In the matter OF colorings and fabrics
1t is to be a season Of delicate tlnts and
lightweight materials. Never before have
so many light-colored serges, cheviots and
mohairs been launched on the market, and
what is more. they are without doubt to
have an unprecedented vogue. Grays, ef-
fected by every mixture of black and white
including many striking checks. and tans
that display invisible plaids in equally nu-
merous designs, are eagerly being sought
for by leaders in Dame Fashion, cult, while
everything tends to show that even In
rainbow colorings the subdued. faded hues
H. delicate tints will fashion most of the
smart suits.
SiciIienne cloth stands at the head of
serviceable and modsh materials, while
all other mohair weaves Will continue TO
run it close second in popular favor.
Broadcloth never will go out Of fashion,
of that you may be certain; but for sum-
mer wear a lightweight rough wooden goods
that shakes dust easily more than repays
the careful shopper for its purchase by
keeping its freshness during the entire sea-
son. Voiles of sheer and less wiry weave
are again to the fore. and are patterned IN
stunning platds and checks. which will be
made up over plain silks of a contrasting
color.

illustrated this tablier effect appears to
splendid advantage giving height and
slimness to the figure The circular seams
on either side fall in deep rippIes, and the
skirt barely clears the ground.
Another form of this extended yoke skirt
carries the yoke half way to the bust line,
and produces a kind of princess effect.
Extremely natty is a plaid walking skirt,
having the princess yoke extending in a
narrow widening gore to the bottom of the
ankle-length jupe. Three cores on either
side of the skirt have their seams trimmed
from waist to hip line with cloth-covered
buttons, below which pleatings of plain
material let in between each gore.

also fastened In by means of narrow tucks
instead OF gathers.
The other two popular styles of suit coats
are the sezni-htting pony Jacket and the
short bolero that tops skirts cut on prill-
cess lines. The latter coat is a mere sug-
gestion of a wrap, but is immensely prac-
teal for summer wear. There IS danger,
however. Of its vogue being run into the

not realize what trying little garment 1t

The latter summary additions also adorn
the waist length holero, of which n fetch

raspberry colored broadcloth. The jacket
shows the merest suggestion Of fullness

white lace inserting and ruchings and bows

which is also here used for a high girdle,
this waist was offered at S3.98. Since the
added decoration only follows the line of
the original one. the extra smartenng Is
the easiest possible matter. In reckoning
the quantity Of velvet especially that used
for the ruchng. it IS necessary to buy thTea

calls for.

Extra Bodices.
Next in Importance to fresh millinery at
this season IS the odd bodice, which may
supplement some omission or help to con-
Jinue a skirt whose proper waist is no
longer in condition to wear There is al
ways talk of odd waists being shelved. but
indications for spring and summer point to
a renewed interest in them, In fully made
and half-made state the shops display more
styles in odd waists than may be counted.
The more exquisitely confected ones what
ever their materials are naturally dear for
vast amount of hand work still embel-
fishes everything.
Many varieties of lace are also still used
In a single bodice, with the entirely new
kink Of introducing touch OF delicate color
here and there over the garment. For ex-
ample a waist of lace net and plain net,
decorated with a wonderful flower design OF
Irish lace, showed here and there tiny baby
roses Of pale pink. These were in the Irish
also. a stock, sleeve edge and girdle Of pale
pink satin ribbon repeating the delicate
note.
Easy to Make.
The lingerie bodices put up in boxes are
most desirable purchases. for since the
stock and long cuffs of these are already
complete putting the waist together is
simple matter. Happily, too, fancier ma
terials are now seen in this form. Partly
fashioned waists of net embroidered silk
and beautifully worked Cashmeres, show
often n very elaborate collar or bertha
trimming as we'll as the cuffs and stock.
These details are finished to the last stitch,
and the waist patterns on which they ap-
pear are very fascinating to the girl who
IS beginning to make her own clothes The
simplihcation of the feat is an encouraging
feature and the lines marked out permit
girls of individual tastes and skill to set
them off with elaborate trimmings. This
additional establishment Is very necessary
for the cheaper bodices, which run so often
10 single and not too smart design, but
one which may be made sometimes quite
special and charming by means of a little
extra trimming.
In the bodice drawing on this pag are
shown two ways of matchmaking ready
made or half-made waists.

In spite Of the treachery and unheard of difficulties. Arizona under his leadership still retains her integrity and autonomy. We appeal to all citi- zens of the territory irrespective of party, to lay aside partisan prejudices and join with us on the broad platform of patriotism. the love of Arizona. and unanimously return him to the position he has so signaIly honored.
 Resolved That the democrats of this county demand the strict enforcement of the present revenue laws of the ter ritOry, and are in favor of the enact ment of such laws as will bring about a proper assessment of all the taxable property in the territory: that We do not ask that the railroad, mining and other corporations of this territory be taxed more in ratio than we farmers and business men. but We do demand that they be assessed and pay taxes in the same ratio to the cash value of their property as the rest of the tax payers of the territory, and we com mend the present territorial admins tration in so far as it has appropriated ana carried out the principles of the democratic platform of Maricopa coun- ty, of 1904, in attempting to compel these corporations to pay their just proportion of the taxes
 Resolved, That the extravagant and unnecessary ranger force should be abolished, and the laws creating it be repealed
 Resolved, That the democrats of Maricopa county are unaIterably op- posed to joint statehood with New Mexico. and we instruct our delegates to the democratic convention at Bisbee to use their best efforts to see that there is strong anti-jofnt statehood plank inserted in the platform to be adopted at that convention

the nominating convention that he neg lected to keep a weather eye on the convention at the critical moment, with the result that not a single delegate to Bisbee was secured by the Third ward. If Mark Smith, therefore, fails to get the nomination, the Third ward OG Phoenix will not be to blame.
 The trouble between Chairman Smith of the resolutions committee and Mem Der Osborn. was ostensibly the en- dorsement of the Kibbey administra- ton, but it is whispered among the knowing ones that NIr Smith had an old score to settle. It will be remem- bered that two years ago w. T. Smith was beaten for the territorial council by one James Bark, a popular TepUbli- can. MT. Smith has always attributed his defeat to Frank Cox, d smooth hombre in matters political from whom he imagines that MT. Osborn, Vernon Clark and numerous others of the JacksOnian wing of the democracy take their orders. As the spokesman for the Kibbey wing of yesterdays convention it therefore became the plain duty of MT. Smith to swallow the JacksOniau faction of the county democracy, and he did it.
 The endorsement of the territorial administration was flattering and proper, and entirely in line with the acknowledgment that republican papers have made of the services of Mark Smith, whenever he has done anything that could be acknowledged, or dem Onstrated. But a political move it is hard to harmOnize the endorsement of the administration with the demo- cratic stand of two years ago when the battle cry was the eXtirpation of the very agency through which Governor Kibbey has achieved his reforms. This is not a criticism of the endorsement, but a CT icism of the democratic atti. tude of two years ago.
 Getting back more closely to the sub- ject in hand, the Smith faction of the convention had it's forces we'll organ ized. It did not propose to lose any of the fruits of its victory It will be ob-

served that few representatives of the Jacksonian wing of the party are found in the list of delegates. After the se- lection of delegates had been made in- structions were given that any dele gate who could not attend the Bisbec convention. instead of turning his proxy over to whoever might ask for it. should deposit it with the chairman and secretary of the county central committee. N. A. Sanders and d. II. Langston, respectively. As these men are in harmony with the Smith organi- zation it is apparent that the fewer delegates attending the Bisbee conven" tion. the greater will be the strength of those in power.
 The convention was presided over by J. D. LOper of Mesa City. as chairman. with J. H. Langston as secretary. The committee appointed to select the Bis. bee delegates for ratification by the convention, was N. A. Sanders. Geo. w. StOlIoe, Geo. Brewster John Ambrose, and J. H. Steward. The delegates ses Iected were:
 Phoenix: George Purdy BuHard, George Lutgerding. H. A. Hughes, Theo. Haifner. c. F. Brewster. M. A. Stanford, Selim Nicholson. J. II. Lang- stOn, Hans Herlick A. H. Davidson, k. l.. Shaw, Sam F. Webb, Eugene B. O'Neill, P. c. de Lama, Teodore OIea, Henry Ware and Frank Luke.

 Following are the resolutions in full:
 Resolved, That we, the democrats of Maricopa county, in convention as~ sembled, congratulate our fellow citi- zens, the people oi the territory. upon the fact that coming events foreshadow the triumphant election of a democratic president in 1908:
 That under the leadership of the greatest living American, our beloved fellow democrat, William Jennings Bryan democratic thought has become the dominant force in the government of our country, and we hail him as the next president of the United States;
 That it is amusing and instructive to observe a republican administration pointing with pride to democratic de- mands, that it has diluted into laws. and a republican president claiming the support of his countrymen on the ground of his weak and vaciuating ad. herence to democratic principles
 Resolved. That the republican na- tional administration. in it's pernicious efforts to force Arizona into a union with New Mexico, against practically the unanimous protest of her people. perpetrated the greatest political crime in the history of our government, and we cOngra atulate the people of this ter ritory that through the efforts of our distinguished delegate to congress, non.

September 6. and incidentally for the squaring of private accounts among the leaders. proved to be all that was expected of it, perhaps a little more than was expected in some quar- Jers. w. T. Smith, chairman of the committee on resolutions, had the sat is faction of assimilating Neri Osborn after the benevolent manner employed in the Philippines. The convention then endorsed the republican territorial ad- ministration in so far as any good act of that administra tion could be en- dOrsed by a party pledged to stand on the democratic platform Of two years ago, and considerably further than the acts of the administration and the two- year-old platform can well be harmon ized, which means. of course, that the platform is valuable principally for the dignity of it's age. The convention also selected the delegates after an all-day session and instructed them to make a territorial platform against joint state hood. as vigorously as they knew how to draw it. They were also instructed to nominate Mark Smith, line of ac- ton that created no surprise. as MT. Smith is by no means a dark horse iH the field.
 There was only one embarrassing oversight in the days proceedings and that was in the selection or the dele 'gates to Bisbee. Charlie Slankard had been so busy gathering up Walker proxies in the Third ward for use at
