A Novelty In women's Drcss


Since extravaganza in stockings has
come back TO us again, and silk hosiery
Is almost a criterion of the woman of fash
ion. of course something must be worn to
preserve these silken luxuries from
wear and soil, when walking in the dusty
and dingy city. Wool that Is knitted may
be warm, but 1t Is not hindrance to the
entrance of dust. 1t rather holds than re-
jects the soiling, while fine broadcloth or
velvet. that Is both linen and rubber lined,
Is certain protection against water and
mud.
Leggings OF these materials are made
TO reach up and curve upon the knee,
and are fitted about the foot like gentle
mans gaiter, with strap under the foot.
They button up Oh the outside of the leg,
and are carefully fitted to the wearer by
front and back seams. They are some
times bound on the lower edge with IA
dark fur, which gives the foot chubby
and youthful appearance. For spring
wear they are quite as 'quste as for the
winter. With short quilted silk or satin
pctticoat and an Ulster coat of rough
cloth, they look very coquettish OH o cold
or stormy day. Any lady can make them
for herself.
They should be fitted like any garment,
and being bound with braid, the jet but
tons and button-holcs may be- added.
They should be adjusted SO perfectly that
a button-hook would be- required 10 ias-
ten them over the boot aud about the

expired. The system of rules pre-
scsibed for legislation is well caIcu-
lated to prevent the passage of laws
by means of the tricks which are
often resorted to in order TO conceal
the real purpose of Objectionable
bills. From the introduction of q
bill to it's final naturalization, it is
surrounded by safeguards against
fraud. Each different bill must be
read on three different days to each
House, and this rule cannot be sus-
pended. Every amendment must
be incorporated with the bill which,
as thus amended, must be printed
before final action can be taken up
on 1t. And If bill is lost by the
vote on its final passage, it cannot
be given e new lease of life by the
old trick of o motion to reconsider
the vote, thus affOrding an oeportu-
nifty for the application Of lobby in
fiuences, for any such motion must
be finally disposed of as soon as it
ia made. But it is in regard to the
collection and expenditure of the
public funds that the most stringent
articles in this Constitution have
been framed. Under these, until
the interest on the public debt, the
necessary items for the sinking fund,
for public schools and charities and
for the payment of public officers,
other than the members of the leg
islature, are provided for, no appro-
priations can be made. Then the
general assembly may provide for
its own pay, and make such other
appropriations as are not prohibited
by the Constitution. But they cam
not give or lend the credit or mon

whatsoever, nor can they authorize
any subordinate authority, such as
a court, q county, or municipality,
to do So; nor can they remit any
claim-which the public may have.

Farmer" in the Atchison Cham
pion, in advocating a narrow guage
road from that city to Arkansas
City, via Council Grove, starts out
with the figuratiye statement that
the distance between the first two
points is 200 miles, and makes his
estimate on that basis. We are in
formed that by the route he de-
scribes, the distance, measured in
perfectly straight lines, from point
to point, is 235 miles. Adding
curves, it is probable that the road
bed would have to be at least 250
miles. So palpable an error in a
matter where accuracy was SO easily
obtainable, prevents US from repos-
ing confidence in the correctness oil
"Farmer's" other estimates.
