The question of a President OF the Com
mon Council having been practically set
tied in the choice of Mr.. Sol L. Bloom
terg for that responsible position. the
next movement will be the selection of
a vice-Prasident. whose duty it will be
to act as presiding officer of the body in
the absence of the President.
At present Mr.. Morgan r. Mills, OF JEFF
ferson Ward is Tice-President. He will
not stand for reelection to that position.
as both the President of the Board of
Aldermen and the Common Council are
from Jefferson Ward. This determine
ton on the part OF Mr.. Mills has brought
out other candidates. There are three
good men, each one from a different ward
and all experienced men in municipal
agairs. and men whom the people have
shown the utmost confidence in by elect
ing them repeatedly to seats in Council.
The first of these aspirants is Council
man r. L. Peters. of Monroe Ward. who
has represented his ward for a number
Of wears He has seen service on some
Of the most important committees ana
his work. has always been applauded by
his constituents At present Mr.. Peters
is serving on the Committees on Streets.
Fire Department Third Market. and,
Shockoe Creek. His experience as pre-
siding officer is sufficient to make of him
an excellent Vice-President OF the Coun-
ell Mr.. Peters lives near the dividing
line of Clay and Monroe Wards. and has
friends in both wards who would be glad
to see him placed in the position OF vice.

Health and Third Market. In the former
committee he has done much to make
the department perfect. His course in
in Council has cemented the allegiance
Of his friends in Clay Ward to him, and
his vote increases year by year. Mr..
Miner will make a good presiding officer,
if elected. Mr.. Miner holds a responsible
position with the Western Union Tele-
graph Company.

Rumor. of Things to Come.

Many of the skirts now made in the empire style open at the sides. like those worn by the Greeks and Romans of ancient days. and we may ere long come to peplums. The most tender colorings only are permissible.
 The fashionable dressmakers are ran- sacking libraries for sketches of dress es worn by the Empress Josephine and her sisters-in-law. Josephine was one of the most extravagant of women. never considered the cost or means of payment and was continually in debt.
 There is an attempt to revive the classic sandal. the sole fastened to the foot by ribbons crossing and recross- ing over the foot and leg. Indeed. it is already coming in for morning wear in the boudoir as a means of health and beauty for the feet.

The Button Dress Craze.

Parisian man miiliners are responsi- ble for the button dress craze which is now taking possession of American wo- men. The foremost dressmakers of the French capital, following the lead ership of Francis, created demand for the tailor made summer gown. To take away the plainness of the dress one milliner adopted the idea of having strappings of the same material or Of colors prettily combined and finished these oil with buttons.
 The button effect was an instant sue cess, so much so that the man mil liners of Paris boldly enlarged the mo- ton. placing buttons wherever they could be attached without spelling the ensemble of the creation.
