KEEP VEHICLES OFF.
They Should Not Be Allowed on Kan
sas Avenue at All.

The police did reasonably well in
clearing Kansas avenue of vehicles
this morning for the parade, but they
will find more difficulty at night.
It is scarcely right to make some peO-
pie move their rigs while others re-
main.
Absolutely every vehicle should be
made to leave Kansas avenue. After a
certain hour, no one should be permit
ted to even drive there There are
dozens of other streets by which peo-
pie in carriages can reach their desti-
nation.
Where the police make their mistake
is to allow horse to set foot on Kansas
avenue after a certain hour Once let
a buggy or vehicle into the street and
it finds lodgment somewhere, and it
takes time and trouble to get it out.
Don't let the buggies get a foothold

rRlG T0Gs FOR TRAVELLING.

- UEMER tours ore 10 progress, and
naturally suitable outfits are in
consideration. The old custom
~ of saving for the travelling expedi-
ton the half- worn out gown and
hat has quite passed away, aud we now see
the traveller go W ded quite as jauntily for the
Journey rs she would be for the street.
Aud why not? People who can afford to
travel for mere pleasure surely can afford
the best service the train or boat affords
and such being the case there is no more
fear of inj juring the costume than if in ones
own parlor, and then. too, shut up, as
travellers are. for long time with fellow
travellers. it is well to be SO gowned as to be
a pleasant companion and not guy in i
frumpy gown.
The London tailors are unique stionably
the best auth horitie on travelling outfits. and
from them are sent variety of sInart de-
signs. One extremely handsome model is
made up in q soft Scot ch mixture Of green
aud tan color The nine-gored skirt flares
smartIy, aud is decorated along the front
breadth by an elaborate design of ap-
pliaued brown velvet, stitched on with
gold thread.
The bodice is short and fitted to the
figure with a smart, full coat back. An
appIigued design in velvet forms a vest.
while along the edge of the Jacket ex-
tends narrow gimp OF black Jet The
sleeves are pronouncedly small. and cut
IN the regular coat sleeve fashion, with but
little fuilness at the top.
With this smart gown is worn bit OF a
hat with an oval crown made of alternate
white and brown satin braid. Across the
trout is drapery of golden brown chiffon
and yellow lace with wide loops to broaden
the face effects. A single black plume
eleyates itself at the side.
