Narrow q~uillings OF chiffon are q feature OF
dress this season. filling q large space In the
shops. and are employed In q hundred different
ways. one OF which is rs n border for sashes OF
velvet or silk. worn with evening dress.
The autograph tea cloth is one Of the fads
among English women. II is OF plain white
linen with a broad bemstitched hem. Numer-
Gus friends write their names diaeonally above
the hem. and each one Is embroidered in white
or colored cotton.
The new ribbons are very delicate in texture
like silken gauze. and the variety In grass linen
effects has multiplied many times since last
season. There are Scotch plaids. light tinted
grounds plalded of with some strong color and
scattered over with polka dots or sprays Of
flowers. and plain colors, with fancy edges Of
hair line stripes. In vnrions colors, and checked
to have the lead among the plain ribbons, and
some NJ these are sRtin faced. Moire ribbons
with corded edges are also seen.
Shepherd checks In pretty soft colors and a
lightweight wool material are to be very much
worn for travelling dresses this season. and will
be made up with n boleio OF plain cloth braided
In some contrasting color.
The latest fancy for trimming silk petticoats
is two or three accordion plated RULES fully q
quarter OF q yard wide. These are pinked on
the edge and sometimes caught up in festoons
fastened by bows OF ribbon.
The slesve Of the moment certainly has length
to recommend II almost in proportion TO the size

wrist Is very becoming to any but the short
stout arm.
The Princess dress Is very popular In Paris
and many handsome gowns Of velvet and siiE
for weddings and other dressy occasions are cut
In this style.
\ novel costume for spring Is made Of dark
bite and white shepherds plaid with a wide
plat, both back and front. on the bodice, mar
rowing toward the belt. and n plain skirt with A
wide plat. in front, spreading out wider at the
loot and fastened down just below the waist
with FANCY buttons. Buttons also decorate the
front plat on the bodice above the bust. and
blue silk forms the collar aud belt.
The fact that the bicycle craze has had n
marked effect on the Increase In size OF women's
shoes is a pleasing one TO the doctors who have
l~cctured in vain for years on the folly OF high
French heels and narrow toes. So the bicycIe
has worked wonders and the very small foot is
gradually becoming more and more Of q myth.
Parasols are out IN full bloom In the shops
but the most elaborate productions look .us.
picionsly Ike those OF last season. There ara
the same gauzy %vanities. all rufied and
plated and edged with lace or banded with
ribbon. and everything In the way of a fancy

The Cause Making Encouraging Progress
In the Pacific States.


In the Pnc,ac States.
The advocates OF woman suffrage profess to
be- greatly encouraged by the progress which
the movement has made In many of the West
ern States. They say that the principle Of equal
civil rights for men and women failed by so
narrow q margin at the election In California
last November that they are encouraged to try
again. The on Constitutional Amend
ments OF the California Senate favors the resub.
mission OF the suffrage amendment In 1905.
and the Legislature Is expected to ap-
prove the proposition. In point OF fact,
57,5io votes were cast In California at the
recent election for an amendment TO
the state Constitution In order to au-
thorizo female suffrage; s2.OsO votes were
cast against the proposition, and II much larger
number Of voters of California than were re.
corded on the question rctrained entirely from
voting on the proposition. This last fact Is per-
haps one OF the most discouraging features Of
the case for tho woman sufrragists. because out.
spoken opponents they may hope to convince.
but careless and Indifferent citizens. who do rot
deem the question worthy Of confederation, can
not be argued with to advantage. Nevertheless
an affirmative vote OF 1900 in California
shows that the agitation for woman suffrage
has made considerable head way In that st ate
as In the other Pacific or mountain states.
In Idaho the advocates ot woman suffrage had
n victory to their credit, for the proposed con-
stitutional amendment providing for woman
suffrage was adopted by l".i.0 ayes to Il, ns2
noes. An appeal was taken to the State SUI.
preme Court. which handed down u decision in
December, saying that while II did not receiyca

carried by virtue OF receiving majority Of votes

and Wyoming, there was full! equal suffrage at
the election last year. aud women voted as well
