Naturally, the evening wraps employ
heavier materials than those used for
dress composition. Chiffon velvet, cire
satin. ribbed silks. and novelty brocades
all have place In the coat scheme. The
application Of tinsel embroideries Is an
important part Of the decorative beauty.

to leave on In the ornamentation OF the

that while he was In the thundercloud,

We have recently received word
from Newport that Mrs. French
Vanderbilt and Mrs. John Nicholas
Brown-whose names are placed
prominently in the list of notable
"antis"-have also put their names to
an appeal petitioning the authorities
to grant voice to women taxpayers
in municipal questions. Of course
these women taxpayers do not ask
for an extension of the franchise to
women in general-their exclusive
ness does not seem to permit this.
Evidently these society women have
come to the conclusion that in their
particular cases rights of citizenship
demand a voice in public matters.
They have doubtless become indig-
nant over their own helplessness in
the face of the fact that they pay
enormous taxes. 1t is a case of the |

CLEVELAND. May 20. - Owner
Hedges of the Browns made 1t known
yesterday that he would like to buy
one of Griffiths pitchers. Griffith said
he was willing to sell either Engel,
Hopper, Ayers or Bentley. 1t was up
to Hedges to make his pick. but when
he learned the amount Griffith expect
ed he declared he was not In the mar

bail players; he would give probably
$4,000 for Ty Cobb, but that would be
the maximum.
When Griffith told him what he
would take to part with one Of the
pitchers named Hedges declined en-
phatically, and there is no chance now
of such a deal being made.
