FASHION

NEW YORK, May 31-Only three or
four OF the women who graced the
coaches in the Coaching clubs parade
on Saturday wore heavy coats, al
though the air was chill and the sky
threatening
Mrs. william Jay, who sat beside
her husband on his coach heading the
line. was bravely arrayed in a French
foulard gown showing white. dark blue
and bright green In an irregular COM
binatiOn Of polka dots. The skirt had
two or three folds about the bottom
piped with green. and the bodice was
deliberately trimmed with ecru lace
that formed a wide sailor collar and
garnished the front. Mrs. Jays hat
was a dark blue straw, rather fiat in
shape. and sparingly trimmed with
green.
A noteworthy feature of the parade
was that. with perhaps three excep-
tons, all the women occupying box
seats wore gray. Those not in gray
chose gay foulards, which were partly
concealed under tan covert coats. Mrs.
Alfred Vanderbilt, by long odds the
handsomest of the group. was gowned
sxquisitely. She wore daily newspaper
accounts to the contrary notwithstand-
ing) a tailored dove-gray costume, so
stunning coat, three-quarter length, Of
white cloth. The wrap had no shoulder
seams and was quite loose. 1t was
trimmed simply with those very
French appearing cords and balls
dangling from shoulders, cuffs and
front fastenings. 1t fitted high and
snug about the throat. Her hat was a
very large black chip turned up at one
side. and with black plumes by way
of trimming.
Some chose to reflect in their frocks
the cOlors of the coach on which they
were guests. Mrs. Cornelius Wander
bilt. on the box seat beside Mr.. James
Henry Smith. was in a tailor gown Of
gray, with wide kilt-like plaits down
the front breadth of the skirt and also
on the sleeves; but the coat had a
fancy collar Of pale blue silk, with tiny
French black knots all over 1.-THE
coach was blue, with yellow running
gear-and she and all the other women
on the vehicle wore corsage bouquets
of daffodils. Her hat was also of DAFT
fodils. with green foliage showing in
the crown.
There was only one hat with trailing
Spanish wells Of black and white, and
it looked quite out of place. Mrs. Ed
ward Browning, of Philadelphia. was
in gray and looked extremely well. At

urday there were some very stunning
gowns. Mrs. Perry Belmont was pic
turesque in a costume Of gray wolfe, a
black taffeta French coat and a large
black hat with plumes Indeed, the
large black hat was pre-eminent on
Saturday.
Nine women out of every ten were
wearing headgear of this description,
and it was noticeable that none of them
had scarfs attached in any way. Mrs.
Theodore A. Havemeyer was in gray.
with a large hat of black and yellow.
Miss Dolly Kernochan wore dark
blue and a large black hat, as did also
Mrs. ]. Borden Hartman. Miss Gym
thia Roche was prettier than ever in
a very light biscuit-colored gown OF
some soft material, and a black straw
hat with sweeping ostrich plumes.
Some Of the coats on the Clubhouse
lawn, especially those Of light-colored
silk or cloth, like the Nile green of
Mrs. Richard Wilson and the pale blue
Of Mrs. Harry" Payne Whitney, were
extremely effective. Mrs. Oliver Iselin
wore a long coat of bright red cloth
over a gown of ecru silk. There were
some foulards in evidence, for stout
women will cling to them to the very
last, but they are no longer in general
favor. The new summer silks and
pOngees have taken their place. The
tiny checked and pin-striped silks, as
well as the old-old yet ever new, as
the Modishes periodically will it-shep-
herds plaids, are made up in the most
delightful manner.
A shepherds plaid silk made with
fancy coat. with wide double postilIion
back, was much admired on Saturday.
1t was most VI iquely trimmed with
straw balls at the belt in the back. and
also at the front fastening. From these
long ropes or streamers of straw fell
to the knees, ending in straw tassels.
The effect of this new trimming il odd,

that gray will probably long remain a

ries over $8,0OO,o0o
Washington, Feb. 14.-The Indian
appropriation bill just completed car
ries $8,844,500. The item for support
of schools is $3,247,920, for fulfilling
treaty stipulations $2,1O2,157.
The Dawes commission is reduced
in membership from four to three, as
its work will be completed in two
years. Among the general provisions
is one forbidding the Withholding of
rations because of attendance at a
non-government school; also requir-
ing Indian Territory judges to reside
at Muskogee. The bill omits the usu-
al appropriation for an Indian school
at Grand Junction, Colo, owing to a
local controversy, it being claimed
that the government is made to pay
for sewer and other improvements
which the public enjoy. The estimate
was $44,72S for this school, but the
bill cuts off the school entirely.
The committee added $4,000 for an
Indian exhibit at the Louisiana Pur.
chase exposition at st. Louis.

Interesting Fight Over Sheriff's Office

Interesting Fight Over sheriff's Office
In New Yor., State.
New \ ork, Feb. 1.-THE fight over
the office of sheriff in Hamilton coun-
ty, in the heart of the Adirondacks,
has developed into fight of another
kind according to a Herald dispatch
from Saratoga. At the election last
November Locke, Democrat, was de-
clared elected by the board of super
v1sors, but Kathan, the Republican
candidate, carried the matter to the
courts, charging frauds and irregulari-
ties, and the supreme court decided
in his favor.
Meanwhile Locke had taken posses
sion of the office, including the court
house and jail, and refuses to obey the
his rival
Both claimants organized forces to
secure the prize and Locke has, it is
reported, fortified himself in the coun-
ty Jail, declaring the decision was
wrong and will be reversed, and he
does not propose to give up until the
case has been determined by the court
of last resort
Meantime the country, which is in.
accessible by railroad, is buried deep
in snow, and there are fears that trou-
bic may be precipitated before the
state authorities can intervene to en-.
force the decision of the court.
