lar party organization, the starting
Of Populists clubs in every precinct

Princess Dresses Again.

Handsome princess dresses appear
among imported French models for
day and evening wear alike, and these
are made of velvet, cloth, corduroy,
brocade, plain and fancy silks and sat
ms, sheer woods and regal moires, bro
caded with raised satin figures, a
deeper shade than the watered back
ground.

Two StyIish Cloths.

Smooth-faced cloths are conspicu.
Gus among the autumn novelties, and
brown, green and rich shades in blue
seem to be equally fashionable colors
The soft satin foulards will proba-
bly, lose the popularity they gained
during the spring and summer, and
their place be taken by the crisp tat
fetas again. Some of the new printed
taffetas have peculiar sheen that is
neither q MORE nor an iridescent
effect, but something quite new and
lovely.

to effectuaily annihilate the pernicious
