D UYERS in thrOngs are making
- their holiday pilgrimage to the
r bon counters just now. looking for
Suggestions for gifts. There is a long
list of handsome and dainty articles
made of ribbon on display, with bags
Of many kinds maintaining their place
as the favorite. Shopping bags con-
sumo more yards of ribbon than any
other one of the innumerable things
that are made of it, for these bags are
more decorative and more serViceable
than almost any other kind. Their
richness appeals to women and their
individuality. Purchasers pick out the
style of bag they like. select the rib
bon and mounting that pleases them
most. choose a proper lining AID put
them together in a way to suit them
selves. If they need any coaching
those who sell the ribbons are there to
help them out
Three handsome bags as shown in
the picture are fine examples OF rib
bon work. Plain satin and metallic
brocaded ribbon are used for the bag
at the left Of the group. It is made by
gathering the brocaded ribbon along
it's edges and sewing these gathered
edges TO a panel Of the plain ribbon
For decoration a heavy silk or tinsel
cord is applied In a loose knot and
sewed fat to the bag with invisible

sional election of 1910. and which all
but destroyed it in the presidential
election of 1912.
According to a story that was told
of Taft, curious stranger asked a
gatekeeper at the Union station in
Washington where he would stand the
best chance of seeing the presi-
dent in the few spare hours that he
had between trains. fright where
you are was the reply. Hes al
ways either taking a train or getting
off of one"
Taft was the first president to draw
the present salary of $4,000. Con-
gress had also adopted, two years be-
fore he came in, the custom Of allow
ing $4,000 yearly for the travelling
expenses of the president, and he be-
came the great presidential traveller,
making a record of 10000 miles in
four years, as he went about the
country appealing for a reversal Of
the verdict against his administration.
In vain he strove TO turn back the tide.
which only sported with him.
after having elected him by 1,2O0,-
OOO plurality, the people parted with
Taft more in sorrow than In anger.
They did not question that he was a
good president, but that is secondary
consideration. A president must be
first of all politician and a leader.

THERE is no getting away from the
4 fact that there is an all-pervad-
ing glitter in the displays of dresses
for formal evening wear. 1t is a much
bespangled mode and the only thing
that saves 1t from being t&wdry is the
discrimination that designers use in
choosing color according to the amount
of spangled surface in the dress, and
in tOning down cOlOrs with black. Only
in all white, ali black or combinations
of the two, they allow themselves
dresses entirely covered with sequins.
But when cOIOred sequins are used
they appear in panels or irregular Dor
ders with black, as sapphire blue Sc
quins with black satin and lace, or
henna sequins with dark brown net
or satin. Beads also help out in this
frosty sparkle that has settled on win
ter apparel-and they have made their
appearance even on street clothes.
In the midst of so many dazzling RI
vGls an evening gown that is quite
without sparkle is likely to achieve
much distinction. There are to be
found among the displays, beautiful
silks or metal tissue dresses yelled

with black or brown or gray net The
nets are embroidered with narrow
ribbon flowers or little festoons OF
silk floss. Then there are beautiful
black chantilly dresses unadorned ex-
cept for girdles Of artificial flowers
or a corsage of them. Keeping them
company, there are handsome velvet
gowns mostly in black, dark brown or
dark blue. A magnificent example of
the velvet gown appears in the picture
al the left. a few beads pick out the
lines of the embroidery on the bodice,
but silk floss gives sufficient brightness
to the embroidery that covers the back
and reappears on the front of the
skirt
Ribbon and velvet in a contrasting
color make the odd decoration on the
velvet frOck at the right. This is a
simple but very original design, in
which narrow ribbon fringe and mar
row ribbon, outlining and joining the
curious leaf motifs present something
entirely new. 1t has a IOw-neck bod
ice with a pretty chemisette of geOrg-
cite and is made in bright blue velvet.

dement's of almost every president
while he remains the central figure of
partisan strife. "a statesman is
politician who is dead" said Thomas
3. Reed.
In this age of ours, when men are
going to school to learn business and
farming and all manner of vocations,
it was natural that there should appear
In the White House man like Wood
row Wilson, who had learned politics
in the classroom rather than In the
wardroom. The eighth Of our Virginia
born presidents-in reality he is not
a Virginian, but the son <of an Ohio
clergyman and of an English mother
was a student or teacher Of the sci
ence, or rather the art Of governing for
80 years before he held a political
Office.
That fact was left out of their reck-
oning by the Democratic bosses Of cor
rupt, machine-ruIed New Jersey when
they summoned the president of Prince
ton university from the golf links one
afternoon in the fall of 1910 to receive
the nomination for governor. When
this supposed novice in politics de-
clared. as he floundered through what,
as he had to own up, was his first po-
Iitical speech, that if elected governor
he would govern, the politicians nudged
one another and laughed in their
sleeves at the idea Of a professor try
ing to run their machine. They laugh
ed out loud when they saw him actual
ly sit down in the governors chair and
begin to play politics out of a book.
OF all things, it was a book which he
himself had written in his youthful
school days merely as a thesis for his
Pho. at Johns Hopkins. The young
graduate-student made the discovery
that our Constitution created a vac
uum, which the bosses had rushed in
to fill.
Alas, popular leadership is neither
q science nor an art that can be taught
out of book.
Where other leaders of our democ-
racy have appealed to the emotions, he
is one of the least electric, least dra-
matte Of our presidents, with no anec-
dotes to popularize him, with no leg
ends Of his youth or myths about his
political career to vitaliZe him to the
general imagination. He owes his va
rious successes at the polls to the cold
! logic of the political situation and little
to his popularity. His academic aloof-
! ness from politics, at time when pol
iticians had fallen into disfavor, made
him the available man Tor governor in
1910. AS a candidate for president, he
ran a poor second to Champ Clark in
the popular primaries of 1912. He was
nominated at Baltimore only after 45
| ballots. and then only as a result of
Bryan's overthrow of the steam roller.
And he was elected by the division of
the Republicans between Roosevelt and
Taft, though he received smaller vote
than the Democrats had polled In
three past elections.
It is the tragedy OF Woodrow VII
sons nature that when the elements
were mixed In him, magnetism was de.
MED him, that lOdestone which draws
the hearts OF men. The head has been
the powerhouse Of his leadership.

WILLIAM HOWARD TAFT

ENTHEN Roosevelt and Taft rode
w up Pennsylvania avenue on
March 4. 1909, it was the first time
since Jackson and Van Buren, had
passed that way side by side, more
than 20 years before, that a retiring
president would not have preferred an
other seat mate and successor than the
one whom the fortunes of politics
had thrust upon him.
Roosevelt alone selected his success
or.
Naturally, everyone assumed that we
were to have a Roosevelt admin
fstratfon by another name. and it was
expected in the campaign that the
ex-president would not go farther
away from the White House than
Oyster Bay. Instead, he plunged into
the depths of Africa
The fate of William Howard Taft
would be pathetic If he himself had
not met 1t and borne 1T with a smile.
He was ADLER, more upright, more
independent than some far more sue
cessful presidents. But by bent and
training he was a judge, and the
White House is no place for a judge.
AS lawgiver and governor of
Manila, Taft had won the confidence
of his oriental subjects, and rather
than desert his post, before his task
was finished, he sacrificed the dearest
ambition of his life. In a year and
a half Roosevelt had him in his cab
met as secretary of war-and soon
had him in his eye for the presidency.
Roosevelt had the weakness of his
strength. He thought he was strong
enough to make q president. But
real presidents are born, not made.
The moment Roosevelt was gone,
the standpatters, the reactionary
forces, emerged from their seven and
one-half years in the cyclone cellar.
The moment the political broncho felt
the tenderfOot on it's back, it bucked,
and threw Taft from the seat of leader
ship. The next thing the rank and
file Of Republicans knew, the party
was slipping back into the old rut
from which Roosevelt had jerked it
when first he laid upon 1t his master
full hand.
But the people refused to go back.
Eight months after Taft's Inaugural
ton, the election of 1909 sounded a
clear warning of the disaster that
overwhelmed the party In the congress
