 The squeezing of the waist line seems to be neglected in favor of the narrowing of the hips.

 You will observe also TOW popular the empire models will become. Last winter when was in Paris they wera all the craze there among the smart set, but very few Americans had the courage to buy any to bring home Truth to tell. the Parisienne will wear more 'nightgowny" models than wf care to be seen in
 Then some genius residing in the Rue de la Paix invented the princess empire gown. and, behold, all of the smart set went over to buy. This fal and winter the leading dressmakers or this side of the water are exploiting the now model.

 We have also a milkman, who sends us regularly sour cream from-let us call 1.-the Painted Post Creamery. The other day I became fncensed and ordered my milk to be sent from a well known dairy, which I will dis guise under the name oY the Butter cup Farms dairy.

the yoke part of this guimpe was loose ly drawn together by a ribbon to form a collarless effect. The ribbon could easily be drawn out and the lace tuck ed away inside of the waist. thus form ing a decollete dress suitable for gala occasions.
 It seemed to me an excellent idea for a woman whose means would not allow her to keep a decollete gown in her wardrobe. but who would have an occasion every now and then to wear one.

BRYAN ON CAMPAIGN
PREDICTS DEMOCRATIC MAJORTTl
 IN THE HOUSE.
Says That Republican Leaders Will Not Allow Roosevelt to Accomplish Anything and Democrats
 Are Hia Support.

Washington. Oct 23.-The letter from William J. Bryan to Chairman Griggs of the Democratic Congressional Com mittee, explaining why he will be un- able to visit Cynthiana, Ky. and i'm cidentally predicting the complexion of the next House of Representatives. was made public today. and is as fol- lows:
 Hon J. M Griggs:
 Dear MT. Griggs-I am very sorry that it is impossible to go to Cynthiana, Ky, but as I wired you all my time Is taken until election. I wish you would convey my regrets to our Dem ocratic candidate for Congress in that district and say to him that I am very anxious for his success.
 The indications are that we shall have the next Congress and then our Democratic House can send to the Sen ate remedial measures and join issues with the Republicans if they refuse to adopt them.
 The Republican leaders are so under control of predatory wealth that they | will not support the President when he attempts to follow Democratic ad- vice and secure some reform. The President does not go far enough ol | fast enough in the direction of reform but his political associates are all the time throwing obstacles in his way.
 The best way to support the Presiden
 is to elect Democrats in the place oi
 Republicans for the records show tha
 the Democrats have stood by him bet 1 ter in the Senate and House than tht l Republicans have. My interest in thi.
 campaign has been shown by the fac
 that I am devoting every day to cam paign work. If your invitation hat
 come earlier I would have set apar

 And this Is painfully true, for in most of the smart millinery shops they will sell you at the same time the right sort of fringe. or side curl. to go with the hat. and without this side or front arrangement of hairdressing which eyer it may be-the hat becomes noth- ing at all. merely a bunch of feathers or fruit or lopsided bouquet of now CTS, which if worn on tt ordinary American pompadour woulu look SUI premely ridiculous.
 There is really a very good reason for the French craze TOT tiny hats Women do not remove their headgear in the theater, but large millinery et- fleets would not he tolerated: hence a multitude of dainty chapeaux hardly larger than a bunch of violets.
 If the American woman wishes to wear French millinery this season she must learn to do her naIr in the elab- crate French fashion.

issue a complaint against the man be-
cause the state law has been declared
unconstitutional by Judge James.
Robson, in company with two friends.

Russell Harding who resigned as vice
president of the Cincinnati, Hamilton
& Dayton railroad shortly before it was
resold by the Erie to the Morgan in

active charge of the plans for the con-
struction of the new line between

remains to be done before the actual
work of construction begins.

Windows of all the car barns that will
be used as sleeping and eating places
for the men who are to take the places
of the strikers have been covered with
boards.
officials of the United Railroads say
they want their men to work long
hours on account of the great amount
Of work to be done in rehabiltating
the roads. They offered the strikers an
increase of % cents a day in wages,
provided they would work ten hours a
cay, as they were before the strike was
declared.
officials of the union who are in
charge of the strike say that about 200
men are out, but this is denied by Of
ficials of the railroad, who say that
between seventy and eighty have quit.
The company admits that all the
linemen. about forty, are out; also the
Sc ction house men, with the exception
of the engineers and assistants. A ma
jority of the shopmen remained al
