signer might have left off here and
still have presented a pretty and cred
liable hat to the season; but a facing
of fine black chantilly lace, falling
away about the edge of the under
brim gives this particular model an
individual and distinctive touch, i'm
mensely becoming and full of class.
At the left of the group a represent
alive of Paris holds its charming
own, in a leghOrn shape covered with
rose petals made Of organdie. 1t has
a black velvet band about the crown,
terminating in a bow. One can mag
inc it In white or In any pale tint and
picture a thing of beauty to the mind.
In the hat at the right lace hair

different color. For trimming it has
band and rOsette of narrow black
velvet ribbon, the rOsette resembling
blossom. 1t is centered with Il Jet

tipped with jet bead. There are two
hanging ends of velvet ribbon, at the
end of each a little Jet ornament. A

this handsome decoration of velvet

NTOW that it is a settled fact that
~ one piece dresses for fall share
popularity with suits, for general and
street wear, it is agreeable to find that
the new models on display are very
trim and neat looking. There Is a
vogue for intensely feminine styles,
ana this promotes the liking for
frocks to take the place Of suits on
the street and elsewhere. Suits them
selves are rarely built on severe lines,
although there is never a time when
plain suit, beautifully tailored, need
make any excuse for itself, it is al
ways good. But the fall season
promises variety of styles and orna-
mentation in frocks that are of sub
stantiaI materials and destined to do
much service.
All these circumstances pave the
way for such smart examples of the
one-piece frock as that shown above.
They are made, as suits are, of depend
able wool fabrics in dark cOlOrs-
serge, twill, hrOadclOth, duvetyn
and the like, and a little study Of

these models will impress some new
style points on the mind. In the frock
which is shown above, a decoration
on the skirt, of braid, stimulating
neat looking embroidery, is new
departure. The longer waistline is an
important item as is also the
wide satin grdle with half-length
sash fashioned with long fringe
at the end. Embroidery, like that
on he skirt, emphasizes the Jacket
effect in the bodice and defines
the cuffs on the three-quarter length
sleeves. There is plain narrow
vestee Of duvetyn, with little round
buttons set in a row, which may be in
vivid or quiet color, or there may
be two or three vestees furnished for
one dress, so that one may change to
suit occasions. This is a dashing lit
tie froCk with decided Spanish fla
vor, that may be carried out in the
hat worn with it. There is q mere
suggestion Of it in the small headpiece
with upturned brim that has been
chosen and shown in the photograph.

taking an eatonic tablet about half
an hour before you eat and one or

of wonderful benefit. Eatonic sim

of the famous United States Military
academy have come to the front, In
Guiding Secretary of War Baker, VINO
has sent an official communication to
congress.
In the great stained glass window
above the altar which the cadets face
when they march to prayer at West
Point shine three words: DUTY:
Honor: Country" In that place words
are not the mere emblems Of an exalt-
ed sentiment. They are the basis OF
the code by which lives of these men
are shaped.
In short, the best part of the instruc-
ton at West Point is not taught from
books. 1t is character building, de-
mocracy, duty, honor, self-reliance. 1t
is training man to stand on his
feet. "In those things says the West
Pointer, I'VE may have peer. but we
have not a superior on earth.

West Point does not lack. We teach
no fsms'; no socialism, no sovietism.

Deadlock of Congress Over Free Seeds"

TN THE, deadlock between senate and
i house over the agricultural appro-
priations bill one of the items--if not
the chief item-was that for $239,416
for congressional seed distribution"
Generally speaking, the senate was de-
termined to abolish this Old-time ap-
preparation and the house was deter
mined to retain it. Yet there were
many senator's for the seeds" and
many representatives against them.
Days and days were spent in debate
on the subject. OF course, many GU
rious things were said. Here are a
few picked at random from the in
terminable debate:
Senator GroIna, North Dakota
am quite sure that no senator will
contend that a package of SEED can
be sent through the mails for less than
one cent, and it costs for transpOrta-
ton alone S10,0OO,O00 and more.
Representative Langley, Kentucky
My observation has been that the men
who talk the loudest and protest the
most against the distribution of gar
den seeds are the stingiest men in this
house.

Historical Significance of the Year 1920

by free men, of fawful age, and of full
understanding.
And while these irst Americans
were instituting self-government on
the American continent little group
of English humble folk who during a

they had fled from Britain to be free
to worship God in the manner OF
which their conscience approved, was
already making ready to go to Amer
lea and establish in the new world
home of religious freedom.
BY one of those strange condolences
which sometimes seem to set aside
certain days and endow them with ira
ditional significance, July 80 and Mo-
vember IL take on such an endowment,
for July 80 joins Cavalier and Pilgrim
together as twin sources Of that high
inspiration which met in the conven-
ton of the great Constitution, and No

day of the Mayfiower compact the sec
