 She reserves Sunday for calls of pleasure, rather than ceremony. The business woman invited to nner can not always pay her din- her call on her hostess within the prescribed time. She therefore sends note of thanks within couple of days after the dinner.
 Notes are frequently substituted by the woman for personal calls and it is necessary for her to have her dainty stationery free from the slightest trace of suggestion of her profession
 Great punctuallity in the matter of her notes of appreciation excuses the business woman from calls and visits that she has not the time to attend to.
 She can keep in touch with her world through these graceful missives and at the same time courteously fur rish excuses for any seeming delin. quency.
 There are many occasions when the business woman can only send cards instead of leaving them in per son.

 The coat and skirt fashion in velvet is one that maintains in spite of the innovations that have crept into out door dress in other materials. In the Parisian model of the picture the lit tie coat is fashioned after the chasu- ble order, and With a very deep girdlo that clinss closely to the figure. The front is relieved with vest of white cloth exegisitely embroidered in pas tel eels=inas; and this same touch also ofeaors as cuffs upon thet dou- ble-pUf= I sleeves.

 Princesse Dinner Gown.
 While the regulation frincesse cut is followed in this gown of double chiffon or chiffon cloth as it is per haps moro often called, the applica- ton of lace is so managed that a bolerc effect is produced. The yoke of lace over the shoulders is backed Jen f.,i c1, do 1f Ni,,1- oI1i ion, inc only touch of color in the gowH. Lenethwise tucllines are clev- erly managed, so that they make for the reGuisitc close fit at the waistlina, : the lace being prettily inset, so that it ] falls loosely over the tucks. The chif- ion is carried down to the knee, | where full f0unce is introduced, | lace being deftly used to conceal the 1 joining and add at the same time to 1 the light and rich effect Little bouil- lcnne bands of the chiffon are used 1 to cover the seams. and deep tucks | serve to weight the fimsy material | at the hem. The sleeve is quite an elaborate creation, extending in se- ries of puffs and ruffles from the i shoulder to well below the bend of the elbow. The fastening, as is usual in this mode, is in the back.
 A Novel Fastening for Underwear
 With the closely fitting gowns that Dame Fashion dictates for the newer 1 mode the question of underwear and | it's fastening becomes of quite some importance.

The fasten-across-the-che kind is what the best dressmakers are advocating, and the corsetieres, too, are fully aware of the advantages of this mode. For the woman who wears it, it speaks for itself

Retirement Of s. A. Moore from I'M

for Anybody Who Cares to Enter
A. G.. cambridge Makes Strong Fight
for Place He Filled for Many Years.

Everything points to an interesting
contest in the Painters union for the
office Of business agent for the en-
suing year. S. A. Moore, who has held
the position for the last year, has an
nounced that he will not be candi-
date, but there is no dearth of as
pirants to fill his shoes. There are four
men in the field, and this number may
be increased before the nominations
day evening.
Those who have announced their can
didacy are A. G. cambridge, A. L.
Baker, Lee Lockerby and G. D. New
ton. All of them have been promi-
nently identified with the union for
many years and are we'll known in
labor circles, and all are well qualified
for the place.
Mr.. cambridge held the place for
about SIX years, up to year ago, when
he was succeeded by Mr.. Moore. He
has been a member Of the union since
its organization, and has been honored
in many ways, having represented the
local at number of conventions Of
the international body and in local
central bodies He has also been promi-
nent in the Structural Building Trades
alliance, of which he was one Of the
founders, and is man of wide and
varied experience in abor matters.
A. L. Baker is one Of the oldtimers
In the union. He is a delegate to the
Trades assembly, in which capacity he
has served for many years, and repre-
sents his union in the Building Trades
council. Mr.. Baker was appointed spe-
cial organizer for the State Federation
of Labor last year, and did some Of
the best work ever accomplished. He
has been a prominent figure for years
in the conventions of the state fedora
ton, in which body he has held i'm
portant Offices
Lee Lockerby is recording secretary
of No. 1856. He is conducting an &C
tive campaign. Mr. Lockerby has held
number Of Offices in the union.
C. D. Newton is one of the oldest
members of the Painters union. He is
treasurer of the organization and has
been an active and consistent worker
for the cause of labor.
There has never been an election for
business agent of the Painters union
In which such general interest has
been manifested as in the present con-
test. 1t is predicted that the vote of
the full membership will be cast.
There is some speculation as to what
Mr.. Moore intends to do. He has not
told anyone, but there is rumor that
he will be identified with one of the
large painting firms in this city. He
has made good in the office of bust
ness agent, and in his retirement the
