pear to be violating the ordinance.
The District heads have decided to no

NEW EVENING GOWN
HAS NO TRAIN
New Taifeta Is Said to Be More Dur.
able Than That Formerly
Used.

There is no doubt about the fact that
! the French like usfTeta. So did the Amer
leans once They found out that il
would not wear. and that means much to
the wealthiest American and nothing to
the fashiondbly dressed woman OF Paris.
With centuries OF tradition of economy
and shrewdness back OF her, she con-
tinues to buy clothes that will fall TO
pieces under the slightest burden.
Even the wealthy American wants her
clothes to last: the fashionable Parisienne
does not take this into consideration.
She wears tulle gowns, shadow lace
fiOunces. net Innings, and perishable taf-
feta. AL she asks for is line and style
the American wants both. but she wants
sturdiness back of these.
1t is claimed that the new taffeta wears
better than any other kind that has been
invented. 1t is RELIEF from satin. which
has been used too steadily for years, and
it is lighter than velvet, which is a fabric
for cold climates.
The newest frOcks made for the French
women are in butterfly design: the skirt
is draped around the figure with the full
ness standing out from the hips and the
hem just as narrow as ever. The bodice
is cut in a deep round decollettage, with
the new sleeves made from circular pufTs
Nildl are puSneu up 70 the very TOP OF the
arm and are folded back on the shoulder
line. They are finished with a narrow
frill of lace and butterfly bow of gold
lace
The whole bodice is covered with gold
lace arranged in a huge butterfly in front
and another one at the back. The girdle
is comparatively simple. and is compara-
lively simple. and is finished with a
wired butterfly bow of gold net at the
back.
Formal evening gowns have trains; in
formal gowns do not. There is no at
tempt on the part of the designers so far
but l am writing before the American
openings-to either lengthen or widen the
average skirt
All dancing gowns are short. and the
only dinner gowns that have trains are
those which will be worn for formal
affairs and are adopted by tall. stately
figures. One could hardly call the wisp
of tulle or lace that falls on the floor by
the formal name of train" In taffeta
gowns it is not possible to make a train
of any kind that would add distinction to
the silhouette. These gowns are short,
and, being so. they play a decided part
in the wardrobe of every woman who
makes any attempt to dress for the even
ing.

Novelty Fabrics.

New fabrics and unheard-of names for
them are something for the woman to
reckon with this season when she goes
out to buy her new garments. They are
almost worthy of a key by which to
connect the strange sounding titles with
the goods which one instantly detects as
novel. Duvetyn is a leading weave of
wooden ana of silk. being really a mem

Since the last issue OF the Sunday
Herald George w Rowland, a veteran
printer in this office, and well known
member OF Columbia Typographical
Union, No. l0l, has Joined the great ma
jority. He was born in the State of Mich
igan seventy-nine years ago, and at the
age of sixteen. after attending the public
schools, he entered the office of the
Patriot q weekly newspaper published
at jackson, Mich. Upon the completion
of his apprenticeship he went to Grand
Rapids and in 1856 assisted in setting
type for the first issue of the Grand
Rapids Eagle. and was employed on that
paper the succeeding eight years.
Receiving an appointment to the Gov
ernment Printing Office in 1856. during
Public Printer Defrees' first administra-
ton, he was assigned to the job room.
Afterward promoted to the makeup on
specifications and in later years filled
sImilar position in the Navy branch.
With advancing years he was transferred
TO the 'spess'' document sectionl. In

During his life, Mr.. Rowland was an
earnest advocate OF union principles. a
charter member of Grand Rapids Typo
graphical Union, No. 20, he was elected
a delegate proxy to represent that un-
ion at the first session of the old Ma
tiunal Typographical Union held III this
city in June. 1863 and took an active
part in the proceedings of that session.
The convention of that year was given
tC Washington in recognition of the dis
solution of the old Columbia TypoGraphi-
cal Societ., the year previously. and the
takinC OF a charter and the affiliatiOn OF
that body with the National Topographic
cal Union.
The funeral took place from his late
residence. GOl Fourteenth Street North

Candlemas Day.

To-day, February ., In the eccles-

Publication of St. Mary the Virgin. and
also of the Presentation of the Child
Jesus In the Temple, and the prescribed
services for lie day will be held in the
Episcopal and Roman Catholic Churches.
ST. Luke's account of the two events
commemorated on this day. begins with
the words: And when the days OF their
publication (mother and child accord
ing to the law of Moses, were accom-
plished, they brought Him to Jerusalem
TO present Him to the Lord
The publication took place in accord
ance with divine appointment on the
fortleth day after the Nativity Geviticus.
xii: .. g., hence the festival occurs on
the fortieth day after Christmas. Feb
ruary 2. 1t is interesting to note that the
Gospel for the day tSt. Luke. II: 22), is
the same in the Greek. Roman, and
Anglican churches, and is found on the
'Lectionary of ST. Jerome. who was
born about A. D., $40. so that II has been
in the church continuously for more than
800 years.
The popular name of the day, Candle
mas. harks back to the ancient custom
of the Christians Of walking in process
sion on this day and carrying lighted
candles in allusion. no doubt, to the
prophecy OF Simeon, spoken on this day,
at the presentation: "a light TO tighten
the Gentiles."
OF course on a cloudy day the candles
appeared to better advantage than in the
blazing sun; hence a cloudy Candlemas
Day was more favorable for the process
sion of lights-was a good omen-a sun
ny day the reverse. This probably ac-
counts for the popular superstition that
III. bod -
February. means forty days OF inclement
weather.
