Diary of a Fashion Model
She Learns How the 1nconpcuous May Some Gowns

There are certain types of women who need frills. They don't look well in tai1or-mades and the severe stiff lines of their figures make them ap- pear angular in anything that is per fectly plain. Nevertheless if they or nament themselves with frills and ribbons, their personality is over whelmed.
 A young woman of this type was in yesterday. She was small, narrow chested and pale as to color. The plain tailor-made suit she wore em- phasized her sma1lness until she sank into insignificance. And yet Madame commented at once to me that it would never do to show her one of the fluffy, beribboned and heavily draped frocks. It takes a tall or dominant kind of personality to carry off any reavy draping without being lost.
 The street dress that we finally de- filling out her spare figure and yet not dominating her by too much trimming.
 It Is a blue silk serge, very loosely draped about the figure. The blouse is soft, with panel of the same fab ric emphasized by black bone but tons. An insert of the same material over the hips is edged with black bone buttons and increased the width of the figure below the waistline. :. This fact, is further emphasized by the crushed belt of black satin ribbon and a huge black satin bow at the back Long straa nars with errav friu cra give or od ditional sweep to the figure.
 An especially artistic touch Is given this costume by the inconspicuous ruff

Henrietta Smitl1son was an English ctreSs who travelled to Paris with her |ompany to present shakeSpearian plays. It was on her first visit there hat Hector Berlioz, the great French composer, saw her and fell madly in i've with her. Berlioz saw her first in he part of Ophelia, in which she was Ecomparable. He ideallzed her, and without wasting a moment proceeded make her acquaintance and to de- lare his love for her.
 Miss Smithson, unfortunately was lot impressed by Berlioz' suit. In act, his vehemence frightened her, Also there were various stories about he queer conduct of Berlioz in pre- ious love affafra In fact, 1t was aid that when he had been repulsed y one fair Parisienne some time pre- pius he had armed himself with two istols, a bottle of poison, and in fe- hale costume proceeded to the spot where his faithless love lived, with he avowed intention of killing her nd himsalf.
 Miss Smithson had no desire to De- ome unpleasantIy involved. so she ently but firmly refused him, and hen left Paris. Berlioz was wild with, rief. Being unable to follow her to4 2ngland he nevertheless pursued her 7ith letters.
 Everything seemed against the en- moured Berlioz. Miss Smithson was ool, and had no desire to marry him, ut admired his ability as an artist. However, she also learned very soon hat all of Berlioz' admiration for shakespeare and her acting in Shakes Ierian parts was but a pretense. In eality, he had little sympathy for her Tt, and merely feigned interest in it win her attention and to obtain ome of her time for himself. Tn ddition, the families of both Berlioz nd Miss Smithson were positively op- osed to the match, and laid all pos ible obstacles in the way of It's con- ummation.
 Moreover, Miss Smithson's career vas unfavorably affected from the mo- nent she met Berlioz. He hampered Ter, and through division of interest in

her art she rapidly lost good engage ments and her small fortune.
 To add to her misfortune, one day, as she was aughting from her carriage at the thearte door, she fell and frac- tured her ankle so seriously that she became permanently lame.
 It was at this crisis that the ever watchful Ber1ioz saw his opportunity He begged again that she marry him at once, offering to pay all her debts if she did so. He had but $75 in the world at that time, and this was mon- ey borrowed from a friend. Also he had Quarrelled with his parents, from whom he might otherwise have ex- pected some financial assistance. New ertheless, he recklessly put forth his proposition, and at last the adaman- tine Miss Smithson consented.
 They were finally married, and al- though she remained a fretful and im- pertous invalid, he cared for her de- votedly and tenderly all the days of her life.

 In Connecticut the National Wom- ans Party will take no share in the Congressional elections. No Senator is to be elected this year; and in Con- necticut the Suffragists have no desire to oppose the Democratic Party. In this state it is the Republicans who are opposed to the amendment and the Democrats who are favorable. The plank adopted in the Republican State convention was entirely unsatisfactory to the Suffrag1sts of all grades of opinion; while the Democratic plank gave great satisfaction by its inclu- siveness and outspokenness.

U. S. Wire CONTROL
BURLESON idea
Bill Providing for Appraisal
is Introduced in
House
MEASURE APPROVED
BY WILSON, HE SAYS

WASHINGTON. Dec. ii.-Whllo the
Senate yesterday prepared TO tackle
the railroad problem. Postmaster Cen
eral Burleson caused 10 be introduced
IN the House resolution providing for
permanent government ownership Of
telephone and telegraph lines of the
country.
The resolution was introduced by
Representative Moon, OF Tennessee,
chairman OF the House Committee on
Postoiilces and postroads, to which il
later was referred. Mr.. Moon said II
was drafted by Mr.. Burlcson and ap-
proved by President Wilson before the
latter left for France.
Under the wire-cOntrol act enacted
in the last session OF Congress author
izing taking over telephone. telegraph
and cable lines, government control or
the wires ceases when the treaty OF
peace formally is proclaimed.
The Moon resolution extends govern
ment control indefinitely. and directs
that an appraisal OF The telephone and
telegraph systems be made under the
authority OF the act OF Juply %. 1866,
which provides for permanent govern
ment ownership Of the wires. and that
the appraisal be submitted to Congress
for approval OF the purchase OF the
facilities.
Under the provisions OF the Moon
resolution the telephone and telegraph
lines would be made part Of the
postal system Of The United States and
placed under supervision Of the Post
master general. The resolution does
not refer 10 the cables. which were
placed under government control by
President Wilson soon after the armis-
tice was signed.
The act OF 1866 provides for an ap-
pralsal TO be made during a period Of
five years and submission OF the ap-
praisal 10 Congress, which body then
would act upon the question OF pur-
chase Of the systems at the appraised
values.
