The WeU-DreSSed Man #h By BEAUNASH Correct Clothes To Meet The Obligation of EDery OccGson
Sports Of All Sorts

nARKSOME at their best and dis. nal at their worst, mems clothes have need of every touch of color that can be borrowed to give them spirit and sparkle. As town dress is traditionally suited and stodgy, it il the sporting kit to which one must turn for the vivid and picturesque. In the open the gayest of colors do not look amiss. The blue of the sky, the green of the turf, the purple of the hills and the crimson and orange of the sun- set form the true background for those brilliant colors which have latterly vaulted into vogue.
 The pursuit of the sport bespeaks youth and sunshine and "Up-With-the- Lark!" and "Glad-P Pm-Al w This is reflected in the dress fthe modern sportsman; in his light suits, checker board stockings; blazer-striped belts ; strikingly striped sweater jacket ; bright-hued scarfs and caps showing the boldest of plaids which, a few years ago, would have been laughed off the links.
 When sport was in it's knickerbock- CTS in this country we gave but casual notice to the details of ou rfield turn out. Any old thing, or even anything old, would serve. Today one finds sportsmen paying the most circumstan- tial heed to their suits, boots and hats, differentiating punctitiously between this and that purpose and pastime.
 The sketch pictures some of the smarter details of current sporting dress, including the correctly propor- tioned cap; the long-pointed soft-col- lar; the spotted foulard scarf and the outline fthe V-neck sweater, often striped in color gayly contrasting from the ground. To be sure, a soft straw, such as the Panama or Leghorn, or one of the new light-colored featherweight felt hats may be substituted for the cap. .,

A siphon of charged water is an excellent fire extinguisher, as the carbonic acid gas in the water helps to stifle the flames. The siphon can be tilted, and the fluid will carry to a considerable height, such as the top of a blazing curtain.
 Embroidered muslin dresses should be ironed on the wrong side to raise the pattern. Dotted muslin should also be ironed on the wrong side, unless the dots are rather far apart, when it may look better ironed first on the right side to give the muslin A gloss. and afterwards ironed over on the wrong side to press out the dots. In ironing colored muslins do not use the iron too hot, as too much heat is apt to destroy the color. The pressure of the iron must be even, and the iron lifted as little as .possi- ble, The material must be ironed till perfectly dry, and then aired, CT it will become limp. Muslin trimmed with lace should have the lace lroned first, and then the muslin itself. If the muslin feels too stiff after ironing the fault can be remedied by putting it through water and then ironing again.

Washington. Nov. 26.-0fficial
Washington has thrown off the
lethargy of the summer Con-
gressional recess as a majority OF
the legislators have returned to
their posts. Everything is in
readiness for the opening of the
session of Congress next Monday.
Those who successfully defended
their jobs at the election are
striving for party honors from
committees and others who were
defeated are putting their af-
fairs in shape for retirement
from public life.
The most interesting spectacle
is afforded in the bartering
among members of the House and
Senate for jobs on important
committees. Inasmuch as the
real business of Congress is trans
acted in committee rooms, a le-
gislator's worth is measured by
his committee assignments. One
of the most powerful and hard
pressed groups of men in the ma
tional legislature is the Commit
tee on Committees. which has to
do with assignment of members
to various committees.
There is a noticeable change on
the part of returning congress
