chronicling the bewildering array of
beautiful toilets and costumes, for it GER
tainly has its own particular claims to
notice. 1t has a special element of COM
fort about it and a delightful grace and
cachet all its own. Tea gowns are
products of modern times, and they east
ly demonstrate that beauty. comfort and
appropriateness can be combined in one
garment. They have undoubtedly grown
more ornate and dressy every passing
year. and have this season become af-
fected by the universal craze for gauze
materials and filmy laces, but this has
only increased their charm without in
the least interfering with their comfort
or usefulness.

conflicting, it is difficult to form
an opinion as to the outlook. Else
where in The HERALD is copied a
dispatch from Louisville which
gives very hopeful view, though
other reports from Frankfort do
not seem to warrant it. The special
correspondent sent by the Calves
ton News to report the exact Situa-
ton, who is none other than w.
G. Sterrett. himself confesses that
it is difficult to foresee the out
come. The result of the conference
of republican and democratic lead
ers at Louisville was not then
known, but unless that should
bring about a cessation of hoStil-
tiles, the News correspondent was
doubtful of the consequences.
Summing up the situation as it ap-
peared to him, the News CORES
pendent wired last. Monday:
"Much is being said about tele-
grams from Mckinley aud repnbli-
can leaders to Taylor advising him
to quit. The information about the
kilograms comes wholly from the
Goebel people about the hotels.
They may have come and been re.
ceived, but in my opinion, with the
Kentuckians now transacting their
business in their own peculiar way,
they would never heard Gabriels
trumpet if it were to sound. Every
hour that passes makes the Situa-
ton more serious. One of the
democratic leaders told me tonight
that matters must be hurried or
the people whom he represented
could not be kept down. He said
they were armed and straining at
the leash, and to the most casual
observer he told the truth. There
is Impotence aud irritation. The
outbreak may come ataDy moment, |
aud it may net come at all. 1t de-
ponds wholly on the cool heads Of
the leaders on both sides, and !
neither side has much Of a leader"
