full name of "Violine Raye." 1t is coarse, trans.

TAM myrtle green, light chocolate, black and

Mohairs are shown in their new dress. A fa-
vorite pattern is cluster stripe of lighter tone

dominating.
Another stunning design in mohair is Pekin
satin stripe half an inch wide that is shown in

which are warm and rich and do not take the
color from the face they were wont to do in ,
other seasons. Both the pale pastel shades In |
tans and grays are combined in stripes with good
effect. As gray has been worn much during
the past two years, tan will doubtless prove a
welcome departure. In black and white some
fetching designs are shown in stripe effects.
White, oyster white, and ivory oolored back
grounds prevail, which impart most attractive
springlike beauty to such costumes. In many
cases gray, two shades will be used on an oyster
ground and brown and tan on an ivory.
PERFORMANCE OF PEKN STRIPES
The Pekin stripe, not content to glorify the
handsomest of winter velvets and cloths. has now
descended to spring and summer fabrics Par
ticuarly noticeable is this effective stripe on the
new suitings, which are lighter in weight and
more desirable than ever before. These stripes
show up especially in the new lines of spring
suitings, which soft and fine as looms we'll
can make them, Those in serge weaves are par
ticularly attractive. A desirable assortment Is

For this welcome short, stout
women should give thanks. Stripes
temove that rotundity of figure, giving the wear

cases where the stripes vertically, and not
on the bias, as they will be exploited in meas

that very dashing effect is obtained in four

TANs, GRAYS AND BLACK AND WHITE
EFFECTS.
Weaves in all manner of fabrics have never
been more springlike in texture and coloring
than displayed at this time
Some of the most exclusive designs were pur-
chased in mid-January and in some cases they
cannot be duplicated positively, while the orders
and delivery uncertain. But you cannot per,
suade some women to buy out of season. They
simply wont.
1t is the consensus of opinion among the buy
ers for the best shops in town, that grays in very
light and London smoke shades, pastel and rich
tans running to light chocolates and black and
white effects will largely prevail as the fashion
able spring colors.

FOR A TWO CENT RATE.
Missouri Lower House Likely
Pass the Railroad Fare Bill.

Missouri Lower House Likely to
Pass the Railroad Fare Bill.
Jefferson City, Mo-, Jan. 25.-Two
cents a mile for railroad riding in
Missouri: a cent saved for every
mile ridden by every passenger ON n
main line.
BY what appears to be the best
authority at the state capitol this
new rate seems to be assured. This
authority, one of the best on railroad
legislation in Missouri. practically
admits this evening that at the hear
ing Wednesday night the railroads
did not make their points and that
the measure will so through the
house almost without opposition and
pass the senate with a safe margin.
Representative Simmons of Shell.
by county, who introduced the origi-
nal house bill, which appears to be
the basis for several measures Gov
ering the same general points, says
that there is no doubt that within
four months the people of this state
will be saving one-third of their
railroad fares.
The governor urged the law in his
message and he is now supporting 1t
with all ardor in his relations with
the law making bodies.
1t is the judgment of unembarras-
sed critics here that the bill Will
have twenty-one votes in the senate
and practically unanimous support
in the house.
