Of Joseph Il. Mcdonald, who represent.

in this cry of imperialism to deter gold
democrats from supporting President
Mckinley. The imperialistic cry was
raised after the war OF the revolution
after the war of 1912, againt Lincoln in
the latter part of the civil war. and later
the cry of Caesarism was raised against
Grant. Every time it has been without
a semblance of foundation, and this time
it will scare no thinking man.

There is almost a tradition among New

spring and summer fabrics which bring the

How to Dress Your Hair.

If you are a believer in the old saying
that womans glory is in her hair you
cannot help being surprised at the extra
ordinary want of artistic taste that many
women show in the arrangement; of their
tresscs, converting them into a dlsfgure-
nlent instead of into d glory. But after
all, the matter to each one of us is not so
much how other people arrange their hair
as how we arrange our own. Do we do so

The present style of tea gown and the
empire style Of dinner gown resemble each
other so closely that from the Illustrations
that are seen in fashion papers it would
be difficult. to decide which is which The
truth is, fashion has decreed that the loose
draperies are quite possible for dinner
gowns and there is no limit to the ex-
peEse and beauty of the materials used in
the tea gowns.
1t is not very long since a tea gown
that was cut low in the throat was con-
sidered bad style. but now quite a number
are made up cut with the square neck or
the E-shapcd neck, and there are some too,
that are open at the back and the front of
the neck. Others, again. have an unlined
yoke that gives much the same effect. and
in all instances the waists are trimmed with
a folded fichu edged with lace or chiffon.

A charming gown is made with the wat

Silk Ducks Now.
Among the oldest effect in mixtures of
silk and wool are the silk ducks. Many of
them have an iridescent effect which seems
to put them out of the pale of the ordinary
uses for which duck is used. But they are
being made up in large quantities. and
perhaps shimmering coats and skirts in
paiest grays, pinks or blues will look CRATE
full when the days are very much warmer
There is also loose weave in silk and
wool, which looks like duck but which be-
longs, of course, to that class of transpar-

taste are usually the color of the fabric,
but distinguished from it by a difference
in shade or different weave.

term that one may wear very beautiful and
rather expensive cottons under that name
or one may still go back to the old days

was suspended short while Saturday

dismissed the suspension and directed
the chief to put him back on the force.
The himsy charge of theft had been
brought against him, utterly without
