MAY BE STRONG AND GOFF.

Possible Reform Candidates In New
York for Mayor and Recorder.
The executive committee OF the commit
tee Of seventy Of New York met yesterday
afternoon, and, after a two hours session,
Chairman Charles Stewart Smith announced
that the committee had its municipal ticket
almost ready.
Our work is almost DONE" said Mr..
Smith to a Herald reporter. "and the greater
number Of our candidates has been decided
upon. I cannot give out the names Of the
persons we have agreed upon for the pro-
will be duly announced. I am confident the
anti-Tammany organizations. The ticket
which the committee of seventy has decided
upon will be. in the committees opinion,
the ideal combination ticket.
THE idea is for the committee of sew
enty to confer with all the organizations
separately, and then hold a general con-
ference, at which all the organizations will
be represented This ideal ticket is almost
certain to be changed in several respects
The republicans, the good government
clubs and the German american Reform
Union have had the advantage of represen-
tatiOn on the committee of seventy, and it
may be assumed that the ticket as 1t now
stands, Is agreeable to the represen ia tives
VI THESE OfSanlZdtlOnS. Is 1act, how
ever, that the independent county organiza-
ton and the anti-Tammany democracy
are not represented on the committee Of
seventy. The leaders of these organizations.
If their interests have suffered in the ar
r2ngement of the ticket say they will not
submit tamely to be ignored, and when the
conferences are held the present ticket is
certain to be changed"
The ruInor was diligently circulated last
night, says the Herald, that William L,
Strong Is the committee of seventy's candi-
date for mayor. Col. Strong was one of the
committee of thirty which reorganized the
local republican party. AS it stands, he is
sure to have the support of the republican
organization, the Good Government club
and the anti-Tammany democracy. The
domination for recorder is understood to
nave been given to John W. Goff

Row He Appreciates It.

On recent afternoon young plan
list, who is considered musical genius
by his friends, was introduced to a
handsome woman by one of the teach
ers at Steinway hall. The teacher had to
leave the room for time, and the lacy
asked her new acquaintance if he would
not play something for her. The young
man sat down at the piano and played
several pieces. The lady listened with
a critical air, and when he had con-
cluded. thanked him very heartily.
Now, she added, won't you please
play something of your own compost
tion?"
He complied, rendering pretty song
which he had composed not long be-
fore. The lady expressed herself very
much pleased again, and said:
'If you will transpose that, will
sing it at my song recital in Boston"
The young man bowed politely, but,
being unwilling to commit himself to
comparative stranger, said nothing.
A silence ensued that would have been
embarrassing had it not been fortunate
ly interrupted by the return of the
teacher. The lady had some business
to transact with him, and the pianist
was relieved. When she turned to
leave, she shook hands with him heart
lily and again expressed her gratifica-
ton at having heard him play. When
she was gone, the pianist turned to his
friend and asked carelessly:
WHO is that lady?"
why, told you. That is Mrs.
Story"
"Yes, l know, but who is Mrs
Sfory?"
Good heavens, man! Don't you
know that Emma Eames is Mrs. Story

About 40 miles in q southerly di.

such an accessory to q decollette gown
takes away all immodest effect and at
the same time ia no way interfere with
the display OF q lovely neck.
Women are again threatened with the
hideoue patchy gowns of many years
ago and shall vet see themselves in a
queer coat bodice of one color worn over
a skirt and overdrese, the skirt matching
the bodice and overdress contrasting
with both. The overdress will have q
founce to match the skirt and the skirt
will have hounce to match the over
dress, and the result will be enough to
make any one shudder.
A new and pretty form of blouse in
surah silk is shown in the last picture.
The jacket and shoulder frills are dark,
and the tight-fitting sleeves are in

lace insertion trim the tasteful garment.
Among the newest skirt models there is
one which seems to hang from close
fitting fur yoke, but in which what
looks like q yoke is very short over

back flares out in boxpleat, from be-
meath which the underskirt falls very
full. 70 the discerning it is not neces-

stimy starched skirts.

A swell dressmaker confessed recent
~ that the reason why some of the far.
ing skirts hung out around the bottom
with such a graceful fare was because
of flexible steel quarter of an inch
in width which runs through the hem.
Some of the latest silk petticoats have
two of these wires run through the
folds. one at the hem and another few
inches above. Evening skirts are now
made with heavy hounces stiffiy starch
ed in the old fashion, and more than
one skirt is worn. Some of the new
white starched skirts have three over
tapping fiounces reaching from the belt
to the hem in the back, and one full
fiounce extending all the way around
the skirt to the knees. All these fiounces
are stiffened, but not to the point of
rafting, and help to hold out the light
skirts of the evening gown. Indeed it
is claimed that the starched white skirt
for daytime wear will soon take the
place of the silk petticoats that have
been popular during the past few years,
because those colored skirts have been
copied in cheap material, and besides
there is something in the freshness of a
starched skirt dainty and luxurious. -
