for waists that bids fafr to be exceedingly
popular. It is called silk flannel. has quite
a little weight to it. looks just like a dull

Women nowadays not only must have the
chintz furniture coverings. the window
draperies and the painted furniture of their
bed rooms match in floral design the flower
ed paper on the walls, but they make the
comfortables and wool quilts match as
well. When late in the fall n woman is
seen en- route to the shop with a bit of wall
paper in her hand. it is pretty certain that
she is going after a gay comfortable, or
perhaps half dozen of them.

Special Correspondence Of The Evening Star.
PARIS, October ~, 1900.
Short coats of the Louis XIV style are an
adjunct not only to afternoon, but to even
ing gowns. They are made of the striped
silks peculiar to the period and give spe-
clal air of smartness to the costume. y
vest of lace or some other soft fabric re-
lie' es the stiffness of the coat. which is
most often seen with rows of silver or gold
buttons along the sides.
An evening toilet of the Louis XIV style
was cut with low bodice, over the shoulders
OF which tlounces of lace were so arranged
as to give 1t the appearance of being
square. The 1ounces formed the upper
naments of the short jacket Of white silk
striped in bands of pale blue between rows
of pink roses The bodice itself was cf
white all-over lace, with an upper hand of
black Chantilly. The folded belt was also
OF the chantilly. The skirt was of white
lace over white satin, the lower border
being trimmed with applique of black
lace, put on over gold, gauzy material.
FestOOns of artificial roses draped the side
of the skirt. In the back We're sash ends
of fine white net, with tluted mouSSesine de
sole finish The skirt was rather full
and cut demi-train.
1t is noticeable that on the lace over
dresses the use Of gold is pronounced as
on the heavy street gowns. Fine gold
laCes are appliQued on black and white
lace, and pieces of gold tissue are cleverly
set under the patterns in the plain races to
give the appearance of an enmeshed sun
beam. Other devices are the use of gold
thread TO outline patterns on lace and of
embroidered patterns apDliqUed upon the
main fabric. Some of the fine chiffon even
ing gowns are made entirely in this way,
with all-oVer embroideTies of gold. inser-
lions of gold lace are made mp with lands
OF white or black lace or bands of chiffon
embroidery. The richest effects. however
are achieved by the combination of lace
with gauZe painted designs laid over gold
or silver tissues Cut out appliques laid
over gold galloun is one of the devices for
enriching cloth costumes The object is to
avoid all gaudineSS in the use of the me-
ta!iic cloths and trimmings. Too much Of
either is avoided, and those that are Used

Autumn Waists.

A number of fancy waists are now being
turned out to wear under the jacket with
what is called the correct tailor suit for
autumn wear. Indeed, the correct tailor

its outlines that it seems but natural
thing to have some sort of fancy waist

pieces, are now the very height of the
fashion. A nugget of gold in which is I'M

All the small belongings of dress are care
fully selected by the Partisan woman: in
deed, they are matter of the greatest mo-

Different Waists.
Waists of a material different from the
skirt are more generally worn for the house
than elsewhere. They are given, no matter
how simple, air of great elegance by
means of the handsome neckpieces and
rich belts worn this season Separate jew
eled buttons are also a touch of Superele-
gance of the fashions.

Stringer Of Lincoln, as assistants, ana
John A. Logan Of Elgin as sergeant
alarms, was also announced. Tenn
porary Chairman Hgrst then delivered
his address.
The decorators Of the convention
hall showed plainly their choice for
governor. Alschuler was the only can
didate whose portraits We're visible,
and not less than twenty-five were
hung over the st1ge around the bal
comics and in the galleries Portraits
of Jefferson, Jackson and Bryan were
exhibited. but all the rest were those
OF Alschuler.
The only Democratic governor Hi
nois has had since 1856 was not hon
ored to the extent of having his por-
trait hung in the convention hall, al
though a life-sized oil portrait of him
hangs on the floor below in the gov
errors quarters. Ex-Gov Altgeld ap-
parently had no friends on the decora-
tion committee.
During the time the committees and
delegates from the various congress
sional districts were caucuSing in the
ante-roomS the Alschuler band took
possession of one of the galleries and
proceeded to enliven the wait. The
platform was flied with distinguished
guests, and the top galleries were fill
ed in half an hour after the crowd be
gan to come. The facilities for han
ding a crowd are very limited and not
over 300 spectators could gain admis-
sion to the hall, understanding the
fact that some 500 or 1000 tickets were
issued in Springfield.
Mayor Harrison of Chicago came in
to the convention at a minute or two
before II O'clock, and stood in the real
of the hall shaking hands with the
country delegates for some time, but
there was no demonstration when he
entered the hall and took his seat.
The slate for state officers, as now

Governor, Samuel Alschuler, Aurora;
lieutenant governor, J. Nicholas Per

REX IN CREAM CITY.
Milwaukee Annual summer Carnival in
Full Bloom.


Milwaukee, Wis, June 26.-Milwau-
KEGS third annual summer carnival
opened today at o'clock with the
grand entrance of Rex, who, with his
distinguished suite, came from the
Realms of JOY and Mirth to preside
over the frolics of his people. Hi:
majesty and retinue were taken aboard
the revenue cutter Morrill, where the
river empties into the lake and were
conveyed up the stream between banks
decked with color and bright emblems
to the foot of Mason street, where he
was officially received by a delegation
representing the army and navy, in
Guiding Rear Admiral Charles R. Cot
ton, the guest of the carnival.
Drawn up on either side of the street
were all the military and other organi-
cations which have dedicated the time
to fun and for the last few days have
been making elaborate preparations
for the coming of their king. The II
linois and Wisconsin brigades of the
uniformed order of the knights OF
Pythias were there a thousand strong,
and as the royal train passed between
the lines they waved their plumes in
welcome of the merry king. When
Rex had passed the last of the long
line of brilliant uniforms, the different
organizations fell in behind his retinue
and, followed by motley throng of
funmakers in no particular uniform,
and with disordered ranks, the whole
procession moved toward the court Of

QUESTION OF THE PLANKS.
Prohibitionists oAre Divided About
Number in Platform.
MANY FAVOR "SlNGLE ISSUE"
Declarations Outside That for Cold Water
Opposed = Chairman Stewart says
Planks Will All Be Based ON Prohibi-
tion-About 900 Delegates Attend.

Chicago, June 26.-When the Pro-
hibitionists met in their state and ma
tional convention work here in the
First Regiment armory they found the
old "single-issue" question confront
ing them. Hale Johnson of Illinois,
who ran on the 'single-issue" plat
form for vice-president four years ago,
surprised his friends by giving out an
interview, in which he favored making
other questions besides prohibition
part of the national platform. Mr..
Johnson is a candidate for the nomin-
alton for president, and will probably
make his fight in the convention on
this proposition. The "single-issue"
faction has made John G. Woolley its
standard bearer, and the fight for the
nomination is on in earnest.
The state conventions committee on
resolutions will have the "single-issue"
proposition presented to it. 1t is be-
leved that the committee will report
a platform containing declaration
against trusts and the present admin
istration's policy in reference to the
army canteen and in favor of equal
suffrage and civil service The plat
form will probably make declarations
on state policies outside prohibition.
A plank will be inserted demanding
the enforcement of the state Sunday
laws, and labor questions may be
handled from a prohibition stand
point.
While the officials of the Illinois
state central committee favor intro
ducing other questions into the plat
form, the national committee managers
insist that prohibition and questions
based on that issue only shall be
touched upon.
Il think there will be only one issue
in the platform" said Oliver w. Ste
wart, chairman of the national prohi-
bition committee. There may be a
number of planks in the platform, but
they will be based on prohibition. We
will have a plank cOndemning the ad-
ministration'S policy toward the army
canteen. The president will be CEN
sured for extending the liquor traffic
to each new country to which the flag
has gone There will be a plank pro-
posing to protect laboring men from
the liquor traffic. The supposition has
been INDUCED all along that prohibit
ton would be the sole and simple is

The national convention is composed
of 1854 delegates, but some of the
southern and Pacific coast states did
not send full delegations. About 900
delegates are in attendance.
