When Lhe Honae 81 Represena.

When the House of Representa-
tives passed the omnibus public
buildings bill apprOpriating about
S16, 900, 900, it was thought that
the limit of extravaganza had
boon reached. There are pos
sibilites, however, in the Senate,
of which even those that have wit
messed its fantastic contOrtiOns
the past few months, can have NO
conception. The Senate Commit
tee on Public buildings has in
creased the appropriation to more
than $40, 900, 900. Otthis amount
the South is said to receive a lit
tie more than so, 200, 900. The
division Of the swag does not
seem to have been conducted upon
an equitable basis. The South is
getting its share Of the loot, but
there should be no complaint up
on that score. Southern Congress
men should pride themselves up
on reiraining to join in the treas
ury raid. The reckless apprO-
priatiOn Of the public money is
one Of the greatest abuses existing
in this government. While the
country is rich and prosperous,
the drain is not felt, but Of neces-
sity there is another day coming
when the burden Of taxation will
be heavier than the people car
bear. There has been too much

silk is employed. The lower part of
the skirt is ornamented with several
wide tucks. This model fully empha-
sizes the fact that the tablier front is
to be well represented among the
new gowns, not alone those intended
for afternoon, but for evening wear
as we'll. It will perhaps interest our
readers to know Of a recently import
ed skirt in which the tablier front was
pre-eminent. It is cut in four divi-
sions, each one bias and shaped to
give the necessary fare. Each sec
ton is shirred to the other with tiny
outstanding frills and the lower one
spreads out into a very full fiounce.
The skirt joins the tablier at either
side and the edges are finished with
rosette bows Of narrow black velvet
ribbon, three or four strands carried
from one to the other all the way
