and plain tussor soutached in self color has
been one Of the most pronounced features
Of the outfit prepared for the South. A
sketch in the large cut shows a tussor cos
tune Of this class copied from a new French
model in light weight broadcloth.
The heavy silk was of a rather deep Copcn-
hagen blue braided in self color. and a strik-
ing feature of the model was an Aimee scarf
in black liberty closely swathing waist and
hip curve and falling in long ends in the
back. Mention was made Of this Oriental

These tUssOrs and other silks whose de-
signs recall the old printed cOttons and
liHens have been used in Paris for trimmings
other than waistcoats and even for coats
or entire frocks. but they are at their best
in waistcoats and parasols.

Ous among the new models, and some OF
the dressier coats have collars OF the Dl-

does not meet or knotted loosely lower

there is waistcOat may be embroidered
to match the waistcoat. One OF the Whlte

Another white serge coat and skirt,
more severe in character, has plain tailored
waistvoat Of Danish blue serge buttoning
with white pearl buttons, and for wear
with the suit were ordered several lingerie
houses of fine white batiRte trimmed in
MANY tiny hand tucks and a little hard
embroidery Of the same blue as the waist
coat.
The ever useful vOile is to be as popular
ss ever. and for a general utility between
seasons dress few things are SO seTviceable
as good voile, preferably a silk wolfe,
embroidered in sOutache or trimmed in
messaline or liberty. A frOck of brick
red silk voile soutached and made with a
becoming white guimpe and a little black
cravat was one OF the prettlest models
among a number shown 10y fashionable
uptown dressnaker, and another fTock in
the same group was a wood brown silk
voile trimmed in fine soutache braiding and
bands Of self color.

In the spring there was rather long semi

in front with only one big button at the

Mention has been made in The Sun Of
experiments in pTlncesse frocks opening
down the 'front.' and to-day We give pictures
of two of these extreme models, which are
interesting as indications OF the fashion

FIreDrOOf Theatres.


SINCE the Boyertown theatre horror and similar
catastrophes in other cities occurred inventors have
been assiduously at work devising some method to
eliminate danger to theatregoers Here is sugges-
ton by German engineer "a continuance for drop
ping series of iron curtains in front of the parquet
and balcony seats. Electric buttons scattered thru
out the theatre whereby curtains could be dropped
also scheme whereby the parquet floor could be
dropped several feet and 1t sank out of sight,
bestos curtains would automatically cover the aper-
lures"
This is very ingenious, but the system is too
costly and complicated If all the theatres were on
the ground floor and the lower walls made of glass,
there would be little difficulty in gaining the street,
if there locked door every ten feet Most Of
the theatres are veritable fretraps. Thousands of
dollars spent interior decorations and elabor
ate balconys, while attention is paid in many in
stances, toward the safety of the patrons. When
public opinion is sufficiently aroused there will be
provisions made for safeguarding theatregoers, but
until then there will be continuation of such horrors
as the Boyertown theatre fire. -

II Greedy Contractor.


ACCORDING to the evidence now being elected at
the trial of those who indicted for fraud in
nection with the building of Pennsylvania capitol
Contractor Ssnderson appears to be the worst rascal
that has been caught in many years. This unblush-
ing gentleman charged the commonwealth $16192O
for bootblack stand for which he paid only $l25 to
have manufactured Such superGne gall has not been
witnessed since the day that Boss Tweed used to rule
the political and financial destinies of easy-going
New York
At this writing it is difficult to say what Mr..
Sanderson's plea of justification will be. The whole
job has the earmarks of being plain steal, and the
people are determined that the guilty parties shall
not be whitewashed Before the trial is ended there
will be than gltedged reputation sacrificed
on the altar of Mammon. So far sufficient damag-
ing evidence has been given to the dishonesty Of
these men to send hundred persons to the peni-
Tertiary. It is evident that these kid goved rascas
let the cat out of the bag in quarreing division
of the spois, and several of them are only too
anxious to save themselves by turning states evil
dence. Their crime smells to high heaven and it is
too bad that the state must compromise with few
Of them in order to convict the rest.

DEGREES of Insanity.


Dr. JOSEPH GRAssET Frenchman who has
gained considerable fame insanity expert says
that all great mon are more or less insane His sweep

OTIS. The noted doctor may be right in his conclu-
sions but his statement is not very complimentary
to those whom he refers to- No doubt many of these
"great men" could prove strong case OF insanity
against this DOCTOR yea, without resorting to
circumstantlal evidence Nowadays it is customary
to consider every man insane who does not agree
with another in an argument; and even the man
who has the audacity to ignore the conveNtionaties
of society, is pronounced an imbecile

Chancellor DUu.

CNUNceLIOT DUy.
CHANCELLOR DAY has vigorously attacked the
cardinal principles of President Roosevelts recent
message to Congress. MI. Day could find nothing
to praise in the presidents remarks but arraigns
him for heaping abuse upon the poor Standard Oil
Co. ut is wrong" said Mr.. Day, "a great wicked
ness for the oil company to defend itself, but there
is no improperly in the president assaiing this
poration by name and defamlng it and sandering it
with all the influence of his great Office, while its
case is still undecided in the higher courts The
square deal has long been farce that this incon-
sistency to have escaped Mr. Roosevets ethic-
al standard, of which he makes so much" One can
not help but admire the pugnacious way in
which Chancellor Day is trying to uphold the digni-
ty of Standard OIL Still it is difficult to say wheth-
he is jealous because the president failed to sub
NIT to him his message for censorship, or whether
he is carrying heavy line of preferred oil stock
No suspects that he is doing this for that ephem
eral thing called fame-ndeed no!
