Women seem to have become much
addicted to wearing neckpieces Of
many kinds. A little journey through
shops and departments that carry
neckwear reveals such a world Of 1t
and such a variety of 1t that there
must be a great demand for all kinds
of neckwear. Many of the pieces are
intended to replace summer furs.
These include scarfs made of pushes,
ostrich boas, ostrich capes and capes
of marabout feathers or marabout fin
ished with ostrich fringe. This os-
trich fringe, which appears like mara
hout In black, white and natural color,
Is used in borders and bands in scarfs
of gold and silver tissue.
Some of the new pushes used for
scarfs do not attempt close imita-
ton of fur but suggest the most pop
lar summer furs, as ermine and broad
tail and moleskin. Besides these
there are some handsome satin scarfs
and capes trimmed with narrow bands
of real fur, shown with hats to match
like the smart affair that is shown at
the right of the two figures above.
Rich silk tassels and silk embroidered
motifs put this In class with the
handsomest furs.

Nearly all of these are In the natural
taupe color of the feathers, but in os-
trich capes and boas there Is often a
mixture Of white and natural fues.
Rufus made Of malines In very full
plaits and ruffs made Of loops Of wide
satin ribbon are among old acquaint-
ances that find themselves returned to
favor, now that everything In neckwear
proves to be Of interest. They are not
at all difficult to make, the plaits or
loops are simply stitched on to a band
that lies about the neck, and they fas-
ten with ties of narrow satin ribbon.
Small chokers and other small neck
pieces in furs appear to have displaced
larger neckpieces and capes for sum-
mer wear and narrow scarfs of satin,
finished at the ends with fringe, prove
themselves a chic novelty on women
who know how to wear them well.

CONSISTENCY

1t is not easy to appreciate the difficulty President Wilson
experiences in framing his speeches delivered in different coun-
tries and to people OF varied views.
In an experience such as he is having the strongest asset is
consistency, The people OF all countries are consuming with
avidity whatever he has to say, and it is not too much to pre-
sumo that some are looking for an opening to aSsail him for
his views.
But fortunately the president has maintained with unflaq-
ging zeal his support OF fixed principles. Not since the war
began has he voiced an unwholesome view or given expression
10 an unworthy purpose, Behind him stands a nation without
designs of conquest or material reward, 1t is a position that
puzzles the Old World statesmen, and his clear and outspoken
views only serve to mystify those who have no appreciation for
the qualities Of this new and unfamiliar brand Of craftsmanship
No less puzzing than the words Of the president are his
democratic manners, which stand very much in contrast to Old
World formality, 1t would not be diplomatic. and perhaps it
would not be safe, for the dipnitaries to suggest that the presi-
dent is showing too much consideration for the people and their
rights. No doubt an awakening will follow his visit, and a
more reciprocal feeling will be e%ngcndered between rulers and
subjects, which may be good or evil. according to the sympathy
that exists, and the consideration one has for the other.
The president is fortunately not an orator. He INDUCES in
no flights OF rhetoric, He speaks plainly, and in language that
Is not capable OF misunderstanding, except by those who would
wilfully misinterpret what he says. In his tour he has made a
great number OF speeches, He has generally applied himself to
the discussion of events with which everyone is interested, and
in outlining the principles that he represents.
In some ways he is breaking ~precedents, but that is quite
the fashion with him. As president of Princeton he inaueti-
rated some changes that provoked much discussion and some
disapproval. AS governor of New Jersey he pursued the same
course that distinguished his career as the head of a great
university. He has never had as much regard for a practice
that was old but wrong as he has for one that is new and right
How much more difficult it would be 4 for some of our other
American statesmen to outline a given course OF conduct or an
abiding set of principles is readily conceivable, but it may be
said in behalf of the president that his severest critic has been
unable to successfully charge him with any change in the opinion
he originally held,

. GOOD BEGINNING

Gov. Roberts has made a good beginning. He has shown
strength by compelling the selection Of his own official house
hold.
He realizes that he will be held responsible for the success
or failure of his administration, and he acted wisely in selecting
men in the various departments who are in thorough harmony
with him.
In making the financial condition OF the state the paramount
care and consideration OF his administration he will have the
active and united support OF all the people, however much or
little the politicians may be disturbed. For years the politicians
have made ducks and brakes out of the peoples money, No one
knew exactly where or how it went, and they had ample reason
to believe that more of it went in some directions than was
necessary for the best interests of the state. Consolidating
departments and aboishing unnecessary offices, as we'll as other
economies that will save the money of the people, is a perlous
flying in the faces of the politicians. but it will be Endorsed by
the people, and it will rebound to their benefit and well-belng,
whether they are wise enough or discerning enough to indorse
it or not.
In times like these economy is necessary for states and
nations as it is Tor individuals, and it is a virtue SO long as it
hats this side Of parsimony. Our schools and public insttu-
tons must be literally supported and sustained, to the end that
the public may be properly served; but it is not necessary to
pay two men for doing one mans work, nor is it good business
TO multiply departments when all business enterprises of magni-
tude are concentrating and reducing.
Tennessee has not been wisely or we'll treated for some
time, and if Gov, Roberts will inaugurate a better system he will
render his people a good service, He has a splendid opportunity,
and he starts out with the confidence of the people, which is a
potential asset,
