accept the miners offer TO arbitrate and
that he would not have submitted the
proposition if he had not expected them
seriously to consider IL.

the conditions in the bituminous fields

Suesine Silk Dame Fashions Latest
Dictum-The Passing of the Pom

Whimsicalities in dress avoided by the
typical American woman.
To the lover of dress the fashions
Of the present moment are irresistably
attractive. and vet at first glance it is
quite impossible to tell wherein the
attraction lies. There is no stereotype
ed style to weary the eye. There are
many different colorings. and many
different resigns, yet the dictum Of
Dame Fashion is really brief-wide
shoulders. full sleeve tops, bodices that
follow more Or less closely the lines Of
the figure and skirts that are shaped to
the hipes and that widen gradually to-
ward the knees and flare amply from
that point.
It is the details of dress that mean
SO much-the finish Of every article
hat is worn and the fact lat every
article is we'll made and we'll filter that
gives the fashions of the present day
their finished appearance.
AS to fabrics-there may be more
elaborate possibilities among expensive
silks than the simple soft Suesine silk
which is so popular for afternoon toll
cts, but there a be no more pretty or
useful accessory to ones wardrobe, and
this the fashionable has dis
covered with her customary cleverness.
