HUNDREDS OF BUTTONS
 TO BE USED ON GOWNS
By THE COUNTESS CARLO Dl cARlL

Paris, October S.-What is going to be the style of the fall and winter season? !? Shall we still continue to wear the cling ing directoire, or has it been killed by cold criticism or cruel ridicule? The ques- tion of the sheath dress is soon answered. We shall continue to be slender not to say lily-like.
 However one of the novelties of the season-and it is bound to be also one of it's successes-will be the robe en- roulee," the graceful and novel cut of which will be sure to take the fancy of every one by it's elegance and grace. The dress consists of two parts, or rather of exactly similar halves. joined by biased hem placed in the middle, both behind and front, and which being cut in a single piece from top to bottom forms both the corsage and the skirt.
 The material, which is amply gathered on the shoulder is caught in at the waist with fichu movement, draped in the style of a sash in a series of turning folds. You will judge by this description shat the robe justifies it's name of en- roulee," or rolled
 It goes without saying that the material must be extremely light and supple to permit of all this folding and rolling and even then it is sometimes found requisite to suppress a little amplitude at the WalSI 10 preserve the elegance oI lhe line.
 The trimming of these dresses consists almost invariably of broad entre-deux of lace, embroidered thread or fine openwork embroidery. For the corsage these trim mings are intermingled with the material of the dress and draped over the ceinture in the form of a point. The top of this corsage is of course, completed by the inevitable 'guimpe' of tulle, which is pro longed into the long sleeves without single seam over the shoulders.
 More than ever we shall see the use of such soft materials as satin-faced cloth, liberty, voile, charmeuse, and such like materials, even for tailor-made costumes.
 The pleated skirt will be seen no more, and it's place will be taken by a sort of princess robe with a high waist tightly fitting over the hips, and long sleeves The top of the bodice will be slightly decollete, the opening being filled in by an inclosure of guipure. Over this is worn a long-so long as almost to cover the skirt-directoire jacket, with large revers, and the basque cut in points-one point over the back and. one over each hip, the fronts. being sloped away con- siderably.

be called, will be lavishly trimmed with braid and buttons-hundreds of the latter.
 Some of the costumes have as many as 5O0 or 600 of these buttons disposed about them, and they seem to be placed any where. Sometimes they are arranged Tn patterns among, or outlining, the braid; sometimes they are used to button up the dress from top to bottom at the back; sometimes, again, they are arranged In a double row over a wide pleat in front or the dress to give an apron effect. The sleeves even are buttoned up from wrist to shoulder.
 In contrast to this "fussiness" in day dresses, evening toietes are to be de- lightfully simple in cut. For the early part of the coming season, tulle, both plain and spotted, coarse and fine, will De first favorite. This will be simply draped over soft satin, and allowed to fall in straight lines from the short waist to the feet. without any draping whatever The deeply decollete corsage will also be trimmed with simple bands running over the shoulders and disappearing under the waist band, or crossed in fichu in front.
 Even in winter we shall not be allowed to resume our underskirts, but nowadays the interior of our homes is as warm Tn winter as in summer, and for outdoor wear our furriers have made all our win ter garments very long and ample. Fur coats this winter will be made with cape in coarse lace trimmed with bands of fur. This upper cape can also be made of a different fur from that of the coat, and many strange combinations will be seen, such as zibeline coat with cape of ermine or an astrachan coat with zibeline cape.
 But these long coats are for winter wear only. For the first chilly days short. loose coats in zbeline, sealskin or ermne, reaching only to the hips at the sides, but with the back and front cut in very long points, these points being terminated with a passementerie tassel, will be worn
 Hats, instead of becoming more modest in size will be larger than ever. Indeed, the brimst are so wide as to reach be- yond the shoulders. They are made of satin, the favorite color being black. The. crowns are fiat and are entirely covered with a wreath of ostrich feathers, which is placed over tulle of the same shade, so as to increase the bulk. They are placed very far back on the head, and the back view of an elegant Parisenne, with her tight dress and enormous hat reminds one somewhat of mushroom.

refusing to allow the report of 4

Whereas, This action lends a tinge

the committee was instructed to re-
port their findings as to the actual

whereas. The aforesaid action OF
the house of delegates is contrary
to American principles and to the
constitution OF our state and the

pie Of the freedom guaranteed

rule depriving the sovereign people
