VISITING gowns show some new
v effects in the way of elaboration
produced by the use of the new
ombre taffeta. This is shaded in the
length of the silk from a very dark to
light, and is used for applications or in
crustations, either on fine net or the
much used MORE panne. The shading
of this silk makes it very handsome and
effective. The colors are pure white,
shaded to greens, blues or reds, or the
deep orange and royal blues. The
shaded browns lead in popularity.
One of the new visiting gowns
trimmed with this is made of black
cloth, with applique of black panne
outlined with a golden ombre taffeta.
The graceful hanging skirt has trails

"But it don't do to give up! What
with the fruit season and harvestin',

It's too bad!"

Your old worn-out body bids YOU be-

cheer of the season; leave home, and
take a vacation
Four solemn young faces turned
blankly to the stern one of the man
of science. Mother leave home! Jack
and Joe, Jim and Jerry (dimnutives
of Jacqueline, Josephine, Jemima and
Jerusha, the MERRY Jays') grasped
the situation at once, and realized it's
hopelessness. 1t is all very well for a
rich man to prescribe rest and
change. but another matter to follow
his. advice when the purse is f1abby
and family cares crying with a voice
which will not be comforted. 4 pit

hair cut close, and walked and talked
with a slight swagger) Take care

What a very absurd mani" the
mother exclaimed, dropping weakly
back against the pillow. "Why did
you send far him, girls?'

to the height of self-accusation, 'be-

Conservative Element Prevailed in the
Iowa Democratic Convention.
Dies MONIES. May 5.-The Democratic
state convention concluded its labors
late i'll the day. The prevailing senti-
ment was overwhelmingly for Bryan
and the delegates were instructed to
vote as n unit for him at Kansas City.
In the framing Of the platform the
more conservative element prevailed.
The Chicago platform is endorsed and
the gold standard denounced, but the
ratio Of IL to l does not appear in the
resolutions.
The selection of John S. Murphy, ed
itor OF the Dubuque Telegraph, was a
concession to the radical advocates of
free silver. Mr.. Murphy was at first
inclined 10 insist upon the inclusion of
numerals i'll the platform, but all differ
ences We're adjusted in the committee
on resolutions, the result being the re-
affirmation of the 1896 platform with.
out the direct mention of the ratio. The
convention adopted a resolution offered
by Former Congressman Walter But.
Ter providing that the delegates con-
tribute to q fund i'll aid Of the Beers.

Beers Not Expected to Make
Much Of a Stand South

LONDON, May 5.-News of the occu.
patton of Brandfort was issued by the
war office at 10 a. M, confirming a dis
patch previously received by the AS.
sociated Press. 1t is generally con-
sidered the most important communion
ton received from the front since the
capture of General Cronje and the re-
lief of Ladysmlth. The fact that the
position gives the key to one Of the main
roads leading to the DrakensberS passes,
which possibly may be the means OF CO.

provides an advance base Of operations,

~telligence.
The Doer army which was at Brand.
fort, commanded by General Delarv. is
presumably retiring on Winburg. which
will probably be the next objective Of
the British. Brandfort, 25miles nearer
the Transvaal capital, is now Lord Rob-
erts headquarters, What particularly
Gratifes the british Public
is the evidence that the army of Lord
Roberts il the Free State has recovered
its mobility and is again capable Of IN
dertuking the general advance SO long
retarded. Ii is hardly expected the
Beers will make much Of a stand south
of Kroonstadt. and possibly not there if
Lord Roberts succeeds in capturing
Winburg. thus interposing between the
main federal army and the Boer forces
in the neighbornood Of Thaba NCnu
and HourneE, III which case the latter
would be forced 10 moy far TO the east
ward, III which direction their mobility
would probably enable them TO reach
Bethlehem and Harrismith line Of
safety. The only opposition WHICH the
British encountered at Brandfort seems
to have come from the Irish-American
command. The central British army is
now in line with the extreme left at
Boshos, under Lord Methuen, and the
extreme right at Elandslaag1e. under
General Butler, SO that the movements
OF these wings IL cooperation with the
main army may shortly be expected.
