OMITTED ESTIMATES.
No Provision for the Bureau Of Ameri-
can Republics or Experiment stations

can Republics OF Experiment stations
Two omissions regarded as significant
have been noticed by the treasury officials
in the estimates submitted to the Secretary
by the heads of the various departments
and by him transmitted to Congress. Sec
retary Gresham failed to include in the
State Department estimates $4,000 for the
bureau of American republics. An esti-
mate of this amount was Incorporated in
the State Department estimates for the
current year. and its absence now is looked
upon Indicative of the purpose of the
Secretary TO disintegrate or abolish the
bureau, at least so far as the United States
is interested in Its maintenance.
Secretary Morton, in accordance with the
suggestion contained in his annual report,
failed to incorporate in the Agricultural
Department estimates the sum of $7200O0
for forty-eight agricultural experiment
stations, one for each state and territory.
Ever since 1SSS, ii is stated an item for this
service has been found in the Agricultural
Department estimates.

MURMURS ON MODES.

Half-low bodices, rounded in the
neck, with empire sashes, are worn by
very young ladies', and Louis TrieZe
coat bodces, with broad lace collars
and balloon sleeves, by those who are
more mature. These coat bOdlceS are
cut to give the effect of short waist
and are SiaShed below and edged with
beaded gimp. The patterned lace
collar nearly covers the shoulders and is
opened in Il V-shape below the throat.
Deep lace cuffs often finish the lace
sleeves, although the flowing lace ruf1le
is lust as fashionable and more becOn-
ing.
The fondness for Persian coloring
finds expression in the useful and eff
fective silk and satin ribbons as we'll as
in hand wrought and woven bands.
These ribbons are Oriental in design. as
we'll as in c0lOrlng, and on dreSSy toilets
are disposed on skirt and bodice III
spreading bows and ends instead OF
loops.
Those who do not find the hair rolled
off the face becoming are having their
bangs cut in short fluffy fringe that,
while it softenS the face, does not give
the vulgar look of the deep, full bang,
which completely hides the forehead.
Corded silk is replacing satin for
bridal gowns. and cotfee-tinted lace is
preferred to others. At weddings brides
maids appear oftener in bright colorS
than in white or cream.
Skirt trimmings, in order to add to
the new very tlaring effects, are carried
up half the length of the skirt OH both
elaborate evening toilets and GresSy day
gowns.
The house gown continues to be after
the style OF the Empire, with a very
high belt arranged either in ribbon
fashion or with huge rosette conceal
ing its fastening. The neck is cut out
SO that the throat shows, but the sleeves
are Invariably long; these, of course,
may be as fanciful as possible, but l do
not advise very full sleeve if ones
shoulders are decidedly broad.
RuffleS and big sleeves seem 10 be the
distinctive features of this seasons COS
tune. a velvet capelet finished with a
deep rutfle, with sleeves TO match, is a
fashionable and becoming style.

In February Music w. S. 3. Mathews
tells of the wonderful preparation being
made for the musical display mex! sum-
mer. He says: IF the plans of the

like the present prospect of complete
ness, the musical activities of the pres
ent exposition will far surpaSs those OF
any former intern tonal eXhibition;'
and our musicians, those from
this state who are fortunate
enough TO pass the examination
ordeal of the early spring and be
admitted to take part in the summers
display will be such artists as any state
ought to be proud of. And, of course,
Minnesota will be proud of these
daughters of music" that have grown
up and been trained within her borders.
She will recall their names with pride
as she tells of the success Of her part of
the great fair. She knows that the
names Of her musicians will be heard
far from home and that the honor they
earn will be reflected upon herself, and
she will enjoy it, too. But does any one
know how she intends to manifest her
pride in these successful ones? s.
far not one word have we heard
Of any tangible Acknowledgement
on her part of these candidates for I'M
mortality. 1t looks to an unbiased Oh
server as if this big rich state should be
expressing herself in this matter. Other
states are Offering different induce
ments to the musicians among their
citizens to enter into this contest ana
win honors for them. Louisiana offers
prize, South Dakota offers medal to
each successful applicant from that
state, and medal of Black Hills gold
will be presented to each person or
musical organization from the hills in
yited to appear at Chicago. Cannot
Minnesota do as much? The woman's
auxiliary has no power to give these, 50
far as we can learn, but the whole big
state might, and thus show outsiders
that we are proud of our own musicians,
as WellaS encourage native talent in the
most substantial way possible, by
showing that we appreciate their laborS
and successes.

One Rose OnIv.

For really effective decoration with
flowers look to quality, not quantity.
Once upon a time woman with a fine
feeling for blossoms gave very mod
est luncheon. 1t was in the depth of
winter, when flowers were worth much
more than their weight in silver. She
had Just 81 TO spend for them, and gave
it without hesitation for huge, sweet,
blushing rose upon yard-long stem.
This rose she took home rejoicing. cut
the stem i'll three, filled a longish dark
green platter with Jumps OF ice as big
as your fist, not piled pyramid-wlse, but
laid irregularly over it. Then she laid
the lengths of rose stalk so that the
sprays Of leaves would trail partly over
one edge, and then she set her one bios
som, so as to show its leaves and stem,
across the middle.
The result was a center piece that
five women united in saying made the
entertainment really, truly rose lun-
cheon." w, G.. NJ.

H er Husbands Confdant.

She is happy woman who occupies
this position, but not every one is wise
enough to attain it. The tactful wife
wins her husbands confidence, but she
never attempts to force ii. She shows
to him that the truth, even if it is mn
pleasant, will be received with better
grace than any attempt at smooth pres
entatiOn. TO maintain happiness and
a perfect relation the business and So
cial eXactions Of each should be known
by the other, and the first plank in the
barrier of deceit torn down by full
and honest acknowledgment. White
lies should be abhorred, and the life of
each made an open book for the other
to read. When this basis is established
things may be trusted to run smoothly.
Mutual confidence disarms suspicion
and destroys jealousy, which are the
two gravest enemies of LIES most ST.
riOus and beautiful partnership.
