after the interest Of the taxpayer. but
are overriding the recommendations OF
the department. They are coming to
the appropriations committees, bring
ing pressure to bear on their congress
men. and in this way Bringing about
legislation not looking to the general
interests of this country, not having
the general interests of the people in
their hearts and mind, but having In
mind the taking care Of themselves
and hedging themselves about by such
rules and restrictions Of administration
that it is utterly impossible for the
head of the department, II their de-
mands are granted, to give the people a
good administration.
They are doing this for the purpose
of protecting ineff1ciency and insub-

Would the gentleman deny to- the
postal employees the right to petition
their congressman" asked Representa-
tive Griffin of New York,
Absolutely not. ] am not denying
that right. But when there are nation
wide organizations, not to further the
interest of the mail service but to
further their own salaries and extract
from the. people of the country more
taxes in order that salaries may be
increased, then I do say there ought to
be some consideration given to the man
ieast thought of in appropriations
the man who pays the bill"

COME TO DEFENSE

PROPOSED PENSION PLAN
DISCUSSED BY MEMBERS
Representative Sisson Criticises
Government Employees for Urging
Legislation for Own Benefit.

An attack upon the National Associa.
ton of Post Office Clerks, made in the
House yesterday by Representative
Sisson of Mississippi, brought from
Representative Madden of Illinois, Rep
resentative O'Shaunessy of Rhode Is
land and others considerable praise fol
the work of postal employees and ex.
pressions of conviction that more pen
sion legislation instead of less is in
order.
Mr.. Sisson produced letter from
office clerks organization, writer
from his office in the Colorado build.
ing. in which he urged all clerks t.
write Immediately to their congress
men in behalf of the Griffin bill
granting indefinite leaves of absence

Office Department" 1t provides pen.

delivery service and the city free. de-

MI. Sisson's Allegations.
Representative Sisson opened his at.
tack by motion to strike from the
post office appropriation bill the item
of s234.o0o, providing for the pension
features now in existence for the bene-
fit Of injured employees of the railway
postal service, post Office inspection
service or letter carrier service and
other employees coming within the ex-
listing law.
Representative Sisson said the mails
are being flooded with letters from or
gained government employees bodies

Response by Mr.. Madden.

In answer. Representative Madden of
Illinois said: Postal employees are
citizens, and have the same rights as
other citizens. Every one writes let
tiers to create a sentiment of something
or other. Probably the gentleman from
Mississippi writes letters to his con-
stituents to create a sentiment in favor
of his own election. IL 1t any more of
a crime for a postal employee to write
letters for the support Of legislation
than it is for a legislator to write let
tiers in support Of his own reelection?
These postal employees do the best
work any man can do; they have low
salaries. are obedient to the law and
they do all they possibly can do to
promote the efficiency of the depart
ment. If they ask a PENSIONS that
crime?
The great body of the people have
the right to petition US. We must re-
member too. that we are the servants
not the masters. If we would be mas
tiers. let us resign our seats here and
take our places with the rank and file
Of the people. that We may dictate to
Congress-"

The manniquins will display suits. af- ternoon gowns and evening clothing, and millinery that will be suitable for all occasions The floors have been beautifully decorated in the French style of windows and panels and the color scheme is rose and gray.
 Nadine is used a great deal on mil linery.
 Hand painted hats are new. The cretOnne hats are very late and are very effective combined with straw. and worn with the sport and summer gowns. Phelps Dodge ard showing these hats. and in silks in- stead of the linen cretonne. and most of them are combined with handsome straws. and the trimmings are bands of ribbon or an ornament in the Japa- rere or Chinese style.
 Fan shaped back combs are very good.
 The hats ore getting gradually larger with graceful droops. l The now blouses are full. and some have replums extending over the skirt. ! The newest suits show decided curve at the waist. Colored vestees orc in vogue.
 ] Tbe uewest jackets are very. very short. and they are recommended for aIl but the very tall or very stout.
 The collars on the suits and coats are arransed so that they may be worn oren when tho sun shines. and closed when the thermometer relapses unex. pectedly.
 The sleeves have the hell shaped flare at the wrist. and the extreme fore cuff.
 The sphere of the cape is spreading each day. It is now seen on the sep arate blouses. looking like very large and de-~ure collar of Georsette crene or chiffon.
 The deep Spanish founce on the smocked dresses of organdies and voiles are new.
 The lowered silks are trimmed with ribbon. the white taffetas. bordered with black velvet. and the sheer linens are trimmed with bands of the taffeta, and handsome and dainty lace, and touches of hand embroidery The capes on the six dresses are trimmed with little box plaits ruches, or rucbes made of frayed edged silk.
 The hip has had a rather hard time of it lately. II was entirely suppress cd under the French Empire styles, and was just beginning to see a chance of social recognition when a. long came the farthingale petticoat, the new Spanish fiounce. and is now completely submerged in sea of hoops, reed and featherboning.

 New cultures are high on the head.
 A frock of the season with two sa- lient features of today. the shoulder cape and jumper made into one. and with it's bouffant skirt. has the silhou- cite of the hour
 Russian checks are very good for the trimmer models, and the best trim mings for dresses of this sort, are leather and buttons.
 The farthmgale petticoat is abso- lutelv the newest thing. and no belle in the ante-hellum days had a more charming gown than those of today rade over the farthineale petticoat with it's daring Spanish founce.
 The straight and narrow ways of the small sleeves. scanty skirts and the meaere feures have been forgoiten. and the spring fashions are retnrneg Ito the most prodisal of new styles. free, floating. full of lightness and grace
 The yoke craze on the skirts has partially abated and is now either O. witted or forms a half yoke between box nlai;s or at each side of a group of plaits. The pocket on suits and gowns is still an epidemic especially in the suits of the country club. and hacking order.
 The sheer blouses are very much in vogue. However. with the check suit and the English fiannels. blouses of taffeta with large pearl buttons are much preferred.
 The new oDen design boots in cham. ois. and buckskin are the latest arriv, als in the world of shoes.
 The newest combination sport and dress hat. is that of LeghOrn with fac ing of cherry. green CT blue and the ton hand painted in birds. flowers, or I trimmed with an odd ornament.
 Bakst. the famous Russian artist, has a great influence in the color com, bination of today, and most of the daring combinations and designs are attributed to this man, and they are wonders, too.
 Sprine gowns for street wear are cut high at the throat White flannel suits for outing wear, are very popular and are often com bined with bright coIored taffeta and satins. in landings. collars. cuffs and vestees.
