Mrs. Roosevelt's tatement that she can dress wU on $300 a year, although she will now have to spend more than that because of her position as tho wife of tho President, hasjirought forth many con flicting opinions in this city. Theodore Sutro, a prominent law yer, whose wife Is one of New York's most fashionable women, says that Mrs. Roosevelt is sotting a common eenso example which should bo fol lowed. ''The competition In expensive and showy dressing Is the bano of Ameri can womanhood," he Bald. "It seems to me that matters- dicss are about all that interest two-thirds of the wo men of this country when they get together on social ocaslons. "I know young men who are strug gling along on moderate salaries, who arc rising, but have nil they can do to make both ends meet, and whose greatest bill Is for the clothing of their ornamental wives. "Women Who can afford to spend thousands ofy dollars for clothes every year should remember that this Is a country of poor people. The majority are poor. Therefore they should not drubs In public in a manner to tempt other women who have not their wealth to lcop paco with them In mat ters of clothing.

He is getting good pay and realizes that this is tho time for him to lay up for a rainy day, Across the street Is a man who gets live times tho salary the other does. His wife'' dresses expensively. "The wife of tho first man Imme diately determines sho must havo us nlco things as tho woman across tho street, no matter what tho dlfferenco In her husbands condition. This dis courages the young man. It is the cause, in my opinion, of nine-tenths of tho defalcations and bank robber ies. "In Europe It Is different There tho richest women dr'css In tho most mod tst and unassuming style. They real Izo that true qulturo and refinement aro never solf-domonstratlvo.

"I know many women of fashion in this city who dr.ess well on what to some women of more means would seem a pittance "They do it because they have to. If thoy had mora they would spend more.

Roosevelt in her opinion that $300 is enough for "any woman of common sense" to dress on for a year. Uppn one point, however, there Is agreement. That Is, that no standard exists. While nearly all say it depends on the woman, ono society leader avers It depends on her husband. Dressmakers are about as far apart In their views as nro their puU'onu. Estimates ranging from Mrs. Roose velt's figures to $10,000 ana more wero given by women who ought to know. "Mrs. Roosevelt Is quite right In ono particular," said Mrs. Harry G. Scl tridge, who was tho only socloty wo nion who agreed wtlh the President's wife. "If a woman exercises great care In the selection of her costumes she can by utilizing parts of the previous year's dresses, wear clothes good enough to go Into society at an annual outlay of three hundred dollars. Still, I don't think anyone who tukes a prom inent part in social affairs can uo tills. No costumo with any character to It is to bo obtained for as little as $100. "To mo It seems to depend entirely on tho husband, A wife should bo at tired accoidlng to her husband's means.

Chicago, Oct. 20. (Spl.) The Jublla tion following the sweeping corpora tion and franchise and taxing decis ion rendered Thursday by tho Su preme Court has given way in a meas ure to the fear that many corporations will bo driven from Illinois unless spe cial corporate taxing laws are boon en acted. By the decision it is estimated that from $200,000,000 to $330,000,000 will be added to the assessment lists of Cook county. The city, the county, the Drainage Board and the public schools will have their coffers satis factorily supplied with funds should existing laws not buffer alteration. One noteworthy effect will bo a re duction of tho tax rate as a result or the great addition to the assessment llbts, thus lifting a heavy burden off the shoulders of the poor. The decision opens the way so those who have won the flght contend, for legal proceedings to collect back tax es for the last 25 years on corporation stock and franchises but to attempt to collect back taxes for a quarter of a century on the market values of the stock of corporations organized in Il linois. It Is admitted by city officials that this would bankrupt the compan ies. That every corporation In tho state Is Included In tho decision Is set forth plainly. In the hands of Corporation Counsel Walker is now a list of 4,000 corpor ations having n capitalization of more than $1,500,000,000. All these, it Is argued, must come within tho verdict NERO TO BE HIT AGAIN. When suffering from racking cough, take a dose of Foley's Honey and Tar.

Women Who Say They Cannot Dress on $300 a Year. New York, Oct. 2G. Can a woman dress well in society on $300 a year? "Ycb," says Mrs. Theodore Roose velt,, mistress of the White House. "No," say many prominent women of New York society circles. Professional Women's League mem bers are not agreed on this subject, as ls demonstrated by their replies to ft m&r&&2&Ii&&Mtx. They Have Opinions Upon Economy In Dress. queries by reporters. "I would bee Mis. Roosevelt's ?300 aud raUo It ?200," remarked Ml Louisa Shannon with a twinkle In her eye. "That is my answer." "Dress on $300 a year? Oh, my! I want $5,000 u year, exclaimed Mrs. Ernia Pleldn, of the Professional Wo men's League and of "The Helmet of Navarro Company." Perhaps 1 cun manage to get along with $1,000, how ever." Louise Eldridgo agrees with Mrs. Roosevelt. "I think sho ls perfectly right," said she. "I can manege very well to dress on 300 a year. In fact, I know I should have no trouble In keeping Inside of that limit." "I do not seo how a society woman can dress on that amount," said Mrs, G. Uurlbert Chllds. "I know I can't do It. I should like to know how it is done," she concluded. Mrs. P. G. Ross said that "all I can say Is that I wish I had $300 a year to spend for dresses. I would manage to keep withh't that limit and enjoy myself." Some women believe they could man age It If compelled by force of cir cumstances to expend but 300 for dresses yearly, but preferred not to contemplate such a situation. Among these is Mrs. Webb, who bays: "It would bo impossible in my sta tion of life to dress on $300, I cannot, nnd should be very sorry to seo tho tluio come when I should be compelled to do so, I dislike to contemplate it, but if It wero necesstiry 1 might bo able to manage It; not In my present station, however." Mrs. Place disagrees with Mrs. Webb. "I could dress on $300 annually and have no trouble In doing so," said Mrs, Webb. "I am with Mrs. Roosoveit. Dhe Is right In her stntemont Mrs. II.

While Mrs. Roosevelt, the mistress of the White House, maintains that a woman can dress woll in socloty on $300 a year, she admits that it ls piobable a larger outlay will now be required for hen gowns in order to keep up the dignity of White House social Amotions. Hers Is her plan for dressing on $300 annu. ally: Every gown she had was so solecti ed that it would wear with slight re pairing for ihreo seasous. In hur caso evening gowns, always considered the most perishable part of a wo-, man's garb, possessed a 11 v years' lease of life. Thesu gowns are of the richest and heaviest silk, satin or gtonadlno and were simply designed. For three years they were remodeled and adorned with the latest trimmings, or some of the. priceless luce which Mis. Roosevolfi has inherited from her grandmother,' who was an Englishwoman, and a connoisseur of lace. When thoy would no longer permll; of remodeling sho had them made Into waists or uresslng sacquus.

Another feature of Mrs. Roosevelt's wardrobo was that she wore black and white almost exclusively for evening and street wear, aud only in house gowns or deinl-tollets did she select: bright colors. No materials have a longer llfo than black and white. Thoy, clean without fading and, according ta Mrs. Roosevelt, are the most elggauB lu appearance.
