Passing of Black Velvet
Black velvet gowns are not consid-
ered so smart this year as last yet

with sable and ermine and white lace

An exceedingly smart and popular vel-
vet model is almost exaggeratedly
plain says Harper’s Bazar The only
trimmings are the rhinestone but-
tons' but with this costume is worn
a pelerine of sable with big muff and
turban to match and the beauty of
the furs is shown to the greatest pos-
sible advantage by the very plainness

ested in the announcement which has
Just been made before the Philadel-
phia Medical society by Dr C E De
M Sajous that he has discovered a
hitherto unsuspected function of the
pituitary body which is an appendage
of the brain of which scientists have

simply a piece of embryonal tissue
which had no function but recently
it has been discovered that like the
thyroid and superemal glands the en-
tire system is immediately affected
when it becomes diseased
Dr Sajous after having devoted
fourteen years to the study of the sub-

Congressman Cannon's Metaphor
Congressman Cannon sometimes in-
dulges in metaphor when addressing
the house and at such times he de- '
dines to be bound by any rule As a
consequence his metaphor sometimes
is mixed He was arguing against a
proposition favoring a railroad one
day “The railroads have been before
the senate on their knees praying and
praying and praying” said Uncle Joe r
in his preacher-like tones and then
stopping a moment and looking about
the house he concluded to finish with -an
expression that might better ap'
peal to the understanding of -many - '
members and added: “And gentlemen
let us call thelf hand” ? -
