Of the 'workingmen of America according TO
Senator Frye. president pro tenn of the Senate.
He said to-day:
few Of the labor organizations of the coun-
try have awakened to the fact that the COM
bination OF transatlantic shipping lines is going
to be followed by the expenditure of from $50
pptoO1 TO S6n,tDe,0p0 for new vessels, and to
the further fact that the passage of the Ship
ping bill would inevitably result in the expendi-
ture OF that sum in this country for the build
ing of ships, which would be entitled TO Ameri
can registry. that in the end this would
nearly all find its way into the pockets of
American worllren.
Those organizations which have grasped this
important fact have petitioned Congress to pass
the bill, and If the others quick enough

In these days, when dress plays
such an important part in life. the
choosing of the style. color or fabric
tnat is becoming is serious matter
No longer is it possible to say to ones
or ones dressmaker Il will have
white or black gown, and thus end
the question. If a woman wants to be
well gOwned she must needs make I'D
her mind that considerable thought
and time, as we'll as money, must be
spent to secure the desired result.
The choosing of a simple little white
frocl1 WILL for instance, make it necos
sary to look over countless different
varieties of white fabrics, thick and
thin, rough and smooth dull and
bright cloths. laces, silks. volvets, and
so on indefinitely. The gowns of the
transparent fabrics always seem es-
pecially we'll suited to the summer
season, and in summer heavy even
ing gown always seems quite out of
place, and this season The manufae-
turefs have apparently recognized
that fact and have no end Of charm
ing transparent materials from which
the choice can be made. Mousseline
de sole and chiffon. under new names
and with some new variation in ef-
feet, continue to be popular, and are
made up in white, black ana all the
delicate shades of color Accordion
p1eating. side pleatng box Floating
and tucks in straight or bayadege eff
feet are still in style, and the skirts
made in these styles have either no
trimming at ALL bands of lace entire
deuX, bands of velvet satin or moire
ribbon, medalions of lace in fine ap-
plique On the material, or with only
rows of chiffon ruehing in clusters of
three five or seven.
The skirt with deep shi1red yoke is
thought smart but is not always be-
coming, and the lace yoke is much |
safer for most figures. A yoke on the |
lower part of the waist as we'll as the
top of the skirt gives princess eff
feet. and. if the line is brought we'll
down in front, is almost without ex-
eeption becoming.
Always becoming and effective are
the lace gowns, but especially attrac-
tive for summer, and for dinner and
ball gowns there is nothing better.
The new fad of making
up the lace gown over an
underskirt of accordion pleated span
gfed net. adds greatly to the cost, but
at the same time adds marvelousy to
the beauty of the gown. for the shim-
mer and sparkle of the spangles seen
through the lace are charmngy effec-
tive. The net or tulle must be of the
sheerest possible quality and in ac-
Gordon pleating and the finer the
race the more effective the gown. In
making up these two materials the
plain skirt is the best, the flounced
or rufded skirts being too close to
show the spangles on the chiffon or
net
Draped effects are also fashionable

in many instances, but fortunately for
the majority of womankind there are
also many designs that are quite sim
pie and not necessarily expensive
Silk net gowns are very charming and
are made UP plain or with lace or en-
broidered applique and insertions.
