them have an air of simplicity. Unluckiy

one of the loveliest models we have seen
the small cuts, a duh pink chiffon of eN-
quisite tone yelling a bordered Persian
silk. The bottom Of the skirt, the girdle
and plated bands are Of dun pink silk and
there is a line Of creamy white finishing
the collarless neck. So much one can
describe, but TO give an idea Of the lovely
melting color harmonies Of the Persian
tones and their old pink veiliHg is a hope
less task; and lacking comprehension OF
that one has but little understanding of
the models beauty.
Persian design and color gives the cachet
TO a model from Lafelviers, but Nhis time
the Persian effect appears only inB border

Stripes are slowly but surely gaining
ground. and many OF the prettiest late
models are IN wide or narrow stripes, gray
and white or white and black belng a

belted coat and a skirt whose front breadth
was plain, while around sides and back
the skirt was pulled into the waistband
and drawn into a plain band at the bot
tom. This band was about a foot and a
half deep, with the plain front breadth,
made the bottom of the skirt measure not
more than two yards, If that. Above the
fulness hooped out, barrelwise, and a more
ridiculous silhouette it would be hard TO
imagine, yet the costume was Of good ma
terials and the wearer shuffled and minced
alongside could not walk freely-proudly
convinced that the heads of all the passers-
by turn to watch her progress because of
profound admiration.
The peasant skirt is unquestionably
adapted only to house wear, and even
there 1t must be a gem of its kind, so,
mesdames, unless you can afford to en-
ploy a dressmaker Of the highest class
turn your back upon the Poiret skirt,
Fortunately there are plenty Of graceful
models of other types, though it must be
confessed that a majority of the French

frocks Where the foundation is white
a vivid relieving note Of color almost al
ways appears. 1t may be only in a girdle
or in a yelled scarf or bodice or skirt or it
may be a deep band on the bottom of the
skirt repeated in a girdle,
Last week we spoke of a very successful
nrecoll evening frock which illustrates
this last arrangement, and a sketch of this
model is given in the central group today.
Here the material is a light, supple white
satin trimmed in fine black lace.
The lace wells the entire bodice and forms
frills on the c~linging skirt, but the striking
feature of the model is the exquisite shade
Of cerise satin which forms the lower part
Of the skirt and the girdle. Black tulle
is draped around the top'of the girdle and
knotted in front and white tulle is used for
the frllls of the short sleeves and for the
tiny tucker.
Another good looking model in white,
black and color is from Martial & Armand

frock is OF white brocade yelled in black

Black lace Is draped below the yelled band

OF the tendency TO hold the skirt full

often, but only as the season sdvances
are the disastrous developments Of this
mode seen. Verify Poiret, the revolution

himself so forcibly upon the dressmaking

trouble with this skirt is that 1t demands
a master artist hand in the designing, and
unfortunately, the master artists OF dress

bright color to liven the scheme. A smart
black and white mousseline de sole in inch
wide stripes is made with a double skirt in
two equally deep pleated sections. The
plating is so done that at the top of the
flounce only the white shows, while toward
the bottom the skirt flare necessitates so
pressing the plaits that the black shows in
long slender points.
At the top of the lower flounce a soft
black satin scarf is drawn round the skirt
and knbtted, the result being that the
upper flOunce has an air of belonging with
the plated and girdled bodice in Russian
fashion rather than with the skirt.
The sleeves are plated horizontally, the
collarless neck has a flat finish Of white
lace, the skirt is short, the girdle is OF
black satin and into this girdle is thrust
a knot OF little red and pink roses, which
give just the right relieving note.
Soft gray and white mousseline yelled in
gray or in dull pink has been chosen for
some good looking models, and there are
some lovely things in China blue and white
stripes yelled in black.
The grays stand particularly well, and
the delicate grays in particular are more
popular than they ave been in some time.
Some of the most distinguish frocks
shown by the importers are IN a wonder

this overskirt is a band of beautiful black

this band one sees vaguely through the
chiffon a wide band of cream ace set into
the crepe foundation.
The flat plain chiffon bodice with the
usual Japanese sleeve has bands Of black
lace on the bottom OF the sleeve and about
the neck below a little guimpe and collar

chiffon Is set into the collar just below

made over cream lace. The effect Is refined
and charming to an extraordinary degree,
and there are other gray models Of the
same general type which should delight
conservatives who want the modish but
not the conspicuous.
A surprising number of dressy after
noon frocks are made short, and the trot-
ting skirt shows a tendency TO carry the
short skirt idea to extremes, but women
are as a rule requiring a little more length
than the extreme models suggest. Some
of these walking skirts are uncomfortably
narrow at bottom, but there are numerous
m9de.s in which some arrangement OF
plaits supplies enough width for comfort

desired straight limp lines.
The Norfolk jacket is receiving consid-
cradle attention from tailors as the season
develops. This is a natural sequence to
the belted Russian lines, and some of the
Omaha daily bee., 1910-04-03

loosely-belted Norfolk coats are very
jaunty and attractive, though they have an
u%ndeniably youthful air. They are perhaps
at their best in the light, loose-woven
homespuns and tweeds, etc, but w have
seen good Norfolk and near Norfolk mod
els in the serges.
The most MISUNDERSTANDING tailored cos
tunes are of decided severity and the coats
range all the way from t~hree-quarter
length to bolero, though the half-length
coat is the general favorite.
Pongees, ~taffetas and foulards are all
being pressed into service for the tailored
trottlng costume, and the coat and skirt
or coat and frock models in dotted dark
blue and white foulard, strictly tailored
and bound with plain dark blue, have been

houses. Patent leather belts are used upon
these, as upon almost any and every type
of frock save the evening frock, and wide
leather belts OF all kinds figure consplcu-
ously IN the seasons costumes.
Norfolk coats with wide patent leather
belts are liked for white serge sporting
costumes. and the French makers use the
patent leather belt upon such dressy little
frocks as the gray and white net Of the

PENSION BILLS
 ARE NU MBERLESS

Washington, November 29.-No general pension legislation is expected at the coming session of Congress. The most important measure now before Congress designed to remove the restriction which has kept many widows of soldiers off the pension rolls is on the Senate cal endar; but Senator McCumber chairman of the Senate pension committee and other members of the committee, are not in favor of further consideration of the bill.
 Widows who married soldiers after June 27. 1S90 are now barred from receiving pensions. The bill before the Senate isl to remove this restriction This would add approximately s2o,O0O,00o to the pen sion rolls.
 Thousands of private pension bills are pending before the two houses of Con- gress. All of these measures that have been approved by the committees will be submitted for passage and members of the Senate committee expect that from 2500 to 5000 such bills will be passed. Most of these are to increase pensions where the general law does not give sufficient authority. The pension appro- priation bill will not exceed S145, GOO, it is believed For the present fiscal year the appropriation is about $155000,O0O.

FORMAL REPORT
 ON CHARITIES WORK Handled 743 Applications Dur
 ing Six Months
NEED FOR COOPERATION
Local Association Finds Tint sickness Has Been Greatest Cause of Flnnn- ciaI Distress-McGrnth
 Talks of Work

The report of the Associated Charities for the first six months of it's exlstenee' ending November 1, has just been issueo and shows the effective work which this new institution is accomplishing.
 During that time 743 applications for re- lief have been handled by Secretary w. M. McGrath and his corps of assistants In this number 449 families were con cerned with a total number of 163S in- dividuals affected. Of these cases relief was given and the individuals set back on their feet to be self-supporting in So5 instances. This is the object of the Asso- eiated Charities, and through the coop eration of the citizens alone can it be carried out.
 It is important that every case of need be reported to the Associated Charities, that it may be carefully listed, and du- plicated on the part of different charita- ble agencies prevented. While there has been some disposition to get into the spirit of the movement the advantages and value of the organization have never been impressed on the average citizen. Of the applications during the six months, 30 were reported by local so cieties, 23 by societies in other cities, g by the Mayors office. by the police, by the probate judge 65 by citizens in person and 45O in person.
 The greatest cause of financial dis tress has been sickness, this having fig ured in 24O cases, and accident in 19s, old age in IA, lack of employment in 54, widowhood in 50 and assertion in 36. There were 27 tubercular patients handled during that time.
 Wherever the parties were deserving, aid was given until something could be done to remove the cause of distress. Work was secured for 67 purchases of books for 2, food for 254, clothing for 21, shoes for Il, rent paid for Il, furniture for 9, milk and eggs for g, medical at tention given to 20, IS were buried, and are listed in the report.
 More than 100 letters and telegrams were sent by the secretary as no person was ever helped until it was proven that he was deserving, and transportation was never granted until good cause for the removal could be found. There were II applications for transportation 31 granted and 4S refused.
 In discussing the report MT. McGrath said: We are now in great need of friendly visitors 10 keep in touch with these cases after we have handled them to encourage and keep them up to the mark. We now have two, but could use a dozen.
 "The Mayors office is cooperating with us perfectly. The police only re- ported eight cases, and I intend to ask Chief Bodeller to call the attention of the officers to their duty in this re- snect L.,

than it is by the double tracks of the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company on other streets that are at present more congested.
 I really think if is time for the citizens to take serious notice of this project and to give it consideration due an enterprise of it's magnitude Anything honorable and right, looking to the protection from any monopoly every citizen ought to appreciate and lend his influence to an extent of geL- 1 ting relief. The present company Ea now using certain streets for the pur- pose of freight traffic, and so far as 1 know there isRno specially great h. convenience to the public. Certainly the merchants and citizens living out from the center are vastly more convent enced by the street railway company handling goods promptly than the public Is inconvenienced by having these electric trains run over the streets
 I am not going into details on the subject, because it Is the province of the city officials to do this but in a general way l wish to express my views as being in favor of granting privileges to any legitimate concern that will relieve the city of Birmng- ham from a monopoly.
