many Interesting stories. but nothing new
will be found. Witnesses have already
testified that the police were paid fixed
sums to permit dives to do business ana
that the police shared the proceeds OF
robberies committed. Men have told how
they paid a fixed price for PERMISSION TO
violate the law The same facts were told
to the Fassett committee nine years ago
and to the Lexow committee five years ago.
None of this is new to the people of New
York The city is no worse, In fact 1t Is
rather better, than it was five or ten years
ago, and these investigations merely bring
out as sworn testimony the fact that
money will buy anything in New York.
from places on the bench to n permit to run
a badger game. The gambling houses ana
the dives have been run rather openly I'M
der the present Tammany administration
but the indecent wickedness that cannot he
suppressed is not so public as it was few
years ago.
With the Mazet committee promising a
deeper probing than ever before there came
to notice of the police and the newspapers
this week a case of moral depravity, OF
wide ramifications. that would shock the
worst quarters of London or Paris. NO
more than a vague hint of the nature OF
the crimes, on which band of blackmail-
ers have grown rich could appear IN the

tinguished from 1t. At the conservatoire
reception before referred to one of the
guests wore a coat of white pique figured
in musweteer blue, the shade which Du-
mas describes as "color between celestial
blue and dregs of old wine" 1t is some
thing like wedgewood but more hazy. 1t
may be called the new blue, the most popu-
lar blue of the season.
This pfque coat, which was a cut-away,
was -bordered with ribbon velvet put on
in scollops. 1t had a vest of very thin
goods crossed with narrow bands of vel
vet and at the front there was a very large
chiffon bow.
All of these goods are wash goods The
gowns cannot be put in the tub and scrub
bed, nor rubbed upon the banks of the
river between stones, but they are mater
ials which do not spot in a shower and
which bear the dew and the seashore
dampness well. They can be worn a sea-
son without cleaning and so they fulfill
the mission of wash dresses.
The age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1897-1902, 1899-04-23

the straw hats were forced out into the
cold weather before their time and the
consequence is rush of the season along
the line. 1t is surprising how many wash
dresses are now seen in the street; and how
crowd one season upon the other. Winter
fingers in the lap of spring only as far as
the weather is concerned, for in dress 1t
is now halmy June although the March
winds are whstling throughout April
At reception given a few days ago by
an American woman who Is spending the
spring IN Paris there were some beautiful
spring gowns made of light, almost wash,
fabrics. This reception was given in the
newest American fashion in the conserva-
toire where boughs of green and great
punches of apple blossome overhung the
fair guests.
One of the gowns which was decidedly
SNOWY from Its pattern was of plaid dimi-
ty in bright red and dull black figures. 1t
was made with curious bodice effect with
a vest of embroidery set in. The skirt was
in three divisions, one skirt falling over
the other to form double oyerskirt. The
waist was trimmed in a large curved pat
tern of plaid ribbon, put on to outline the
body from the yoke. The skirt was trim
med with the same thin plaid ribbon and
there was a very large knot at one side
with ends hanging to the floor.
FIGURED GAUZE HOLDS SWAY.
Another dress was of figured gauze
Gauze is to be extremely fashionable this
year and you see it in all colors. 1t is
taking The place of organdie to certain
extent and you can find it beautifully fig
ured and striped. This gown was made of
three kinds. of gauze. The bodice and over
skirt were of the figured gauze the un-
derskirt was of the gauze in swirling pat
tern and the entire suit was trimmed with
striped gauze
There were many pretty effects in tuck
ed yol1es and sleeves. The tucks are SO
tiny that you can scarcely tell what they
are from a distance. They appear more
like a cording. Owing to their narrowness
they launder well and the tucked sleeves
can be nicely done up all the season.
Many Of the most elegant of the new
summer dresses have figures embroidered

newspapers, and while some rich men are
among the victims the police are powerless
to do anything because they cannot get
witnesses.
Not Altogether Bad
New York is not altogether bad by any
means There is wickedness in endless va
riety, of course, and the fact is advertised
all over the country by Investigating COM
mittees.
The conditions are not new to any con-
siderable portion of the citizens. That men
are in politics to make money is known.
1t is a business here just as selling dry
goods or policy slips A man who serious
ly contended that he entered New York
city politics with no selfish motive, would
be classed as a rank hypocrite. When bus
mess men, corporations or criminals want
favors from politicians or political parties
in this city they expect to pay for them
and if they don't pay they don't get them.
That is a well understood condition, and
legislative investigations can only bring to
light new matters of detail. "Get money"
expresses the chief aim in life of the aver
age New Yorker, and If he can get it for
himself he is not prone to quarrel with his
neighbours method of getting some.

Cured to every one who heard Croker rem
der the queens English. If he had con-
fessed to making $10.000,O00 out of politics,
if he had brazenly admitted accepting a.
fee from every man he put in office the
New York public would not have been
shocked. But when this man, whose pow
er Is greater than that of any other private
citizens in the world, began to answer: II
disremember;" mot as 1 knows Of" 81
amt seen i'm done it, 81 never done
nothin';' the public gasped with amuse-
ment. No admission of political wrong do
ing that the boss could have made would
have shattered his public reputation so
quickly and completely as did the expos
ure of the act that he has not outgrown
the manners and the dialect of the sur
roundings from which he fought his way
by brute force to the position he now
holds
Ten days ago the citizens of New York
of every class and creed would turn to look
after Boss Croker wherever he passed
and in their faces might be seen something
of respect or admiration. He was regarded
as a really great man. That public feel
ing towards the Tammany chief has been
destroyed and in future when he walks
abroad people will look after him only to
smile or to sheer. Public curiosity as to
where or how Croker got It," is in eclipse
and men of all classes are asking each
other how such man could become the
absolute ruler of the greatest city of the
western world.

with a wedgewood blue lawn which had
four-leaf clover embroidered upon ii. The
clover leaves were marked first with
pencil the modiste told me, and were then
careiessly worked in long, loose stitches in
Kinsington style. The design, she assured
me, was not difficult and could be easily
copied by any woman with a taste for
fancy work. The secret in working them
was not to place the clover leave too close
together, three or four being all were re-
quired upon the front of the bodice, and

This dress was trimmed around the skirt
and overskirt and across the yoke with the
new ruching which resembles a double ruff
file as much as anything else. To make
the new ruching you take chiffon, or IL
it be for wash dress, the finest of wash
gauze or lawn or dimity and make dou-
bic puff. Now, when you have finished
making the puff, cut off the outer edge SO
that it leaves four raw edges of the goods.

which is greatly used for trimming.
