tailoring device that deserves the high
est encomiums from women. This is the
skirt with the detachable bottom. A
skirt is cut that drops to about golf
length and then quite separate from 1t,
is made a slightly gored fiounce, along
the top edge of which are worked many
small buttonholes. Now, when the day
does not promise a smiling face the
skirt is worn out under its abbreviated
guise. but if the eye of the morning Is
clear. then the buttonholes in the top
of the flOunce piece are brought into
connection with a series of little but
tons running along the inside of the
skirts bottom, and ia about one mo-
ment a complete full length walking
garment of the latest Fashionable form
is the result.
White Mohair Dresses.
White mohair ought to be mentioned
as one of the fabrics we are bound to
see "a great deal of this summer. Pure
cream white is what the dressmakers
are using, and it is one of the goods
that lends itself admirably in the make
up of a perfectly plain suit. 1t can be
either wrought out as a skirt and short
coat. to wear with snowy silk and lace
shirt fronts, or you can order white
mohair from your dresSmaker, the
waist to button UP in the back,
and the skirt to drop over a coiored silk
slip.
To get the best effect, of course. the
mohair is pierced here and there with
inlets of guipure figures, through the
mesh of which the under silk shows, or
from waist To line hem lines of lace
insertion radiate and the green,
mauve. or rosy taffeta appears most
shoWily.
The dress waist that buttons up be-
hind is demonstrating its popularity
every day, and by this means it is pos
sible for woman of slender and
graceful proportions TO display her fig
ure to the most interesting advantage,
and particularly we'll do these severely

There is a new-shaped water bag
long and round, like a big sausage

other ne warticle of rubber is an air

is used, ii is needless to say, by in

Not content for all these arrange

the last year the cigarette and even,

New York, May 3.-The tailors always
have an allowance of new and pretty
notions on hand, and their latest proof
of this is shown by facing the lapels OF

strong appeal to women of a thrifty

that the lace does soil in time, it is also

The Republican convention next Monday
from all indications promises to be decorous
gathering. The white dove of peace will
hover over the convention hall and the dele
gates will all wear olive branches on the lapel
of their coats. The precedent sCt by the
DemOcrats-of being so boisterous and ex-
uberant that officers of the law were called
to restore order-will not likely be emulated
In fact, the convention will be as decorOus
and solemn as Quaker prayer meeting-un-
less, of course, the unexpected happens and
the hatchets are again dug up and factional
strife declared.
