TRAVELLING AND OUT DOOR WEAR.

The newest travelling dresses in preparation
are made OF dark mixed tweed or Connaught
serge, both light in texture though very SER
viceable. The suit consists OF a skirt which Is
Duttoned on and Is not new, but has never been
improved upon for this purpose, and a sort of
ulster coat with or without cape and hood.
The coat is transformable into two or three
garments. AS a coat 1t may be worn over any
dress or skirt through the spring, and by means
OF thick cord may be raised SO as to shorten
the skirt and give 1t a more dressy effect. The
skirt lowered and the cape and hood added, a
complete and very effective travelling ulster Is
Obtained, which. with the skirt, Is sufficient
costume for voyage across the Atlantic, and
one that could hardly be improved upon for the
purpose
All the new outdoor wraps follow the "Mother
Hubbard" pattern 10 the gathering upon the
neck and sleeves, and the miniature garments
OF this description on the soft brOcadad silks,
the light clothes trimmed with steel beaded
fringe. and the satins richly finished With
beaded passementerie. buttoned and beaded
Spanish lace. and fringes OF intricate and et-
fscttve designs, are not only quaint, bit as
luxurious as IL seems possible to make them !;
quite in accord with the odd cap shaped yet
elegant DoDnets, and the short. rich costumes
for which satin is more used than any other
fabric. JENNY JUNE.

This bill has been unanimously ad-
vapced on the Supreme Court docket,
and now will be considered on Its
merits.
We hopo tho Court will not give
this measure its formal sanction. The
rate Of settlement which it represents
ignores the equities to which tho State
is entitled as claimed by the dem5c
racy from the inception Of the move
ment for payment Of the debt, and n,
admitted by the creditor in every
proposition for compromise. Mere
over, the 1908 bin is a republican
partv measure, formulated for the pur-
pose of creating divisions ia the demo
cratic party, and has haHging around
it the n'iserably disgusting odUr Of
bribery and corruption.
Our state credit loyalty teaches that
the State should be protected from
the exacting burdens of this measure,
which rather outrages than preserves
.the public faith.
This bill has no claim Rpou dem
.ocratie support. 1t was not provided
for in the democratic platform, but is
Ithe legitimate offspring of republican
ingenuity. The Democracy sought Il
just and fair compromise as the re-
suit Of negotiation between creditor
and debtor. but this bill is an enforced
settlement without conference with
the creditor, and ono which is tainted
with thel lime of wroug-doing
We hope the Court wIllremand II
to the people tSd further and final ac,
ton. If this should DO done, then, in
that LuPreme moment, it Will be the
high mission Of distracted Gs.aoc
rncy TO become once more united, and
resolved to settle the debt on basis
mutually satisfactory TO both creditor
and debtor. Let the factions lay
aside their pet schemes asto the rate O
payment, and come together as a re-
united democracy, determined OH Al
equitable adjustment, and it can aHC
will be done. In this way, jugticC
will be indicated and republican
ascendancy in Tennessee will b,
