DIRECT0IRE GOWN

q have made two of them within the last month for two women of Chi cago who are most exquisite dresSers, said Mr. Pollak. They always wear the latest and most artistic creations. I made them directoire gowns that were beauties. I sent them to their homes. Then 1 heard nothing. l lis tened, but I heard nothing. So l tel ephoned to one of the women and ask ed how she liked her directoire gown. She said she liked it. but she has not worn it outside her boudoir. She ad- mts she dropped her nerve at the last moment.
 Then I telephoned the other woman and asked her how she liked the gown. She liked it all right, but her husband, believe does not. All of them will be wearing directoire gowns next fall after they get home from Europe and know that they are all the rage over there It always takes time in Chi caeo. but after that-O. my"

Chicago. June 6.-The directoire ,wn that has been shocking the po- ,e and creating general havoc in iris yand London, is headed for Chi it already has arrived. The 'eCiKens of the sensational style are own to be concealed "in our midst" owners not having had sufficient urage to wear them in public. It is opined by the persons who id clothes for women in Chicago It the directoire gown is destined to come the rage in this city, though

 Two Made for Chicago Women.
 2. Pollak, proprietor of the wom- s tailoring establishment at 1551 ,higan avenue, is an enthusiast over
 new style. But he is disappointed
 the seeming hesitancy of Chicago men in Gonnpg the garment.
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1908-06-07

Mr. Pollak consented to describe the directoire gown. It is simple" he said. The gown is sit on each side from the knee down and underneath the woman wears trousers, just like man. It is pretty and nothing could be more modest i see that the foreign dis patches tell about the wOmen's stock ngs showing through the sits. That Is possible. Of course, in such a case the woman leaves off the trousers. That is all matter of taste.
 Mrs. $. Lebeau, 211S Michigan ave- nue, said that several directoire gowns are on their way to Chicago from Paris and will arrive the latter part of the month.
 But it remains to be seen whether Chicago will take to the style, she said. There is no telling i'll advance what Chicago is going to think about Ianything. Chicago reserves her opin- ion

In view of the foregoing, is it not
the duty Of every loyal Democrat de-
string his party's success, If 1t can be

dead hand of the past'and prepared to
consider calmly the political outlook
and the chances Of Democratic sue
cess, and then with cool and careful
judgment select a nominee who can

PROVED WELL-F0UNDED

about twelve or fifteen years ago,
while living in West Virginia, had a
breaking-out, and it itched and stung so
badly that l could not have any peace
because Of 1t. / saw three doctors and
they did not agree on what it was, so
one of them gave me something that he
called medicine, but | called it soda
water. l might just as well have
washed in rain-water. Then got some
Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Ointment, and
Cuticura Resolvent and began to get
better right away. They cured me and
have not been bothered with the itch
ing since, to amount to anything.
About two years ago had la grippe
and pneumonia which left me with a
pain in my side. Treatment ran it into
my leg, which then swelled and began
to break out. 1t got in pretty bad
shape, so went to doctor. He was
afraid it would turn to blood-poison.
/ used his medicine but it did no good.
So sent for another set Of the Cuticura
Remedies. used them three times

PoIiteness and the Clock.

When a very petite woman has com
pany she never looks at the clock.
II by any means h> eyes must wander
70 that side Of the room she very
carefully looks above the clock, or be-
low 1t, or to one side Of it, but never
is she guilty Of the rudeness of look
ing at the clock itself. When a guest
looks at the clock and comments upon
the lateness of the hour then a hos
tess may look at it, but she must i'm
mediately in very polite and ladylike
terms, insist that the clock lies; that
1t Is at least four hours too fast. The
clock is an important factor in true
politeness. ONLY by utterly ignoring It
when there is company can woman
become perfect LADY, -AtchiscH

CALI. FOR JOHNSON
LOGICAL STANDARD BEARER OF
THE DEMOCRACY.
APPEALS TO THE VOTERS.
In His Name and with the Great
Cause Victory 10 Assured to
the Party Of the People
Why Court Defeat2

Friends of Governor John A. John
son of Minnesota have issued letter
and pamphlet that together consti-
tute an address to the Democrats Of
the country Both make a strong ap.
peal to Democrats everywhere to ex-
ert themselves to see that the Denver
convention shall be deliberate body
that will look the field over and
choose a candidate who, while repre-
senting modern Democracy, can win
at the polls.
The letter, which is signed by Fred
erick B. Lynch, treasurer Of the Min
nesota Democratic State Central Com
mittee, who has opened offices in the
Grand Pacific hotel, Chicago, is as fol
lows:
Dear Sir: You are a Democrat, and
1t is because you are Democrat that
this Is addressed to you, with the feel
ing that you will exert yourself to give
the party one of the greatest essen.
tials to victory, strong and accept
able candidate for the presidency.
The Democracy of the nation have
for IL years been losing ground and
the belief is general that under the
old conditions defeat is certain. For
months the party has been drifting
toward an autocratic convention,
where popular choice is to be subor-
dinate to personal will.
Minnesota Democrats, feeling that
party duty transcends individual in.
terest, have had the courage to
break away from the drift and offer

the party a candidate who, If nomi.
mated, can carry more states than any
other living Democrat, and who would
be practically certain of election. Re-
belling against the doctrine of despair,
We take it for granted that there ID
no necessity for the ravens Of defeat
to perch on the banners of Democ-
racy in 1908, simply because they did
in 1896, 1900 and 1904.
Conditions industrially, financially
and politically are such that we have
this year the opportunity Of genera
ton to win the presidency.
If you and the other Democratic
leaders of the country will but re-
spond to the invitation and the oppor-
tunity extended to you by the Demo
Gratis Of Minnesota, we can escape
from the blighting tradition Of defeat,
and rehabilitate the party and the ma
ton by great political victory next
November.
There is still ample time to see
that enough delegates are elected to
the Denver convention to make that
deliberative Democratic body that will
give the party new hope and new inspi-
ration and winning candidate. To
this end, we solicit your cooperation
and will heartily welcome and con
slider any suggestions you may offer.
