Two-toned velvet is much used, Whole coats of ermine are many. The stamp of approval has beer set on corduroy. The big collar is feature of the up-to-date fashions Semi-preciOus furs are used ir trimming collars and cuffs. Corsage bouquets of shaded pinl; ribbon are extremely pretty The craze for Indian bead worl, shows no signs of diminishing. Fur and velvet combine in rich models for the new evening coats. Zibelines are having quite a mod lsh revival in the dress goods realm Black revers always lend a dis tinctive touch to gown of any color
 Evening cioaks of velvet and silk brocade are gorgeous and beautiful Fancy jabots of lace, in one-sided and cascade effects, continue in favor on many of the attractive collars and plisses.
 Revers must be supple and large If velvet is used, it must be of the Softest.
 Skirts? Not so hobby, for which we are thankful. They are still scant,
 Delicately tinted cliffons embroid- cred with all-white beads are very nodish.
 The sailor collar is seen every where on jackets, evening coats, gowns and blouses.
 Bone buttons in shaded effects are very effectively used on coats of ra- tine and cloth.
 Jabots of pleated chiffon is cash mere and black and white designs are good style.
 Metal, enameled, silver and jeweled buttons figure largely on fur and fur cloth coats.
 Hatpins mounted with roses fash toned from black silk are used on mourning hats.
 Ribbon flowers of white silk flatly applied to the hat of black beaver are most effective.
 This is to be 9 fur season, and wraps and coats of sable and seal are in first fashion.
 Lace veils are still with us. But net, maline and brussels have become the greatest favorites
 Novelties appearing on the uev- outing hats are wing of suede. They are remarkably odd and pretty.
 Moire is again used for afternoon and evening. It is combined with CTS.
 Fancy bows of all descriptions have come back again, and those with touches of Roman or Persian silk are especially popular.
 Among the novelty buttons from Paris is one of china or glass, deli cately tinted from deep coral color to almost white.

OPENING THE CITY'S
 GATES FROM WITHIN

One of the earliest poems known to which had been long besieged, but did not yield until it's gates were opened from within. The allegory has an intensely modern application. The fight of cities for municipal freedom is fiercely waging in the United States. Cities desire to do for themselves the things peculiar to themselves. They seek home rule, and to shake off the domination of Legislatures over mat ters that are entirely local. The ten dency to freedom is resisted by sAecial interests Of various kinds. among which may be included railroad com panies. and public utilities monopolies such as water, gas and electric light companies.
 The control of water front and hence of transportation by railroads. is in furious to almost every city in the United States which has locat tion up on navigable water way. This dom ir:ation of cities is exercised through legislation induced by the railroads. Bridgeport has been a sufferer in a srecial sense. Her long fight for con- trcl of her own harbor and competi- tive transportation is historical. g Always the city has been defeated. And always this defeat has been ac- coInplished by the Trojan method from within. The gates of the city have been opened by the city's own citi- gems. The city's offense has been
 
 Of whom the prospect of railroad busi- ness has been more potent than the dictates of patriotism, or the maXims Of ''civie pride.'
 Some of the results of defeat are mentioned in a recent report by Her bert Knox Smith. commissioner of corporations for the United States, who comments upon the control over ; Bridgeport 'harbor exercised by the : New Haven railroad. and continues by saying:
 Probably the greatest single deter rent to water-terminal advance is the present adverse attitude of rail lines towards independent water traffic in their exclusive control of frontage. in refusal or neglect to coordinate with general water traffic. and refusal to pro-rate generally with water lines in through movement of traffic. Until this underlying relation of rail to wa ter systems is adjusted on some com mon sense basis of harmony, there is little hope of great advance in water terminal conditions.
 To this conclusive statement is called the attention of those newspapers which have vigorously fought to con- tinue railroad domination of Bridge ports waterway. The Farmer hopes that in the clearer light of moro ade- quate Information these newspapers will hereafter be found upon the side of the city ard it's manifold indus tries.
