REVIVE THE OLD FASHIONS

Designers Ge Back to Medieval Times for Ideas that Give an Individual Note. **. . - Long clinging robeß of velvet, cut on straight lines, which were fashionable .in earlier centuries, are to be seen again in dresses for the daytime as well as evening. Dresses of this type, with entire absence of waistline, appeal strongly to women who like the individual note in dress. Some of the straight dresses recall modes which were fashionable in France in the fourteenth century. The yokes, cut out in something like a V In front and on the Bhoulders, are made of bands covered with embroidery, and the dresses moulded to the figure in severe style from neck to hem have sleeves to the elbows, repeating the, embroidered bands at the neck. ■ Such a gown was seen In a fashionable New York show room last week. Made of clear yellow velvet, the dress was hemmed with skunk and (embroidered in deep tones of gold with a dash of turquoise blue lntrqduced In the worsted girdle of deep gold, which gave a distinctive note to the dress. In the same show room there was a similar gown in Jacobean tapestry which had a tablier veiling of clear terra-cotta ninon down the front and back. One of the latest gowns from Paris was suggestive of ah old fashion re> vived, and was carried out in a lovely shade of hyacinth blue satin completely veiled with ninon of the same color; This overdress was tucked and puffed in the quaintest way, and each ruching was edged with brilliants. Above the knees from a puffing of ninon there fell an edging of pearl. ,

WEST STRONG FOR WOODROW WILSON

Rank and File of the Party In That Great Section Recognize His Worth. HAS REDEEMED HIS PLEDGES Hi* Actions as Chief Executive of the Btate of New Jersey Show His Political Ability and In* tegrity—Loyal to People.BY CHARLEB G. HEIFNER, Chairman of Democratic State mlttee of Washington. I know pretty accurately the sentiment of the rank and file of the democrats of the West They are strongly In favor of Woodrow Wilson for our Presidential nominee next year. I feel sure that this statement will hold good In every state west of the Mississippi River. I recently spent some time In the east on business that brought me in touch with a number of influential business men. Incidentally I have had occasion to diecuss political conditions with these men and I am glad to say that, regardless of past party affiliations, I find them strongly in favor of Governor Wilson, it Is not difficult to ascertain the cause of this faith and trust and confidence on the part of farmerg, wage workers and bußlnesß men In the political ability and Integrity of Woodrow Wilson. He kept the faith. A year ago while a candidate for Governor of New Jersey he made certain pledges and promises to the people of that trust ridden state. The people took him at his word and elected him, the first democrat to be elected Governor In that state In sixteen years, and to the gratifying amazement of all honest men and to the utter consternation of the political tricksters he and his loyal, supporters in the legislature proceeded to enact laws and carry out plans- in exact conformity with his pledged word to the people. Among the plain people everywhere ho has come to be regarded as a man whose performances square with his promises. Just Buch a man is imperatively needed* as the chief executive of the United States. Having demonstrated his practical capacity to accomplish things in his own state, though one branch of the legislature was of opposite political faith. It is not Burprising that there is such au overwhelming demand for his elevation to the White House. All Favor Wilson. I believe the State of Washington will send a delegation to the next Democratic National Convention far vorable to Governor Wilson for our presidential candidate, and I might say further that I believe he Is thn only democrat who can get the eleotoral vote of that state, and other Western States. We democrats out there are not unmindful of the merited consideration which other great democrats are receiving at the hands of their fellow citizens throughout the country, but we believe Governor Wilson, more nearly than any other avowed candidate, typifies In his reoord and his personality, those qualities and characteristics which the average American is proud to see exemplified In the President of* him country. Hence, his popularity In the East, the West, the North and the South. His record as a scholar, am educator, an historian and as student and writer oil social and economic subjects all combine to equip him to be Just what he is today—a finished orator, a great statesman and our logical leader in solving the great Industrial , and financial questiona which now disturb the business world, and which the republican party has proved itself Incapable either to understand or to solve. Governor Wileon is progressive in that he is not wedded to the mildewed past or to precedent to such an extent as to make him timid and afraid to meet tho„ demands of the present hour. I am for him because he stands for genuine representative government—the actual rule of the people after careful consideration of all governmental matters coming before them. He would free trade and commerce of the Imposts and handicaps with which they are now burdened. He would place on the statute books a law regulating inter-state commerce so clear, so concise, so Just and so definite that all men and cty corporations would not be left in doubt as to whether they were complying with or violating the law. He would thus place our industrial affairs upon a solid and legitimate foundation, freed from uncertainty and distrust. • In his record as Governor of New Jersey he hath literally lived up to and exemplified in his every act the time honored tenet of democracy: “Equal rights for all, special privileges to none.” >». He will bring to the discharge of his duties as chief magistrate of the nation, the right scholarship of a Bancroft, a Lowell and a Hawthorne, all of whom held political office; he will have had the experience that comes from practical administration and executive responsibilities and in every respect he will worthily rank with those qther great - leaders of, democracy whose achievements make brighter -and more glorious the pages of American history. These are some of the reasons why I am for him and ’ why the American people are for him.
