President belonging to the opposit,
party.
1t is probably one Of the sincerest
of the u~nintentional compliments paic
to President Wilson that they waited
until he was sick before they tried
to kick him, and even then they were
afraid. They had it in their power
to tear the Peace Treaty to pieces,
but they didn't quite dare-it was
Wilson they wanted to tear, but he
was not before them. Dealing with
his work they found themselves as
strangely embarrassed as when they
were dealing with him.
All the world knows that the Pres
ident was right in what he attempt
ed, and if it shall be that he is to
fail, then he will fail in a cause where
any effort is glorious. Those whose
success is his failure will be the ones
whose heads will have cause to be
covered with ashes.
There is every indication that the
President is coming back with old
time force and decisiveness. Let him
lay about him Justify. There are still
many enemies of truth and right, and
a weak arm moved in justice
stronger than their evil might.

In everything that concerns tn,
President, the members of Congress

es to be in a state of nerves. For
years they complained that they could
DO nothing because the President had
taken everything in his own charge;
and when the President was laid aside
they seemed just as incapable of do
ing anything, excusing themselves by
saying they did, not know the precise
extent of the Presidents disablement.
These nerves now exhibit them.

New York. July 2S.-of all the
summers fashion fancies none is
prettier or more practical than the
apron effects. Just a bit of net or
lace or batiste or, more likely, a
combination of all three, and a
plain, dull taffeta frock or a pro-
sale gingham becomes a perfect
duck of gown, cooI-looking
enough for the warmest day or com
fortable-looking for a cool day.
Aprons like the model of the
sketch might be made Of handker-
chief linen or of white georgette
with Cluny insertions and motifs OF
applique lace for the corners. Anoth-
er of colored embroidery on batiste
would be useful, with the scalloped
edge turned up from the waist for
bib, and a broad hemstitched hem
turned up for the bottom with a
satin ribbon for strings.
