DISPATCHES from Cleveland and the
local report in the Cleveland Leader,
show that Senator Hanna is preparing
rooms at Cleveland, which it is said
will be used for National Republican
Headquarters, this year. This does not
indicate that Mr.. Hanna expects his
rheumatism to give him any particu-
lar trouble after the nomination o1
President Mckinley.

SENATOR Hanna informed Mr.. Daugh-
gherty at Washington, last week, that
he would support Mr.. Laylinn, OF HUI
ron county, for Secretary of State, next
year, and would do all he could to Sc
cure his nomination-which means a
heap. Mr.. .Daugherty's friend, Man
nington, who will be candidate, is q
hustler, and he and Harry will try te
corral the opposition to boss rule, and
the canvass is likely to be very inter
esting.

Pjnky Prettiness.

Among the very most fetching of the
handsome heavy linen dresses which
are seen upon the best dressed women
are the occasional ones of coral pink.
These are beautifully fresh looking,
and very many of them show white
collar (sailor or otherwise) which Is
rather cut out to display the soft, white
under-blouse.
One such dress Is but series or
tucks, not tucks ION the straight but
rather, rascally, difficult tucks, which
are very close together at the waist
line, but spread to a distance of two
inches apart where they cease, just be-
low the knee, the fullness forming
flare round the feet.
Though graduated to correspond, the
tucks in the blouse continue the length
of this little garment, as do those In
the sleeve.
This dress is equally lovely In old
blue or Wedgewood green.

The Trailing Skirt Hangs On.

:. spite of all the diatribes hurled
against 1t, the trailing skirt still drags
its weary length along with a deter
mination not to be supplanted by the
skirt designed according to the laws of
health and common sense. 1t clings
as closely to the hips as ever, although
some of the recent importations show
the breadths gathered or pleated about
the hips in true old time fashion. One
might conclude that this method would
destroy all graceful lines, but when
handled by an. expert the result Is to
make the waist more slender and con-
ceal noticeably prominent hips. Many
new skirts fall apart at the centre
front, where contrasting breadth is
placed beneath, frequently showing
elaborate garnitures Of cut out linen
embroidery, which, by the way, Is to
be feature among trimmings this
season.

The time Is past when the feminine

She knows what she wants, and she
persists until she gets 1t.
All this was plainly shown by one of
her who hunted for tucked taffeta. I'm
fortunately, she knew just the size of
the tucks she wanted, as well rs the
distance they should be apart. to fit in
with her ideas.
Everybody agreed that what she
wanted was not to be found, until she
was quite desperate, and, at last, de-
manded of firm ii they did not get
some of their tucking done in town.
Such turned out to be the case, and
presently she was favored with the adj
dress of this firm, and, contrary to her
fears, found the establishment, where
this tucking and stirring was done, to
be within stones throw of this very
store.
Furthermore, they accommodated
