The present day prevalence of
unique and unusual concets in wom-
ems clothes seems to have elected a
degree of candid and caustic COM
ment from persons unable to see the
beauty of these new creations. 1t is
our aim and hope to inspire a true
appreciation of these latest tri-
umphs of the dressmaker's art and
to disabuse as many as possible of
the notion that the female garb to-
day is but a decadence of the ward
robe of a circus clown. The accom-
panying illustrations will serve to
give an idea of the styles we have
in mind and before going further
we urge the reader to scrutinize or
look at the pictures herewith pre-
scented. They were all prepared, we
assure you. with a conscientious re-
gard for detail and an effort to
show in the most favorable light the
subtle charm and high artistic merit
of milady's clothes today. Inspect
them closely.
After having carefully looked over
the illustrations referred to there
may still be some who remain I'M
convinced that the present feminine
habiliment is a joy forever. They
will deny that there is anything
beautiful at all about them. They
viii poke fun at them, ridicule them

JERSEY CITY. June 1s-In al
probability court proceedings will b

Dixon. who was corporation counse
under Mayor Wittpenn. has refused
to turn over the keys of his office to
Commissioner George F. Brensinger
who, as head of the department. OF
revenue and finance. is temporarily to
act as city treasurer.
Mr.. Dixon advised City Treasurer
Schumann that the new commission
ers had been illegally elected, and
that the city treasurer would be re-
sponsible for every dollar turned over
TO him. Mr.. Schumann, acting on
this advice, has decided TO protect
himself and his bondsmen by refus-
Ing to retire from office.
The office was closed this morning
and the clerks of the city treasurer's
office were at work in the comptrol-
ler's office.

upon Treasurer Schumann by Diree-
Tor of Finance and Revenue Brensin-

there are now two city treasurers.

Il is thought the banks will also rec

probably be instituted. the lawyers
