The LIGHT Wrap.

At the seashore thin waists need
a light wrap. For this purpose jack
cts with military appearance are be-
ing worn. The jacket shown in the
picture worn with a simple null
waist and a white linen skirt is made
of white broadcloth with trimmings
of green cloth, further ornamented
with white broadcloth straps and
buttons.
The girdle is green and the tie
matches the girdle and jacket. The
lace wells are worn tossed back over
the hat, forming the fall at the
back. A thin veil is sometimes worn
over the forehead and hair to keep
the hair in place.

after the contract for supplying cleo

that the city be restrained from en-

acting contrary to the charter pro-
visions in awarding the contract to
the Cataract company.
The case was dismissed by Judge
Huston in January, 1902, and an
