CITY COUNCIL.

What was expected to be very long
session of the city council last Tuesday
evening, turned out to be an exceed
iugly short one. There were too many
attractions in the city that evening. in
which the council men were interested.
AS no written report had been pre-
pared by the special committee appoint
ed to look into the matter of paving,
Alderman Ewing gave a verbal report.
Following this he moved that the sum
of $500 be appropriated to pay the ex-
penses of a committee in visiting other
cities to determine the cost OF different
kinds of paving When the matter
was put to vote it was lost by vote
of ii to g.
City Attorney NJ. b. Rosenberg pre-
sented a very lengthy report of his in
vestigations to determine whether or
not railroad companies can be COM
PEELED to pay part of the cost of lighting
their crossings. MIR. Rosenberg gave
it as his opinion that they can be COM
PEELED to pay, but recommended that
bill be drawn up, the terms of which will
make the matter more explicit, the
same to be presented to the legislature
There is little doubt about the passage
of such bill A resolution was passed
directing the city attorney to draft such
a bill.
After bills had been allowed an ad-
journment was taxed to Feb. IS.

The charms Of the tailor-made gown
are very apparent this season; it
seems to have reached an unwonted
height of perfection in color, in mate
rial, in combinations of braid and
rich furs, in fact everything which
goes to make up a most harmonious
whole. A great many of the newest
tailor-made models show very fasci-
mating little boleros which are half
capes! These garments invariably
have the sleeves cut in the same piece
as the coatee, thus avoiding a shoulder
seam. l do not pretend to understand
how this is managed, but the effect is
excellent, and it represents one of the
novelties of the season. Famous au-
surely drifting towards crinolines and
"leg % mutton sleeves" l do not
think We shall quickly see crinolines
In possession of the feminine affec-
lions but we already have with us
something extremely like the '1eg o
mutton sleeve"
Marked flatness on the shoulder and
considerable width above the elbow!
AT this particular moment sleeves of
this order are very quaint and artistic,
but l should not like to speak with
great certainty about the attractive
ness OF the sleeves of next spring.
Fashions must change; it does not
seem possible to leave well alone and
we cannot dare to expect that the
sleeves of next summer will rival
those of the season which has just
faded away.
In our illustration we show two Or
iginal designs in tailor-made gowns.
The one on the right is of silver grey
cloth, trimmed with embroidery. The
other costume is made of bottle green
cloth trimmed with velvet and cords to

Delmas to Defend Thaw.

New York.-The defense of Harry X
Thaw, under the direction of Attorney
Dolphin M. Delmas of California, began
to assume definite shape Wednesday.
When court adjourned testimony had
been placed before the Jury to the
effect that Stanford White had been
heard to make the threat to kill the
defendant, coupling the threat with
the display of a revolver; that Thaw's
actions following the killing of White
on the roof of Madison Square Garden
was considered by several eye wit
nesses to have been 'irrational;" that
an uncle of the defendant was insane;
that Evelyn Nesbit Thaw passed a
note to her husband during dinner at
the Cafe Martin the evening of the
tragedy; that District Attorney Jer-
ONE has this note and refused, on the
demand of the defense, to Introduce it
in evidence.

match. The bolero opens on shoulders
to show the velvet blouse.
White, so long the color monopolized
by the debutante, is no longer confined
to her, and this winter a number of
the smartest matrons have appeared
at the sides of their debutante daugh-
ters, at receptions or dances, in gowns
as white, and in some instances almost
as simple as that of the bud herself.
This is wise fashion, for there is no
color that makes a more charming
frame for the mature or even slightly
passe woman than white, when the
shade is properly chosen, for shades
in white should be as carefully con-
shades in other colors.
The woman with snow-white hair
and pink and white or white skin
may wear the pure, dazzling whites.
For the woman with dark hair, or
grey hair having a yellowish tinge,
for unfortunately there are such, and
sallow or creamy skin-the latter
as beautiful as the former is unattrac-
tive-should select the deep cream
Then there is silver grey hair
to be considered, and the greyish-
white skin, and for these the pearly
greyish shades or the pinkish whites
are suited, but never the creamy tones.
The pinkish whites also go admirably
with the pink-tinted skins, and are a
safe choice for many women, as in
America the pink and white tinted
complexion is most common. The
more beautiful creamy compilations,
and the also handsome dead-white
compilations, being comparatively
rare, perhaps because there are SO
very many more blue-eyed women
than those of darker hue, and these are
usually accompanied, or should be at
least, by pinkish-white skins.

POSTAL DEFICIT.
MOSTLY CAUSED BY COST OF
GOVERNMENT MAIL.
SAYS POSTAL COMMITTEE

Franklng Privilege Is Also Expensive
Better Pay for Clerks and Carriers
Would Reduce Cost of Railroad
Transportation.
Washington.-If the Postoffice De.
partment were given credit for all the
service it renders the government, the
deficit in postal receipts would be prac-
tically eliminated, according to the re-
port of the House committee on post
offices and post roads on the postoffice
appropriation bill, which was submit
ted to the House Wednesday.
The government departments and
other government officers in Washing
ton reported that for the six months
ending December 81, 1906, the postage
upon matter they sent through the
mails would have aggregated S22S5,-
AT. The committee estimates that it
is fair to assume that $5,00O,000 worth
of mail is carried for the government
annually without credit to the Postof-
flee Department.
The deficit for the fiscal year 1906
was s1O,516,996 and the committee es-
Inmates that this would be entirely
the amount of mail franked by federal
officials in all parts of the country, in
addition to the amount of free mail 60
ing out of Washington
The increases in compensation to the
employees of the service, including
clerks, carriers in city delivery offices,
railroad mail clerks and rural free de-
livery carriers, are practically as rec
commended by First Assistant Postmas-
ter General Hitchcock in his last an
nual report. The proposed Increases
will aggregate nearly $9,000,000 year.
The report does not attempt to esti-
mate actual amounts of cut in pay to
railroads for postal service, but it is
generally believed by members of the
committee that the reduction will ag
gregate s10,000,000.
In discussing the practice of using
six as divisor when dividing the
weight of mail for full week to deter
mine the daily average, the report says
that his practice originated in 1878,
when few Sunday trains were run.
Since Sundays have come to be used
for methods of business, the report
says, Sundays should be counted here
after in arriving at daily averages.
Although the effect of using seven
as a divisor would be a reduction of
the total amount of money paid for
compensation, nevertheless the object
Of your committee in making the rec
ommendation is more with view to
plain and accurate methods of compu-
tation than for the specific purpose of
reducing the amount of pay"
A recommendation is made for gen.
eral weighing of all mail for period
of six months beginning July 1, 1907.
The total amount carried by the bill
is $209, ,S02.

front with paste ornament. This.
however, was not a fur cap of the
most conventional polo description.
but more of a fur toque mounted on a
oandeau, and worthy, perhaps of be-
ing called hat.
BLACK beaver is very popular and
was never more worn than this season
one we saw the other day was n
cavalier" hat in black silk beaver
with fiat choux of black satin massed
around the crown, and a large plume
OF cocks feathers at one side.
The new fiat cloche hats with com.
paratively small brims are becoming tn
some women. One we saw was mada
OF the finest black silk beaver and
was raised high at the back and left
side on a bandeau covered with ebony
OF black satin. Lying fiat on the
crown, almost directly in front was
a cluster of white camellias and wav.
ing over the back two superb feathers
shaded from black to soft grey and
then to pure white.
A little prying into the future and
effort to learn what the coming snring
and summer has in store in the way
OF millinery leads one to believe that
the jobbers are trying to get awav
from the conventional and bring in
something new. AS to shape there
will! be some new ideas, notably along
the lines of the mushroom and the
irregular sailor.
Flowers will be employed to a
marked extent from the opening of
the season. On stiff hats, black velvet
ribbon will be very good with feathers.
Lace will also find its use.
