DRESS NOTES.

Dresses will be seven or eight in
ches from the floor during the COM
ing season.
Belts are high and narrow. or of
the draped sash effect, straight from
the neck.
There seems to be no indication OF
economy in the gowns; if anything,
elaborateness of the trimming and
material is more apparent.
Ribbons are being used more and
more.
The popularity Of the crepe de
chine, georgette crepe, foulard and
wolfe wanes not. The new ROdjer
material. with gold stripes on sat
in ground, holds its own.
Embroidered hens and panels
about a foot deep are among the
smart effects ar September gather

SALARY QUESTION
 PROVING PROBLEM
Compensation for Assistant Clerks of Consolidated
 Court Is Live Issue

Among the problems that are confront- ing the board of revenue at the present time are those of fixing the salaries of the assistant clerks of the consolidated court, which goes into effect on Janu- ary 15, at which time the fee system will be abolished so far as the county courts are concerned It is understood that Sam Blake, the present clerk of the city court, and w B. Copeland, clerk of the criminal court, are to be named as assistants to William J. Waldrop, clerk of the consolidated court.
 Both MT. Blake and Mr Copeland were elected by the people as clerks of their respective courts. and are on fee basis at the present time. While the legisla- ture fixed the salaries of many of the county officers it left those of the as sistant clerks of the courts to the board of revenue. MT. Waldrop yesterday sub mtted list of the number of assistant clerks for the consolidated court to the board of revenue and after looking over the list the board passed the matter over until the early part of the next week.
