the evening of April 81 met at the Hotel Wal

up the burden OF arranging all the details of
their projected functions
To many of them, however, the outcome of
the meeting was like dash Of cold water in the
face. The mayors committee OF 100 simply
took charge Of the whole business, relieving the
chamber Of commerce. the swells and every
one else Of all authority and responsibility
The chairman stated that information had
been received that the mayor was about to ap
point committee of 100 citizens, many OF
already proposed by the promoters OF the ball.
He deemed it unwise to proceed further in the
matter OF organization until after a meeting Of
the committee Of managers with a similar COM

This suggestion was approved aud the chair

The round bodice fitted the form closely and
was confined at the waist line with carelessly

was stitched piece OF lace, forming decol-

Grace Leads to Awkwareness, Beauty to

Philosophers have argued concerning the
origin of fashion; politicians have legislated
upon it to bring order out of chaos, but it still
defes the logical mind of man.
Fashions sequences are always unexpected;
its orbits are like those of erratc comets that
follow some law which nobody can formulate.

Nevertheless, the popular tide sets the other

for long time to come. Eighty-five women in

played in shop windows and those which spread

Evening Dress for Young Girls Tends To-

Satin, as q fabric for evening gowns on
maidens. can no longer simmer with the
proud distinction Of being first in the field
OF favor. A humber rival with modest
colors has entered the contest and bids fair
to win the favor of the ephemerai summer

The indications may be summed thus:
Satins are extremity popular, but they have
begun to appear in marked down sales
and upon bargain counters at great reduc-

be, are displayed crepons, silk crepons, wool
