SUFFRAGE D12HATK DRAWS.
Even the pleasure of gathering
around picturesque tables laden with
flowers, silver and china and consum
ing Innumerable cups of tea, coffee or
chocolate and great quantities of that
latest gastronomic "agony," the straw
berry sandwich, couldn't tempt the
women In the Colony Club into their
most frequented haunts. They didn't
tay away from the tables because of
the season of penitence and renun
ciation, but because of an exciting
debate in one of the big rooms be
tween the suffragists and the antl
suffragists. The debate lasted from
S.30 until almost 6 o'clock, and many
fromlnent women were among the
speakers.
Tht anti-suffrage side were Miss
Ida M. farbell, Mrs. Barclay Hazard,
Mrs. Francis M. Scott, president o!
association opposed to the further ex
tension of suffrage to women, and
Mrs. Blssell of Wilmington. On the
other side were Mrs. Catt, Mrs. Rich
ard Aldrlch, Mrs. Harriet Stanton
Blatch and Mrs. Henry Vlllard.
Mrs. Hazard said woman's suffrage
would have a tendency to promote
the advance of Socialism, which she
considered a great danger. Many of
her hearers seemed to think as she
did about Socialism, and nodded their
heads sympathetically at her remarks.
"Why," said Mrs. Hazard, "I found
one of my servants reading a book
WhIch she said she got from her club,
and which said that the rich had -no
right to their property." The listener
were .properly thunderstruck.
Mrs. Vlllard said that the result of
woman's suffrage were not the only
thir.gs tJ be consider?!. The real
question was whether it wis rlrfit. If
thing was right its resi'lU woiild be
rtght. Mrs. Catt sai l that the suff
rage movement was non-partisan md
non-sectarian. New York Press.
OUR LITTLE MANNERISMS.
It may be only a way of speaking,
a way of looking, or some little man
nerism that offends.
Of course one doesn't always realize
the results caused by doing things
"our way"i but that doesn't excuse
us.
Think out how you look when you
tell something disagreeable and which
1b unnecessary and uncalled for.
v Think out if often you don't try the
patience of your friends with a con
tinued history of your ways and weak
ness, and whether after awhile It does
not take the form of nagging.
And even from thoso we love, nag
ging is something very difficult X
bear.
A great sin is often forgotten, but
these continual little annoyances,
these continual disagreeable manner
isms, and the insisting of doing things
always "in your own way," these lit
tle "queernesses" are just as wrong
as the greater sins of people who have
greater temptations.
Many. a boy has drifted from homo
and happiness on account of a nag
ging, suspicious mother, his future
ruined.
Who Is to blame?
Many a girl has turned down the
primrose pathway of vice for lack of
some kind little word of appreciation.
Seme sickening, heartsick Influence
has often driven far apart those who
should be very near together.
It may not be "your way" to speak
these little words of appreciation, or
to do the considerate, helpful, aspir
ing things.
j But Is that an excuse?
Why not cultivate It?
Don't you think your ways and lit
tle queernesses are Just as wrong as
the greater sin of people who dally
have to meet the greater temptations?

) MAN PROTECTS THE DRIVER.
Fran Von Papp, the only woman in
Germany with a license to run a public
autocar, Is not having an easy time
In carrying on her new vocation. Her
masculine rivals recently made a pro-
Hrjuimnu nor' rn rrvin w nocaon rxrra
to drive her car alone. As proof of
this accusation they pointed out that
she was always accompanied by a man
who eat on the driver's seat -at her
Bide.
The authorises replied that the
male attendant was allowed her as a
protection against the assaults of
young Berlin, not because of her lack
of skill. It seems that whenever Frau
Von Papp's car stopped on the street
the urchins ct Berlin were in the
habit of crowding around It, opening
the carriage door, climbing in and
tumbling over the cushions. The town
authorities decided that she coeded an
assistant to protect her from the rab
ble until young Berlin became accus
tomed to seeing a woman driving a
public car through the streets of the
city. New York " Sun.
CHOOSING COLORS.
A woman may be a beauty or other
wise, according to "her cense of color.
If ehe knows hew to select the right
shade for her special type she has
discovered half the secret of good
dressing. A colorless blond should
avoid purple, dark green or black, but
can wear safely white, navy 'blue, pale
blue, pink, gray, amethyst and, pos
sibly, green, with a tinge of yellow
in it. The black-haired, red-cheeked
woman should be Judicious In her use
of her favorite reds and deep yellow,
as they have a tendency to give her
an ordinary; even coarse look, "one
will usually be at her best In white
and looks well in the champagne and
light tan tones. The red-haired wo
man should choose milk white, a dull
black and 1'ifcht and dark greens.
Browns and tans, contrary to the
usual belief, Impair the purity of her
complexion. Warm, light gray Is
usually becoming to the red-haired
woman, especially It she has brown
eyes, while very pale lemon Is ex
quisite with ruddy locks. Few of our
red-haired women recognize the possi
bilities of this last color, but It Is well
understood by the famous Parisian
dressmakers, who use gold and yellow
to enhance tho beauty of many of
their red-haired models. Indianapolis

THE SENSITIVE ONE.
And now, just a word or' two with
the very sensitive girl. There are
some hard lessons for you to learn,
my dear, but the course of training Is
Invaluable. Sensitiveness Is only an
other form of conceit, ycu know, and
when you have discovered that your
feelings are no more valuable than
any one else's, and no more likely to
be respected in fact, that you are the
one to respect other people's 'ycu
have taken tie first step toward be
coming a really agreeable and useful
member of society. When I run across
one of those sensitive plants in social
life whose feelings and whose temper
must always be watched over and
guarded like a charge of dynamite, I
losk at her sadly and think: My dear
lady, what a pity that you never went
to boarding school! And, by the way,
I never yet found one who had. Har

FASHION NOTES.
One of the new shades Is called
"dream color."
Soft girdles of silk or satin add the
perfect touch to the quaint new
dresses.
Cashmere la not only used for walk
ing suits, but also for dresses, while
peacock blue and ruby red remain in
favor.
A buckle crocheted of linen thread
finishes the belt of a linen suit on
which tho buttons are also crocheted.
The French are certainly going to
carry the clinging skirt to an extreme.
If you have a dainty pretty lace col
lar that isn't dcing duty anywhere
else, you can attach It to a simple
ready-made negligee.
Charming coiffure ornaments are In
nightly evidence wherever elaborate
dress Is seen.
Not only the shoes and gloves worn
with the smart walking suit are of
tan color, but the belt, the silk bow
at the collar, and also the umbrella
(on rainy days) Is of the same golden
hue.
One of the new and highly novel
arrangements of the sash Is so as to
have the effect of a waistcoat on a
trotting gown.
Tho long corsets look uncomfort
able but they are not, for the 'boning
only extends a reasonable distance be
low the waist however far the mater
ial may go.
There Is nothing smart about a hat
so large that it makes a woman look
top heavy.
The newest petticoat is a Princess
garment, which serves the purpose of
corset cover as well. It is made of
silk stockinet falling tightly to the
knees and finished with a lacy silk
frill, not too full.
A stunning new suit Is of a reddish
brown tone that is more the shade of
cold tongue than anything else.
Clothe. That Come High.
Clothes, the kind that are spelled
with a capital "C," mount to a price
that would seem like fiction if you
had not found it reality. There are
shops along 5th avenue where one
buys a gown or hat that Is, one
would If one had the money a3 a
collector buys a Corot or a Rubens.
The artiste O dear, no! nothing, so
plebeian as a dressmaker or a mil
liner herself weans, say, a costume
of lace with a rope of pearls to her
knees. She meets her customers In
a reception room where oriental rugs
hush the football and softly shaded
lights blend the colorings in the deco
rations. She looks my lady over.
The hired designers, the fitters, the
needlewomen do the rest. And the
bill comes in, $30 to $150 for a hat,
$300 to $2,500 for a gown. There are
plenty of prices like that In New
York. Then there are others that
gently lot you down, down until you
strike prevailing rock bottom at
about $15 for only the making of a
gown and $25 for a hat that is a
bat. Bioadway Maaai.
A Suggestion.
During the dinner hour on board a
steamer the ether day a passenger
was much disturbed by the vulgar
way in which the man who sat next
to him ate his meal.
At last, after watching him pick
a bone in a very primitive fashion,
he could control his feelings no longer,
and turning to the offending party, he
safd:
"Don't you think you would be more
comfortable it you took that out on
the mat?" Tit-Bits.
Every year there are said to be
500 deaths frcm hunger and destitu
tion in London.
New York City. Small wraps are
always in demand with the coming of
the warm Beason, and this year they
are being made in very pretty and at
tractive forms. This one is absolute
ly simple, made in cape style, yet is
so arranged as to fit a bit more close
ly to the figure than does the regula
tion cape and to give the effect of
sleeves. It appropriately can be made
to match the costume or of silk or
pongee in contrast therewith. In the
illustration pongee is trimmed with
taffeta and with soutache braid, but
there are so many bandings and
trimmings offered this season that the
possibilities of finish are almost In
numerable. Applique would be hand
some, soutache banding Is being much
used and the plain silk Is always sim
ple and effective.
The cape can be made in either one
or two pieces, that Is to say, either
with or without a seam at the centre
back.
The quantity of material required
for the medium size Is one and three
fourth yards twenty-one or twenty-
seven, seven-eighth yard forty-four
Inches wide, with four and one-half
yards of banding, nine yards of sou
tache. '
Cloth to Trim Tulle.
There Is an evolution to chronicle
of the prevalent mode of last year
for edging the skirt with taffetas or
satin. It Is cloth that has usurped
the privilege, and cut In arabesques
with a finish of soutache and a fur
ther ornamentation of filo-floss em
broidery It Is found on the most fra
gile of net frocks destined to grace
the afternoon affair of ceremony.
A White Season.
This Is a white season. Lovely
coats and skirts, suits of white linen,
pique and serge are the vogue.
Sleeveless Jacket.
The sleeveless Jacket is introduced
Into many a smart costume, tasselled
with chenille and Jet, and the hand
kerchief vest also appears, made of
black satin caught together beneath
a big Jet buckle.
As to Length of Skirts.
Skirts are longer. For all but the
typical walking suits they are long
and sweeping, while the street suits
have taken on another Inch and Just
escape the ground. This rule will
apply to the wash materials, and
wash materials are going to prevail
to an extent not known for many sea
sons. Blouse With Chemisette.
The pretty and attractive blouse
that closes at the front Is always
a youthful and satisfactory one, and
this model is exceptionally charming,
being made with a chemisette that
gives a dainty touch. As illustrated
It Is made of a pretty ring dotted
batiste with trimming of a simple
banding, while the chemisette Is lace
Insertion sewed together. But this
blouse can be i 'lized both for the
separate one and for the gown, and
consequently becomes adapted to al
most every seasonable material of the
simpler sort.
The blouse Is mnde with the fronts,
back and centre front. It is tucked
on becoming lines and the closing is
made Invisibly beneath the left edge
of the centre front. The chemisette
Is separate and arranged under it and
closes at the back, while the prettily
shaped collar finishes the neck of the
blouse.
The quantity of material required
for the medium size Is four and three
eighth yards twenty-one or twenty
four, three and one-eighth yards thirty-two,
or two yards forty-four inches
wide, with three-fourth yard eighteen
Inches wide for the chemisette, four
and one-half yards of banding.
LOWER PRICE FOR PIQ IRON
Fair Tonnage of New Contracts Se
cured, Though Many Concerns
Are Waiting.
New York. R. O. Dun & Company's
weekly review of trade says:
"Trade conditions are most respon
sive to the weather at this time of
year, and more seasonable tempera
ture brought distinct improvement
during the past week. Little net
change is noted in manufacturing ac
tivities, some plants resuming, while
idleness was increased elsewhere.
"Buyers are assembling at primary
markets to attend special sales, and
stocks of staple goods are running low
In retail stores because of conserva
tive purchwset. Mer;antile collec
tions are more prompt,, but transport
ing conditions are at the least satis
factory point of the year thus far, 19
per cent of the freight cars being
idle.
"Lower prices for pig Iron have been
named with good results, a fair ton
nage of new contracts being secured
although many concerns delay In the
hope of still better terms. As furnace
Interests reject orders for delivery
during the last six months of 1908 at
the lower figures named for spot bus
iness, it Is evident that present con
cessions are only for the purpose of
disposing of accumulated stocks.
"While the textile situation Is still
complicated by many conflicting influ
ences, prices of cotton goods are in
most cases as low as possible under
present conditions.
"As to woolens, there is a fair du
plicate business in men's wear. Wors
teds are In better demand than wool
goods.
"Developm-nts are slow In footwear
and leather. New (England shoe
manufacturers are Increasing their
output, and shipments are substanti
ally larger. A fair volume of dupli
cate orders for quick delivery of sum
mer goods are received."
