OF Exquisite Materials and

In this evening wrap of delicate apple

Itself in every line of the garment. Fash
Toned Of this beautiful lustrous material IT
depends little upon elabora ton in the way
of trimmings for added beauty. The en-
pire mode is attractively carried out by a
draped yoke Of the veIyeteen, to which is
attached the full straight skirt beneath a
two-inch belt, showing a design In rocco
ribbon embroidery in soft pastel shades.
The skirt Is shirred several times below
this belt, and above the hem. which comes
within few inches OF the floor. two wide
lace bands In delicate cream shade are
inserted. these turning the corners of the
fronts and running up to the bust line,
losing themselves beneath jabot of lace,
which cascades from the neck over the
bust. charming feature. and one which
stamps the coats truly Partisan. is the
Capuchin hood Of the velvet lined with
ermine, the ermfne shaped as to extend

vers. The sleeves are full and shfrred In

chiffon, falls over wide, full friii of

A Partisan Tailor-Made
BY PERDOUX.

The taiIor-made gown fills a niche In
even the most modest wardrobe that can
not well be filed by any other type Of the
dressmaker's art. Whether the dress al
lowance be hugely extravagant one, or
the slender sum that demands much
thought, and still more forethought to Its
spending, the tailored production is
that cannot very well be reckoned with
out
An extremely clever compromise be-
twixt the warning factions in tailor mades
is effected IN the model of Perdoux that
appears here. On the one hand the de-
mand of the plain and severe. almost mas
culfne effects Is observed in the slightly
mannish cut of the coat; while the exigen-
cies of the dressier type. known as the
demi-tailleur. make themselves apparent
in the richly braided waistcoat, the en-
broidered buttons, and the extreme. though
graceful. funess OF the skirt
The vogue that attends the combination
of plain and plaided goods is observed In
the use of a smart shade of sapphire blue
chiffon broadcloth for the coat and a
plaided broadcoth, In which this same
color Is the dominant tone. for the skirt
The latter Is further enhanced by an over
plaid effect in black satin stripe. which
serves 20 block out the squares OF soft
blue coloring- No touch OF the plaid APP

Some Dainty Accessories.
There Is evident a very strong I ing
for chiffon velveteen on the part Of the
younger section Of society especially
those who have to accomplish their sar-
toriai aims and ambitions upon a stated
dress allowance. To such a pitch of per-
lection have the manufacturers brought
this same once-despised velveteen that
IL often takes more than a passing glance
to distinguish 1t from Its much more e.
pensive cousin. the chiffon silk velvet.
All the bloom and softness of coiorfng
are there. and when contrasted with q

expensive fabric is gained. and without
undue cost either.

COMMERCIAL
R. c. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Trade RI

R. G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Trade Re-
view says:
Wholesale trade for the week was sea-
sonably quiet, with stock taking in prog
ress, and statesmen preparing to go out
on their spring trips. Bad weather and
the holidays combined to diminish the
volume of retail business, which was
hardly up to expectations.
THE week in clothing has been quite
active, in spite of its being between sea-
sons; orders coming in are of substantial
volume, and retailers evidently anticipate
good spring season. Business in dry
goods and notions at wholesale is only
normal, and spring trade has not yet
opened. Manufacturers of straw hats
are very busy and there is brisk demand
for shirts and mems furnishing goods
There is no let up in the demand for
shoes, and jobbers expect fully as large
a trade for the coming season as last
year.
Business in leaf tobacco has become
more active since the first of the year,
collections are good and prices continue
high. Holiday trade in manufactured
tobacco exceeded expectations, and col
lections are fair, though. prices are uD-
steady. Harness manufacturers report
that statesmen are sending in fair orders
from the road, but collections are unsatis

Mankind is nomadic, and while the
sweetest poetry in the language is in
spired by the old home, the monu-
mental work in the world has been ac-
complished in the main by those who
left the parental roof to pursue else
where the quest for fortune, fame and
high success. Nevertheless, the love
for the old home abides. The re-
union OF those who remain and those
who have departed is an occasion
that will stir the pulse of any COM
munity in which such a soulful event
takes place. The pretty announce
ment was made by a newspaper in

AS a rule newcomers are rather ex-

booked to take leading part in dis
cussion of the railroad rate measure.
For many years Pennsylvania sena-
tors have almost conf. themselves
