Mallon in the March Ladie’s Home Journal. “The suitings in checks show the mixed effect caused by the skillful intermingling of many threads of different colors. They are also in the plain shades of mode, steel blue, silver gray, heliotrope, cadet, and the many other colors that are approved for spring wear. In the smooth cloths the rather bright green known as emerald, a somewhat deep but still a bright blue, reseda, and, of course, black, are noted.

The senate was in recess while the polling was in progress, and only a little more than half an hour’s time was spent in discussing the nomina tions. Most of this time was de voted to the appointment of Mr. Bliss as Secretary of the Interior, which called for attention from Senators Teller and Stewart, who stated that while they had no in tention to make any effort to balk the president in his selection of his cabinet ministers, they still felt constrained to point out the inadvisability of selecting a man who was not a lawyer for a posi tion v/hich requires the exercise of so much legal ability as does the place at the head of the Interior department. Senators Hoar, Chandler and Lodge replied in support of the selection of Mr. Bliss. When the list had been confirm ed in the order of appointment the Senate adjourned until Mon day.
