 It has always been the custom, not only of Mayor Wilson, but of others, of presenting a communication that was to be read at a regular meeting of the board of aldermen, to the members Of the board the same po- litical faith as the mayor assembled in caucus. At this caucus the subject would be gone over thoroughly and action to be taken at the open meet ing of the aldermen would be dis cussed.
 On Monday night Mayor Wilson failed to follow this precedent and as result he has raised the ire of sev- eral Republican leaders in the coun- cil, who believe that the mayors ac- ton was a deliberate affront.

Washington, Jan. 22-Taxes on amusement admissions will not be increased by the war revenue bill. The cOnferees agreed today to rescind their previous decision to increase the rate from 10 to 20 per cent.

Mayor Wilson has plucked from the atmosphere an idea, or at least he has premonition, that James J. Walsh, speaker of the House in the General Assembly, will be the next Republican candidate for governor and that an upstate man will be named as his running mate for the office of lieutenant governor.
 The antagonistic feeling toward the mayor expressed by Republican all dermen dates back to the last meet ing of the Common Council on Mon day night. When a communication from the mayor was read, in which he asked for a merger of the police and fire and health and charities de- partments, and changes in the board of education, it was the first intima- ton that Republican aldermen had, that the mayor not only had a cora~

A stroll through establishments,
whose styles we know to be authorita-
tive soon verifles the assertion made
by manufacturers that tailored suits
are growing fancier. That is the first
impression to be gathered from almost
any display. But one must not draw
conclusions too quickly. It has come
to the place where there are several
distinct types Of the tailored suit, in
Guiding the knock-about suit, the walk
ing suit and the promenade suit (Which
must be another name for what we
have known as the formal suit.) The
knock-about and walking suits will
please those who are welded to severe
tailor-made, while promenade and
formal suits are for those who like
departures from this type.
Probably the influence OF French
ideas has promoted the success Of the
fancier tailored suits, for the severe
type has never been q favorite with
Paris. Where there is no place for a
gay or frivolous or dainty touch to APP
parel, French designers seem to feel
hampered; they do not like the type
Of suit that attends strictly to the
business Of being practical and well
made. They delight in unexpected lit
tie decorative touches that have no
reason for existing, except to be in

straight revers that extend over the
shoulder and widen at the back into

to the waistline at the front, making
plenty Of opportunity for a fancy

separate affair. The choker collar
Is everywhere present, but is often
convertible and is either Of fur or fur
fabric or Of the material in the suit.
Belts are narrow and may be taken
off SO that the suit is worn with or
without them. Occasionally q suit IL
shown with two belts, one Of the fab
ric and one Of leather. Not all coats
are long. There are those Of the short

best in the dressier suits. Their bodies
are semiftted. Sleeves are long and
plain with occasional narrow turned
back cuffs for small pointed flare,
and skirts are ankle length and only
moderately narrow, the hobble variety
never having achieved success among
