FANCY OUTFITS

Senator Helm was the first member Of the senate
TO appear in hot weather clothes. He has been in
them for almost a month now. The Prince Albert
Palm Beach coat the double breasted white vest and
cream-colored shoes no longer attract the attention
Of the galleries. They have become as familiar as the
outfit tailored along the same lines that the Ala
baman wears on cooler days.
But NOT so with Senator La Toilette. He appeared
on the floor the other day in a ~two-piece dark gray
suit with a sack coat, a dark blue cravat and black
and white sport shoes.
He looked more the part OF a wealthy young sports
man IL some exclusive resort than one Of the 90 who
help guide the destiny Of a great nation.
Even the press gallery admitted that Young Bob
cut a nice figure in his new clothes.
But these two are not the only ones who qualify
for the ranks Of the sartorially elegant.
Hiram Johnson has a Palm Beach suit with a belt
in the back. His shoes are Immediately white and
his cravat is sky-blue.
Senator McNary is wearing white linen trousers
with a light black coat.
Senator Gilletts shirt Of the lightest shade Of green
is In perfect taste when worn with the t~wo-piece gray
worsted suit.
Jim Watson evidently could not bring himself to
a white linen suit. but he compromised with a light
gray and put on white silk socks and white shoes for
good measure.
Reed Of Pennsylvania, Trammell of Florida, Blaine
Of Wisconsin. Ashurst Of Arizona. King Of Utah. and
Wheeler Of Montana are all respondent in white
linens and white shoes.
Senator Overman of North Carolina probably re-
serves cutaway coats for winter. He now is wearing
a two-piece dark gray suit with a sack coat.
But there are those who still refuse to cast off the
conventional garb. Fess Of Ohio. the two Washes.
Brookhart, Smoot and Dineen look the same. Vice
President Curtis still wears formal morning dress.
EEA FREEDOM
But it is the senate pages who have the common
sense idea of summer clothes.
The familiar blue serge coats have been discarded.
Now 1t is in their shirt sleeves that they dart through
the aisles in answer to the senator's finger snaps.
They are the only ones, however, permitted such
freedom

Washington Letter
BY HERBERT C. PLUMNIER

WASHINGTON, June l0-Now that hot weather
has descended upon Washington it's a toss-up be-
tween Young Bob La Toilette and Tom Helm as to
which more nearly approaches what the well-dressed
United States senator should wear in the way Of sum-
mer clothing.
Opinions vary according to the two schools Of
fashion. Those who subscribe to the theory that a
senator should dress the part are inclined to follow
Helm. Those who believe that a senator should look
no different from the ordinary layman side with La
Toilette
Certainly the two are as far apart In the choice OF
their wardrobe for the summer as two people possibly
could be.

Have you thought about the high
cost of being sick2 We know about
the high cost Of living. We know
about the high cost OF dying. But
in many ways there are few things
more distressing than the high
cost of illness.
1t Is amazing what percentage
Of the population Is spending its
time In the sick bed. The hospitals
Of a great city. for instance Of New
York, are crowded all the time.
1t is not only physical sickness
with which we have to deal. More
hospital beds in the United States
are occupied by mental cases than
by all other sick combined.
i have observed with great inter-
est that a memorial is being plan
ned TO the late Or. Thomas Will
liam Salmon. who was distinguish
ed In the field Of mental hygiene.
AS part OF the campaign II Is being
pointed out how prevalent the men
tai diseases really are. Every clinic
and hospital devoted 10 the dis
eases Of the brain and nervous sys-
TEN are crowded with sufferers.
OF course we hear Of more sick
ness in the cities. But where Is
there a household in the whole OF
North America where there Is not
sickness almost every week. H.
nes Is the cause Of great economic
distress. II saps the savings OF
many a family.
"A national committee on cost OF
medical care has been organized.
The New York City department Of
health has undertaken TO collect
data" from about 400 New York
families who can supply a month
by-month record Of all illnesses
among their members" giving AL
expenses for physicians fees. pre-
scriptions, household remedies.
druggist supplies. hospital expenses
and the like"
We do not need an official re-
port to realize what a burden sick
ness Is. Not alone does II take
a lot Of money but also the dis
turbance Of the routine OF the home
and the anxiety Of heart and mind
cannot be diSregarded.
I have no doubt that as a result
OF this research the facts will be
brought home more vividly than
yer before. / pray that ways and
means can be found to deal with
the immediate problems Of sickness.
But after all II comes back 10
this. does il not? The most SEN
sible plan that can be devised is 20
impress on every single individual
the importance Of health. The
rules Of right living and simple hy.
giene are. in the last anlysis. the
surest remedy. When we can get
every person in the civilized world
to live so sanely that he will avoid
the causes of preventable disease.
then much Of the economic distress
will disappear.

Her heart fluttered when she took
the box. But she was relieved that
II felt heavy. At least there was
plenty to put on. And when she
saw what was inside she was de-
lighted. 1t was a flying costume

her like a glove.
When she stepped into the studio

He was all the artist now, as he
arranged her position, turned her
head this way and that, and sat
down before his easel. She was
looking directly at him, as his white
tapering fingers sketched briskly
over the canvas. How very hand
some he was. He wore a sport shirt
opened at the neck. and his blonde,
wavy hair curled back from a high,
intelligent forehead. He would be a
great catch for some girl.
