SOME DRESS SUGGESTIONS.
In Favor with smart
Dressers.

The dust cloaks Of the moment arr
extremely smart garments. The best
are of three-quarter length, semi-ft-
ting and hanging in the most beauti.
full folds, cut with big cape sleeves.
Some in gray taffeta are very smart
with triple capes or a capuchin of
coarse lace. Such a garment does
not seem to afford much protection
from the dust, but fashion has
reached the height of extravaganza.
and such details do not concern the
woman of fashion, says the Washing
ton Star.
Travelling cloaks will soon be in re-
quest, AND these must be of more
sensible kidd. Here, again, the fancy
is for thre.-quarter length, and taft
feta has it's uses. but fine cloths cut
a l'empire, with a big cape collar of
the cloth and a removable fchu Of
lace, make very desirable garments
of this description. The real yacht
ing coat. of course, is rough blue
pilot. which is faced in with tartan
and cut in ulster fashion.
The tea gown of the future will be
of the robe suggestion. the skirt set
into many gathers at the edge of a
sharply-pointed corsage. one boast
ing decolletage shaped into a long
round in front only. And what could
be prettier or more altogether cor
rect for the historical resuscitation
than a large forally patterned chine
silk? Louisine embraces several
kinds of qualities. together with an
endless variety of designs. though it
is always to be identified by a certain
brilliancy of finish. Large fine line
checks. mostly black on a delicate
neutral ground. trellised over with
flowers, are to be found alike on
silks and muslins. The latter are not
by any means to be despised for the
fabrieating of tea gowns. Indeed.
muslins-for choice, perhaps. those
of silken quality-also gauzes and
the fancy qualities of voile all lend
themselves TO the great cause of tea
gowns.
Black is now so universally worn
that it IS possible to be vel dressed
with only two or three gowns A
black belero and skirt f. morning
and general wear are most useful,
and they need not be ea suite, al
though this IS preferable The
tucked silk costs are smart with
fancy collars and are wearable with
colored skirts and are certainly
smarter than cloth \ loose muslin
front and a duck or linen skirt look
quite nice with a silk coat for eoun-
try or seaside wear. but want black
hat. white parasol and gloves and the
inevitable bouquet de eorsage.
\ second black gown OF some thin,
crapy material on glace silk or made
to wear over distinct foundation is
useful with blouses in black and
white, with black or transpareut
muslin or lace. Another black gowa
| of crepe de chine or other thin. silky
texture is for smart functions and
evening wear. and this Is admirable
with plenty OF creamy gH'ppre, which
should be handsome. and can be fur
Their relieved by jet. The unlined
blouses, or slips. as they are usually
termed. are invaluable in black and
must have transparent insertions or
yokes, and it is advisable 70 have one
tight undcrbodiee of white or ivory
glace or satin and another of plain
black silk.

AN ENABLING ACT FAVORED.
Legislation SeedfuI for New Yori<'s
sccepfeuce of Carnegie's Gift.

NEW YORK, March 1S.-Mayor Van
Wyck, Comptroller Coler, and Corpora
tion Counsel Whalen, representing the
city, and George l.. Rives, representing
the New York Public Library, came to
the conclusion today that legislation was
necessary to enable the city TO accept
Andrew Carnegie's s., 10000 offer for the
establishment of a free library system.
Authority was delegated to Mr.. Whalen
to draw up bill for presentation to the
Legislature, and Mr. Rives and Deputy
Comptroller Levey were instructed to
confer with him over the provisions of
the measure.
Comptroller Coler said. after the con-
ference, that he and the mayor were in
favor of "A broad enabling act, which
would sweep away all technicalities and
clearly put the city in a position to ac-
cept the gift and carry out its provisions
From the remarks OF Mr.. Coler that he
and the mayor stood together, it might
be inferred that Mr.. Whalen had views
in opposition TO theirs, but the comptrol-
Ter had nothing to say on the subject.
There is n suspicion IN some quarters
that these rumors, when so embodied
may not work entirely toward the har-
monious acceptance oy all the parties Of
the munifcent gift. Mr Whalen is known
10 have insisted on the city having a
greater representation on the board of
trustees of the Public Library, because
the city gave s.. 100000 to the corporation
with which 10 build the new building on
Fifth Avenue.
He has never felt satisfied that the ex
ofiicio membership on the board of the
comptroller was sufficient and it Is now
assumed that he will insist that the city
which is TO give the sites and the money
for the maintenance or the Carnegie
Libraries, shall have a say in the control
OF the institution.
Members of the library board of trus-
tees, taking it for granted that the trus-
tees would have control Of the system.
have admitted that the city should have
at least three representatives on the
board under those circumstances, but
they have never given up the idea that
the library people should dominate

FOR A HARRISON MONUMENT.
\ Movement 10 Erect Memorial Be
GUN in Indiana.

INDIANAPOLIS, March S.-A move
ment looking to the erection of public
monument to General Harrison has been
started here 10y some of his personal
friends and admirers, and it is possible
that a pubic meeting will be called IN the
near future to take active steps IN the
matter.
1t has been Suggested that the monu-
ment be 10 the form of statue OF
bronze on base made of Indiana stone
and marble, and that the cost be limited
10 $4,000. 1t is designed 10 make the
statue a tribute from Indiana citlzens'
and subscriptions will not be sought out
side of the State. Contributions, now
ever, viii not be refused if voluntarily
offered by others.
1t is believed that many of the proml-
nent and wealthy men with whom he was
more or less associated in life would ne
glad to contribute something, but the
idea is to have the monument represent
a popular expression from the people
and small subscriptions to the fund'
rather than large ones. will be solicited.
1t is now known that Mr. Harrison
drew up will just before leaving here
for Europe when he went to make ms
argument in the Venezuela case in Paris,
at the Fletcher National Bank. The in
strument was drawn by himself and was
witnessed by Harry J. Milligan, Howard
Cole, and w. II. H. Miller, who signed
their names as witnesses to the signature
the general atfixing his name In their
presence.
The will was then deposited at the bank
and has remained there ever since. 1t is
understood that the Will is TO be opened
and read by Mr.. Miller in the presence OF
Mrs Harrison, the widow, and Russeii
Harrison and Mrs. Mckee, the son and
daughter of the ex-President.
While nothing is known as to the as
position OF property, it is surmised that
the bulk of his fortune has been left In
trust to his daughter, Elizabeth, and the
children of Russell Harrison and Mrs
Mckee.

Another Chinese exclusion case decided
yesterday was that Of Ii Sing against
the United States. in which was involved
the question whether the decision of

such matters. Sing resided in Newark. y.
j.. previous TO 1913 when he returned to
China, taking a certificate signed by the
Chinese Consul Of New York that he
was entitled to return 10 the United
States on Sings arrival at Malone, y.

tificate valid. but Sing was afterward ar
rested in New York as not being proper
~ in the United States. and was ordered
deported by the United States commits
slonor Sing took the case TO the Circuit
Court of the United States for the South
ern district of New York. thence 10 the
Circuit Court of Appeals. ana finally TO
the Supreme Court. which affirmed the
opinion of the lower courts. and Sing will
be deported.

that the act of the North Carolina Legis
lature authorizing the issue Of these bonds

with the provisions of the State cOnsti-
tuition, which specifics that on bills af-
fecting the debt of the State or of any
