rIVomans Clothes | Only Beautiful as a Faint Expression of the I rri ?- r .- * f u/curer A" loveliness ] i ^ Sjr Lizette Shiels SHE Reverend Father Sullivan, the Jesuit professor of philosophy at St. Louis has a philosophy about modern women and their dress that is not even skin deep. "They like to be admired," he is quoted as saying, "not for what is in them, but for what is on them." But does not the admiration all depend on who is in the clothes? It is the woman, lovely woman, that lends beauty to the dress rather than the dress to the woman. Dress is not the ornament of woman; it merely indicates and symbolizes her loveliness, which the Creator exhibits to men as the most perfect image on earth of heavenly loveliness. uioines may make the man; they do not make the woman. Every day we may see highly dressed women whom no inspiration of sartorial genius can make lovely. On the contrary, woman does make the clothes admirable. "When you see a pretty dress on a wax figure you admire the skill of the artist, but when you see it on a pretty woman its beauty is increased a thousandfold. You admire the dress, you delight in its beauty, but you delight chiefly in the woman whose beauty it clothes. The reverend father then is greatly mistaken if he imagines that a woman rejoice-s because her dress is admired; she rejoices because her own beauty has found a feeble expression and won a faint recognition. I dare to submit and cheerfully impart these reflections to the learned professor of philosophy in the hope that his young philosophers may learn the true philosophy of woman's dress, and 1 leave to more competent hands to ?eal with the deeper problems' of how much woman likes to be admired for what is in her. ^ JZ? & ^ Frivolous Wives | vs. Club Comforts i | By Eert Green J FEEL that woman is wholly at fault.

What is more sacred and beautiful than a woman living in harmony with her nature, caring for her "castle." her offspring and her husband? This alone is happiness, and she finds her husband devoted to her, as this manner of living cannot help but draw him closer to her as the years roll by. Nine out of ten men would rather be a benedict than a bachelor, but they cannot afford to take the chance. All we see is the young, frivolous, coy, vain and cunning woman who does her best to conceal her true self. I do not mean that all women are alike, but am speaking of what a business man sees on his way to and from his business. Would a man of refinement choose for his wife a flighty, frivolous girl, who thinks of nothing but dances, theatres, puffs, dress and the craze for style? Not if he is sober. The man of today in large cities does not crave woman's society in matrimony for two reasons: First, the odds are against him. He is not going to take the chance on marrying a bundle of pads or an "artificial woman." He wants a sound, common-sense girl of good breeding and character and one that can rear his children in a good maternal way. Secondly, there are many social functions that a man attends, such as dubs, etc., which make him look upon women with indifference.

HERE are in the United States 80,COO,000 acres of swamp Tland which can be drained and which will be as arable as a garden when they are drained. This swamp land would provide homes for and support 10,000.000 people. There are in the United States millions upon millions of arid and s<=mlV. J arid lands which irrigation could make and is making very fertile. These lands will support 15,000,000 households, or JJ twice the population of New York state. There are what may De called the L<ost Lands; lands lost to the public through fraud; lands lost to the public through lack of knowledge of how to handle their peculiar formation. Only twenty percent of Uncle Sam's lands are yielding living averages. What of the rest? Conservation says that every acre, every foot of every acre, must be made productive of something. If you can't grow crops, grow trees! If you can't drain swamps, grow cranberries and matting reeds! If you can't irrigate, then practise dry farming! If you can't farm rocks, then harness their cataracts into water power! As to the lands lost to the public through fraud. Conservation says: "Take them back for the public, or charge their full price for the public." And you are still only at the beginning of Conservation's big program. For every ton of coal mined, a ton and half is wasted; or, to put it differently, for every four tons mined, six tons are wasted. In the petroleum fields, enough natural gas goes to waste to light every city in the United States free of cost.

In the meantime, however, he urged the amendment to the interstate commerce laws to make their provisions more effective. Mr. Taft added, however, that he did not favor radical legislation; that his purpose merely was to keep railroad cc-apanies within the hounds of law and down to reasonable rates. He said the railroads should be encouraged. In this connection he took occasion to refer to the fact that in some localities there is a disposition to do injustice to the railroads and to drive the corporations to a system of economy, which prevents the development NATIONAL CONVENTION FO Columbia, S.
