ITO matter what the season, there Is
N usually one constant want in every
womans wardrobe, and that is the
need Of separate waists. One never seems
to get enough of them, and in spite of the
fact that an ample supply has been laid
in in the spring the autumn finds the same
need waiting to be supplied.
The lingerie waists provided in such
quantities early in the summer wear for
such short time before laundering re-
duces them to rags that the amount OF
money spent on them seems simply nom
inal. Silk waists, although they wear
much longer than lingerie waists, will
not admit Of cleaning If they are of the
fashionable taffeta. and so they, too, in
this immaculate age. must be early laid
aside Flannel waists. though smart for
sporting occasions and comfortable for
cool days. are much too warm for wear
on any but outing occasions and are not
considered smart for ordinary wear, so
that their useful qualities are not gener-
ally available.

Among the new cotton waists the use
of color is growing in favor. An escape
from the universal white waist is really

abroad in a way Of life which makes

each day.
The colored shirt waist affords an op-
portunity to secure some variety without
resorting to the remedy Of cloth waists.

bands request them to lay aside their ex-
tensve trousseaus and to provide them
selves instead with lingerie and gowns
more refined and ladylike.
- These trousseaus, however, had been
bought in America at enormous expense,
since they were imported and of the
latest cut and design. In France they
would have been bought and worn by
women OF uncertain reputation. while in
this country they were chosen by well
bred and society women.
1t is often in hats that this note of fast
ness is the most apparent. Indeed, too
careful a choice of headwear cannot be
made in the shops where French hats
hold sway. Either they are very dainty
and recherche or else there is hardly any
thing in the way of dress that can equa
their ugliness.

Of course, the ruffies will not be becoming

order some few new costumes If she cares
to establish that reputation for herself
or If she would live up to a fame that

purchase model gowns at this time of year
and thus be free from the trouble of Sc

From the Delineator.

FTOW Inc DeIIneatOr.
There are strong indications that the tailor
materials for fall wear will this season
make their appearance unusually early and
IN great variety. One of the most striking
features Is the temperance of the rough
finish In serges, boucles. etc
The range of colors comprises all the rich,
warm tones the dyers art can create. Cas-
tors and olives furnish the neutral tints,
and black promises to come into favor.
A special feature marked In the new fab
rics is the prevalence of stripes. These ap-
pear not only in the utilitarlan materials
but also in the dressier grades. They pre-
sent many wholly new effects, both in the
diversity the striplng offers and also in the

Then there are q number Of different gauze
textures that are printed like the chinons
that were 30 popular last winter-large
soft colored flowers scattered over white
ground. with a deep border Of black and
white stripe, forming a trellis for more
of the same flowers and this border being
used as a trimming on the waist and to
finish off the skirt. All Of these delicate
Transparent fabrics make charmingly pref
ty reception and luncheon costumes. but
are kept almost entirely for afternoon
wear. the chiffons and mousseines being
thought more appropriate for evening.

forced to turn either to silk or lingerie
for everyday uses There are many new
waists Of both kinds on the market fasci-
mating enough to loosen the purse strings
even of the woman who had determined
that she never would waste money on
separate waists again. The fine lingerie
waists are wbeing made with cluny
lace and delicate trimmings of colored
embroidery In a style that is most attrac-
tive.
Among the new silk waists for general
wear those in plaid silk are most popular.
The very large plaids are to be used for
these waists. and all colors and combina-
tions of colors are employed. the large
but soft and rather less clearly defined
plaids being more fashionable than those
Of sharper pattern. The waists are almost
all made with lace chemisettes, which are
unlined and make the garment much more
becoming. Many have three-quarter sleeves.
finished with unlined cuffs.
These are the more dressy waists. There
are also the stiff tailored plaid waists,
made with long sleeves and high collar,
and, Of course, without the chemisette.
These are trimmed with stitched bands Of
taffeta in plain colors. This trimming is
sometimes used in waistcoat effect as
well as on the neck and sleeves 1t is
also sometimes put on in the shape of a
gumpe or chemisette.
Besides the plain waists there are many
flowsred silk waists and others where a
floral design and Aplaid are intermingled.
The flowers are large and not right in
color, and are woven under the plaid in
very pleasing designs. The striped waists,
especially those in rather broad satin
stripes, black and white, black and gray,

Aldermen to Find Out About
Contracts Between City
AND OFFICIALS OF CITY
Resolution introduced by Alderman Ladd
to Get Opinion as to What officials
Are Included in the Meaning
Of the Charter.


The board Of aldermen met in adj
iourned meeting last evening and con-
firrned the nomination of Harry Gamble
to be regular patrolman by vote Of
4 to 2.
Alderman Campbell asked for infor-
nation as To minor city officials doing
business with the city. He said he would
like to have the matter brought up as
soon as possible so thorough under
standing in the matter could be had. He
said it was question in his@own mind
as to what the charter meant as to 'clsy
official" whether it applied to pound
keepers, baywards, city weigher, etc.
Alderman IIadd said he had already
notified the overscer of the poor that
he must cease purchasing supplies from
Ladd's grocery, but to bring the matter
to a head he offered the following mo
tion: THAT the president of the board
of aldermen appoint committee of
three to confer with the city attorney
relative to the question Of city officials
dealing with the city, and bring in
resolution defining the construction that
shall be placed on the clause in the city
charter bearing on this subject
The motion was carried and President
Thurston appointed Aldermen Campbell,
Ladd and McNulty.
