As for the new model gowns in thin
fabrics, they are quite charming. Only
a few are to be seen as yet, and those
at the most exclusive shops, so they
may be taken as authentic styles. All
of these dainty gowns are made simply.
with full round skirts, quite short Cir
dies of silk and leg-of-mutton sleeves.
There is scarcely an exception to these
general rules, but The variations are
many. No monotony need be feared.
A handsome linen crash gown will IN
doubtedly serve as a model for many
similar shirtwaist suits. The skirt had
q broad box plat in front and shallow
side plaits the rest of the way round.
Just above the wide hem was a. band
of lace and cut work about six inches
wide The heavy guipure lace used was
SO skilfully incorporated with the
broderie Anglaise of the linen that the
pattern seemed to be one. The lace
was very wide open in design and the
entire strip was in an open pattern
Two of the strips were on the waist
arranged in a surplice, and narrow
strips trimmed the collar and high
cuffs. The sleeves were in large puffs
to the elbow where they were met by
a, tight sleeve to the wrist. This was
striped with three lace bands. There
was a cravat and a. crush belt of
emerald green chiffon velvet.

ranged in diaper, were small bouquets
of blue forget-me-nOts, embroidered
on the satin. There was a transpar-
ent lace yoke, which was outlined at
the collar, and at the foot of the yoke
with bands of green velvet The waist
was draped and embellished with the
lace wreath and the blue embroidery
trimming. A girdle pointed sharply
top and bottom finished the bodice.

In figured silks and muslins there
is a decided tendency toward Vatican
effects-posies sprink1ed on plain or
chameleon grounds. Gowns of such
fabrics have full skirts elaborated
with frills and puffs of self materials,
while waists are as fussy as ingenuity
can make them.
The draped waist of the surplice or
der has been a little too much done
this winter to predict a re-entry for
it for spring. Just look over the
boxes at the opera or theater and de-
tect it by the white lace or gauze V
at the throat. This pointed neck is, as
a natural consequence of crossover
exigencies, much more in evidence
than the round yoke effect.
The girdle is all important in the
elaborate toilet. The old idea that
only slender women may wear deep
waist swathings has been done away
with. Women with waists of undue
girth, in the hands of a skillful dress
maker, issue with belts half to their
arms yet with appearance far from
marred. All depends in the deep
girdles upon the lines produced by
shaping and draping. Stout women,
unfortunately for them, must eschew
belts ano girdles that contrast in color
with bodices and skirts. 1t is the
well-proportioned woman who is fav-
ored by being able to wear the pretty
silk girdles that harmonize for in
stance, with the floral patterns of the
pretty organizes.

In the linen shirtwaist suits shown
nearly every skirt had a box plated
front panel. AS a rule the plated
skirts are rather less full than they
were last year. That is to say, the
plaits were set farther apart and SEEM
ed shallower, although the skirts them
selves were not less ample. Handker-
chief linen and thin linens generally are
to be very popular. Hand embroidery
and embroidery combined with lace
trim most of the new models. Canton
linens embroidered in Japan have quite
a vogue, and while it is true that they
have a character all their own, the mo-
tive seems to the lover of true Japanese
handcraft to be a little forced. A shirt
waist or a skirt is an alien garment in
Japan-and the conventional designs
required by these simple and severe
garments are foreign to the art ira
dftions of the Japanese. They are,
therefore, working outside their own
ideals of art when they embroider
waist fronts and collar and cuff bands.
The result is that even the handsom@st
of these waists has a kind OF = made
by-the-dozen, factory look. Occasion
ally one sees a model which avoids this.
A waist with single spray Of chrysan-
themum embroidered on one side was
an example of the best kind. The flow
err was one of the loose, shaggy yarle-
ties and the petals sprawled widely.
The collar and cuffs were not emb1cid-
cred at all.

There is nothing astonishingly new
about the sheer cottons yet, but the
patterns with their pretty flowers
sprinkIed on sheer white grounds are
very attractive. They are near of

accessories match the foliage or the
flower, according to taste. Pale pur-

Sleeves are bouffant at the top.
Radicals outstand them with fine
wires and reeds. Conservatives use
soft ruf1e foundations to effect a more
moderate pouffantry. Few skirt hens
are substantiated, fewer than last

cannot be too wide. The only sub
sanitation found in the smartest gowns
is in silk frills multiplied on each

Secretary Bonaparte, who has
made a gallant fight against COR
ruptionists in Maryland, and
who, looking at the masquerade
ing corruptionists in Pennsyl-
vania, declares that when men
are in politics for what they get
out of it they belong to no polltl-
cal party at ALL" The most for
midable obstacle to reform here
has been the persistent neglect
of the people to withdraw from
the corrupt leaders their sup
port, lest the movement should
be mistaken for disloyalty to the
the party" The above from
the Philadelphia North Ameri-
can is not only hard on the ma
chine gang in the city of Broth
erly Love but alsoo on the gang OF
iobbers in South Dakota who are
trying to make the rank and file
of their party believe that they
are the republican party in the
state, and that loyalty to their
selfish interests is the only test
of good republicanism in the
state of South Dakota.

It is a hard year for gamblers.
Governors Herrick of New York
and Falk of Missouri are each
engaged in a warfare on the pool
sellers of the race track. Chief
of-Police Collins is trying to
clean the city of Chicago Of
gamblers, and Tom Johnson,
Cleveland's famous mayor, has
put pool selling under the ban in
that city. But, more remark
able still, Deadwood, the wide
open mining town, has banished
gambling of every kind, while
the neighboring county of Meade
follows suit. The moral wave
struck Aberdeen some time ago,
and, although the,bucket shop is
still open, the gambling joint up
street is supposed to be inoper-
alive, and recent court records
show that several have been fined
for indulging in a quiet game Of
poker.
