The skirt was trimmed with three bands
of dark blue ribbon velvet extending in
points at the left side instead of the 'front.'
as is usually noticed.
The jacket was lined with blue satin and
fitted close to the figure The seams and
edges were stitched twice around, as all
the tailor-made jackets are stitched this
year. The vest was of deep blue chiffon
over lining of white, and the belt was also
of blue, finished by two long ends. which
fell smoothly upon the skirt The sleeves
were small, and the collar was a high Me-

The godmother of the little new conner
wore a very chic toilette of plaid goods.
The skirt was an exceedingly graceful af-
fair, profusely trimmed with lovers knots
of plaid ribbon. 1t was of aluminium gray
popin. The overskirt was of the same
color traced In a beautiful shade of purple.
and In the center of each square was a tiny
dot of purple silk raised upon the surface
of the goods.
The bodice bloused over belt OF gray
ribbon. 1t fastened upon the right side, at
which there was jabot ruffie OF the plaid
goods lined with gray. Bands OF gray
trimmed the overskirt, and rufie of gray
silk was fastened inside the high, snug
fitting collar.
The third caller was very smartly gowned
In toilette of English suiting.
The bodice had some fulness at the front,
and was rather out of the ordinary in de-
sign. 1t fastened diagonally across the
'front.' falling back from over very pretty
chemisette of white linen. The fulness ex-
tended from the under arm seams all the
way across the front, adding much stout
ness to the figure, which is really very
slender
Trimmings Slanted

tened was very novel-or at least should
say the trimming upon the fastening was
novel-for the gown was really held to-
gether with hooks and eyes. Upon the
overlapping side was sewed small round
silk buttons, the same color as the braid.
On the opposite side were little loops Of
brown silk cord. which were drawn over
the buttons until the opening was entirely
concealed.
worn with this toilette was a Roxane
toque In Wood-brown velvet At the left
side were the brilliant breast and wings of
a red bird. A little lower down at the foot
of the crown was a rosette Of cafe-au-lait
double satin ribbon with corded edge.
The fair purchaser wore suede gloves to
match her gown, and her sleeves were
stitched around the hand, with no other
finish.
The other young woman wore gown also
made after the Princess order, but the skirt
was arranged differently. There was an
underskirt of black uncut velvet, over
which fell an overskirt of black and white
shepherd plaid. The edge of the overslkirt
was decorated with black silk braid, and
at the front there was q corner design OK
the same braid outlined upon pieces of
white satin arranged In decorative shapes.
The Bodice
The bodice had revers of black velvet,
which broadened at the shoulders and ia
pered off to point at the bust line. Below
this point was an elaborate trimming of
the white satin and braid. put on the same
design as was seen upon the corners of the
overskirt. The neck was finished with
double ruff1e of black chiffon.
The hat worn with this gown was one of
the most beautiful 1 have ever seen. 1t
was made of pure white felt. The brim
was jetted with brilliant black beads almost
its full width. The front reached we'll over
the eyes, but the back was bent perfectly

been cut off exactly square.
The crown was very small affair of
white satin. 1t was also very fiat. AT the

UNDERWOOD ON
THE SHIPPING BILL

pand American shipping in the interest of
American manufacturers. 1t is intended to
give an immense subsidy to the Interna-
tional Navigation company, and probably
pay a subsidy to few tramp steamers
that are now owned by American citizens.
The vicious feature of the bill is that 1t
will not increase American shipping, but
that if it becomes a law we will not be able
to get rid of it for the next twenty years,
for according to its provisions congress
may only amend or repeal the act subject
to the obligation of the contracts existing
at the time of such amendment or repeal
Therefore a contract made today, no mat
ter of what little service it may be to the
people of the United States, no matter how
onerous it may be in it's burdens, cannot be
repealed, and will have to be borne for the
next twenty years.
I opened this speech by calling your at
tention to some of the pledges that you
made to your constituents which are yet
untitled, but before concluding allow me to
call your attention to few things for
which this congress will live in history
1t will go down in history as the congress
that has increased the taxes on the people
to greater extent than any congress since
the civil war, as the congress that has
made greater appropriations and drafts on
the public treasury than any congress
since the civil war, and as the congress
that has authorized the only issue of bonds
since the resumption of specie payments
the issue during Cleveland's administration
not having been issued with the consent of
congress, but under the old law.
With it's numerous raids on the treasury
In the way of appropriations, and the bur-
dens it has laid on the people by increased
taxes we may well ask what are the prin-
cinles that hold the republican party to-
gether-what are the principles for which
your followers contend? In the light of re-
cent events we may well conclude that the
only cord that binds your party together
is the cohesive strength of public plumber.

left side were full loops of reversible ribbon
that was white upon one side and black
upon the other. Back of these loops were
two three-quarter ostrich plumes, very full
and of extraordinary lustre.
At caudle afternoon not long ago I saw
some tailor-made gowns, all strictly street
dresses. A caudle afternoon is one in which
you go to admire the new baby and see the
trousseau which is spread out for inspec-
tion.
At a caudle afternoon one pretty guest
wore a walking toilette of Scotch material
which consisted of jaunty little coat and
a full skirt. The predominant color in the
material was a new shade Of green called
tea-leaf green, while miscellaneous threads

Paris, February A.-The Paris woman,
who is generally devout Catholic, seizes
upon Lent as an excuse for the wearing
of pretty tailor-made gowns-quiet but be-
coming. She has dresses for every Lenten
occasion, and even her charities have CO.'S

birds. She raises them on the premises.

warm days. selling her canaries to couple

The skirt was long and sweeping, with
the braided idea carried out upon 1t at the
left side. 1t was made over a drop skirt
of brilliant red taffeta, upon which there
was a deep accordion plated ruffie, which
gave a charming touch of color to the
whole toilette when the overskirt was lift

The hat was dark red velvet one with
a broad brim. The trimming, which was
Of red ribbon, was arranged high at the

One of the Americans wore a Princess
gown of cafe-au-lait broadcloth trimmed in
fancy wood-brown braid. The braid was
two inches wide, and was composed of mar
row, fiat bands of silk sewed up and down
and across each other to form little
Squares.
The gown fitted the figure closely, no full
ness being allowed except at the foot of the
skirt. At this point the skirt fared in
graceful folds, which formed an abbrevi-
ated train at the back. The trimming was
put upon the front of the skirt In pointed
design, then it curved gracefully down.

Easy OF Explanation.

Under the head of council proceed
ings, the Observer of yesterday has the
following: "Sealed bids for the official
printing for the coming year we're read
the Enterprise bidding 80 cents per
square and the Observer bidding 36
cents for the same work. On Adams
motion the council went into secret
session. 1t was learned afterwards,
that notwithstanding the council had
invited secret bids, the official printing
was given to the highest bidder"
We know Of a good reason for this
No doubt the council took into consid-
GRAFTON the difference in the bona fide
circulation Of the two papers. On that
basis bid OF 30 cents per square by
us is very much lower than bid Of 50
cents per square by the Observer.
The city fathers know a good thing
when they see it.

used to monopolize. If you will notice

How Grapefruit Pays.

G. E. Coons, the genial postmaster
of Palmetto, on the Manatee river was
in the city yesterday combining bust
ness with pleasure. In answer to a
question concerning the condition of
the vegetable and fruit growers of the
Manatee country he stated to Trib-
une representative that they were new
en- in better shape Says he: ''The truck
growers are now shipping several va
rieties of vegetables in carload lots and
the prices are the highest they ever re-
ceived at this season of the year. We
will soon recover the loss sustained to
our vegetables by the late freeze and
by the end of the season will be in
much better shape than if no freeze
had occurred. A large amount of our
vegetables were saved by artificial
means, such as cabbage, celery, let
tuce, Strawberries, etc. These are be-
ing shipped. Tomatoes, peas, beams
and other varieties, planted since the
freeze are coming along rapidly and
shipments wild go forward i'm a few
weeks.
''By the way, you can say to the
Tribune readers that I have just eight
