Boas a Great Addition
to q Woman'S Toilet.

Some OF the handsome onss come IN
sets. with mum to match. The pretty one
here illustrated is of white chiffon and
black velvet ribbon. The newer boes are
made with the fiat effect, and q number
have capes on the shoulder, having long
or medium streamers. The ones seen most
ly are Of chiffon. liberty silk and Lace
These boas are certainly q great addi-
ton to a woman's toilet. Two girls were
driving at the Branch the other day who
attracted a great deal Of attention. Ons
was attired in a blue crepe de Chine. She
wore a large blue hat. chiffon boa and
nun. The other was dressed in white and
black. with hat. boa and muff to CORE
spond. And every one decided they were
the best dressed women on the drive.
The summer girl who does not give the
proper attention to her neckwear is making
a big mistake. Watch your successful rival
and you Will see she has given as much
attention to how she ties the ribbon around
her neck as she does to the 1T OF her
gown. She knows one Is as essential as
the other. Tho little things in this world
count for a great deal. Those men who
have been successful in business are the
ones who gave attention TO small detafls,
and the same holds true OF a woman's sp-
pearance. She must be properly dressed
from head to foot.

Women on Whom Bows
Are Not Becoming.
Il can't wear fancy W said q
rather stout young lady to her friend. -
they returned from their morning dip. This
showed good sense. There Is a certain class
OF women who can't stand any bows or
jabots. But they have not been forgotten.
for they purchase a number of fancy col
lars. Scue are made of allover lace and
finlsheI Il on the top and bottom with a
narrow - Of SILK or satin; others are
made several rows OF narrow ribbon
Joined together by fagoting, and the variety
seems almost endless
THE Coronation" is one OF the latest de-
signs. 1t Is made OF taffeta and net, on
which Is appliqued a design in lace.
There is nothing so becoming to the
average woman as the boas and neck ruffs
which are now so much IN vogue. The
dainty, flmy lace or chiffon softens the
lines of the face and adds materially to
the elegance of a costume. This. no doubt.
one young lady who started out to make
her conquests had a trunk filled with nsds
ruches of all descriptions.
One was OF black taffeta for the morn
ing. another OF black and white net for the
afternoon. while for the evening she had
one to correspond with each gown. \

FOR WAR TAX REDUCTION.
Republican Members Of Ways and
Means Committee Arrange
a Programme.

Washington Jan. 2l.-The republic
committee yesterday decided to be-
gin the consideration Of the bill re-
ducing the war revenue taxes, and
after u conference attended by all
Of the republican members of the
committee, Chairman Payne gave out
the following statement:
"rhe republican members Of the
committee on ways and means met
to-day, and have taken up the subject
Of the war revenue. They have de-
cidcd TO have hearing before the
full committee on Monday, the 9th
instant, on the question respecting
the duty on tea and the war revenue
tax on beer. They will hear the peo-
pie interested in the subject of the
duty on tea at ten o'clock in the
morning. and those interested IN the
taxation on beer nt two o'clock in
the afternoon. There will bc no fur
thcr hearings"
Some significance was attached TO
the restriction Of the bearings TO ten
and beer, but 1t was explained shat
these were the only interests which
had asked for hearings, The desire
Of the beer interests is to take of
GO cents from the Si,6O per barrel now
levied ON beer, thus bringing the rate
to 81, where II stood prior to the
Spanish war, The total reduction in
revenues on this item would be %i,-
OOO, 900. The reduction ON tea Will
aggregate about SS,0000O0.
