According to present plans President -Roosevelt's tour of the New England states Is to be followed by a tour of the west and the southwest.
This will make the greatest presidential trip In the history of the United States. Carriage rides are to be a distinct feature of the great tour, as
they have been of the New England trip. The president believes in going among the people and does not look with favor upon receptions on the ob
servation car platform of his special train. He will frequently, however, use the latter when the shortness of the stops necessitates it. He made
more than one such speech during his Just closed New England tour. The above snapshots show how the president appears when addressing his
countrymen.
Gas Passed Jflwfiltp
What struck him? Why simply a
word a strange word. That Is why
the small jeweler fainted. He was
standing behind his counter innocently
enough, waiting for the trade he ex
pected prior to fair week: A stranger
entered.
"What will you have?"
"Earrings."
And the jeweler lost consciousness.
It was the first time he had heard the
word in six months.
Boom days for earrings are in full
buoyance In South Africa or other in
terior points, but not In the United
States. Something has happened In
the social world. It was a decree
abominating this little Item of female
decoration.
The decadence of the ornament has
not been rapid. It did not come like a
bullet. It has been gradual. Women
are still wearing them, but they are
growing fewer and fewer. The bobs
themselves are growing smaller and
smaller until now It Is rarely possible
to buy at any Jeweler's one of the old
style drops. The only ones sold now are
the screw bobs. They are tiny bits of
Jewelry which look as If they were
being grafted into the lobe of the ear.
With a diamond sparkling in the cen
ter of It the giddy female jvho Is
somewhat behind the times thinks she
is attracting the admiration of all
spectators.
One or two jewelers who are bulling
the market, perhaps, declare that in
two years the jewel ear decorations
will come back into fashion again.
Why? Oh, because. There Is no spe
cial reason. Things just do come back
Into fashion again after they have had
a rest of a few months or years. Per
haps. Women of experience disagree. They
don't believe the girls of the future
will ever wear earrings again. Whys
and wherefores are'numerous.
It is a rare woman who thinks much
of her ears.
Unless her ears are of exceptionally
good shape and appearance a woman
does not care now-a-days to attract
attention to them. If they are of good
appearance they will draw enough
attention by themselves without the
aid of Jewelry. But It Isn't often
that they are so overpowerlngly at
tractive. See how the women dress
their hair until the ear shows
through only like some small cun
ning creature of distinctive life. They
know that their admirers like the sight
of it this way far better than If it
were ballasted with Jewelry.
Who likes to have a needle rammed
through her ear?
No answer!
There Is another reason for the de
cadence of the bob. Piercing the ear
is a painful process, if not In actual
pangs, at least In anticipation. Wo
men know, if they are In a position to
keep track of social usages, that ear
rings are; In disfavor. Hence they will
not undergo even he pains of antici
pation for the sake of an empty vanity.
Earrings catch in the pillows.
If ever a woman learned the art of
blasphemy it was she who tried to sleep
with her earrings on. No pillow Is
downy enough to make room, and to
spare, for an ear and an earring. Many
a time a woman has awakened her
husband with strange howlings which
he took for nightmare, but which in
reality were due to her trying to turn
with some prong or projection of the
earring caught in the pillow. And the
times are so busy now that no woman
who uses the day for all its possibili
ties of duty and pleasure feels as If
she had the time every evening and
morning to bother at the task of re
moving and replacing her earrings.
And. last of all, society has been
thinking. It has pondered well the
stories of travelers who relate tales
of the Immense rings and bones Afri
can negroes delight to wear hi ears
and nose and lips. Since the habit is
not even strikingly prevalent among
American negroes why shouldn't sup
posedly civilized Anglo-Saxon socitay
be superior?
It Is.
