A Hint For the Economical

A good way to lengthen the skirt OF
an autumn dress of wool that is too
short for the present overlong style is
to let down the hem and press it, or. If
there is no hem. to piece down the skirt
with any strong material thus making
it the re quired length Then purchase
some new fabric; for instance. a COIN
dotted cashmere or q cloth barred OK
tufted with rough camefs hair. Cut
this into deep bias strip as long as
the dress is full, or. in other words.
that will reach all around the bottom
of the skirt, like border. This can be
made just wide enough to cover the
piece that has heightened the skirt.
Stimulating reversed hem. or it can be
made very deep. to reach half way up
the length Of the skirt. If liked Add
vest, puffs on the shoulders and cuffs
of the new fabric In case the gown
to be revamped is of figured material,
use handsome unpatterned wool for the
fresh trimmings. Silk gowns may ba
similarly treated-Chieago Post

New and Attractive Dresses For Stree
Wear.

New and Attractive Dresses For Street
Wear.
If very light gray was the fashion
last spring, dark gray is the fashion
now. If the gray is SO dark and SO blue
in tint that it seems almost like steel
color, SO much the more fashionable
does it become. Fancy yourself dressed
in a gown like this: A long plain
habit skirt of dark gray, brocaded in
steel color, set SO closely about your
figure that you are walking as if
portierre were drawn about you The
back of the skirt is very full and is
trained just sufficiently to sweep
slightly upon the ground. The skirt is
lined with silk and rustles as you walk.
For a waist you have a 1ong-tailed,
coat-like bodice of the same, brocaded
with jabot effect upon the lapels.
The vest is dark gary velvet of the
color of the groundwork of the coat.
and there is tall standing collar with
steel clasp upon it Steel buttons ara
used upon the front of the vest
Your hat is very dark felt, with q
putting of black velvet around it and
black velvet strings Gray bows and
gray dove wings are used for trim
mings- Gray gloves, stitched with
black, are worn also.
Is not that a pretty gown, and is il
not becoming to you. no matter what
your style may be?
Perhaps you may not care for the
brocade. Many ladies do not, especially
if they are inclined to stoutness In
that case you will get plain, gray cloth.
and trim the cuffs. collar and lapels
with steel passementerie, allowing q
band or two of the same around the
foot of the skirt
Such garments as these are completes
in themselves and do not require the
long fashionable feather boa, and, in
deed. such a dress looks better without
one The boa is worn only for orna-
ment and it hangs down in long,
useless way, which, though pretty. be-
coming and graceful. is not serviceable
when warmth is considered There
fore, one should consider the complete
ness of ones toilet before adding the
feather ornament and should decide
whether or not the gown is more FASH
ionable in effect without it
The plain. tailor-made gowns, tig hi
fitting at the waist, without ruffles or
founces upon the bodice, and un-
trimmed save by passementerie. galoon
or braiding, are the ones which call for
the boa, which has then a remarkably
pretty effect drawn about the neck
and hanging down the front, giving the
appearance of afeather-trimmed gown

ON THE RESULTS.
Democratic Comment on the State
Elections
Tho Outcome Regarded . Wen Earned
Victory - An Encouraging Out
look for the Presidential
Campaign.
-Four Out of Five.

In the five states that voted for gov.
errors yesterday the victory was to
four democrats. These are: In New
York, Roswell p. Flower; in Massa-
chusetts, William e. Russell {reelect-
ed); in Iowa, Horace Boies (reelected)
and in Maryland. Frank Bowen. Maj.
Mckinley is elected in Ohio over Gov.
Campbell.
In three Of the states personal con-
siderations had doubtless much to do
with the result In Massachusetts, this
is particularly the case, for it is ques-
tionable if there is another man who
might have been nominated by the
democrats who has a personal follow
ing equal to that of Gov. Russell His
one years tenure Of Office had more.
over confirmed the good opinion in
which his friends held him. A year
ago he defeated Gov. Bracket, the
representative of the wheel-horse
republicans; this year he was
pitted against and won the race over
the candidate put forward by the young
republicans. The fact that he is the
only one of the democratic nominees
elected emphasizes all this. In Iowa
two years conservative administration
pleasing personality, has secured
Gov. Boies a second term. Maj. Nc
Kinley in Ohio had odds in his favor
from the beginning. Not only is he a
man who commands the respect of po-
litical opponents and the heartiest sup
port of those in accord with him ON
party questions, but his competitor.
Gov. Campbell, had arrayed against
him a powerful element in the demo-
cratic party, the corrupt ring of Ham
ilton county, with whose plans he had
interfered.
Mr.. Flowers victory in New York is
In spite of peculiarly venomous fight
waged upon him by a large number of
republican journals of that state. Per
haps the very wantonness of ibelous
assertion worked as its own antidote.
The facts that Mr.. Fassett was known
assPlatt's alter ego and that he was a
federal officeholder when the state con-
vention nominated him for governor
may also have helped materially to
bring about the result. The voters of
New York state are peculiarly and
justly jealous of anything that savors
of national interference in state affairs.
One gratifying result of the voting in
Maryland is that it insures the return
of Arthur p. German to the United
States senate. In that legislative body
he has shown for the most part cor
rect conception of national issues, and
in at least one critical period approved
himself a capable leader of men. His
fight against the force bill in the last
congress will not be soon forgotten.
The republicans have gained one
member of the house of representatives
out of the six districts in which cleo
tions were held to fill vacancies caused
by death or resignation. That was
in the Fifth Michigan district. where
Mr.. Belknap was elected to succeed the
late M. E. Ford, who defeated him a
year ago. Otherwise there is no change
in the relative standing of the parties
in congress- Chicago Post.

Poor Pennsylvania


Pennsylvania has elected the repub-
Ecan candidates for treasurer and aud
itor by a fair majority, thus indicating
that the great mass of republicans of
that state care more for party than for
principle. and care little for fragrant
dishonesty in high public officers pro-
vided it be condoned by the action of a
partisan convention. Some falling off
there was from the normal republican
majority in the state. That was inev-
table because of the revolt of Phila.
delphia republicans. But this is faint
cheer for those who hoped for the
renaissance of honest politics in a state
around which cluster SO many mem
cries of much that is ennobling in our
national history. Quay and Cameron,
backed by the corruption funds drawn
from protected manufacturers, still
hold Pennsylvania in their grasp.-Chi-
cago Times.

put forward to secure the election of
the high tariff champion, he would
have been sent to join Fassett. Wheel
er and Allen in the political limbo.
The general result realized the most
san guine hopes of the tariff reformers
To secure three-fourths of the most inn
portant states and most of the others
is a victory for free trade at once graf
flying and significant. It places in the
rank OF extremely doubtful republican
states both Iowa and Massachusetts,
and strengthens the democratic hold
on New York. With these states in
line in the great campaign of next fall
the defeat of McKinleyism and high
tariff is assured -Chicago Globe.

The s'Tammany Tiger" Issue

New York is Overwhelmingly demo-
cratic. Roswell P. Flower has carried
the empire state by a large majority
over the republican nominee, j. Sloat
Fassett The comparisons made in
the dispatches are with Hills plurality
in 1888 and gains are shown every
where throughout the state. Mr.. Fas-
sets campaign was made largely on
the ''Tammany tiger" issue. This was
designed to stir up the rural party of
the state against the metropolis. This
plan Of campaign, however, has prove n
signally unsuccessful Flower has
gained more relatively in the country
than he has gained in the city, and has
made a remarkable race. The efforts
to stir up dissatisfaction in Kings coun-
ty was also a failure. for Kings county
gave the largest democratic plurality
that it has given in many years.
The New York victory is clear and
decisive. 1t places the state casting
the most electoral votes securely in
the democratic column
With all discussions healed the de-
mocracy of New York will march on
to victory in 1892. Detroit Free Press.
