GUS folds of one Of these smart capes.
The holiday season at Lakewood is I'M
usually bright and gay, for never before
have so many ladies entered the golf links
in competition with their husbands or
brothers.
Miss Alice Strong, one of the best golf
ers of the season, wears particularly
appropriate suit that also does service as
her bicycle outfit. 1t has a combination
skirt with boomers attached and a neatly
fitting Norfolk jacket that is occasionally
worn open, displaying brightly colored
sweater OF warm wooden shirt waist This
style of suit seems to be very popular
with the women of Lakewood and is
adopted by the majority of them on The
SWEETEST mid winter cycling excursions

| velvet are very popular.
! The variety of neck novelties fol trans
! forming a plain silk bodice into some
| thing suitable for evening wear is one of
the special points in dress this season.
aud there really seems to be no limit to
the attractive forms taken by that one
small band that encircles the throat. A
folded satin collar with a huge bow in the
| front is one of the newest fads, while an
other has the top of the plain white satin
collar edged with liliputian feathers and
the four loops of wide satin ribbon that
nestle under the chin are all edged with
the very smallest feathers possible to OBJ
! tain.
The Medici collar is also having an in

can be thought of is used to give the soft
| fluffy effect around the neck. Dainty con
fections of satin, velvet, lace, chiffon and
| for use, and as the collar rarely matches
the bodice i'll color they are a very useful
purchase.
Opera capes are in every possible shape
and size; the very latest novelty being one
made on the style of GRANDMOTHER cape.
1t reaches quite to the knees and is finish
ed with a deep flounce of black lace
Around the shoulders extends and old
fashioned palette reaching to the waist
! line and also finished with a flounce of
| lace. Calve, that fascinating and popular
singer brought to America quite a novel
ty in the way of an opera hood. 1t is
made of lace and gracefully fashioned
after the style of the mantillas worn by
the women of the soft skied Southern
lands, where the sunshine dreams in COL
den splendor. When the wearer reaches
| the house of amusement she lifts the lace
which is arranged on a thin wire bent in
an oval to fit around the head, and allows
| it to fall in its own loose folds at the
! back of her neck where it forms beauti-
full collar. Romance and poetry seem
woven into the filmy meshes of this airy,
/ dainty hood as it clings softly and loving
| ly around the sparkling face of its wearer
1 No matter how elaborate the evening
coiffure, the lace hood can be worn with
out disturbing a curl or tangling tress.
One of the popular features of this sea
sons opera is the matinee given every
Wednesday. The orchestra is always
crowded with smart women and it is a
fact that no diminution of favor is be-
slowed on the tailor made gown.
Miss Maud Adams slight, girlish figure
never showed to better advantage than in
a gown of novelty stuff worn at the last
mid week matinee. The style was Nor
folk, and the only adjournment was some
oddly shaped pearl buttons on the box
plaits in the front. The material used in
making the suit was a mixture of green
and black in silk and wool combination.
Both coat and skirt were lined with
changeable taffeta, and at every move
ment of the fair wearer we heard that
musical ''swish'' which denotes at once
the silk lined gown.

is N'KINLEY SAFE:

The New York Evening Post assumes
that Mckinley will be the nominee Of the
ST. Louis convention, as the Dispatch
assumed the day after Illinois declared
for him. The Post thinks that "the walls
of the anti-McKinley Jericho are knocked
too fiat by the blast Of the Illinois trum-
pet to be rebuilt" and that the Ohio man
IS moving on triumphantly to almost GER
tain victory at st. Louis
Unquestionably, the Post is right. 1t is
possible. Of course, that something may be
done or may occur between now and the
meeting of the st. Louis Convention,
which will have the effect of defeatin-
Mr.. Mckinley of nomination by that
body Death may interpose; but this is a
mere possibility, not a probability.
We are told that General Grant was dis
appointed in not being nominated for a
third term. But that fact only shows
how much the people Of the United States
are opposed to a third term. Nothing else.
The people were more than willing to
nominate General Grant for third term
il principle and good policy had
not both forbidden. Mckinley is
not thus handicapped. lie grows
stronger and stronger every day
There are 1875 votes Cup to last Sunday
that may be counted for him. Besides
these 49j votes. there are enough to run
that number up to the nominating point.
In a word. Mckinley, we repeat. can be
defeated of nomination only by Mckinley.
Nobody else can do it.
