pljan was ordered favorably reported

.months to put the bonus machinery
in motion.
Several majority members of the
committee gave notice to Senator
MeCumber that they would opose lay
ing aside the tariff bill to take up
the bonus.
Senator MeCumber replied that he
would attempt to get as prompt con
sideration of the bonus bill as could
be worked out, but did not state that
he would try to have the tariff meas
ure laid aside.
Senator Simmons, ranking Demo
cratic member, announced on behalf
of the Democrats present, that the

up life insurance in lieu of all other
forms of compensation was defeated
by a vote of 8 to 5, three Democrats

ECONOMY
THROWN
AWAY IN LONDON
London, May 15 Economy is' no
! longer to . be the keyname of court
luncuons at uuciangnam mace,
No more "economy courts" as they
were called, are to be held. These
were established by iheir majesties
after the war. to set fashionable soc
iety a much needed ' example in curb
ing extravagances'. The seal of royal
approval .has again !been bestowed
on coust trains. . Indeed no woman
can be presented at court who dees
not wear them. Of course as a man
the' Lord Chamberlain cannot pre
sume to be an expert! on fashionable
feminine dress, but it is one of his
many official duties to lay down the
rules and regulations to which wo
men musj conform at the most ex
alted of court functions.
That is one of the things for which
he is paid $15,000 a year. He has to
be a peer besides to qualify for the
exalted office which is accounted
among the political plums that the
Prime Minister has to give away.
The present Lord Chamberlain is in
the top class of the peerage. He is
the Duke of Athell.
By restoring the courtf, train he has
earned the blessings of the fashion
able dressmakers. But they would
have lengthened their blessings if
he had lengthened he trains. Before
the , war three yards was their re
gulation length, while Queen Vic
toria didn't consider four yards too
long. By the new regulations tihey
need be only two yards in length and
should not extend more than 19 inch-
es from the heel of tihe wearer when
standing.
To walk backwwards before roy
alty in a train three yards' long with
out getfing tangled up in it, imposes
a severe tax on the ability and skill
of not a few socially ambitious wo
men. Queen Mary is a very kind
woman and she would naturally wish
tjo" spare her sex making exhibitions
of themselves. Hence she was in tav
or of the shorter length for trains.
