On every hand explanations are
sought of the failure Of sentiment for
Roosevelt to cristyalize. A week ago,
those who opposed the nomination Of
Roosevelt were fearful Of a stampede
to him, but It is now said that that Is
impossible. Many can not understand
what brought this change
The leaders, after a canvass, de-
clared that Rooseyelts strength will

TARIFF ISSUE-AND OTHERS.

Washington, January 1.-THE
luncheon which the Democratic Ma
tional Committee enjoyed at the White
House was the first hospitality of the
kind which the President has ever
shown to the organization of his party
Some of the committeeman, recalling
this and knowing that a President
may summon whomever he may wish
to see to come to the White House,
were little surprised to hear Mr.. Will
son emphasizing the isolation" of ,his
life at the executive mansion. And
some or them reflected that his life
had not been so excessively "isolated"
after all.
The President was hardly less happy
when he tried to talk slang to his
guests. The Democratic National Com
mitteemen are by no means finicky,
and some of them admit to deficiencies
in grammar and diction. But they look
for something different in a Presi-
dent, and they can not understand
whether the President was trying to
get himself down to what he thought
to be their level or whether he is try
ing a new pose with which to follow
the affectation of isolation" which
can not be much longer maintained.
However the committeeman were
politely responsive to the Presidents
efforts. They relished the food and

New York, June l6.-With the
hrst, sultry days OF summer one nat
urally turns to white or the pale ton.
ed linens and cottons. Owing to the
popularity OF stripes and checks, it
is safe to say that 1t will not be an
all white season. but all white is to
be very popular, nevertheless.

popular for blouses this summer and
a particularly dainty revival is hand
kerchief linen. Although one ex'
poets linen to crush more easily than
almost any OF the other materials II
is nevertheless cool and fresh for
summer wear. There are some es'
pecially pretty stripes and patterns
IL these linens, combinations of rose

various other pastel shades, now ia

sheer cottons and silks. Two effect
i've peplum blouses are illustrated
here; one is of pongee, slip on
model, finished at the normal waist
with the new elastic shirrlng and
the other is of pale pink organdy.
The pongee blouse is worn with a
pGngee skirt. making a cool frock
for mornings or informal afternoon
purposes. The organdy blouse, that
closes down the front with loops
and tiny crystal buttons, is belted
with a narrow black grosgrain rib
bon belt, and Is worn with one Of
the new black satin skirts This is
one of the novel combinations of
the season for afternoon wear.
Neck finishes and cuffs offer par
ticularly interesting possibilities this
season. A well fitting cuff has a
lot to do with the success of the
gown, and may be fatterins or &C.
cidedly unbecoming to the hand Al
sleeves, as the season advances they
will, in all probability, be as much
favored as in seasons past. High
collars seem to have entirely given
way to the open throat, which proves
that Dame Fashion has more of
common sense to deal with just now
than ever before in her reign.
The Hand Painted Fad
Having reached its height, it is
said that the hand painted notion Is
now on the wane. Perhaps the very
last thing to be talked about is the
painted shoe top; black patent leath-
err shoes, with white tops, are finish
cd with delicately colored fieur de
lis Or orchid, and canvas shoes also
are stenciled effectively to carry out
the color scheme Of the frock.
For low shoes and pumps the stem
ciled stocking is the thing. Creton-
ne trimmed canvas shoes are being
worn with white linen and cotton
sports costumes.
