Picture Gowns.

picture gowns''-that is what they
call the ideal dresses made by the So
ciety of Associated Artists in London,
which is composed of gentlewomen tech
nically trained in the reproduction of
quaint, picturesque and historical cos
tunes adapted to modern needs. The
aim and purpose of the society, which
was organized by former secretary of
the royal school of art needlework,
is the combination of artistic ma
terials in graceful and Individually
becoming costumes. All the soft, beau
tifully new fabrics, the rich furniture
brocades with touches of embroidery to
bring. out the designs, all manner of
artistic needlework and rich metallic
embro3ideries, vests of goffered silks and
satin brocades that, as the phrase goes,
'stand by themselves" are h andled
lovingly and POLITICALLY by these women
with trained artistic faculties.
This is a picture gown designed for a
house dress: Soft folds of gray-green
wool fall in artistic lines, fitting to the
figure and sweeping the floor ih the
back. The entire front is of cleaning
gold brocade on a shot grey-green
ground, brought in loose folds from the
left shoulder and armhole to far back
on the right side. The high Medici
collar, lined with the brocade, is
folded back a little from the bare throat,
and stiff epaulets of the brocade rise
high on the shoulders. Fan plaitings
of the silk are inserted at intervals
about the bottom of the skirt, which
fold and unfold as the wearer walks, Civ
ing peculiar shimmering and brilliant
effect. A beautiful and graceful woman
in picturesque and faultless dress of
this description would confer great
favor on the world, or at least that part
of it which was so fortunate as to be-
hold her.-[New York Sun.

Reed Champions Federal Election


Speaker Reeds speech at Pittsburg
than anything he has said in Washing
roundlv in favor of federal election law,
and dout-Shermaned Sherman in the opin-
ion that congress can do nearly what it
pleases in the matter of laws affecting the
elections. As Mr.. Reed has so far been
the boss of the house, it would. seem
from his Pittsburg expression that he
tions passed at the present session of
congress. His speech will have a ten
dency to change the views of good
many people who have lately drifted to
the idea that there would, after all the
talk, be no congressional action of
this kind. Mr.. Reed, however, is
not surely keeping his grip on the
house. He has been trying to push the
business so as to accomplish adjourn
ment during the month of June, but has
encountered opposition. Though he
has had his way about everything else,
opinion is about evenly divided as to
whether congress can be closed
up in June or not. If
a. federal election bill is
to be passed there will be good deal of
delay, for debate cannot be abridged in
the senate. A gentleman well posted
said tonight that federal election bill
would pass, but that it would not be
the Lodge bill, but the Hoar bill in
the senate. The Lodge bill provides
for the Australian ballot system, while
the Hoar bill leaves the matter to the
states.
The passage of the bill by the senate
first, if it is none early, would expedite
the business, for it can be pushed
through the house under the gag which
is complacently called the rule of the
majority.-[Cincinnati Enquirer.

PARIS, May 1S.-At the trial of the
copper syndicate men it has been proved
that Secretan, as director of the Societe

for 1887 and used improper
means to bull copper, raising the price

1000 francs, and clearing within two

is that the article of the penal code on
which the change is based does not
apply. Hentsch, on being examined,

with the Societe des Metaux. He also
