unanimous consent to print In the
Record a statement embodying the

sentative Clark of Florida objected

of reading the New Brunswick law

900 words a minute or more not a
syllable that he uttered being Intel-
ligible The house laughed and ap-
plauded Mr Clark appealed to the
clialr to call Mr Gardner to order

on the case ‘The rules do not pre-
scribe how a member shall speak” be
said “It is for the member to decide
that question himself”
“Well this Is merely a circus and
the gentleman from Massachusetts Is
appearing In the principal role” said
Mr Clark
Mr Gardner was going ahead with
kls rapid Are reading when his time
oxplred Five more minutes were

CARRY GOSPEL TO TOURISTS
Scriptural Texts Mixed With Scenery
on the Way to Historic
Mount Vernon
Tourists bound for Mount Vernon to
see the home and tomb of Washington
and bon vlvants who travel down the
river from the capital to Marshall
hall for planked shad now have scrip
tural texts mixed with their scenery
As the boats steam by the long
bridge and approach Jones’ Point on
the walls of the old lighthouse the
passengers see:
“Your sins will find you out”
“The Wages of sin is death”
“Keep holy the Sabbath day”
These were lettered by the Rev
John Cavanaugh who says that on
Sundays particularly excursionists
on the river steam by while he Is
preaching In the Free Methodist
church to a small congregation
“I thought" he sf(l In explanation
of the painted texts “if they would
not come to me I would take the gos
pel to them"
Hand-Shaking Season Opens
The president has already begun
his spring session of handshaking with
large numbers of tourists Every
spring Washington becomes the mecca
for thousands of school children from
near-by cities and It Is no uncommon
thing for several hundred of them to
make a week end trip to Washington
to see the sights and shake hands
with the president The president has
probably had a dozen such parties call
upon him since last fall The real
spring rush has begun however and
from this time on he will be besieged
constantly by strangers most of them
In tow of or bearing a letter from
seme member of congress

NEW SHAPES IN HATS
SMALL HELMET FRAMES RE-
SPONSIBLE FOR FASHION
Large Flowers Used on the 8maller
Designs— Good Effect Obtained
by a Combination— lllustra-
tlon 8howa Polnta
The little helmet-shaped frames cov-
ered with flowers and finished with a
single sprightly bow of velvet have
proved so useful and are so pretty
that they are probably responsible
for the larger ?ower covered shapes
now coming In When a hat Is at
once delightful to look at and pos-
sesses durability it has two items In
its composition that appeal to every
woman writes Julia Bottomley In the
Illustrated Milliner
For small shapes large flowers are
most often used The entire hat may
be made of them or the crown Is alone
covered with flowers and a small up-
rolling brim In a harmonizing braid
makes a graceful frame for the face
The best effects are achieved by
combining bluish and white brims
with all-flower crowns or by making
LOOK LIKE THE REAL POSIES
Artificial Flowere That Would Deceive
Anyone but Those Who Are
In the Secret
They look just like real
Unconsciously you stoop to smell
them —
Many of the old-fashioned garden
flowers are reproduced
And wild flowers too are seen well
Imitated
Fancy a simple white frock with a
posy of pink or scarlet geraniums
tucked In the belt
Who would not suppose they Just
had been gathered In the garden
Or what could be daintier than a
flower sprigged garden frock accom-
panied by a bunch of mammoth crim-
son and white c'over
Those who like to wear blue will
also be able to wear a posy of that
color
Periwinkles with their glossy green
leaves are to be had and would add a
touch of blue to a summer frock
They would give a finishing touch
to a blue marquisette frock embroi-
dered with white porcelain beads
To Save Buttons
Did you ever have a garment re-
turn from the laundry or the washer-
woman with all the buttons on It that
It possessed when it went? Never:
Then here Is a way to save future
trouble by taking a little in the pres-
ent Work two rows of buttonholes ex-
actly opposite euch other In both
hems of the garment Instead of sew-
ing the buttons to the fabric sew
them to a tape being sure to have
the distance between the buttons on
the tape the same as that of the but-
ton holes Fasten these buttons
through the buttonholes on one hem
pinning at each end with a tiny safe-
ty pin Each time the clothes are
washed take out the tape and wash It
at home This Idea can be used for
every size of button and every tex-
ture of fabrle
Putting the Little One to Bed
When putting baby In his cradle or
perambulator place hint on his right
tde You can alter his position later
n remember particularly In con-
'cl Ion with his ctadle that It makee
it unpor foitublu to bo put on bis
' 1 Uj Liu his food
the brim In braid faced with velvet
both In the color of the flowere The
daintiest shade In the flowers will
usually prove a good choice for the
braid and velvet
These all-flower turbans ' are often
embellished with standing aigrette ef-
fects In silk fibre millinery grasses or
other fancy trimmings Splendid
quills curved in outline and luatroua
like those shown In the Illustration
make an Ideal finishing touch
Numbers of large hats (and tome
very large ones) are shown' with both
brim and crown hidden by blossoms
To avoid a too heavy appearance
email flowers are used fir these with
a few larger ones Interspersed Tbe
best large hate of this character have
flower-covered crowns and the brim
only partly covered by them' Velvet
lops or ribbons usually finish such
designs
DUTCH COLLAR AND CUFFS
8ome Valuable Hints for the Many
Who Are Fond of Wearing
Dainty Frills
The girl who likes to lighten a dark
costume with dainty frills should
make herself one of the sets of round-
ing Dutch collar and cuffs In plaited
lawn
The frills are made of fine white
lawn or dotted muslin They are cut
three and a half Inches wide for the
collar and two Inches for the cuffs
Mark the edge in a tiny scallop with
a spool of two hundred cotton and
buttonhole In white or colored mercer
lzed cotton in a shallow lino
When finished sew Into eighth of an
Inch side plaits and sew Into narrow
band the right length to fit around
wrist and neck
The frill falls softly from the band
or In the sleeves may be Inverted and
turned back being caught at one side
with a lace pin
Instead of arranging In plaits which
are hard to Iron the frills may be run
in thread tucks to give the fullness
This model Is good for high turn-
over effects and for the Dutch collar
For the latter tbe strip should be
made narrower at the ends than in the
middle
WILL SAVE MUCH TROUBLE
8lmpl Device That Does Away With
Much Difficulty In Threading a
Darning Needle
Any little time-saving suggestion Is
always well worth making a note of
and though the hint contained In our
sketch may not be new to all our read-
ers It will certainly be ' of use to
some
The difficulty sometimes encounter-
ed In threading a darning needle with
wool is familiar to many of us and
our sketch Illustrates a way out of the
difficulty
If a loop of cotton Is Inserted through
the eye of the needle and the end of
the wool placed In It It may In this
manner be pulled through the eye In
a moment
The sketch so clearly BhowB the way
In which this may be done that fur
ther explanation le unnecessary
Ribbon Flowere
Ribbon flowers are both fashionable
and beautiful Tbe rosebud spray is
very pretty Cut bias strips three
Inches wide of chiffon or any soft
satin fabric satin is the best Make
a fold which will be one and a half
Inches wide Fasten thread and start
winding around and around Keep the
fold tight In the center and loose on
the outside until you have your rose
of the desired size For hair wreaths
which are so pretty attach green rose
foliage which can be bought for a
Btnall amount Forget-me-nota are
made by cutting narrow blue ribbon
Into five Inch lengths make a tight
knot in the center of each length
using a little yellow for center Either
ol' these flowers are very pretty on
children’s hats

Like Home Touch
Tired and dusty a party were re-
turning by rail from a holiday trip
Slmklns a little bald man seated him-
eelf to read but dropped off to Bleep
On the rack was a ferocious crab In a
bucket and when Slmklne went to
Bleep the crab woke up and finding
things dull In tbe bucket started ex-
ploring By careful Investigation Mr
Crab reached the edge of the rack
Down It fell alighting on Slmkin’s
shoulder where It grabbed the man’s
ear to study Itself Tbe passengers
held their breath and waited for developments-
but Slmklne only shook
hie head and said “Leggo fearah! 1
tell you I’ve been at the office all
