Aet/K ^sre*s of March 3, 1ST9.
At Indiaiiapalis, last January, Pres*
ident Wilson assured a partisan meet
ing which ha there addressed, that
“thU cbuntry is not going to use any
parly .‘h?! fii.vn-Dt do continuous and
consistent team work.” The 1>emo-
cratie party is showing that it cannot
do this. Bryan, Kitchin, Bailey, Fitz-
gsra'.d and others, on one suhjMt or
another, are at odds with the Presi
dent. Though crJmmanding a majority
in both House and Senate, the Presi
de!!! caiiriot bring his party to -work
and vote with him on the vital quas-
tion of national dafense. “Continu
ous and consistent team work” is no
longer a Democratic characteristic;
and this country is not goinpf to usa
that party any more.

Hie announcement of the Presi
dent's purpose to consult with Repub
licans regarding his plan for national
iefeaae indicate.'? a change in his at
titude almost as great as that shown
by his ahift on the question of military
preparedness. It is only ten months
ago that Mr. Wilson went to Indiana
polis and made his Jackson Day
speech. His utterances then dentan-
stratod his opinion that the Republi-
•aA party merited no consideration
whatever in national affairs. He de
clared the party to be a "covert and
a refage for those who are afraid,”
la that why he is now turning to the
Republican party? Is he afraid th*t
kk belated osnversion to preparedness
cannot be imposed upon his party in
Coayiess and is he therefore turning
*0 the Republican party as “a covert
iBid n refuge?"

usual brilliaht, opera-going audience,
wondeifttlly s>wned in the soft shades
so much favowd for formal evening
wear this winter. The white throats,
l.beatttifully dressed hair, and gleaming
jgwe's distracted the attention more
than oiice of even the “dyed-in-the-
wcol” music lovers, who are usually
immune to clothes when Caruso is to
be heard. .
The Favored Pale Tints
Among the prevailing shades worn
by the gorgeous “fiiretnighters” were
pink, b'.ue, and white, with here and
there a stunning black frock, ar one
of vivid emerald green. This shade of
green is an exception to the fule of
white, or pastel shades, now so mod
ish; there were several entire gowns
i:: this shade at the opera and the
most striking and artistic costume no
ticed at the Horse Show, .some weeks
earlier, wr.s also of this green. It is
woi-.derfully becoming to a woman
with v>'hite hair and a youtliful face.
Black is favored for evening, too, and
served as an attractive touch of con
trast amo«g the pale tones in the
“golden horseshoe.”
The Matter of Fans an4 Gloves
Among the ni3st fascinating acces
sories accompanying these attrnctive
costumes "were the fans; these were
not the small, useless fancies of sev
eral seasons past, but large, graceful
fans of ostrich- curled and uncurled.
Many were in white, or the pastel
■hades; one especially attractive fan
waa o' midnight blue, uncurled ost^
