will be no opposition to his election.
If it did come to a test it is openly
stated the Regulars would have a

Mr.. Woolston has been chairman for
a month or more, Charles l.. Williams
retiring when his father died. Mr.
Williams was to have been the oppo-

struggle for the craftsmanship had been
f~orecasted, but that opposition has
now dwindled away and it is not ex-
pected Mr.. Woolston will have the
least show of opposition. The Progress
slves said today they had no candi-

Henry p. Baldwin, a Progressive. is
the vice-ehairman. and it is likely he
will seek reelection, but the Regulars

straight jacket the large hat and the
other prevailing styles in such a way
that we'll dressed women no longer look
freakish; they are fashionable without
being grotesque. as they were In the
beginning Of the present fashion.
Those who really care for artistic
lines and for convenience in clothes de-
voutly wish that the present style win
not change. This is especially true
when we have to face a revival OF the
1850 styles as an alternative 70 the
ones we now accept There was moth
ing attractive about the Victorian
period in clothes. and no one but Eu-
genie herself looked well n the mon
strous fashions OF the second empire.
Familiarity may breed tolerance and
approval. but the present styles. much
