Variety Is the spice OF life and also
OF fashions this season. It's such a
comfort to these who must wear their
last winters gowns to know that those
same gowns. although Of not the new
est modes. are yet sufficiently up to
date to be worn without any misgly-
ings. Rarely Is so much remodeling
countenanced as Is this year-in fact.
II Is done quite openly and with n
frankness that we would have eonsld'

Although shirt waists are repeatedly

MIR. SANDS NOMINATION.
Senate Committee Has Not Actcd-His
Friends Consider Him Safe.

The subcommittee of the Senate commit
tee on the District of Columbia having in
charge the nomination of Francis P B.
Sands TO be Commissioner of the District
OF COLUMBIA was not able to hold meet
ing today. The subcommittee may not
be able to get together before the meeting
of the full committee tomorrow morning,
but it is believed that the members of
the subcommittee have individually looked
into the matter and that they might dis
pose of the case after a very short con-
ference.
Mr. Sands and his friends express the
utmost confidence today in the confrma-
ton of the appoiatee before the 4th of
March. They look FOR action by the Dis
trict committee tomorrow, and then expect
to see confirmation before the session ends.
They say there IS no reason why the COM
mittee should postpone the matter any
lorger, and claim to have assurances that
there will not be another postponement, as
well as assurances that Mr.. Sands is safe.
