Battle of the Socks.

There was another interesting scene be-
fore the Ways and Means Committee yester-
day. This time il was battle over socks,
long and short, but especially of the fine va
riety. This seems TO have been somewhat
OF surprise party, too. There has not been
much apparent disturbance in the mercan-
tile arena over the cotton features Of the
Mckinley bill, and il dissatisfaction exist
ed il was almost lost sight Of in the great
hue and cry over wool. This time the i'm

IL Is one of the leading cotton industries OF
this city, and there are many other sections
Of the country where millions OF capital are
thus employed and where thousands OF ope-
raliyes earn a good livelihood. But all this
is not enough. The present tariff OF 40 per
cent. is the highest ever known, but
more is demanded in order 10 keep the
mills going and to satisf, their owners and
operators. In this tight the Philadelphia
manufacturers. unlike their brethren
OF the carpet industry, earnestly sus-
tain the Committees action. But they
answer the charge that this increase in rates
will bear hard upon the people in general,
by explaining that IL is only intended TO
keep out foreign made goods of a superior
character and enable them TO get grip on
the "slk-siocking crowd" that now turn up
their noses at American-made goods. They
propose 20 compel this new kind of Ameri-

Here is another fete dress OF lavender
faille. Under the light it glistenS and
takes a pinkiSh tone. 1t IS big Splen-
did blonde who crOucheS ut its feet ana
adjusts the skirt that she may faSten Il
border Of pink ostrich feathers held at
intervals by great Spray-like appllqueS
CT black velvet. IL Is Just The frock that
this particular blonde ought TO wear.
The bodice is cut in point and is COW
cred by iichu of pale lavender crepe
laid in plaits and hanging loose, almost
like shawl. There are plated sleeves,
and over the back OF the chair wrltheS
and twists 4 big innocent snake of a
pink ostrich boa.
Here is the costume for the mother OF
the BRIDE 1t is rich silver gray vel
vet, cut severely en- princess, but it has
a high Tudor collar made of wide
piece Of rare old point de Nenise and
wired TO stand up Stifliy al the back oil
the neck and roll away in front over
pointed stomacher OF silver satin deli
cately wrought with silver embroidery.
The collar fronts taper to the waist and
the velvet sleeves are so long that the
lace cuffs reach over the hands. About
the bottom of the skirt runs wide
| band OF sable.
/ At the dancing tea" at Sherry'S the
other day appeared number of pretty
gowns. One was pale pink crepe de
Chine. The bodice was cut Ia VERGE,
with the decOlletage formed by lot of
/ little tuckS at the throat, these being
held in at the waist by belt OF gold
and silver embroidery. This belt itself
was a very pretty thing-quite deep un-
der the arms, but narrowing to a tiny
point in front so as to give a N-shaped
effect TO the tucked bodice. From the
point of the belt fell two long ends OF
the embroidery, like ribbons woven OF
silver and hung with frosted gold and
silver seQuinS. The skirt was laid from
waist to hem with tiny plaits and edged
with the glittering ribbon. The elbow
sleeves were graceful in cut and dotted
here and there with sequinS.
An indefatigable dancer wore very
pale green crepe lisSe draped over gold
colored satin. The half low bodice was
edged with pink roSebudS and heath,
and clusters of these flowers fluttered
loose and held the gauzy folds at the
waist and the floating skirt draperies.

back breadths were of black velvet
which extended up each shoulder. The
sides were plated like fans on either
side OF the velvet front, and were
slightly draped on the hips to form fiat
paniers. About the hem ran rose
ruching. The bodice had an odd but
pretty yoke of velvet pulled in u
manner dangerous to any but a
slender woman. Below the yoke
the waist was plated TO point and
tasted by button. The sleeves had
velvet bands at the wrists, and In the
armholes were set notwithstanding
standing frills. There was a Medici
collar and little velvet bonnet with
bird and pompon. The shopper carried
one of those odd, new umbrellas which
have dangling red cherries hanging BY
ribbons TO the cherrywood handle, and
when she moved away the saleswoman
followed with her eyes. Perhaps IL was
because the shopper was pretty, but
more probably it was because the sales
woman understood her innocent little
game. So many women who have MIN
BILE fingers steal with their eyes the
saleSwoman's Christmas novelties.

to Mrs Kendall. 1t was a straight robe
of very pale lemon-tinted velvet with
a short jacket of black velvet edged
with a narrow band of yellow sable fur.
Two great panels of black velvet opened
over the lemon-colored petticoat in a
direct line of continuance with the
jacket. With this costume was worn a
broad hat of black velvet with white
and lemon-tinted ostrich plumes.
Threading its way through the crowd
ed ranks of the pedestrians noticed
this afternoon dress of grayish-green
and gray plaidS, bordered with curly as
trakan. The skirt fell in perfectly plain
straight panels, and the bodice was fin
ished with an astrakan vest and soft
high folds of gray silk ut the throat
matching the gray bonnet with grayish-
green pomponS.
