THE CASPER DAILY TRIBUNE In Woman’s Realm Pretty and Sensible Morning Dress Which May Be Made of Linen, but Is More Likely to Be Mad2 of Cotton, Such es Indian Head or Some Other Suitable Weave—Pretty Head- dress for the Opera. Here 1s a pretty und sensible morn- ing dress which may be made of linen but is more likely to be made of cotton such as Indian head or some other suitable weave. For it appears that nen is soaring In price, with the end not yet in sight. There is no very g00d reason for preferring It to sub- Btantial and beautifully-woven cotton matertals. Now that the days are short and the evenings long, and while the weather out-of-doors is not inviting, springtime clothes may be got under way. The dress shown may be cut by a | mighty well worth while. There Is a feast spread there for the eyes, as well as the ears, The colffures and hair ornaments fre enough to engross eyes that love to see woman's crowning glory still furth- ler glorified. This season, handsome | combs have taken precedence over oth- jer hair ornaments. .They are made of silver filigree, shell, coral, amber and gold; some of them are enameled, and most of them are set with briiliants and mock Jewels. Besides these, there | are many pretty opera caps «nd head ‘dresses In which malines, brightened EMBROIDERED MORNING DRESS, pattern for a plain skirt and Jacket, furnished by any of the standard pat- tern companies. It has a wide cap collar and a belt with sash ends made of the san mnaterinl as the dress. The skirt is embroide near the bot- tom with occasional sprays of flowers, and this embroidery reapy cuffs, collars, and sush ends. The Jack et Is laid in plaits at each side of the front and across the back. The sleeves rs on the are plain.

This simplifies the matter of laundering them. Em- broidery is left out of the reckoning on these. Among the newest and most satisfactory house dresses are skirts and blouses in one, of unbleached lin- en or cotton resembling ft. In making these clothes, that must stand the wear of everyday and a weekly tub- bing, goods that will look best in the Jong run should be chosen, Even those who have no ear for mu- sic find the opera alluring, and one might be wtone deaf and still find it either strands of pearls or rows of spangles or rhinestones set on them. ‘They are easy to make. The founda- tion is a narrow band of buckram, cov- ered with silver cloth. Silver Ince is placed over this and sewed along.the upper edge. In one of these” orna- ments a strand of pearl beads is sewed along the upper edge, and a disk, cov- ered like the band with silver, is set at the front. Pearl beads are sewed all over its outer surface. sie WILSON AND DEFICIT Democratic Leaders Confess They Have No Relief Plan. tonsequently It Is Up to the Presi- dent to Provide Funds, and He Seems Willing to Take Chances. The president, it is stated, is giving attention to the deficit, with the view of addressing congress on the subject. He has other matters of importance ta hund, but nothing more important than thate It is the subject of di cussion | throughout the country, and bas be- come a puzzle to the statesmen or Capitel Hill. The more prominent of | them are silent. Mr. Kitchin frankly | confesses that he hus oo plan for re lieving the situation. Neither Mr, Simmons nor Mr. Underwood has vol-| unteered a suggestion. Only Mr. Gar- her of the ways and means committee | seems to huve tackled the prqposition in dead eurnest; and his scheme for} relief is reasonably certain not to be) adopted.

He takes ply in the observation, produce goose flesh on men of cautious spirit. If he takes this chance; if he works out and submits a plan for finding the addi tlonal money now needed by the gov: ernment, he will have performed one of his most notable acts of that kind While the deficit is not a surprise, if is an embarrassment. It exists, and must be attended to. As a matter of fact, it should have been attended tc at the long session, although the con gressional card then was crowded Nothing Is easier to say than that con gress should cut according to the cloth, But, as fine words butter nc parsnips, old platitudes remedy noc evils. Big-appropriations have beer n sary, and in making them con gte has gone beyond the govern ment’s income. The income should be promptly in creased, The means are not now cleat to anybody. But this much should be clear to everybody: We are legislating in and for new times, with some old economic theories scrapped, and oth ers in a rickety state. It is a condl- tion, not a theory, that confronts us, At a time when money is abundgnt be yond precedent, and expenses cannot be greatly reduced without injury te the public welfare, we need, and should have, a workable scheme o1 | taxation, free from both :s ional and} class characteristics, and grounded Ip square deal for all. Baker’s Significant Silence. The annual report of the secretary of war is notable not for what it says but for what it doesn’t say. Mr. Baker apparently cannot bring himself to the point of officially admitting the fallure of the Hay army reorganization law. ary Baker does not say that the reorganization has been in any way a succe Nor does he put on record his evident belief that it has been an unrelieved failure. His silence, however, is eloquent. And the figures he gives of the mobilized strength of the militia and of the present strength of the regular army prove conclusively that the grotesque first-line army pro- vided for by the Hay law does not ex- tst today, and certainly never will ex- on paper. — New York | Most of It Due to War. The report of the department ot | commerce shows how our exports | have grown during the war. The to- tal exports from this country for the} 11 months which ended with Novem- ber were more than $4,960,000,000, For the same period in 1915 the total was only a little more than $3,195,- 000,000. The highest record for a peace year (or « normal year) was that in 1013, when it was only $2,250,- 000,000. That is to say, the exports | in the first 11 months of this year were more thun double those of a nor- mal year. Does anyone doubt that a great part of our present prosperity has been bulit upon war business? All But Mr. Wilson, Mr. Wilson's representatives are said to be “totally disgusted” with Senor Carranza and his representa- tives. This makes it unanimous, ex- cept for Mr. Wilson. Higher Tariff Coming. The government is already facing a deficit of $300,000,000, and Senator Penrose declares that it will be nearer $500,000,000, In spite of the extraor- dinary ‘taxes now being levied. It makes no difference what the per- sonnel of the tariff board is, so far as the main f»ct is concerned, and that fact Is this: There will be a higher tariff, essen- tially protective, anda law providing for it will be enacted by this Demo- cratic administration. -- Philadelphia Ledger. Truthful - Charlotte Me By HI AKERS (Copyright, 1916, by W. G. Chapman.) Charlotte stood watching the daurers surge past her. It was like a kaleidoscope of glistening color, and somehow she felt she didn't belong In the scheme of decoration. She knew | she was not what is called pretty. Her cheekbones were too high, and her mouth too large. No one had ob- truded the fact on her that her hair and eyes were good to look at, and her smile particularly fetching, for Charlotte was not conceited, and her mother and elder sister being of the Puritanic type, had taken pains that she should not be. The girl in all her nineteen years had never been to anything quite so grand as this. The festivities of the little schoolteacher had not extended ond the church socials and, small dances among her few chums. But Aunt Maude, who had been living in California for six years, suddenly ap- peared in their midst, and began re- newing her acquaintance with many } whom her sister, Charlotte's mother, had dropped or been dropped by when thé change in her fortunes had obliged her to earn her living by taking boarders, Aunt Maude was quite shocked to “Is One Reason Why ! Would Like to Be Rich!” find that Charlotte had no “real so- ciety,” as she called it, and she began a reform in that direction by secur- ing for her niece an invitation to the Purcell party, the host being one of the millionaire automobile manufac- turers of the city. Having introduced her niece to the hostess, Aunt Maude had met some old friends, and become so engrossed in conyersation that she had for the time forgotten the girl's existence. Charlotte was just trying to decide whether she would rudely break through the circle to her chaperon or turn and fly when a young man who, she mentally decided, was about as plain as she was, came up and asked her to dance. They swung out among the swaying throng. Presently another couple collided with them, and her partner stepped on her foot. He apologized most profusely, but the re- mainder of the dance was something like agony to the girl, though she would not let him see how much she was hurt. When the musie stopped she asked him if he would take her to her aunt. “Let ine find you another partner who won't be so clumsy as to step on you,” he suggested. “No, thank you, I don’t care to dance the next.” “Now, Lam afraid I’ve put that foot out of commission,” he sald with so- licitude, “Oh, no, but please take me to my aunt.” “Are you so very anxious to find that aunt?” he persisted. “But I do not wish to keep you from dancing.” “Suppose I want to be kept?” “Oh, well, that alters the case, Per- haps I can make the punishment fit the crime.” The young man smiled at the deter- FAl | ING HAIR MEANS mined ring in her voice. ‘i “That's the way to go to it,” he sald. “Most of us have to go through that mill.” . “But there are some things I would not have if I were rich, seme things I have seen here tonight.” “Really? What now, for instance?” There was a curious insistence in his tone that had to be answered. “That great room where they are dancing—it’s very beautiful, very stately, but it doesn’t seem to be- long in a home.” “Still, if people are going to give great parties and dances like this, it’s absolutely necessary.” > “Yes, but for me, it wouldn't be ab- solutely necessary to get into my home great crowds of people who only cared for me because I could give them a good time.” “How do you know that’s all they care?” he queried, studying her curi- ously. “I couldn't help hearing some re- marks when I stood there alone. One man said to another: ‘Gorgeous, isn’t it? Awfully new!" And the other one said: ‘Yes, just smells of money !’ Then I heard a girl say: ‘Look! there is young Pureell, the son and heir!’ and the other one answered: ‘He isn't much of a looker, is he?” “Well, he isn’t,” laughed the young n. Have you seen him?” ‘No, but I don’t think I'd say such things about my host in his own house anyway.” “Now, as to these crushes, I suppose rich people feel it’s expected of them, that they are obliged to entertain,” he added. “Well, if I were rich, I wouldn't feel obliged to be like everyone else. I'd be glad I could be different,” she said. “You are different rich.” “I see,” she added quickly. “You do not agree with me.” He looked the girl squarely in the eyes. “But I do,” he said with con- viction. The conversation went on unheeding time. Through it all the music kept up its rhythmic undertone, and twixt the palm leaves a round moon streamed in undimmed by the soft lights beyond. Charlotte seemed to be in a new and wonderful world. Sud- denly the spell was broken by the sharp tones of her aunt's voice. “Oh, there's where you are! Well, you've given me a pretty hunt! 1 didn’t know whether you were lost, Strayed or stolen.” “I'm sorry—” began Charlotte, but the young man rose, interrupting her. “It's all my fault, Mrs. Twombly. £ stepped on your riece’s foot. I hope I haven't lamed her for life.” Aunt Maude looked questioningly at the man, serutinizing him with near- sighted eyes, “Well, I declare!” she exclaimed, “1 haven’t seen you since you were in knee pants!” “I guess you mean Arthur; I was at college when you left.” “Oh, yes, you’re Dan. But there's such a strong likeness between the Purcells.” “Purcells!” gasped Charlotte. “Well, what's the matter?’ asked Mrs. Twombly. “Has Mr. Purcell been salling under an assumed name?” “I think,” he stammered rather shamefacedly, “it was no name at all.” Then he added: “Will you ask your niece if I may call, and try to make it all right?” “You may call,” put in Charlotte, with flushed face and eyes turned away, “but I don’t think I'll be home.” “I'm not easily discouraged,” he | Inughed, as Aunt Maude with a reas- suring smile took the dazed and em- barrassed young lady to the cloak- room, “I believe,” whispered Aunt Maude triumphantly, “you've made a con- quest.” “I believe,” answered her niece, “T've made a fool of myself.” When three weeks had passed, and Purcell had not called. Aunt Maude expressed her mystification to Char- lotte. “Oh, he never intended to,” retorted the girl. “He saw me standing there alone, and he thought it his duty to ask me to dance. Then he thought because he had stepped on my foot so I couldn’t dance he ought to entertain me—and he was being amused. Weil, I don’t care whether I ever see him again.” Which last was not strictly true. But when a girl’s heart hus been touched and forgotten she is really quite ex- cusable for covering up that hurt. | Shortly after this when crossing the | street, the sudden toot of a motor al- | most startled her so that in her hurry to get out of the way she tripped and fell.

BEES MAKE HIVE OF HOUSE Four Swarms Removed From Bullding When a Fifth Arrives at lowa Home. Four swarms of wild bees recently have removed from the two-story house of Earl Berryman on the East side of Rockwell City, the Cedar Rapids (Ia.) Gazette says. Three of them were lo- cated under the shingles on three cor- ners of the building and one was back of the weather boarding near the eaves on the south side of it. About three bushels of combs were removed, but the amount of white comb honey was not nearly so great as the fine yield this year from good hives in the neigh- borhood. * = A fifth swarm arrived and endeav- ored to gain an entrance to the build- ing at the eaves on the south side. Failing to-find a suitable opening, this swarm clustered within and around a four-inch drain tile lying in the grass near the building.
