Fancy Jackets.

A topic that is perennially interesting cannot be considered hackneyed; there fore discourse concerning fancy jackets needs no apologies. It is on the books of fashion that we are to hear consider able about them for some time to come. Motley is the only wear, says Shakes peare. The greatly varied fabrics intro duced and the diversity shown i'll their application render the word smotley'' as applied to the bolero, the Russian, French, guard and similar fancy jackets entirely appropriate, or Ut least not in- apt Just now, though looking quite chic and smart, these little garments for street wear as has before been observed, appear quite insufficient as q substitute for heavy winter coat or cape. Being chamois lined, they are, however, some what more protective than they look.
 The velvet blouses that fashion still affects cannot exactly De called street wraps, but when becoming they are really a better though less novel choice than the bolero jacket Dark hued velvet blouses are still worn with handsome cloth skirts with both house and street costumes Their simple, se- we're style remains unchanged, elabora- tion being exercised i'll the case of blouses of brocade, satinor similar light textiles. Modified mutton leg sleeves, costly buttons and very narrow fur roll on the flaring collar and cuffs form the sole decoration, and frequently the showy buttons are omitted On theater blouses of russian red, green, brown or black velvet more ornate style is ob- servable. Tudor or Queen Bess ruffs are employed with additions of creamy lace plaitings or ruches of monsseline de soie, some of these having tiny clusters of perfumed violets i'll the heart of each full plait.

 Really he says, 'I went to tho courthouse consumed with curiosity to know how ladies would go about con- duoting Q political mass meeting, 8 thing unheard of in the east. I found large audience, about equally divided as to sex, and divided us so sheep and goats by the naain aisle, the lnsn on one side; the ladtsa sa the 91ksr, EA an old n1ns t1ssE4 Aoysioe, add Mdy if the char She greeted me with all the ur> banlty imaginable, and at the proper time rose and called the meeting to order and asked for nominations for chairman of the evening. But one name was pre- sented, that of a prominent lady in the community, who was elected by acclama- tion. After some graceful preliminary remarks Mrs. President called upon the chai1men of the ward committees for reports There were three wards ill the town, and the ladies submitted reports showing that many new members had very gladly signed tho roll of the club and given of their wealth to help along the cause, and the total membership was shown to bo nearly 300.
 The business was dispatched as calm ly and expeditiously as though those women had been doing just that thing for 100 years. Then Mrs. President, in few and exceedingly felicitous re- marks, introduced me to the audience, which was as responsive to every shade of thought presented as though the lady leaders had breakfasted, dined and sup

overheated Living Rooms.

Do you keep your sitting room her medically sealed during the winter? Do you shiver and pile more eoals on the furnace and bundle yourself up in q zephyr shawl whenever a colder wave is prophesied? Do your registers give forth constant blasts of hot air or your steam fairly blister the garments of those who pass by? If these things are so then it is unnecessary to ask If you have constant colds, indigestion, that famous tired feeling, an annual attack of tho grip and houseful of ailing children
 The reason why so many American women oyerheat their houses and pave the way for their physicians to make fortunes Is that they are accustomed to pass q part of their time i'll the kitchen, where culinary necessities put whole some temperature quite out of the ques- tion. When they have finished their tasks i'll this department, the tired and oyerheated housewives turn to the other rooms to find them sceld 7 They are cold only by comparison. but 1t would be difficult to make one believe it. The consequence is the register is opened or the fire stirred up until the sitting room is as warm as the kitchen, and the habit of overheating, coming down from the days of huge wood piles and roaring chimney places, projects itself into the age of double windows, steam heating apparatus and redhot coal stoves.
 A little thought and experimenting will work reform ill many households, to the increased comfort and health of its inmates and to the advantage of the coal bin aud the wood pile.

Denim Conc out.


 Denim, ill all colors-that cotton ma terial which has been in such favor for draperies and cushions--has lost its cachet. And what do you suppose has taken it's place?
 No less or greater fabric than tick ing--ordinary ticking as to weave, but choice and solid hued as to colorings Old pink, green, blue, new yellow aI orange and terra cotta arc the tones. The material, as women will recall, has a finish as of sateen, and it is especially adapted for it's purpose. The price is only 35 cents.
 In house where artistic effects are more desired than expensive ones this material could be put to much service. One or another of the colorings would tighten the bedroom, the dining room, or darlxen the drawing room, as might be desired
 Charming portieres are made from lengths of it without the least orna- mentation. But the beauty is heightened by appliques of white or lighter or darker shade of the same color,
 These appliques are of flowers or fg- ures, and fanciful stitchings blend the pieces set on with the background.
 Sofa pillows yet are the most desirable objects in nice needlework. They arc large, square, plump. Usually they are made with ruffies of the fabric of the pillow. Yellow, perhaps, is the favorite color. One big ticking pillow had . huge tigers head embroidered on it in dashes of black where the spots ought to be, and red where the open mouth was, and white where the teeth should show. It was immensely effective, but more suggestive of active life than slurnber. However. too much must not be asked Of contemporary sofa pillow. If it is smart and well made, it has full filled it's mission New York Press.

Women Conducted the Meeting.

Representative Brosins of Pennsyl- vania rather inclines to the belief that women ill politics, like civil service re- form, have come tc stay since his cam paigning trip through the west last sum- mer. It is really Imaginable to hear him tell of his first introduction to wom- ans political meeting. It was ill a Ne braska town. He had spoken at big open air meeting ill the afternoon and had gone to his hotel for much needed rest, when he was called upon by a committee of ladies and invited to ad- dress meeting in the courthouse in the evening, which, hc was informed,

Opera Bonnsts.

Just where the line between the head dress and the bonnet is drawn takes keen eye to discern, but undoubtedly the latter does cover little more of tho head Spangled wings with an aigret and small caplike Dutch bonnets stud- ded with rhinestones and with one nod ding plume rising from soft cockads of white lace are included ill bonnets, but the ornaments of tulle which have feather are only trihe smaller. Pale blue. pale pink, black and white, all are used, while in the different shades of velvet there are curiously tied bows which quite cover the bonnet frame, arc very becoming and, best of all, do not interfere with the range of vision of the person i'll the seat behind, which an aigret or feather sometimes does When the bonnets are worn broad, they must fit closely to the head to be in style this winter, and the hair generally extends beyond them. When the sharp, hard lines of velvet or jet are unbecoming, . ruche of tulle or lace is permissible and will often work wonders in the effect.
 The little Normandy bohnets are among the new designs. They w6rA shown early in the winter, but did not ineet with much favor Lately they have been revived, with some needed notifications.
 With a high waist any of these little bonnets is considered suitable for the opera in the orchestra stalls, but this year it isa fad, and most sensible one, to arrange the hair well and not wear any bonnet, and certainly it adds great ly to the brilliant effect of the housS having the women with uncovered heads and ill demitoilet when not ill full ball dress.

ABOLITION OF SPRING ELECTIONS

From the Newark Evening News
The Hudson county Democratic news
papers do not hail with joy as a measure
of economy the proposed legislation to do
away with spring elections in Newark
and Jersey City, and to elect municipal,
as well as legislative, county, State, Con-
gressional and electoral candidates in No
vember. The extension of Mayor Wan
ser's term, which that legislation would
bring about, would give him oppor-
tunity to make certain important appoint
ments which would otherwise fall to his
successor. But in Jersey City, as here,
the plan is recognized as one designed to
draw party ends closer in municipal cleo
tons. THE result of such legislation .
says the Hoboken News would be
death to all local issues in the city cleo
tons of Jersey City and Newark; Ma
tional or general tickets would carry
local nominees with them. This might
suit political partisans, but it, would not
suit a very large number of voters who
want local affairs and issues decided on
their merits and not .subordinated to
party politics" This is. the truth about
the case. 1t is no wonder that the prop
osition commends itself to the Newark
view of the experience of recent elections,
that the Jersey City Republicans should
feel sure enough of their partisan
strength to welcome a plan designed to
draw tighter party lines at municipal
elections. x-a4re
