FORT WORTH. Tex, July 10.-The State
convention of Alliance representatives, op-
posed to the sub-treasury movement and
the attempt to bag the Alliance for the
third party. met this morning. about three
hundred being present, including many
leading Alliance men of the State. Plans
are being arranged for an active organized
movement TO oppose the propaganda of the
third party, which has made dangerous in
roads upon the Texas Alliance.
T.. w. Bragg presided over the convention,
which was called to order this afternoon.
In his address he said that If any delegate
was present who favored the sub-treasury
scheme or the formation of the third party
that delegate would ind more congenial
political companiOnship in some other fold.
These sentiments were heartily applauded.
and all che delegates remained in the hall.
Committees were then appointed, and the
convention adjourned temporarily.

THE SHOP GIRL IN BLACK.
Gay Dresses Now Ruled Out of Big Stores
A Question of Harmonies.

uhy lISDScS " huftu Oub oi DIX StOIc8-
A Question of Harmonies.
Philadelphia Record.
Those who are in the habit of doing a
great deal of shopping have no doubt
noticed the almost universal prevalence
OF black in the attire of saleswomen. This
fact 10 the outcome of a rule which Is
strictly infOrced IN all the large stores,
with one or two notable exceptions. The
casual inquirer who has noticed this state
of affairs is generally answered with the
equivOcatlng truth that o dress OF homo
geneous black harmonizes quietly with any
cOl0red goods q girl maj be selling. and for
that reason is desirable.
Perhaps the superintendent of another
store will tell yOu that the rule Is enforced
for the sake of uniformity. he will add
that all successful merchants owe their
success TO q system, and that uniformity is
the basis of all system.
These answers are true so far as they 60,
but they do not give the true reason for en-
forcing q rule which is not only distateful
TO . majority of the shop girls. but is also
expensive as we'll. A bright young lady
who Is employed in the largest store in the
city explained the matter thoroughly.
You will notice." said she. that the
rule regarding the wearing of black is not
enforced in this store, except In the cloak
department.. 1t Is enforced in that deuart-
ment for the reason that black will har-
monte with any kind of cloak or wrap.
and as the girls are compelled TO try on
Clocks. wraps anu SACKS Ior custouers,. you
will readily see why black is preferable to
any other color. But this 10 not considered
q hardship, because the firm furnishes the
dress goods for cloak department sales
women.
Now in all the other departments, in
which hundreds of girls are employ red, the
rule ID that nothing must be worn but
quiet. subdued colors. The nearest ap-
proach to black we wear the better are our
superiors suited. In all this army of girls
it is impossible to lave every one of the
best moral character. While j insist that
