seasons of the year when
bargains in certain goods can best be
obtained. For instance, all the wise
virgins possessed of but limited means,
who had the courage to walk out on
Easter in their old garments, and re-
frain from buying any spring goods
until after that festive day, are now
well repaid for their sacrifice. The
stores are crowded with table after
table full of spring goods, displayed at
prices that Nyould amaze one. And
they're not common material either.
Most OF them are cheviots in some form
or other, soft and agreeable to the
touch. They can be had in all the pretty,
indefnable light shades that are so
much worn ut present, pale blue gray,
dark iron gray, pinky fawn, genuine
fawn and soft mixed colors. The checks
are pretty also, but not, to my mind, SO
effective as the plain colors.
Now let me plan few costumes from
those cheviots. I think l can bring
them down within the means of almost
every woman, for have given the sub
ject rather careful consideration, to say
nothing of the expedicncies to which l
myself have been put on one or two oc-
casions. l shall start at the bottom of
the ladder, viz: with the very lowest
priced spring costume that can plan.
And here let me remark, by the way,
that these same spring costumes are
not going to look poor or cheap in the
least; for, after all, the material from
which dress is made is only q minor
consideration. 1t is the similarity of
the style to the figure that wears it, the
cut, the fit and, last of all, the color,
that makes or mars the costume Have
the dress correct on these points and
your material will be pretty sure to
look well if it IS of moderately good
quality. BE particular about the color
and the shade of the color; for be
your dress made up ever so fash
ionably, it will not look well
if the shade is unbecoming. So many
people buy thing because it is ''such a
lovely shade" But, alas! it may look
far from lovely" when made up and
Iorn, unless careful attention is paid

under the bodice and fall long, fully
half way down the skirt.
II one objects to cheviot on the
ground of its weight and warmth there
are plenty of other materials ut not
very much higher price. Crepon, for
instance, that on its arrival in our city
cost us between 81 and IS yard, per-
fectly plain, can now be had-and Il
very good quality it is, too-for rs
cents. Still, If one is inclined to be ex-
travagant, there is yet plenty in the
market for 81 and SIS q yard. Then there
are those combination suitings, which
come in very beautiful colorings, in
stripes so fine and gradual in their
shading that they melt one into the
other. They are very wide and can be
bought for % cents yard. 1t is IN
economy to get them. They can be
made up with but little extra trim
ming and arc SO fine and soft that they
can be worn even on occasions where
one desires to look particularly nice.
The soft old rose and dull green's arc
the very prcttiest in this material.

lCOffhiGiT, lov-.
Well, I have just returned from an
extended shopping tour, and am very
decidedly OF the opinion that woman
who can't dress well on almost nothing,
in New York, has not a bit of ingenuity
or inventivencss or observation, for of
all places to get genuine out-and-out
bargains. New York certainly stands at
the head. Of course, all ''sales" are
not bargains. 1t is not possible to walk
through the shops on any day in the
year without encountering at least two
or three special sales in each one. And
a woman must be CLEVER and closely OBJ
servant, or she will be apt, if she in
dulges in bargains, as most women do
TO be deceived very often. But if tho
deceived one perseveres, and goes forth
again with increased watchfulness,
she may be rewarded by good

Suggestion That the Farmers Alliance
May Control Electoral College.
New YORK, .Tune 2l.-The World
prints the following from Chicago: A
question OF great importance.and one that
Is now receiving the careful attention OF
Democratic leaders. is the possibility that
in the election next November the So
called third party may succeed in carry
ing enough states TO control the balance
OF power in the electoral college.
Lawrence Gardner. secretary OF the
Democratic congressional campaign COM
mittee. has given this subject great deal
OF thought, and has made some significant
figures showing the possible outcome OF a
chain of circumstances which might throw
the choice of the next president into the
hons, of representatives, under the opera
tion Of the constitutional provision.
To the World correspondent Mr. Gard
ner said The third party is composed
of the Farmers Alliance and many other
smaller organizations, the membership Of
which is largely made up of agricultural
lists and laboring men. IL will hold its
national convention ut Omaha next
month. A presidential ticket will be put
in the field, and in number OF western
and southern states full tickets of state
officers will also be nominated.
This would give an aggregate Of forty
nine votes and would ensure absolute con-
troll Of the action Of the electoral college.
But even with a smaller number of cleo
toral votes the third party leaders will be
able To throw the election into the house.
1t is, therefore, highly important for US
to prepare to meet the plans now being
made to strengthen and perpetuate an Or
ganization which is drawing its vote in
several states largely from the Democratic
nnrty
