u IBBONS, which have so long been
IN accessory to everything in aI,-
parel, have progressed until they enter
into the making of as many garments
as they have adorned. They are pres
ent in every sort of dress, from the
simplest street frock to the most COM
plicated of evening gowns-not merely
as accessories, but as a part of the
garment, or as its trimming. At the
same time they flourish in accessories
and in millinery as never before. The
new season will bring us tailored
clothes with ribbon vests or with rib
bon ruches for trimming, or ribbon ap-
plique and simulated embroideries, and
numberless ribbon furnishings. and
adornments on afternoon. and evening
dresses promise an interesting theme,
Of which we had the beginning in the
early spring.

part in the handsome afternoon dress
of which picture appears here. This
model for the coming season Is made
Of georgette crepe over satin slip.

pears to be independent of the others,
but these two items are enough to give
the styles conference. Wolfe, batiste
georgette provide the sheer materials !;
crepe de chine, silk shirtings and satin
answer for heavier ones, and in style
there is everything from very man
nish, high-necked shirts with narrow
plated bosoms. high collars, long
sleeves, to deliberately embroidered
geofgette affairs with short sleeves and
neck either round or having a collar.
With all this variety the blouses, espe-
cially those of sheer cottons, are un-
usually tasteful.
The handmade blouse, in fine cot
tons, continues to do honor to needle
women, holding first place as a dainty

estimation of the best dressed women.
These blouses are prettily decorated

choice in laces. Many of the tailored
blouses are long sleeved, as they
should be, but there are plenty of ex-
ceptions to the rule in this matter. The
three-quarter length sleeve is happy
compromise between the popular elbow
and the long sleeve. The best liked
collars are those that are high at the
back, with "V"-shaped opening at the
front. They are made of the same ma

correspond.
One of the new blouses, shown
above, emphasizes embroidery. The
front is extended into a peplum and is
covered with it. Since there is SO
much of it in this position it is neces-

sleeves have none and are finished
with a binding The round neck is al
lowed very simple pattern outlining
its shape. The color contrasts are not
bold, but pleasing and soft.

and one can imagine it in any of the
seasons rich, dark colors, livened by
the introduction of touches of vivid
color in the embroidery. A long tunic
is boX-plaited, divided at the sides
from waist to hem and rounded at the
bottom. The back portion overlaps the
front at each side and this feature in
the construction of the dress is brought
out by the ribbon border that finishes
the tunic about the edges. The bodice
is cut in the kimOno style, with three
quarter-length sleeves, also bordered
with ribbon. An embroidered panel at
the front of the bodice provides pat
tern that is repeated at the bottom, Of
the tunic 1t is a large pattern and
mainly in the same color as the dress
and it's ribbon border.
The same ribbon is used for an in
genious and pretty girdle. The girdle
slips under the ribbon border at each
side and turns into two flat loops that
make an unexpected and attractive
finishing touch for the waistline.

RUSHTON WILL NOT
 COME WEDNESDAY Says Candidates Have Not Taken Up Plans for Can
 didates' Day

Ray Rushton. candidate for the Senate short term. has cancelled his engagement to speak in Birmingham next Wednesday, for the occasion of Candidates Day, owing to the fact that other candidates have not agreed to the proposal to hold a joint dis cussion of the various issues in the campaign.
 Emmet O'Neal and Frank S. White lave arranged for a joint debate on the prohibition question for Tuesday night at the Jefferson theatre, but this. in the opinion of Algernon l.. smith. campaign manager for Mr Rushton in Jefferson county. is a departure from the spirit of the Can didates' Day" arrangement in which MT. Rushton acquiescea.
 MT. Smith addressed the following letter to The Age-Herald:
 ITO the Editor of Tie Age Herald:
 ''On April 2S l wrote you stating that MT. Ray Rushton. candidate for the senatorial short term. would be in Birmingham on Wednesday, May ,. for the occasion of Candidates Day.' when all the gentlemen entered in this race were to join in a discuss ion of the issues involved in the cam paign.
 Other candidates. unfortunately, have not agreed to this proposal in the sense In which Mir. Rushton ac- cepted it. Two of the candidates are to indulge in joint discussion of the prohibition question here on May 4, according to announcement. but nat urally MT. Rushton is not interested in this engagement. He considers the prohibition question as an issue that has been settled and he stands for enforcement of the present laws and respect for the constitutional provi- sions affecting the liouor traffic Since the Candidates Day programme seems to have developed into the dis cussion of prohibition alone. Mir Rush ton will not visit Birmingham Wednesday as previously announced

 BONDURANT CONFIDENT
 At the O'Neal headquarters in the First National Bank building there appears to be a spirit of hopefulress and apparent confidence in the sue cess of the former governor.

Ex-Governor O Nears announce ment of his candidacy on the broad platform announced ty him assures
 his election. Strong in all the ele- ments of general states manship, vigor- ous in his pronunciamentos. honest in his convictions and superb in his de- livery, he stands today true repre- sentative of old time. Jeffersonian de- mocracy-an advocate of personal lib- erty. of decreased taxation. of lifting the burden from the oppressed and of truly representing the sentiment of
 tho people of Alabama.
 Letters from every section of the tate and visitors to these headquar- ters have convinced our committee that ONeal represents true public sentiment in all his 6eliverances and that he will win by dn overwhelming majority in the state.
 Tn Jefferson county we confidently predict that he will carry a majority over all his competitors for with him ara men of all classes. who are active in his support-the laborer and the capitalist. the consistent prohibitionist as well as that element favoring an abrogation of extreme Legislation which has been imposed upon us.
 Tn point of ability, the ex-governor is recognized as peer of any man who has ever occupied the seat in the American Senate. The electors agree with us that when he is elected Ala bama will resume it's position in the American Senate that was given it by Morgan. Pettus and their predeces- sors and they rejoice that the oppor- tunity is now afforded to thus con- 1 tribute to the gallantry of American 1 statesmen.
 From the Tennessee valley, from the mountain country from the Black ] Belt, from the wiregrass and from the seacoast comes the cheering news that
