half way up with cOnventionaliZed blue
flowers and leaves interspersed with dots
The waist was gathered to a point front
and back and had full plastron Of the
Grape and double caps to the pulled sleeves.
The sleeves were of the poplin. All around
the skirt and up the two front seams there
was ruching made Of taffeta Of the same
shade as the gown. This was ~ inches
wide.
A magnificent reception gown was made
of pink and green printed taffeta in POM
padour design. This, too, was left open
in front to simulate an open skirt, with q
tablier of white and silver brocade. This
skirt also had a narrow ruching down the
seams and all around the bottom. The
corsage was cut in tho Louis Seize style,
with pointed vest of the silver brocade
and two bertha shaped revers of the bro
cade. The back was futed high, and the
fronts were cut away in the approved
style. -Four fancy silver buttons were
placed on each side. The basque was OF
the taffeta. Around the low neck there
was draped bertha of pale pink tulle,
with jabot fronts. The sleeves had small
puffs, with other puffs arranged so as to
droop over the arms. Where they Joined
there were two shirrings made of white
silk null. There were crushed puffs OF
this pink tulle directly upon the shoulders.
I could scarcely tell how many other ele'
CANT evening gowns are copied from this
and developed in somewhat the same style.
the principal difference being in material
and minor details. In such gown lady
would look like some dainty little mar
quise of the days of the empire n the
courtly danes of Little Trianon. This
gown was intended only for evening wear:
but it is suitable for dinner, opera, recep-
ton or any place where full dress Is re-
quired.
The same new idea in skirts was carried
out in magnificent satin duchess silk in
ashen gray, with great sprays of green and
purple flowers scattered over it. The five
back cores were of the satin duchess, laid
in superb plaits. The front Of the skirt,
or tablier, as it is called, was made Of
white and green silk mull-the white,
pure mat, and the green just the color of
the breaking surf, more white than green,
yet holding the lights and shadows of the
translucent waves First there was
inches and widening to 20. This was
gathered at both top and bottom. Then, on
each side of this, there was a panel of
puffed green null, the puflngs being made
diagonal. These panels were inches wide
at the top and 10 at the bottom. Where it
Joined the white there was very narrow
ruchipg of valenciennes. Around the bot
tom of this portion Of the skirt, save under
the green, there was an irregular shirred

A PROTECTIVE TARIFF Is NEEDED.

American Econ omist: -Four
years ago Candidate Bryan advo'
Gated free trade on the ground
that 1t would make prices lower;
today he is shouting for free silver
because it will make prices higher.
One would need to be well up in
turning double somersaults to keep
in line with Mr.. Bryan. Where
is he at, any way! Prices taken
without relation to wages mean
nothing. Low prices will do us
no good if we have 10 work and no
money with which to buy any
thing, and free trade means no
work and no money, whether it
means low prices or not. Higher
prices will do us no good if there
is nobody to buy our goods, and
with factories shut down and peo-
pie out of work, neither the farmer
nor any one else has a market for
his goods. Juggle the figures as
YOU will, there is only one way to
make them add up to prosperity,
and that is by including a pro-
tective tariff. That means plenty
of work and good wages for the
wage earners, and for the farmer
a home market and increased de-
m and for his products.

One swallow does not make summer,
nor does one gown alone form fashion,
but when the fashion writer In search of
"something new" finds three Of the new
models, all bearing the same marked Pc
ouliarity, she is justified in thinking a
new style has been evolved. The fall
model gowns are arriving fast now, CON-
signed to the best houses In New York,
and here they are being copied as rapidly
as possible, with many minor changes to
adapt them still better to the needs Of the
American women There Ia q little Of
everything to be seen in these advance
gowns. Sleeves are of every dimension and
shape, but all trying by some clever arti-
foe to hide the fact that tho sleeve Ia tight
There are surplice folds of various shapes,
sizes and lengths, and there are blouse
plaits on very many gowns These are
generally In one wide plait, with the mar

jaunty dgaros, this would be very taking
style I need not say would be, for the
figaro will be and already Is, but 1t will
be very generally worn. I find tt even for
children's use.
The new idea in the development Of
dress skirts is the open front, with a
breadth Of something else set in. Some
call them tablier or apron fronts. They
are derived plainly from old styles Of three
or four generations ago, but these are sew
ed together, not made into the separate
skirts, with the upper one Topped back, as
in the old days.

Some of the financial" papers
published in Wall street, New
York, are endorsing free silver
coinage, and it is interesting to see
the free silver papers quote them
as good authority. The cry Of the
free siiverites has been that Wall
street was expressing the people,
and it is strange that they would
now seek endorsement from such
a source.

Spring had come at last! The SUMS
warm rays had melted the snow on the
mountains, the green grass blades had
pierced through their withered sheaths,

And now a little bee awoke from it's

and then reused it's fellow companions.
Together they opened the door and
peeped around to see if the ice and snow
and cold north wind had all disappeared.
Yes, to their great joy everything was
bright and beautiful in the warm SUM-

So they slipped out Of the hive and
dressed their wings and tried to fly
again. Oh! how delightful it was-but,
dear me, how very hungry they found
themselvesl So off they few to gnarl-

for something to eat.
"Oh," said the apple tree, you have

So off again they hew-only, how

cherry tree said:

Unprecedented Increase in the Business
OF the New York Institutions


New York. November 2S.-The Finan-
cier this week says:
The notable expansion which the
New York Banks have shown since
election continues The clearinghouse
statement for the current week is al
together gratifying. the increase in
loans being particularly significant Of
the development of trade in all lines
While this increase does not represent
altogether purely commercial or mer-
camille developments, a large proportion
OF 1t is Of this character. In two weeks
the banks Of New York have increased
their loans no less than SIS, l09. 600, and
tn expansion since November has been
S21. 400, 600. Never in the history Of
banks has such a development of busi-
ness been manifested in the same
length of time. At many other periods
il is safe to say a demand for money
equally as great as the present move
ment would have resulted in a very
stin market; but in the present instance
this tendency is checked by deposits,
since the banks have gained in deposits
no less than $52,1s6.7OO, which viii indi-
cate to some extent the release the
funds boarded previous to election.
Clearing house valuts now contain
$40, 500, 900 in gold, an increase since cleo
ton of over slO,OOO,OOO. and the increas-
ing use of legal tenders arises prob
ably from the exchange of gold at the
sub-treasury. 1t is probably true the
deposits represent more than bank ex-
changes and treasury disbursements, as
the savings banks are feeling the effect
of restored confidence and are no small
factors in this regard. The total gain
in cash since November has been
nearly $4,000. 900 and some of this comes
through savings bank channels

the season so far. The market had.
