Most Of the new shirt waists display
some novel and distinctive feature, which
lifts them out of the domain of the
ordinary, and the model illustrated is no
exception to this very general rule. The
front of the waist is very effective, and
the tucks. which are stitched to yoke
depth in front and to the waist line at
the back, give just the required fullness
in front and a pleasing effect of slender
ness to the back. The shaped trimming
piece, giving the popular Mandarin band
effect, is also distinctive, lengthening the
shoulder. and forming an attractive set
ting for the sleeve. which is set into the

Hearst Is q Dead One

The New York Evening Post, in COM
menting on the miserably small vote
cast for Hcarst's Independence party
says:
Mr., Hearst is now definitely deprived
of his martyrs crown, for which he has
substituted FOOLS cap. He cannot
even claim to have defeated Bryan and
Chanler; for the little fringe of votes
which his personally conducted indie
pcndcnce party cast was absolutely
negligible in the large result This is
Il terrible blow not only to an impudent
chalratan,, but to ill his boasting about
the irresistible political power of his
newspapers. He and his hirelings have
talked as if, when the Journal spoke,
5000, 900 readers said amen, and /, 900,
COG voters rushed to record their ap-
proval at the polls That humbug is
now exploded. When even the most
blatant journalism sets itself against
the popular stream, it is swept away
with other rotten vegetables. The true
comment OH Hcarsts further political
pretensions can best be conveyed to him
in language of the kind he uses, and
which has been heard within the past
few weeks from hundreds of his former
followers: Hearst? Aw, he's a dead
one"
