In the last English dog show this was

A new idea in the trimming of children,s
gowns is to make applique patterns with
thin sleazy ribbon or silk braid. The ribbon
is drawn up with a thread on one edge
where it is needed to form curves. AS an
example of this work is a blue yelling gown
with the blouse front covered with an lrreg-
ular spiral pattern in white; also a brown
mixed wool with brown ribbon on the skirt

The hats worn all summer by little girls,

CHICAGO, Aug. 24.-To the Editor OF The
Bee: You may like to know what we of the
Woman's Republican League of the United
States are doing in this campaign. Our
president, Mrs. ]. Ellen Foster, has been
appointed by the national republican COM
mittee to take charge Of the work OF or
ganization among women. No one is more
capable, In such an appointment Chairman
Hanna has given another evidence of his
political sagacity. This action OF the ma
tional committee attests the fact that the
G. o. p. is not unmindful Of woman as a
factor in politics. This action, too, on the
part of the national republican committee,
is further testimony OF the honesty Of the
party when they, in the national convention
in st. Louis. adopted the plank. THE re-
publican party is mindful of the rights and
interests of women. protection Of American
industries, equal opportunities, equal pay
for equal work and protection to the home.
We favor the admission OF women to wider
spheres OF usefulness and welcome their
co operation in r~escuing the country from
democratic and populist acknowledgement
and misrule."
The adoption Of this plank was no small
compliment to the women of the republican
party. Every woman. in fact, may take
