Monterey on January II. IT Is simply
step from the Chicago of one country to
the Chicago of the other. Monterey is
the capital of the state Nuevo Leon,
and is to a great extent typical city
of the Mexico of the near future. Mon
terey's great advancement is due to
keen Mexican craftsmanship, combined
with shrewd American business tact.
In ten years time this quaint and serene
old city has been completely trans
formed, with streets spreading out in
all directions. street railways, hand
some parks, electric lights and large
warehouses, and, what is very notice
able by travellers, the best hotel accom-
modations in Mexico. 1t is a great
smelling center, and one Of large manu-
featuring interests.
San Luis Potosi, the next point of in
terest visited. is city of some so, 600 in
habitants. 1000 of whom are Americans
1t is in the center Of rich agricultural
and mining district, and the volume Of
trade carried ON there will compare
very favorably with cities of similar
size in the United States It's plazzas
and streets, lined with attractive stores,
serve very well to illustrate the progress
sive spirit of its merchants. AS an ex-
ponent of the social condition and re-
fnement of San Luis Potosi, it can be
stated that its new opera house is one of
the handsomest structures of its kind,
being but seldom surpassed even in tho
United States. On January "a the ex-
cursion viii arrive at the City of Mex
leo, tho capital of the republic, having
a population of nearly half million.
Here arrangements have been perfected
to have the excursionists entertained at
q banquet by the prominent merchants
and citizens Of the city, in which the
government Of Mexico, through Presi-
dent Diaz, will take no small part.
Pueblo is next visited 1t is city Of
10o, 900 inhabitants, and is the second
most important point in Mexico. The
wealth of its mercantile houses is well
known to the Germans, who control the
bulk of tho trade

way homo, stopping one day at the cap
ital of Yucatan. the great hemp produc-
ing country Of Mexico. Another day
will be spent in Havana. The party
will arrive at New York on or about tho
18th Of February.
One of tho great advantages Of this
trip will be to bring the manufacturer
directly in contact with the buyer,
whereby he can learn Of his credit and
standing in commercial circles, and the
manufacturer can also visit the buyers
store or warehouse and see the extent
of the trade he is carrying on. The
class of goods that the merchant han
dies from France, Germany and Eng
land will then be seen and the manu-
facturer placed In . position to profit
ably compete with the same. 1t is q
common thing for manufacturers at
present in this country to receive orders
from Mexican merchants, and TO file
them away until they can learn moro
definitely as 10 tho credit and standing
Of those ordering the goods.
The great trouble with Americans In
trying to establish trade relations with
the people of Mexico has been their in
sistence upon changing the Mexican
market to suit United States ideas, in
place OF adapting their wares and their
customs TO the purchasers The Eng
lish, French and Germans have taken
exactly the other tack, and though as
whole unwilling to yield their habits to
other people, have proved that in the
matter Of trade they are willing to &C
commodate themselves to its require
ments.
The business men Of Mexico are very
good pay, keeping good balances with
their commission people, the proceeds
of the coffee, tobacco, gold, silver and
other commodities, which have been
sent for sale. If instead Of shipping his

Another dress which danced before

because there ara, a good many of them

easiest matter in the world 10 go on
talking indefinitely and never get out
of checked and striped discussions
have, however, seen this week travel
ing dress of more than common impress
siyeness, which holds ont promise Of
variety. 1t was designed for q rich
bride, that is, for a young woman who
can buy great many clothes out of her
own income and a great many more out
of her husbands.
One of the fruits of this comfortable
state of affairs is the aforementioned
frock of silvery green cloth, cut as q
cloak dress with loose back laid in a
deep Vatican: the frc1ds hang straight
from the shoulders and are edged with
black velvet, the lighter cloth lying in
scallOps over this sable background.
Between the loose, widely separated
fronts is seen the short aisted bodice
of green silk, shirred across just under
the arms and falling to the floor. The
costume has velvet edge at the bottom

the fit of the simple princess frock
barred in great checks of darkest blue
and crimson, with hair lines of green
and brown and black superimposing
themselves almost, apparently, at their
own discretion.
Mrs Cleveland is no dress reformer,
for her skirts will lie several inches on
the ground, fraying their hens out and
gathering dust like the draperies Of the
rest of foolish humanity. About the
bottom of the costume runs deep band
of blue velvet, and worn about the
princess is dark blue cloth overdress,
cut round at the neck to show the plaid
as yoke and gathered away from tho
waist under blue velvet strap on elth-
er side, letting the skirts fall apart in
front more or less after the fashion Of
the old time polonaise. The overdress
is edged about completely with blue
velvet, and the frock has huge puffs of
cloth sleeves, with long plaid cuffs or
gauntlets to the elbows. 1t has high
standing COLLAR, and there is ordered to
wear with it a small, dark blue velvet
hat with standing bows and bunch Of
crimson velvet chrvsanthemums.
Dark crimson gloves stitched with
blue are another accessory. Do You
like the picture? The gown itself,
can assure you, is thoroughly successful.
To be entirely impartial, even on the
eve of election, have taken some pains
to hunt up Mrs. Wnitelaw Reds dress
maker. A walking dress after direc-
toire model has rewarded my exertions,

Mrs. Reid's frocls is creamy brown
and black striped camel's hair, the long
redingote, of bias cut, turning back in

huge black velvet buttons. These re-
vers run mp into the very full and far
ing shoulder rufles which lie like wings
on either side of the big black velvet
yoke and the high black velvet collar
