MATERIALS AND STYLES.
GrOsgrain and Jet Again POpular-PIaids
Continue the Rage.


The tartan fancy has developed plaids
more brilliant and dazzling than any clan
ever dreamed of. Especially in silks are
these plaids used for waists, vests and
trimmings of all sorts. Combinations of
plaid and plain silk form fashionable COS
TUNES, and mohair is greatly in favor for
csing in conjunction with bright plaids.
Although the hold of the differing skirt
and bodice seems to be still firm on popu-
lar fancy, many costumes are now seen
which have the skirt and bodice made to
match, which of course does not imply
that they are of one plain material. Tho
same sort of goods and trimming composes
both, and there is still ample room fc=
combination effects.
Jet ornamentation is as fashionable as
ever, and black grosgrain silk, with jet
trimmings, is again seen.
-Capes of black veIours du nord are worn
by all women, from the young girl to the
middle aged matron, the trimming being
arranged to suit the condition of the wear
er. These capes are often lined with white
satin. Plush is preferred to velours by

BUTTONS AND ACCESSORIES
Kid Belts With Fantastic Euckles-Green
Leather POcketbooks.

Fashionable buttons may fairly be reck-
oned with jewelry, now that they are SO
elaborate and costly. Even though tho
gems with which they are set are usually
limitations only, the limitations are SO good
and SO well cut and the whole button so
carefully made that it is really work of
art. These expensive trifles are used to
give fashionable effect to otherwise sim
pie coats and vests. Medallion enameled
and jeweled buttons are not the very
highest point of luxury, however, for many
women who possess canoes, engraved
stones and fine agates have them set in
tho form of buttons and wear them on fine
gowns.
Kid belts to accompany tailor made
gowns are seen in fawn, tan, gray and
white. These are fastened by more or less
elaborate buckles of fantastic form. The
favorite design is a golden serpent, with
ruby, diamond or emerald eyes.
There is a fancy just now for belts,
chatelaine bags and pocketbooks of fine,
bright green leather. These are often I'm

One OF the great questions today before

quite. equal in Importance 10 the quss-
tions OF finance and tariff. Is the settle
ment o. the problem OF the relations be-
tween railroad companies and tlHe public
and the maintenance Of stable rates OF
traffic. An article appeared in Yesterdays
issue on the subject. and. while there IS
hardly room for controversy as TO the
rights OF carriers. as well as the people.
IT is plain TO everyone. that the time has
now arrived in the Unitnd States when
definite action should be taken by CON
gross and such laws enacted as will mete
out justice to all. Railroad companies
are entitled to fair earnings; the people
are entitled to fair rates Of transporta-
tion. Under existing trade conditions
there appears 10 be but one way in which
the roads can secure remuaerative earn
ings. and that is by combination. There
Is. perhaps, only jne way in which the
people can secure equitable rates. ana
that is by legislation. The solution Of
the entire difficulty. and the placing OF
The railroad companies and the people

appear to be by means Of combination,
properly restricted by legislation. The
interstate commerce act. as It now stands
might be. most effectually amended. 80 az

befall community or country than to

Of bankruptcy. The prosperity Of any
people under modern laws Of commerce
depends very largely upon the prosperity
OF its carrier companies and the stability
OF rates and transportation.
