Highland Park, Ky.

The weather is bad here. The
streets were all covered with ice.
We we're glad to read a letter
from Sparksville and sure appre-
ciate the words that the reporter
past on me.
We are glad to note that po-
lice Murphy is doing his duty,
and is liked by all the people
here. The policemen have much
better time than they use to
when whisky was plentiful. 1t
seems more like a town now, to
see the little boys and girls that
use to be in rags and dirt, when
their father would take the
money and buy 1t IN whisky,
now buys it in clothes and some
thing to eat, and your scribe
hopes it stays this way.
Work is plentiful here and
high prices too, but anyone
ought to save money, for they
get good prices for their work.
We hope to see another letter
from Sparksville and also from
Weed.

Highland Park is a fine place to

Relations Committee, which
they packed last spring to
make sure that its report and de-
termination with regard to the
treaty should be in accord with
the msjority's plans and pur-
poses.
In the hope of escaping their
duty the Republican leaders in
the Senate are pretending now
to hesitate lest the msjority's
mode of ratification may fail of
executive approval. This atti-
tude might win more credence if
it were not that these same lead
ers a few months ago made it a
matter of boast that they cared
nothing for the Presidents
views except to criticize and re-
ject them.
The demand for the ratifca-
ton Of the treaty has not only
not abated but has grown stead
lily more general and insistent.
The acceptance of the treaty by
the former associates of the
United States in the war and
the resumption of diplomatic
and commercial relations be-
tween those nations and Ger.
many has left this country the
only power at war with her.
There can be no return to nor
NAL conditions political, econom-
ic or fnancial-in this country
until peace has been re-estab-
lished in form as well as in sub
stance.
1t is the function and the duty
of the Senate to bring about
peace. 1t is the responsibility of
the majority of the Senate to
undertake the task. Playing
politics has been a costly game
for every interest of the nation.
1t promises to be equally costly
for the Republican majority
which has thus far used its pre-
dominance in the Senate not to
promote but to jeopardize the
honor and welfare of the Unit
ed States.

WHERE RESPONSIBILITY RESTS.

Whatever differences of opin-
ion there may be as to the form
In which the treaty of peace
with Germany should be ratified,
there is no question at all that
!. the responsibility for affirmative,
decisive action belongs to the
United States Senate. The Re-
pubIicans in that branch of Con-
gress are bound to the extent of
their control to take the initia-
tive and restore the treaty to
the category of subjects upon
which the Senate is expected to
act. They have subjects upon
which the Senate is expected tc
Get. They have at their com
nand all the machinery of the

JET OF NOW AND YEARS AGO
Trimming Decidedly Popular and
Found in Many of the Most
Interesting Gowns.

Jet is especially in evidence on the
little evening caps that they began TO
wear last winter and that are still con-
sidered new enough to be very smart.
They consist Of bands of jet with per-
hapS Il taSsel or other pendant over
the side. Sometimes there are two that
hang down resembling two great ear
rings, but in reality they age attached
to the bands of the %headdress. Then
jet trimming is to be found in many
Of the most interesting gowns. 1t is
positively barbaric at times, and for
the young girl, who wants TO look Ian
gerous, the young girl who always ire
mendOusly admireS the vampire in the
play, there is nothing so effective rs
a jet trimmed velvet gown. 1t is I'M
derstood, of course, that the black part
should be Of tulle or lace or something
transparent and that there should be
sufficient opportunity TO see the CLEAN
or through the back.
The present role of jet is rather
splendid, surely alluring and perhaps
Just a little barbaric. Could anything
be more different from the jet of your
childhood?
You remember jet of those days, do
you not? 1t was a prim and proper
adornment then. There was that es-
Unable great-aunt of yours. Fol- years
she possessed and relied on a jet yoke
| and trimming bands Of jet. They We're
we'll made and expensive to begin with.
| and oh, how careful she was that none
of the precious black beads should be
lost. They adorned her best" black
| silk frock. 1t was of peau de cygrle.
or something quite as substantial.
| Sometimes the frOck was all ripped
up. the jet carefully removed, while
the silk was renovated by being spong-
ed In beer-then the frock was put
together again inside out, and the
precious jet trimming securely put
back. Sometimes there were little eX-
| ira bits Of jet to give a little festive
touch.

FASHIONS IN BRIEF

1t is fashionable to have glove and
bag to match and TO fringe both.
White chalk beads are particularly
attractive on pink geOrgette.
The smaller the quantity Of en-
broidery on Il gown the richer it must
be.
Morning dresses of printed Japanese
crepe are an interesting fashion devel-
Opment.
Among the new weaves is crepe
gabardine, which promises to have as
great a vogue as charmeuse. One side
is like an ordinary heavy Chinal crepe,
the other Is a fine g%abardine weave.
Coats and skirts made of rubber
faced satin are particularly chic. The
satin il used on the outside, and the
soft rubber surface, which looks like
finest kid, is turned back or used for
Swapping or lapels.
