FUR TRIMMING THE VOGUE

Surely there never was time when
the economical woman could more
gladly bring out from the moth balls
all the fur she has inherited and
bought. She can have it dipped and
combed and put it on every gown that
she will wear this winter. The
nightgown is almost the only robe
that Is not fur trimmed, and one
would not be surprised to see one APP
pear with an edge of sable at sleeves
and hem.
Sable is in first style for everything.
1t is used in 15-inch borders on eve
ming wraps, in ten-inch borders on
afternoon gowns, and in three-inch
borders ON ball gowns. On the latter
It is combined, or rather held down
at intervals, with huge dull red silk
roses. One sees it combined with
flowers on great majority of gowns,
not for street wear, of course, but
for all manner of house occasions.

otter, as well as its natural condi-
ton, is very fashionable and is used
on chiffon and satin or tunics and
coats.
Narrow edges of all the brown furs
are run on sleeves and the drapery
on the bodice, and one sees it also
on tabs that hang from the waist in
severe elongated directoire fashion.
It is supreme in millinery. Hats
for all hours are trimmed with 1t.
Every turban is to have q border Of

woman who has any Of 1t in good

better.
If she wants this hat for afternoon
wear she can have one rose at the
side or front preferably huge. dull
red one. This black-red tone, which
is the color of blood, is very much
the fashion in gowns, in wraps and
especially in roses.

Nelson was expected to arrive was
late, but that he would be here today
to call the meeting to order.
AS was expected, the Democratic
members and Mr. Madison, of Kansas,
the insurgent Republican, who on Fri
day made public their findings which
condemned the official acts of Secre-
tary Ballinger, failed to attend.
All the Republican members with
the exception of Senators Nelson and

absence will result in no quorum be-

However it was reported that Sem

cast Mr.. Flint's vote with the majority
of the Republicans.
If this is done action on the question
as to whether the Republican findings

DALEY Tells HOW
TARIFFS were MADE

how the increased tariffs were made
up was shed by Charles P. DAILY, under
cross examination yesterday before
the interstate commerce commission
now inquiring into the proposed in
creased freight rates in the eastern
territory.
Mr.. DAILY said that each road had
decided on it's own increases in rates
and the railroad representatives then
met in this city to make the raise uni
form.
"It would be suicidal for each road
to have different rate" said Mr..
DAILY. Protection of commercial in
terests in the different sections de-
mand a uniform base.
Counsel tried to learn if the pro-
posed advance was contemplated be-
fore the recent wage increases be-
came a fact, but Mr.. DAILY would not
admit 1t.
