the gown will prove failure, no matter
now well it may be fashioned.
There are so many little details about
the simple gown that have to be carefully
considered that sometimes it seems any
thing but simple. The fitting of the cob
lar and yoke and the material of which
they are made make great deal of diff
ference, for instanceA The hand tucked
net of cream white is most generally
becoming, but the net must be fine and
soft. If lace is chosen instead of net
the finer laces' are the best and always
the more becoming. The collar must fit,
be high at the back and sides, but not
so high in front as to make the neck look
thick.
One of the smartest and most becom-
ing fashions of the winter is the lower
yoke or tucker and sleeves of net or
chiffon. the exact shade of the gown,
with only the small round yoke and col
lar of the white net or lace. This col
ored net yoke obviates the too great ex-
panse of white which has been rather
bad feature in many of the dark gowns.
while the dark sleeves are decidedly
new and in delightful contrast to
the white sleeves that have become as
ISOLATED with the jumper dress. All
black gowns are always smart, and it is
now possible to take away from them any
effect of mourning by lining the black
yol1e-the lower one-with chiffon of some
contrasting color. This note of color con-

| trast is always becoming to the woman
to whom all black is too trying and who
also wants something different from what
has been worn for many seasons-the all
black with white yoke and collar. Lining
the lower yoke with the color is also
fashionable with other coors besides
black and often gives n distinctive touch
that is most satisfactory.
Both the princess and Empire styles
are well adapted for the simple gown: at
the moment the composite OF Uotn seems
the most popular, for the waist and skirt
effect is no longer smart Two ma
terials can be combined if SO desired, the

j satin is to be recommended as a material,
and there are so many different Qualities
sold at so many different prices that
even the most limited dress allowance
can be made to include a satin gown

evening wear and can also be made to

black net or chiffon. With the further adj
dition of long black satin coat the
smartest of reception costrnes can be
evolved, and while. if forced to do duty
for so many different occasions, a long
life cannot be promised. at all events the
woman who satisfactorily carries out the
scheme will look smartly gowned and al
far less expenditure of money than If she
had bought, as she thought, most judi
ciously two moderate priced, serviceable
but not noticeably up to date gowns
While black is conceded to be the BEST
economy. this same programme may be
carried out to equally good advantage in
color, only be it realized that colored satin
of a cheaper qualiA never looks well in
the day time, so that another material
should be chosen: hut. after all, black is
eminently satisfactory.

Striking Example of Simple
Costume.

W STRIKING example of the simple
II ity of many of this seasons hand
: some costumes is shown inS figure 2.
There is not particleaof trimming on
this costume excepting the lapels, the
two large buttons on the front Of the coat
and the long sash ends which hang from
these buttons.
What a contrast is this costume to
many which are equally new and fashion
able, and which are covered with mass
of braiding and embroidery! Yet the cos
tune shown in the illustration is complete
in every particular, and the effect.of this
especial costume would be found to be
much lessened rather than accentuated by

As will be noticed, these lace ruffies are
quite deep, falling well over the hand and
hanging down at the side for quite dis
lance. The jabot to match has the upper
part made of the most exquisite quality OF
linen, the lace being merely the border.
The linen or batiste for this purpose is of
the most beautiful quality and very soft
as well as diaphanous Anything less fine
would not be suitable. Net and chiffon
are also used for the upper part of the
jabot, but are not quite so beautiful as
the, very fine linen.
For these sleeve ruffles and jabots the
most beautiful lace which one can afford
is employed Handsome lace is indeed
necessary and real lace may almost be
considered necessary. Imitation lace, un-
less of the very finest quality, is consid-
cred most inadequate for this purpose.

both pieces is fashioned of yellow brown

garment a sufficiently elaborate one for

in sleeves and at the throat. Lace rufties

Il ANCY braiding has forced its way
into all departments of dress, and now

not less noteworthy than they, while the
latter costume seems merely an nnsuc-
cessful imitation through which the grim
spectre of necessary economy is unhap-

Color and quality of material always
play most important part in a simple
costume, probably more imr> ant han
in one which is much trimmed. A costume
such as is chown in the illustration must
be made up in handsome quality of cloth
or velvet in order that-it may be effective.
1t is usually considered important, also, to
choose a rather unusual color for so sim

American Artist Shares in Hungar-

Following an unusual romance
comes the announcement, after more
than year, of the marriage of AL
len Carter Watson, a New York ar
fist, to Miss Anita Mercer, former
Worcester girl, in Marididi, Hun
gary. A letter has been received by
Henri Mercer, brother, in Temple
ton, after following him for months
over a greater portion of the United
States The couple were married in
Marididi, on Feb. 10, year ago,
and have now taken up their per-
manent residence in Venice.
On January 10, 1907, Miss Mer-
with Miss Edna Burley and the lat
ter's mother, Mrs. George r. Bur-
ley, found themselves in Marididi.
They were on a tour of the world j,
and this day in Marididi is known as
''All Husbands Day" On this day
the unmarried men and women for
miles around gather at the village.
Every bachelor writes his name on a
card and casts it into a tub of water.
The single women approach the
tub at noon with long poles fitted
with spikes. Each spears a card and
the man whose name is on the card
speared is expected to marry the girl
within month With arms linked,
they walk through the village and
thus publicly acknowledge their be-
trothel.
Mr.. Watson was in Marididi for
the purpose of sketching the natives
during the fete of All Husbands
day and he overhead Miss Burley
dare Miss Mercer to. spear for a hus-
band. When in fun Miss Mercer ac-
cepted the dare, Watson bribed the
native in charge to change the tub
for one which contained cards with
his name only.
He claimed the forfeit and the
walk through the village.
A month later to a day, on Feb
10, they were married in Marididi,
and later continued on their tour I'M
til they reached Venice, where they
decided to make their permanent

ABOUT THE MISTAKES OF THE
CAMPBELL ADMINISTRATION

Discussing the very live issues
that are raised under the above
caption the Dallas News says:
Those who condemn all that has
been done by the present state ad-
ministration, as well as those who
fallen into dangerous error and if
either side could influence the pub
lie mind toward it's purpose the peo-
pie would be led far off on false Is
sues. Some things that Gov. Camp
bell and the thirtieth legislature did
are good and other things they did
are bad, Informed and patriotic citi-
zens on both sides Of the question
now before them should agree that
the good should stand approved and
that the bad should be, duly correct
ed.
There has never been any admin
/, istration that has not made mistakes
,and it is but fair to recall that the
thirtieth Legislature was burdened
and torn by the Bailey investigation
and by other diversions and annoy
ances, aside from the far-reaching
and radical reforms it was led into
without sufficient time for wise con
sideration. Some allowance should be
made for the extraordinary condi-
tons and difficulties that suddenly
confronted members of the legisla-
ture on their appearance at the state
tcapital The Campbell administration
undertook entirely too much, and
this was the more unfortunate be-
cause of the extraordinary hindran-
ces that were found in the way.
The thing to do is to take up the
work now at hand without prejudice
or partisan bias and to get out of it
the best possible results. In order to
do this, the contention that it is all
good as well as the contention that
it is all bad must be abandoned.
Take the Robertson insurance
law, for example. 1t ought to be
confessed that some of its provisions
are sound and absolutely necessary
as means of saving the public
from eXtortion and from fraud. Rig
id regulations were needed, and of
course they should have been made
whether the insurance companies ap-
proved them or not. On the other
hand "A hill comDe1Iing the comnau-
