,c worn over an Under skirt of different ma terial. In the pic. ture, the bodice and the tunic are made of broadcloth, braided with soutache and the skirt is of char mouse satin. The effect is exceedingly handsome and the gown is one of the extremely available sort for it can be utilized both for the street and for the house. It takes graceful lines and shows all the newest features. If an in- door gown only is wanted, however, the neck can be cut out to form a square or V and the sleeves can be made shorter although long sleeves with open as we'll as high necks are much used this season. The trimming of soutache has many ad- vantages. It is easy to apply and is in the height of style and it is exceedingly handsome as well, but as a mater of course, other. banding could be used. If the entire gown is wanted, the lower edge of the skirt can be finished with a hem only or with an upturned band to give the cuff effect. We are by no means rigid in our reproductions. We are using the Empire waist line but with it, haring skirts and various effects that certainly are not Empire in any strict sense. Serge, broad- cloth, gabardine and tafeta suggest them- selves at once for such a gown. Later. linen, pique, cotton crepe and fabrics of the sort will be hand- some made in this way. Among the new materials are crepes with brocaded figures and one of these would be ex- ceedingly handsome for such a gown. Cotton fabrics offer indeed many beauti- full designs as we'll as colors and the dim- culty this season is in making a choice, not in the oppor.

TRADE IN CHUNKS
SLIGHTLY BETTER
MORRIS WILLIAMS SAYS THERE
IS NO HOPE FOR SMALL
BoNED ANIMALS.

No change is seen in the local horse
market according to Morris Williams,
there being no call for the light boned
animals and the requirements for
army horses being about the same as
has been the case since the war began.
He says that the market Is very dull,
although the trade in chunks and
drafts picked up little last week. His
letter Is as follows:
l am little tardy in reporting the
horse market Of the past week, but the
truth is there Is so little variation from
week to week. I feel in making 4
weekly report that must be condemn
ed either for reporting something that
Is new but not true, or conditions that
are true but not new, and between the
two I suppose had better choose the
latter.
So all can truthfully tell you about
tns horse market is what have told
fo.' the past six weeks. The war
trade is the whole thing" and those
prices have been fixed all winter.
But 1t will not come aniss 20 again
state the requirements for army serv-
Ice. First of all the army horse wheth-
er for cavalry or artillery use, must
have good broad nat bone, must be
a stout built animal, not long, or rangy
nor leggy, must not be lower than fif-
teen hands, nor over sixteen. The
French will occasionally take good
shaped horse slightly over sixteen
hands high. The age must be Ave and
over. The Italians will take some
stout built rugged four year olds
around 1900.
The requirements for mules are
much the same as for horses, except
ing that the weight may run az light
as 1000 and the size from fifteen to
sixteen and a half hands provided all
of them, the small and the large ones
have the bone.
Don't forget that one point about the
army trade, that you can't sell them a
fine boned animal for dollar.
Eastern trade shows little, a very
slight improvement as the weeks 60
by Chunks and draft horses sold a
trif]e better the past week.
ne trade in farm animals is very
light and there is practically no de-
mand at all from the south. So you
men who own some of these fine boned
little horses, usually taken for the
southern trade, don't know what to
advise you to do with them, unless
you turn them into pasture where
they might happen to get on the rail-
road track and the Cruel engine"
comes along and kills your favorite
family horse. (What PITY. But 1t
can't be helped. Or you might tie
them up in neat lunches and trade
them for land In Old Mexico or any
other fairly good trades which might
occur to you. Anyhow don't raise any
more light boned horses of any kind.

lican leader in the house of represen-
tatives, and Colonel George Harvey,
