When an Eastern Democrat reads
the result Of the Fusion State Conven-

Bryan's home state, yesterday, a sick

On the state ticket the Populists have
the candidates for governor, secretary
of state, treasurer, aiiitor and land
commissioner. The Silver Republicans
have the Acknowledgements. and the
Democrats have the Encouragement.

PARIS. Jan. 11.-These huge floral mo-
tifs which the eye encounters everywhere
about the wardrobe of the fashionable wo-
man may be exaggerated, but there is no
gainsaying that they are exceedingly chic
and they impart that elegant conspicuity
TO a toilette which is the aim of both
dressmaker and weaver. In streets gowns
the conventional floral arabesques are
usually cut out of the cloth and underlaid
with silk or satin of contrasting shade
upon which they are appliqued with rows
OF silk stitchings; on evening and house
gowns they are formed by artistic en-
broideries in natural shades and embei-
lished by metal thread or jet or spangles,
or they are fashioned of the gossamer web
of fairy-iike lace, which has taken patient

and machine msde guipures. Both modes
OF decoration are illustrated in two ex-
quislte models fresh from the famous
workshops of Robert and Doucet
The Robert gown is very simple in ,orm.
The skirt is clinging with slight flare
below the knees and closes at the back
under a deep box pleat. The material is a
rich soft faille of shimmerng ivory shade
and it is made up over well-ftting drop
skirt Of ivory taffeta finished with a deep
ruftie of finely plested ivory liberty silk.

covered with two deep knife pleated
founces of white mousselinc de sole, each
edged with a ruching of the same gossa-
mer material. The tunic which falls in
deep points is of white mousseline and
fits the figure closely by means of in
Vulnerable cores, the seams OF which are
inserted with narrow bands of finely cut
jet and pastel blue beads. A narrow ruch-
ing of mousseline borders the points

The blouse bodice of white mousseline

blue silk lining, fautless in fit, and has the
same insertions OF cut jet and blue beads
which characterize the tunic. There is a

out of ivory velvet and appliqued and en-
broidered with gold thread The leaves are
of various shades Of sage green panne
velvet appliqued and embroidered with gold
thread like the flowers. The stems are
made OF brilliantly cut jet beads and sup
ply that touch of black which so greatly
relieves the delicate coloring and the soft
ivory ground The hem of the garment
consists of a narrow bias fold of ivory silk,
which while making an excellent finish
to the skirt is at the same time practical
device for saving the delicate silk from its
disastrous contact with the waxed floor.
The narrow bias strip when soiled can
easily be supplied by another, thus pro-
tecting the skirt from the speedy be1rag-
gled appearance which is so often the
source of discomfort TO a dainty woman.
The tight bodice of ivory silk closes in
visibly in the left underarIn seam and
forms a short point at the back and in
front. The same floral design decorates
the front and back and an exquisite fin
ish is attained on the deep decollette by
the drapery of folded black tulle which
also falls over the shoulders in lieu of the
sleeve. and is caught at the front and
back by a sunburst OF brilliants. Narrow
shoulder bands of cut Jet hold the bodice
in place, and around the neck is worn a
triple string of pearls with diamond
clasp. The long gloves Of white suede
reach to the shoulder draperies and are
stitched with white silk.

Now that ribbons are so extensively worn
ii Is quite worth while 10 know how TO
clean them successfully and easily
The two methods here given have been
put 10 the practical test many times over,
SO there need be no hesitancy about trying
either one through fear of failure or Of
unsatisfactory results.
The first method is exceedingly simple
and answers the purpose for all except
white ribbons or those that ART very badly
unused. Fill a glass fruit jar about half
full Of gasoline-more or less, according 10
the amount OF ribbon to be cleaned. Place
the soiled ribbons in it-all colors lengths,
and kinds may go in at onee-and screw
the cover on tightly Shake the bottle
occasionally and leave H. closed for from
Two to six hours or over night. Then take
out the ribbons, shake each one well and
hang Ii to dry in the open air The ribbons
will be clean and the dirt will be found
in the bottom OF the jar. OF course. the
ribbons need a thorough airing and sun
bath to remove the odor Of the gasoline
but that is all. No pressing is required
as the gasoline does not affect them as
water would
The clear gasoline should be poured off
without disturbing that at the bottom;
tom should be emptied out. and the clear
gasoline put back, ready for use another
time. Keep 1t tightly covered, and, of
course never use it near fire, because
OF the danger OF its igniting.
The gasoline Will turn white ribbons
yellow, so this method is not advisable for
them. II also leaves the ribbons in the
same condition that IL found thera rs re-
CARDS their being mussed or cruinpled, so
those that are badly creased should be
giren the treatment that is accorded the
white ribbons.
Prepare a suds OF soft water ana any
pure soap. wash the ribbon in this, just as
you would wash fine handkerchief rinse,
and let IL partially dry. T:ke II down
while still damp in all parts and roll 1t
smoothly over wide cal1 or piece OF
pssteboard, rolling a piece OF clean white
muslin with IL. Wrap the muslin around
last, so that the ribbon shall be covered.
and place the whole under heavy weight.
letter press is an excellent place in
which TO press IL. Leave II until IL shall
have had time TO dry. The muslin will
absorb the moisture.
The ribbon will come out looking fresh
and clean and will have lost none OF its
life as is the case with ribbons which
are pressed with an iron.
