Pleated Walls Is.

As the season advances the taste IS
evinced for Norfolk and other pretty
pleated waists-a fashion particularly
becoming to slender figures, and since
the plaits are lengthwise, not ob]ec-
tionable to those who are no longer
slim. These pleats are seen in vari-
GUS materials among the spring WOODS
and silk and wool mixtures, and the
summer silks and handsome wash RAD
RIGS, and are usually box-pleats spread
fiat, or often a series Of finer ones
with usually a band of insertion be-
tween. The belted round waists are
in three box-pleats. alike front anu
back, sometimes below yoke. or else
q pleated waist with yoke has wider
lengthwise bands Stimulating such
pleats, with line Of embroidery on
lace through the center, these bands
extending from the waist to the neck
and shoulders.

To Cantraliza Labor Bodies.

Organized labor in Cleveland Is TO
have one central body of labor, which
will include all the unions in Cuyahoga
county, and the movement is being
watched by union men in Chicago, who
believe that there are too many cen
trail councils in existence there. IL
is proposed to change the name OF the
Central Labor union in Cleveland 10
the United Trades and Labor council,
and to establish sections in the various
crafts closely allied in the nature OF
their work. The proposition has been
submitted to a referendum vote OF all
the unions. The new central body, II
the plan is adopted. will unite the Cen
trail Labor union, the Building Trades
council and the Longshoremen's Cen
trail council. A committee of five from
each of the three organizations drafted
the plan of unity. which is on the lines
advocted by the American Federation
of Labor. for several years-that is, to
establish trade sections instead of sep
arate councils.
