Shirt Waists and BIouses
to Be Plain and Pretty

The separate shirt waist Is such nee
essary part of woman's wardrobe that
it will probably always be in fashion. Ger
tainly, it will be worn until some gar
ment more convenient and equally at
tractive is introduced to take its place
For another season at least the separate
waist will be in favor, for the display In
the shops is quite as large as those ex-
hbited in former years.
A distinctive feature of the newest mod
els Is their extreme> plainness; in fact,
some are almost skimpy. And while this
means a saving of material. 1t makes a
greater amount of skill in cutting and MT
ting essential, for without tucks or pleats
every defect shows clearly. This seasons 8
waists are built on straight up and down
lines. regardless Of the fabric employed.
Indeed. a net waist will display design
quite as severe in style as a percale
morning blouse.
When a yoke is used it is rather by
suggestion, for hemming just Stimulates
the yoke or tucks on the shoulder stop
at yoke depth, losing themselves in folds
that lie perfectly fiat.
Crepe is responsible for the majority of
the new waists, as this fabric comes In
every color besides black and white, and
in a variety of different weaveS and
weights that make 1t suitable for wear on
almost any occasion For morning there
is a heavy, cheap grade of crepe, while
for afternoon and evening blouSes there is
large choice. both in cotton and silk.
The favored decoration for these fabrics
is embroidery. used alone or in combina-
tion with tucks.
A Smart Model for Home Sewers.
A smart model that could be copied at
home is made plain from goods that has
first been laid in half-inch tucks one inch
apart. The tucks run straight up and
down the body of the waist, but around
on the sleeves. When the blouse is SOM
plete dots of colored mercerized thread
may be set between the rows of tucks. or
fine embroidery may be developed to
define yoke. This kind Of garment will
be equally appropriate for morning wear
With tailored skirt. or for afternoon
With one of voile or similar material.
The stamped crepe waists are exceed
ingly pretty and inexpensive. and as white
or only one color for working the en-
broidery Is approved, an unskilled needle
woman may attempt the decoration.
In making waists of crepe, whether of
repaid for the labor necessary to connect
all seams with veining. This tiny orna-
mentation costs little, but its addition
changes a commonplace garment into one
of daintiness. Seams of crepe material
are apt to be clumsy looking, despite neat
work. and any one who has once used
the veining for joining will always con-
tinue it.
terial much used for morning blouses. 1t
is made plain. closing down the front
under box pleat, and fitted with small
bishop sleeves, confined by band cuffs.
Such a waist may be worn with a black,
a white or a color matching the stripe
in the goods.
Another pretty development is to cut
the body of the waist on the bias and

FASHIONS AND FADS.

The latest fad is the bodice chain.
Gold net is used as lining to yokes
Patch pockets are mark of the season
All the gold shades are within the mode
Lace is returning as factor in millin-
cry.
Some smart dress trimmings are made
of straw.
The long coat bids fair to remain a
favorite
Odd coats Of tan and gray are to be
much worn.
Bedford cord is back among the popu-
lar WeaveS
When you cannot afford to buy jewels
use beads.
New gowns from Paris have corsets
made in them.
Ribbon watch chains are quite the thing
just now.
Evening star., 1909-04-30
Afternoon Blouses Also Plain.

Some afternoon blouses in soft batiste
are attractive, though extremely simple,
having groups of fine tucks alternating
with rows of narrow embroidery in the
front. the sleeves being carried out to
match.
There is no collar. but little lace frill
sewed to a strip of embroidery finishes
the neck. The sleeves are full length.
A quaint model in batiste is tucked to
form yoke, then cut out slightly square
at the neck and edged with lace
The sleeves are tight fitting and end
just below the elbow in points
These are edged with narrow inser-
tion, and another row goes around the
sleeve directly over the elbow, the whole
suggesting a cuff.
Evening blouses are of net, crepe and
thin silks, mounted over their own color
as rule. Jet is favorite trimming and
so are folds of soft silk, laid on to simu-
late folds.
Braiding and embroidery are still in
high favor.

Perry declared they had moved Is

her husband had heaten her oftener

interests of this good old State lie in
the hands Of an INSCRIPTIONS politi-
cal cabal, be it Democratic or Repub-
lican.
We are called upon to fight for
our political liberties. Cough and
ahem about it as you please, this
whole history Of the Rings tamper-
ing with the suffrage reduces itself to
very simple prOposition--when
crooked election laws shalt have been
climaxed with constitutional disfran-
chisement, political liberty becomes a
matter of political license, and The
dominant ring issues the license. All
the specious arguments of their most
expert advocates have not served to
remove this well-grounded suspicion
from the peoples minds. Neither do
their solemn assurances remove it.
When these gentlemen publicly
guarantee to preserve every white
man his vote, we must be forgiven it
we doubt them, The record is
against them.
Thousands Of white men in this
State can stand up tonight and tesd-
fy to the loss Of their votes in re-
public that proudly claims to have
proven the doctrine Of universal suf-
frage.
The present chairman Of the Dem
oeratic City Committee has ascribed
it to the exigencies of partisan poll
tics. Note, please, that it is not a
Republican critic, it is the chairman
of the Democratic City Committee
who has said q fear and shudder
whichever I see certain men touch
our election laws. They always take
a step backward instead Of forward.
Their acts have been those of polite
ians, endeavoring to obtain some adj
vantage over their political opponents
without regard to the rights Of the
voters
What does the Governors array
commissions mean, except an indict-
ment Of his own partv's claim to
irreproacbable and unimpeachable
government through all its long lease
of power? If there are no abuses to
reform, no shortcomings in admins
tration to correct why this string Of
commissions as long as the triumphal
procession of an old Roman senator.
They would seem to indicate that
the state is "out of joint" that
''things rank and gross in nature
possess it merely" and that the Gov
ernor deemed it diplomatic to make
show of much industry in this I'M
weeded garden on the eye Of high
ly critical election, Let US remark
in passing, that the "reforms" COM
mended by these special commission
ers are duplicates of measures intro
dueed by Republicans at the last
legislature and sneeringly denounced
by the Democratic ring.
These gentlemen will hardly point
with pride Off they are wise, they
will avoid pointing at alb to what
the Baltimore Sun has called their
variegated legislative record. Gov
ernor Warheld (and ! presume Gov
ernor Warfeld may now venture to
call himself Democrat if he does it
quietly and with due regard to his
surroundings, well, it is Governor
Warfeld who says the last legislature
was not shalt decent" and who
charges it with scandalous and reek-
less squandering Of the peoples
money.

MR.. posgY's GOOD RECORD.

Ia the nominations which the Re-
publicans Of Maryland have made
for the bench, and which they will
make in this city this week, fitness
only has been sought. No political
considerations have been involved.
This has been true in the selection
Of Mr.. Adrian Posey for the bench
to fill one of the vacancies caused by
the retirement of Judges J. Parran
Crane and George G. Merrick in the
Seventh circuit. Mr.. Posey pos
sesses a Judicial temperament and is
in every way qualified to perform
the duties of his high position. He
combines a knowledge of business
with that of law. As banker he
has mastered the many ramifcations
of that branch of business enterprise.
He is a product of Charles county,
self-made man who started bis life
as a breadwinner when a poor boy.
His energy, activity and rugged
honesty attracted the attention of
the late Frederick Stone, who en-
eouraged him in his early career at
the bar. Mr.. Posey has never been
unmindful of the encouragement of
bis friend when he needed friend.
As return he has encouraged and
helped young men in their struggles
to gain a foothold and place in the
world.
That Mr.. Posey is held in high re-
gard by bis neighbors, by those who
know him best, is demonstrated by
the fact that his county has bestowed
upon him every honor within its gift
which he desired. In 1887 he was
elected member of the House of
Delegates. A year later he was a
delegate 70 the Republican uationa'
convention which nominated Nj.
Harrison for president. In 1889 he
was elected 10 the Senate to repre-
sent Charles county. AT the cleo
ton he received more votes than had
ever been cast for a Republican can
didate in that county. He was the
caucus nominee of his party in 1892
for the presidency of the Senate,
which body was controlled by the
Democrats. In 1898 be declined a
denomination for the Senate. Two
years later he was elected states at
torney of the county.
In addition to being lawyer and
a banker, Mr.. Posey is also an editor.
In 1882 he acquired control of the

sembly, he has been a consistent de-
fender of his party's principles, and
has been an advocate of good gov
eminent in the nation, the state and
county, Such a record makes Mr..
Posey an ideal candidate. Not only
should he be supported by all the
Republican voters in the circuit, but
no doubt hundreds of Democrats,
knowing his solid worth and fitness
for the bench, will vote for him. Bal

mr.. WILLIAMS NOTIFIED.

Mr. Frank E. Williams, Of Cecil
county, was notified on Tuesday at
he Hotel Rennert OF his nomination

W Comptroller Of the State. The
Notification took place in the pres
4nee Of q large gathering of party
workers throughout the State.
The notification was made by Gen.
IT, Allison Wilmer in an able, strong
aaI telling speech. Gen. Wilmer in
course Of his remarks laid strong
ma special emphasis upon the plat
+2rm adopted by the Republicans
Turing the course Of which he said
aNo better campaign document
be promulgated than a publiea-
on Of the resolutions passed by our
asst state convention, and that no
ronger campaign speech could be
elivered than a defamation e that
platform. Concise, elean-cut, free
eom evasion and from that sort Of
rbiage which conceals purpose, and
om that redundancy of expression

0f words, in plain, direct, forceful
nd unmistakable language what the
epublican party claims to be for
heir greatest good, and pledge the
party faith TO the ful6lment of the
promises made.7
Mr. Williams upon the conclusion
9f Gen. Winners speech, responded
ID feeling, strong and eloquent ad-
lress Of acceptance.
AR Williams after thanking the
Committee struck right out from the
houlder and made one of the ablest
addresses of acceptance heard in
Gears. He said that he was not an
5tiice seeker, and that it was not the
esire for the office that induced him
10 accept, but the desire to look out
sor and protect the welfare and the
berties of the people Of the State
and for the principles of right and
ice
He handled the straus Disfranchis-
1g Amendment without gloves, and
"a SO doing said that "the Democratic

In his speech he then goes on to
