STRIPED SERGE POPULAR FOR SPRING.

I in for a run of white materials, which
may be due to the shortage of dyes OF
else to q desire on the part OF the
mills to provoke new buying. Some
manufacturers say that they can got
! no dyes in this country. and others say
they can get as much as they want
| So. betwixt these two statements the
mere layman is at a loss to know what
to think. However, the one fact that
| the layman does know Is that some
where, somebody, for some reason, is
putting white on the market.
Frocks That Look Like Suits.
In addition to this fashion for white,
as the new clothes come in, there Is
shown an evident disposition to make
q frock that looks like a suit except
that it is simpler and does not demand
a separate blouse. There is no longer
any combat against the street gown as
there was at the beginning, when
women felt that they were not prop
erly CARRIED unless they wore their
mannish uniforms in public.
One thing they do like, however, Is
to have a frock give the appearance
Of a suit. This is the remnant left Of
the tradition. The French designers
they like the originality of it and they
know candidly that it makes strong
er appeal to the Frenchwoman than
the Anglo-Saxon coat and skirt: so
they kill two birds, if not more, with
one stone.
So much has been established for a
year. but now the other side of the
shield Is beginning to show. Paris is
sending over suits that look like
frocks. There are quite number OF
models in the new assortment that
look like frocks until close investiga-
ton proves that the coat is cleverly
arranged over the skirt without hint
of a separate blouse. If the truth
were known there is no hint of
blouse. really. in the costume. Women
have found it more simple to slip the
clever jacket over a corset cover.
Bias Bands Come in With Stripes.
When we all knew it was to be
striped season it was easy to prophesy
that all manner of material cut on the
bias would be used as trimming, and
here prophecy did not go wrong.
The sketch of today shows one of
the newest of the striped serge suits.
which is built in a way to deceive the
onlooker into thinking it is a one
piece frock. The material is of blue
and white serge, the coat is fastened
with groups of buttons attached to
cords. the wide belt Is made of blue
leather to match the stripes. The nov
city i'll this one is that it is fastened
with one buckle only on the lower
strap.
The hem of the coat as well as the
hem of the skirt is made of a deep
bias band Of the fabric. The frock Is
quite smart and there is little doubt
that it will be widely copied as soon
as the moderate weather sets in, when
one can discard coats in the open.

Spurn Party Alliances and viii Hold
Own Caucuses.

The independents elected to the new
Congress. rejecting all proposals from
the old parties to join them in organizing
the House, are going to form themselves
into little caucus of their own and may
thereby hold the balance OF power, be a
determining factor in the election of the
Speaker, and settle the fate of a large
amount of important legislation
There are seven or eight of these men,
bers who owe no allegiance to either of
the old parties and are in no way bound
to support either the Republican or the
Democratic candidate for the Speaker
ship. Their votes will be needed by eth
er side. hence they are in a position to
dictate the terms upon which their votes
will be given. They can demand a voice
in the selection of the important commit
tees and favorable consideration of some
Of the measures which they will propose
to be enacted into laws.
The plans for a working compact be-
tween them have gone forward and it
