SAYS THERE IS
 NO EXCUSE FOR
 TIPPING CUSTOM

London, May 11.-John Hodge, a Labor member of Parliament, has de- clared himSelf as opposed to tipping and says British workmen would like to see an end made of the custom But the onus, he adds, is on the en- ployer, not the employee. Today with the readjustment of wages and all workers in receipt of a living wage, there is no excuse for tipping at al1,'' said MT. Hodge. Probably the greatest move forward would be for the government to make tipping illegal, punishing both the Upper and receiver.

Fashion is prolific of styles and modes and derives her inspiration from many lands, but after all is said and done it is the little frock built on the plainest of lines which finds first place in milady's favor Youth needs no elaborate trimmings and is at it's best when dressed in simplicity.
 The frock above is made of Copen- hagen blue crepe de chine. Dark blue braid trims the blouse, the bottom of the skirt and emphasizes the large patch pockets. The dress has no l opening. It is slipped on over the head and is held in at the waist by elastic. A black tie adds a piquant touch to the costume.

B. H. s. NOTES By IDA CLARE

It is seldom that among the cele- ibrities who speak at B. H. s. assem- plies we can find a widely-read au- thor. But one came yesterday morn ing. Herman Hagedorn is the 'tone." !"
 MT. Hagedorn's works has been read
 throughout the country for some
 years past but probably his greatest
 success has been with his latest book,
 ''You Are the Hope of the World"
 It was altogether fitting that MT Hagedorn should come to our assem-
 plies to speak as he is one of our
 own Connecticut authors and is now residing at Greenfield Hill. He came not to speak of his own work in lit erature but to tell us of his dear and intimate friend and companion, Theodore Roosevelt.
 During the whole address the speaker, addressed his subject as ''T. R.'' He said, that was what intimate friends always called the ex-presi- dent. CT. R. was g. generous friend" /" he said. ''His friends admired him. One time remember he was seri-
 ousIy i'll, and I went to visit him one afternoon. He said to me I'm not afraid to die. I had my life and my good times and I am willing to pay
 
 me is to think that my enemies will | delight when I am gone and will
 say, Well he's out of the ring
 Those who say they do not like T. R. only know him from the newspaper cartoons. I wish those few could have seen him as have seen him, the l country gentleman at Sagamore HILL Humorous and pathetic incidents of Roosevelts life in the West, at l Sagamore Hill, on exploring expedi- 1 tions and in political battle, were re- 1 lated by MT. Hagedorn.
 In closing the author said: They
 say the man is dead. It is true he is gone, but his georgeous spirit ever lives; He cut a trail, clean and strait
 and millions followed him. Men con \ fided in him; women took chances from him; kings stood in awe of
 him; children made him their friend. | He loved many lands but he loved his | own the best; he was terrible in 1 battle but kind to the weak He l fought for justice and right against | tyranny. Wherever he went he car
 ried his own pack. Out in the wilder l ness, miles from anywhere, while 1 others were free, T. R. had his con-
 science. Is that man dead? Oh, such | men do not die.''
