No Hooks. No Button on "A Slip
on Gown.

on Gown.
From the hands of milady's cloth
es builders FINELY has come that
wonder "a buttonless. hookless
gown. 1t requires neither patience
nor a mirror. neither time in the
donning nor a maid servant in the
coupling.
The suffragette gown is the name
given the creation. and creation" it
may well be called. for it has all of
the beauty of an afternoon gown de-
signed to meet the requirements of a
discriminating wearer, and the nu-
merous advantages of the a~ll-copceal-
ing house apron.
With the aid of this gown the en-
ergetic housekeeper finds it possible
to emerge from the chrysallis of her
kitchen costume into the full-blown
beauty of her afternoon best in a
period ranging from ten seconds TO
IN minute. according to the dexteri-
~ of the m
Back of this gown is a story of the
dress needs of the suffragette. The
ingenious devise for rapid change Is
so simple that the designers of dress
es for women are wondering why thy
never before thought Of il. The
skirt has a slash that is longer than
any ever seen before upon a woman's
eostume-it runs from the hem 10
the top of the garment. But. like the
suspenders attached 10 il. the slash
IS unseen. II was not intended 10 be
seen. The skirt is wrapped about
the wearer and two belts are clasped
in the back. The ~suspenders are
thrown over the shoulders and
presto, the skirt is on and securely
fastened in place. The mechanism
of the garment is effeetually con
eealed by a suit eoat thrown on over
any costume. BY an ingenious ar
rangement of the two belts and the
suspenders the skirt can not get awry
no matter how carelessly donned.
The fact that a mirror is unneees-
sary in making a ~suffragette toilet
makes it possible for its possessor
to make her one-minute change any
place where a gown is to be had. Its
greatest bid for popularity is with
husbands. There need be no more
hooking up. If the essential features
of this garment are adopted in the
construction of women's attire. The
original gown was made of blue serge
but il may be made of any cloth
selected for a street suit.

CONCORD. n. H.. Jan. y. - The
legislature of this state is now in
session to elect a successor to Burn

state requires that the successful

the office. In this instance three
