Ladies' Skirt With Overskirt Having
Front Gore and Box Piait in Back,
No. 1889.
(Hints by May Manton. J

(Hints by May Manton.A
Combinat of cloth and velye
or panne are extremely fashionable
and many beautiful effects arc
made with these materials in two
tones of the same color in prefer
ence to contrasting shades.
AS illustrated, this stylish over.
skirt is made OF china blue Lans
downe, the undersllirt being faced
to a considerable depth with panne
in deeper blue.
The front gore of the overskirt is
comparatively narrow. The cir.
cular aide gore fits smoothly over
the hips, extending almost to the
center back, where it meets the
single box plait, which is arranged
to fit perfectly flat and smooth at
the waist line in narrow plat,
widening toward the floor. This
fullness falls in graceful folds, re-
tanning the box plat effect.
The lower edge of the overskirt
is shaped in unique scalloped ont
line, stylishly finished with rows of
machine stitching.
The underskirt is stiffened with
Donna skirt facing, which is shap-
ed to fit the skirt and comes in all
colors.
Effective skirts in this mode NAV
be made OF Venetian, prunella,
henrietta or pop.in, with silk or vel
vet facing on the undershirt. Soft
toulard and India silks may be used
for the drapery and the underskirt
trimmed to a considerable depth
with plaitings Or ruffies Of lace rib
bon or silk.
TO make this skirt in the medi-
um size will require four yards of
material tifty-four inches wide,
with four yards Of velvet twenty
two inches wide. The pattern, No.
1889, is cut in sizes for p, "a, %,
Is and 3O-inch wa ist measure.
This pattern can be secured by
filling in the blank below and send
ing it to REPUBLICAN office with the
price.

Austin, Jan. 26.--Yesterday in the

congress for its course in the Brigham

we are opposed to the practice of
polygamy, at the same time we COM
mend Roberts for his manly course
in refusing to abandon his plural
wives and their children, and it is the
opinion Of this house that if all the

of violation Of the moral code of the
character charged against said Roberts
