ONLY 75CTS. FOR
ALO-OVELY GOWN
Very Dearest at High School
Show Cost Mere Seven
Dollars

NEW YORK, Dec. 27--lncome Is
not going to make particle Of differ
ence to girls of the Washington Iry-
ing High School henceforth, for IL
has been proved in the Schools dress
making department that pretty. chic,
nobby. nifty-yes, even swell" and
stunning gowns may be made Tor
75 cents to 81 apiece.
The girls who have been taking the
course had an exhibition of their
handiwork I'm the old Twelfth street
building, and the array of garments,
from lingerie to velvet suits, would
be hard to beat In a fashionable store.
The 20 seamstrcsses paraded in the
gowns they had made, and every one
of the several hundred onlookers re-
solved to take up the drossmaking
course next year.
VIII DO Wonders.
Miss Elsie Dickson, who presided
informed her audience that a dollars
worth of goods, with a little common
sense, would do wonders toward pro-
ducing an attractive and serviceablo
costume, as she and her classmates
would show. The maternal spirit was
shown by an exhibition of dainty
baby dresses, introduced by Miss DE
Chichio. Five Of her classmates held
up the articles of as complete a lay
ette as a mother could desire.
Next Miss Lucy Simon ordered
forth her parade of girls. Pretty
white graduation gowns that cost only
rs cents TO make, material and all
were contrasted with 81 street cos
tunes of velvet and cloth that looked
like $75 "creations."
Details of each course in dress.
making were explained and i'm each
case a girl walked about showing tn,
particular costume. When Miss Mat
tie Grossman told of making shirt
waists and MILDLY blouses six girls
some wearing shirtwaists and Others
middies promenaded.
Made of White Lawn.
After the meeting it was decide,
| that by far the greatest impression
/ had been made by a graduation gowi
/ that cost 75 cents. II was of whit
lawn and stylish looking, yet the lac
on Il cost one cent a yard.
The girls determined then and ther
TO do away with expensive graduation
gowns:
yes said one; lets be cour
ageous."

quickly, lets just be sensible"

GOVERNOR AND LEGISLATURE

machine governor who would approve Of all the reckless
work of legislature dominated by large majority Of his own
party would be the most expensive luxury the people could
have Look at the pressure that was brought to bear on the
absh new nstutons7 Out Of over 600 pages of new laws
over wo-hirdS of the enaCmentS are laws raising salaries
creating new obS or establishing new institutions with pay
rolls all imposing burdens on the taxpayers great many
such bills vetoed but the governor was of the oppoS
ing political party the cry was raised pass the salary grabs
over his veo and most ofthem we're passed n,that way
The constitution has been amended that cities and counties
have sole jurisdiction over such Matters and by the naye
and referendum can raise or lower salaries The time Of the
legislature should not be taken up with that kind of business
The governor is the only power that stands between the eck
less work Of legislature and the state treasury in the first
instance By the abuse Of the emergency clause the raids on
the treasury are executed and only by thegance Of gov
using the big stick placed in his hands by the veto pow
er can the people be protected The combinations formed by

who is independent of the machine and this one office should
