and silks that will be so extensively
worn throughout the warm season, as
we'll as for the wool suitings. The
vest portions and the prettily shaped
collar and cuffs allow of effective con-
trast and can be utilized in variety
of ways. In this instance plain cloth
is braided with soutache and trimmed
with bits of velvet, but banding would
be quite correct.
The coat is made with fronts,

sleeves. The sleeves are arranged
under the pleats and joined to the
under-arm portions and finished with
roli-over cuffs. The vest portions are
stitched to the fronts and the collar
finishes the neck.

procedure of the first session, the Sc

not always, the program making of
the whole convention, temporary and
permanent organizations, nominating,

1t is the chairman of the National
Committee who calls the convention

day set. This year the Republican
National Convention will be called to
order by Harry c. New on June 10,
and the Democratic Convention will
be called to order by Thomas Taggart
on July 7.
