Tucked Blouse or Shirt Waist.

A0ShCO DAUuSC OF OAaIFC W61SEs \
Here is one of the very latest de-.
velopments of the simple shirt waist
that Is dainty and charming and all
together to be desired. In the illus
tration it is made of handkerchief
linen and is trimmed with little frills
of the same while the sleeves extend
to the wrists, but elbow sleeves can
be used if preferred and almost every
material that Is used for shirt waists
is appropriate for this one, madras,
the soft finished cotton rep and the
like for the heavier ones, lawn,
either linen or cotton, for those of
lighter weight, while for the nom
washable sort taffeta and light weight
flannel are admirable so treated.
Again, there are some new washable
messalines this season THAI are much
to be commended for travel and oc-
casions of the sort and which make
up charmingly after this design. The
long sleeves make special feature
and are tucked to give the effect
of long deep cuffs and to fit the arms
rather snugly below the elbows, corr
sequently being exceptionally becom-
ing and graceful. With the waist
can be worn any separate collar that
may be liked.
The waist consists of the fronts
and back. The tucks are laid in most
becoming lines and there is a regu-
Jation box pleat at the front edge.
The neck is finished with neck
tached. The sleeves are of fashion
able fulness and when made long are
tucked below the elbows and when
short are simply gathered at their
lower edges, but In both cases are
finished with pretty Follower faring
cuffs.

Novelties in sunshades.

Sunshades of taffeta in every con-
ceivable shade are to be had this
season. The frames of the new para
soils are much more bowed than
heretofore. Some of the prettiest
styles shown are deeply scalloped in
q fanciful manner, the edge being
finished with bands of taffeta. In
many instances the enameled handle
is tinted just little to suggest the
color of the silk of the shade itself.

holding then, as it reiterateS now, that
very glad to have democratic votes a
the polls, they were unwilling to con-
cede that the party had any rights TO
representation before the people.
The democratic party has not gone
out of existence in municipal politics
as consequence of last nights con-
vention action. AS a matter of fact
it never was better or stronger in its
organization which will be on duty not
only in the pending aldermanic cam
pagn, but a year hence to call the
party together again. Than Joseph
Grotegut, who was unanimously elect
ed chairman of the city-township com
mittee last night. succeeding George
H. Wright, who has served the party
well for two terms, and who declined
reelection. no more stalwart democrat
could be found. He is admirably
equipped for his duties, and the con
vention made no mistake in choosing
him in preference to anyone aspiring
for the office at this time.
AS the outcome of the convention
proceedings. the contest on the gen
eral city ticket is brought out square

his wife free to act for herself with

knew very we'll that Lamont was an
operator whose slightest word in refer

cred of great value. One day on enter

saw lying on a desk paper. He did

Mrs. Lamont was some fifteen years
younger than her husband. very pretty
and fond of admiration. She was also
fond of the stock market and would
occasionally have taken flier herself
had her husband permitted her. He
did not even inform her how he operat-
ed. Not having confidence either in
her ability to keep Il secret or TO make
money in stocks. he gave her no salts

that she was by nature Il bit of Il gam

on one occasion the clique with whom
her husband operated was outgener-

vantage of the former. and Lamont eS-

that she knew quite as much about
