Notes From WOman'S Realm


tiOn of dainty stockings. Not that she
ever fails to have a particular interest
in this part of her apparel, but, nat
urally, the low shoe demands the pret-
test effects in hosiery Because her
fashionably made low shoe admits OF
the wearing, and an occasional display
ing, too, of dainty stockings, the
smartly gowned woman has clung TO
her low shoe through all kinds of
weather.
The low shoe habit is, in fact, one
the fashionable woman acquires with
extreme ease. By the end of summer
high boots represent to her mind all
that is clumsy and uncomfortable in
the way of footwear, and when autumn
comes she cannot quite make up her
mind to give up the smart low ones, so
she compromises by choosing a heavier
1 kind. but still of a low cut.
Even when there appears slight
fan of snow she still dares TO venture
forth in her favOrite low shoes
Naturally, with these pretty and
smart shoes even prettier stockings
must be worn, and my lady supplies
lherself with even a greater and more
elaborate array than ever before. She
doesn't hesitate at fany open work nor
finch at the thinnest Of silk and Isle.
Some Of her very daintiest ones show
the most effective drawn designs, quite
| like those fine handkerchiefs and
equally delicate dOylies which are the
work of convent girls in Manila.
| Sometimes the ankle is open and
again the entire stocking displays plain
lstripes alternating with bands Of this
same cObwebby drawn work Ex-
lpensive? OF course they are; but so
are all the daintiest ideas in feminine
footwear.
Another stocking of fine white silk
had inserts of white embroidered nous
seine over pale pink. and this was
ledged all around with the tiniest of
silver spangles.
Black patent leather slippers are
made to look extremely smart by hay
, ing the heels and the huge rosette set
in front of some dainty color to match
the stocking. Sometimes, when the
color combination is particularly at
tractive, the stocking shows no sign of
embroidery or other decoration.
Lace striped stockings have been in
vogue for some time now, but there is
new idea in ornamenting the inserts
of fine lace. which, appeals to the seek
er after novelties. Tiny jewel pail
lettes are used to produce a fascinat-
ing effect.
SO far the lace stocking has enjoyed
the distinction of being the most ex-
pensive of any of the fancy STYLES. and
now that we are to be treated to the
added elegance of jewels prices will go
quite beyond the reach of any but the
most extravagant in dress.
Butterflies, birds and bow knots in
lace applique have been seen on sillien
stockings for some time. but of late
lshopkeepers have been showing some
very attractive novelties with the in
step almost entirely Of chiffon. en-
/ lbrOidered with delicate sprays of flow
ers or adorned with dainty applique de-
signs.
These stockings are, just at present.
the very acme of exquisite daintines
and beauty. The effect of the thin
mousseline. showing the faint tinge Of
the pink flesh underneath, is wonder
fully pretty.

JOURNEYMEN PAINTERS REPLY
Statement Of The Union Men in iuSwH to
the Master Painters

The only developments in the paint
ers' strike yesterday and last night
were the statements issued by the
union men and the master painters.
The masters statement. which was
published in last nights Evening Jour
nal, was objected to by the strikers in
the following reply;
Fourteen members of The Master
Painters Association met yesterday
morning and passed resolutions rela-
tive to the difference existing between
their organization and the Journey
men House Painters Association.
"The first clause Of the resolution
sets forth that they, as employers, have
always been considerate with their
men when the reverse would be a more
truthful statement The claim of the
master painters that they had ON hand
lot Of contracts that were made on a
basis of $3.50 for nine hours is also a
rather weak one as the master paint
ers were notified by the j0urneymen
last January that on April they
would demand $3.50 for eight eight
hours. The master painters were
told however that IL they had any con.
tracts that really were made on thC
nine hour basis the iourneymen were
willing to complete the jobs at the ole
scale. This was ignored. Their Of
fer Of 30 cents an hour, or $2.40 fo
eight hours may look very fair to
wards the men yet if taken into con
lsideration what goes with their propo
sition, it is far from what we the jour
neymen house painters Of Wilmington
desire.
The master painters demand tina
we not only work with non-union men
; but they would have us further agre
TO work for no contracting painter un
less he be a member of their organiza
} tion. Thus debarring any member O
the Journeymen House Painters As
e ! sociation from going into business, a
b he would firEt have to join the Maste
] Painters Association, and IL would Ia

e should be admitted. There are onl

e ers' Association. There are eightee
s firms that do not belong to the Maste
Painters Association. but who hav

p men. The master painters demand tina
r we refuse to work for any of this mum

Smart Summer GoWns

Foulard gowns are evidently des-
tined to be accepted as fashionable
this summer and every other for years
to come, judging from the numbers of
them to be seen at all the shops and
at the dressmakers. Foulard is so cool
a material and as a rule so servicable
that. like gingham and muslin, must
needs be counted on for a comfortable
summer gown.
That other materials are smarter for
elaborate costumes is a fact, and even
when made of the most expensive and
beautiful designs is not thought 50
desirable as woven fabrics; but for
everyday wear, for travelling, for a
days shopping in town, nothing seems
to take the place of a foulard. The
smartest styles are exceedingly plain;
if lace or embroidery is used then only
a little of it is thought necessary. A
smart and attractive model in a small
pattern black and white has three
shaped fiounces on the skirt, each
founce edged with fold of taffeta on
a gauze ribbon; on the hips are clus-
ters of tucks stitched fat The waist
is in tucks. sleeves tucked to the ell
bow and full below, gathered into a
straight band, and the whole gown is
almost severe in its simplicity, but
with it are worn embroidered collars
and cuffs. which give a most dainty
touch.
A plain blue foulard has box
Dleated circular skirt. Blouse waist,
pleated, with transparent collar and
narrow, square yoke of the new filet
lace. This again is very simple, but
certainly nothing could well be smart
er or more attractive, and as the waist
is lined only with the thinnest lawn
the gown is delicately cool and really
more useful than a gingham, muslin
or batiste. for it will not lose its
freshness after a days outing.
Embroidered linen gowns are very
smart for the hot weather. They are
made with skirts and blouses or jac-
kets. The blouses show of the en-
broidery better than the jackets. but
there is something most attractive and
cool in the appearance Of a plain cool
er linen suit with embroidered white
muslin shirt waist. Blue, green, gray
or the natural linen color. and also
fine shepherds plaids in black and
white are the favorite colors, follow
ing closely the lines Of the pongees,
it will be noticed. These gowns are
always unlined, but should be worn
with a carefully fitted drop skirt, as
otherwise the skirts do not hang well.
With the tan linens made in coat and
skirt. the embroidered pongee waists
of the same shade are thought very
smart. but the pale blue are also
charming. These pongee and wash
silk waists have for the moment quite
ousted the taffeta silk waist from it's
hold ON popularity, and yet on a cool
day taifeta silk waist is most useful.

FIERY DEBATE
RAGEN IN SENATE
BeVeridge ScaiheS Opponents
Of Philippine Bill
Indiana Senator Saws That American
Soldiers Showed Unparalleled
Kindness to FiIipinOS

Washington. May 7--For almost four
hours yesterday a fiery discussion of
the Philippine situation ragged in the
senate II was started by Mr.. Bever-
idge. OF Indiana. who made some sharp
structures on the members of the OPP
position. because, as he said. they per-
sist in telling in their speeches only
one side of the story. While he admit
ted that some outrages had been COM
mitted by American soldiers In the
Philippines. it was true. too. that un-
paralleled Kindness had been shown
by the American troops 20 Filipino
prisoners and Filipino wounded. Food
and medicine. he said. had been shared
with them; and they had been sue
cured on the battlefield and cared for
tenderly in the hospital.
Mr.. Hoar, of Massachusetts, inquired
If it was a fact, proved by testimony
that American soldiers had tortured
/ Filipinos until they had confessed tc
the commission of crime.
Mr. Beveridge said it had been
proved that the water cure had been
administered in the dreadful OHerns
case. BY the confession OF the Fill.
i pinos to whom the water cure had beer
given it was learned that O'Herne had
been burned to death over a slow fire
and that his body had been subsequent
" hacked to pieces. The confession
of the Filipinos included the location
of O'Herne's remains. Investigation
disclosed those remains. which were
identified.
"Was this murder proved by any
other testimony than that given in tn,
testimony OF the tortured Filipinos?'
inquired Mr.. Hoar.
mot that l know Of" replied Mr.
Beveridge. But that evidence wal
conclusive.
While saying that the omission 4
tell this side Of the story by thu
Democrats was unintentional. Mr.. Bev
eridge suggested that it was unfair L
make an arraignment Of the American
soldier and not tell both sides.
Mr.. Carmack and Mr.. Rawlins warm
/ ~ resented any imputation of unfair
ness. Mr.. Rawlins declared that M
partisan motives had actuated the op
ponents of the present Philippine pol
icy. but that they were moved onl
by patriotism and love Of their coun
try.
