Lace was never more popular. One
sort particularly is in vogue. 1t is the
cafe all lait, or bran-loaf colored lace,
introduced for the trimming of those
tissues in shades which are quite
Asiatic. They are of modern manu-
facture, of course, but are wonderfully
like the antique Persian hues mixed
up in palm patterns on Indian shawls.
If one steps back to consider this col
oring at a distance the eye takes in no
definite reds, puppies, orange or blue
tints, but a combination of all There
is a warmth which relieves and does not
blind, nevertheless the hues are each

"SHINNING" THE TREASURY.
The Republican Plan of Dealing with the
Governments Creditors,


Republican organs have exulted at
the facility with which their secretary
of the treasury has avoided the confess
sion Of Il practically bankrupt strong
box. They call attention to the fact
that the maturing bonds have been met
with little effect on the gold coin held
in the treasury and less on the actual
cash balance, as that fiction is stated
by department that has covered trust
funds into the common account to
make amends for eXtravagant appro-
priations But the organs are careless
ly edited. They publish to the world
a full confederation of the prophecies
made in these columns many months
ago. The Times called attention to the
real meaning of the declarations of Mr..
Foster and his subordinates when they
spoke of 'tiding over a pinch" Then
it was understood that the treasury de-
partment of the nation was TO be man
aged under the policy of shining"
The open advice of the New York
Tribune was that the secretary might
avoid the embarrassment threatened
because OF the billion-dollar congress
by systematic policy of postponing
the payment of claims. The New York
organ advised the secretary as to the
best means for putting off the honest
creditors of the government. The sug-
gestion included delay in auditing
accounts, and further annoyance to
money-seekers by an accumulating
store of unsigned checks.
In the columns of republican organs
may now be found proof that this ad-
vice is being Systematically and con-
scientiously followed. The statement
is unblushingly made that ''to bridge
over the difficulty of a depleted treas
ury Secretary Foster has for few
weeks been refusing tc promptly honor
made 10y the war depart
ment.n The contractors for whom
these demands have been made need
their money. They have fairly earned
it. and yet are told they must await the
pleasure of the secretary of the treas
ury because of the political necessity
of maintaining fair casn balance till
after the fall election shall have been
carried by fraud by the party of moral
ity. The effect has been plainly stat
ed. The contractors, failing to receive
their due, have been forced to with
hold the wages due their workmen, and
thus the injury falls where it can be
most fcebly borne. But there will be

How to Cook String Beans.

A good vegetable which is often
spoiled in cooking-or, perhaps it
should be said in not cooking-is string
beans Many cooks fail in giving them
too little time for boiling, and the
strong green taste does not cook out Of
them. Some varieties require muc h
longer cooking than others. From one
and one-half to three hours is generally
sufficient. They are best when set over
the fire in cold water and allowed to
come shortly to boil. Salt them when
nearly tender. When thoroughly cook
ed drain and add a lump of butter, a
little pepper and a cupful of boiling
cream to each quart of beans. Milk
and more butter may be substituted if
more convenient Do not allow them
to boil after the cream is added lest the
salt curdle it.-Chicago Herald
