WOMAN AND HER SKIRT.

Anything skinny is the complete undoing
of skirt elegance.

heartily in favor Of the single tax as the
fundamental reform. He believed it to
be the only just system of raising revenue.
The single tax would dispense with a
hoard of tax gatherers, lessen the cost
Of collection, simplify government, abolish
trusts, endow man with his natural rights
and make the holding Of land for speeu-
Iative purposes unprofitable. The single
tax was simple justice and he believed
in no compromise. He discussed at some
length the single tax platform.
Addresses were also made by Hon. James
G. Mcguire, member Of Congress from
California, and Secretary Wilson OF the
Associated Charities.

CAPES FOR BABIES.

A VERY great dra wback in babies out
~ door garments is that they usually
have capes that are cut so as to
faSten around the neck and leave most
of the weight dragging behind. If a
child is carried upright in a nurses arms
she generally allows the cape to fail free
and thus all the weight depends from the
little throat, aud il is just the same in
carriage. A coat-shaped pelisse, in which
the weight is partly borne by the shoulders
is far better, and If there must be cape,
ft should be secured at the back Of the
garment by hook fixing into loop oI
the ueekband, or button and bnttonhoIe
These coutrivances are quite invisible,
under the ruche or the bit of swansiown
that so generally finishes off a cilild's
cape at the neck, and they make great
deal of dliffere nee in the way OF comfort.

BOOTS FOR HOUSE WEAR.

A MEXICAN women are learning from
~ the French that it is wise to wear
boots in the house AS soon as a
French woman enters her home she slips
off her driving or walking boots and in
cases her feet in dainty black satin boots,
lined with glove kid, fastened with many
polished buttons. Unless a foot is very
well modelled il locks far better in a boot.
Slippers emphasize the defects that boots
conceal. None of the dressiness attached
to the slipper is lost, for the long vamped,
high heeled, perfectly-fitting black satin
boot gives distinction to the plainest house
gown. Another attractive feature Of
this boot is that it allows of the padding
of the instep. This shoe is, Of course, not
worn with an evening frock.

with continuance Of the cool weather
which has attended the convention from

greater than at any time previous DUR

that Pennsylvania would stand by the

The New York announcement was

MAJORITY RULE
Delegate Marsden was on his feet the
moment order was obtained with mo. I.
ton to abrogate the two-thirds rule.
''The majority should prevail" he Yell
ed. 1.-The old custom is cowardly SUBJ
terfuge."
Senator Jones Of Arkansas made the
point that the resolution must be con-
sidered by the committee on rules.
Marsden grew red in the face and
called for water The galleries, who
then recognized the irate Louisiana man
who distinguished himself the day before
by developing an unquenchab BILE thirst,
were convulsed with laughter and yelled
themselves hoarse. Somebody got him
a glass of water and he gulped it in full
view Of the 10000 screaming people. He
mounted the platform and went straight
to the water pitcher. where he again
slaked his burning throat, while the con-
vention rolled about his feet like men in
a fit.
Chairman Richardson told Marsden
to state his motion without debate,
whereupon the latter began a statement,
saying the two thirds rule should be
abrogated. and again denounced 1t as a
cowardly subterfuge. Money of Missis-
sippi moved reference of the motion to
the committee on rules, when it had been
finally stated. and during the tumult
which ensued Richardson smashed in
the top of the desk like paper box.
Marsden was shouting that he rose to
question of personal privilege, when he
was showered with cries Of Water"
