An authority on fashion In speak ing of the different styles of walking tn at have had their day says that the fad of the hour, among women. resembles what mi ght be termed a stained glass pose. the waist figure being indrawn to accent the pose, and the shoulders pitched forward.

NEW YORK RACE FIGHT.
RumOrs of Money Used at Albany TO
Defeat Bills.

Albany March 23.-For the first time
since the fight over race-track betting be-
gan, the conviction has become wide
spread at the capitol that money has been
sent here 10 beat the bills. senator OF
prominence. not numbered among the
avowed champions OF the measure, said
to-day:
During the four years that have been
in the senate have never seen anything
so bold and barefaced as is now going on
The element of money is unmistakable
In fact, the situation is SO obvious now
that senator's who might have opposed
the bills may In several instances find IL
necessary to support them to escape pub
lie suspicious"
There is no mistaking the general belief
that enough votes have been pledged in
the senate to defeat the bllls-or, in any
event. 10 amend them 10 take effect on
September I. Twenty-eight votes is the
minimum now claimed by the friends Of
the race track, with at least thirty for
the September ! amendment. Nineteen
DemOcrats-an save Senator Fuller. Of
Brooklyn-are said to be pledged to this.
Six or seven Republicans at the most are
all that are needed 10 insure the defeat OF
the bills.
In the meantime there Is no evidence Of
any weakening on the part OF Gov.
Hughes He has said repeatedly that he
does not approve of the September /
amendment. His determination to fight
his battle out, If it takes ali summer, q"
is manifest.
