This belief he expressed in a speech
at dinner of the National Institute

he was presented with the gold medal
Of the society for his conduct Of the
foreign affairs of the country.
The first object OF foreign policy is
security and so far as we can see
into the future, we are safe from the

Hughes said.
No Menace on Horizon.
I'VE know that in no power or
possible combination of powers lies
any menace to our security" he con-
tinued. There is no occasion to vim

one challenges it. There is no rea-

most promising way is to preserve

that a recent report by a special com

One indispensable accessory is the
hand bag. It must have bit of sever
ity, touch of flashing color, and a
lot of dash. The hand bag that is best
suited to the tailored suit is the envel
ope-much smaller than the underline
arm ag that we liked SO well with the
heavy winter coat.
One of New York's best shops is
showing them in soft feathers, in
antelope, swede and pinseal They
have several compartments besides
the coin purse and are nicely fitted.
Another store is showing them in
MORE and satin,just little more
dressy and not quite SO tailored. But
the very newest of all are the ones
made Of cut velvet, with hand-painted
venetian designs. They are the last
word in hand bags. Many of the
purses have cords which enables the
wearer to sling it over her arm and
forget all about it.

WHAT THEY ARE WEARING

More fashionable than ever is the
tailored suit, cut along the new boyish
lines. The coats are medium length
some with one button, and others dou-
Bile breasted with three, and some
times four buttons. The skirts are
wrap around and are slightly shorter
than they have been. The colors are
brown, gray, dark blue, and black
with narrow white pin stripe.
When one wears a tailored suit.
one must remember that it calls for
its own particular kind of accessories
and it is just as important to have the
right kind of accessories as it is to
have the right fit to the suit.
