Composer Over Fond Of Coffee.

The Italian composer Donizetti was
accustomed to immure himself in a

Just beginning to appreciate the vast
Importance of the negligee. 1t takes
the place of the house dress on many
occasions, and absolutely usurps the
privileges of the breakfast robe and
the lounging gown. If properly made
it will do for almost every occasion
until the dinner hour.
The tea gown is another garment
which must not be forgotten in the list
of house dresses. But it has rather
outgrown it's first meaning and has be-
come SO very elaborate that it can be
worn for late afternoon. A woman

ers in the daytime up to the dinner
hour, such is the elegance of the new
tea gown.
1t is no unusual thing to see the
lawn and muslin negligees worn over
slips of taffeta, of satin and even of
chiffon velvet, in which case the lin
ing is really finer than the gown.
One of the beautiful tea gowns of
the season was made of very fine or
candle in tone of delicate pink. The
organdie was trimmed with lace which
was very creamy in tone. This was
worn over princess slip of chiffon
velvet, which was in shade of palest

was exceedingly good and, by electric
light, it takes on a certain simmer

it's name suggests. 1t is made of a
variety of materials-fgured muslin,
embroidered muslin, lace-trimmed

bows of ribbon. Then there is long
loose jacket of the same material,
which is apparently slipped on over
lace or embroidered blouse. In reality
1t is a front with sleeves to match,
made of lace or embroidery to match
the flounces on the skirt.
The morning gown shown in our il
lustration is of blue fancy French fan

required: yards flannel, ~ yard

To revert to the elaborate tea gown
again, one striking fad this year in
connection Herewith is the use of ar
tlficial flowers in trimming, and the
most elaborate tea gowns show this
fashion either in one large flower or
little garlands of flowers made of chif-
fen or silk or of the cloth of gold or
silver. AS may easily be imagined
these trimmings of flowers are not in

Fewer Voters Left Washington This

at oyster Bay - Fair Weather In
the East.

Washington, Nov. 6.-The campaign
IN AZ states for the election of the
Goth congress passed into history last
night. Besides the congressional bal.
loting, 23 states elect governors, Ari'
zona and New Mexico will accept or
reject a jointure in statehood, Okla
homa and the Indian Territory will
adopt a state constitution, and 20
states will choose legislatures which
in turn will elect United States sena-
tors.
The United States weather bureau
predicted fair weather for election
day throughout the East Middle
West and South, with moderate tenn
perature; rain in Minnesota and the
Dakotas, and cold and snow in Wyom-
ing, Montana and the interior of
Washington and Oregon.
President Roosevelt, who yearly sets
the example of good citizenship by
going from Washington to oyster Bay
to cast his vote, left the White House
on this pilgrimage last midnight. He
will return today and arrangements
have been made as usual to keep him
posted at the White House of the elec-
tion returns.
The district in which the president
votes nominally is Democratic.
Most of the cabinet officers have
done strenuous work and several OF
them will find it convenient to be at
their homes to vote today. From all
reports, however, fewer voters have
gone home from Washington this year
to vote than in any congressional
year for a decade. This Is owing
largely to the fact that free transpor-
tation has been cut off and that elec-
tion rates on the railroads are higher
than they have been before.
The single exception to this rule is
sidering the expense a remarkably
large number of Empire State voters
resident in Washington went home to
vote.

Twelve Tickets In the Field.

Philadelphia, Nov. 6.-The vigorous
campaign which has been waged
throughout Pennsylvania and the COM
plex character of the several tickets
which are in the field have created
more than ordinary interest in the is
sues, with the result that the voting
in this city is proceeding with vigor.
Citizens have been lined up to the
polls almost continuously and the
number of votes cast at this time will
greatly exceed the record of previous
off years. Notwithstanding the ex'
citement no disturbances of import
ance have been reported. Reports re-
ceived from throughout the state
would indicate great interest in the
campaign and a heavy vote.
Pittsburg, Nov. 6.-The war of bal.
lots is progressing vigorously and full
registration is being polled. Interest
is intense but citizens are exercising
their right of franchise in a proper
manner and no disorders of serious
character are reported.
