Adopts Unit Rule.
Denver. July S.-The committee on
rules decided last night to adopt the
rules of the convention four years
ago. This includes the unit rule for
state delegations, and will have an
important bearing on the situation.
Senator Tom Grady of New York
was chairman of the committee on
rules. and he was in accord with the
spirit of the unit rule resolution.
More important, however, is the
platform. If the fight develops strong
ly under the unit rule the New York
delegation can cast rs votes in oppo-
sition to Bryan planks that are op-
posed by the state leaders.

Fads and Fashions.

Oddities in hat pins, one the head
of which is bright red rose, another
has a tiny ostrich tip for the head.
1t is tasteful to wear silk hosiery
matching the gown with shoes or OK
fords of black patent leather, oxblood
or tan calf or brown kid skin.
Hats of all sizes and shapes are
worn, but the large audacious, defiant
looking headgear rules-in fact, the
larger and saucier it looks, the more
it is sought.
A close rival to the brown and tan
shoes is the new oxblood, which is
being lavishly shown in oxfords,
pumps and in lace and button high
shoes.
Dark Toupe (or Elephant) is by far
the strongest color for the moment in
Paris. Toupe hats trimmed in ostrich
plumes with satin facings to match
are popular.
AS fashion tendency influences ev-
cry detail of the costume, the foot
wear cannot hope to escape. The
classic vogue is the matching of the
shoes with the hose, or the hosiery
with the gown, and contrasting col
or for the slippers or oxfords.
The athletic girl effecting long
strides is hopeless in a skirt of the
newest cut, even skirts for dressy oc-
casions have been materially reduced
during the last few weeks, and petit
coats are made of the softest and
most clinging materials. Many of the
handsome evening gowns have skirts
shaped to the knees and then flare
with moderation to the hem, which
rests well on the floor all around.
A late Paris letter from its repre-
sentative, to large Chicago millinery
house, says: "Alf hats are smart,
but there is only one shape noticeably
shown on the Boulevards. This is a
large droop shape, very decided
droop, large crown directly in the
center The shape is oblong-shorter
front to back than side to side-is
trimmed with aigrettes and plumes
with low sweeping trim around
crown and off to sides"
