a new feature, being cut shorter in the
front than in the back. Buttons OF

Classic Dinner Gown
The dinner gown affords an excellent
example of the combination of classic
simplicity with modern smartness. The
underdress is of ivory tulle embroidered
IN gold; the tunic being of sinuous
satin, slightly darker in shade than the
tulle and fringed in dull-gold bullion,
through the top of which is run wide
silk, closely harmonizing the different
ribbon twisted through the embroidery
of the sleeve gives finishing touch
that stamps it as Partisan creation.
Handsome Black Costume
Since the black gown is decidedly the
most smart thing of the season, the de-
butante may at last satisfy her longing
tor costume of black velvet without
fear of the accusation of having bor-
rowed from her grandmother ward
robe. The skirt is of the circular-gored
type, with a wide hem at the bottom.
The drapery falls over the left hip and
disappears i'll the center folds Of the
back of the skirt at the right side, being
caught just above the knee with a let
buckle. The giTdle is of the soft folds
OF the velvet cut on the bias and SEEM
ing to be part of the waist. The
sleeves are moderately large and loose
at the top and laid in soft folds below
the elbow, where the dead luster is
relieved by six tiny jet buttons, and very
fine transparent ruffles of soft cream
linen OF almost cobweb-like texture, the
yoke being of drawnwork to simulate
tiny cobwebs and of the same material
as the rufies of the sleeve and chou.
Curled Caps from Paris
Hair caps for all occasions are the
very latest aids to beauty, and comfort
that the ingenious Frenclwoman has in
vented. l he lining is a sort of hair
webbing, into which little c,srls are
| woven, sometimes as many as twenty OF
these to a cap, but others have only
eight. They are kept in box that is
| highly scented, 20 that, as the head
moves, the curls give off a pleasant
| OdOr
The woman who uses them does her
own hair up on top of her head i'll a
| tight knot. Around her hat is sewed
pretty coil of hair, so that when she
puts on her hat she is ready for the
street, and need not wear all the hair
she owns in a cumbersome coiffure,
Then, when she arrives home, she take.
off her hat and the cap is real boon.
She. just pins the cap on top of her
head with four amber pins, shaped like
buckles, to hold it in place. At the back
is wide satin bow of blue, or some
other color, which serves to prop up tho
ediice and inpart a dressy look.
There are caps for breakfast, caps for
luncheon, caps for afternoon wear on ata
home days, caps for the evening. In the
latter the curls are shorter and there
are more of them.
Undoubtedly all these caps are won-
derful convenience, saving infinite tina
and trouble. Needless to say, they ara
i becoming widely popular.

By dissolving certain amount at one

THE HEIGHTS OF EVERYWHERE

BY GERTRUDE b. HAMILTON.
Could | sing song, out to the world,
To bring tears to the hearts of men;
Could | make a merry laughing tale
Flow, ripping from my pen;
| would sing, | would write, and send
my heart,
As brook to the river runs,
Not where the plenty of love abides;
| would sing to the lonely ones.
I would sing to lives that know not the
smile
Of eyes that understand;
I would write to hearts that weep the
while,
For the help of comrade hand.
Out to the heights of everywhere,
Had I song at command,
/ would send my laughter smiles and
tears,
To the dwellers of Lonely Land

up the idea introduced without much
success iii the winter of cutting sleeves
in one with the garment, thus obviating
the seam on the shoulder and around
the arm. At first it was confined TO
evening wraps, but now this novelty is
employed in toilcttcs for street wear.

coat is slightly bloused all around over
the closc-htting belt. The belts are
greatly elaborated upon, being richly
embroidered and ornamented with large
rnother-ofpearl buttons, which are also
used in trimming the coats With them
are worn blouses the color of the silt,
usually of .diaphanous material or the
new striped crepe Long stoles Of
shirred black net or velvet and lined
with fur are worn with these suits.
They may reach to either the hem OF
the dress or the hem Of the coat, and
are worn alone or with the new velvet

for the black suit in cloth or velvet.
Since then it has been growing in popu-
larity. For blonde, black and gold
form the most dangerously fascinating
combination. For a restaurant gown, a
mantle of black net, lined with old-gold
and edged with sable, covers soft,
lightweight black velvet gown the
bodice OF which is of silk and lace, half
concealing the CLINT of gold that is made
into tiny roses nesting beneath the lace,
The hat is one of the new variety of
Haunting black lace, trimmed with a
single large black rose of silk and vel
vet, with a gold center, thus completing
this wicked-looking costume, the dark
ling shadows of which would delight the
eye of an artist
Blues, from soft Wedgwood satin OF
simple, silvery beatty, straight through
the gamut to deep, brilliant Royal
blue yelled in black, make up some
most fetching frocks for afternoon and
restaurant wear.
Greens in every conceivable shade and
combination of tone are much in evil

Costumes of All White
The costume of all white was one of
the surprises of midwinter. 1t was
taken up rather hesitatingly at first, but
now it is accepted as one of the chic
things of the year.
Such gowns are spoken Of as white,
but in reality they are cream for after
noon wear. 1t is only for evening toll
cites that pure white is used.
AS for trimmings, the smartest street
clothes are severely plain, without
superhuous button or stitching Draped
models have landings, frogs and braid
ings. For buttons, cut steel and jet arc
the favorites.

Hoffman, First Branch Councilman from
the Twenty-fourth wardof Baltimore city,
have been presented by the Grand Jury
on the charge Of conspiring to bride, in
connection with national gas ordinance
recently under consideration in the Bal
timore city council.

Ten widely known men of Pittsburg,
including bankers, physicians, and poll
ticians, convicted of bribery and corrup-
ton, have been sentenced to serve eight
months in jail and to pay ineof $500.
These thugs were proved guilty of cor.
rupting the servants of the people for
private gain. They committed the most
heinous of crimes, that of debauching the
ballot boz and buying outright men who
were elected to represent the public
interests. Had they robbed at midnight
or shot down inoffensive citizens in cold
blood they could not have done worse.
Yet they are let off with eight months
and small fine, and some petty thief or
other lawbreaker is given sentence of a
tenn of years for an offense trivial in com
parison, yet this is the way with our So
called courts of justice.

Objects TO Anti. Saloon League In
Local Campaign.

The Cecil Wing objects to what it terms
the interference of the Anti Saloon
League in the local option campaign in
Cecil county, and under the caption OF
Dangerous Interference" publishes the
following editorial in its last issue;
Many Of the friends of Local Option
il this county are not taking kindly to
the uncalled for and unwise interference Of
the Anti-Saloon League in our camgaign
arrangements. The temperance people
Of Cecil have been waging their fights in
their own way, with their own forces, and
have won two straight victories with in
creasing majorities. Our eight straight
years of local option experience
have seemed to settle the question in
most peoples minds. and it has been
quite generally conceded that another
victory would await us next November.
But now comes along the Anti-Saloon
League and insists on taking hand. The
minute that organization steps in, that
minnie many of orr truest and most tried
temperance workers will stay ont. They
decline to be hooked up with the Anti
Saloon League, for reasons into which we
need not now enter. Suffice it to call
attention to the fact that our temperance
contests ii this county have been, hereto
fore, most happily free from any faint OF
partisan politics. while those of us who
have fought bitterly as political oppon-
ents In other matters. have joined hands
cordially In this common cause. In this
spirit of fraternity, and with thorough
familiarity as to all local conditions, we
have gone on from victory to victory.
We deplore the prospect of any marring
Of this situation. We do not like to con-
template any weakening of our forces.
#, however, these things shall come, let
It be understood that they come from the
interference of the AntiSaloon League

Reasons For Election OF Senators
BY The People.

Senator Robert l. Owen, of Oklahoma,
in his powerful speech on the election of
United States senators by popular vote.
delivered in the Senate on May 80, cited
the following as reasons why the people
wish this proposed reform:
First-It will make the senate of the
Uuited States more responsive to the
wishes of the people of the United States.
Second-It win prevent the corruption
Of legislatures.
Third-It will prevent the improper use
of money in the campaigns before the
electorate by men ambitious to obtain a
seat In the senate of the United States.
Fourth-It will prevent the disturbance
and turmoil of state legislatures and the
interferences with state legislation by the
violent contests of candidates for posi-
kion in the United States senate.
Fifth-It will compel candidates for the
United States senate to be subjected to
the severe scrutiny of campaign before
the people and compel the selection OF
best-ftted men.
Sixth--It will prevent deadlocks, due
to political contests in which various
states from time to time have been thus
LEFT unrepresented.
Seventb-It will popularize govern
ment and tend to increase tire confidence
of the people Of the United States in the
senate of the United States. which has
been TO some extent impaired in recent
years.

The Illinois senatorial scandal has at
tracted attention throughout the world,
and everyone seems surprised that q
United States Senator should purchase
his election. Be that as it may, the
thing doubtless has been done before,
only has not been so clearly proven as in
this instance. When Lorimer was elect
"a through the aid Of democratic votes il
was very apparent that there was some
thing going on behind the scenes. The
proofs are 50 plain that there is univer-
sal demand that the Senator resign or be
kicked out. He may continue in Office
for time. but he will eventually find
public sentiment so strong against him,
that he will be only glad too resign"

Wednesday afternoon for Miss
Amanda Nelson of Milan, who is to
be the bride of L. Chambers of this
city, this fall. There we're about 40
guests, lady friends OF the bride-to-
be. The affair was in the nature
of a miscellaneous shower and Miss
Nelson received many beautiful and
useful gifts. The house was pref
tily decorated IN autumn leaves and
flowers. Pretty red bells were sus-
pended underneath the chandeliers
and doorways. The afternoon was
spent in music and a general good
time. Mrs. Castrey of this city won
a beautiful plate in the bean guess
ing contest. Miss Helen Dean won
the other prize. Another diversion
was the eating Of fortune cake, y
which contained a ring and key, a
pair of scissors and several thimbles
and pennies. A delicious lunch was
served by the hostess. The an
nouncement of the approaching mar
riage of the young people will be
