CABINET MAKING

II1ORD comes from Washington that Sen
w ator Harding let it be known before the
election that IL he were successful he would
like TO have in his cabinet Elihu Root OF
New York: Governor Lowden, of Illinois ;
Herbert Hoover. Of California, and Judge
Sutherland, of Utah.
The points In this discussion which de-
serve attention at the present time are the
richness of the Republican party In men
amply qualified for cabinet otice and the
definite belief that men OF the highest type
will be found willing to serve with Senator
Harding In the conduct of the executive
business Both of these are important. We
have had for the last seven years and half
a cabinet composed of men chosen because
their minds would go along with the mind
OF the President.
Senator Harding will find himself embar-
rassed by the richness OF his party In men
OF high ability and political training. The
public can await the announcement Of his
selections with confidence that he will call
TO his assistance the best available.

CLOTHES AND MORALITY

H,UT, tut, DR.. Eliot; don't you know that
i the customs of the new generation are
always attacked by the members of the gen
Grafton that is passing?
You are more than eighty years old.
When you say that the costumes worn by
the women of Boston today would have been
mt down as indecent by the mothers of the
pnst generation, have you forgotten that de.
cency In costume is really more q matter Of
convention than morals?
Women wore hoopskirts in the Civil War
period. and they were careful to have the
garments beneath elaborately embroidered
and ruffied because they knew that when
they entered a carriage or went up stairs
those garments would be exposed. Yet when
tho hoopskirts went out the women who first
wore clinging garments were denounced as
brazen hussies.
There was a great hulabaloo thirty years
AGO when women began to ride bicycles and
II became manifest TO the most casual OBJ
server that they were bipeds. Some prudes
were shocked, but the daughters Of the
women who rode wheel are now wearing
