FASHION NOTES FROM. NEW YORK.

New York, Feb. II. The day of
the lingerie blouse is evidently
not yet past, and the makes of
such blouses are counting conf
dentlYssupOn a coming season as
successful as that of last summer.
Already large importations of
French lingerie blouses have been
brought over for the use of the
southwark bound crowd and Incl
dentally for that very large con-
tingent who wear the fine lingerie
bIouses as much in winter as in
summer.
Theses lew models so far show
but little departure from accepted
lines, simple shapes, hand en-
z bIoidery. inset yalencienes,
cIuny or crochet, tiny hand tuckS
are combined in myried ways and
only in the embroidery designs is
sne likely to dnd actual novelty.
Later on We may have radical
blouse changes, but it is not like,
g ". for the scope of these gar.
ments is Of necessity, limited and
p it is only in detail that. the pos.
slbilities o. variety lie.
One little hint repeated fire.

models, may or may not indicate
= certain veering of favor. The
sleeve reaching just below thu
elbow is used for the majority Of
the dressy lingerie models; bu
ihere are undeniably more Ions
sleeves among the recent importa
lions that were to be founC
among models of the same class
last season.
The long sleeve is most otter

batistes and handkerchief linens

impossible to buy a long sleevet

POLITICS and POLITICIANS

Mayer Frank Mott, of Oakland,
California, has become one of the
most talked about men in the West
since he refused a position with a
big corporation at $4,000 a year
that he might remain mayor of his
city at $500.
1t is the boast OF United States
Senator ]. C.. S. Blackburn, Of
Kentucky, that he never in his life
wrote speech, an article or an
editorial.
Railroad legislation is occupying
the most conspicuous place in the
programme Of the present session Of
the Oregon legislature. 1t seems to
be the opinion of majority Of the
members that some railroad reforms
Of a more or less radical nature are
needed.
Timothy D. Sullivan, Big Tim Of
the Bowery district of New York
who recently resigned his seat in
Congress, will soon return to his old
place in the New York state senate.
1t is reported that his cousin, Chris.
TOPPER d. Sullivan. will resign his
place as representative of the
Thirteenth district and that bis place
will be taken by Big Tim.

Easily Done,

W. udhC lfCclNcu q COiHuNlCd-
ton from an unknown friend.
She failed to sign her name or to
intimate who she is. Asa rule
we pay no attention to unigned
communications.
She asks for an explanation.
The marshal draws a salary. He
gets a. fair salary, and we believe
firmly that he earns it, We know
full well that he would rather lay
his star away and discontinue the
salary, then to wear and draw tn e
salary. The reason he does the
latter is that he agreed to stay
during the present year. He has
nothing to do with the street
work.
As to the street commissioner.
His name is Price. Elihu Price.
He gets paid for the time he puts
ia. As a rule he makes a pretty
good out at keeping the crossings
clean. 1t is not the business of
the property owner. The street
commissioner works under the
direction of the improvement
committee, the chairman Of
which is W. +. Honnen, and from
our connection with him while
acting as clerk. he comes about as
near doing the right thing as any
chairman OF any improve ment
comittee.
We might further state that We
are under DO obligations to de-
fend this city administration or
any member of it. We have no
ak to grind in city politics, hence
are not pandering to them in the
least. Neither are we anxious to
get into any scrap over the city
affairs, but we do believe in fair
play. Sometimes our crossings
are not cleaned as promptly in
bad weather as they might be. but
on the whole we think the city's
affairs are being run pretty nicely.
The communication follows.
Great Bend, Kan.
W. p. FEEDER, Editor.
Daily Rustler.
Dear SIR
/ would like to inquiry through
your columns as to WHO'S respon-
sible for the muddy..crossings es-
pecislly those in the business
part of town.
Is it the duty Of the property
owners or the duty of the city
officials to keep crossings clean J
Upon inquiring | find that the
City Marshall is paid by the
month. and the city also has a
street commissioner but | unable
to find out what thew have to do
to earn their money.
For information of the public
and the laIies who..hsve to wade
through the mud l wish you
would explain these matters then
we will know who TO approach re-
garding these matter.
Sincerely Yours,

taper toward the waist. The pat
tern provides for a high band
turn-down collar, but the waist is
also flushed with a Deckband, 50
that it may be worn with a stiff
linen collar if preferred. The re
guIar shirt waist sleeve is useo,
finished with a straight cuff. The
fastening Of the waist is in the
front through the center box
plat. The stitched plaitS and the
broad shoulder line give the shirt
waist an air OF newnesS and smart
ness. Through this spring the
lingerie waist will be more in
vogue than ever. yet the tailor
made linen waist will also be
much in demand.
The tennis weist, So called of
last summer, made of linen with
short sleeves and low rolling col
lar is appearing in slightly mOdi
fed form. 1t is still of linen and
1.-THE rolling collar is still as slight
ly low in front, showing the
throat; but it is cut higher in the
back and sides and is more becOm-
ing to the verge throat than last
seasons model. Pretty blOuseS
of this type in heavy W hite linen
have collar pocket and cuffs Dor
dered by an inch band of soft blue
or pink 1or green linen, and a
scarf of the same colored linen is
knotted under the collar.
There are many varieties of
jaunty little slip ties offered for
wear with embroidered collars,
but the smartest thing to use with
such a collar is some form of lin
gerie tie or bow. These when
fine enough to be desirable, are
too expensive to become common
and coarse limitations of them are
hoDelessiy ugly and tawdry. II
one cannot afford q really dainty
lingerie tie or bow or rabat it i:
far better to hold to silk tie.
A short strip of fine lingerie
stuff. widening toward the ends is
one of the most popular arrange,
ments for wear with the linen col
lar. It is doubled so that one
end falls just below the other, anC
the folded middle is slipped up
under the collar, hiding the two
collar buttons and either button
ing invisibly to the. upper collar
button or held in place by a piI
which is often associated with tht
empbroidered linen collar.
Plated rabsts of fine lingerie
and lace and hand embroidery are
shown in many forms. little
plated bows of lingerie and lace
with or without rabat ends below

linen with embroidered ends arr
brought around under the collar
and tied in butterfly bows. Thest

to be ignored since all of these
charming imported cravat ar

vice out of them.

art until a few months ago. and
