sion of the subject at that time,

1t is apparent that uniformity OF

several states is much to be desired
1t is to be hoped that such unllormi-
tv. founded in a wise and Just dis
elimination between what Is injurious
and what is useful and necessary IN
business operations, may be obtained
and that means may be found Tor
the congress, within the limitations
of its constitutional power, so to
supplement an effective code OF state
legislation as to make a complete
system of laws throughout the Unit
ed States adequate to compel a gen
eral observance of the salutary rules

From that commanding eminence he
proceeded to attack all Saba tarians,

Where did my friend spend that Sun
day in Paris? In the Louvre, tina IS

Sunday afternoon, where music by the

attention by masses of quiet, respectable
Parsians.

concerts? He would have seen no immo-

know that great masses of white have

49, COLLARS AND CUFFS.
| The most noteworthy change in collars
| will be in the patterns of high band col
| lars, which are likely to figure largely
| this winter, although primarily summer
| fabric. 1t is estimated that at least 10
per cent of collars for everyday wear
this winter will be of the high band va
riety, and numerous variations in its pat
terms may be expected. The patterns in
standing collars will be much the same
as last year, the variations being Largely
based on the whim of the wearer. To
those who like a close fitting collar 1t
will be welcome news to learn that coll
lars of divided sizes will probably be
placed on the market sizes being arr
ranged by the quarter inch instead of by
half inch divisions.
The attached cuff will figure largely in
public wear this winter, and as has been
said round point cuffs will be worn with
dress shirts, while there is likely to be a
| return to the square point cuff toward the
| end of the winter. Detachable cuffs will
| follow the same rule.
| HOSE MORE sSUBDUED.
/ Although the. epidemic of fancy patterns
developed by the low shoe will not permit
| the half hose of bright colors to pass
! away, the patterns viii be much more
+ conservative this winter. Gaudy stripes
| and figures will not be in good taste, and

| popular. Dark bodies with some lighter
l,nQbtrusive patterns, will be favorably
considered, while one novelty has been
