While she was in charge Of school

Miss Sanford had been called away by

Their opposition defeated Miss San

Gauze Ribbons for Flounces.

Gauze Ribbons for Flounces.
The touch Of trimmings is very OBJ
vious in all of those charming sum-
mer gowns. The silken gowns make
lavish use Of velvet ribbons, and even
Of braid. A recent novelty is gauze
ribbon with either a floral pattern or
else Persian design printed upon it.
When the ground is changeable, as it
so often is, there is charming effect
changing lights. In all colorings these
gauze ribbons are finding thousand
and one applications, but the chiefest
is for ruffing the new skirts and for
making sheer landings, either fat or
bouillonne, between the rows Of lace
encrustations that go to deck the i'm
ported summer designs.

Charming and Economical.

One of the most charming conceits---
and one of the most economical as well
that Dame Fashion has vouchsafed us
for some time is the dinner coat. One
can fashion it Of almost any material,
and the crux of the situation is that 1t
must, it simply must be worn with a
skirt that contrasts strongly. There need
not be. a single note of connection be-
tween that coat and the skirt; they
are as utterly INDEPENDENT each of the
other as tho they did not belong to the
same wardrobe at all.
The modes of the late Louis periods
are what the up-to-date girl is copying
of lace, Of velvet or Of brocade, it must
not display any Of the :negligee lines or
effects that have recently characterized
so many Of even our most formal fash
ions. It must display that perfection
of cut ard of fit which is the very latest
demand Of fashion, and it must cling as
closely to the lines of the figure as
the class Of material and Individual
comfort will permit.
Soft and supple satins in dull and
faded tones are simply delightful for
these dinner coats. There. are some old
blues, soft, dull sage green's, faded rose
tints and harmonious browns that &C.

or chiffon skirts. Those that are to be
worn with dark or black skirts, how.
ever, must show some more dominant
note Of color, and for these the warp

more brilliant tones in plain taffeta an6
messaline are commended.

All the filmy fashions Of our grand
mothers are back and in high esteem
once more. There are delightful dotted
swisses, plumetis, figured chintzes, tam
boured muslins, as well as the organ,
dies, the embroidered moussellnes and
the washable taffetas and chlffons. In
silk ginghams, too, there are some very
fetching frocks, and as for the linen
and cotton voiles and such the tale OF
them is simply endless.
Linen and cotton prevail for the
morning gowns, and for these the shirt
waist suit in some one or another Of its
many fascinating manifestations is the
choice Of the clever dresser. For the
morning tramp over the links, the prac-

the shirtwaist suit is the accepted thing,
with it's killed skirt cut so short that it

black shoes that are so fattering to the
large foot, as well as to the one of

Lingerie Gowns Miscalled.

What we term over here the lingerie
gown-by the way, the smart Parisienne
would hold up her hands in holy horror
at the title, lingerie being a word that
she never dreams of mentioning in any
other connection save that of the most
intimate of underwear-but what we
miscall the lingerie gown, has become
such an elaboration, such an intricate
and complicated affair Of frills and ruff
es, lace and ribbon and silk founda-
tions, that it's original use as an infor-
NAL morning frock has altogether been
lost sight of, and the very latest con-
fections in this line are far more suited
to afternoon and dinner wear than any
thing else.
The princess mode is cleverly man
aged in some of these dainty gowns.
The material is handkerchief lawn of
the finest linen, made with a collarless
yoke of little rosettes of a yellowish
Valenciennes-and,b by the way, this
yellowish lace shows up to excellent ad-
vantage upon white frock-t the
rosettes connected with fancy lace
stitches in fine thread. To this the
gown is applied in the finest Of. pinch
tucks, these released to form the fulness
over the bust. The close fit at the
waistline is attained by lengthwise
tucks disposed in girdle fashion, and
over these the lace meanders IN a
Greek key design that is both fasc1nat-
mo and f1attering to the figure.

.D|M|NU|T|VE BRITISH
PUG TO CROSS OCEAN

Jem Bowker, the little bantam
weight who won from frankie Neil
in London last year, Is coming to
America. Charlie Mitchell, Jem
Carney, Dick Burge and Pedlar
Palmer have all basked in the light
OF British favor and have been pet
ted and fawned upon in true British
fashion They have passed from
the stage and the limelight is &C.
cupied by the diminutive idol -
Bowker.
Bowker, who as bantam cham
pion of England, did something no
other British champion has ever
accomplished, and that is to beat
the American champion for the
worlds title.
Englishmen had good opinion
of Bowker previous to that event,
but when he beat frankie Neil de-
cisively for the championship Of
the world everybody in the little
island simply went mad over Bow
ker. He cemented the high opin-
ion of his admirers when he easily
disposed of Pinkey Evans, a chal-
lenger for the title.
But Bowker was steadily getting
heavier, and soon found it impos-
sible to make the bantam limit OF
116 pounds. Then he was COM
PEELED to relinquish the title and
turn his attention to the next class.
He frankly confessed that he had
outgrown the bantam class and
came out as the claimant of the
featherweight championship Of
England.
His first challenger was Spike
Robson, an English featherweight
of some class, whom Bowker beat
after a rather good battle. Bow
ker Is now resting on his laurels,
and his next battle may be with
Attel, who claims the feather
weight title Of America.

is a good, stiff puncher, as was
proven by the condition of frankie

New York two weeks after the

NEW YORK, Dec. 20-The senti-
ment in favor of municipal reform
and greater purity in local politics,
which has caused such an upheaval
at the last municipal election, has
by no means died out. 1t has found
firm footing among the better
elements of both parties and deter
mined efforts have since been made
to shake off the yoke of boss rule,
which has rested so heavily upon
both leading parties. While the
Civil League and the Municipal
Ownership League are principally
responsible for the revolt against
the corrupt rule of Tammany hall
and its bosses, the republican par
ty of this city owes it directly to
President Roosevelt that it was en-
abled to emancipate itself from the
oppressive rule of Odell, who COM
bined the position of governor of
the state with that of the political
boss of the New York republicans.
The election of Governor Higgins
greatly strengthened the reform
element in the republican party, but
nobody can say how long the Odell
rule would have been perpetuated
had it not been for the direct inter-
ference of President Roosevelt. The
question, who is to be the leader
of the republican party in this city,
will be decided this afternoon at
a meeting of the republican county
