thereto, and to take issue with those who assume that
the amendment was inspired by the assassination Of

4 CORNER FOR WOMEN.

A SMART TUCKED JACKET.
In the way of short jackets
there are some jaunty loose
shapes in tucked taffeta and
cloth, which, while supplying a
certain elegance, yet come within
the means of modest folk. These,
even in black, admit OF much fan
cifulness Of taste in Innings, and
where the jacket is OF silk, good
effects are gained with lining
and collar of contrasting cloth.
The collar in this case may be a
stiff military band, thick with
gold and black embroidery, or,
worked in the same way, it may
be a wide, rolling affair. A white
cloth collar, showing bias folds
attached with black hemstitch
headings, is a practicable and
stylish suggestion for ordinary
wear. Detachable collars, fast
ening along the neck line with
fat buttons, are seen on many of
