According to some political prophets
Mr.. Thomas w. Robinson may be the
Democratic nominee for mayor of Paw
tucket. II he is the result OF the election
will be foregone conclusion.
Mr.. Robinson personally is an excel
lent young man with fair share Of
ability but Of unfortunate political as
sociations. He has been. since he en-
tered politics. the Fidus Achates of Ex-
Boss Carroll, and has shared the vary
ing fortunes of that deposed dictator.
At times he betrayed symptoms of in
subordination and an inclination to
throw off the Carroll collar, bat the
spasm of Independence was generally
short livel.
Last year Mr.. Robinson secured the
nomination through Mr.. CAROLS man.

ferent color and stuff, these being in
many cases covered with embroidery and
soutache, or applications of lace. For
example, dinner dress OF velvet or bro
cade will open upon tablier of beauti-
full lace the same lace being used to trim
the corsage and sleeves. Cloth costumes
for the autumn will have an upper skirt,
opening zen redingote' upon skirt Of
velvet. For evening dress, it is whis-
pered, tunics of crepe de chine and other
soft, light materials will be draped upon
a skirt richly trimmed in all sorts Of
ruffly, fluffy ways. Skirts Of lace over
underskirts of silk and satin will also be
much worn. Velvet, they say, will be
more than ever popular as part Of a cos
tune and as trimming.
The bertha and the petit collet" will
remain in fashion, but will be variously
modified. Berthas in velvet, cloth,
moire, brocade, etc, will be seen, and
beautiful trimmings will edge many Of
them.
A pretty French gown for early au-
tumn has a single skirt made very cling
ing upon the hips and wide at the foot.
1t is of violet crepon, trimmed at the
foot with band of black guipure, which
is apparently caught down by black vel
vet ribbon, put on in V shape and held
by knots of the same. The corsage Is Of
black guipure over mauve. The girdle
is of black velvet, and the corsage trim
ming is of black velvetribbon. The Gre
pom puffs which form the upper part of
the sleeves are caught down by black
velvet ribbon knots. The lower part of
the sleeve is Of the black guipure. Every
one talks Of the reign of black and white
for the coming season. 1t is swing of
the pendulum undoubtedly from the
greens, purples, ETC., with which we
have been overwhelmed of late.
A good many "bals blancs," as they
are called, are given nowadays for very
young girls, and at these semijuvenile
functions only the simplest and freshest

charmingly pretty pattern is shown in

BUSINESS Is BUSINESS.

There are certain of the lea ding retail
stores in this city that have felt the hard
times only because OF slow collections
and the scarcity of currency, over which
their owners had no control.
There are certain other retail stores
that have lost trade to such an extent
that their owners are feeling exceedingly
blue and anxious.
The first stores referred to continued
advertising through the dull season
and despite the almost universal dis
couragement.
The second class of stores withdrew
their advertising and drew into their
shells, as far away from the notice of
the public and possible buyers as pos
sible. Trade summed them as they
Stunned trade.
The times have not yet become hard
enough to prevent people buying the
comforts and the necessaries of life.
They have, however, become more dis
eliminating. They are prompted to
seek cut bargains. They study the ad-
vertisements, and they seek out the
enterprising stores that study to meet
their needs and resources.
If it ever pays to advertise It pays to
advertise all the time. When an enter
prising merchant undertakes to do busi-
ness without telling the public what he
has to sell and why trade should be
given to him he might as well move his
store ten miles into the country, where
he can save rent, taxes, etc.
This summer season has proved con-
clusively that the merchant who adver-
tises continuously and shrewdly in the
newspapers has long lead over those
who only advertise when business is
brisk.
The argument of the monthly bal
ance sheet is one that cannot be re-
sisted. 1t is conclusive.
The records OF the stores that have
advertised through the summer show
little trace of the hard times.

white silk, with accordion plated skirt
without trimming, accordion plated
waist and full accordion plated ruffie,
edged with lace around the neck, nearly
covering the very full sleeves on the
shoulders. Awhile satin ribbon IL inches
in width is passed around the waist,
crossed behind and brought around in
front, where it is tied in bow.
The new sleeve is very much gathered
on the shoulder, widening ont toward
the elbow. The stiffened hens of skirts
are said to be going out, and in some
cases the skirt is again made to trail
slightly behind. Pretty little zouaves OF
velvet form part of the bodices OF many
putumn costumes in cloth. Brown is to
