Striking Features
Of the
Neu Spring
Suits

HERE is one good point about
the spring suit this year: coats
are made In lengths to suit the
figure. The stout woman is not
given short coat, while the slight
woman who looks her best in a hip
length jacket may have 1t. While the
short coats are decidedly to the fore,
the hip and the three-Quarter lengths
are shown. too.
AS to skirts, suit skirts, those de-
signed for street wear beneath long
coats or for house wear. all are mar.
row, though some are slashed at the
left or at the side, revealing a drop
skirt sometimes most deliberately
trimmed with braid. Others are cut
in the simulated tunic effect.
Summarizing the salient features OF
the spring suit are the following
ideas: The hipless figure continues;
there is gradual return Of the nor
NAL waist line; the sleeves are three
quarter and full length and usually
set In plain at the armhOles; there Is
IA slight increase in skirt width. but
the straight line continues. The suit
jackets vary in length, though the lat.
est Paris report is that the tendency
is entirely toward the extremely short
jacket. A great many of the tailored
suits are semi-tailcred; there Is a use
of fabric trimming In form of self.
covered cords and folds. There is q
large use Of silk. particularly taffeta,
for these demi-taiOrcd models.
Cutaway Effects More Popular.
As the season advances the vogue
for cutaway effects. seems to be on
the increase. Many of the late models
are cut away to an extreme point in
the back and fastened just below the
bust in front. Shopkeepers realize.
however, that garment Of this type
is extremely difficult to wear and they
are modifying these cutaway coats SO
as to make them bit more practical.
The majority of the cutaway models
shown in the shops are not cutaway
until they come below the waist line,
and then are cut in either round or
pointed effect, both being in favor.
AS trimmings are confined largely
to the collars, revers and cuffs of the
suits, these are given great deal OF
attention. and it is frequently the cut
of a collar or a rever that makes or
mars the entire costume. Shawl col
lars are again seen, but in most in.
stances they do not have as large
revers as in the last season. The
nctched collar and the small revers OF
mannish cut also are seen on many
of the models and are well liked.
Collars and Cuffs OF Null.
Piquc. as well as lingerie, collars
and cuffs made of fine null or batiste
edged with lace also are employed
collars are either bastcl or button"d
on SO that they may be readily
tubbed. Machine and hand cmbroi-
derry is used on some of the suits, but
only sparingly.
In the plain tailored suits the regu-
lation coat sleeve is seen almost en-
TREY. In the drcssier models they
are making number Of set in sleeves,
cut with a little fullneSs below The
elbow and finished off with a deep
cuff. These are usually thyee-quartcIs
or seven-eighths length and are es-

True Economy.

Women are slow to learn that the
wisest economy often means an out
lay Of money that may seem reckless
squandering. Re consistent in your
economy. Don't try to save on the
necessities of life. To do so Is false
economy. But practice your econo-
mics on those things you do not
actually need-the Injuries of life.

summer season advances.
An attractive navy blue mohair

the use of tailOrs braid and tailOr's
buttons of black silk, which outline
many of the seams and panels of the
coats and skirts. The jacket was
twenty-seven inches long and was OF
straightline cut. The center back
ranel extended through from the
shoulders. while across the front and
sides the basque was set on. The
lines were emphasized by the braid

Lace Cellar In Open Pattern.
An interesting new feature OF the
model was an open pattern lace collar
which was in shawl shape cut low,
descending considerably below the
normal waist line in front. This col.
lar was formed of heavy crochet point
in champagne color. 1t was edged
with narrow plaitings of black tulle.

satin.
The skirt was simple. In three
pieces, center back panel and two
side panels, which overlapped each
other to form the front. All over
tapping edges were bound with braid
and at the fronts and the sides
tunic effect was given by the trim
mings of braid and buttons. The
skirt was only medium narrow, meas
uring fifty.six inches at the bottom.
1t was hung from belt about two
and one.half inches deep.
Among the new belts are inch wide
belts of fine Morocco leather in high
colors, the design being formed by in
terlaciug narrow strips Of cut leath-

ancient leather work and is most ar

Other Forms on GlrdIe Order.
Other forms Of leather belts, more
on the girdle order. are several inches
wide at the back and curve slightly In
the front. So far the use of leather
belts has been confined largely to the
simple jackets. many of which are In
the belted style.

strongly on the horizon of fashions.

 In his charge to the grand jury in the Naples case at Huntsville he took the ground that Naples was lynched because he was negro; that the of- tense was a conspiracy and viola ton of the federal laws They were actually instructed to find bills. The radical force bills of reconstruction days, suppressing state courts and state authority, was the only thing that ever equaled this charge in devilish intent and destructive consequences.
 MT. Taft's charges before the Mas sachusetts and Ohio primary that you discharged the negro troops at Browns evidently made to secure votes, and was nasty proposition. The supreme court turned our judge down. The peo pie repudiated Mir Taft.
 At the Chicago convention there were more cases of peonage than tver occurred in Alabama. Negroes were held to the verity of the contract and state delega- tions were ruthlessly turned out, men of the highest standard have been fired from governmental employment, not for failure of duty, but because they preferred one man for President to another. It looks to me that a judge who has made so much of Alabama'S sporadic cases of peonage, even to Mexicanizing the fair name of a state where there has been only one con- viction, should adjourn his grand jury to Chicago and investigate the peonage charges there would suggest also that the same judge be investigated on the charge of holding thousands of his fellow citizens of Alabama in restraint while his old friend and employer, the Louisville and Nashville railroad, pillages them. Very sincerely yours, B. B. CONFER.

 ures others find in staying at crowded hotels, in rushing to distant states, on hot and poorly ventilated sleepers, and in eating things one MUST eat when it's the joys of the road one has fared forth to find, even the ones who declare they can be more comfortable staying at home than going anywhere, must concede that there is a benefit in a change of scenery, in losing ones own people for while, even in being deprived of the comforts of home that no hotel, however luxurious, can supply, in fasting from the food one likes, in doing without ones dearest and best friends, if only in the end it brings the home lover back to his own town with a keener appreciation of the things he left behind him when he started off.
 Vacations have their uses-of that there's no doubt.

JOHN A. HEBRON WILL
 RUN FOR THE SENATE
Former Mississippi State Senator Aspires to Sue
 ceed Williams

Jackson, Miss, August 23.-(Special)- John A. Bebron, former state senator from Washington county. president pro tenn of the senate. now a prominent citizen of Jackson, is d candidate for the United States Senate, and not for governor, as has been charged by the political prognos- tlcators.
 It is very generally understood here and at Washington that inSthe event of the election of Gov. Woodrow Wilson to the presidency Senator John Sharp Will
 Hams will go into his cabinet. In the event that does come to pass, Senator Hebron will be candidate for the sen atorship, and the chances of his election would be so strong that few if any would have the temerity to offer against him. Under present conditions in this state, that is politically, there is not man in Mississippi except, perhaps, Lieutenant Governor Bilbo, who could give Hebron a good race for his money. bue 1t Is not believed that Bilbo will offer for the Sem ate. He has his eye on the governors of flee for next time, and in the event he holds his grip on the people as he proved to have had it last summer, he will con- cinve any and all of those who go up against him that they have been mixed up in very interesting race.
 Under the present law that passed by the legislature last winter. when vacan- cy occurs in the senatorship a special elec- ton must be held within 60 days after the vacancy occurs-that is, of the remainder of the term is for more than one year. This bars the governor of the ftate from making appointments of United States senators to some extent, and MT. Hebron would be found on the ground floor. 1 It is possible, of course, that Mir. Wilson
 will not be elected; it is also possible that | he would not name MT. Williams for a l cabinet place if he was elected; it is | again possible that Mir. Williams would not accept a cabinet position; but in the event these things do come to pass, as is generally believed here, Mir Hebron Is would be mighty hard to turn down.
