Roosevelt to Speak Tomorrow.

Col. Roosevelt will make his confession
of faith at the convention tomorrow
afternoon. following the formalities of
permanent organization. II had first been
announced that he would speak tonight
at the close of the first days work of
the new party. but inasmuch as Senator
Beveridge as temporary chairman was to
be a central figure in todays proceedings
and had prepared a speech of some
length. il was proposed that Col. Roose-
Welt withhold his pronouncements until
tomorrow.
The committee on platform was sched-
uled to be appointed today. but not to
make report until Wednesday. The
committee will not have TO wait until Col.
Roosevelt speaks before getting down to
business, for he has expressed q willing
ness to go before the committee. or to
give it access to an advance copy of the
speech upon which he proposes to appeal
to the people.
Col Roosevelt has insisted that his
speech precede the adoption of plat
form. He also made another condition,
that the big. cavernous convention hall
be equipped with a sounding board back
or the speakers platform in order that
his voice might carry TO the far corners
OF the steel-girded building. This has
been done. The board at first glimpse.
suspended over the platform. suggests an
aeroplane in flight. 1t is said wonder
fully to have improved the acoustic prop
critics of the hall. and 1t is now regarded
as extraordinary that some such device
was not used at previous national con-
ventions in the building.

PLANK FOR WOMAN SUFFRAGE

CHICAGO, August o.--The matter OF a
platform has been left in allegiance by the
progressive party leaders. And in view
of Col. Roosevelt's statement upon leav-
ing New York last night that the conven-
ton must accept his views in fun If he
was 10 be the nominee. the convention
leaders felt today they had been wise in
not taking the matter up in any definite
shape.
Many of the delegates are in favor OF
emulating the example of the national
prohibition party. and making the plat
form the briefest sort of document. con-
tanning the advanced declarations of prtn-
ciples in tabloid form. devoid Of all rhe-
torical embellishments. Col. Roosevets
announcement. however. may change all
of this, for his confession of faith,
which he declares must be accepted in all
essential details. is publicly reported to
contain more than 600 words. There
appeare to be no question today among
the delegates that Col. Roosevelt would
get whatever he wanted at their hands
His nomina ton has been depended upon
TO give the new party an suspicious start
and If he desires to run on a platform
based on the speech. which he asserts may
be termed "anarchistic. the progressives
here are more than anxious to give II to
him.

INSTEAD OF BUTTONS.

Some OF the designers tired OF put

ings of cord to be used on the sKlrts'
as we'll az on the Jackets. These Iaclngs
have been used extensively for some
time instead of buttons on negli8ees and

FOR THE LITTLEsT ONES.

A coat of heavy white corded silk Is
appropriate for the afternoon, when the
small girl accompanies her mother In the
limousine Some mothers insist on llav-
ing this "dress-up" coat cut on the same
simple lines as the morning one and quite
as devoid OF trimming. Others cannot re-
sist the handsome hand embroidery, which
not only decorates the cape but also the
bottom of the coat. An effective rose de-
sign, interviewer with garlands and bow
knots Of ribbon, adds immensely to the
beauty Of a white bengallne coat On an
other coat of the same material narrow
band OF ermine outlines the cape and
edges the fronts of the garment.
There is an enchanting little bonnet OF
silk, very much shirred. with tiny pink
rosebuds peeping coquettishly out from
between the soft folds of the silk at the
sides, to go with It, To accompany a
coat trimmed with ernine there is little
bonnet Of the faile silk with revers of the

The little touches, the niceties Of the
costume. are now the dominant thought
of the designer. These are the straws
which tell the all-important story TO
those who must prepare this early for
the succeeding season. If they are
adopted by women of discretion they
will be further developed. first IN the
costumes for the southern exodus. and
later in the spring styles.

LINGERIE EROCKS.

In the sheer lingerie frocks there is a
fad for colored effects-pale pinks, soil
blues and delicate yellows and Bluffs. The
hand work shows up very much more
clearly against a colored background, ana
this may account for the fad. The gown
shown in the illustration is Of pale pink

and finished with pretty lace edglng

WOOL VElOURS.

The wool finished velours are eagerly
sought by the young girls who wish
material a little out of the ordinary.
A coat Of homespun similar to the one
in the drawing could be worn by Miss
Five-Year-Old and her sister of twelve.
The side pieces extending from the front
to the broad back panel distinguish the
coat from the usual types found in the
shops. The new tendency OF the hats 10
turn up IN the back may be noted in the

a pity TO spoil them with trimmings; the

BLACK FOR CHILDREN.

Despite the fact that many mothers feel
that black is too old for their children. 10
is very becoming to many tots. A. child
with golden curls looks well in coat OF
black plush built in the Russian blouse
style. The side fastening is marked with
a strip of ermine and the small collar aud
the cuffs are OF the ermine. The hat worn
with this costume Is Of black velvet, with
a soft crown and pleated frills OF silk to
serve as q brim. A strip Of the ernsino
encircles the crown and is caught at in
tervals with clusters of pink rosebudS
nesting among the green leaves.
FUR TRIMMINGS.
There is almost sure to be touch of
fur on the cloth coats. A jaunty little
jacket on the REFER order is made OF a
very light buff broadcloth, with shawl
revers and deep cuffs OF beaver fur. The
hat has a soft Tam O. Shanter crown Of
cloth, which falls partly over the brim Of
the beaver. A quill in the soft brown
colorings lends a jaunty effect.
On coat of tapestry blue broadcloth a
box pleated effect is given to the skirt

beaver fur is used to edge the collar and
finish the sleeves. The hat in this in
