simplicity. The three-f1ounced skirt is
of silver, each fiounce bound with a
bias strip of itself, with the edge un-
pressed, that it may look almost like
cord. The bodice is made of a strip
of panne velvet, which is placed bas-
que fashion over an underbodice Of
net. The edges of the V-shaped neck
and the extremely short sleeves of the
net are outlined with narrow pas
simenterie, composed alternately of
one long bead and a rhinestone. In
the front at the point Of the V neck
a bright red rose gives life and zest
to the entire costume.
The gown of black lace and velvet
which, is used for the illustration is
made over slip of white charmeuse
having an outer lining of gold metal
net. The bodice of black chiffon vel
vet is made in surplice basque effect
The plain net across the front is over
the metal net. The sleeves are a
mere ruffle over each shoulder. The
wide skirt of lace through which glim-
mers the metal and white is rather
short, as is the style for the dresses
for day or evening wear. A rosy, COL
ored flower is used at the closing of
the waist.
A gown simple and wonderfully ef-
fective is made of salmon colored chif-
fOn velvet. The skirt is full shirred
several times at the top to make the
gathers fall easily and gracefully At
the bottom of this skirt is six-inch
ruffle gathered over thick cord. The
edge is not hemmed, but finished with
machine-made picot The waist is
composed of net and lace foundation,
over which is draped a wide piece of
the bias velvet with picot edges, CIV
reaching as high as the point of the
V neck. At the back the velvet
dropped lower than the front, showing
the latest line around the hips.
Another dress worthy of note is
made on an underslip of white char
meuse and metal net. The lower sec
ton is of heavy golden yellow net
with heavy design all over it in long
narrow gold beads. Above that is
flounce of Chantilly with waist of
brocade. Over this waist is worn a
chemise of the tan-and-gold lace
through which the outline of the un-
derwaist is visible.
Cloth of gold is used for the second
Illustration with bodice of shell pink
panne velvet, which divides in the
back, the lower portion extending into
a sash. The sleeves and founces on
the skirt are of the shimmering cloth
of gold.
The artificial flower is a feature of
almost every gown. 1t adds the note
of contrast, the brilliant touch that
gives zest, or the depth of character
necessary to the successful completion
of any gown.
These flowers are made of silk and
velvet in colors natural or unnatural
The important thing is not how near
to nature they can be made, but to
have the color contrast which tells, on
the dress it is to be worn upon. Roses
made of cloth of silver and tied with
streamers Of dull blue picot-edged rib
bon are worn at the waist of a dress,
with bodice of white satin having a
brocaded velvet pattern in hazy pink,
green and dull blue, and skirt of pink
taffeta, which was caught up on one
side by these roses, making one side
I of the dress perceptibly shorter than
the other.

But slippers of gold-and-silver cloth,
or satin brocaded with silver and gold,
or some of the wonderful tapestries
may be worn to advantage with many.
But with these the greatest discrimin-
alton must be used. Properly worn
they add distinctive touch, but worn
without thought they are apt to spoil
the effect of the entire costume.
The picot edging, which l have
spoken of in the fore part Of my let
ter, is a strip of cloth machine hem
stitched, with the stitching cut
through the exact center, thus adding
a picot edge to both edges. This gives
a finish to materials like velvet which
is not clumsy This is also used on
edges of sashes where silk has been
used instead of ribbon.

A Practical Question.


JOHN NJ. SLATON,
Governor
A Practical Question.
Woman suffrage is not question Of
expediency; it is not a sentimental ques-
ton. To say that a polling booth is not
a fit place for woman is not an ar
gument against woman suffrage; to
say that her husband would control her
vote or that granting the franchise
would be provocative of discord in the
household is literally begging the ques-
ton
Woman suffrage granting the wom-
an the privilege TO yote-is political
question pure and simple.
Is she a citizen. or is she not a citi-
zen?
Has she the necessary qualifications
for making a good citizen?
Is she nom franchised by reason OF
her sex? And by whom? Man. Has
she the right TO participate in fash
ioning the destiny Of the nation? II shS
has not who qualities her? Man.
Woman, by reason of her keener per-
ception and equal, if not superior IN
tel,ect coupIed with finer moral sense
and civic rectitude, is exceptionally well
qualified for citizenship.
Is man more so?
Woman possesses all the quaifica-
tions necessary for the making OF
good citizen, mentally and morally, and
that she is by right and justice enti-
fled to the ballot none can successfully
deny.
As wage-earner and housekeeper'
woman shares with man all the burdens
Of government and by man is denied
the right 10 participate in carrying out
the functions of government.
The question is, Are women citizensE
she may hold property, operate busi-
ness, pay taxes, perform all the rune
TONS of citizenship-and yet is denied
the only recognition of citizenship-ths
right to vote.

qualification of might making right
