THE sensible thins 'or the grow
ing echool girl to wear that Is
tha. auestlon which Is .puzzling
the mothers whose daughters have
crossed the "Buster Brown" limit and
come to the age of separate waists and
skirts; Just what costume will con
form gracefully,- and at the same time
practically, to the expanding and ex-
tending figures of gangly girlhood, or
. be most suitable for the daughter just
budding into womanhood, this is a
problem that puts the family dress
maker as well as the puzzled mother
to pondering. .
Miss Dorothy Bernard, otherwise
fondly known as "Dot," of the Baker
Stock Company, has not long been out
of school, and is even stUF a little in
fear of being sent back to her books,
despite her lengthening skirts and the
- new dignity ehe has taken on since
.being allowed to do "grown-up" roles
with her 'mother" and father on the
Baker boards. Her Columbia Seminary

she" doesn't "know "of any school girl
who i loves comfort, combined with
' taste and daintiness, more than she
doea,' so she consented to pose for The
Oregonlan's camera man in four, of her
' school costumes, which she declares to
; be "Just dandy."
"I can Just Jump into these and out

, maid of the footlights. "Mamma always

Washington
Many National Assemblies Held at
WASHINGTON, Oct. 13. (Special
Correspondence.) The pulse of.
the Nation is felt in Washington
in other than political ways, for with the
National Government as a hub, spokes
radiate to the institutions of the various
religious and fraternal organizations as
well as to a society that is .both inter
national and National. This being ' in
creasingly true with the years, the Na
tion's capital has gradually become a
convention capital and no less than five
National assemblies met here within the
week. They . were -the National Associa
tion of Railroad Commissioners, the Fed
fration of Trade Vress Associations, the
International' Association of Fire En
gineers, the Medal of Honor Legion and
the Woman's Christian Temperance
Union. The thirty-sixth annual" meeting
of the Baltimore branch of the Woman's
Foreign Missionary Society might also be
included in the list of the week's con
ventions. t t
Even with these meetings as a special
drawing card, added to the year's fea
ture at Jamestown, for whose visitors
Washington has been a kind of way sta
tion, there has been a perceptible falling
off in the number of strangers passing
within our gates since the approach of
Autumn warned the busy world every
where that the vacation season is over
for 1907. And so Washington is made to
realize that in arithmetical progression
to its own settling in Winter quarters
and the pursuits of an active season,
other cities are doing the same, and
that while private householders here and
there are concerned with their Individual
lares and penates, public caretakers,
from the President In-the White House
to those in charge of Federal buildings
and grounds, are equally zealous tn pre
paring for the Winter.

I help to settle the bills, too!"
So saying. Miss Bernard clasped her
hands behind her head and struck 'the
posa shown in No. 4, telling the pho
tographer to go ahead and take a pic
ture of ' "this love of a polka-dot
frock." The frock is of leather-brown
foulard, with cream polka dots, and Is
made all in one piece, the waist and
eklrt being joined together with a
folded belt. The extreme fullness of
the waist is pleated in at -the low-cut
neck, to a square yoke of strong but
dainty lace, and bits of the same lace
are used In finishing the cuffs of the

days getting the "great building on the
hill" ready for the long session of Con
gress, which convenes the first Monday
In December. That portion of the Capi
tol occupied by the- United States Su
preme Court was cleaned and garnished
by October 7, when the Justices began
their Winter work, as constitutionally
authorized. . Since then all of -the Jus
tices from 'the venerable chief. Honora
ble Melville Wl Fuller, to the junior ap
pointee. Honorable " William H. Moody,
have been In regular attendance. "Silence
In the courtroom, the Judge is going to
speak," was never more thoroughly im
pressed upon the "galleries" than in our
National Court of - Last Appeal,- where
even the whisperer's room-Is worth more
than his company. -,
But however painful the decorum, the
United States Supreme-Court is a cease
less source of Interest to American citi
zens, and is the one place never dese
crated by vandal hand. The monument
Is chipped, statues marreS. pieces cut
from furniture-and hangings of the Sen
ate and House, names scratched on mar
ble and even on the famous bronze doors
of the Capitol, but whether or not the
Court is in session, a ceremonial air of
justice permeates the entire room and Is
sufficiently, powerful to hold In eheck the
most ruthless vandal that ever visited a
public building. Statesmen tiptoe about
the place, members of the bar step as
though walking on velvet and with all
who enter the almost sacred portal, there
is reverence for the high tribunal whose
decisions are judicial authority for the
United States. - . ... f
A peep into the Supreme Court cham
ber discloses nine men of dignified bear
ing, sitting on a' circular elevated plat
form, behind a solid rail. Lower down.
In small space, are several tables re
served for lawyers permitted to practice
before the Court. On the same level Is
short sleeves. The fullness of the
kirt is turned loose at the hip-line
from many little. knife pleats, and the
whole costume Is admirably adapted to
the slight figure of the average grow
ing school girl.
No. l' shows the- little Thespian in
another of her daintiest and most
fetching school costumes a simple
"Peter Pan" suit of serviceable gray, in
nixed wool goods. The frock ia with
out trimming of any sort, being fin

with machine stitching. The flutter
ing bow tie worn with this suit by
Miss Bernard is of cherry silk.
a row of circular seats for spectators,
and in niches "behind these are marble
busts of former Chief Justices.
Precisely at noon each week day ex
cept.,Saturday, when the Court Is in ses
sion, the members of the Court, the
Chief Justice at their head, with the
black silk robes wrapped about them,
march single file. In solemn procsslon
from the consultation room, across the
corridor, through the lobby of the Court
to their places on the bench. The crier
calls out the usual summons to attention
and concludes with "God save the United
States and this honorable body." From
that moment the utmost formality pre
vails, but never a sign of pomp or splen
dor about the august body so eulogized
by Gladstone and other European pub
licists of distinction.
-
Though Jurists who reach the altitude
of the United States Supreme Court are
ail conceded to be mental giants, there is
great contrast in their physical size.
Some, like Justices Peckham and
McKenna, are below the average stature
of man. while their colleagues. Jus
tice White and Justice Harlan, are
as big physically as they are mentally.
Judging by little acts of every day life,
the heart of each measures well "up to
the popular -.estimate of his brain, and
there is plenty of human nature even
under the Judicial robe. The yearly sal
ary of these men Is only $12.500 less than
many lawyers make on a single case, and
yet the Supreme Bench is thought wor
thy the ambition of the greatest mem
bers of the bar.
The wives of these men are the social
leaders of Washington's most permanent
official set, for Presidents may come and
Presidents may go, followed by Congress
men and Senators at the rate of a thou
sand In ten years, but the Supreme Court
Judge goes on ..until death puts an end
to his career, or personal Inclination
"I have just lived in this outfit for
weeks at a time," said the little actress
as she perched on the arm of a chair
for the photo. "It's Just the handiest
thing ever, and it wears and wears
and wears, and one never tires of it.
It's so comfy, and loose, and yet it
doesn't look half bad, now, doe It?"
An emphatic negative' was promptly
forthcoming from all present, for no
picture could . have' been -daintier or
more pleasing than that presented by
the Iittl miss fn gray perched upon
the chair arm: "
"And now here's something for the
Oregon rain," said Miss Dorothy, as
caused by 111 health prompts him to re
sign the honorable position. At the age
of 70 years he may., retire on a two-thirds
salary, though few avail themselves of
the privilege, and thus strike another
blow to "the Osier theory. , ; ...
In. this, material age it is interesting to
note how large a part religion,, has -in the
life of. Uncle Sara's. Supreme Court
Judges. Chief. Justice. Fuller Is a vestry
man in St. John's Episcopal-Church: Jus
tice Harlan, , who has served longest on
the bench, is president of the American
Society for Religious Education and a
leader In Presbyterianism; Justice
Brewer, born of missionary parents in
Asia Minor, Is a 'Congregationallst, and
a regular teacher In the Sunday school
of his church; Justice McKenna, of Cali
fornia,. Is' a devout Catholic; Justices
White and Oliver Wendell Holmes have
tendencies in the same direction; Justice
Peckham is an active Episcopalian, and
Justice Day a Methodist, like his friend
and fellow townsman, the late President
McKinley. Justice Moody being a bach
elor, the color of his religious persuasion
is not so well known, but he frequents
the Episcopal 'places of worship.
In the early days of the Court Its mem
bers resided under a common roof and
dally dined together, discussing over the
table questions which were argued be
fore them during the day. Later they
occupied individual homes located with
in a stone's throw of each other and of
the Capitol. Today they are scattered
over the city, but the close bond of re
lationship Is the same. An injury to one
is an injury to all.
That simplicity which made Washing
ton society famous, but which Is fast
becoming only a tradition, still marks
the life or the Supreme Court circle. To
be sure, its members no longer carry
home their own market baskets, and
thereare now no young people to make
things lively around their doors, yet there
Is nothing verging on display, but rather
a subtle elegance emanating from within
and silently Impressing every one to
whom It extends. The social eminence
of the Court circle Is best Illustrated by
the fact-that the Chief Justice need only
make a "first call" upon he President
she emerged from the dressing-room
with a red "Tarn o Shanter" airily top
ping her fluffy head, and her hands
thrust boyishly into the two pockets
of a red jersey Jacket. "If you know
of any scnool girl that hasn t a jersey
jacket, you tell her to coax her daddy
to get her one. Why, they are warmer
than the best coat ever made, and
they are so light and nice. too. Then,
besides, look at these pockets? Aren't
they just dandy? Caramels, lead pen
cils, raisins, nuts why, even a nice,

'Notiiing elaborate, nothing fussy,

admonition, as sue raced off to a re

the marriage of Miss Mabel Merriam,
daughter of the ex-Governor of Minne

which took place In old St. John's

followed by a largely attended reception
at the Sixteenth-street home of the
bride's parents. A feature of the serv

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 19. Charles M.

was "sSi Francisco's Industrial Situation

Most important of the- direct statements
made by Mr. Schwab was that, after
looking the ground oxer carefully, he has
decided not only to continue the Union
Iron Works, but to modernize that ship
building and structural plant at a cost of
tl.ooo.000 or more and to enlarge its ca
pacity. This announcement threw his

Mr. Schwab declared that the condi

unusual and abnormal scale of prices
for labor Imposed by the unions upon

fidence as between themselves and In
the integrity of the courts mint be re

way in which labor unions are admin

has before it a future greater In Indus

achievements than In its past.
After his address Mr. Schwab, In
reply to a question, asked the Associ

"My recent criticism regarding Ne

not criticised and do not criticise the
citizens of that state. My criticisms
were directed solely against the men
