There is no dividing line. One glides

Immortality lovely buildings to desola-

adopt our method Of rolling the veil

mouth free, and sometimes the nose.
1t Is not strictly true to say that
they plaster the veil against the face

Venetian masque veil attached to the
hat, which falls free from the eyes

The British Strike Settled.

Just when the British railway strike
seemed to have settled into stub
born contest, with danger Of spread
of the disturbance to other industries,
a compromise was effected At q con-
ference between government and
union leaders and truce was de-
clared. Probably the necessity for
settlement was more urgent from the
government point Of view than the
public realized. Under the terms Of
the settlement work is to be resumed
Immediately and negotiations win be
started anew on an understanding that
they are to be completed by the end
of December. Wages are to be stabl-
lied at the present level for . year
and any time after August they may

terms are 90 favorable in certain re-
spects to the workers that the ad-
justment may Be regarded by them as
q success. Their leaders, however, are
careful in public statements not to
proclaim settlement as a victory, but
accept it as compromise. The most
gratifying feature Of this outcome is
that the radical elements in the Brit
ish labor ranks that were seeking the
development along revolutionary lines
have been defeated. Whatever the
government may have been forced to
yield in the terms Of the settlement
is fully compensated for by the soli-
darity that is effected with the work

The courts may not find it so easy
to separate the good and the bad in
the law, and may condemn it as q
whole on the ground that the bad is
so inseparab]y interviewer as to ruin
the whole fabric.
The courts may not display the
same courtesy of nice discrimination
that the obsequious curate showed in
respect to his egg.
The curate was the breakfast guest
Of the bishop, and was trying despef-
ately to swallow and keep down his
egg. 81 am afraid your egg is bad"
said the bishop. "Don't say that" re-
piled the curate; "parts of it are very
good, indeed"
1t may be as difficult in respect to
law as in respect to an egg to find
it good as a whole, though rotten in
spots. Why not cut out the laws bad
or suspected spots now, leaving the
wholesome remedially effective and
unassailable provisions to work the de-
sired cure!

The Industrial Conference.

Much is expected, and considerable
if not all expected should be the re.
suit, of the conference which begins
in this town today about existing bust
ness and social conditions. All in
terests are represented. Active capi-
tai, active labor, and the very much
concerned general public are gathered
at the table, with the full right of
discussion. Opinions are invited, and
many, we may be sure, will be sub
mitted. The doors will be wide open.
Whatever decisions are reached will
be openly reached.
Here, then, American fashion, the
stage is set for deliberations touch
ing countrywide unrest and anxiety,
such as we have not known before.
1t would be folly to deny, or try to
disguise, the actual state of case. It
is known of all. Affairs generally are
in an exceedingly unsatisfactory
shape, and should be put in the proper
shape as speedily as possible.
Let US at the very outset, however,
repudiate certain exaggerations which
have been marking discussions on the
stump and in portions of the press
for some time. Let it be understood
that capital is not trying to enslave
labor, and labor is not trying to over
turn our form Of government. As a
matter Of fact, neither thing is pos.
sible. Capital is powerful, but would
lack that power if it had that dispo-
sition. And powerful as labor Is, It
could not destroy American ihstitu-
tions if it so desired.
Suppose we consider capital and
labor, net as each is described by the
extreme Representatives of the other,
but IS both have but recently mani
Tested themselves. Both co-operated
and did their best during the war.
The incentive was the common safety.
