I'r ‘WILL. be an important day in the lite of Senator 48, Overman of venty-sec- on March For 76-year-ald Senas tor, whom Wood- - row Wilson once described, as &'’ “splendid fighter," will find himselt, in two highly " prized positions: Senior - Semator from the State of North Carolina. Joint hoider with Reed Smoot of Utah of the title of ranking member of the United States . Senate in point of contin- uous service. THe first of these must lie closer to the heart of this venerable representa- | tive of the Old North State in the Sen- | ate. For 27 years he has worn the title | of “junior Senator” without interrup- ion. The diminutive Furnifold McLendel Simmons was the “Senator” from North Carolina during those years, but defeat has removed him from the two posi- :-tons which Overman now will take | ver., ‘That title of “junior Senator” seems | hardly in keeping with Overman. Both | he and Simmons were born in January, 1854—in fact, Overman is 17 days the older. Simmons has been in the ords. | _Stalwart of the stalwarts in the Senate since 1901; Overman since 1903. But it is in Overman's personal ap- pearance that the title seems most out of place. A wide, portly man of large good nature, genial and fun loving, he usually is pointed out as the man who looks most like a Senator. His hair 18 snowy white, and he wears long to his collar. His cheeks are MW as he sits at his desk in the ‘of the chamber on the aisle which separates Democrats and Repub- licans, his ruddy face looks out be- nignantly on men and affairs. Only when a colieague breaks through that sereniiy of manner—and such occasions are rare—does he become aroused. There's & stinging, -whip lash crack to his tongue even yet. He wears a black, square-topped mode of soft hat, the kind that another famous North Carolinian, Josephus Daniels, Secretary of the Navy during the days of the World -War, wore when he was a member of President Wilson's cabinet. Often, when the day is cool, he adds an ample, black, velvet-collared cape with a touch of color to the lining. That, and his white hair, his portly, dignified bearing and the kindly, tran- quil look of him, remind one of the Old South—of plantations and cotton Democratic ranks, regular in thought and deed, steeped in party traditions— this is the elderly North Carolina states- man— A stickler for order and decorum of the Senate; insistent upon respect for the title of United States Senater. Psychic Adventures of Noted Men and W Captain Marryat BY J.P. THE CAPTAIN SPRANG INTO THE DISCHARGED HIS REVOLVER DIRECTLY IN THE BROWN LADY'S FACE. ‘The famous Capt, Marryat, greatest English writer of novel dventure at oW thot st ‘% gre he Norfolk, not far from Raynham l, the home of Sir Charles and Lady ‘Townshend. Sir Charles had only recehtly suc- ceeded to the title and the estate. He had the mansion, which had been un- occupled, redecorated throughout, and then came down with his wife and a possession. Hall was haunted, it was said, | apparition of a long-dead lady of the family whose portrait hung in one of e Tooms. In the picture this individual was presented in a brown satin dress yellow trimmings. For this reason apparition was called the Why she haunted the place She had died, in her youth—the victim,. perha tragic love affair.

Indeed, he doubted if there was one. ‘There was much smuggling and h- ing at Norfolk at that period. It was his theory that the smugglers wished, for some reason, to frighten the propri- Brown Lady’s “Let me sleep in the “IN rid chamber,” he told Sir Charles. you of this nuisance.” Sir Charles was glad to D offer. So, armed with a loaded pistol, the captain proceeded to occupy the room the first two Marryat was retiring, two of the baro- net knocked on his door and asked him to step over to their room, at the other end of the corridor, to give thém his opinion of a new hunting gun that had Just been brought down from London. Marryat went along, dressed onily* in his shirt and trousers, for they were the only persons in the house then up. But as they left his room, he picked up his revolver. “In case we meet the Brown Lady,” he said, laughing. ‘The new gun was inspected and ap- proved. Then the captain went back to his own room. The young men said they would accompany him. “In case you meet the Brown Lady,” they re- peated. As they walked down the long, dark corridor, they saw the faint glimmer of & lamp approaching from the other end. “One of the ladies going tc visit the - nursery,” whispered one of the young ‘Townshends. ‘The captain was embarrassed.

Brilliant Touches In New Accessories ‘The age of luxury is upon us in full force and some of the newest and love- lest accessories gleam and glitter in a regal manner. It is quite the thing nowadays to have shoulder straps of brilllants on evening gowns, or lacking these, to use the most beautiful jewels you have for decoration. New costume jewelry makes much of emeralds and rubies, in con- Junction with crystals or real diamonds, if you can afford them. The main thin, is some brilliant decorative touch. Woolen scarfs are lined with satin to match, just to give them that gleam that the well conceived accessories should have to be in vogue right now. Even ,purses and shoes reflect this gleaming mode. There are scintillating Jeweled buckles for evening slippers, and many a shoe has a gleaming touch of gold or silver to enliven it. Purses make much of jeweled clasps and orna- ments, with the modernistic monogram in jewels one of the newest clips for this purpose. Lacking real jewels, there are stun- ning costume jewelry pieces to be had for not so exiravagant a sum as you might fear. One such is a modernistic evening necklace made of squarish emeralds, the synthetic kind of course, set in crystals to outline them. The necklace itself is made of the cut crystal which gleams in stunning man- ner around the neck, setting off the ;me?lds which are attached at the ront. Earrings which look lovely with this necklace are of emeralds attached to triangles of crystal. They are very Jong pendant earrings which look very distinguished on a woman with long hair, worn up off her pretty ears.

C, MONDAY Pinds Tyouble in Autocratic Government 5% |DorothyDix| Tfll thing that is the matter with the home is that it is an autocracy instead of a democracy, and autocracy is obsolete in this age of freedom. Sometimes it is the parents who are grinding tyrants and try to make downtrodden slaves of their children. Just as often it is the children who are absolute monarchs of the household, and who rule their parents with a rod of iron. Seldom do the members of a family circle meet together in the spirit of mutual toleration and recognition of each other’s right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. It is folly to deny that most homes are & perpetual battleground on which civil war—and sometimes war that isn't so clvil—is ceaselessly waged. Why, when we want a good time and enjoy ourselves, do we away from home to do 1t? Why, when we need a rest cure, do our doctors always send us away from home to take it? Why do children leave home just as soon as they can stand on their own feet? Why do parenis, no matter how much they love their children, breathe a sigh of thankfulness when they get them established in business and safely married with homes of their own? The answer is self-evident. We all crave peace. The passion of our hearts is for a little liberty and we seldom find it in our homes, In our homes there was always some one seeking to dominate us, tying to force his or her will on us. Somebody interfering with all of our tastes snd habits and plans and attempting to coerce us into substituting his or hers for our own desires. Hence the family row that makes most households a storm center. Hence the anxiety and the heartaches of parents who complain bitterly of the ingrati- tude of children. Hence the hard-boiled children Who openly defy their parents and go their wild, blundering, unguided way to destruction. Hence the un- solvable problem of parents and children that is unsolvable merely because nobody thinks about solving it on a fifty-fifty basis. Parents will not recognize that the heavy father stuff has passed into the limbo of outgrown things, along with the absolute right of kings. The old atriarchal days, when a man’s children were just as much his chattels as his mees and cattle and when he could exact implicit obedience from his sons and daughters, have gone, never to return. In those days when parenthood was a graft father decided every detail of his children’s lives. He picked out their occupations for them without any reference to their own inclinations or talents. He selected their husbands and wives for them, and if they didn't meekly do as he sald he cursed them and turned them out of doors without a penny. You cannot use those tactics in dealing with the modern young is, likely as not, not only making his own living, but helping to suj | tamily, yet parents still try it. They simply will not see that the high-handed way of treating a self-supporting girl and boy will not work. Their financial independence automatically frees them from parental control. So when father and mother tell John where he gets off, and forbid Mary having dates or staying out after 11 o’clock, John and Mary simply €nap their fingers in their parents’ faces and do as they please. They will not be ordered about, and if there has never been an autocracy in the family, if it has always been a democracy in wkich all of the problems relating to the children had been talked over freely, and they had enjoyed the privilege of expressing their own desires and the right of self determination to a large extent, John and Mary would be amenable to reason and willing to go guided largely by their parents. That is all parents have any right to expect of their children, for, after all, the fact that people have children does not endow them with supernatural wisdom, nor do father and mother always know what is best for their children. Many old hens hatch out swans and spend their lives trying to keep them out of the water. Very often a child is s0 utterly different from its parents in physical development, in mental ability, in temperament and talent that its | father and mother are no more fitted to guide it than an earthworm is the flight of an eagle. - If it is bad for the parents to be dictators to their children it is even worse when the children are the ones who must be obeyed in the family. We see plenty of the tragedy of chicken-pecked parents. Fathers and mothers who have sacrificed everything in the world to give their children advantages of education that they themselves never had, who go shabby that their children may be well dressed, who never even ride in the cars they pay for except when the children don’t happen to want to go out, and who are despised and held in contempt by their children. ‘The remedy for all this is to make the home a democracy. If the children had shared in the sacrifices that the parents had to make, if they had borne part of the family burden they would have a sympathy and understanding for | their father and mother that they never have. It would have given them a sense of family solidarity that they lack, and it would have strengthened and | steadied them and made them better men and women. All the other old autocracies are going into the discard now. Why not send the home along with the rest and substituse for it a democracy in which parents and children will have equal rights?

Makers of “foundation garments” have come into their own. It is a neat phrase, invented to make the corseted woman feel she is wearing her own fig- ure and not one of steel and elastic. Usually it is a neat affair, too, this gar- ment—ingenious bits of silk, tricot, rub- ber, steel strips and perhaps real whale bone, with a frothy finish, per , of lace, silk flowers and bows. It holds in a stomach inclined to roundness, and re-forms hips that may be too bony or too plump. And, for all this, it seems to leave the figure unconfined. You must have a figure, in a good old-fashioned sense of that word, to wear the new clothes. You must have a moderately slim waist, a flat abdomen, and slender, but well rounded hips. ny November 1, d This Is Coffee Week In Our Stores!
