bitter and determined attack upon
their franchises and upon their meth
DDS. They knew. Of course. that they
held the aldermen In their hands;
that In their close alliance with the
Sachem society. the organization that
they wanted In defiance of any public
sentiment whatsoever.
Gormly had made one blunder: but
like n brilliant soldier he had sue
ceeded in turning II to his advantage.
One advertisement was succeeded by
another. The Gotham Freight Trac-
ton company was made the subject OF
scathing criticism and bitter attack
OF which the Sachem society and the
party in power came In for a large
share. And men everywhere began
asking what was to be done about II.
In previous campaigns the party out
of power had been led by a series OF
forlorn hopes. men enthusiastic In
their devotion to the cause OF reform
aud not noted for much OF anything
else. The leaders OF the outs took no
tice OF Gormly. Inquiries began to
be made about him: his business
methods were investigated: his 70
sources were discussed: his character
, was analysed: his career made the
subject Of study. From being merely
a name attached to q familiar institu-
ton. he became within one month one
Of the great personalities OF New
York. The situation was Intoxicating.
Incidentally. he did not lose In the
estimation Of Miss Haldane by this
exploitation Of himself. which he had
so cleverly managed that no one
dreamed II was due to his own motion.
Even In those exclusive circles In
which Miss Haldane moved. which are
ordinarily Indifferent to any happen
sphere. some account OF Gormly and
his doings. penetrated. That he was
rich and a bachelor were the most in
terestins facts which appealed to this
! set. Men and women there began TO
inquire a. to who he was. II was Miss
Haldane's privilege and pleasure TO
enlighten them so far as she could.
without betraying the nature q their
! confidential relation.
There were several papers on the
side OF the administration. which were
owned and controlled by the party In
power. that would have been glad
indeed to have discredited Gormly:
but the closest scrutiny revealed moth
ing In his life that could be used for
that purpose. Where he had come
from was not known; but for the last
quarter OF a century at least his
course had been traced with consid
cradle accuracy. and indeed there va,

Ratine CIoakings.

A. great deal of interest is expressed in
ratine cloths for fall. There seems TO
question that they will be considerably
used by all of the best houses. The new
idea is, of course the doIble-faced finish,
ana beautiful lines in two colors revers-
ible or in plain colors with plaid back
are being shown.
Colors in cloakings arc both dark and
dull In double-faced materials we see
such combinations as navy blue and dark
red. two shades of havana brown. sage
green and beige, duh blue ard mode
navy and taupe. bordeaux red and OK
ford gray. olive green and khaki.
The newest ratine cloths are lightweieht
and thin also. The first of these cloths
brought out last year were much heavier.
and were found to be clumsy, and. there
fore, were not great success. This sea-
sons offerings are much thinner. and are,
therefore. expected to please.
Diagonal and boucle weaves are both
being shown in ratine novelties. These
diagonal effects are in both one and two
tone colorings, often lighter shade. such
as blue or bordeaux illuminates the back
ground. while the boucle knots are In
black. These materials are called We
lours dc iaine" as we'll as ''ratine.'

you feel the face contracting or the brow

Excellent for these tense lines is daily
bathing of the face with sour milk. When
