If one desires to be economical there
are numberless dressy and graceful
paper-cape models furnished at all the
pattern houses upon which are printed
minute directions for the cutting and
making of capes of various shapes, with
suggestions, as usual, for the materials
to select and the number of yards re-
quired.
The pretty PARTISAN suitings' for
spring and summer costumes are de-
serving of special mention. Though in
expensive, in effect they very closely re-
semble the high priced cheviots and
English meltons, woven on foreign
looms. These Partisan suitings,' how
ever, are distinctly American, and will
wear nearly as we'll as the expensive
importation they so cleverly copy.
The newest chenille trimmings Of lat
ce-patterned bands, scrolls, bowknot
designs, etc, are very attractive as well
as becoming. Lightweight spring and
summer tailor cloths are dotted with it,;
silks and veilings, grenadines and nets,
striped or barred. with chenille lines Of
various widths. Silks and jet passemen-
and waved edges of this velvety trim
ming, which, in black and colors, is ap-
piled to skirts, bodices, sleeves, ruffles,
vests, revers, and collars in many novel
ways. None of the colored chenille
garnitureS compare in rich effect with
those in jet black Next to black, dark
Russian green is most attractive.
Most of the gowns for evening wear
for the coming season are cut out
square or rounding in the neck, and the
sleeves are made elbow length Chiffon
can be sllirred. tucked, or draped to
cover the neck if desirable. For those
who are tired of silk muslin, chenille
dotted net forms change that is not
only dainty and comparatively new, but
one that is becoming.
A fawn-colored English serge tailor
skirt worn with gray and violet
striped and dotted taffeta silk shirt
waist affords a dainty contrast to its
mcdernized Eton jacket of serge. This
form of jacket is not quite as youthful
in effect as the styles with shorter
fronts. The merits of the latter are not
to be overlooked when planning trav-
cling suit, for a certain severity of make

CITY AND DISTRICT.
Protests Against Bicycle Tax.

Mr.. John ]. Stephens of 1912 18th street,
a wheelman, has written the District Com
missioners protesting against the proposed
tax on bicycles. He bases his protest on
the following grounds:
Because it would be class legislation and
would be unfair, unequal and as unjust
as was thu income tax which the Supreme
Court recently declared unconstitutional
Because it would be an unequal and unjust
attempt to increase the revenues. while va
cant lots, business and speculative proper
ties are assessed at Tnreasonably low rates
as compared with the assessment of resi-
dences. Because II is proposed to discrimi-
rate against residents and taxpayers of
this city by exempting nOn-residents from
the provisions of the bill. Because it is
proposed TO discriminate against adult rid
ers by eXempting riders under certain
age. Because it will be an unjust discrimi-
nation against the only users of the streets
who do not even soil them. Because it is
unworthy the District Commissioners to
attempt 10 justify this unnecessary measure
by reason OF a similar law being in force
in other cities, whereas these bicycles are
taxed with the consent of riders, with the
understanding that money so raised shall
be used for the Improvement of the roads.
Because CT the inefficiency of the Commits
siOners of the District and of the police
force of the city regarding the condition
and uses of the streets.
