Preston, that the Legislature may,
without the consent of the people in
The BELT, take them and their ter
ritory into the City Of Baltimore, is
put of keeping with the American
idea of the right Of a person to Sc
lect the government under which he
may choose to hive, and Is as shock
ing to every person who believes in
Free Government, as the subjuga-
ton of Belgium by the Germans.
Notwithstanding this, Mayor Pres

Baltimore upon the proposition, not

1t in the exercise of its liberties, to turn
always to the Supreme Master and cast

for aid and succor in every hour Of trial. to
the end that the great aims to which our

1t Is said that this plank was so
important that Judge Soper was
called from the retirement of his
home for computation, notwithstand-
ing he was then a candidate for
election; and that the subject matter
of this plank WAS JUDGE SOPER'S
DELIBERATE CONCLUSION OF
LAW, and its uhraseology was his,
AND THE ORIGINAL DRAFT WAS
IN HIS HANDWRITING.
This being so, this plank must be
considered Judge Soper's judicial
opinion upon the method of extern
sion of municipal limits PROVIDED
BY THE CONSTITUTION.
This year Mayor Preston and the
Republican Party declare against
this same HONEST AND CONSTR

unfortunately, just when one must
 nave so many of these pretty trifes,
 the price of handbags is steadily soar
 Ing. One reason for this is the short
 age of leather-pin seal and morocco,
 olo standbys for handbag use, are al-
 most impossible to obtain in sufficient
 quantity. Skilled labor is also scarce: ::
 handbag makers expert in their art are usually foreigners and most of them are now fighting for their coun-
 trles instead of making bags for wom- en, use. The dearth of leather means or course, fabric bags in great num- per, but the reticules of silk, velvet ana Paisley are so charming that no ohe glves a regretful thought to the neat leather affairs that used to swing rom feminine fingers. As might be expected, though, now that all the Iemlnlne world has taken to carrying laprlc handbags, women who must be eAcIuSlVe and ultra smart are de- Iiiaholng leather bags-just to be diff 1erent! The exceedingly chic bag for spring, therefore, is of glazed kid to match the soft kid of the boot, and twin orders are given by milady these oays; one order going to the boot maker for a pair of distracting but toned walking boots of fine glazed kid ana the other order to a bagmaker TOT spring handbag of exactly the same material. These new glazed kid bags have metal frames-another re- version to an aforetime fashion-and sometimes frames of delicately etched or engraved silver. Of course, such bag is exQuisitely lined and fitted With mirror, change purse and vanity belongings.
 These new kid bags are quite diff ferent in appearance from the prim, plain leather bags of a few seasons ago. The shapes are very fanciful and an oval or melon design seems best Mixed. As oval as a pigskin foot ball is a smart little bag of pale tan

pallingly expensive and cost up to
 thirty or forty dollars each, but there
 are models of black satin trimmed
 with Paisley that may be had for
 from five to ten dollars. Fifteen dol
 lars, is really modest price to pay
 for smart bag just now and twenty
 dollars is not exorbitant-if one can afford to be particular about the small
 belongings of the costume. The pouch shaped bag is most favored in Paisley and the top of the bag is drawn up on rings through which the cord handles run, or by a gilt or silver gate-top with slender chain handle. Such a bag, in long and very narrow pouch shape, has around its center or widest portion, three rows of narrow black satin ribbon, closely pleated. Jade bracelets and silk tassels attached to small jade rings may be bought, all ready to attach to pouch handbags made at home. A nimble fingered woman can evolve a very stunning bag in this way, out of bit of old Chinese brocade or Paisley shawl ma- terial. Very smart indeed is such a bag, made of black soiree silk beaded around the center with steel and
