meat which makes the monthly bills

tough ends from rib roasts, fat ends
from mutton chops, bones from sirIoin,

FRESH FASHION NOTES.
Items About Dress Which Interest
the Ladies'.

The variety in millinery braids is
practically endless. The soft and lus-
trous chip hats that have been SO much
liked for the past few seasons, appear
in the familiar shapes, and u number
of new patterns and designs. There
has never been more popular material
and, while it is not specially durable
it is SO attractive and Becoming that no
one is inclined to find fault with it for
this one deficiency.
A dress of soft, light weight ben
gal1ne has a two-secs ton skirt. The top
portion is gathered full, and the
Gounce, which seems by present-day
standards enormously full, is set on
to the upper part with puffs and ruff
fes. The skirt opens at the front over
an plated peiticoat of soft
silk. The edges of the skirt are fin
ished with puffs, and the founce has
a garniture of half dozen rows OF
fancy ribbon. The upper portion OF
the skirt is shirred yoke, and the
waist, which is in blouse fashion, is
shirred also; the sleeves are made OF
masses of narrow puffings, and from
the shoulder across the front to the
waist-line on the opposite side is
ruche of chiffon, so full that it resem-
bles the petals of chrysanthemum.
A dainty evening dress is made OF
taffeta and lace. The foundation skirt
is of accordion plated taffeta. On
either side of the skirt, set well back,
are two perpendicular rows Of lace
cdging put on cascade fashion. These
rows reach the waist over the hips,
almost exactly opposite to each other.
From these points a drapery falls in
apron fashion to the foot of the skirt
Immediately in front. This drapery is
edged with lace and a garland of arti-
fetal flowers. The waist is covered
with drapery of lace, and epaulettes
of plated silk stand high over the
shoulders.
A handsome theater waist is made of
yellow gauze embroidery, in gold dots.
This has lining of heliotrope satin,
which fits the figure perfectly. The
neck is cut square. and across the
lower edge of the open front is band
of heliotrope velvet, embroidered with
Jewels. A band of similar velvet en-
circles the throat. and is fastened with
a rich clasp; the sleeves are puffs.pf'the
rauze over satin, and the shoulder
trimmings are narrow ruf1es of the
gauze, hemmed and trimmed at the
edges with tiny beads of various colors,
One of the most elegant Of evening
dresses is made Of black silk muslin
and cut jet. The square neck is filed
in with pale yellow chiffon. The cor
sage is almost covered with the beaded
embroidery. The skirt is in panels ont
lined by jet bands; the sleeves are
nlaited and trimmed with narrower
bands of beading. Very full epaulettes
have narrow beaded fringe at the edges
Embroidery and jewels are lavishl!y
used upon dressy costumes. A Paris
creation has the front Of the waist, the
frontbreadthe Of the skirt. the epaulettes
and the. upper sides of the sleeves
wrought in almost solid embroidery. 4
1t is the extreme of style to dress
handsomely, and yet in such a manner

indicates what General Agent Ripley has
always contended-tne people were standing
with the Lone Star company. II has been
said that this line could not get into Hous-

which, however is untrue, as the Bay

scented.
Austin. Texas, March 31--A few days
after the hearing which resulted in the
PRONUNCIATION by the railroad commission
of the since Withdrawn emergency rate OF
81 cents per 100 pounds for the transport
tation OF cotton from Texas common points
to Galveston, The Post correspondent, in
writing about the language used by GER
tain railway officials who had been quoted
as expressing opinions concerning said
emergency rate, referred to an interview
reported TO have been had with General
Manager Trice OF the International and
Great Northern, and questioned the pro-
priety OF the complaint attributed to that
gentleman that his road was being pun
ished for some one else's sins. as IL had
been shown that the International had re-
Gently hauled cotton from common point
territory to Galveston at less than their
tariff rates, this assertion being based upon
the testimony OF one OF the railroad com
MISSIONS employees. In explanation of the
particular Transactions which were the
basis of the exception taken to Mr. Trlce's
protest against the emergency rate and
concerning which one of the commissions
expert accountants was called to the stand
to testify when the matters which brought
about the publication OF SAID emergency
rate were being publicly considered, The
Post correspondent has been furnished the
following:
Some time In February last the Inter
national and Great Northern billed some
cotton from New Braunfels and Goodwin
at so cents per 100 pounds, which cotton
was compressed at Taylor, where new bill
ing was issued for the compress charges of
10 cents per 100 pounds, which were paid by
the railroad. It being claimed that this is
universal practice, irrespective OF
whether the cotton is destined to point
within the State or beyond the limits OF the
State, the reason given for its adoption
being that when cotton originating at
non compress point arrives at compress
point and Is there compressed the agent at
the compress point pays the cost OF COM
preston, and in order to obtain credit for
the expenditure II is essential for him TO is
sue new baing. In brief, the claim is
that in the cases referred to the Internal
tional and Great Norther2 received 80 cents
per 100 pounds net for the transportation
of the cotton. The other question involved
IN these transactions. namely. that of TIE
violation of the commissions compress and
concentration rules, Is met with the asser-
ton that the shipments were interstate and
international and beyond the commissions
jurisdiction. On this point there Is COLI
troversy between the commission and the
railro>d but the representatives of the
latter announce themselves ready to main
tain their position.
