The Separate Silk Waist Has Not
Gone Out of STYLE

Gone Out of style.
From Harper's Bazaar.
One thing that has been positively de-
cided is that the separate silk waist has
not gone out Of style. If possible, there are
more separate silk waists exhibited than at
this time last year, and there are to be
found many different varieties of shape as
well as materials. They are made to be
worn with cloth skirts, as we'll as with silk
skirts, Tor morning, afternoon and theater
wear. These same shirt waists are made
with yoke. with fullness enough in front
to blouse, and with medium-sized sleeves
finished at the wrist with a cuff The new
style waists are all tight-fit If there
Is loose, graceful effect In front, the lin
ing is ught-fitting and boned There Is a
great deal of lace used in the trimming. as
well as narrow ribbons both of silk and
Veivet. The yoke effect has not gone out
OF style. Indeed, almost all of the new
waists nave the yoke and the straight piece
down the front of some material or color
different from the waist-lnen In narrow
tucks or SILK IN narrow tucks, in white
yellow, light blue or green any one Of
which is used for both the plain and fig
ured silks. The latest Is a bolero Jacket
ana strips or entre-deux in straight lines
down the front. Both black and white
laceS are used. Sometimes both are ussd
together. but the heavier qualities of lace
like Irish point and guipure, are more fash
lonaole by far than the French iaces that
were useo on the summer waists. All
waists come below the waist line. and are
finished with ribbon belt or a narrow belt
OF velvet. and fastened in front with a
buckle. Buckles and fancy buttons are one
or the points Of these new waists
With the new blue costumes this wear
there are shown some very odd silk waists
supposed to be correct for morning wear
as well as for afternoon and evening. The
snfartest are of corded silk (w'hite), cut
with yoke back and front. and then the
silk below the yoke bloused little Out
lining the yoke, coming down to a point in
the back and also in front, is some most
eHectiVs embroidery done by hand in silk
floss and spangles. 1t is of the shade Of tha
gown, outlined with shrimp pink and very
minute paillettes or iridescent steel The
YOKE and front OF the waist are of Irish
point lace. The sleeves are long and sx-
tend far down over the hand and bave a
ruffle of Irish point lace

MISS FLORA SHAW.
Something About the Colonial Editor
of LOndOn's Thunderer.


From the Montreal Herald.
Miss Flora Shaw. colonial editor of the
London Times made the entire journey
from London to Dawson City in thirty-one
days, braved the prtvations and dangers of
the Shaguay alone and unaided, travelled
the long miles of the Yukon. to Dawson and
back, without female companions and
without reliance on other than her own in
domitable spirit and her trust in the innate
chivalry of the race. And when it Is added
that not an insulting word or look greeted
her throughout the journey the Justification
for her faith is complete. The stories which
Miss Shaw will have to tell of her expert
enccS during the tOilSOme six weeks in the
far northwest, of how rough miners kept
unruly tongues in check when in her pres
ence, waited at dangerous places on the
trail to help her pass them, confided to her
their simple tales of loved ones left be-
hind, and in hundred little ways and by
hundred little offices showed their sym
pathy and respect-these stories will be
such as to increase the readers faith in
the basic soundness of human nature.
Miss Shaw apparently is a strong be-
lever in the axiom that she travels the
faster who travels alone and in her
Journeys for the Times invariably travels
as an individual unit, attaching herself to
no party and not assuming the RESPONSE
bilities and delays that might be incident
to companionship. But it must not be as
masculine character. On the contrary, she
is an English lady, quieA In all the sym
pathies of her sex, but endowed by nature
with power of will, of observation and of
expression that have found ample verge
and room in the subject to which she has
devoted all her energies-the relations of
England and her colonies, with particular
reference to the development of the world
empire that is evolving from the mother
land and her beyond-sea possessions. To
this work Miss Shaw has brought an en-
thusasm which carries her through diff
culties that would daunt almost all man
kind as well as womanknd. Her reward
has been found in the unique position she
holds one of the leading authorities on
those questions. now of such pressing in
terest, that relate to the empire as a whole.
1t may be said of Miss Shaw without exag-
geratiOn that she has not been by any
means the least of the forces working for
the unification of the empire. Her judg-
ment may sometimes be questioned, her
conclusions combated, but of her wide
knowledge of the men who are empire
building, her acquaintance with the move
mepts of which they are the motive power
her enthusiasm, her courage and her in
tellectual ability it is not easy to speak too
highly. Miss Shaw Is certainly one of the
remarkable women of the age.

New MuGs.

From the ST. Louis Republic
The novelties in muffs this year are more
beautiful than ever, though not designed
for comfort.
1t is said that some of the muffs really
have no openings for the hands. the only
concession to convenience being in little
pocket sewed upon the inside for the re-
ception of the handkerchief or tiny purse.
One of the prettiest muffs yet seen was
of shiny black silk broadcloth nearly half
a yard long. 1t was very narrow and was
almost completely covered with huge
bow of white ribbon brilliantly striped
with broad bands Of crimson. The ribbons
which held 1t around the neck were of
red and black doubfe-faced satin.

a republican victory. The Demo-
cratic organs, are trying to arouse
the democrats from their lethergy,
calling upon them to awake and
make a strong fight, or they are
beaten. Their shrewd politicians
see in the end defeat. They have
begun to realize that Fowler's
election is almost certainty, and
they now will try the grand stand
act. Thousands of good, honest
democrats will vote tor Fowler
They are tired of the "ring" tired of
paying enormous taxes for the pur-
pose of keeping some "pet" of the
ring at the pie counter. The Re-
publican Campaign Committe has
been husting, and have done ex-
cellent work, and the result will be
seen after the votes are counted.
Let East Tennessee do her part,
and there will be no doubt as to the
result. Line up republicans, do
your duty, vote for reform, lighter
taxes and general prosperity. Let
every republican in Blount County
go to the polls and vote, and Fow-
