SIDE TALKS
The Beauty of Shabbies
RY RUU OAMERoM

DO you mind shabby clothes? I don't. At any rate. not nearly so much as I oo cheap new ones.
 There is a charm. to be sure, about newness. A perfectly new gown hanging in the clothes press; a. new pair of sheer silk stockings lying untouched in the sweet scented bu- :eau drawer with ones best prettiest; dainty new lingerie, fresh and sweet and beribboned,-the feminine heart that does not find joy in such things would be about ready to stop beat ing. New shoes are my own par ticular adoration. When we used to say what we would do when we were rich Cit is always, when before one ig twenty,) my favorite "Croesusism" -Nas 8 pair of new .an shoes every other day. I think my New England ancestry withheld me from even dreaming of having them every day They Must Have Been Good in the
 First Place.
 And yet, to return to the main road, there is also 0 certain charm about garments that have grown a bit shabby. Of course, to attain this charm, they must have been good garments in the first place, of excel lent lines and self respecting ma terial, and thoroughly we'll chosen as respects the person and personality of the wearer. One must have the i stuff in one in the first place, if one is to grow old gracefully. A beau tiful old age does not develop out of a cheap and empty life.
 1 X Garment Gains Distinction From i the Wearer.
 i But, granted these original quali- i fications, to my mind, a garment i gains a certain distinction by being | a little shabby. It falls into the lines | of the wearer. It grows to fit him 1 in a personal and individual way; 1t absorbs some of his temperam ent.

Men, especially, it seems to ms, gain rather than lose by a little shabbi- ness. Be it well understood, I do not mean untidiness or careless grooming and that this belief of mine is contrary to Hoyle.
 I have the same feeling about house furnishings. I am thinking of one of the pleasantest living rooms I ever entered. My eye does not visualize a single new looking thing in it. The big comfortable easy chairs, the soft colored oriental rugs. the center table pleasantly filtered with magazines, the low bookcases that ramble around two sides of the room and the books themselves that fill and overflow the cases-all have a used look. There are even badly marred places on some of the furni- ture, and distinctly worn spots in the rugs (this is the heart of a house in which six children have grown up); but I think it a far more beautiful living room than many I have seen where everything was new and costly and handsome.

"Porkless" Rivers and Harbors Bill
Gets This Concession

Two million dollars in aided appro-
priations was voted yesterday after
noon into the hitherto 'porkless"
rivers and harbors' bill. Chairman
Small. in charge of the bill. protested
that IL Congress were insistent on
ignoring the work of his committee
and the army engineers, it might as
well draw a new bill altogether.
Congressman from the North At
lantic ports aided those from South
Atlantic and Gulf harbors in adding
more than 10000 to the original
bill in a little over five hours.
The greatest item is for deepening
Charleston, S. c., harbor to forty
feet. s1,5Oo0oo now, and 5000 900 for
the project. A naval drydock is TO
be voted this harbor in another bill.
and unless today's deepening of the
harbor had been approved. it would
have been impossible for a large.
ocean-going vessel to have reached
the drydock. Representatives Miller.
of Minnesota, Britten, of Illinois. and
Butler, of Pennsylvania, made Wig
orous but Intellectual fight against
this project.

KAISER HAS PLANS
To BOLSHEVIzE u. S.
Hopes to Finally Give America Dose
of Russian Treatment.

Germany hopes to BoIshevize
America, according to William
English Walling.
The New York ex-Socialist, in an
address before the National Con-
ference of American Lecturers yes
terday, said:
Ninety per cent of the German
people rely chiefly on BoIshevizing
first Italy. then France, and then
England. and finally. America, just
as Germany Bolshevized Russia
They are intoxicated with their
success in Russia where in one
year and at the expense of only a
few hundred million they acquired
an empire beyond their widest
dreams"
Walling outlined the position of
Socialists of all countries in the
world war.
II can personally testify that the
Bolsheviki movement has lain ready
for German utilization for fifteen
years" Walling asserted. Can
any intelligent human being deny
the German general stan knew it?'
