Satisfactory Economy.
The best news about the challies is that
they are to be worn Just as faithfully as
ever and that no woman can purchase
more wisely than at the counter where
pretty close striped ones are sold. Very
close striped green and black, blue and
black, black and white and lilac and black
challies beguile one at every turn. Some of
the loveliest of this type have their stripes
mo wider than hair lines. with just here and
there on each width black or green or
blue polka dot. After all Is done and said

satisfactory effects with economy than any
other material in the market. Let any wo-

Effective Trimming.
Trimming with bands of dotted material
promises to be a strong feature from this
time forward in all branches of tailoring
and dreSSmakfng, and in the world of linen
things it is to be the ruling passion. Most
wonderful to behold are the soft satin-sur-
faced linens, the damask dotted linens, the
linen bagging, the self-colored linens and
the embroidered linens, all offered in the
shops where the spring stock is being sold.
Among the almost irresistible attractions
are linen robes with hemstitched treatments
and rough, prickly natural flax frocks
Quite as sweetly typical and sturdily useful
as anything yet seen in linen goods is a
gown of violet blue linen, trimmed with
broad bands of cream white linen, thickly
and heavily embroidered in black dots With
this was sold hat Of violet blue straw,
decked with mammoth oX-eyed daisies that
had black velvet centers and petals of CLOS
sy white linen.
This brings up naturally round to discus
sion of hats in general, and spring flowers
in particular. Numbers of straw crowns
with taffeta brims or taffeta crowns that
have straw brtms will soon be forced into
street wear before We get comfortably into
all straw chapeaux. AS to the flowers, 1t
is almost more than feminine flesh and
blood can do to resist buying handfuls Of
them to pile on felt and velvet winter head
gear. Everything in floral way so far has
appeared in trails and wreaths. Crimson
rambler and creamy banksia roses are
twisted together and gloriously crown
flexible hay-green straw; trails of varie-
gated ladies parasols," many-colored WALL
flowers, nasturtiums and orchids in ropes
and dropping clusters nod behind the plate
glass show windows as naturally as in
garden, and women buy them with as much
ayidity as though their heads were bare

PARIS, January IL, 1902.
The vogue of silk seems to be perennial.
The fabric suits all women and is SO
adapted TO variations in cut and design
that it IS small wonder that 1t has so long
retained its hold upon the affections of the
tickle and dress-loving Parisiennes. At
present even the most fashionable wooden
fabrics have a smooth. silky surface which,
In appearance at least, closely allies them
with silk.

from silk.
In PompadOur's Day.
The costumes Of the Pompadour period
tthe middle of the eighteenth century,,
while notable for the gorgeousness of ma
terial. were not especially remarkable for
elegance of form. The short bodices were
invariably straight fronted and supplied
with constrasting vest of white or some
plain material. Then, too, bodices and
skirts were almost invariably badly pro-
portioned. As whole. the sleeves were
admirable, coming to the elbows while
deep f1ounces of the material of the gown
often fell over a series of soft frills of lace
or equally diaphanous stuff. Often the
frills were all of lace.
A new sleeve of black spotted silk exern-
plifies the pompadour idea, its undersleeve
of stitched white chiffon frills overlaytng a
close-fitting cuff of lace
A sleeve of tucked taffeta crossed at the
elbow by a Wide-Stitched cuff secured nv
a single handsome button is an admirable
specimen of the pompadour art. From the
cuff depends a frill of fine lace shading
tight-ftting undersleeve of finely tucked
white crepe de chine.
The short-tailed coats of the middle Of
the eighteenth century have been almost
exactly reproduced by the dressmakers of
the Rue de la Paix. Cut-out embroideries
decorate the fronts of some of these cloth
coats, lace over silk filling in the open
spaces in front. A new lace-trmmed coat
adorned with such an embroidery was
made of blue cloth and finished with deep
lace founces at the examinations Of the
turned-back cuffs. A fionncng of lace
came around and down the front over
soft White vest outlined with handsome
bands of sable.

The inquiry may be made why we only

to cause the commission of like crime.
1T is plain that we may make 1t an offense
to advise or advocate or procure the commits
sion OF a crime, for that endangers the
satety of the state, may disturb the public
peace, or subvert the government.
Hence such a law does not infringe the
constitutional prohibitions, Congress shall

will not prevent a state from Furnishing the

the offense is committed within such state,
unless the federal authority sees fit to in

both, may punish.
Want of Law q ReprOach.
Indeed. it is a reproach to our country
that it's government is now powerless (be-
cause Congress has not acted to punish the
assassin of it's chief magistrate-its Presi-
dent-or even compel such punishment when
the act is committed within any one of the
forty-fve states. May one state by inaction

other forty-four when the President is muir
dered for any of the reasons or under any

reproach that plots to assassinate our Presi-
dent and rulers of foreign countries with
which we hold diplomatic relations may be
hatched and perfected within any one of
these states without fear OF moleSta tion
from federal authority. Nor is it any less
a reproach that we now permit the inflow
and naturalization of persons who are out
