If any one tendency can fnlrly be said
to domlnato when variety Is tho keynote
of the hour. It Is in tho direction of the
prtneeste effect. Whllo actual severe gowns
if tho sort are few, thoso which suggest
the lines are many and all exceedingly
(harming at well as smart. Other models
fxlst nnd are equally fashionable, Indeed,
It would seem as though something could
l found suited to all nefds and tastes,
but tho prlncene Idea crops up In various
forms, whllo Mtons nro almost ubiquitous,
m completely do they outnumber all other
wraps. Materials are so numerous, so
lieaittlful In texturo and bewitching In

costumes that has been sent us from tho
deslgncra of Paris is of barego In dark
blue. Tho skirt Is laid In tiny lucks at
tho wntst line, which form a yoke, nnd at
tho lower edge Is trimmed wllh stitched
lintids of taffeta that simulate n llounco nnd
very nearly cover it. Tho bodlco Is a tiny
Kton that Is cut out at the neck and Is
short enough to reveal n bit of the bodlco
over tho belt, Tbo edgo of tho Jacket Is
llnlshcd with stitched silk, but It turns back
In rovers that aro elaborato with embrold
'ry lu Persian colors. Tho waUl. beneath

between each two of which Is Insertion of
Valenciennes lace, and tho belt a soft girdle

exquisite gown Is ctnmlno lu the

the new prlnccssc skirt, that runs up lo

flounce that runs from tho front breadth.
Kdglng thn flounce aro bnuds of stitched
panne with tucks above, nnd heading It Is
a second band, whllo straps ot panno run
over the shoulders. Tho Kton Is short, with
-. its tiny revere and odgo also of stitched
panne, 'whll? the fascinating llt(le bodlco Is
tif white ercpo dc Chlno laid In groups of
tucks between which are applied
liandB ot cream guipure. As Is
commonly' the enso with the prlnccssc-
klrt, tho Eton curves up at the

Another gown that carries out the contln
nous lino Is of the Imported veiling In soft
ilovo gray hung over white. The skirt Is
full nuil arranged In n succession of shir
rings nt tho wnlst that form n yoke, while
the lower edge Is finished by three over
lapping narrow bias frills, that are cacl
edged with a narrow applique of guipure
Tho bodice takes the blouso form with mi
uprn front nnd 1b shirred to form a deep
girdle. The front Is of white batiste with
bands of the gulpuro, that tall from a
shallow yoke of flowered silk In which Is
found a lino of pale blue. Finishing the
blouse Is n sailor collar ot the batisto edgod
with lace, and the stock collar Includes Uuy
points of blue panne that match the thread
found In tho yoke. At the waist Is worn
n narrow crush belt of white, In spltn of
Its linn between the two tho shirring on
skirt nnd waist match to a ulccty and give
the suggestion ot the gown that Is cut In
one.
Pretty L'lntli Crentlon.
Cloth Is always a favorlto for early wear
and is shown In colors and quality to ollcit
tho keenest admiration. A really exquisite
:nntumo is of the finest kid-finished sort in
the shade known as pastel-tan, Hint closely
resembles what wo onco know as fawn.
The skirt Is rut en prlnccssc, with the
slightly full circular flounce; the Jacket Is
a. tiny Kton. The flounce is edged with a
narrow band of point do Vcnlnc In deep
rrem, abovo which is a mere Una of gold,
then covered for the remainder of Its sur
face with French knots lu pale bluo silk ar
ranged not too closely. Tho Jacket matches
It, being Also strewn 'with tho little knots,
and is both short and cut out nt the neck,

and forming shoulder straps nro bands ot
lace with edges of a mero thread of gold,

ranged In groups of tucks with white Valen
ciennes lace between. The entire schomo
ot color Is delightful. The pale blue on the
fawn Is exceedingly happy, whllo tho Per-
alan revera and the yellow of tho waist give a
depth and quality to tho whole. Nothing
marks the Imported model so surely as Its
color scheme. To wrlto of touches of blue

trasts as a bit of violet on bluo Is to
poorly express the result, yet It Is all
the pen will do. Tho slightest error In the
selection of each shade would mean failure,
and, for that reason, tho attempt
should never bo mado by any
untrained designer, but tho truo Parisian
has an eyn for color that seldom falls and
gives us results that arc as fascinating ns
they are novel. A bewitching little cos-
tumo of palu blue bnrego serves to ex
emplify tho fact and Is thoroughly charming
In Itself. The skirt Is circular with two
scams at front and back and each side of
each scam is a group of tucks, approxi
mately half an Inch deop, each of which Is
stitched a second tlmo close to tho edge
with the tiniest cord of bluo nnd white
that runs to nothing, as tho tucks ceaso a
few inches below tho waist Mine. The
bodlco Is an open blouse with n big sailor
collar of whllo batiste, with edging and
entro deux of cream lace, that Is also laid
In tucks similar to thoso on the skirt, and
that Includes n front of bluo nnd white
striped batiste that falls from a shallow
yoke ot silk. The silk is n flowered taf
feta In pale blues and greens with Just a
lino of violet, but this same shado ot violet
appears in the stock, and gives the gown
Its final chic touch. The casual observer
might even pass tho color by cleverly, as It
Is blendod with tho scheme, but the acute
frenchman has seized upon nnd so wrought
It Into the gown as to hnvo achieved a
singular success.
Only n Utile Until t'nril.
Oold Is not to bo worn In any aggressive
way. Its time of being used In masses has
passed, but bits and touches arc still found
on some cxqulsllo models. A genuinely
Parisian creation in black ctamlnc has the
skirt edged with a wide band of white, that
Is overlaid by bands of black silk, ar
ranged in points which alternately run up
nnd down, and each ono of which Is held In
placo by n tiny gold button nt each end.
With It Ib worn an Kton that Is cnllarless
and that has a similar deep band at the
lowor edgo which gives a glrdlo effect. The
buttons aro small In tho extreme, making
mero points of gold, nnd tho wholo result
Is as good as It Is novel. Ono of the gowns
already described has threads of gold out
lining tho heavy laco and similar treat
ment Is to be noted upon many others.
but the craze, as n craze, has hod tts day.
Sliver and steel take Its placo and are
often used with exceptionally good results.
A costume that has only Just reached these
shores Is of opal gray In softest kid
finished cloth. Tho circular flounce, tho ro
vers of tho Kton and tho band that edges
It aro of darker gray panne covered with
rows of stitching In steel thread. Tho color
scheme Is perfect and the bit of brightness
lent by the stitching serves to accentuate
and brighten tho whole. Grays, by tho way,
aro much liked and offer all shades, from
tho tender opal that Is almost white to tho
dark, serviceable stone color. A charming
costumo In a tender Intermediate shade has
thn prlnccsse skirt trimmed with nn Inch
wide band of fancy silver gallvon abovo the
hem of tho flounce, whllo similar bands
edge the quaint Kton that Is cut In dlrec
tolre lines.
4'aprn Itinlciiil of Wriiin.
With these costumc3 no outer wraps are
required. Tiny as the Jackets may be, they
mean both covering and warmth sufficient
tor tno uaimy spring days, nut wo are
offered somo really charming little capes
that can be added when thcru Is a chill In
tho air, and that aro Inherently chic andl
smart. For tho most part they are black,
but may be all of taffeta or of taffeta com
bined with chiffon frills as preferred. The
essential features arc tho' big pointed re
ers that must exist to warrant their name
ot Incrnyablc and tho deep turnover collar
that finishes tho neck. An excellent ex
ample Is of black' taffeta with applique ot
cream guipure and touches of vhltb chiffon.
""The upper enpe Is plain to tho shoulders,
where it 18 edged with a bias frill headed
by the 'laco and turns back at the front to
form tho rovers and lenvo tho throat
slightly open. The under cape Is all
bias frills and where tho revers meet Is a
big chnu ot black chiffon with long ends,
whllo outlining the folded edgo of the ro
vers Is a bit of white chiffon laid lu soft
folds that Is rarely becoming. More elabo
rate models mean chiffon frills nnd
uppor capes of applique lace. but
always ictaln tho shape and style.
Whero they nro over-warm or over-largo
boas aro used, and the season Is replete
with novelties until description defies tho
pen. Ono of t ha simplest Is fringed silk
drawn up through tho center nnd finished
with long ends of velvet ribbon. Neither
chiffon nor feathers aro now, but tho former
In white, edged with narrow block velvet
ribbon, becomes novel nevertheless. Keath
ern nro so beautiful and so becoming as al
wr.ys to hold their place, and some ex-
luslve Importers are showing white laco
held by dainty rosebuds for evening wear.
Srtmou of 1'lovtcr for llntn.
Hats aro rarely beautiful. It Is a flower
season and (lowers nbounti, but they nro
charming In color nnd arc often veiled nnd
softened by chiffon or tulle. Thcso two
materials vie with ono another for favor,
ond ono or the other appears upon tho
greater numbor of models shown, Tho pre
vailing shape la low nnd extends well over
the face, but we have toques that rest back
on tho hair and some piquant trlcome
shapes that aro exceedingly chic worn by
the right woman. Hoses predominate. Ot
that there can bo no doubt, but they vary
so widely In color as to moan endless vnrloty
and are so soft and Irregular In form as to
mean charming garnitures rather than over
realistic blossoms, I. lieu also Is a feature.
A lovely exnmple Is found In tho soft Imi
tation Alencon In cream that Is draped over
the entlro low frnme, Its tine edgo drooping
and forming tho brim, while the only con
trast Is found In tho soft pink of tho tum
bling flowers that rent under tho brim
agalust the hnlr. Another is entirely ot
black chenille dotted tulle, with masses of
yollow flowers and soft green follngo at
front and under brim. A fascinating blnck
model Is big nnd low and mndo of soft
fancy straw, with a rim of whlto piped with
black, nud Is trimmed with blh oose-
pctaled roses In blaok and silver tissue that
aro exceedingly chic nud tasteful.

Tho contest lu the Missouri legislature
over tho alum baking powders has been
wntched with great Interest, by both tho
consumers of baking powders and the manu
facturers of tho alum brands, In ovcry sec
tion of tho country.
A statuto In that state had been adopted
prohibiting the manufacture or salo ot alum
powders. Tho makers of such powders con
tested tho law In the courts, but It was
sustained. They then sought to have It re
pealed, but tho good sense and Integrity of
the members of the assembly camo to the
rescue of tho advocates of pure food and
defeated tho efforts of the most powerful
lobby known in .Missouri for years. The
prohibitive law remains.
The statement Is made byjho legislative
committee to which tho bill wns referred
that tho manufacturers of alum powders
havo combined In a trust, and nnnually pay
Into a legislative fund n largo amount of
money to procure action In their Interest,
nnd lo prevent the passage of pure food
laws. The following extracts from tho re
port of this committee against the repeal of
the alum law nro quoted from the St. Louis
lnter-Stnto Orocer:
The purpose of this bill Is to repeal so
much of the present statute as makes It un
lawful to uso alum In food and food com
pounds. In tho opinion of this committee
that should not bo done. If we nro to pluce
any fnlth whatever In the unanimous testi
mony of all the leading chemists of the
union, Including those In the public services
of tho government, as well as those em
ployed In all tho principal colleges and
universities of tho country, there can be
o lloulit That Alum I" h Poison.
and that Its tile In food is hurtful to health
and dangctouH to life, especially In tho ease
of children and young girls nnd dcllcato
women. The voluminous and overwhelming
testimony which hns been given by scientific
experts upon this ubjcct, Is rorrborntcd by
the testimony of hundreds of eminent physi
cians In nctlve practice, Including the medi
cal heads of both the army nnd navy of
the United States, and Including, also,
some live hundieil physicians of this state,
all testifying, with reninrknble unanimity,
to the sumo effect, that nlum l a poison,
and that Its uso as a food Ingredient should
bo prohibited. In addition to that It Is a
fact that the use of alum In food and com
pounds that aro used In tho preparation of
food has been long prohibited by a law In
England, France, llermany and other
Km oiican countries, and the laws are rigidly
enforced.
Against this grent mass of concurrent
testimony, In which science, experience and
law nit combine In condemning alum as
n food Ingredient, there Is scarcely a pro
test from any source worthy to be treated
as an nuthorlty. It Is true that certain
chemists, employed by tho American (alum)
Baking Powder Association or Trust, the
General Chemical Company and tho Penn
sylvanla Salt Company, two corporations
organized In Now Jersey, and the greatest
manufacturers of alum In tho country, have
expressed tho opinion that alum, when used
In making bread, loses Its poisonous quality
by some means in ,thc process of cooking
(but this Intercstedi testimony is contra
dicted, and In the opinion of this commit
tee, overwhelmingly refuted, by lnrge num
bers of
The Mont I'linioiin " I o n t lt
ot the country, who hnvo shown by re
ncatcd and conclusive experiments with
alum baking powdero thnt n poisonous re
Blduum is left In bread after baking, which
Is extremely harmful to health and danger
ous to life. Many serious nnd fatal Ills
In given cases have been traced directly
to this cause.
Tho pcoplo of tho state are entitled to be
protected against frauds which Imperil their
health land lives, and this committee is tin
willing to repeal a law having thnt end In
view, merely to oblige those who would
make pecuniary profit by imposing upon a
confiding public.
Tho clap-trap about this bill being op
posed by a so-called trust engaged In
manufacturing baking powders without tho
uso ot alum, Bcarcely deserves to bo no
ticed. It should not matter, If It were
true. Kvcn If somo trust should perchance
declare that poison Is a bad thing In human
food, should we therefore begin at onco to
feed poison to the people? Thnt would bo
carrying trust opposition to the point of
criminal stupidity.
A l.iir Alum I'linilcr Corruption
I 'ii ii. I.
That thero Is a rich and powerful associ
ation or trust Interested In the manufac
ture nnd sale of alum baking powders, does
not admit ot doubt, and that that trust has
been back of this movement to repeal this
law Is nlmost equnlly certain. This alum
trust or association Is mndo up of sixty
seven alum baking powder manufacturing
companies and two grent chmlcal com
panies (tho two New Jersey corporations
nbovo mentioned as engaged In making
nlum). Thn members of this association
contribute annually to a legislative fund, to
be expended In preventing puro food legis
lation which has for Its object tho pro
hibiting of thn uso of nlum as a food adul
terant, and It Is believed that not less than
$100,000 aro annually expended In that direc
tion.

There was only ono Incident In the day
ml that was tho serving of a mandamus
on the Judges nnd clerks In one ot the
precincts.
At 3:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon the
udges nnd clerks In tho Flrot precinct of
tho First ward were fcrved with a man
damus Issued by Judge Kstcllo of tho dli.-
rlct coutt requiring the election board to
permit ono Patrick T. Smith, who claimed
bo nn elector In this city, the right to
oto for members of tho Hoard of Kduci-
lon. Patrick T. Smith admitted In his
ppllcatlon thnt he was not a property
wner nnd had no children of school age,
but claimed, notwithstanding that fact, he
hail tho right to voto for members of tho
Hoard of Kducntlon. Ho nppenred before
Judge Kstcllo and convinced the court that
was not uecessary to own property or
havo children of school ago in order to
oto on the school question. It will be
noted that this order Is contrary to the
Instructions of tho county Judge, who Is
sued positive Instructions to the Judges

illions of Women
Use Cuticura Soap
Exclusively
MILLIONS of Women Use CUTICURA SOAP, exclusively,
for preserving:, purifying-, and beautifying the skin, for cleansing-
the scalp of crusts, scales, and dandruff, and the stopping
of falling- hair, for softening, whitening, and soothing red, rough,
and sore hands, in the form of baths for annoying irritations,
inflammations, and chafings, or too free or offensive perspiration, in
the form of washes for ulcerative weaknesses, and many sanative
antiseptic purposes which readily suggest themselves to women
and mothers, and for all the purposes of the toilet, bath, and
nursery. No amount of persuasion can induce those who have
once used it to use any other, especially for preserving and purify
ing the skin, scalp, and hair of infants and children. CUTICURA
SOAP combines delicate emollient properties derived from
CUTICURA, the great skin cure, with the purest of cleansing
ingredients and the most refreshing of flower odors. No other
medicated soap ever compounded is to be compared with it for pre
serving, purifying, and beautifying the skin, scalp, hair, and hands.
No other foreign or domestic toilet soap, however expensive, is to
be compared with it for all the purposes of the toilet, bath, and
nursery. Thus it combines in ONE SOAP at ONE PRICE,
vir., TWENTY-FIVE CENTS, the BEST skin and complexion
soap, the BEST toilet and BEST baby soap in the world.

The meeting of the executive committee
f tho Commercial club whh not largely at

of tho warmest sesslnna held lu tunny
months. The matter under dUcusslon wns
he proposed raise In rent on tho club room
by tho Hoard of Tiade and Kuclld Mnrtln
uppllcd the pyrotechnics.
When tho question wns brought up on tho
statement of tho secretary, Mr. Mai tin
tatcd that ho had prepared a few facts on
the subject nnd wns forry that thero wns
not a larger number of members present.
He then took up the last annual statement
of tho Hoard of Trade and analyzed It.
The first item stnted that thn income
of the pnst year from tho rent of tho build-
ng was J22.000 in round numbers, hut that
reference to the report of tho secretary
showed that $0,000 ot this sum wns cash on
hand at thn beginning of the year, making
the actual receipts about $lti,00O, or about
$300 per tin mini moro than It was In iSfir,.
Tho speaker said that as a stockholder
In the Hoard of Trade he was In favor of
raising rents, and then added:
"Tho Hoard of Trado Is cither a setnl-
publtc Institution or it is a building as
sociation. If it Is tho latter It Is all right
to raise rent; if tho former, tho Commer
cial club should havo something to say
about the proposed rent. Under existing
conditions the Commercial club has taken a
burden from the Hoard of Trade. Formerly
that body (lid tho work ot tho club nnd
had to pay the expenses wo nro now paying.
Now It has nothing to do but to collect Its
rents."
After other discussion tho proposed In
crease In rents was referred to a commit
tee consisting of J. F. Carpenter, Charles
H. l'lckens and J, H. Knox, who will pre
sent tho position ot the club to tho Hoard
