For the Smyrna Times


Among New Year gowns, velvet has a
conspicuous position, with this advan-
tage, that if black or in dark color or
gray, it is suitable for street or car
riage wear as well, by street wear how
ever, short prOmenades in handsome
localities being meant, rather than pro-
longed or utility expeditions in crowded
and jOstling thOroughfares. Gray is
the one light shade considered suitable
for outdoor wear, but this most trying
hue is avoided by all women who un
derstand the becoming in dress, unless
gifted with exceptionally fresh COM
plexiOns. For indoor receptions or
elegant carriage wear, delightful gowns

rendered extremely dressy by orna-
mentatiOn of jet embroidery on the

LACE GOWNS

having been revived, are received with
extreme favor by matrons of all ages
and of course have the advantage of
chameleon like variety according to
the silk or satin Innings placed beneath
them. They admit of far more latitude
as to cOice than velvet, since women of
all proportions can wear lace. modifi-
cations being effected by different
styles in making, but velvet suits only
the tall and slender, being furthermore.
quite unsuitable for girlish wearers.
Not a few rich New Year dresses are
IN satin relieved by combinations of
brocade and trimmings of lace since
satin is material rarely seen without
some modification and never in good
taste when made up alone. Russian
blouse effects still lead for corsages
but 1t is to be hoped that with the
opening Of Spring, such ungraceful
lines will fall into comparative disuse.
AS to the making of the corsages. no
rule or description is possible, since
everything seems practicable and
nothing inappropriate, provided it can
add to fullness OF intricacy in general
result, but one feature deserves en-
phasis and it is the constant use of
gujmpes by which dress waists can be
made high or low upon occasion. They
are a great source of economy and
beautify as well.

THE GREAT EVENTS OF 1907.

Inc year Just closed has been in
some respects the most remarkable in
the country's history. 1t has been .
year OF exceptional disasters and re-
verses III few lines, but of unprecod-
ented excess and production in MANI.
Inc yield of corn i'll the west was far
peIo" expectations, though, ACCORDING
TO latest reports, it is above theaveraoe
Tor this or any previous decade bnt
potatoes and apples are unusually
scarce. In bicycle manufacture. he
cause OF the excessive production
which usually follows the general
adoption of new invention, and in the
cotton manufacture, owing to bad
management by some New-Bedford
mills, Of which seven failed for over
S8'OOO,OOO early in the year, the con-
unued overproduction by many others
and the heavy decline in material. there
nave been some heavy failures.
In important lines the years pro-
ductlon has surpassed all records.
Though the yield of wheat falls below
the maximum, it was in many States
remarkably heavy, and, considering
the price obtained for it, the crop is
likely to prove the best ever raised
except one. The yield of cotton has
been the largest ever produced. if is
probable, and so large that the excess
has been cause of much loss and mis-
fortune. The production of iron has
been probably, and its consumption
certainly, the largest ever known in
this or any other country, and the out
put OF iron ore has surpassed all rec
ords. The production of boots and
shoes at points for which definite rec
ords exist has surpassed that of anv
previous year, and accounts from other
centres OF the manufacture Indicate a
corresponding expansion. In electri
cal machinery, copper, tinplates and
many minor branches, the manufacture
has surpassed all records, and during
the last five months in woolen goods.
30 great has been the gain in manv
branches of industry that, notwith-
standing low records during the first
half Of the year, complete returns for
the first half must be received before
1t can be determined whether the full
year, output has ever been exceeded
or not.
In foreign trade it has been sur
prlsing year. The exports have been
the largest ever reported in any wear.
1t now seems certain, Notwithstanding
the low price of many products. The
imports were remarkably heavy dur
ing part OF the year. Investments by
foreigners in various industrial enter
prlses in this country have been heavy
this year, and others of Importance are
in progress. Rarely have there been
twelve months with less disturbance in
money markets, and perhaps at no
previous time has there been less dis
trust OF the currency or anxiety re-
garding the monetary future
No other year since 1879 has witness
sed so great an improvement in the
of the people as has been
seen in 1897, if, indeed, 1879 has not
been surpassed in that respect.

long been established and this season.
even neckties and sashes have been
completed by this omnipresent garni-
ture, which because so stylish and
having an element of exclusiveness, is
in the more favor among wearers who
wish to present a handsome appear
ance. Large purchases are now being
made in accessory fur garments that
can be worn over jackets or capes at
present: during warm weather, they
form an admirable protection on piaz-
zas or while driving and the fact that

tent.

CLOTH COSTUMES

braided or stitched in quilting pat
terms, are reckOned extremely stylish
and those showing ingenious devices
in other designs, have special prestige
for outdoor wear, even dinner gowns
in light colored or white cloth or cash
mere, being worn by a class who well
come a change from richer material.
Of course the fabric is the finest of it's
kind and some young women of fair
complexion, have white embroidered
IN gilt, a combination that would in
most cases be found fatal. Braiding in
black however, is most common and
when done upon blue, deep red, mauve
or tan, has an excellent effect and is
not trying. Some skirts are elegantly
adorned, bnt many again areplain with
richly Ornamenated corsages.

Mary Ann on Harmony.
Editor Representative:

My Dear Sir:-When Senator Marion
Butler was In Minneapolis, he appeared
before our mid-road Populists' commit
tee and l thought perhaps your readers
would like to hear the truth of the har-
angue he gave us. He first stated that
the all-important thing to do is to pre-
serve not an organization but the prin-
ciples; but he failed to tell us how the
principles could be preserved without an
organization. Second, he pointed out
that the all-impCrtant factor is harmony.
Yes, l thought, the harmony that he is
advising means harm for the Peoples
money. Then to correct himself he slut
tered that he did not mean a harmony
that would compromise on principles but
only on policy. Again 1 thought that it
must be the following after harm
money-of policy" that led Marion But
Ter from his original position as Demo-
crat to a Populist, then Republican,
fusionist, again a Populist then Demo-
crat-fusionist and now full fledged Chi
go-Bryan-Democrat. Senator Butler
then advised us that difference of opin-
ion in our own party was necessary in
order to make our party aggressive and
excite discussion and feeling so as to
produce a lively convention. I never be-
fore heard general recommending such
tactics before battling with the enemy
Did you? The peroration of his stam-
mering but specious talk, stated with a
smirk on his lips, was to lead us to COM
promise on the date Of the convention.
Did the hand Of compromise ever yet
gain battle or run up the flag of vic
tory? No. but it gains the time Mary
Ann wants to hold his craftsmanship

Editor Representative:
Dear Sir:-I notice many Of the breth-
rem are through The Representative stat
ing their views in regard to the time OF
holding the next national convention.
l shall vote for an early convention
but not earlier than 1900. No man can
If he does his duty by the party, bear up
under the strain of so long a campaign
II a nomination Is made next summer
And If the nomination was made Of a
man so derelict in duty as our present
national chairman then indeed would a
short campaign be commendable. In
spite of the official declaration Of our
national chairman after the st. Louis
convention that we would have no
further fusion with Democracy we find
him on the very day that our fellows
were engaged in lifting Populism out OF
the fusion gutter-rallying our army
after the rout-calling the roll to ascer-
tain how many had survived-we find
him closeted and in close communion
with the Democratic national chairman.
He cannot in this instance excuse his
absence by lodging behind that con-
venient screen-that a majority of the
national committee disapproved Of it.
The touching fondness of the two ma
tional chairmen for each other suggests
the words of the old Greek author,
Theocritus, "Sleep on happy pair,
breathing into each others bosom love
and desire and forget not to rise toward
morning" Also in Ecclesiasttcs, 8:6, we
find verfication Of their conduct: "All
flesh consorteth according to kind and
a man will cleave to his like the birds
will return to their like" The plotting
Of Butler with Bond Bill Jones bodies no
good to the Peoples party. A man SUI
ficiently corrupt to be acceptable as a
member Of Cookers Tammany club
would be decidedly unsafe as a counselor
for the best interests of the Peoples
party.
Bryan and Jones are both conscripts,
Both were forced into the fight for free
silver through fear Of the dissolution OF
their own party
If Jones bill had become law there
would be no greenbacks left for the Re-
publicans to retire. We would be very
clever people indeed, If We would only
die and stay dead. But like Bancho's
ghost we will not down. Yours for the
triumph Of the Omaha platform.

one thousand Populists in this state that
will contribute one dollar each to the

will be one of five hundred to contribute
two dollars each so as to make up the
one thousand dollars. I have given
some time and money to the cause since
l voted for Peter Cooper and have taken
an active interest in every campaign
from that time up to the present, and ex-
pect to in the future.
Hoping that the appeal Of Chairman
Gibbs will be responded to and that the
committee will be able to clear the decks
for action before the next campaign
opens. is the wish Of yours in the cause
of the people.
Of such timber is the foundation OF
the Peoples party constructed. Shall
we build thereon. of like material a
grand temple dedicated to justice and
equality, wherein the triumphant votar-
les can worship at the shrine of the
Brotherhood Of Man, or shall we allow
pot-hunting politicians, led by men who
wish to borrow us to help them "get

temple dedicated to expediency and
