ALL RIGHT IN THE FUTURE Proof That Little Dorothy Had Im bibed the Policies Advocated by Her Mother. Dorothy's mother la a suffragetto of advanced type. Dorothy Is a dear little girl In a primary grado, but somewhat inclined to copy her eiders. One day her teacher received a note from the secretary of the school board, but waited until after class to read It. Dorothy returned for some books and caught tears In tho teach er's eyes (tho latter had been denied nn Increase In salary upon -which she had based largo hopes), and said: , "Why aro you crying?" Tho teacher laughed and said, "Tho naughty old school board isn't nice to me!" Dorothy took hold of tho teacher's hand with both .Iters and said very seriously, "Don't you cry any more. When wo get tho vote wo women will correct such things!" Tho Sunday Magazine. Principle. Mr. Given Do you believe finding Is keeping? Weary Willie Not in tho case of work, mum. Sure Preventive.

"Then it Is already supplied with a good trouble scenter." It is a sad thought, but true, that mother's little lamb may grow up and have a foul tongue. SATISFIED AS THEY WERE Couples, Victims of Curate's Mistake, Decided That They Would Let the Thing Go. A vicar of a certain English parUh was sitting In his study one morning when In burst the verger In. a great stato of excitement. "Mr. ," mentioning the curate's name, "wants you at onco, sir," ho ex claimed, "lie haH married two couples and married the two men to tho wrong women, and ho does not know what to do." "Havo they signed the register?" In quired tho clergyman. "No." was tho verger's response. Then they can bo married again," said tho vicar. "Tell Mr. I will bo at the church In a minute or two to perform tho ceremony." In duo courso tho Incumbent mado his way to tho church and found the parties gathered at tho eutranco. Bd fore ho could say anything ono of the bridegrooms approached and said: "Wo have been talking It over, sir, and wo have mado up our minds to re main as wo aro." And they did so. When Like Meets Like. Tho caller at the teller's window was very bald, but tho teller lnsldo had him beaten by a hair's breadth. There was still a straggling frlngo around the outer border of tho caller's head, while the teller's had long reached tho stage when ho brushed his head with a towel. Tho caller had evidently Imbibed rather freely that day. lie took a long look at the teller, smiled ti btnlrklng, quizzical smile, then reached into his vest pocket and extracted a fat cigar. "Shey, old feller," ho mumbled, thrusting tho cigar between tho win dow bars, "have one on me. Anybody that's as baldhcaded as you deserves a treat!" A Misreading. Dr. Fritz Metzler of the University of Heidelberg said to a heckler in tho courso of a neutrality lecture In Den ver: "My good friend, you misread mo. Purposely you. misread mo, my good friend. You are aB bad as tho wife who was disgruntled. "To this wifo who wa3 disgruntled a young bride said, over their afternoon coffee and coffee cakes: " 'I am so sad. Gustavo Is away on a business trip. This is tho first time since our marriage that I bave been left alone.' " 'Oh, well, don't worry,' sneered tho other, 'it won't be the last.' " New System. "When you get out of this peniten tiary," said tho warden, "you'll bo ablo to earn your own living and look tho world In tho face." "I hope so," answered tho prisoner. "But I Avaut you to promise mo ono thing." "What Is It?" "There's a lot of these people who don't want to seo mo get along. Don't you let them put up any schemes to get mo fired out of here beforo my term is completed." Open Game. "Let mo mako the songs of a nation and I care not who makes Its laws." , "Well, have a try.

The White House collection of presidential waro received a valuable addition when Miss Mary Curtis Leo, daughter or Gen, Robert E. Leo, contributed to the collection a plato of tho Georgo Washington Cin cinnati dinner sot. in many respects this is tho mo3t valuable ploco In tho collection, as tho Cincinnati china has moro historical associations and Is hotter known than any of tho Wash ington china. Tho Society of tho Cincinnati was founded at Annapolis November 21, 178U, by tho American nnd French ofncerB who had served together dur ing tho Revolutionary war, and Wash ington was mado Ub first president. Tfin nrrrnnlntlnn ninnf ml n- InelmTtn ol an caglo in gold suspended by an ollvo branch from a deep bluo ribbon edged with white, nnd on tho breast and back of tho caglo were Bymbollc scenes encircled with patriotic mottoes In Latin. After the society was established tho French ofllcors presented Washing ton wilh n handsome Inolgnla studded with precious stones nnd tho ribbon boro the words, "Presented in the name of tho French soldiers to his excol lency, Gpnoral Washington." It was this which Losalng confused when ho wroto In his "Mount Vernon" that tho French olllcora presented Washing ton with a ScvrcB dinner Bet bearing tho Cincinnati decorations. A glance at any piece of tho Cincinnati sot shows that It Is not china at all, but Cantoucso pottesy, and It la a well-founded family tradition with tho Wash ington nnd Curtis descendants that tho Cincinnati dishes, of which there wore originally breakfast, dinner and tea sets, wero presented to General and Mrs, Washington by tho American officers. Soon after Miss Leo came to Washington this winter tho subject was broached to her again, and as Bhe chanced to havo ono of tho plates out of storage sho decided to present it to tho collection. It Is a medium-sized din nor plate, with the deep bluo mottled border and gold lines of tho Cantonoso waro, and In Its center is tho flguro of Famo holding a trumpet to her Hps with ono hand, while with tho other she bears aloft tho insignia of tho Society of Cincinnati. During a call upon Miss Wilson at tho White Houso Miss Leo presented tho pinto to her for tho collection, and it was placed In tho cabinets In the lower corridor of the mansion. 6. "Life Buoy" Prevents Loss of Gold on Warships WITH American cruisers in foreign waters taking gold for tho uso of American citizens, and with the recent return of General Funston from Vera Cruz to Galveston with approximately $1,000,000 jn gold aboard the trans port there Iiob arisen considerable in terest In tho navy's method of han dling gold and of safeguarding it so that It may uot be lost. Gold, or other specie, but usually gold, on shipboard, for the reason that it is current tho world over, is stored In bags of such stout muterial that should a heavy bagful be dropped from considerable height the bag would not split open. Tho bag, of course, Is locked and the material of which It Is made must Btnnd tho most rigid tests, ho thero can bo no danger of tho loss of tho precious Btuff should a bag bo dropped from the side of a vessel to a pier or dock. Another possibility of loss Is presented in tho danger of a small boat being overturned during n heavy sea while transshipping the metal from shipboard to land or land to ship. This contingency also Is guarded against. To each of tho bags used for the transporting of gold Is attached by n long chain a lloatlng buoy large enough to support tho maximum capacity In gold of the bag to which it is attached. Thus, if a launch taking ashore a consignment of gold should bo capsized or sunk, tho gold would not bo lost. If tho water bo very deep it will not ovon go to the bottom, but will hang suspended to tho length or tho chain attached -to the buoy. Thus, tho only way the gold taken aboard by the Tennessee could havo been lost would have been in the sinking of the ship. He Understands the Feelings of the' Turks Now i A WORLD-FAMED sculptor, who makes Ms homo here now, held up his hands appalled tho other day by tho magnitude of tho roclal activities of (he womankind of Washington. "Overwhelming! Exhausting! How do you manago H7 he cried. "Every good 'oVERWHaMlrlc! CiJexhaustihc! P HOW CAN M THEY MANACE fcl I ,T O Turk, tho sculptor laughed, "goes' down on his knees, on his prayer rug, tho first thing every morning and thanks God that ho Is not a woman. When I seo you women wearing your bcIvcs out In this social strain, I un derstand the feelings of the Turk." So, "Slstor Susie's sowing Bklrts for soldiers," nnd Nettle's knitting knickknncks, only in the Interstices, if there ever are any, in tho social nierry-go-roUnd, while "papa pastes his pants with pins," because the womunfolks aro so rushed. You call avidly on army and navy women on Monday and on the judiciary. You call on the representatives on Tuesday, on Mrs. Marshall, who Is a class to her self, on tho wife of the speaker of the house and on tho cabinet women on Wednesday. The senatorial sisterhood pre-empts the business on Thursday afternoon. Friday and Saturday In days gone by were wont to bo monopo lized by diplomatic dames and damsels. But the "dips," these parlous times, are "layln low and sayln' nuthln'." Defense Wins in Congress Self, Not National CONGRESS? has so tukon to heart the subject of defense, national and othor wiro, that W. K. Slxsmlth says ho, Representative W. W. Rucker nnd other prominent members of the house, got the consent of Speaker Champ Clark to start a congressional training school. Theso representa tives, it is said, feel they aro develop ing their mental powers to the detri ment of physical prowess and bellevo punching the bag or medicine ball practice will remove pudglness and restore the athletic contours of years ago. According to Mr. Slxsmlth, ar rangements havo been mado to devoto a room In tho capltol to athletic exor cises. If a member gets tired of mak ing points of order he may retire to tho athletic quarters and punch tho bag or get Ms torpid circulation in activity by a few whirls about on the flying rings. Statesmen whoso digestion Is Imperfect may spend a half hour on tho parallel bars and develop an excellent appetite With stll' other statesmen busy with the chest weights, or the Indian clubs, or tho statlor.nry horso, It is conjectured that thero will bo Buch a spectaclo as even "DIUy" Mul doon never dreamed of, Tourist's Coat in Shepherd's Check i i h-t- llitu mm - FEW coats aro as graceful as tho loose-hanging shepherd's cheek, shown here cut with a modornto tlaro and wldo capcliho Bleoves. It Is so roomy that It may be worn over n tailored suit, but so well adjusted about tho shoulders nnd so excellent In its lines that thero la nothing cum bersome nbout it. About nlnq out of ten coatB of mod oratoly heavy woolen fabrics fall when it comes to being graceful. Such coata must bo cut on simple lines, othorwlse they cannot possibly bo "smart." Tho fault usually Ilea "in breaking up tho design with decora tlvo features added tor tho sako of novelty. In tho coat pictured hero tho desired novelty is achiovod in tho shape of tho sleeves, tho fluro of tho skirts, and In tho introduction of o cross-bar pattern In the 3amo fnbrlo as tho coat for on inlay in tho collar and rovers and na a border for the sleeves. This Inlay Is shown in black with whlto bars. In bright green nnd In leather color. Tho collar is cut so that it may bo brought up close about tho neck, and, whtlo tho coat la not designed for cold weather, It haB plenty of warmth to fortify ono against tho keen breeze of tho sea or tho morning chill of the mountain country and the "northor" that penetrates to southern climes. Such u coat Is destined to outllvo a single season; it is bo sanely fash ioned that it may bo relied upon to outlast the caprices of stylo for a year or so.

There uro tho Victorian colffuros.and that vory youth ful nnd original arrangement of tho hair called tho "Bobby." Then thero aro tho coiffures in which tho hair 1b uncurled, combed back plainly nnd ar ranged In a long soft purt on top of tho head and extending down over tho middle of tho forehead. This Is only good on youthful wcarors. Nearly nil tho now, colffurcB show tho hair waved and curled and follow ing the contour of tho head closely. They rely upon short curls moro than DECORATIONS IN THE HOME Especial Feature of the Moment Is the Lavleh Use That la Being Made of Lace, Lace aBsumeB moro and moro tho important place In the domain of homo furnishing. It la bo important that upholsterers havo to employ lacomnk era and aro obliged to mako laco pur chases on a considerable scale. Among other things, pianos and win dows are draped with lace, leaving room for legitimate upholstery to come afterward. All styles aro available Tho "renaissance" combines with laco of quite modern origin, And, combin ing with nil and second to nono in fashion or effect, is tho old-fashioned crochet. Tho preront tato for crochet denotes a remarkable revival in this kind of thing. Another revival besides it, and mak ing common causo with houso nnd especially drawing-room decoration, upon any other ono feature, unless II bo ornamental combs, for their elab oration. These two are introduced' in many positions. Hut exceptions which suit tho stylo and features of tho individual aro al waya commendnble. Tho pretty coif furo shown In tho picture la arranged in rather boyish lines about tho face, with long aldo part and no curls. It Is wholly redeemed from this masculine touch by tho Psycho knot at tho back. Ono" cannot bellevo that any other Btylo would bo quite so becoming to this particular face, and this Is the conviction which makes any coiffure BuccesBful. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. Is tho equally old-fashioned netting. For long years past this species of handwork has been left almost ex clusively to fishermen and their wives. It served for fishing nets nnd that was about nil. Hut now It Is coining back aa fast as it can to the plnco It occupIedt lot us say, a hundred years ago, In tho repertoire of fancy work for women, Then was tho time when dainty sllppor-cased feet wore put forward and used in tho service of tho kind of fnncy work known as knitting. Now mnchinory does a groat deal of the work which human Angora aided by tho foot used to do. Hut whether wrought by fingers or machinery, it remains n fact that old fashlonod netting Ib a distinct revival and that Ub presence In drawing rooraa throws an air of fashion around them. Tho effect of embroidery upon It are now moro artistic than of yoro, na ture as well aa pictures often serving as models.
