rule of fashion concerning skating costumes and they vary in cut, ma terial and trimming according to the taste of the wearer, the place. the weather and the occasion. There is but one requirement as to appear ance, that the costume should be trig and sporty and another require ment made by common sense that the costume should give the greatest freedom of movement
 Corduroy is liked for the skating suit and velveteen, though not great ly fancied this year. is also acceptable The very prettiest velvet skating costumes turned out by the designers so far are on Russian or military lines, loose girdled and trimmed with fur and frOgSing, or something on the line of frogging. Some Of these show but little fur trimming, being intend ed for WeGr with separate neck furs and muffs.
 Less elaborate and more practical skating costumes are in the thick; soft Woollens, fur trimmed, and one piece frocks of such stuffs will un- doubtedly be seen on the ice, worn with furs for the skating and covered by a big loose coat when the wearer stops for a rest
 The sweater is not the faVOrite it once was, Norfolks and Mackinacks and their like having cut into sweat CT popularity. Yet, many girls find sweaters too useful to give them up and occasionally the designers succeed in giving ai air of novelty to the old favorite.
 The high, close collar with narrow band of fur around the top is pretty upon a sweater and is usually accom- panied by lines of fur the cuffs. Sometimes the fur runs down the shoulder too, and, perhaps down a side front opening A fur trimmed knitted cap to match the sweater and a knitted huff en suite add to the ensemble and give a very pretty eff feet.
 Knitted Angora sweaters with scarf attached or separate and caps of at tractive shapes to match are offered in some of the shops, and these are often made up effectively in white with touches of contrasting color Such sets in the new browns are charming when becoming.
 The skirt of the skating costume usually has plaits let in some way, and the plain front with shirred or box pleated back is liked for such use Four narrow box plaits stitched down part of the way and very flatly and heavily pressed for the rest of the way afford enough room for free and graceful movement and look well.
 Skirts laid in side plaits all around are liked by some skaters and such skirts are made in a large variety of materials and are worn with separate short coats with or without fur trim ming.
 The smartest evening wraps are draped nowadays. Some are in Oriental fashion, being wound around the entire figure and fastened low in the back Others are caught in modified pannier effect, A style of wrap that has just made it's appear ance has the effect of Watteau back
 Oriental and Grecian effects are prominent in the draperies of evening gowns in subdued and rich colorings, and in gorgeous metallic, embroidered

OPINION AS ID
 AMENDMENTS
Proposed to Erase Con flicts Between City Char ter and Constitution Are Not in Conflict With Constitution Says Bullard

The proposed amendments to the proposed charter for the City of Phoe- nix providing for a commission form of government for the city have been sub mitted to Attorney General BulIard by Governor Hunt and found to be alright as to purpose but little off on form. This however can easily be fixed when MT. Prescott gets back on Monday, when the whole matter of the charter is gone over between Governor Hunt and MT. Prescott and the much wanted signature to the document that does away with the present form of city government is either signed or disap- proved
 If 1t is disapprOved an election for another charter commission to frame a suitable document will probably be held in the shortest possible time The amendments are expected if the peo- pie approve them,-an opportunity to approve them being dependant upon the Governors signature to wholly eradicate the present conflicts between the proposed city charter and the con- stitution of the state
 Upon receiving the amendments,
 
 General Bullard for his opinion as to their form. This has been sent to the governor. Attorney General Bullard does not recommend to Governor Hunt that he sign the charter even though the promise of the amendments is held out by the leaders of the city The at torney general states that the propOsi- tiOn of signing the charter is some thing that he cannot even suggest to | the governor because that is a mat ter for the governor to decide himself He does hOmever say that if the charter is signed he has no doubht but that the portions of the document that do not conflict with the constitution will be held by the courts to be suffi- cient and of effect
 The whole thing is again attracting a great deal of interest Governor Hunt and the attorney general are both in favor of the commission form of government for cities and anxious to l see it installed in Phoenix
