Madame; Spectator's Observations

BY CATHERINE ALLMAN.

Dwellers of the effete East are the objects of profound pity for Western folk When every other commendation fails, the Westerner always has the climate to boom. Friends of mine who have never been west of the Missisippi nor north of Mason and Dixon's line suddenly made up their minds to exchange the land of cotton for the "woolly" West, and one summer's day they set off on their trip to Montana. Glowing reports came home, high altitudes, rarified air, great country; and then winter came along about the last of August But their enthusiasm could not be frostbitten nor blown away. "Dear Mother," wrote the son, who is a bit of a humorist: "This is a fine country, greatest ever; such high winds as we have cannot be found anywhere else on earth. About an hour ago a 'canyon breeze' came along and blew the baby into a crevice in the wall. If the wind don't veer around and blow him out I think I can keep the light lit long enough to finish the epistle." And as long as we are discussing the tabooed subject of the weather, I might as well tell a joke which our new president-elect is fond of relating. Mr. Taft, for reasons that are much in evidence, finds hot weather very uncomfortable. On that account be was glad to get away from the Phil ippines. One day during his recent visit to the islands he was sitting on a shaded piazza languidly breathing and sipping cooling beverages, while a Filipino boy fanned him. It was one of those days when even a living skeleton would like to take off his skin and sit in his bones. Taft was carrying on a dilatory conversation with a group of officers. "Warm?" he queried. "Yes, it is just a trifle, and feel it more than you boys, being somewhat heavier than a zephyr. Still, I'm better off than the father of my Washington barber. Mose was shaving me one day and talking "Wahm terday, Jedge. Deed 'tis. Newer seen seen weathah all man days, and ah feels de heat, too. Ah gits that disagreeable wahm ah scarcely knows what ter do. But laws, ain't nuffin to man fathah. He -fahs from the heat sumpin' tur'ble.'

What They Are DoingLittle Things of Interest.

MARGARETTA D REX EL Society Girl Who Adorns Her Boudoir With Marfjage Proposals. Framing' the written proposals of marriage from one's admirers and using them as ornaments for one's boudoir is the latest fad among the young buds of British society. Originated byn American girl, the idea has taken strong hold, and it has England's titled gallants by the ears, for many of these fortune seeking noblemen have obeyed literally the old time motto, "If at first you don't succeed, try, try, try again." Margaretta Drexel, the beautiful young daughter of Anthony J. Drexel and wife of New York, who has amazed English society by golrc heartwhole through two London seasons, waited upon by a virtual train of courtiers, started the fad. A score or more 6uch proposals decorate her bedroom walls. And the amusing part of it all Is that a comparison of notes as a result of the new idea' shows that some of th'e peers have been working overtime in their efforts to capture some one of the many debutantes well endowed with this world's goods. Miss Drexel's career In London society has been brilliant enough to sat isfy the utmost desires of the most ; ambitious. Both the king and the j queen commented upon her loveliness when she was presented at Buckingham palace two years ago, and ever since she has had peers of every de-: gree constantly in her ti aln of admirers. Scarcely a week passes that rumor does not have her engaged to this or that one. The latest victim la Lord Dalmeny, heir to the earldom of Rosebery. No picture gives an adequate Idea of the young girl's loveliness because of Its ever varying expression. Her coloring, one of her great charms, is lost In a photograph. It has been the dream of Shannon and Sargent to paint her, but the willful beauty has not yet found time for the sittings. Her charm of manner tells more than her actual beauty. In a room you will see her surrounded by a dozen or more men, while other girls of her age will be talking to each other. Yet no one accuses her of being a flirt She never tries to outrival her sex, and for an her success she is extremely popular. She is much of an Idealist and it would not be surprising If In the end she made a romantic marriage. So devoted to her are her parents that they would hardly make objection to her choice if it entailed her happiness. What Woman Can Do! Abolish unnecessary noise. establish traveling libraries and so bring reading matter within the reach of all. Help to save the forests from demolition. Clean up her own back yard and make It such a thing of beauty that it wfn be an Inspiration to her neighbors. See that the health of ber fellow citizens Is eared for by securing the appointment of a public nurse whose duty Is the care and Instruction of the poor. Secure lighted streets at night and thereby prevent crimes. Insist upon paved sidewalks. Demand clean streets and get them. Get rid of tramps by having an ever ready town wood pile; no work, no pay. j . .JXe&to. prevent tha Injustice of child j

- '"That so?' I inquired politely. Why, where does your father liver '"He ain't libbinV was the response, followed by a long unbroken silence. Who has not had the harrowing experience of trying to make children fit for civilized company by instiling a few rudiments of polite behavior into them? The trouble with most of us elders is that by the time our children are old enough to acquire manners we are so old that we have forgotten most of ours, and it is hard to teach byprecept what we ignore by example. A pretty woman with two lusty youngsters, about six and eight years old, were dining at a down-town restaurant at my table. The mother was kept pretty busy correcting her offeprings. The elder, a boy, served the cake, helping himself first to the largest piece. "Why, dear," his mother remonstrated, "is that the way to do? Had I been serving you, I should have given you the largest piece." "Well, what's the difference, ma?" he argued. "I got it, didn't I?" Nance O'Neil is an emotional actress of the most intense brand. Indeed, the gifted woman could mislay a heap of temperament, and still be surcharged. Her work is very convincing. She puts her whole soul into it and she forces her audience to suffer with her. The vehicle in which she appears

' this season is a very distressing play, similar in plot to Enoch Arden, open- : ing with a yacht wreck and proceeding from bad to worse until the final cur- . tain rings down on a surgical opcra- ; tion absolutely true to life, inasmuch as "the operation was successful, but the patient (and villain) dies." Miss O'Neil is obliged to suffer intensely through four painful acts, and she is right on the job every minute. In one act she spurns a glass of brandy as inadequate to relieve her state of mind. One night, when she reached the point of brushing the proffered stimulant away, a man In the front row sat bolt upright, bis eyes nearly popping out of his head. "Good Lawd, Madame," he ejaculated in a voice husky and unsteady from suppressed emotion, "send that liquah down heah. We all can use it, if you can't." labor. Do away with Immoral theaters, moving picture shows and postal cards. Beautify her street with window boxes. Prevent telephone and telegraph companies from hacking off and mutilating the branches of trees. Prevent much loss of life by insisting that all wires be underground. - Arouse public interest In the public welfare. Keep her garbage box clean and covered and insist upon her fellow citlsens doing the same. ' She can, because she has done every one of these things. And when she does them all towns and cities will be clean, happy, wholesome places is which to live. Delineator. Japanese Floral Calendar. Reference is frequently made to the floral calendar of Japan. What this calendar is is explained in the Housekeeper. The Japanese are extremely fond of,all flowers, and they .have Tha China of Burma. The Chins of Burma are divided into a large number of . clans, and a man may not marry a woman of bis own clan, but after the marriage ceremonies are over the wife is initiated into her husband's clan and has her wrists wrapped round with cotton yarn as a witness' to all evil spirits that she is under the guardianship of the kun, or ancestry, of her husband. The Chins are afraid of witches; but as has been the case with other peoples, they find great difficulty in learning for certain whether a given woman is a witch or not If they knew it they would certainly drive the woman out of the village and perhaps resort to further violence. Like the Burmese, they believe that witches have the power by their incantations to Introduce foreign matters into the bodies of those whom they hats and so to cause them to die. Gossip of the Feminine World Many tailored shirt waists are in light wool, smooth surfaced. Most of the new coats" are perfectly straight around the lower edge. Jt J J ' Party frocks for small girls are necks which creep over the shoulder. J J J While all other colors come and go, the navy blue suit of tailored finish remains as a standard and the girl who wears it nearly always looks well dressed. JR J J Many of the new shirt waist sleeves are buttoned from shouldre to waist not altogether for ornamental purposes but largely because the buttons make the long sleeves much, easier of adjustment.

THE

TARIFF REVISION THE BIG PROBLEM Will Occupy Greater Part Extra Session of Congress. of NEW FORCE WILL RULE. NEXT TARIFF LAW WILL NOT CONSIDER THE PRODUCER AS MUCH AS THE CONSUMERROOSEVELT TO KEEP QUIET. Washington, Nov. 14.During the next eight months the tariff is going to be a highly popular theme of discussion. The tariff bill which it is expected will be passed at an extra session of the sixty-first congress already is under way. A lot of data has been gotten together, court decisions and executive orders interpreting the present law have been compiled and during the coming winter every important interest affected by possible changes In the schedules will have an opportunity to be heard. The tariff Is going to be revised, but it will be a republican revision is the dictum of party leaders. On this point there is no difference of opinion among republicans, though it is to be expected there will be differences as to just what constitutes republican revision. There has been manifested since the election the keenest anxiety that the business interests of the country shall not be alarmed over the purpose of republicans to redeem their pledge to revise the tariff. In this, of course, the democrats heartily join as rejoicing over signs of returning! prosperity is not confined within the limits of the victorious party. Certain of the large business inter ests, however, may as well make up! their minds to adjust themselves to new tariff conditions. "The lumber and paper industries are two in point. There is ever reason to believe lumber and pulp wood will be placed upon the free list or the tariff reduced to so low a point that it will offer no barrier to the importation of Canadian lumber. There are two demands for free lumber that congress will find hard to resist. One grows from the need of cheaper pulp paper and dressed lumber and the other from the necessity of conserving American forests. Gifford Pinchot, the national forester, is an urgent advocate of free lumber, and in this he will have the moral , support of the incoming administra-j tion. Mr. Pinchot does not believe free ' lumber would greatly reduce the price ' of dressed lumber in this country, but he does believe it will prevent inevitable advances in prices. His chief interest, though is that it would lessen the drain on American forests and give the new growths a chance to attain maturity. The demand for pulp wood Is now so great that trees suitable for that purpose are cut when they are little more than saplings. Canada has vast tracts of absolutely virgin forests, much of it accesable to the waters of the Great Lakes, and this would supply the needs of the United States for many years to come without menacing the' Canadian forests. The great wheat belt interposes between the eastern and western Canadian forests, but in the extreme west of British Columbia there is some of the most valuable timber in the American continent. The cost of stumpage and getting out timber in Canada is about the same as in the United States and the distance in haul would give domestic lumber a slight advantage in the United States markets , even without a tariff. For these reasons, the experts ' declare, free lumber would hold prices at about the present level for lumber and would slightly reduce the price! of pulp wood. Free lumber, of course, j

"Hes Yours" Said Scorned Girl Handing Bridegroom Baby Boy

Fall River, Mass.. Nov. 14. Like the climax out of a drama was the revenge of a discarded girl at the marriage of her one-time sweetheart and her rival here today. The wedding of Chailes J. Reagan, a banker, and Miss Mary Chardwick in the Cathedral was the social event of the year. The bride is one of the most widely known women in this part of the state, and the church was filled with her friends. After the marriage the bride and bridegroom, accompanied by the matron of honor and the best man, started slowly down the aisle, keeping time would mean free lumber from Canada, as there is no other country that would profit largely by removing or reducing the tariff. It is announced that President Roosevelt will leave the tariff for his successor to deal with and will make no recommendations on that subject in his message to congress- next month. It is expected that, upon call of President Taft, the sixty-first congress will assemble in extra session about the middle of next March, and it Is hoped to pass a tariff bill and adjourn by the middle of June. Whether this hope will be realized is altogether problematical. It is go ing to be a big Job, no matter how conservatively the task may be approached. In his assertion that the tariff was a local issue Gen. Hancock will be vindicated this winter, probably, as he never was before. Everybody is going to be for tariff revision, per se, but no one who enjoys the benefits of protection is going to want his particular schedule disturbed. But in the coming tariff revision there is going to be a new force to reckon with. In "the past when the republicans built a tariff law it has been the producer .and the need of protecting bim that has been kept in mind. In the forthcoming revision the consumer is going to loom up as entitled to consideration. Economists agree that one of the greatest needs of this country is a cheaper breakfast table. Desirable as are high wages, when the cost of living increases faster tban the wage the wage-earner does not gain. Now that the next national election is two years removed, the Bubject can be viewed impartially without trodding on anybody's political toes; and the job of passing a satisfactory tariff bill doesn't appear a bit easier aa the time for its undertaking draws nearer. Republicans admit that the party is to be on trial this winter. The country has entrusted them again with the duty of framing a tariff law, and they realize that unless they make a satisfactory job of it things will go hard with them in the congressional elections of 1910.

The procession had gone half way when a closely veiled woman, clad in somber black, rose, and, picking up a boy baby held him out to Reagan. "Stop, Charles Reagan ! she cried. "Miss-Miss Sullivan r Reagan gasp ed. "Here he is here Is your son. I've taken care of him for four years. You must take him now you and your wife." Then the woman turned and walked out. The bride fainted. Reagan stood among the horror stricken friends, while the matron of honor and the be6t man carried the bride into the vestry. When the bride revived she returned to her own home. Reagan left town this evening, refusing to make known his destination. He took the child with him. FRITZ KRULL, Tbe Higher S nd V ol Singing. Richmond very Monday. Starr Piano parlors.
