Justice the Keynote In
the Government OF
a Democracy
By Governor SAMUEL W. M'CALL
of Massachusetts,
THE people rule in democracy

THE people rule in democracy,
i but their rule must not be ar
bitrary and subject only to
their own desires.
Justice must be the keynote, and
the chief purpose of a state is to se-
cure order under justice.
OF necessity the government of a
great democracy must be conducted
by representatives or agents, but it
is indispensable that the principals
shall always be able to see how their
government is conducted. There
should be no invisible agencies not
chosen by the people and not acting
in the interest of the public.
CERTAIN FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS
OF THE INDIVIDUAL ARE PRO-
TEcTEp EVEN AGAINST THE EN-
cRoAcHMENTs OF GOVERNMENT
ITSELF.
These are rights that have been
established in the long struggle be-
tween autocracy and liberty, having
the very essence Of freedom, which
governments have at times been
prone to invade.
The right Of free speech and a
free press, the right to worship God
according to the dictates of ones
conscience and the right to be heard
BY judges, surrounded by every safe
guard for the UNBIASED ADMIN
ISTRATION OF JUSTICE, ARE
AMONG SUCH RIGHTS.

BLACK EMBROIDERY is NEW
One of the Novelties for Winter Is the
Somber Background of Linen
or Canvas.

One of the novelties in the embroid-
cry line is the work on black linen or
canvis. The colored embroidery on
this somber background is particular
ly rich and effective, and the color
scheme can easily be made to match
any room or combination of color
schemes, says a writer in the Phila-
delphia North American. The long,
fiat pillow which are so much used on
the built-in benches about the fireplace
are extremely attractive in black linen
decorated with bright red Oriental
peoples, or with a colorful combination
of field flowers. Then a scarf to
match for the library table is good,
and perhaps an embroidered cover for
a telephone book. The effect of these
black em~broideries is not at all de-
pressing. On the contrary, they are
very rich and warm looking in a win
ter room, and add just the attractive
note of Somberness.
In the matter of stitches we are re-
turning once to the styles-pfab
most half a century ago. For the old
fashioned satin stitch has returned
with renewed beauty. In some in
stances it is done with the extremely
fine silk which was practically the only
embroidery floss used or known by our
grandmothers, and in others, it Is done
with very heavy mercerized floss in
large, splashy patterns. AS a result
of this difference in treatment and
materials, some of the embroidery is
delicate and as finely tinted as a bit
of china this is mostly used for small
table centers and purely ornamental
pieces. On the other hand, the heav-
Ter work is bold and only the fiat raw
tones of the colors are used. This last
is employed on such utilitarian pieces
as pillow tops, runner and all sorts
of service bags and cases.

BROWN VELVET MOST MoDISH
Care Must Be Used by the Buyer, How
ever, to Select Just the
Right Shade.

If you are planning a velvet frock or
a velvet tailor for this winter, by all
means have it brown, urges a fashion
authority. Brown velvet is just now
the ne plus ultra in m~odishness. But
be careful to select the right brown.
Maryland brown is the shade of
shades, according TO Paris. In America
this color is dubbed tobacco brown
and Paris has named it Maryland
brown after a cheap grade of cigarettes
sometimes called "coachman's food"
In velvet, however, Maryland Brown is
an exclusive shade, and some of the big
couturiers are turning out stunning
suits and dresses of brown velvet.
Copper brown is liked also, and In
the yellow shades, gold, canary, man.
DARN and banana are favored. Evening
frocks of banana tulle or satin have
touches of black in strong contrast to
the pale yellow of the material.

WAKEFUL HOURS SEEM LONG
One Thinks He Has Slept Little If He
Is Aroused Several Times Dur
ing the Night.

1t is surprising what little sleep men
can get on with, and then, not a few
men who think they are getting only
an hour or two of sleep a night, are
really getting much more; but because
they awake or are awakened five or
six times during the night they think
they sleep very little in between, says
a writer in the American Magazine.
Nothing is so fallacious as u esti-
mate of how long we have been
asleep. Usually when we wake, feel
ing quite rested, we were scarcely
more than an hour or two asleep. If
we wake feeling so tired that we hope
1t is before midnight, 1t is probably
nearly time to get up. Only too often,
indeed, it is after the time.
Feeling rested is very largely a mat
ter of how much our wills are
awakened, how firmly we have got
hold of ourselves and then how inter
esting is the work ahead of US and
how anxious we are to get up and get
at 1t, while feeling fatigued is very
much a matter of not wanting to get
up, because the work ahead of us is
annoying and full of complications,
and is not promising at best, and has,
perhaps, been put off for three or four
days because we do not care to get
at 1t.

WASH YOUR FACE AT NIGHT
This Is Advice of Expert Who De-
cIares That 1t Is the First
Law of Beauty.

The first law of beauty is not to
leave powder on the fact over night,
to say nothing Of rouge. 1t is enough
to ruin the most beautiful skin event.
ually, and its effect on a complexion,
which had no real claims to beauty,
is nothing short of disastrous, declares
a beauty expert. Powder is usually
put on oyer q coating of cold cream to.
make it stick. This paste, left on all
night, clogs the pores. The skin habit
uated to this treatment Is pasty and
sallow, without life, and usually the,
pores are enlarged from the deposits
of powder.
It seems so simple to slip into bed
at once when you are tired and it|
seems hard to take the time and en-.
ergy to give your face a good clean-I
ing. But really it is worth the effort,
for by staying up ten minutes more
to wash out all vestige Of cosmetics
you will keep your skin lovely.
The nightly cleaning should be the
most important and the most thor
ough of all. If it is properly done, all
that will be necessary In the morning
will be the cold sponge off. At night,
however, all the dust and dirt of thel
day has settled on the face, besidesI
the cold cream and powder, and Ill
needs a good scrubbing to get 1t on.

of the handsome long coats they must
be dressy, and the result is all that
could be desired.
Muffs developed to accompany these
little dressy coats are quite small. The
canteen-shaped muff is one of the pop
ular shapes. Some new muffs are
given an unusual touch by having each
hand opening bordered with a row Of
short tails, set on fringe fashion.
Wolf pelts are being pushed as
strong rivals of fox for muff and scarf
sets this winter. Wolf skins are cheap
err than fox and they are said to wear
better.

SHORT FUR COAT
Smart New Garment One of Nov
elites of the Season.
Introduction Due Partly to Scarcity OF
Materials and Certainty of
High Prices.

The short fur coat introduced this
dressy garment. For years, In fact,
n might safely say always, the short
fur coat has ben classed with sport
garments, and has been rather severe,
square cut and boxlike, comfortable
looking, but not dressy.
This season fur garment manufac-
turers and designers have brought out
innumerable capes that were fitted or
semi-itted, rather after the fashion
of the dolman developed from time to
time In cloth. Some of these capes
are equipped with sleeves, others are
sleeveless.
The latest novelty, however, Is the
short coat that is semi-fitted by being
drawn in at the waistline with a belt
of fur or a handsome silk cord girdle.
More often than otherwise two kinds
of fur are combined in these garments.
The sketch illustrates a coat of the
type described. 1t is. made of MOLE
skin and is trimmed with Hudson seal,
this latter fur being used for high
fiaring collar and deep cuffs. The
coat buttons comfortably and securely
in the center front.
The possibility of q fur shortage
early in the season, and the certainty
that the prices of furs would be very
high, probably had a good deal to do
with the introduction of a smart and
dressy short fur coat. Designers real
lied that in order to make them rivals
