Most OF the representatives, were
modest In their demands when the

lature was heard before the House
committee on Privileges and Elections
yesterday afternoon. The senatorial
alstricts went owed until Tomorrow.
or. Chn!Eley, explaining his posi-
toh, said he had no desire to dictate
US 10 u!stficts in this part VI the state.
but the Southwest, he thought. was
entitled to more members. For Instance
hc himself represents in this House
hFe times az many people at does the
member from Appomattox. This is
because OF the rapid growth OF the
Southwest
The counties were called alphab eti-
cal!y. j. Harry Rev, responding for
Accomnc, wanted two House members
Tor that county, whoae greatness he
eHtolled. II now elects one direct rep
iesentatlyc.. and, with Southampton
elects fioater. II usually gives North
hampton the nOater. and Is allowed TO
take the Senator. Mr.. Fitzhush thought
Southampton should have "A represent
iative BY itself
There were no requests save to let
things stand az they are, until Bath
was reached. John IS. Stephenson
NhouBHt Bath ana Highland should
make district. Instead as now, eject
ing n direct representative from

NEW LINEN FRocKs.

& MART linen frocks are now being
shown in. all the fashioukbls GAops,
and most Of them are 20 fresh and
dainty looking that 1t Is difficult for the
average woman to resist their appeal and
refrain from purchasing at least one Of
these simple and fetching frocks.
Among the most striking Of these lfttls
morning gowns are those made Of striped
linen in white and eolors The most at
tractiye ones are not of the plain striped
designs, but those with fancy stripes,
made up of blocks and rings. Tho
stripes are far apart, showing q great
deal Of the plain white linen, so that the
effect is very light and delicate.
The frocks are made up into one piece
garments that have q general air Of SIM
plicity, but on closer inspection prove to
be rather complicated little affairs after
all They are trimmed with linen n
the plain color of the stripe, Just little
Of this plain, eolored linen being used in
such way that il does not make the
frock look spotty. The plain white linen
Is also used on these frocks and en-
broidered in linen thread and in Hghf,
open designs that dotnot make the gown
look at all elaborate
The skirts are made with the stripes
arranged in such ray as to make the
gown look as II II were -panelled. and
then there Is front panel opening slight
" at the foot to show q plain piece OF
the colored linen. The waist also has

opera wrap, is worn tightly wrapped
around the figure much in the same way
that the Indians wear their blankets, and
the idea is made all the more realistic by
the trimmings Of fringe. OF softest satin
lined with satin and worn over one of the
narrow satin evening gowns slenderness
is certainly attained, if at the price Of
comfort Any extra interlining would
be out Of the question, and the only pos
sible compromise is the wearing Of wide,
absolutely fat scarf of sable or ermins
around the shoulder, not under the wrap,
the scarf wound tight about the figure.
One must suffer to be beautiful, is the
thought suggested by this fashion, but
after all there are not many evenings Of
intensely cold weather, and certainly the
style is conspicuous and shows of good
figure to the highest perfection.
The Washington herald., 1912-02-04

is one reason why the sensible woman
makes such point of having an opera
cloak that is as becoming and effective as
possible, thinking the high prices paid well
worth while in consideration of the results.
For the forced-to-be-economieal woman
the long fur wrap is the best Investment
this winter, and while the handsomest of
these cost a kings ransom, and good
king at that, there are any number Of less
expensive models that are most effective,
and while the fur is # the cheaper quality
it Is eminently satisfactory, provided al
ways that the shape and effect of the
cloak be up to date. A most difficult task
has it been, by the way, to combine the
large, all enveloping quality with the slen-t
der appearance demanded by Dame Fash
ion, but it has been accomplished and a
wrap wide enough to cross over one side
The Washington herald., 1912-02-04

at first glance there is something too the
atrical and too striking about the sold on
black velvet or satin, a second glance gives
rise to a new thought, for the garment is
of such regal elegance that nothing could
be too elaborate or too effective on it And
the fashion is only intended for the woman
who needs the most expensive clothes, who
is gowned in accordance with her social
position and whose life of unending social
entertainments demands the most elabo-
rate and expensive wardrobe.
Bargains in Materials.
Fortunately for the great majority of
women who are obliged to keep up the
pace but whose bank accounts are sadly
inadequate to meet such demands there
are many superb materials, at this time
of the year, to be bought at wonderfully
small cost. There are. also the special
sales, and at these special sales opera
cloaks are marked down often to third
of their original prices.
An opera cloak IS not an impossibiHty
for even home manufacture provided q
