model is made of cheviot, white with
lines of blue, and Is worn with a
blue linen stock. But this last can
be anything one may prefer, or can be
omitted altogether in favor of ribbon

is admirable both for this special
waist and as a model for the odd
ones of which there never can be too
many,
The waist is made with fronts and
back, that are fitted by means of
shoulder and underarm seams and is
gathered at the waist line, the back
being drawn down smoothly, the

The sleeves are the accepted ones of
the season and are finished with
straight cuffs and the shaped stock
finishes the neck.

To Freshen Kid Slippers,

An economical woman has discov.
cred another little way to make the
most of what she has.
White or colored kid slippers often
become shabby in appearance because
the kid has been peeled off the heels
If the slippers are otherwise in good
condition the heels can be made to
look like new by cutting from the top
of an old glove of the same color q
piece of kid large enough to stretch
and paste about the heel. The upper
edge can be securely pushed under
the sole of the shoe and neatly
trimmed at the bottom. If not worn
until perfectly dry the result is most
satisfactory.

Hints for New Gowns,

One Of the loveliest shirt waists Of
the season was made of champagne
colored null. 1t was trimmed with
ivory white lace and piped with pearl
white bands. A deep girdle Of opal
yellow chiffon velvet confined the
waist.
They say there was never so many
new colors as this year. And, not
only are there many new colors from
which to pick, but there are many re.
vived tones. Among the shades which
are either new or revived are opal
yellow, pansy purple, orchid purple
and the new dark pink. These tones
suggest a great deal in the line OF
harmony.

HEARST BOOM SNAGGED.
Democratic Managers in Illinois Try.
ing to Beat the Editor.

New York, April 5.-Chicago CORES
pondefee of the Globe says that Evan
ston, which is Chicago's most aristocratic
suburb. may be the sceen of the Water
loo of William Randolph Hearst. This is
the w-rd passed along from Chicago po-
litical circles, where the recent reappor-
tionment of delegates to the Democratic
national convention has excited comment
The latest plan for the defeat of Hearst
is an ingenious one. II contemplates the
increase Of the grant OF delegates in the
section where the Hearst boom is weak
and the looping off of delegates to the
counties and districts in Illinois where
that movement fourishes like the green
bay tree
II is in Cook county that the scheme is
being given its initial trial by the Demo-
cratic managers bent on encompa ssing
the downfall of the one-man newspaper
syndicate. Chicago's allotment of Demo-
cratic delegates has been VIGOROUSLY les
lened. Chicago is notably Democratic in
both municipal and. national campaigns.
On the other hand. the country districts
outside Of Chicago in Cook county have
had their allotment of Democratic dele
gates increased. II is in the very districts
to receive increased delegations that the
Hearst boom is peculiarly weak. Evan
ston is one of these districts. Proviso,
a west end suburb. is aonther. The latter
town is this year given five delegates to
the convention, contrasted with one allot-
ted two years ago. Throughout the coun-
try towns the same increase runs.
The chief strength of Hearst has ever
been in the less intelligent wards Of the
great cities. In the free air of the coun-
try and of the smaller cities and towns
his boom is laughed at It is these small
er cities and towns that Will be depended
upon TO discount. with their increased
delegations. the Hearst movement when
the roll call of Illinois is made up for the
Democratic convention. 1t is cheering
thought to many that Evanston will be at
the finish
