Harmony

In nine cases out of ten the reason
one woman looks better dressed than
another is that all the component
parts of her costume are In harmony

opportunity of comparing skirt with
waist and then selecting what accDrds
with your complexion and physique.
The styles we carry in these lines are
many and varied, and you are certain
to be suited.

HANNA'S FATE IN DOUBT.

The Senator Lacks Two Votes In the OhAo
Legislature for the Necessary Majority.
COLUMBUS, O., Jan. 5.-rhe political
future of Senator Mark Hanna Is GER
tainly in closely poised balance.
While there are now reported to be
only nine dissenters among the 80 re-
publican members, one in the sonata
and eight in the house, yet the really
doubtful list Is limited to two or three.
Some Of the dissenting republicans are
not likely ever to be reconciled to SEN
ator Hanna. They have burned the
bridges behind them and openly Cd
init it.
Representatives Griffith, Of Union,
and Joyce, Of Guernsey, who voted with
'the combine" on the organization OF
the house, stated yesterday that they
would vote for Senator Hanna. This
gives Hanna 81 in the house and II In
the senate, n total Of II, or two short
Of the necessary majority Droste, Of
Hamilton, who voted for Boxwell for
speaker, announced at the time that he
would support Jeptha Gerard, silver
republican, for senator, so that the net
gain for Hanna to date over the vote
on the organization is only one.
The Hanna men say they expect to
get the votes OF Scott, of Fulton, and
Rutan Of Carroll, who are instructed
for Hanna and voted with "the com
bine' on the organization. On the
other hand, "the combine managers
say that Scott and Rutan will remain
with them to finish and they expect
to get Snider, of Greene, and Redkay,
of Highland, who voted for Boxwell
for speaker.
