PRETTY THINGS TO WEAR.


of black net or grenadine over black
silk, with the overdress profusely ruf-
fled. The ruff1es number from three to
five, and vary in width from four inches
to six. They are applied either straight
around the skirt or curving slightly
upward to the back. A charming ef-
feet is produced by edging the ruf1ies
at both upper and lower edges with
narrow white or colored velvet ribbon,
repeating the treatment on the waist.
The handkerchief feature has be-
come a positive mania, and the ex-
tremist in the fashion will have waist,
hat and parasOl to match. Fortunately,
the handkerchiefs are exceedingly
pretty, as rule, and the result is emin-
emily satisfactory. A fascinating ex-
ample seen at one of the large stores
was made of heavy silk, with ciel
blue centre and blue and white plaided
J borders and fringe. Four were COM
bined to make the parasol. The waist
required two, the body and sleeves be-
ing of blue silk, with the handkerchiefs
used as a bolero, sleeve, trimming, col.
| lar and belt. The belt was finished by
a large butterfly bow in the back. The
hat was graceful semi-sailor, slightly
upturned in front and faced with Gle
blue chiffon folds. The handerchie-
was tied in an Alsatian bow in from
and 'perky" little scarf ends in the
back.

South between the representatives of the
two races.
Politics has been the curse of both the
white and the black in the South It has
helped to make the younger negroes lazy
and incorrigible and has naturally en-
bittered the whites against race which
has been made the stool pigeon of AMI
bilious and unscrupulous politicians in the
South for an entire generation. There has
been always more or less of politics in the
race troubles of the South. There is no
such hostility existing among the repre-
sentatives of the races as naturally leads
Of both have been aroused through the
medium of public considerations that the
worst conflicts have arisen Led on b.
designing men, the negro has assumed
an attitude of equality toward the white,
an attitude which is simply intolerable to
the white With politics taken out of CON
sideration, the worst of existing difficult
ties would soon find an adjustment.
1t is something in the nature of a po-
litical revolution which has been wrought
in the Republican party in this connac-
ton. 1t is but a few years since the
bloody shirt was in the Republican fore
ground of every election contest Every
difficulty which resulted in violence pc
tween the two races was traced by Re
publican newspapers and politicians to a
political cause. The negroes were stirred
up to resent all thought of political or
social domination on the part of the
whites, with the result that the whites
have been forced, in seIf-defense. to so
frame their electoral laws as to practi-
cally disfranchise the negro, notwith
standing the requirements of the four
teenth amendment.
1t Is this latter fact which is evidently
recognized by the managers of the pres
ent convention. They understand that if
the Republican party is to survive in the
oouth' II must survive as a white mans
party, as the Wing party did. There is
believed to be enough of a pro-imperiaIist
sentiment among Southern men in tbA
judgment of the wiser Republican heads
10 build upon. When men like Henry
Watterson are heard preaching imperial
Ism and miiitarism as its necessary ac-
compartment, it is not unreasonable to
assume that there is fair proportion at
least of Southrons who believe that the
new colonial policy would be especially
beneficial to the South in promoting it's
commercial and industrial interests ar5
therefore to be sustained bv them and
their section. But whatever may be the
future Of the imperialist idea in the South.
'he progress of events at Philadelphia has
made 1t reasonably plain that black Re
puohcanlsm has found its end in the
Southern states.
