and the panels may be Of another color
IL so desired There are also some
draped skirts, particularly in the soft
cashmeres and poll de chine and other
goods with soft twills. | noticed one
cloth gown where handsome effect
was obtained 10y gathering up the mate
rial under long silver buckle. A neat
black and white check was also draped
up high ON the left hip. Often the
many gored skirts have thick piping
Of some other color or shade down each
seam. This is good plan for short fig
ures The skirts also begin to show con
siderable ornamentatiOn Of various
kiDds-flOunces, generally very narrow
puffs, fiat pieces set ON with gauffering
at the top and bottom. Braiding is also
favorite trimming. So is little well
designed embroidery. Lace is also seen,
and, in fact, there is little limit. One
can have almost anything. / remember
one odd gown that liked after all its
oddity. 1t was ash gray faille, with sew
en- cores. Every gore was piped with
myrtle green satin. The belt and elbow
bows were Of gray satin. On the front
breadth were set 10 four leaved clovers
cut out of heavy white milliner's net
and lined with green satin. These were
appliqued on. The waist was "baby"
with a yoke Of white batiste with in
sets Of cluny insertion. There were
three rows of that on the outside Of the
pulled sleeves. Three Of the stiff net
clover leaves were put on the yoke. On
each one Of the clover designs was sewed

The new colurs expected to be most in
demand for the coming season are beige,

golden brown in daylight and a rich
garnet at night; nile green, bluet, drab,

brownish purple; gray in all its shades
and dark blue in the navy shades. Ger
tainly there are others also Every one
is allowed certain choice. The plaids
are out in full force, the real Scotch
clan plaids being exceedingly handsome.
They are in twilled wool, soft and fleecy
| to the touch. In fact, almost all the
woods feel soft and fieecy and nearly ev-
e1ything has an effect Of astrakhan wool
or Persian lamb upon it, for the surface
has little knots, knobs and loops besides
tiny curls all over. This gives it very
comfortable and even luxurious appear

The latest fad Of the studios Is a new

the weight. When these goods are
shown i'll two colors, the boucle curls of
one color and the foundation of another,
they are handsome, but when the foun-
datioh and upper surface are of the same
color they are truly elegant. Large bone
buttons are about the only trimming
possible on such rich goods.
The first houses to show made up gar
ments of these warm goods have made
them nearly all with double breasted
jackets, with inner vests, as moditica-
tions Of the old norfolk jacket. That is
to say, the waist is laid in norfolk plaits,
dropping a little over the belt. The
skirt to these waists or jackets usually
lies in open plaits which flare out below
the belt Buttons made Of all the lead
ing styles Of these winter goods can be
purchased TO match. The cloth is set in
a narrow rim Of silver orgilt. They are
very stylish, Wherever buttons are used
at all, they should be large and hand
some. There are quite a humber Of fan
cy buttons for vests where the vest is of
silk or satin, and these buttons are stud
ded with imitation bIilliants and aqua
marine. Pearls in impossible colorings
are also shown.

orally understood that the ways and

to report a bill for the relief of the treas
ury situation before tomorrow or Thurs
day, the attendance in the house was
comparatively small today. Mr.. Dingley
of Maine, republican, chairman of the
ways and means committee, took the
floor. The committee on ways and
means, he said, had met this morning
and unanimously decided that, in view
of the presidents special message to
congress on Friday and the circum
stances surrounding it, it was not
appropriate that the two houses should
adjourn until proper response had been
made. In view of the urgency of the
matter, he deemed it proper TO say that
the committee bad already entered upon
the preparation of bill or bills. While
he was not prepared to say nov when
those bills would be ready, he was GER
tain they would not be presented to the
house before Thursday. re would ask
the house to meet tomorrow for the pur
pose OF agreeing upon the distribution
of the presidents messa!e. after which
he would ask the house 10 adjourn over
Christmas day. "On Thursday be con-
cluded, I'VE nope tine house will make
response to the urgent request Of the
president and take some action which
will relieve the situation ia which the
country finds itself" JAppIause) At
