A colorful season is upon us, a color,

we may mention that peacock blue has

combination, a white matinee coat
worn with chinchilla furs and hat
of peacock tones. 1t was different

matinee apparel. We are moved TO tell
of pretty little dress we saw the
other afternoon at the theater. 1t was
one of the old-rose cloth costumes
that have been noticeable this winter
but this one was especially dainty and
very becoming to the darkhairel girl
who wore it. The skirt was a princess
with high girdie, the upper part OF
the bodice lowered silk muslin. old
rose with Celebrations in dull browns
and greens. The muslin was fashioned
with much fiufliness, and gave a dressy
look to what might have been rather
plain costume. The hat was covered
with plumes of rosy hue, shading from
pink to wine red.

or wool may be transformed by the ad.

Pompadour ribbon. A little Persian
trimming is very effective on utiii

sary to mention that trim stock and
cuffs are a dainty finish not to be
neglected. but often this important
detail is omitted. There is decided
tendency toward relieving the former
plainness Of the shirt-waist suit and
the favorite means is by use of fl

OLLIR JAMES

Husband and Guides Point
Out James.

Washington, April "a Repre-
sentative Ollie James, of Kentucky,
Is nowadays filing the role of BRIDE
groom, although he does not know It.
The Washington guides are making
capital out of his badness by making
him the victim of a deep laid plot in
which the visitors in the city are
the victims. Washington is thronged
with tourists who, as soon as they
have shaken hands with the presi-
dent through ' the good Offices of
their representative, put themselves
in the hands of a professional guide
and HE themselves to the capitol.
Once there they Immediately insist
on having Representative Longworth
pointed out They take no interest
in Aldrich, SpoQner, Williams or Can
non. evidently regarding those states
men as "pikers." They cut the guide
short as he is pointing out Grosvenor,
and ask impatiently: But where is
Alice Roosevelt's husband?"
When Longworth is not there
and he usually isn't--the tourists are
indignant and look with suspicion
on the guides. The latter have ae-
cordingly formed the useful habit
of pointing out Ollie James as Long
worth. Sometimes they are forced to
select someone else with scarcity
of hair, but Mr.. James is their first
choice. The tourists look with admi-
ration on the bunko bridegroom and
depart In peace.

Unless early and correct treatment is

when once the disease Is fastened upon

Vegetable Compound Is the most eff

troubles of women, and is the only med
icine especially prepared for this
purpose.
When woman Is troubled with pain
or weight In loins. backache, frequent.

cense was favorably acted on.
The city solicitor was ordered to
pay the East Tennessee Telephone
Co. $4,000 in order that the city be
in proper condition to enter the
courts to fight the company and
make II buy a franchise.
Three ordinances for the sale OF
franchises to operate street cars on
specified streets were given second
passage.
The board voted to have all busiS
ness referred to committees reported
on every meeting night in order that
no delay be occasioned in the action
of the board.
Clerk Henry Bailey was instruct
ed TO keep a list OF all business re-
ferred to committees. and at the close
of each meeting to make out a state
ment and forward IT by mail to each
chairman of the committees having
the work in hand.
The committees are furthermore
required in the future to make a re-
port each meeting of progress made
in the work in hand. In this way bus
iness never "hangs fire." Committees
will know what work they have to do
and by being required to report on it
from meeting to meeting, will take
more interest in twill push 1t to
completion.
One of the matters TO be acted
on is the drafting of an ordinance
districting saloons. The boundary
line has been fixed from the river on
Clay street to Tenth, from Tenth to
Norton, and east on Norton to the
river. All territory within this boun-
dary will be subject to saloon IL

license will be granted. The ordi-
nance will be drafted in a few weeks,
