Coiffures are worn higher than ever,
all the hair being piled up in coils on
the top of the head and leaving the
nape of the neck nearly bare-too
much so, indeed, for fashionable Golf
fures have lately dccreed that few
long curls should be left to fall over
the neck at the back for dressy Golf
fures.
A great many jackets will be worn
this spring of cloth or fancy wooden
material. Some are trimmed with
braid and some with velvet. Wooden
lace is the favorite trimming, both in
black and white. Pinked-out bands of
colored cloth superposed are also
much used for trimming both jackets
and costumes.
The cravat is attempting to make its
appearance again and shows itself in
the shape of a long scarf of light
surah or brocaded gauze. 1t is tied in
full bow, with one short end, and
fastened at the neck, the second end
being long enough to be fastened upon
the left hip, where it is loosely knotted
and falls over the skirt Cravats OF
this style need not be matched to the
costume and may be worn with any
dress. They can be made Of white
thin muslin to wear with light-colored
toilettes.
Sateens will be deliberately made up
this season. One rather pretty design
has fan pleating of the plain material
down the center of the skirt, forming
a plastron. On either side of this are
panels of figured sateen, pale blue, with
small flowers scattered it. Rever:
of velvet, of the same shade of blue,
are placed on either side of the plastroI
front. There are collar and cuffs of the
velvet upon the pointed basque

The Caroline Isla mes.

The Caroline Islands are a remarka-
bic group of coral formations in the
northern Pacific. They perhaps are ofno
great strategic importance, since they
lie on the road to nowhere ia particular;
but from the point of view of the arch
aeoiogist they are interesting in the ex-
creme Ger,uin Dutch navigators.- who
visited them nearly generation ago,
returned to Europe with wonderful
stories concerning the ruins that had
been discovered on some Of the smaller
lslets at the eastern end of the archipe
lagO; but it was not until 1888 that any-
thing approaching to systematic sur
vey Of the group was undertaken. In
that year her majesty's ship Esyiegle
touched at many of the islands, aud
those officers who went ashore found
that the magnifcence of the remains had
not been exaggerated The most impos-
ing ruins are at Metalanim Harbor, in
Ponape, and at Chabrol Harbor, in
Kuslle; and an idea of their grandeur
may be formed from the fact that some
eff the stones Of the buildings measure
as much as 80 feet long by 20 feet
broad and Is feet thick. They are or
namented with rude sculptures, which
bear a family resemblance to the well
known sculptures of Easter Island, in
the Southern Pacific, yet Easter Island
and the Caroliles are fully 5000 miles
apart, and, so far as is dlscoverable,
there has never been any communication
between them. The object and origin
of the monuments are alike unknown. -
The Caroline group, which was discov-
cred by Spain in 1926, has hitherto,
even by German geograpbers, been re-
garded as Spanish possession, although
for years there have been no Spanish
residents on any of the islands. The
extent of the land surface of the group
is rather more than 800 square miles;
and the estimated population is about
% 900 souls, all of whom are of the
Malay race,
