The phut contemplates the acquiring by the State Of four square blocks of ground lying directly south of the State House, to be held for sites of ad- ditional state buildings as required, and the landscaping of the entire Straight hanging gowns with long slashes and funny flares seemed to be about to take the world by storm. Bat, lo! Dame Fashion treacherously showed the long Dutch tonic, a ruffled skirt of the Crinoline days, and then, with an impish grin, the basque and polonaise. The Direetoire period has clung to tailored suits, leaving its Im- print upon them, tossed as a few bales of striped materials and departed, as the Westerner said of the horse-thief, "for parts unknown." Broad stripes, narrow stripes, straight and crooked stripes im- mediately were used not only for the Dlrectolre tailored salt, bat for all sorts of dresses whose style was indigenous of the period of 1914. As stripes are rather trying to the slender woman, who predominates, the stripes are combined with plain colors, producing wonderfully attrac- tive gowns. Thus we sometimes see the tonics of striped and sometimes the underskirt, sometimes the under- waist and sometimes the overwaist. it is the clever ash of these stripes which suggested my Illustrations for When You Find Anything You Miast Return lit Says the Law Fact this letter.

In the front of the lower skirt is an inverted pleat which adds width and comfort in walking. My second illustration shows a girl's basque dress made in black satin and striped taffeta. The black satin fronts of the waist extend into a band which finishes as a sash in the back. The tunic 'of the striped, taffeta is edged with a band of satin, while the lower skirt 's of black satin.

Only a few houses now stand on the proposed site and It is estimated that a tremendous saving to the State can be made by securing the land at once Instead of waiting until it is actu- ally needed, when It might be neces- sary to condemn and pay for many costly buildings. Members of the Art Commission, who have given the matter thorough consideration ana are unanimous in their recommendations to Governor Dunne on the subject, are: Martin Roche and John Devereaux York of 'Chicago, architects; Lorado Tart and Leonard Crunelle of Chicago, sculptors; Ralph Clarkson and Fred- eric C. Bartlett of Chicago, painters. Senator Hugh S. Magill, Jr., of Spring- field and J. C.

"First: Regarding the proposed plan to build a wing or annex to the 'Cnpttol on the Capitol grounds, it in the opinion of the Commission that tl is would not be advisable. Such a plan would mar the architectural symmetry of, the Capitol and further encumber grounds that are hardly sufficiently spacious for the Capitol as It now is. It would reduce the amount of light and air in the rooms on that side of the Capitol, and would not be a satisfactory solution or the problem when there Is taken into con- sideration the amount of additional space that will soon be needed to meet the rapidly Increasing demands Of the State.

The platform adopted by the con- vention and mass meeting held at the Cort theater, Chicago, and the can- didates for country towns are as fol- lows: Text of Platform. "We believe that the lesson of 1912 teaches us that the Republican Party cannot endure unless it is thoroughly responsible to the wishes of the indi- vidual members of the party, i "We believe that a ticket proposed by a small faction of theparty-and only having thereon the names of such men who are known to be friendly to that particular faction, irrespective of other qualifications, does not give a proper expression to the wishes of the great mass of Republican voters and will not be supported by them. "The distribution of patronage in a manner satisfactory to politicians should not be the principal requisite of fitness for public office.

"We believe that something more than fault-finding is necessary to raise the standara or public service: Chicago Telephone Company jtcs, District Manager Telephone 9903 TSflF cient public servants and a progres- sive, constructive program of legisla- tion are essential to correct such evils. We believe these principles *to be in- dispensable in order to secure and maintain good government. I "We believe taat every one who ac- cepts public office shall discharge the duties of that office for the regular compensation provided therefor,-and we particularly believe that the treas- urer of Cook Coun ty shall pay in to tho treasury all interest raealvad fry the county treasurer, and to establish' the results of such audit in one or more daily papers of general circula- tion in Conk county, and the candl- ~dateB recommended to ihhi.\conven- tion are pledged to these principles. New Laws Proposed. "The DIRECT PRIMARY law was passed as a protest against the politi- eliminating him from tha control of the party. The operation of that law demonstrates the necessity of several changes, and we believe that it should be Immediately amended so as to sim- plify primary elections and enable voters to give expression to their preferences without being compelled to disclose their political affiliations, and that where there Is more than one candidate for any office the names of such candidates shall rotate uni- formly upon the ballot. i "The multiplicity of candidates for elective offices is confusing and makes it difficult for the voter to make an intelligent selection. We, there- fore, earnestly recommend legislation which will shorten the ballot and ma- terially reduce the number of elective officers. "The present revenue laws of Illi- nois are Inequitable, unscientific and impossible of literal fulfillment. "Their operation has become largely a matter ' of official interpretation, neither satisfactory to the State nor to the taxpayer. "We recommend a scientific and comprehensive revision Of the rev- enue laws. "The public funds provided for the relief of needy dependents should be wisely and intelligently administered, and such safeguards should be placed over them so that the county agent's office and the Cjjunty hospital cannot be used as political commissaries. Urge Woman's Suffrage. "The decision of the Supreme Court of Illinois confirming the Women's Suffrage Act renders their limited vot- ing privilege indefensible from either the standpoint of economy or natural right We urge the granting of com- plete and unrestricted Buff rage to women, --.....- ..... ^/-? ■" "We deplore the unseemly and ob- structive tactics of the majority of the county board, and we heartily com- mend such efforts as have been made to carry out a program of construc- tive government and to take the char- ities out of politics, and place the affairs of Cook County upon a sound ■ -"•'■: ■.:' % him upon the public funds.
