 When President Harhing called be- fore him certain congressional teRders and presented to them the naeds lil the way of legislation he unquestipla6ly voiced tho sentiment of a large ra1t of the country.

 Before this he has accented need o the ship subsidy. Regardless of it tn, ] seemed good without another prodding But while trying to prevent the side tracking of this measure the opportunit7 was, ripe for inpressing upon congress the need of passing the tariff bill ant the naval appropriation measure Likewise did the president improve the opportunity to let it be known wher he stands on the bonus question. Reas onably certain was it before, but it i reiterated when he tells them to post pone the legislation unless they are pre- pared to provide the money to pay fo it.
 | This was all straight talk to the con gressional leaders. It was with vie7 to early adjournment and an ending ( the detrimental pickering that has bee carried on instead of knuckling down t l business. Having taken this stand it to be hoped that the president will cor tinue to keep 1t before the eyes of COT gress .-sf.s

SMART RIBBON Rows-

Wide ribbon made into loops and ends or tied in very smart bows of good size, is making the trimming for many of the hats shown for i'm mediate wear. Black shapes par ucularly show the preference for the bow trim and models of hair, maline .5raid and, of course, Milan are used Tor this. purpose.
 In using these wide ribbons it is nPticed that the hanging end is still employed, in some cases the ribbon retching almost to the waistline at the side. Many of the large shapes III yoke effect that have the new cut ott back brim, employ the ribbon to Ill n this space with a long soft bow Feacfing far out on each side. In othe1l eases when shape is raised shgnay at the back the ribbon loop or boy may be placed on the under side e4 the brim well toward the back.

PARENTAL DUTIES.

Parents in Brooklyn have organized 8 league for the purpose of insisting upon reforms concerning the dress and con duct Of their children. From this it would appear that the children up to IS had been doing about as they pleased with little or no restraint, that they de- cided what they liked and did it regard less. of the moral or physical danger in- volved.
 The situation has continued until the parents have come to the conclusion that it is time to call a halt and that vigorous regulations supported by an orfanization is needed to accomplish the desired ends.
 This indicates that the parents are aroused, but it likewise indicates that they have been negligent of their par ental duty Had they assumed their proper responsibility in the past and done aaeir duty by their children the situation would not have gotten out of hand Their experience condemns their past. policy They. realize what parental
 Iaxity has resulted in and that firm stand must be taken to overcome the harm.
 Ordinarily a league would not be re quired to deal with such problems but under existing circumstances it may ac- compush reforms the quicker and serve to kee pthem to the front. Parents however, must realize that they cannot afford to depend entirely. upon, the Ieagut

] HOW To MASSAGE

1--PIace the tips of the fingers on the cheek bones near the temples, and the thumbs underneath the jawbone. Then slowly pass the thumbs Upwards round the contour of the face until meeting fingertips. Repeat this move ulent for two minutes
 2.-Place the tips of the fingers at the point of the chin. Then press lightly upwards to the side of the nose. Repeat for two minutes,
 34Tap skin food in gently under the eyes. Do not stretch the skin in any way. Tap until the skin food has become absorbed.
 4.-Plaee the fnger-tips close to the corners of the eyes; and with gentle pressure massage back to the hair on the temples.
 All these manipulations with the fingef-tips are excellent, and in a very short time there will be a marked i'm pfovement in both muscles which form the eontou our-and the texture of the skin, which will regain it's natural beauty. But time. and trouble are half the battle, so a woman, to obtain the best results, must take the time and the trouble.

 In the orient they lay great stress upon the constant and regular prac- tice of deep breathing. The eastern philosophers teach that the mental powers, self control clear vision, happiness and even morals are de- pendent in great measure upon this practice of deep breathing. a
