A really smart new -hat, no matter how little it costs, actually brings us more than a feeling of self-respect. It gives us courage and savoir faire and brightens up the mental landscape gen- erally.

He came to Washington in April of 1920 to take thé seat vacated by Vice President Curtis.

The dramatic arts, stage and screen, are on that science of human nature which is called Shakespeare ‘advised his pl hold, as 'twere, the mirror up to nature.” Aside from the naturalness of the dramatic arts, there must also be some- thing artificial about them. They must make the most of the phrase, “as ‘twere.” There's in it all an element of what ought to be rather than what is. You will find this same acting of roles everywhere in everyday life. In other words, human beings go just as far as they can in making themselves out to be a little other than what they really are. The artificiality in every day life is really enormous. It is said that an actor can play the par: of an aristocrat more easily than he can play the part of a commoner. The business of king is to act his part. ‘The artisan lives his part in life. It's an easy matter to copy the artificiality of life. It's a hard job to portray the realness of that inner life which lowly people live. Why was the court fool so popular during the middle ages? And why is the humorist so popular in our day? It is becaus> the former did and the latter does teach us how to understand the artificiality of everyday life.

For a newccmer to do so makes it the more daring. Borah branded Allen's remarks as “a cowcrdly insinuation”—a rather strong statement for one Senator to make to another. And Copeland let it be known that he felt the same way about the matter. Tut it was the sarcastic, hard-hitting Caraway of Arkansas whom Allen seem- ed to irritate the most. In a running exchange of words one day, Carraway told Allen “that the grasshopper. is not the only plague” to come out of Kansas. The Arkansas Senator also told Allen that the only conviction he had was “what the President wants.” Whereupon | Allen countered with the declaration that he would rather take “the thoughts of the President” than those of Carra- way. “The Senator will have his choice, Caraway snapped. “He must take some body's opinion. He did not bring one here with him.” “The reflection the Senator casts on my thinking apparatus might be a reflection on his own,” Allen hurled “I was not casting any reflection on the Senator’s thinking apparatus,” re- never accused him <ms to be a little rough treatment for a new Senatcr.

If previously no satisfactory and unbiased answer could be made, one is available today. For one thing, a specialist in mer- chandising statistics informs us that the daughter over 15 years of age is the most extravagant member of the average American family today. (Maybe that won't get hearty approval from brothers!) In some instances it is found that 5 per cent of the family’s income is devoted exclusively to the raiment of the young daughter of the family. Daughters spend more than mothers on hats, dresses of all kinds, pajamas, glaves, scarfs, handkerchiefs, hair orna- ments and jewelry. Mothers, on the | other hand, buy more union suits, cot- ton night dresses, wool stockings, house slippers and mittens. (It is probable that they buy more because flappers wear less!)
