PARTY REPRESENTATIONS.

William Allen White, writing
nader the caption OF "The Reorgan-
izstion OF the Republican Party" IN
tbs issue OF The Saturday Evening
Post of the 3rd instant, gives MS
views why it is necessary that the
Republican party should be reorgan-
lied. The article opens by giving it
as his opinion that "ths meaning OF
the result OF the recent general elec-
tion seems to be personal triumph
for President Roosevelt" The next
paragraph begins with the follow
ing assertion that "the Republican
party of the ninstiss is not the Re-
publican party of today. Not merely

the hair from scattering. and supplies
it with a brilliant FURNISH.
Many, indeed, are the valuable Sc
crets the coiffeur might pour into the
listening ear, but the final word on
the hair subject has a literal golden
weight. To be well coiffed one must
spend money, and much money, for
human hair is growing dearer every
day, and the false pieces are so deli
cately made that they are soon unfit
for use. Professional care of the hair
is also indispensable, for ignorance
on the subject of correct washes, dyes
and methods of treatment will natural
~ result in poor results.
Fashionable Dyes.
AS to dyes, the fashionable color
ings still include many shades of au-
burn with BLUSH black for the SEN
timental thing. But in Paris" writes
q correspondent of authority, "a num-
Der of the best coiffeurs object to dye
ing and only resort to it when abso-
lutely necessary. The consequence is
one encounters many women with gray
or turning hair superbly dressed, who
look years younger than If their
heads were tinted a youthful hue. A
certain colorless brown-mouse you
might almost call (which goes with
white-skinned, dove-dyed type Of
French woman is also enormously adj
mired."
Thus wags the world on the sub
ject of hair. A word on bodices may
follow.

exception to this, maybe, is In the
jacket of colored brocade, which may
be worn with a black or white lace
skirt. Numbers of such coats are seen,
brilliantly hued, and made dashing
with stiffened tails, gemmed buttons
and rich laces which form smart era
watts and sleeve trimmings of much
beauty.
Details of n Theafer Get-Up.
Charming details of the theatre get
up are some new French gloves,
whose wrinlling arm pieces are orna-
mented with miniature lace rosettes
or insets. These anonymously
enough. are Of suede and the orna-
mentation comes from the fact that
sleeves are so much shorter than for
nlerly. Then they may, in a way, be
called gloves de style, for they are
designed especially for the pointed.
high bustled bodices which owe their
inspiration to the courtly old models.
Which such bodices and gloves,a black
velvet band about the bare throat and
velvet bracelets are said to be worn
I'm the evening by chic women in Paris.
Magnificent gem brooches fasten the
bands and unique ornament is some-
times worn in the highly dressed Golf

A Charming COrsage.

French gray silk. in a trellised vine
pattern, composes the gown ITSELF
which aecords admirably with a de-
mure crown of braids.
The fifth waist, which Is also part
of a costume shows the elegant and
smart combination of mauve and pale
blue, as well as the puffings so univer-
sally employed. The gown is of blue
silk and the trimmings of mauve chif
fon and veloUrs mousseline combined,
while the skirt front depicts the old
robe treatment French makers delight
to exploit.
But" the fair critic will say, "since
the subject was theater waists why in
troduce the skirts" and Madame the
Modste will tell you that it is because
the high world now looks a little cold
ly upon the odd bodice. Ravishing
ones are seen and they are exploited
by smart dressers, but the harmonious
ensemble of a costume is thought to
supply the most satisfactory get-up.
Numerous splendid skirts of velvet,
silk, poplin, ETC., are accompanied by
waists entirely of lace, but whatever

ed, bretelles and sashes of the skirt

From Paris also comes grandmoth-

a bead fringe at the bottom, and is

larly handsome bag shows the upper
and lower part OF peacock-blue beads.

The Hair-Dresser More

In these days of luxurious costum-
ing and bare heads for theatre and
concert, the importance of the couture
cannot be set aside. 1t is not sufficient
TO have the hair clean, well brushed,
and arranged with a moderate degree
of becomingness. The head which sets
off a smart gown must match it in
elaboration and show smooth and
regular waves, puffs. coils and braids,
all to be raised from the Uranium in
way to suggest a dainty wig. TO ac-
complish this. professional figures are
required, and now, as in the olden
days, previous to all smart evening
functions, the hair-dresser goes from
door 10 door to coax rebellious locks
into wonderful structures.
Low Dressing and ChignOns.
False pieces are required for the
majority of heads. and such bits go
under the general titles of the trans
formation, the Partisan parting and
the regent dip. The pieces are made
up with an Undesirable lightness, and
for the most part to order. Many of
them mingle with the natural hair in
a most deceiving way. There is never
false or heavy look. for instance of
the old matted palpably unnatural
rats" all front padding is now made

Juvenile To$Sery Gains in Simplicity

In season when grown-ups' clothes
are ornate to the point of looking

simplicity reigns. effective and restful.
While their elders are going in for

lief after so much stirring, straight
and applied.
The one exception in the matter
of coloring is the plaids, which are
more than ever popular for small girls
and BOYS and for Miss Sweet Sixteen.
But the plaid is made up very simply
without trimming, save, perhaps, a
fold or two of velvet and buttons.
Another feature of the year in LII

A group of pretty theater waists
displayed with well-dressed heads
shows each a charming relationship
with the accompanying coiffure. A
Louis Jacket, set off by low looping
of braided hair decked with pink
roses dew-dropped with stones
is of blue and white pompadour silk
in brocaded grape design. The alb
sence of betting permits very becom-
ing pleating at the slender waist line,
which Is held down by gem orna-
ments. The sleeves are wide, three
quarter length. and turned back with
deep Louis cuffs over a fall OF lace.
The high stock, the round collar and
the vest are of all-over lace in the
same pattern, with pipings of blue vel
vet. This jacket represents one of
the novel theater garments of the sea-
son and II is meant 90 be worn with a
plain velvet skirt in the same color.
The Marie Antoinette Bodice.
In a fashion equally fastidious and
quantity old-time is a point Marie An
toinette bodice in ivory mousseline
velours. A tight swathing of the soft
material over a closely fitted lining,
and short sleeves which are feats of
millinery, are delightful features of
this waist which is shown with a skirt
in the same material. The yoke is of
lace draped with a fichu OF India null,
and the bodice fastens slightly at the
left front under three bows OF coral
pink taffetas.
The third bodice in Importance is OF

False Pieces for Most Heads.
The low hair dressing which dis
plays a chignon-like arrangement of
puffs and braids under a net is also
much admired, as we'll as a broad
looking simple braid. This last style
of couture. upon youthful heads, is
frequently ornamented with artificial
flowers sprinkled with rhinestone
dewdrops, which produce a most brill
liant picture. An enormous number
of tinsel and flower ornaments are
used for evening coiffures with very
dressy or low toilettes, and some are
so expensive as quite to take the
breath away. But the ordinary high
bodice which the theater or concert
calls for. does not demand these
spangled bows. irridescent butterflies
and diamond-sparkled wreaths

ings set like pin cushions at the top
of the head.
A Smooth Wide waving.
A smooth, wide waving OF the front
and side locks, with such combs and
slides as appear fitting, seems to be
the chief thing here for the ordinary
evening head. Then II must not go to

hilts for Small Boys
Bright colored plaids are employed
In kits for small boys, in simplv

IN shirt-waist suits and more dressy
frocks for their older sisters. They
are the most desirable of fabrics for
the economical woman, as they re-
qulre little or no trimming. Braid
which harmonizes well with the pre-
dominating color-tone in the plaid
ana buttons are used for trimming
this material.
A very pretty dress for a girl four
teen was developed in shirt-watst
Iasnlon from Scotch plaid showing
nne stripe of gold silk. The skirt was
made with side plaits. The blouse
was also plated back and front, the
central plat in the front being a little
wider than the side plaits, and set off
by groups Of buttons arranged in
three between two rows of plain green
braid. The buttons were of gold. heay-

A more elaborate plaid gown for
girl Of about the same age showed
navy blue and a blush white, with a
hair line of red. This was made up
with cardinal red velvet, which match
ed the red stripe. The skirt was laid
in big plaits and the blouse was made
with shocked fronts set into a Shout

Never have the counters displavaa

For Afternoon and Party Wear.
For afternoon and party wear. finer
wash fabrics may be employed and
here may enter the most delicate of

ished for two little sisters in a
wealthy New York family, dresses
which furnish excellent models for

class. The material used was hand

This design can also be produced in a

popular English eyelet work.
Dutch YOI<es Popular.
Dutch yokes are extremely popular
for the little party dresses, and there
is practically no end to the fabrics
to be employed. There is nothing
more satisfactory than the fine lawns
trimmed with delicate lace, but point

eolienne and crepe albatross are also
used.
School coats take on military ef-
: fects, and are almost invariably
double breasted, with strappings OF
the same material, or braid and but
tons. For smarter coats which are
to be trimmed, velvet is unquestion-
ably the most popular fabric. Both
the plain velvet and the broad-tail
velour are used in combination with
fur and lace for this purpose. Plain
velvet gives the best result in CON-
bination with fur or lace, while
handsome buttons are generally suffi-
cient to set off the coat of broad-tail
velour. If silk is employed, it shows
novelty braids and buttons are en-
ployed for trimming.
