New York, March 23—
On every side one sees the
most fascinating frocks of taffeta silk
irresistibly attractive for all varie-
ties of wear, and that find favor with
women of any age or taste.
| Nothing is at once more practical
and stylish than a dress of black taff-
eta, and it all depends upon the linss
jand the trimming whether this suits
| the girl or the grandmother. The shops
{are showing ready-to -wear skirts of
i this material in excellent quality,
made after a number of smart modelg
that are an invaluable - addition to
almost anyone's wardrobe and that
will solve the problem of the dress
that goes anywhere and packs in saml]

practical ,and very pretty frocks es-
pecially in the combinations of plain
and brocaded or embroidered goods.
Some of the most fetching models in
the fancy silks with white or light
tinted grounds are made with diminu-
tive Victorian coatees of black taffe-
ta, a rose tucked into its folds and
pretty lace used for the tucker and
‘sometimes for the sleeves as well.
A dress of blue taffeta with a flow-
er ni black embroidery spotted at wide
intervals had a jumper waist of white
satin with strappings in military fash-

same blue showed in te lining of the
'up-standing half collar, and cuffs. A

Protest of Champ Clark Reminded |
Alabama Statesman of
Humorous Story.
The most dramatic day of the Sixty-
third congress was when Champ Clark,
the speaker of the house, took the floor
for his famous speech explaining why
he opposed President Wilson's policy
of repealing the Panama canal tolls
exemption law. Clark was on the los-
Ing side, and everybody knew that the
vote would certainly uphold the presi-
dent.
While the speaker was delivering
his remarks in his vibrant, booming |
voice, Tom Heflin of Alabama walked |
through the Democratic cloakroom.
Even there the thunder of Clark’s
voice was audible.
Heflin stopped, laughed and said:
“That reminds me of an old colored
man down in my state. He was work-
Ing out in the middle of a field on a |
hot summer day. It was so hot that |
the heat seemed to be simmering vis-
ibly wherever you looked. After a |
while the midday train rushed by |
about half a mile away, whistling for |
a crossing and roaring and thundering |
as it went.
“The old man watched it go by,
took hold of his hoe and stooped over
his work once more. Then he said,
talking to himself:
“‘Boom! Bing! Bum! Hum! But
I's gwine to ride you nex’ Sadday)
