stiffened around the bottom by means of
crinoline or wigan. Few use the horse
hair, as it is such scratchy stuff. IL
The favo1ite dress material for nice
out of door gowns will doubtless be
broadcloth in the beautiful new shades,
and after that will come the changeable
woods, which are Of remarkable beauty
this fall, and they are of excellent quail
ity. The wooden changeable goods are
durable for the first time, as mohair is
used for the underlying color instead Of
silk. This is quite as lustrous as silk
and gives more body.
Overskirts to wooden and other dresses
are seen quite often, and they are Topped
either at one side or in festoons all
around. I took note Of an imported
walking gown made in this fashion.
The skirt was of gendarme blue cloth
and the overskirt of mode cloth. This
was looped at intervals all around. and
down each seam was very narrow band
of astrakhan. The waist was of tan,
with fanciful overbodice of the blue,
with every seam outlined with the mar
row fur bands. The sleeves were Of
soft puffs with three stiff little caps at
the shoulder, each lined with the mode
color and with the blue outside. The
back of the torsage was pointed as well
as the front There was a short wrap
made of blue cloth faced with the mode,
which could be thrown over the shout
ders if the day was cool.
I saw another odd dress, which goes
to show that fur will be very largely
employed as trimming on the most I'M
promising kinds of material and pattern.
This was plaid cheviot, brown and
mode. The skirt was plain, with all the
plaits set in the back. There was a
vest of cream colored surah with belt
of sealskin. The Elton jacket had wide
revers also Of sealskin, and there was a
band all around the skirt of the same
fur scalloped out and bound on the
edges with very neat and narrow
cream colored velvet binding. The plaid
was cut on the straight. sleeves and all.
Only the practiced eye would pick this
dress out of hundred as the costliest
dress of all. Tt was lined with silk and
finished in the most perfect manner.
There are many novelties in furs for
demisaison, among them a fichu cape Of
black astrakhan. This crosses over the
bust, and the tabs reach the back and
fall below the waist. The collars are
not as high or faring as they were, but
then the storm collars are not often seen
on early capes. The capes of marten
and other furs stand out all around in
the same style as the cloth capes, and
they naturally cost more than the little
close ones used to. The tiny English fur
collar made Of small "beastie" is quite
popular with young folks, and the feath-
er bows will be very generally worn for
early fall, and in fact, think, all the
all the season, as they are too becoming
to be thrown aside, and they can be worn
with coats.
The new cloth dresses are so very re-
fined that cannot refrain from telling
The Portland daily press., 1893-09-23

understood among the immigrants and
their friends, and as a consequence men
go to the bureau every day claiming to be
the husbands of newly arrived women
who do not in fact sustain that relation
toward them.
The board of contract labor inspectors,
Mr.. John J. Quinlan chief, has to do
with quite another sort of detention.
The work of this department of the bu-
reau is important, and underNall the Cir
cumstances very effective, a little less
than per cent of the total number Of
alien immigrants being detained and
sent back by this board at present. This
is much in excess of the number former
ly sent back. From July, 1899, to July,
1898, only 458 all told were sent back
under the contract labor law. During
July of this year $40 went back, and
during August 1926. Most contract la
borers come very well posted as to what
they shall answer when questioned by
the inspectors, and when block of, say,
10 or 10 men all answer the contract Ia
Dor inspectors in practically the same
words the whole block is reinspected.
But it is not claimed that very large
percentage of those who are really here
under contract are detected.
Those Immigrants who are fortunate
enough to be passed without any deten-
ton at all are without unnecessary delay
put aboard the bureaus ferryboat and
sent to New York, or turned over to
the railroad pool for transportation to
such interior places as they are bound
for. Those whom it is finally decided
must be returned to Europe are marched
to the return pen. They are most de-
jected, woebegone lot, and their looks
and bearing are in strong contrast to the
bright faces and buoysnt mein of the
others. To these it seems no doubt that
they have now reached the land Of milk
and honey, happy country where
plenty and comfort will surely follow
honest exertion. Most of them have yet
to learn that in America, as in the rest
of the world, Dame Fortune distributes
her rewards with partial hand, and
that to many life in America is life of
privation, and to all who would win one
of constant struggle and toll.

The Portland daily press., 1893-09-23

The inspectors are patient, 1ntelIi-
oent. courteous Lat of man. From la1ar
experience they can tell at a glance the
nationality of the immigrant, and SO do
not need to wait for spoken words to
know in what language to make the in
quiry. Sometimes, of course, an inspect
or will be at fault, but one syllable
from the questioned individual will set
the official mind right, and then the
questioning proceeds rapidly, but skill
fully, until it has been determined how
the immigrant shall be disposed of.
One of the most important questions
relates to the amount Of money in pos
session of the individual, but contrary to
an impression which seems general it is
not required that an immigrant shall be
possessed of any specified sum. Ii the
doctors pass favorably as to the health
of the person examined and he or she
have enough money or ticket for trans
portation to the ultimate DESTINATION,
release comes at once, providing the I'M
migrants answers agree with the partlc-
ulars set down in the ships manifest.
This is the general rule. The exceptions
I have before alluded to. A woman with
children, unaccompanied by husband
or other male relative, a minor without
money or a person who is suspected OF
being a contract laborer is at once sent
to the detention pen, as the officials
speak of the large cage in which those
whom it is thought desirable to further
examine are placed.
The detention pen is rarely empty, al
though once or twice shipload of imml-
grants has been received among whom
there was not one candidate for this
cage. Almost all women accompanied
only by their children pass some time in
this compartment, for it rarely happens
that the woman's husband is at hand to
receive her at the moment Of her arrival
at Ellis island, and the authorities will
not allow her to land unless her husband
comes for her. This ruling may at first
thought appear to be unnecessarily Sc
we're, and it certainly does SO appear to
most of the detained wives, but as ex-
planned to me by the authorities it seems
very necessary regulation.
The great aim of inspection and exam
nation is to prevent the landing of in
dividuals likely sooner or later to be-
come charge upon the charitable socie-
ties or the state authorities. A woman
with family of small children, without
a husband to provide for her support, if
without money will probably need aid
very soon after arriving here, and the
experience of the. authorities has been
such to render it necessary in their eyes
that the existence of the husband shall
be proved by his personal appearance to
receive his family.
Oftentirnes wives come to America
bringing their children with them in
search of husbands who have been
guilty of desertion, and such families
are almost certain to be incapable Of
self support. Sometimes widows come
with the expectation of living with rela-
tives. In such instances if the relatives
can show beyond reasonable shadow of
doubt that they will be able to support
the detained immigrants the latter are
allowed to land.
The ideas of the immigration bureau
regarding the landing Of families not
met by the husband and father are well
