and the Gibson pleats give the
breadth of shoulIcr demanded in the
present modes. In white or in pin
striped black or blue an white, this
model will make one of the smart
est of waists for wear with q cloth
skirt. and give its wearer that well
set up appearance which proclaims
the woman who Knows how to
dress.
From this early showing of shirt
waists one sees that all fears for the
elimination of that useful garment
are as yet unf0unded. Indeed, it is
doubtful if women Will ever lightly
consent to give it up. Like BanquO' 5
ghost the shirtwaist will not

age there are too many business We
men who find this comfortable garb
indispensable to their peace of mind.

The Favorite Fichu Again Approved

OF all the dainty dress accessories
nothing retains a more lasting hold on
the affections of the feminine world
than the fichu. In all the history OF
fashion no one feature has been reviv-
ed with such unfailing regularity as
this. French danes of the olden time,
Quaker saints. Puritan maids and colo
nial matrons, all have recognized the
softening and beautifying effects OF
the fichu. II suffers eclipse from time
10 time, as woman with proverbial
ffckleness forgets her first love, but II
is TOO generally becoming TO remain
long forgotten. At the present time
the fchu is IN higher favor than II has
perhaps ever enjoyed before, for IN
the artistic awakening OF the day many
new and varied arrangements OF this
important piece of dress are developed
Sometimes il is worn bib fashion, with
point in front and ends drawn over the
shoulders and crossed IN the back Il

belt and a little TO the left Of the front
with a corsage bouquet Of violets,
roses or orchids. And frequently, as

the fastening in front cleverly conceal
ed under the inevitable bouquet in
this instance a single large rose being
worn. The dress itself embodies an
other noticeable feature Of recent fash
ions. and that is the unrestricted use
OF white serge or panama for dresses
for every occasion. With a dark vel
vet skirt these white dresses are styl-
ish and fascinating.
White wool has its drawbacks, for
the smoke-laden atmosphere of even
Comparatively clean CITY necessirates
more or less frequent cleaning. and
that is a drain upon the average purse.
White corduroy is also much liked, and,
although subject to the drawback just
mentioned will be worn by the slender
girl or woman who can reconcile her
conscience to frequent visits to the
French cleaner.
The smart white coats, however
have appealed 10 the taste Of woman
kind on this side of the Atlantic, and

An ambassador of the great Charlie

east, ignorant of law Of the king
that condemned TO death any one who
moved a dish at table before the ty-
rant was served, committed this of
Tense. Great king" said the ambas-

these soft, feecy, white things, envel-
oping the entire person IN It's warm
folds They are particularly fetching
with collar, cuffs and buttons Of black
or burnt orange. Violet is also ire
ouentIy seen. Instead Of velvet for
these trimmings, heavy rattne is more
often used, as being more in keeping
with the texture Of the fabric from
which the coat itself is made.
Greater skill in the combinations Of
black and white, or any other two or
more colors, has been achieved OF late,
and instead Of black garments with
plain white collars, or white with a
simple black finish, tasteful fingers
low apply a graceful braided pattern
in white soutache or rattafl braid TO
the wide black collar which graces the
modish white gown, or the black braid
on the white collar, as the case may be-
This gives a wonderfully smart ap-
pearance to an otherwise simple gown,
besides affording an opportunity for
that touch of individuality every wo-
man likes to give her gowns by having
some of her own braiding or embroid-
cry featured in their trimming.
AS a trimming, braiding is most
effective and never was it in greater
vogue than at the present time. The
woman who wants a pretty house
gown can have one now at small cost
! by the addition of a braided design
to a very simple model. This gives
a dressy touch often more pleasing
than Is obtained from a far more
elaborate costume.
q The fancy for braided effects is
carried to such lengths that one sees
it applied to every article of wo-
mans wardrobe. Kimonos, especial
ly, are braided or embroidered this
season with a degree of elaboration
never before seen and that woman
is poor, indeed, who cannot have in
her outfit one or more of these dainty
negligees. AS shown in the shops
they are a bewildering array. Every
/ imaginable material seems to be used
in making them from sheerest lin
gerie or Japanese silk all through the
range OF brightly colored and gaily
lowered cottons or woolens to the
softest and f1eeciest of blanket cloth
and eiderdown. And all of them
made dainty and feminine by the
most artistic arrangement of the

It is something of a shock in
these late fall days TO see displays
in some OF the shop windows Of the
new tailored linen shirtwaists for
next spring. Those of US who never

The council Monday night fixed the
liquor license in Plymouth at $4,000.
The motion was made by councilman
Swiudell and seconded by council
man Clizbe, and the vote on the mo-
ton was unanimous.
Councilman Bowel objected mildly
at first thinking the sum should not
be made to the limit, but he voted
for the Swindell motion when the
time came. Mr.. Swindell said that the
state legislature had given a few sa-
looms a monopoly of the business
which he believed ought not to have
been done, but since it had been done,
the proper thing for the council to
do was to put the license as high as
they could. The rules were suspended
and the motion put through to third
reading and passed finally. The ordin-
ance as passed was an amendment to
section two of ordinance No. 200
which fixed the amount of the license.
This ordinance means that the sa-
looms in Plymouth will have to pay
800 a wear, 5000 to the county and
$500 to the city.

from the bridge to Adams street
Washington and CAIRO from Water
to Walnut streets.
Let it be distinctly understood by
the roller skaters that they may still
skate on the street if they wish but
not on the sidewalks on penalty Of
arrest and S. fine. Tt was discovered
that there was already an ordinance
against roller skating on the side
walks, any where in the city. 1t was
passed Sept. 8, 1896 and in ordinance
No. 208. The council did not -vlsl
