Thus docs New York spring poet sing:
"Of all the girls on land or sea, the
tailor girls the girl for me-" Precisely SO.
Place two women side by side dressed for
pronenading, one clad in silks and laces,
.he other in a ell-fitting cloth suit, and
nine men out of ten will pick the simpler
clad maiden as the winner.
Men as u rule like to see their wives,
sisters and sweethearts dressed in what
they call Something sensible as well as
stylish" And as the average woman
dresses to please some man, the present
rage for tailorbuilt suits is out Of defer
ence to the lords of creation.
Fashionable women of New York prom
enade along Broadway between the hours
Of four and six =. NJ, and the styles
chosen by them for street wear are u
criterion of what Is in good taste.
In London one sees the swagger set be-
fore noon on Regent and Bond Streets
Our leaders prefer the late afternoon, and
many well known faces are seen daily.
Mrs. j. Pooker Hamersley and Mrs
Frederic de Peyster arc always among the
observed Of all observers. They are elegant
looking women as well as excellent
dressers. ~

Whenever his Successor Shall
Have Been Named
Have Been Named

Washington, D. c., Dee. 21.-(Spe-
cial.)-North Carolina is to get another
plum in the foreign service, and the re-
cipient is a negro. His name is Profess
sor ]. I'll. Smythe, of Wilson. His ap-
pointment as minister to Liberia was
agreed on to-day, and will be officially
announced after the holiday recess. Inc
professor is endorsed by Senator Pritch-
ard.
There is no denying the fact that
Mr.. Pritchard stands close to the Pres
ident and gets almost everything he
goes after.
1t is given out tonight that Senator
Pritchard will succeed Judge Dick, who,
it is SAID has communicated with the
President on the subject. Judge Dick,
so the story goes, will retire whenever
the President agrees on his successor,
and unless there is change in the
program, Pritchard will be the lucky
man. In the event of Pritchard's trans
fer to the bench, Virgil Lusk, the
knowing ones say, vii be appointed to
the vacancy in the Senate.
