The New Primary Law.

After considerable discussion and
good deal more of "cussing," the legis-
lature at the special session passed the
primary bill introduced by the "box-
ers," and Gov. Warner promptly ac-
cepted the same as being the best bill
obtainable at this time The law does
away with the June primary and makes
primary day for the nomination of gov
ernor, lieutenant-governor, congress
men, legislative and county officers on
the first Tuesday in September. This
one change alone is worth several times
the cost of the special session, leaving
out entirely the fact that the voters
will take much greater interest in
primary day if not called upon so often
to go to the polls. The main features
of the law are as follows:
Unlike all previous primary bills,
the new bill is not subdivided into
chapters, but only into sections.
Scope-Governor, acknowledgement
or, United States senator's, are to be
nominated by direct vote. also congress
men, legislators or county officers in
districts which have adopted law of
1905 or this new law.
Submission of direct nomination
proposition may be made in cities on
the first Monday in April of any year,
in other political districts in the year
preceding November elections.
Dates-General primary day, first
Tuesday in September, except in cities
electing officers at other times than
November elections in which cities
primaries will be held the second Tues
day before such election. Enrollmen,
days for party voters shall be Saturday
preceding and the first Monday in April
Saturday preceding September primary
the September primary day, and reg
istraion days provided in city charters
Enrolled voters may change party
affiliation on enrolment or primary
day on taking oath.

Hat Hilaritv
A THOUGH hat are growing less

A LTHOUGI hat are growing less
1 \ be.l-shaped, they are much
more monumental than ever, trim
mings are growing more lavish, and
the increasing size demands quanti-
ties of false hair or "postiche." as it
is called in Paris.
Some of the prettiest hats are
bordered with a two-inch line of
some contrasting color around the
edge of the brim, and are lined with
silk or satin.
"Multifles," kind of featherless
or wiry aigrette, is being extensive
~ used on large hats, and is ex-
tremely expensive.
Hats with wings as big as those
OF barn-yard fowls, that wave and
Hap In the wild. are another eccen-
tricity of the present day.
Hats trimmed with large cr"..-d
rosettes of different colored chiffon,
silk velvet or crepe are very pretty,
while the new hats of soft colors,
pale blue, pink, yellow or white.
trimmed with embroidery and "cou-
teaux," are being worn to a very
great extent at the seaside, where
silk muslin wells are in evidence.

Sewing Reminders

= HAI T.; set of the shoulder de-
L ponds on how the seams are put
together.
The back portion of the lining
should be held toward you, casing
it mere trihe on the front as you
sew.
Skirts should be kept on the sew
ing table as much as possible, and
not handled any more than is abso-
lusely necessary.
The pleats in skirts must be care
fully basted so that they will not
pull out of place.
First of all, mark with tailor's
Chalk, or take long basting thread,
while the pattern is still on the ma
tcrial, and barely catch the material
through the perforations, taking
tiny stitches in the material and
long ones over the pattern.
When all pleats are marked the
threads should be clipped, the pat
tern removed, and there is distinct
line marking the pleats accurately.
Remember, too, that a pleat that
rs to be stitched only half way down
must be basted the entire length so
No. = may be pressed properly.

it is no longer correct to have these
in the center of the sheet; the ini-
tials should be in the left-hand cor
ner, the address in the right. The
new letter paper shows us a very
narrow edge of the same color in a
deeper shade. Light cadet blue, bor-
dered darker, is very effective let
ter paper.
White envelopes lined with old
rose color are particularly dainty,
as the effect of a seashell is given.
Square envelopes are but little used
now. The preferred sizes in note
paper are six by six inches, six and
a half by five inches, and six by
four and a half inches, all folding
once to fit into the envelope.
Toile de Jay has become i'm
mensely popular once more. 1t is
used principally for waistcoats, and
it is attractively quaint and suited
to the somewhat oldfashioned
styles now favored, for the kimono
style has practically gone out, and
it is superseded by lines reminiscent
of shawls, tunics, redingotes and
generally seventeenth and eight
zenith century coats. There are no
signs of defining the waist, and
fashion still prefers it to be OWNED
rather than outlined.
Khaki or suede colored linen cos
tunes are rife, with collars and
cuffs of some contrasting color,
striped black and white pekin taft
fetas or soft black liberty satin be-
ing first favorites, and the neat lit
tie black or white cravat. Some of
the neckties sported are green.
The merely fower-adorned hat is
becoming hackneyed, but the idea is
still being carried out by the MILL
ners. as it has met with SO much ia

vor. The simple field blossoms and
grasses look quite exquisite in con-
junction with new felt hats,
of rich butter color. White hats
are still seen with the trimming of
pure white ROSTERS feathers. Vel
vet ribbon is making its appearance
as hat trimming, and it is very
successful when mingled with IL
fusion me-. Brims are lined with
colored or black silk, or else a lit
tie bias covers the edge.
Hats with wreaths of white or
shaded purple and mauve velvet and
tatfeta convolvuli are much to the
fore, while hal loosely draped with
chiffon or painted gauze Scarfs are
very prominent.
Smoke-graJ aud lead color are
much favored for crepe de chine
and chiffon gowns to be worn in
the afternoon at Trouville and Din
ard, while different tones of yellow.
such as sulphur and ripe corn, are
also much approved of. Colors are
becoming daily more subtle and diff
fcult to describe.
The couturiers all agree in saying
that Shantung silk will continue to
enjoy great vogue, especially in
Beauvais blue, terracotta, auber-
CINE, old rose and khaki tints.
The color that is considered the
most novel this season is undoubt-
eddy the "vert de gris," which had
such success at the last Auteuil race
meetings. 1t is greatly seen in tus-
sor gowns, and some of these "rust"
colored costumes have the trim
mings upon the short coat i'll velvet
Of the same hue, shot with bronze,
while the hem at the bottom of the
skirt is of velvet also.

Flannel Hats for the
Tiny Tots

OWING to the popularity of
~ white flannel suits for children
the white flannel hat has come as
logical sequence.
1t is mac of pressed flannel and
GENES in cream only.
The form is sailor. 1t is bound
with ribbon similar to that put on

bow tie that will not wilt in the
weather.
A walking suit of red linen is
pronounced much smarter than one
of white. provided it is worn by the
person to WHOM the color is becom-
ing: Made with a natty little bolero
and worn over an ivory lace blouse
it is a decidedly stunning costume.
This particular shade is almost
"brick," and is very distinctive
along a host of white lingerie
frocks.
1t seems impossible to be loud at
the rate in which checks and plaids
are daily increasing in this quality.
Things that seemed impossible
year ago are counted as the ex-
treme of quiet dressing today.
Present favorites in belt buckles
are of jet and tortoise shell. Many
designs are plain and others figures,
while some have jewels of different
hues inserted. The popular shapes
are still round, square and oblong.
A modish belt is Of white harness
leather in natural color, which is
made Of narrow strips stitched to-
gether so as t. perfectly fit the fig
ure.
The two-toned effects shown
mostly in the pekin stripe and OBJ
long style, promise to increase in
popularity as the season advances.
The oblong check is generally three
quarters of al inch long, is a COM
bination of three colors, and is ex-
tremely attractive, as it is ar
tistically carried out so that the eff
feet is of subdued coloring.

Foundations of Change
able Silk

SOME of the prettiest frocks of
- transparent materials are worn
over foundations of changeable
silks.
One for evening wear combined
two colors in the Innings.
A striking gown of white net was
shown made over white silk, with
deep ruffle of pink silk at the foot.
The upper line of the ruffle CORE
sponded with the line of filet inser-
ton incrusted with lace motifs on
the overGress, so that there was no
appreciable breaking between the
two colors.
The effect was charming.

THE fancy beltings were never
prettier. They look like
i elastic, but have a slight
cord in them, just enough
to keep them trig and fit the waist
line closely. They are shown in all
colors, or white with colored figures,
but the daintiest is all white with
raised silk figures. The buckles that
are worn are merely of frame work,
and the betting is fastened to q
slide and catch and run through the
buckle itself.
Some very pretty jacket effects
are made of embroidery and allover
lace with trimmings of braid, but
tons, medallions and many other
things, which are worn over differ
ent blouses. These garniturcS fresh
en- a separate blouse so that it ap-
pears like a new one.
The graceful mantilla- shaped
wraps are being worn. If one is the
lucky possessor of q family heir
loom in black lace shawl, this may
be easily draped into one of these
fashionable wraps. 1t will not have
to be cut, only gathered ON the
shoulders and at the back of the
neck, and this makes it hang in
points in the back and front.
Much attention is being paid to
rainy day outfit. Coats, especially,
can be made very attractive when
trimmed with buttons, pipings, col
lar, lapels and pockets. The person
who cho> -es brown for such an out
fit may have shoes, rubbers and
cloth uppers, which protect her
ankles from the rain, umbrella,
wrist bag and gloves all to match.
Her hat should be of rough brown
straw, trimmed with quilts, and her
collar, a r!iff linen one with laun-
dry finish, and heavy brown silk

4 y couraging than the tailored
In fact, in suits of all kinds sim
piIcity is the keynote. In cut, IN
color, in trimmings, if there hap
pen to be any, it is the dominant
tone Of the smart suit.
For walking suits nothing is so
good as dark blue serge with Killed
skirt and slightly fitted cutaway
jacket.
1t should be a rather rough serge,
not too heavy in weight, on account
of the kits
Black, too. is greatly used for
such suits. After its long absence
il seems astonishingly smart.
Variety of It aterial is al impor-
tant point this autumn. There was
lever less cause for complaint in
this line. Rough materials in al
most invisible stripes and checks
Iival in popularity the smoother ma
tclials The rough materials show
mixtures of brown with black and
green. and frequently a thread of
purple.
Broadcloths are. of course, used
as much as yer for the trimmed or
Haht-colored suit, and are usually
supplemented by waistcoat of
handsome silk brocade.
The special novelty of the season
Is. however, the combination of
solid color cloth coat with skirt of
striped or checked material, of
somewhat tighter effect IA the
coat - but, above all things, not
loud.
These suits make vry pretty
change if they are not spoiled be-
fore the season opens by the chance
that they offer to those checker
board plaids and awning stripes
with which we have been surfeited
during the last SUMMER.
Dark blue or black coats with
Scotch plaids look very stunning.
One model shown was very dark
gray coat with a skirt of almost in
visible check i pale grays.
The waistcoat was in old blue of
6 decidedly grayish tint. This mixed
arrangement. so far, is only seen in
walking suits.
Long skirt suits have fancy coats
OF jaunty hip jackets. three-quarters
or still longer coats that almost
reach to the edge of the skirt.
Braiding of all kinds, more espe-
cially that suggesting the military,
is very popular.
Don't. however. make the mistake
OF confounding this with the fat
braid edge-that passed with the
summer.
The little braided hip jackets are
very new and re appropriate with
either long or short skirts.
For a young girl there can be no
pretticr long skirt costume than a
simple little princess model, whose
only novelty lies in its material, a
curious gray brown velveteen.
The collar and cuffs of the bolero
are of 'mode" broadcloth. Short
sleeves give the picturesque touch.
Long sleeves are used in all tailor
models.
A peculiar length is seen in many
trimmed coats, that shows just
about an inch or so of the wrist,
where the opening is very broad.

Suggestions
for Stout
Women

Iue question Oh corset. l. ne
woman who is stout makes
the greatest mistake when
she attempts economy in this par
ticular. A poor corset is a most
expensive luxury. 1t not only spoils
the appearance of the stout woman,
but it makes the fitting of her
clothes a serious problem.
The stout woman can make no
greater mistake than to try and de-
ceive herself by wearing a close,
tight-ftting corset in hopes that it
will make her appear slender. The
effect is distinctly the contrary. A
well-made, comfortable corset, fitted
and especially adapted to her per-
sonal requirements, will give lines
to her figure that will make her APP
pear much more slender.
The stout woman should avoid
plain, tight-ftting blouses. They
serve to emphasize her stoutness.
The round and belted waists are the
most trying ones she can wear.
In wearing shirtwaists, the small
shoulder yoke in front, which is
fashionable this season, is one of
the best adaptations, las itmakes the
shirtwaist fit far better across the
shoulders, and gives an opportunity
for some fulness in the front
breadths across the bust, where it is
needed, and where any tightness or
strain is so ugly.
The back yoke for the stout wom-
an is a serious mistake. 1t has a
tendency to shorten the waist line.
and adds breadth across the shout
ders. A few pleats in the center
from the collar to the belt line is
the best way of finishing the back.
This gives long, straight lines as
we'll as fatness.
A waist with round yoke is apt
to be unbecoming to the stout wom-
an. Her care must be, as far as
possible, to acquire straight lines.
and to simplify by divers ways any
style of trimming that threatens to
make her appear short-waisted.
All coats and jackets for the stout
woman should end below the waist
line. The three-quarter coat Is not
to be advised, as it detracts from
her apparent height; consequently
it should not be worn by the short,
stout woman.
The long, half-ftting coat is ex-
cellent, and lends grace to the figure.
The jacket with straight fronts, end
ing several inches below the waist
line, and made either in double
breasted style or with fly front, is
one OF the best models for the stout
woman to follow
The stout woman should beware
of overturned skirts and not at
tempt any elaborate styles in that
direction. The skirt trimmed in
panel fashion is becoming. The
panels may be of contrasting ma
terial, or the panel effect .,,ov be
simulated by an arrangement of
stitched bands of silk or braid.
