GLOVES AND DAINTIEs.
A Handsome Gown for an Anderson
WOman-Basques Are Again
Worn.

The merchants were not a little disap-
pointed in the trade during the chrysanthe-
| mum show. They looked forward to it as
| a week when outside people would take ad-
| vantage of the low railroad rates and come
to indianapolis to purchase winter clothing
as well as do their holiday shopping Had
the weather been fine, there is no doubt but
the results would have been favorable, but
as yet very few railroad fares have been
refunded to purchasers of twenty-five dol
lars worth or more

beginning to take a holiday air and the
novelties of the season are displayed in

garments department. Dame Fashion has
