the house: "Is the speaker a mortal like
the rest of us?"
Among democratic possibilities for the
speakership is Representative John
Sharp Williams of the Fifth Mississippi
district" Last April he fiercely de
nounced General "Jake" Smith for his
conduct of the Philippine campaign, and
later endorsed Representative Sibley's
attack on the same office. In April,

President McKlnleys policy, as outlined
In the house by General Grosvenor, on
the question of free trade for Porto

on the ground of its creating a new raq'e
problem, and opposed the appointment
of a resident commissioner In the Islands,

1 FASHION
NEW YORK, Nov. 15. One of the most
effective evening gowns of the season I
saw the other day In the trousseau of an
autumn bride. It was of heavy pure
white broadcloth, appllqued and em
broidered In white and cream-colored
chenille. Clusters of grapes, with leaves,
formed the charming design, and stood
out from the cloth In a most realistic
manner. The bodice had a design of
this sort upon the breast while the same
delicate pattern, but of much larger size,
was exquisitely wrought upon every
broad panel of the long skirt which
must have weighed heavily upon the
wearer. Plain wide tucks or plaits of
cloth finished the skirt at the bottom.
Plaits showed also In the sleeves, where
they were stitched lengthwise and were
flat lying to the elbow, whence they
flared out into the enormous puffs, each
embroidered in grapes. The cuff which
confined this at the wrist showed a
narrow trailing vine only.
White broadcloth with sable and thick
Russian lace forms also an effective
winter combination. A frock of this
kind was made In one piece with a deep
yoke. At least half the bodice was made
of lace. Sable outlined every big rose in
the pattern of the lace, and the fur tails
fell from the breast on either side of the
front opening. This opening was over
the tucked cloth, embroidered between
the tucks In some conventional pink rose
design. The skirt had a deep full flounce
-of the lace from foot-to-knee, where it
met a close-fitting cloth which outlined
the hips. Some small crocheted buttons
showed at the back of this.
In the trousseau of Miss Ruth Hanna,
who Is soon to be a bride, is a lovely
dark blue taffeta. The silk is of a very
heavy quality, and the skirt is tucked
up and down from the belt to where the
flounce begins, which is Just below the
knee. These t ticks are fine and. are
about an inch apart The flare (It is
not exactly a flounce) is tucked in three
groups of graduated plaits, and these
run horizontally, the widest group be
ing of course at the bottom. The skirt is
buttoned part way down the back with
small blue silk buttons. These also fas
ten the shirt waist in the back, and are
placed extremely close together, making
an effective ornament The front of this
waist Is charming, and after a new
model which originated with one of the
best New York houses, where the gar
ment was made. It shows a very short
yoke, not more than two Inches deep in
front and ending, in this case, in two-inch-wide
plaits. From these length
wise tucks, to match those in the body
of the skirt, run to the belt where the
fulness is confined by a tucked belt
The back, too. Is tucked, and the sleeves
show finer groups running lengthwise
and finishing in a puff and cuff, but
toned on loops, close about the wrist
Miss Hanna has also some pretty white
waists, finished about the front and
shoulders with Persian trimming of silk.
These show larger shoulder tucks.
Combinations of tucks and plaltings
are very popular.
A taffeta costume of black Is worn by
Mrs. Edward Schoen, of Pittsburg, who
has a reputation for exceptional taste in
dress. This also is tucked In the skirt
Only a panel is left in front over which
a curious Persian design is machine
stitched In red and white. The effect
is novel and striking. The bodice, full
in front and drawn down into the belt
In the back, is ornamented by two big
imported braid pieces, with pendants
done In red, white and black, with Just
a thread of gold running throughout A
like ornament appears also on each
sleeve. Just where the puff begins.
Nothing could be newer or more stylish
than this costume.
The same lady has also a pale blue
crepe de chine, with cream lace inser
tion. This lace Is applied in a most ar
tistic manner upon, .both waMt and
sleeves, where It" alternates with various-"
sized plaiting. Upon the skirt it forms
the most novel panels, each one pri
marily of crepe, completely outlined at
sides and. bottom with the laeev. Below -
these is a flounce, fcL
aleeTC-sailcti at the
puffrof the crepe, caught up artistically
'i In front and with free ends at the elbow'
A silver-gray crepe, so light as to ap
pear almost white, has the spaces be
tween the plaltings embroidered in but
terflies of gray silk with darker shaded
antennae. This effect Is carried out
through the entire costume, including
bodice, sleeves and skirt
Mrs. William Carnegie appeared, a few
days ago. In a chic black walking suit
of albatross, a material which lends it
self most gracefully to this style of cos
tume. The short skirt was made with a
seam directly through its front panel,
which gave it an excellent "set" The
fulness about the bottom was supplied
by Inverted wide plaits let in at Inter
vals a little below the knee, where each
group was strapped down with a stitched
strap an inch and a half wide and per
haps three In length. About the extreme
bottom were many rows of white stitch
ing, to a depth of four Inches. The
waist was very full In front and was
finished In the white stitching and plaits.
An ideal design for a waist for a
slender person has two small box plaits
from throat to belt In front and from
shoulder to elbow on the sleeves. The
front fulness on either side of these Is
embroidered in a novel manner. Instead
of using silk to make the print or blos
soms, lace Is let In, while the leaves are
embroidered in silk floss as usual. A
grape design has the clusters cut from
Irish crochet and appllqued on the love
liest shade imaginable of pink armure
silk, while the foliage Is done in white
silk. Roses, with renaissance lace pet
als and embroidered leaves and thorns
are especially pretty.
There are two pretty Redfern gowns
worn by an English actress at the new
Princess Theatre. One is a white cloth
made up with white Cluny. The skirt
has strips of insertion let in oddly and
extending quite to the end of the train.
The sleeves have a puff, half of the lace
falling from slightly below the elbow,
and the bodice is full, beautifully -moulded
to the figure, and elaborately trimmed
with Cluny. The other Is of pink, em
broldered startllngly In black. The de
sign is continuous' from the waist down
to the bottom of the front panel of the
skirt, and shows conventional long slim
leaves and some kind of spiky flowers.
A white silk voile costume, shirred
elaborately, and with which Is worn a
canary-colored velvet hat trimmed with
white lace, attracted many admiring
glances at supper at Sherry's on Tues
day night The hat was the chief object
of interest It was of a charming shade
of yellow, a frill of exquisite lace falling
about its brim. One side was elevated to
show a most marvelous orchid. In which
yellow, white and green were the promi
nent colors. A paradise plume swept
gracefully over its crown.

beaver hat, which completed the cos

wearer. But beaver Is here to stay, at
least for a season. Just as is the Rus

we must have it The Louis XVI
chapeau and the Santos shape are both
very popular. The latter Is admirable
for street wear, as It fits the head per
fectly, and a veil can be adapted to it
easily. Lady Modish, in Town Topics.
