A large number of 5lasons from this
city will be in attendance at one OF
more of the sessions of the convention.
Especially will be this the case on the
Wednesday night meeting when the
Master Mason'S degree is to be con-
ferred by teams from the Americas
lodges. This team puts on the work in
magnificent form, and as the candi-
dates are Americas men it is more than
probable that there will be large rep
resentation of craftsmen from this city.
The program for the convention is as

Asset Currency.

II is evident there will be deter.
mined effort when congress meets to
pass an asset currency" bill. The
American bankers convention, which
has just adjourned. adopted the pro.
posed plan, although there were scrl.
Gus objections offered by some OF the
members. The object is to allow the
national banks to issue more currency,
without having to deposit United
States bonds to secure the issue The
cry is more money. The bankers want
a monopoly that can be increased or
decreased at their pleasure, and. of
course, for their profit. But as the
amount of money per capita is con.
stantly increasing by the increased
output of gold and the currency isued
by newly organized national banks,
there would seem to be ample cur.
rency TO meet all demands OF legItl.
mate business.

NEEDS MUCH CARE
DRESSMAkING AT HOME BY NO
MEANS A "SNAP."
Only Thorough Practice viii Give
Proper Results-one Fault Par
tlcuIarly Common with the
Beginner.

The proper cutting, fitting and fin.
ishing Of dress can be done only
after thorough practice. Accuracy In
the small details will do much to make
the garment perfect; another matter
which is often neglected il the careful
handling OF the parts, so that they are
not stretched out of shape Careless
ness about this latter will cause the
dress to fall into unsightly wrinkles at
the seams.
The last.mentioned fault is partlcu.
larly common among beginners, and
when committed is very difficult. and
In some cases nearly impossible. to
remedy Every piece OF figured ma.
terial must be cut out separately, and
not on the double, even though the
pieces be identical In shape, for this
material seldom folds quite evenly.
Velvet and all such pile materials
should appear dark when held against
the wearer, and checks and plaids
match both lengthwse and widthwise
In every piece. Stripes may either be

and the lines made to 1T with each
other.

and roll up the cloth and the sheet at

this way over night, then spread It

Cut out the pattern after It has been
laid on the cloth. and mark the perfor.

of correct patterns, some of the diff
culties incidental to fitting may be
avoided. However. very few figures
follow the normal line exactly. and

means uncommon. Sometimes this Is
caused by the alteration Of one nart,
thereby THROWN another out ut line.
When this occurs the whole garment

Velvet VIII Have Nonue.

Importers and modistes are of the
unanimous opinion that velvet Is to
have n great vogue, and several tail
ored models have already arrived
from abroad The colorings are ex.
quisltc and reveal many new and
lovely tones. says the Delineator for
September.
Checked and striped yelvets are
shown made up into gowns intended
for use at morning lectures and at
luncheons, They are light Of weight.
supple in quality and show both close
and open designs. The hair.line vel.
vets have all the attractiveness of a
corded weave but none OF its severity.
While It is quite true that velvets
showing stripes and checks are no
novelty, having been used last season,
the beautiful color tones which the
new ones possess promise to make
them desirable. Where the hair lines
are OF contrasting color such as
black on sandstone. or white on the
sapphire blue, they produce a shaded
effect which is particularly pleasing.

there are other contributing causes;

favor the new theory advanced by
Mr.. Roosevelt as to absolute federal
control Of corporation affairs by con.

by the president, are publishing the
speech of one Danvin p. Kingsley Of
the New York Life Insurance com.
pany. delivered before the conven-
ton OF Insurance Commissioners OF
the states at Richmond, Va, on Sep.
TENDER 18th. Kingsley is a son.in.law
of that enterprising citizen John A.
Mccall. the former president Of the
New York Life, who fabricated Sc
profusely to Governor Culberson Of
Texas, and ordered George w. Perkins
TO give up $4,000 of money belonging
to the policy holders of the New York
