sive Officials Believe In Calling Spec
ial Session of Legislature at Early
Date.
BURLINGTON, Vt, July 9.-Coneert-
ed action was taken here last evening by
the chairmen of the Republican, Demo
cratic and Progressive state committees to
induce Gov Allen NJ Fletcher to call a
purpose of enacting a direct primary law,
as called for by the voters at the last
March meetings
n d. Phelps of Barre, chairman of the
Republican state committee, DR.. H. Mel
son jackson of this city, head Of the Pro-
grcssive state committee, and Emery Har-
lis of Bennington. chairman of the Demo
cratic state committee held a conference
at the Hotel Vermont at which discussion
was had as to the method of making
nominations for the coming state election
and it was proposed that the following
plan be reported as a matter for consider
alton by the state committee of each of
the three parties represented.
The Plan Suggested.
Whereas, the voters of Vermont have
called for direct primary law in the
choice of political candidates it is the duty
OF the state to provide such direct pri-
mary law as may serve the needs of the
state
Therefore, the three leading parties
should agree on such bill and request
his eXcelency, the governor, to call a spe-
| cial session of the legislature in season ia
enact such a law for use at the coming
election
For this purpose each party should
appoint one competent person, the same
! to be one of a committee of three. to pre-
pare such a bin for presentation to the
| legislature
Republicans Agreeable.
Notwithstanding the proposition ad
vanced several days ago by the RepubIi
cans at meeting in Montpelier that al
unofficial primary be held on September
| I, Chairman Phelps was in accord with
the action taken at last nights confer
ence.
The plan agreed upon will be submitted
Immediately to the full committee oI
each party and it is expected that a com
mittec of three will be named to draft
direct primary bill.
When such hill has been prepared
Gov. Fletcher viii be urged to conven,
the legislature in special session.
1t is believed here that the members o
the legislature will be willing to enae
such law and adjourn without taking NJ
Iother matters which might prolong sucl
la special session.
Immediately after the conference close
the executive committee of the Progress
sive state committee held meeting a
which March NJ. Wilson of Randolph wa
named as the Progressive member of tn
committee of three suggested by the con
ference.
Republicans to Meet July IS.
The Republican state committee wi
hold a meeting at Montpelier on July
to take action on the plan proposed
I Chairman Harris stated that he could no
say when the Democratic state committe
would take action as he would have t
issue a call for a meeting.
Judge Z. w Gibson of Bratttlebof,
DR.. w. j. AIdrich of St Johnsbry an
Mr. Nichols of Bennington, all Progre
| sives, We're present at the conference

Evening Gown Without Tunic

woman that she has exactly the figure
TO wear one of the new costumes, which
means a narrow black satin skirt, a
box-pleated striped tunic, hip sash. a
answers that possibly she may have the
figure, but she hasn't got the mind to
do it.
The Long Draped Skirt.
The sketch shows an evening gown
for a woman who refuses to wear
tunics. She does not mind adopting
the sleeveless bodice and the deep Cir
die and the outstanding frill that was
brought out in Paris this spring as an
odd accessory to the top of the belt.
She does not mind these. but she OBJ
1ects to having the length of line from
her waist to the floor cut into sections
by attached pieces Of material and
there are many who think as she does.
They might like this gown. 1t was
made by a well known dressmaker and
has been very much admired.
The material is satin; the color, new
blue; the trimming pink roses made of
tulle and sprinkled with brilliants.
The skirt is irregularly pleated at the
waist line and most Of the fullness Is
caught up above the left knee by a
large. blue crystal from which hang
strings of white crystals. The fiat tulle
roses are placed on white tulle and in
serted between the waist and this
buckle. The high folded belt has a
double pleating Of the satin which
stands straight out from the figure and
seems to hold up the pink and white
tulle that make up the rest of the
bodice.
At the back of the skirt there is a
fiat bow of satin ribbon from which
hang streamers Of blue tulle.
There Is also a return to short train.
The craze for dancing has cut off most
of the skirts. and now there has come
a reaction. not against dancing, but in
favor Of frightening the line at the
back of skirt.
Il woman is fortunate enough to
have many gowns, and many social op-
portunities, she can keep her train
skirts for formal dinners and theaters.

The Handbag Beautiful.

The new handbags and card cases
show even moro extravaganza and
beauty than their immediate predeces-
sors. They are the costliest affairs IN
their respective lines ever turned out
The handbags are large and have
long. straight metal tops. with most
of the ornamentation upon tho tops
instead Of the sides. They open by
pressure on the top, or with a clasp.
and. instead of a metal chain or round
leather handle, are fitted up with
leather strap. no wider than a finger.
and very thin. The strap is knotted in
a single loop at top. sometimes. merely
for purposes Of individuality. as the
loop gives an air to the strap. These
straps are in the same tfnts as the
leather Of which the bag is made. and
the color that prevails in the silk.
The bags Of thin. dressed leather. in
dainty colors. are pleated the whole
way along the top in full pleats This
gives quite an air Of distinction to
at the side. with rounded corners at
the bottom.
Silk bags are treated in the same
manner. Favorite silks are plaids and
in which pink prevails as decoration
and there Is some soft. quiet tint as q
background. Tho straps are Of the
color Of the background.
Handsome brocaded stripes Of flow
ers, with large spreading figures. are
made up into the large bags. and
smaller figures in deeper tints into
small ones.
A variation in new bag styles is a
long. rather narrow fiat bag. made like
several open envelopes laid together
and fastened only at the bottom. The
center compartment has a slender
metal rim and clasp. Into these COM
partments a woman tucks her hand
kerchiefs, and any other nat things
that she wants to carry about, as we'll
as her cards and bills. A handle holds
these together.
In a much smaller shape. and Of
heavy leather. are purses that have
compartments on each side OF the
clasped purse for holding cards. bills
and the handkerchief. The sides come
up two or more inches above the top
Of the purse in curve that has a
curved slit in 1t for the hand. This
double handle arrangement holds the
sides of the purse close together.

New Ways to Cook Cherries.

This is another English dish which
the children think a great treat, A

Is mixed with cold water and rolled
out on board. The round Of dough
Is put into bowl (greased) and filled

Toured rag, tightly secured by a strong
cord.
The pudding is plunged into boiling
water and kept steadily at that tenn
perature for two hours. When done,
a knife Is slipped around the bowl and
the pudding turned upon a fiat dish
for serving. A variation Of the dish
Is to roll out the paste in an oblong
shape and cover with cherries and
sugar, then roll up. The fruit should
be kept an inch or SO from the ends,
which must be pinched together be-

This makes roly poly cherry pudding.

PARIS, May 10.-The present modes

perhaps the most successful of all

but that is the exception. Women who
are looked upon as arbiters of fashion
have adopted the simple couture that
calls for neither the masses of ex-
traneous hair SO recently demanded
nor for the garish ornaments that were
such a blot on good taste a few sea-
sons ago.
There is no excuse whatever for
wearing ones hair unbeoomingly
dressed except sheer ignorance of what
is suitable. because there Is a great
variety of styles to choose FROM
Neither Is 1t necessary to resort to
the Marcel for there are any number
of styles in which straight locks are
permissible or absolutely demanded.
For example, there is the helmet"

pompadour. with the ends tucked
underneath. The ear is exposed in this

quite the latest note. but Is not by
any means becoming to all.
The second head shows a method Of
dressing that does not require much
hair and one that is most convenient
for the size and shape of the present
small hats. This, too, is loosely waved
and drawn softly back above the neck
where the ends are all tucked UNDER

ranged comb. A parting across the
forehead allows the short front hair
to be rolled over the brow and In

the central strand in back and is usual

The last is style suited to a rather
square. boyish face and calls for a
small bang just across the front to
form the fat rings on the forehead.
The hair is parted at the right, but
only for about two inches. and then
drawn over the head and about the
ears to the back and pinned in sim

Then fasten three wires or strings to
this and hang 1t up, filing the hollow.

Quets Of the elder bridesmaids.
The orfental-looking caps and wells
which were worn by 50 many bridesmaids
last year are no longer fashionable, and
hats are of the smartest description,
often black in contrast to the dainty
gowns. Scarfs and muffs Of chiffon and
ostrich or marabou to harmonic with
the gowns are often seen at present. and
are almost necessary on chilly days,

Flower Tints for

Flower tints are as ever the chief
choice for bridesmaids frocks, and at
some weddings the bevy of maids was
as gay as a group of spring blossoms
while many requisite designs are being
prepared for the rush of weddings that
will take place in the near future.
Dafodil and primrose. pale rose and
Parma mauve are the favoritS shades

They are always made up with white
or ivory net or lace.
With gowns in which yellow predomi-
mates flowers to match are carried. but
with other tints the bouquets provide a
contrast. At one wedding bouquets of
violets-a compliment to the brides name
were carried. with picture frocks Of rose
chiffon velours. and the bridegroom's
gifts were charming little ''bluebirds Of
happiness pendants. At a mauve we'd
ding the bridesmaids wore with their
rnauve and white gowns bergere hats
wreathed with pink roses, and carried
bouquets Of the same flowers. Their or
naments were long strings Of pink topaz
beads.
