Feminine Presents.

New York, Dec. 15.-The Christ
mas present problem is never q
simple one for the giver who has very
little money to spend, but the solu-
ton of the problem should be less
difficult than usual this year for
those lucky mortals who need not
confine their giving within the limit
ations imposed by a slender purse
The shops are full of delectable
things, and so many of these things
are suited to feminine dress purposes
that one is tempted to combine dis
cussion and modes and of Christ
mas gifts.
Only the things to wear properly
belong to our province, but there
are so many pretty things to wear,
from LINGERIE collars to imperial Rus
sian sables, from satin slippers to
diamond tiaras, things dainty enough
to suit any fastidious woman at al
most any price beyond a dollar or
two

regular prescription 1t is composed
of the best tonics known, combined

Raps Democratic Party

While both dominant parties come
in for a jab, that delivered the Demo-
cratic party was the hardest. The
leaders of American workmen urged
their followers to vote the Demo
cratic ticket" says the address, while
confessing it's criminal hostility to
labor whatever and whenever in
power The Democratic party is
now and has been for forty years
under the whip of violently undemo-
cratic reactionary and plutocratic
Bourbons of the South and slum
politicians, the liquor interests and
common criminals of Tammany Hall
the political mouthpiece of the
traction trust and the plant tool

Couture Ornaments

Couture ornaments are always in
order for gifts. This winter they
have taken on classic lines, and
bandeaux, filets, soft ribbons run in
and out through the hair are parti-
cularly popular A bandeau form
ed of braided bands of gold gauze
and finished at one end by a little
knot of the gauze and at the other
end by a rose and foliage of the same
gauze is inexpensive and pretty with
semi-Grecian coilure and charming
effects are achieved with tinseled
strands of small pearls and pearl
ornaments. One sees fewer floral
wreaths and aigrets, but sweeping os-
prey plumes are much used by Paris
ians.

Here Are the Reforms

Some of the reforms which the
new party stand for, and which the
present constitution stands in the
way of, according to address, are
The initiative and referendum, pro.
portional representation, the right
of recall, direct election of judges
of the United States Supreme Court
president and United States senator
restriction of the injunction, gradual
ed income tax, graduated inheritance
tax, taxation of ground rent, govern
ment ownership of public utilities, is
suance of fiat money all of which
have been advocated by the Popu-
lists and some of them by other
parties for years.
Upon this platform Forrest says the
disconnected elements of all parties
will be gathered, so that in 1912 the
new party will be second in the ma
ton. The Democratic party, he says
is dead as herring, and only awaits
proper burial.

Jet has fresh prestige here as else
where in fashions kingdom and is
used not only upon black slippers,
but upon delicate colors and white,
as in the case of the white satin
slipper with jet butterfly. which is

pretentious than the buckles is de-

pretty pair of slippers and, if one
will, have the whole held in a de-
lightful slipper bag of old brocade?
A pair of black satin or black
velvet slippers with rather small,
finely designed brilliant buckles, and
with no rosette or bow, is vastly be-

too, for carriage wear over slippers

cade, gold embroidered, gold heeled
though they may be bought also in

Furs Always Acceptable

The sables and the tairas we may
leave out of the discussion Any one
who can buy them and wants them is
likely to have definite ideas about the
sort of things she wants and doesn't
need help but when one comes down
to consideration of less ambitious furs
and couture ornaments, the average
buyer begins to be interested
Furs are always an acceptable gift,
and while handsome furs are neces-
sarily costly, this season is particul-
arly rich in gifts one might wisely Sc
lect some one of the pretty cravats
which are made separately for wear
with the ubiquitous sheer yoke or
collar. These come in various forms.
Some are narrow folds fitting closely
around the base of the collar and fin
ished with a tiny bow and little tas-
seled ends in front. Others are jew
eled, metal, or tasseled ends, and are
to be drawn around the throat and
knotted loosely either at the base of
the throat in front or lower on the
yoke
Some of these ties are quite expen-
sive. Others are very cheap, and look
it; but there is middle ground in
which pretty things are to be found.
In the Jewelry Shops
In the jewelry shops there are more
costly expressions of this idea-bands
of black velvet or MORE with ex-
quisite little jeweled slides and tas-
sells. The ribbon bands with tiny
watches suspended from them are a
still more extravagant development OF
the idea, and these are now copied in
cheap form.
OF course, a necklet does away with
the need of a cravat, though it is
not always SO appropriate, and the
odd hand-wrought necklaces set with
semiprecious stones are as popular
as ever, while amazingly effective imi-
tations at low prices are shown i'll
some of the shops, especially in those
devoted entirely to imitation jewelry.
Fox furs of all kinds are popular
this winter, and while some are enor-
mously expensive, others are fairly
moderate in price as furs go. Many
chic muffs are made up in combina-
tions of fox and satin, fox and net
et, and though the fax neck fur is
usually of simple Sort emphasizing
