New York DresSmaker Describes
PettiCOatIess Mode and Harem
Skirt From Paris.

NEW YORK, July 1O.-"The prudes

That is, they are In Paris, which
means that American women Of fash
ion win bring them home with them
this fall and winter" said Nine. Ber-
nard, Fifth Avenue modiste, who has
Just arrived from abroad with the
first harem skirt and the silhouette
gown.
The former resembles Turkish trou-
sers, which have succeeded the slit
skirt and the latter is a new French
creation Of lace and pleated tulle
worn with tights OF silk of white or
flesh pink, with no suggestion of a
petticoat unless 1t be of filmy mate
rial.
THE slit skirt has been the most
graceful and attractive made for
women which has been worn in many
years. so all OF the great fashion lead
ers Of Paris declare, said Nine. Ber-
nard. THE harem skirt Is an adapta-
ton of the slit skirt with the tendency
TO the full and natural figure about
the hips, which is the dernier cri.
Turkish trousers, properly adapted,
are an ideal costume for the modern
woman of fashion The ones l saw in
Paris are the most fascina ting and
bewitching frocks have ever seen.
THE silhouette gown, which is built
on Grecian lines. is extremely beauti-
full, provided the figure is graceful 1t
is hike looking at a beautiful woman
through a fieecy sunlit cloud.
THE gown is so arranged at the
hem that by means Of a slit up the
front-to the knees-and by pulling
the diaphanous pleated tulle and lace
criss-cross about the ankles sort of
trouser effect is obtained which only
shows when the wearer moves about

"BEST SHOW IN TOWN"
AT BONITA THEATER

THE best show in Atlanta" is
the verdict of the patrons of the
Bonita Theater. The fact is, the
Bonita will have none but the
best. and when a company does
not come up to the standard, the
engagement is cut short and the
wires are put to work. There is
a difference in the class of shows
produced at the Bonita and other
houses using the same kind OF
attractions. The music is good,
the girls are pretty, and the dane
ing will make you pat your foot
and sway your body with the
graceful movements of the show

The Famous Torrance of the House of Commons

gra ciously approved their choice of a
presiding officer. Then prayers are
said for minus the presence of the speak
er, the house cannot even pray let alone
transact business.
There is not space enough here to de-
scribe the many duties of Mr.. Speaker"
nor would such description make en-
tertaining reading. More than any other
member of the house, except, perhaps
the chief government whip, the present
presiding officer has reason to be thank
full for the new II o'clock rule" which
practically put an end to all night sit
tings the bane of life in the house of
commons. The record sitting in the ex-
perience of Mr.. Lowther was one during
a debate on the agricultural land rating
bill, which began a quarter to three OH
one afternoon, and ended at $50 on the
following day, but, before the adoption
of the new rule it was nothing unusual
for a session to last from 2:45 in the
afternoon, until 400 or 500 in the fol-
lowing morning.
Despite his long hours and heavy re-
sponsibilities, however, the Right Hon.
J. W. Lowther. who is IS, wears a neatly
trimmed beard, and is noted as a careful
dresser, always looks in the pink of
condition, and no doubt this is due to
the many forms of exercise In which he
INDUCES. His 1aVorlte sport IS deer
stalking, and he would far rather be
crawling on all fours in the rain over
a sodden Scotch moor than presiding
over the deliberations, of the house or
acting as host at one of the full dress
dinners,' to which his invitation con-
stitutes a command. When last romi-
mated as NJ. p. for his district he rode
to the ceremony in his hunting pink, mad
he rarely misses his morning canter in
Rotten Row; but 1t is as a swordsman
that he is most famed.
Lowther is said to be one of the most
expert masters of the foil IN England,'
and three times a week he has lively
bout with a renowned mitre d'armes.
The scene of these encounters is the
famous terrace of the house of COM
mons, which is overlooked by Westmins

Interior of the House of Commons
Showing Speakers Chair

this time he was chairman of commit
tees, and disorder having broken out
which he was unable to quell, he had to
report the matter to the speaker 1t
happened, however, that Speaker Gully
was not present, and therefore 1t was
Lcwther's duty to take his place as dep
uty speaker.
So he had to stand at the head of
the table as chairman of committees,
report to himself what had been going
on, and then step up into the speak
er's place and consider the merits of
the case which he had submitted to
himself and decide upon It.. Lowther
emerged from this ordeal more grace
fully than a man of less tact and dig
nifty would have done, but II he didn't
feel ''rother an ass" as they say in
England, all the time, he must take
himself a lot more seriously than do
most of us.
Gladstone once declared that no man
in England (unless it were Henry La
bouchere) would have the courage to
suggest doing away with the speakers
wig, but that was a good while ago,
and there are lot of folk today who
would not lament the disappearance,
not only of the aforesaid wig, but the
whole Of Mr.. Speakers state process

ny enough TO make a cat laugh. He is
chosen by a. vote of the whole house,
by the way and it is the best evidence
of the unusual capabilities of the pres
ent speaker that, although an avowed
conservative, and originally elected by
a conservative majority in the cham
Der, he has continued in office despite
the fact that liberal administration
has been in power for sevon years.
The first thing that has to be done
after the house has chosen its speaker
is to have its choice approved by the
King. Nominally. that is, for as a mat
ter of fact the King has just as much

proceeds to inform him of his election.

present myself at your lordships bar,
and submit myself, with all humility,

Whereupon the lord chancellor, after
explaining that it is not convenient for
the King to be present In person and
that, therefore. he has turned the ap

same effect, after which the speaker
elect makes another solemn reverence
to the lords commissioners, and the
lords commissioners make a series of
"reverences'' to him.
The procession then reforms and files
back to the house of commons, where
the now duly elected speaker changes
