Florence, July 26.-In our model today
we endeavor to exemplify the prevail
ing taste towards trimmed skirts with
out changing the becoming simplicity
of lines which has so long characterized
the skirt and which most women are
10th to give up, in spite of Fashions
DEGREES. Our model is made of pale
blue nuns yelling over a lining of blue
taffeta, and is particularly well adapt
ed for weather wear. The only decora-
ton on the plain close fitting skirt is
seven rows of pipings of white satin
which run higher towards the back
than in front. The fullness of the
blouse is attached to the silk lining at
the chest and is gathered at the waist
by folded belt of white satin, fasten-
ing in front under a white satin ro-
settle. A wide band of Venetian point
lace passes around the bodice, forming
an airy jacket. The large, cape-like
collar of the same exquisite lace is
fastened TO neckband of folded white
satin and founce of real lace. The
sleeve is quite plain and extends into
a slashed faring cuff. A puff consist
ing of several bias folds of blue nuns
yelling gives the required fullness at
the shoulder.
Gorgeous and glazing color combina-
lions had become so popular during
the early spring that the true elegante

goods show the tendency TO dampen
color effects.
Among wooden stuffs cashmere and

fashion and among silk fabrics grey or

beautiful costumes, as they combine

Brompton, as wherever the trade union
exists. notably in England, the ripe
result of the organization of labor has
made just as surely for Industrial peace
as the cropping, feeble beginnings of it's
organization made for industrial dis

armed neutrality of Europe. it is true,
based on the fear which the strength of
each party inspires in the other; new

on Thus, in the later 70's, during the
days of the raw and badly organized

ing to riot and personal violence; but
since the genuine, closely organized
trade union has become powerful
enough to be feared, labor adjustments
have been achieved without strikes, as
a rule and when strikes have occurred
they have been of short dura ton and
free from violence Under the present
regime of factories so large that en-
ployers cannot have personal knOwl-

personal interest in them, even II they
wished; of Indifferent nonresident en-
plOyers who would not take notice of
