PAM sie ea a a aoe er country and the world, is as leader of American women it the graduating class of the Univer- sity of Wyoming here last Saturday. Mrs. Catt was made a doctor of laws, enjoying the distinction of being the first to receive an honorary degree from the university, ‘The speaker called upon the mem- bers of the graduating class to go into the world wth a determination to be- come men and women of vision. “Vision,” she said, “is not a wild @ream which comes in the night from indigestion; nor is it the idle fantasy of a discordant mind, although these charges have both been made. Vision is’ first of all a conviction based upon refiable knowledge of past and pres- ent in respect to any cause. Next it is |knowledge of what will be consist ent evolutionary lines of development, and no vision is trustworthy unless itis thoroughly intelligent, so I beg you to learn to fhink things through Think them out in all directions, dis card no data, know all there is to be kwjown about the cause you study. Do not allow your mental processes to sbirk the task. Learn to make tho big trings look big, and the small things, look small. And when your convic- tion comes, vision will come with it. ‘The vision which will reveal wrongs to be corrected, and rights to be es- tablished concerning that particular line of development. Then take your stand. You have found your cause to serve. Do not stammer and drop the eyes while defending it. Wyoming Example. “You the sons and daughters of ‘Wyoming, have the immortalexample of your state to follow. When Wyo- ming, fifty-two years ago, gave wom- en the vote, she stood alone— alone in all the world. Her influence was then small. In 1869 I was a young child studying geography and I re- member that great yellow splotch on the map which included Wyoming, and was called the “Great American desert." The great world jheld in shyht regard anything which could come out of that desert, and it was rot so great « thing for Wyoming to sive the vote as it was to stand for it afterwards and never falter. In fiuenco came and the +i: Legar *o jeer at Wyoming, but Wyoming stood fast, and by and by other states caught her vision and followed her example until at last after fifty years the whole nation became a unit snd tcknowledged that Wyominz had Deen right. Known in India. “Not only the nation caught her vision, but other nations as well, until now the list of nations which have conferred the vote upon women num- bers 28, and is longer than those which have not. Soon there will 2: the last being India, which has jus' been granted legislative counciis with authority which includes the right to extend suffrage to women. Thre> states have already done it, and the others are scheduled to follow. So Wyoming, the great trail blazer, im- mortalized herself by the act of 1869. Well do I remember a talk with an Indian philosopher in Calcutta, bare- footed and shirtless, and wearing the usual Indian garment, a single strip of cloth, sitting cross-legged upon a table; he quoted Emerson to me and then asked about Wyoming. It is un- usual to find any one in foreign lands who knows the names of many of our states. but millions of people have learned the name of Wyoming through that great act of progressive Justice. “Follow your state and stand fast for the cause that is right. The world may howl at you, stone you, mob you, but it will eventually sur- render to you. There is such a thing as a law of evolution leading upward &nd onward. But without the aid of those who see visions and have been Willing to live and to die for them, the rate of that evolution would at any time have been exceedingly slow. Be an Evolver. “I beg you to be an evolver, and help evolution to move onward. You may be called at the head of the column to beckon humanity upward; you may be called to serve in the rear, pushing and prodding humanity comward—or you may merely march inthe midst of the column, but even there you can set the pace and make all-your nation march the faster. “To be an evolver is not to add a burden. It is to possess yourself of @ great gift, for evolvers are men and women of vision, and vision is a buoy- ant and exhilarating daily support— the inexhaustible source of strength and courage. Evolvers help the world to-move forward, and my idea of the g00d citizen of today is one of whom it can be said—he has compelled his community to move forward. Every good citizen ought to post upon his wall two things; one was said by Victor Hugo: ‘Abuses existed, I combated them; tyrannes existed, I destroyed them; rights end principles existed, I proclaimed and confessed them.” The other was sald by Alex- ander Hamilton long years ago, of our cwn country, but it is far more significant today than then. Said he: “We are the state. If laws fail to pro- tect, it is we who fail. If injustico wells in this land it {s we who should | hang our heads in shame.’ Let these | be your guides. next fifty years will determine it.” 2 This was the declaratiton of Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, i ff; and now head of the League of Woman Vot- ets ‘the Daccalaureate address which she delivered before yet an unknown factor. The their successful fight for na- things have been appointed ‘as guard- fans of American civilization for a generation, I beg you to fit yourselve: for your task. Do not survey politics, for progress is politics, and politics is Progress, down in the valley where the frogs are densest—climb up to the political hilltops where in the sun- light there is a broader view, and there learn to understand the soul Mrs. Catt impressed upon her au- dience the need for mors!-courage in the world. ‘You are from here to take your Place as citizens in a land far ahead of most in religfous and © political freedom—in the application of the pringiples of democracy and in the solution of those great problems which now so sorely vex the world,” she said. “Time was when graduates would be congratulated upon so happy a condition, and advised to live good and honest lives, but that was long. ago. The: world knows more now and it expects more. A very great Englishman, Bishop. Onge. the Dean of St Paul's, recently said a thing which most elders of many nations have been thinking: “ ‘I have not viewed the genera- tion of which I have been a part as a particularly easy or victorious one, but I confess that I look forward with great anxiety to the journey through fe which my children will have to make, and why? Because after every war their is moral unrest and crime, disturbed financial and business con- ditions, high cost of living and oppres- sive taxation, but what is sadder than all, there is an unconstructive radi- calism threatening revolution at one extreme and a corresponding narrow cor at the other, which re sults ‘Iri-créating \a general reaction in thought and pessimism in political conduct. The greater the war, the heavier the weight of the war's after- math.’ You, the youth of today, are they who must lead through this slough of respond to higher planés and do it without allowing the of progress to drop or falter. The world needs leaders of great moral courage as it never needed them be- fore.” French “Fi urniture_ Congress Demands 4 Original Styles Oppose Continuance of Use of False Louis XV and Other Styles of Antiques PARIS, June 17.—A new style in furniture was demanded by repre- sentatives of the French furniture in- dustry at the furniture congress re cently held here. Architects are blamed by the presi- dent of the Furniture Makers’ asso- ciation for the continued production of false Louis XV, Louis XVI and other styles of antiques. They de- sign interiors to go with such furni- ture and naturally the manufacturers have to meet the demand, he says. The president proposed that the teachers in the fine arts school should begin the campaign for a modern orig- inal style by inspiring original ideas under the general direction of a com- mittee composed of artists, architects and furniture makers. He hopes this method will produce an entirely new style that will mark this epoch as did the styles of the twe Louis, of the empire and the renaissance.

Bags and Purses > hy > ° oa Outside Important Contents Less So Of course nurses and bags are nice to carry money in. but the idea now- adays is to spend the money on the purse and bag, and then put inside.a handkerchfef, a powder puff and lip stick. Asm needed accessory to every, woman's cutfit’ comes the handbag. Size and shape has,a great deal to do with their popularity as well as the inevitable color and material. A scarlet purse with a grey suit—every one must have a grey suit or dress— and what could better give the bright note of individuality. The envelope shape of large dimention stands first in popularity, and they are indeed con- venient as they open out flat and haye many compartments. Quite a change.from.the handbag into witch oné dived so frantically and so fruit- lessly. But the shape and size and coloring of the French purses, has variety. Therp are case-like purses of _black suede carrying a monogram? and there are tiny evening bags elon- gated in shape of colored silks and satins, mounted on metal tops. And the fancy bags for afternoon and evening wear are often studded. with Jewels and heavily embroidered in metal threads. For the wearer pf the chic black and white, especially designed purses of black moire with silver or pearl trimmings is the rage. So many women are handy with the needie and the demand for the frames and tops is growing rapidly. / The Womens Activities designer then takes either tapestry of silks heavily embroidered, sometimes adds beads or jewels and the result is a bag, the finishing touch for any costume.

Judge Breen has Sleeves Determined By Type of Garment ‘The most variable factor of any type| of costume, suit or waist at the pres- ent hour is the sleeves. To tell what is fashionable in'regard to them would be to describe sleeves as they have been worn down the ages since mod- ern dress was instituted. Even then, other forms of arm coverifig now al- lowed would be missing. ‘The design of sleeves ts to atcord with the type of the garment they be- long to.

It can't be done. In these days of Prohibition it requires ingenuity to spend $10 on a meal in the highest priced cafes in the city without hiring @ special orchestra or baking the table with orchids. Dining at any cf them costs very little more than at a good hotel in the west. Acreporter recently made the rounds ‘of the Ambassador, Ritz, Baltimore, Plaza, Delmonivo's Waldorf and other famous restaurants this week. These are some of the things he found. An elaborate seven-course dinner at the Ritz, including tips, would cost $7 Per pssson, a similar eight-course din- ner at the Plaza about $8.50, and a five-course luncheon at the St. Regis about $3.50. The most expensive item on any bill was roast pheasant at $6, and that enough for two. The high- est priced items in a variety sufficient for the hungriest man would not jptal $10. Entrees were fairly numerous at from $9 cents to $1.50, including the plebian pork and beans at the former price.

When Cornelius Vanderbilt died in 1899, he left -« fortune nominally reaching $100,000,- 090. Its actual proportions were much greater. A fortune similar in amount to that of the Vanderbilt brides was taken to England by the widow of-Marshalt ©. Roberts, who married Ralph 0. Vivian.

She declared that she had no inclina- tion for an international marriage, and would preserve her American citi zenship in order to bring up her son, William B. Leeds, Jr., as an American. Then followed the announcement of her marriage, quickly succeeded by that af the engagement of her son ‘to Princess Xenia, second daughter of Grand Duchess Marie and niece of King Constantine.
