waistcoast was added a tiny edge of skunk Gray-tinged embroidered net laid over the green mOusseline de sole made the blouse. It is trimmed with touches of jet and black velvet and belted with green ribbon, cunningly mingled, and fastened with a buckle of old silver.
 About Christmas the satin coat will be replaced by short black velveteen one. Worn with her furs it will con- stitute a good winter rig.
 If she had become tired of the black satin suit and had possessed dainty fingers, possibly it would have been better for her to change it into one piece gown and put all her money into a new corduroy suit or long coat of velvet or plush. This coat could be worn either day time or evening and with a white satin foundation, a black and green tunic, there would be no end of changes, especially with the assist ance of hats.
 Fur trimmings add a touch of gOr- geousness that is often deceptive. Near ly every woman is mailing the style of using fur in strips, for there is harly a woman who doesn't possess fur of some kind which is too old to use any other way It is beautiful way to get rid of those which are moth eaten in spots and the applying of fur is really not such a difficult matter at all.
 It must be cut on the wrong side with a pen knife so that the hair is not cut. If one wants it to look heavy and thick it should be turned under at the edge, but ordinarily it is not turned under at all. The care must then be not to catch the fur down with the thread.
 There are small touches with which any woman can bring q gown up to date; the band of fur or marabou of four-another is the velvet sash. There is no end to the number and variety of bows, loops and rosettes used in the fastening of gowns, especially to catch them up somewhere so that they have a half-draped effect A little gown of black velvet with a wide braid panel dropping from the bust to the knees, where it ended in a heavy fringe, had sash of the same braid slipped under the panel at the waist line and tied in the back in a stiff three-loop bow, hanging in long ends to the hem of the skirt. This wide black braid is truly charming and a great novelty. The fad for it now amounts to furore.
 The new brocades are doing their share toward impressing everyone with the lavishness of modern modes. But their serviceability refutes to a great extent any extravagant idea of it. As compared to the billowy materials out of which gowns have been built in re- cent years. it will wear like leather. Both the brocaded velvet and brocaded satin clean nicely and the colors are simply ravishing They combine beau tifully with both voile chiffon and plain satin. This combining of two or three materials is another boon, by-the-by to economical women, and she who is clever will not rush to an expensive maker with dainty old things in this time of simplicity. but will learn how to combine and furbish up herself. Ir this way it pays-she will do it more care fully than the cheap dressmaker.

THE DAY OF THE IMPEcUNIOUS.

Are these eXtravagant days in the matter of raiment? Almost any wom- an you know would pipe up quickly and answer:
 | Well, they most decidedly arei" Certainly, everything looks luxuri- ous and gorgeous to a degree. But one has only to inquire bit into materials and methods to reach the conclusion that the present extravagance is in ap- pearance only. Never were lines so simple and never have gowns required so little material.
 The main need of the present moment is a little leisure and then delft fingers With these requirements put into serv- ice a clever woman will find herself possessed of a lovely wardrobe for lit- tie money, but-she must confine her self to few cOlors, and, thanks be, the smartness of black this season is going to be her first aid.
 Here is a way to figure it out, if one takes black, white and one color for the winters scheme. Of course, gold or silver may be added. Tine hats and all other accessories for the black and white costumes can be worn equally well with the gowns of pronounced color, turning the three tones into end less combinations. We all know the wisdom of having on hand few gar ments at one time.
 A tailored costume and the reception gown in black are by far the smartest this year. Corduroy black broadcloth and rough black stuff with white pin stripe are the reliable materials.
 Last summer a woman provided her self with a street costume of good black satin, comprising a short, fashionably- but not excessively-scant skirt, with half long coat semi fitted and q slight ly raised waist line at the back. Save few buttons, silk cord edging cuffs and collar, there was no trimming. At tached to it was a little waistcoaat of gray silver lace laid over green silk, which matched the lining of the coat: there was no trimming. With the white lace and lingerie blouses this costume was worn until late in September. Then it was taken to the tailor. He placed at the bottom of the skirt a band of velvet measuring nearly half yard in depth, and ending at each side of the front breadth with line of tiny black satin button. This imparted to the skirt the fashionable panel effect. On the coat he put a wide flat velvet col lar of the new form, not too wide at the back, but broad across the shoulders, reaching a little over the tops of the sleeves, giving a nice broad effect to the back Wide pointed revers. also of velvet, turned widely back in front and were held to the collar by fancy but tons and by corded false buttonholes. At the end of the revers the coat was held together over the bust by two but tons and a cora ornament. To the

PHOENIX. ARIZONA, NOV. g. 1916
Why the Delay?

Over one-half of the time allotted by congress for ArizOna's. constitu- ti.naI convention has been consum- ed.
 The net result of more than four weeks of constitution building" is a single clause of the proposed consti- tution-the clause which abolishes the grand jury.
 Everything else seems to be in a nebulous condition.
 Why there is need of so much delay nobody is able to explain.
 New Mexicos constitution will be completed and presented to the peo- pie for ratification or rejection with in a few days.
 New Mexico has framed constitu- tion which in all probability will re- ceive approval at Washington this winter, before the close of the ses- sion of congress which ends on March f.
 It appears to be the aim of the delegates in the Arizona convention to fool away the time so as to make it impossible for Arizona to be con- sidered as the same time New Mex ico's constitution is under considera- tion.
 That the chances for the admission of Arizona will be greatly lessened by the separation of the two territories in the consideration of their respec- tive claims at Washington is ob- vious to everybody except the wise politicians who have control of the Arizona machine.
 After republican New Mexico has shown herself ready and acceptable to a republican congress, the same re- publican congress will be more than pleased to find that Arizona is both unready and unacceptable.
 We understand that the politicians who are running the Arizona conven- ton figure that their chances will be better in the next congress, anyhow. They have assumed that yesterdays elections would return the democrats to power.
 They overlooked the fact that, mo- thing but a political revolution could dislodge the republicans from control of the United States senate.
 They have overlooked the fact, patent to every thinking person, that the very size of the democratic victory in the nation this year will lead the republican leaders in the senate to avail themselves of any excuse here after to defeat the admission of Ari- zona and two democratic senators.
 Judging from all indications, the constitution which our convention will frame will stand none too good a show at best. But good tactics and common sense require that Arizona and New Mexico be considered to- gether at Washington.
 Why should it take so much time to frame a constitution?
 The gentlemen who make up the democratic majority in the convention are presumably the most intelligent men their party could put forward they will cordially admit the fact
 With the constitution of the United States and the constitutions of all the states before then. the delegates should be able to write a constitution time for play.
