New Orleans, La, Nov. 10
Mrs. Daisy McLaurin Stevens, OF
Brandon, Miss, was unanimously
elected president of the United
Daughters of the Confederacy on
Saturday morning, after the only
other candidate, Mrs. Nathan Del
la, OF Virginia, had withdrawn
from the contest.
That the daughters want only
politics that concern their own
organization was evidenced again
Yesterday when the minutes of
Wednesdays meeting were read.
Wien the secretary noted that
the convention had refused to re-
ceive greetings from a suffragist
convention also meeting in New
Orleans, a cheer broke out in the
convention hall. This was taken
up generally and it was some
time before the secretary could
proceed with her reading.

organized by delegates to a Loui-
siana suffrage convention, which
adjourned late in the afternoon

Mayor Harrison voiced the sent.
ment Of the people Of Chicago on the
awful street car service.
In his annual message to the city
council the mayor denounced condi.
lions - Uncomfortable, insanitary,
and immoral"
He charged that the city's over.
crowded cars are IAN ofiense against
dscency, Q danger to health, and an
afRront to the intelligence Of good cit
ixenship."
"This Indictment" he said, "lies
against both surface and elevated
lines. The almost staggering total Of
the city's share Of the net receipts Of
the surface lines for 1912-92,629, 033-

ditions which thousands Of patrons

vincing proof that health, comfort.
and even decency itself are sacrificed
to the Unsuitable rapacity Of the cash

"There should be some recognition

Of the rights Of the public. there
should be q little common sense, Q

Speaking Of home rule In utilities
Mayor Harrison said in bis message:
1T seems strange that In this day

ito local affairs. The public utilities
Of Chicago live BY virtue Of the power
given them by the city; from the
vigor, the energy. the prosperity, the
activity Of our people they draw their
very life's blood. The city deals fairly
with them. II II failed to do so the
courts would compel fair treatment.
I'VE maintain that the citizens Of
this community who day by day, year
in and year out, are brought into in

and extravaganees She maintains the
position that women can dress fash
ionably and yet sensibily, and eco
nomically. At the same time, as a
matter of interest, she reports the latest
extremes of Partisan fashion talk, re-
porting some of the latest activities of
Madame Paquin OF Paris, who is per-
haps the most famous woman dressmak-
er in the world.
"There is no denying the fact that
plaits are pushing themselves forward.
No less a parsonage than Leon Bakst,
the Russian scene painter, who especial
" came into prominence by designing
the costumes of the Russian ballet, and
who is now working with Paquin and
putting his wonderful ideas of color into
the fashions, has designed a new plated
skirt which is really much like our old
fashioned Killed model. OF course there
is difference. The plaits are much
deeper and there are fewer of them. The
skirt is cut in seven cores and made
with one deep plait in each gore. There
is box plait in the center front, and
dear me our old friends again appear at
the back, for there are inverted plaits!
Madame Paquin, whose word counts
for so much in Paris fashions, never for
gets her loyalty to her own country.
This season she is getting many an in
spiration from the time of Louis Nv,
therefore the Louis Quinze period must
be reckoned with in fashioning the
gowns of to-day.
Perhaps the most noticeable feature
is the waistcoat, which Madame Paquin
so frequently makes of striped silk,
using the same silk as. the lining for the
coat and then for the deep frills which
fall over the hands. Powered silks and
brocades are also used for these waist
coats and the softest Powered crepe for
the lining of the coats.
"Other Louis XIV. fashions which are
looked upon as charming revivals to-day
are the neckbands of black velvet made
with the most elaborate of jeweled
slides, the gay coored and decorated
heels for evening slippers so closely as
ISOLATED with Madame de Pompadour,
and the profuse use of ribbons as trim
mings.
