NITA'S new YORK FASHIONS
GREAT YEAR FOR FIoUiNCEs-
BEAUTIFUL EMBROIDERIEs

It's great year for fIounces. It is
a fril1y, fluffy, fnrfbeIowy year
Flounces made their first appearances
in Trouville last August. The smart
gowns on the Riviera. now being worn
are showing that nine tenths of the
frocks made for use at Southern re-
sorts have flounces of one sort Or an
nther.
Three times the width of the skirt
used to be the correct measurement
knows no such bouffancy. 1t is ap-
piled perfectly flat, and if it is the
least bit fuller than the skirt, the full
ness is introduced Warily by means
Of pintucks Or shallow pleats, pressed
down very flat. Some of the flounces
curve upward and wind around the
skirt, and it is marvellous, indeed,
how the courturiers seem able to solve
these winding f1ounces out of straight
lengths of machine embroidery. One
Riviera frock, for instance, has six
flounces of Colbert embroidery mount
ed over net, reaching from the edge
of the skirt to the waistline, each
f1ounce curving up toward the front
where there is g. panel of wide Colbert
banding from belt to hem.
Paris is very favorable to en1broid-
cry, which is even more fashionable
than lace, with f1ounces and band
trimmings of very sheer and open en-
broideries, many of them more beautl-
full than any laces, except priceless
hand made varieties.
OF course, all these beautiful er1broidI
cries come from Europe, and it seems
really surprising to find many of them
at such modest prices. Some of the
new fIouncings initiate perfectly hand
worked patterns, and there are collar
and cuff sets for use with the summary
frocks of linen dimity, which one
would swear were hand-wrought speci-
mems of the beautiful Appenzelle work
were it not for the prices attached
which by their modesty indicate that
the work is machine done. So mar
veIous are some of these machine i'm
itations of hand-work, that only an
expert can tell the difference, and the
new embroideries are much in demand
for summer petticoats, negHgees and
lingerie garments
The holder patterned embroideries
are favored by fashion for frocks and
blouses, and some of the boldest and
most open effects are yelled with
white net or are mounted upon net
in the embroidered designs, and, alto
gether net is going to be a very pop
l1Iar fabric, in this summers costumes,
if signs are to be believed. When one
says "bo1d'' patterned embroiderfes,
an effect of coarsenesS or heaViness- is
not supposed to be conveyed. In fact
the holder the new patterns, the sheer
er. finer and 1acier they are, and
some of the effects are remarkably
like handsome point Venise designs.

WOMAN MAY BE
MESSAGE BEARER
FROM PRESIDENT

Washington, April 3-For the first
time in history a woman may have
the opportunity of announcing to the
president of the Senate or the Speaker
of the House that she is the bearer
''of a message from the President of
the United States.'' Miss Alberta
Hill, of New York, is after the White
House job now held by M. c. Latta,
who for many years has carried the
messages of the Presidents to the Sen
ate and House, and in impressive tones
in both chambers disclosed the nature
of his visit.
Miss Hill, who has held important
and confidential positions with the
Democratic National Committee in it's
New York headquarters, has brought
great influence to bear in her effort
to land the place of record clerk in the
executive Office. Precedent, however,
will have to be set aside if Miss Hill
is appointed, for it has been an I'M
written rule for years that no woman
should be employed in the executive
offices.
Miss Hill is an ardent suffragist
and has gained some reputation as a
public speaker.

new POLICY LIKELY
IN STATE FINANCES
Dunn May Require Joint Order
for Payment of Expenses of
General Assembly

Hartford, April "a new policy of
paying order of the general assembly
is believed to be under consideration
by State Comptroller Dunn although
as yet it has not been put into opera
ton. In fact debate on the bill in
the Senate, yesterday, fixing the sal
airy of the assistant clerk of the Sen
ate at $4,000, an office created by the
present session, Senator Perry said he
had been given to understand that
the comptroller will not hereafter re-
cognize orders for payment of state
funds unless they are provided for in
joint resolutions. That is, the compt-
roller will not recognize resolutions
individually presented by either
branch.
It has been the 1ong-standing GUS
tom for each branch to authorize pay
ment of its contingent expenses by a
separate resolution or when money
has been voted to pay the expense of
a committee clerk or chairman it has
been done through a House or Senate
resolution. In the latter body the
gratuities to Unemployment were or
dered paid on warrants provided for
in Senate resolutions. AS Senator
Perry understood the situat ton, the
comptroller will not recognize orders
unless they are provided for by joint
action.
In this connection, it is known that
Gov. Baldwin has called the attention
of Senator Mcneil of the appropria-
t1ons committee to the fact that the
House has appropriated $4,000 for
payment Of certain expenses incurred
by these trustees of the Connecticut
colony for epileptics. The governor
points out that the charter of the
colony provides that no trustee shall
receive pay for his services. He sug-
gests that it would be bad precedent
to pay for such services and asks tina
the attorney general be asked for an
opinion to the legality of an ap-
preparation being made for these trus-

White crepe de chine petticoats are
trimmed with lace and pink and bIua
chiffon rosebuds.
The wool eponge coats are seen In
bright colors as well as the service
able navy and taupe.
larry weaVes in Worsted and silk
resembling uncut velvet are seen
among the new cloakings.
Bright wool embroidery is one Of
the prettiest decorations for after
noon gowns of white faille.
Strass stones, outlining the transpa.
rent bodices of evening gowns, are
as much in favor as ever.
Printed linen toiles are to be had
which make a delightful touch Of col
or the white linen frocks.
Many of the separate coats intend
ed for driving have the sleeve cut in
one piece with the garment.
There are some indications of hats
growing larger. Some of these hats
in black have red crowns.
The natural figure is more than ever
in vogue; the fashionable woman
looks as if she had no waist line al
all.

SHARING PRINTING EXPENSE.

The question having arisen as to
who should pay the bill for printing
public and special acts which are pass
ed by the General Assembly, Comp
troI1er Dunn asked OF Attorney Gen
era1 Light an opinion on the matter.
The question asked was:
rs an act amending. the charter of
city of this State of private ma
ture and consequently to be printed
at the expense Of said city?"
Mr.. Light, after defining what are
public and private acts, and stating
that some public acts contained mat
ter Of a private nature, and that some
private acts contained matters of con-
Germ to the public, said that the test
is:
Does it concern public and not
merely private interests?'
IF it does he said, sit is a pub
lie statute Notwithstanding it may be
local or special in form
In direct answer to. Mr. Dunn, the
attorney general says:
''But in determining the question OF
printing an act should be considered
of a private nature if its principal
provisions affect only private inter
ests. The main features of every city
charter concern only the inhabitants
of that city; therefore, I am of the
opinion that an act granting or
amending the charter of a, city is of
a private nature and should be print
ed at the expense of the city"

SUITABLE FEED FOR CHICKS
Warning on Practice Of Giving Soak.
ed Bread-BoiIed Rice With
Oatmeal Ia Excellent.

A poultry lecturer in Scotland some
years ago In an address on the rearing
and general management of chickens,
said on the subject of food, he would
give a wrinkle worth its weight In
gold. At three days old the chickens
are qualified to eat pretty nearly ev-
erything. but he warned them against
the practice Of feeding the chickens
on soaked bread. They should adopt
the following plan: Fill a little linen
bag half full of rice, put it into water
and let 1t boil FIVE minutes. They
should then withdraw the bag and let
the water drain away and they would
ind the rice whole and separated. A
handful Of oatmeal should be mixed
with the rice and 1t would absorb all
the moisture. This the chickens
should be allowed to pick up for them
selves, but they should not have too
much.

SOME DISEASES OF THE Hoo
Garbage Poisoning 10 One Troubts
Sometimes Mistaken for Cholera
Serum Often Blamed.

Ninety per cent. of the losses from
disease among hogs are due to chol-
era, but other diseases are often mis-
taken for 1t. This sometimes leads
owners to blame serum because they
have used 1t without benefit.
Garbage poisoning is one trouble
sometimes mistaken for cholera. It
results from feeding hotel and restau-
rant table refuse containing large
quantities of soap. The soap causes
severe Inflammation and 1t or other ir-
ritating substances produce symptoms
much like those Of cholera.
Worms cause troubles mistaken for
cholera by multiplying in the lungs.
causing irritation. stopping the air
passages and giving rise to a cough
and pneumonia. The animal becomes
unthrifty and loses flesh but does not
die quickly or show the other charac-
t~eristic symptoms of rue cholera.

ent II the animal does not show the
other symptoms, including fever, red
ness Of the skin and sudden death.
When worms are present the appetite
remains good. Loss Of appetite is usu-
ally an early symptom Of cholera.

course In hogs and should not be mis-.
taken for cholera. 1t occurs most fire.

against any of these other diseases.
