to enforce popular selection by doing
away with the nomination of candi-

primaries. The late %nonpartisan
democratic legislature busted itself
solely with measures supposed to make

OPPOSE THE STOCKING TAX.
z, OOO, 900 Women in Countrywide
Movement Against Tariff.

CHICAGO, March 2G-"Kill the stock
ing tax" country wide movement
against certain features of the Payne
tariff bill. to be participated in by more
than 2No.00O women, is seen in plans
just launched here. Chicago club women
have determined to enlist the National
Federation Of Women's Clubs in an attack
on the schedule in its application to
stockings and stocking materials. Fea-
lures of the Payne bill which retain the
present high tariff on wool, silk. and cot
ton stuffs and even increase the tariff on
cotton stockings of every description are
also being discussed.
A special meeting OF the Illinois Fedora
ton Of Womens Clubs is to be called i'm
mediately for the purpose OF organizing
an anti-stocking tax lobby. Mrs. Francis
Everett, president of the Illinois fedora
ton, announces that the stocking tax will
be brought to the attention of the national
federation which meets i'll San Antonio,
Texas, next week.
1t Is said that prices of all varieties of
stockings have been steadily increasing
for the last twenty years and that within
the last three years values have gone up
by leaps and bounds.

VANDOREN'S CELEBRATED
TWO.BUTTON PROCK
Designed for ]. Fred Gatchell,
the Leading Fourteenth
Street Tailor.

Isn't it of a truly joyous appro-
priateness that with the advent of
the new administration and the
certainty of the social side of life
in the National capital during the
next four years being exceedinly
attractive that it is possible to
make announcement of personal
interest to every man who cares
to fancy himself we'll dressed?
Doesn't it mean something to
you? Don't you want to know?
Oh. don't expect anything start
ling. Correct-irreproachably cor
rect-things i'll dress never are.
This has nothing to do with pink
overcoatings for spring or with a
combination of green and yellow
in waistcoats for evening wear.
Nor with anything similar.
In a nutshell it's just this. The
two-button frock, either. black or
in a shade just off black-smoke
color and such-is the absolutely
correct thing for afternoon wear.
Other garments may have been
correct in the past or may still be
correct-this is an announcement,
not an argument. But the two
button frock, properly made, is
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1909-03-21

In all sincerity the two-button
frock is the prettiest afternoon
garment ever built. Of course, it
is difficult garment to cut-just
so-but when it is properly cut
by an expert and properly fitted
with view to physical peculiar
tiles and idiosyncracies it pos
sesses a style and individuality
all its own. 1t is, moreover, dis
tinctive to degree, and the man
wearing one may feel with pleas
urable surety that he has that in
definable atmosphere which is
best characterized by the trite
term well dressed"
Mr.. Gatchell is making practi-
cally nothing else in the way Of
afternoon wear just now but the
two-button frock. OF course, this
may not be true of all other high
class tailoring establishments in
the city, but Mr.. Vandoren-of
course, his reputation doesn't
need elaboration-who is now
Mr.. Gatchell's head designer, has
had wonderful success in pleas
ing with this garment Of the
hour, and a remarkable rush of.
spring orders has followed. Some
of the subdued shades in which
this garment are made arc we'll
worth considering. They are
conservative, absolutely in the
mode and yet vastly more attrac-
tive to those who are not welded
to the black.
But more were rather in the
way of surplusage. Gatchell
garments are too we'll known in
this Capital city of Washington
to need detailed description.
But forget not. if you would
be ''just so of afternoons, the
two-button frock.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1909-03-21

the very last word in the matter
OF afternoon wear.
Twas laughable, not SO very
long ago, just after the announce
ment of rather classy afternoon
tea at the White House, the way
some rather we'll known folks in
Washington-members of Con-
gress and government officials
focked to their tailors to ask
questions and give orders. Some
wanted their frock coats taken in,
more cared to have them let out.
Others decided on new garments
entirely to replace their relics of
antiquated "Prince Alberts," to
use name that is quite rightfully
becoming obsolete in these days
of cleverly cut and tailored gar
ments.
81 despise Prince Albert. !"
said one conservative soul to MIR.
Gatchell, ''and certainly that, y
pointing to a garment just COM
pleted, isn't one of Them
"No," Mr.. Gatchell replied, with
smile. "that isn't 'one of them
That is the new two-button
frock.'
The conservative soul decided
on one there and. then, and he is
as pleased with it as child with
a new toy.
Every time | used to put on
Prince Albert" said he the other
day, II felt that, no matter where
| was going, l should rightfully
be at a funeral in order to har-
monte with my personal appear
ance. Nowadays, when | receive
an invitation to tea or similar aft
ernoon function, / never think to
stop of excuse. / just accept.
Honestly, I think I'm becoming
vain"

called to it by some ladies. She in
formed them that it did not belong TO

ladies'" Mrs. Ridley says, but one of
them stated that she intended to stop in
washington to see a relative who had
married a congressman. l think she
stated she was from northern New York.

ton, and when I again entered the re-
firing room. three hours after had seen
the bag. 1t was still hanging there. put
It on my arm, walked back to my seat
and placed 1t in my portmanteau.
I have been asked why l did not i'm

which was turned over to the porter and
never recovered.
About two hours after I found the
bag l casually asked the porter if any
thing had been lost OH the train An
hour later l asked the conductor where
missing articles were usually reported.
He said at the Information bureau in
Jersey City.
II made up my mind to report to Jer-
sey City"
Mrs. Ridley states she cannot under
stand how her berth check came to be
in the bag, as alleged She calls atten-
ton to the fact that no one told her
who had lost the bag until she reached
Newark, though her baggage was
searched in her absence
OF the reported loss of diamond ring,
she says:

inclined wife, a charming young
daughter. Count Won Bernstorff and
his family are at present domiciled in

their household treasures from Eu-

entirely dismantled after the death
of Baron Won Sternberg, is now in a
state Of renovation and will be newly
painted and adorned from basement to
turret.
