collar and in the cuffs. Few outside pockets
are seen, but occasionally they are made quite
effective as trimmings By being cut IN long
square-coruered shape, and placed on the edge
Of the basque. where they hang like bag.
Small faurr plaids Of wool and silk com-
bined are also used for trimming plain
wool dresses. Those with much red mud
gold on olive grounds trim effectively. Gen
darme blue wool Is trimmed with bars OF pale
blue, olive, and Old gold on dark blue ground.
The newest aud wartnest-lookng trimming Is
silk plush of the same shade as the dress, used
for panels, borders, and vests, and for strloes
down tile front OF the skirt between box-pleats.
The pleatcd skirts show every variety worn
during the summer, hut there arc two styles
most often repeated, VIZ: that for tall figure
has three sdc-plcated flounces covering The front
breadtns horizontally, while that liked bV short
er Is lies has the re;qiensc plent'ng extend ng
straight from belt to toot down to the front
and sides. Few skirts are pleated all
around in kilt fashion, vet very lew
are seen without being plcated some
where. The fashion OF the deep square Roman
apron covering the front and sides, whi'e the
back Is covered bv two, three, Or four pleatngs,
vii! remain In favor.
For pieatings TO border skirts, clusters will he
greatly used. Wncn contrasting materials form
the trimming, clusters OF Dleats OF the gay
trimming will alternate with others Of the plain
material chosen for the dress. Box p1cats will
also be fashionable for borders, hnd these will
be wide or narrow according to fancy. The
tabs and revers Of satin like the trim ming so
popular last winter are repeated On new French

Mr.. Clapp, of Shelby county, has
introduced the following resolution
in the Senate of this State:
Resolved, By the General Assem-
bly, of the State of Tennessee, that it
is not the wish or purpose of the
people of Tennessee, or of their rep
resentatives here assembled, to re-
pudiate or evadea any just obligation
or liability of the State, but it is
their earnest desire to relieve her,
if practicable, of her present finan-
cial embarrassment, by an adjust
ment of her Indebtedness upon an
equitable basis, and to withdraw
the subject from the arena of poll
tics.
Resolved, That any proposition
for a settlement of our State debt
emanating from our creditors, that
the people of Tennessee are able to
comply with will receive our prompt
and respectful consideration, but
such a proposition To warrant its
acceptance must be made with ref
erence to the impoverished cOndi-
ton of our people, to the loss and
shrinkage of property values, the
stagnatiOn of trade, the want of en-
plOyment, and the present inability
to pay any portion Of the principal
| or to provide for more than a re-
duced rate of interest.
