New York, April 13-It has been said
and with good reason that the lace cur
tains have been robbed of their Dor
ders. 1t is of linen, strong and heavy
rather than fine; but, however coarse it
may be, it looks we'll when laid along
the dresses as Il new and striking gar
niture The edges to this are naturally
straight, and the square designs give
quite new character to a dress. There
are any number of round medallioEs all
ready to sew on, waist or skirt. The
dull cOlored grass linens and the lovely
soft voiles are all more or less orna-
mented with lace in one form or an
other.
In one Of the swell stores | found
some beautiful gowns and all layishly
decorated with heavy lace Some were
white, with thick medalIions or other
trimming in deep cream and even
string and ecru. This laid over the
pure white is more striking than any
one would imagine.
Several of the white linen and other
materials We're made up with length
wise tucking down to the knees, where
the tucks dwindled out to form the
flare so much sought after. Above the
hem is laid the lace trimming. The
waists are elaborate and richly gar
nished with lace, put on in every con-
ceivable style. Some have the blouse
opened down the front and the two
CI6nS
else medallions in lace set to represent
one straight line. Between the sides
is vest made of finely tucked ma
terial of whatever kind is considered
the most suitable. Fine linen batiste
is often employed for the purpose
In other cases there will be yoke
made of closely tucked material, and
to this is fastened the rest of the waist
The Joined place is invariably marked
out with lace in some special design.
The upper parts of the sleeve are also
laid in tucks. while the lower portion
is in full bishop style. Some of these
sleeves are almost works of art, so or
nate and complicated they are. The
upper part will be either tucked or
shirred and overlaid with lace, while
the lower is made full and often Or
namented to a degree. One kind had
inner sleeves of the batiste of which
the dress was made and outer ones of
tulle. with large medallions of yellow
lace along. The cuffs were quite deep
and one mass of rich lace over the
tulle
Pretty figured silks are developed in
much the same manner, with the same
reckless disregard of cost in lace TRIM
ming. Neat and F'renchy fine taffeta
checks in black and white and dark
blue and white are among the newest
of gowns, and these, too. are plastered
with lace medaIlions between narrow
lines of fine soutaehe braid or narrow
velvet ribbon. The cloth suits have
little or no lace. though some fine
broadeloths do show a few handsome
set pieces on the waist. sometimes also
on the skirt.
The soft and dainty voiles show up
the lace trimming to good advantage.
Many of the pretty mereerized satines
and cotton foulards are trim med quite
as lavishly as the more costly stuffs,
and they look quite as well. There are

WHERE THEY STAND.

The appointiye power of the Governor
should be cut down. Why not do some of
the candidates get out before the people
and tell them where they stand :?-Iber-
Vile South.
The Caucasian has been urging per
sstentiy and ,1ntiringly the return Of all
power to the people. 1t is through the
appointive power that the Governor may
exercise an influence which would not
be in accord with the views Or the wishes
Of the people. With such power the Gov
vr00r may be an au0crat while assum-
ing to discharge the functions Of his Of
fee as a Democrat It is needless to say
that the curtailmcnt Of This power must
be secured through constitutional linn
itati0ns, but it is now in order to force
such an issue and to keep it alive in the
State campaign. The great majority of
Democrats in the State and the people
generally concerned in the welfare of
Louisiana have the right to demand and
should know where and how stand the
gentlemen who aspire to gubernatorlal
honor and to Offices generally.

Austin, April 1.-THE monument
erected by Camp John B. Hood, United
Confederate Veterans, to the Confeder-
ate dead was unveiled Thursday,
The monument consists Of massive
base of gray granite, surmounted by
five heroic figures in bronze, the statue

figure representing each of the branch
es of the Confederate military service
occupying each corner. In the cere-
monies Thursday eliminated hopes
which have for many years been en-
tertained by the members of Camp
Hood. The monument has been paid
for entirely by Subscriptions raised by
that organization, and as many diff
culties and embarrassments were con-
fronted all along the line, the compile
ton of the memorial is all the more
gratifying.
The sculpture is the work of P. Cop

FAIR AND DEMOCRATIC

One of the pleas against the nominal
ton of State officers by primary cleo
lions is that a platform can not be adopt
ed through such a system, and that the
party's platform must be considered and
approved by State convention. Plaus-
ible as is this pretext, the advantage of
nominations by primary election is mani
fest as demonstrated by practical results
in Mississippi, where, when a gentleman
enters the political list, he declares pub
licly his views and his position on the
issues which concern the people. AJnder
UGH system every Democrat in Missis-
slppi, before casting his vote, is Informed
of the attitude of the candidate of his
choice There can be no cut and dried
program, no misunderstanding. Having
pledged himself. by public declarations,
the candidate nominated and then elected
is in honor bound to keep his pledge Or
forfeit the good opinion of his friends
Not so with a convention where the
platform adopted, as characterized by
Bourke Cochran, is good thing to go in
on but may not be 50 good thing to
stand on. Let every gentleman in Louis
lana aspiring to an office, be it governor
or constable, get close to the people and
let the people know where he stands and
what he represents besides his personal
ity Is this not fair and Democratic?

unlawful for a court to punish for con-
