(From a Staff Correspondent)
WASHINGTON. Dec. I.
(Special Grapevine.)! hav
Just com from a moat Im
portant conference of Wash
ington correpondenta- The
action taken by the associa
tion was most momentous, and
entirely unprecedented.
It was decided that the
president snouid be allowed
to write hia on meseage.
This course has never been
pursued before. In days gone
by the correspondents have
invariably exercised the, right
to dictate to the president
what topic he should treat
of, and how he ahould handle
them. It ha frequently
proven alt that the executive
could accomplish to keep up
with the demand of the asso
ciation. President Taft la to b .per
mitted to pursue his own
co.irse. unhampered by sus
trestions from any one outside
his own official family.
The reason for deciding on
tills action was that the corre
epondent are Just as eatrer
as the country to find out
exactly what the president
thinks of the fiecple's course
at the November election.
- It la reported here that a
conference of lame ducks will
be held between now and
Monday, and plana will t-e

"An usher ran seat a man In the wrong

and make the first ruan get up without

a Toronto Judge so decided. That doen't
go here, doea It?"
'No. and neither doea the man. unless
he go- to the box office to box I mean
kick." replied the Tired Business Man.
'It's hard to uproot a man who Is In a sit
ting position, for that position Is nine points
of the law. Hence, when he In pried out of
the seat where he I neatly wedfrr-d. if he I
a larre man, and the usher la small, there
often follow another Fall of the House of

"There I nothing that Joy me mor than

about 100 people, while a band of sturdy
patriots, ronsllsting of an usher and a man

eats are on the aisle, but when the usher
has to lean over about four Innocent by

excessive. And did you ever see a seat

'If he rises at all. It Is with many a low

rightfully entitled to the seats retire grace
fully to some other seat Just as good, only
twenty rows back? Not he. And I don't
blame them, for It Is an embarrassing mat

the usher completing tha triangle upon

Plain Pictures
Simplicity la a marked feature of the
newest style in picture frames. And bur
nished gold and mahogany are the newest
color for frames. Th former 1 a dull
gold, and I so dull that It and mahogany
blend beautifully and o ar often used to
gether. Th effect of such combination Is so en
tirely different from the old styl of fram
ing with wood and a strip of gilt next the
glass that it Is difficult to believe that the
same colors are Just carried out In the
new tones. These shades used together
bring out brown pictures effectively.
An authority of art furnishing is re
sponsible for the Information that the gold
alone, the . wood alone, end the two tn
combination, may be used to successfully
frame all kinds of pictures that are gen
erally hung on walls of living rooms, par
lor, libraries and bedrooms.
Narrow frames, from one to two Inches,
ar correct for medium sited pictures, while
for smaller subjects, such as photographs,
only a half Inch frame Is required. The
latter are usually of dark wood, beauti
fully polished to show the grain of the
wood. This, of course, adds to the beauty
of the picture as well as to the attractive
ness of the frame.
Both oval and square frame ar correct
The latter are more expensive, because
more difficult to make and polish.

MackUn, who used to lecture on "Aids
to Memory," claimed that with hi system
ha could repeat any paragraph of moder
ate length after once reading. Foot, the
comedian, who was present at one of the
lectures, wrote a nonsensical paragraph,
which b challenged MackUn to repeat
after on or more perusals. The para
graph ran as follows:
"So h went into the garden to cut a
cabbage leaf to make an apple pie, and
at the same moment a great she bear,
coming up the street, popped Its read Into
the shop. 'What! no soap? Bo she died,
and she very prudently married the bar
ber, and there was present the Jobllles,
the Gsyrulles, the Picalllles, and the grand
panjandrum himself, with the Uttle round
button on the top; and they all played the
game of catch-as-catch-can until ths gun
powder ran out of the heels of their
boots."
Macklln declined the challenge.

An oval frame to hold an medium aiied
photograph, or a small picture, will cost
$2.50. The same thing In a square model
can be bought for tl less.
Wooden frame are flat and plain, except
In a few cases, when a Uttle carving Is seen
as a motif placed In th center of the top
of a square frame. The plain frames area
however, considered better taste.
Gold frames are exceedingly dainty In de
sign, small delicate moulding being pre
ferred to bold pattern. Indeed, some of
the frames give the Impression of being;
worked with the needle and gold thread
used generously, rather than moulding.
The copperiah looking gold oombtned
with reddish orange tints In the polished
wood makes an artistic frame when used
in the right proportions that Is widths.
And the best effects are obtained by using
a wider width of the gold than of the wood.
Of course, much depends upon the picture
to be framed, and because the variety of
pictures is so Immense any definite rule 1
difficult. A the artist with whom I was
speaking remarked, "I must see the picture
before I recommend a frame, and often
additional information must be furnished
(supposing the shopper prefer her own
choice to mine) aa to the detail of wall
paper, the color and style of furnishing,
etc. A woman cannot however, go very
far wrong by choosing the present popular
styles In frames." ELIZABETH LEE.

had another row,
It's understood that Mrs. Rich haa left her
husband now.
Of all the children In the town th wort
behxved are Brown's,
But all they ever get by way of punish
ment la frowns.
If they belonged to any other member you
can bet
A warning with a slipper they would very
quickly get.
Now who do you think May Watson saw
downturn with Walter Pa(e?
That bleached blonde Grace Mcpherson,

That she Is old nougb to be hi mother,
and It' said
She has had a husband onoe who may or
