F0Ok Recess in Deadlock
The deadlock forced a recess of
noon and the senate to this morning.
The senate recalled the compensation
bill from the house. The conference
committee reported a compromise had
not been reached and in the hope of
coming to an agreement the senate
returned the bill to the house by
vote of 20, to Is, following a heated
debate in which, charge were made
that both factions were trying to pro-
long the session. Members of the
two houses claimed last night the
deadlock seems hopeless of solution.
The leader of the majority in the
lower house made a motion to reject
any further compromise with the SEN
ate. Representative Kribs of Sho-
shone county has again broken with |
the majority on this question.
There are now pending in the SEN
ate alone 235 bills which are not yet
disposed of.
The auto license bill, with the SEN
ate amendment, again passed the
lower house yesterday morning. I'm

I've always been a firm believer in hav-
Ing my favorite color around me, and
thing everyone who does this feels a
sense Of harmony. Color environment
has greater effect upon our nerves than
we realize. Don't you know how un-
consciously sometimes you are affected
for better or worse by the decorations of
certain room in which you have to
live. As We say. the colors Jar upon
one," and 1t expresses II exactly. They
do jar on one. They jar the nerves and
the whole mental balance is disturbed.
Personally. 1 think we owe a distinct
duty to those around US to dress har-
moniously, because we AFFECT them quite
as much as We do ourselves, when We
wear colors that clash.
When we were putting on "Hulda From
Holland" remember a really beautiful
woman who used to come to the studios.
looking for a possible opening. She was
slender and dark with wonderful coloring
and she always wore black. Probably she
thought II enhanced her beauty. as so
many women do, and certainly II did
make her look more striking. 1t was the
enect upon others, though, that was un-
pleasant.
After she became a member of the COM
pany, asked her one day why she al
ways wore black in preference to colors.
NO. It is not mourning" she said.
But, don't like colors at all, and black
is the most becoming thing wear. You
know. Catherine of Russia always loved
black velvet, and IL 1 could AFFORD It, /
would wear nothing else. 1t is truly re-
gal"
Well, It may be truly regal, but /
couldn't help getting a mental picture Of
her ladyship trailing around in black vel
vet robes on melting July day, when we
were out on location. And as for Cath
crime of Russia, never understood that
she was a pleasant, social old body at all,
any more than Lucrezia Borgia, who al
ways loved black velvet. Perhaps It was
little tribute to her victims.
I know that this particular lover of
black had a fearfully depressing effect
upon every one, and the men simply fed
from her. One OF the boys told me he
thought she had a secret sorrow which
she was nourishing.
Personally, like the delicate, neutral
shades and pastel tints. 1t seems to me
the complimentary colors are so much
more restful and harmonious than the
primary ones. I think 1t was Worth, the
great French dressmaker, who declared
that he gained all of his inspiration and
ideas for color combinations from ma
ture- Some great duchess, forget who,

occasion. Worth said he stayed up all
