Some are of the soft India weaves with a
colored leaf or flower sprinkled over them,

then there are the more wiry taffetas with

are the printed silks, those with big red
roses half covered with moss. pink ones

These silks don't cost such lot either. The

printed ones run from a dollar to two a

fabric. and when you stiffen 1t properly it
will be as rich in effect as those elegant
fabrics that your great grandmother paid
six dollars a yard for. and expected them
to last life time and never be made over.

diminished by the equally evident fact that

Small Outlay.
There is no use denying the fact that
everybody who is anybody has a cape or
two in her wardrobe. One for each out
door gown isn't bad, but if you can't quite
accomplish that, then you r1ust have one
opera cape, and one for common wear. 1t
is safe to guess that capes are not going
to reign much longer, because the manufac-
turers won't stand it. Any woman who
knows a pattern from piece of wrapping
paper can cut and make pretty cape. and
that is an economical fashion that isn't to
be endured. The fabrics most sought for
capes are cloth, either broadcloth of fine
soft texture, Or some of the crepons or
boucle cloths.
The lighter capas are lined with bright
silks and satins. ard are much trimmed
with lace and ribbons and fur. A very

SALISBURY IN THE LORDS.

Thinks He Can Settle the Matter by . Mix.
ture Of Diplomacy and Arbitration.
In the lords Salisbury, replying to
ROsebery, who hoped the Venezuela
question was in fair way of settle
ment, said that Americas mixture
in the dispute had conduced to satisfactory
results more rapidly than If the United
States had not interfered II do not think
that the invoking Of the Monroe doctrine
wac controversially quite unnecessary
for the United States. Consider.
ing the position of Venezuela in
the Caribbean sea it was no more
unnatural that the United States should
take an interest in 1t than that We should
feel an interest in Holland and Belgium;
and from that point Of view, trust the
negotiations will continue.
Il do not like to 60 further into ques.
ton obviously undesirable to state in the
conditions OF negotiations at present, but
l have had an increasing belief during the
past few weeks that We shall, perhaps not
till after l. Ig negotiations. find some sat
isfactory settlement, and all danger of o
rupture of relations between the two na.
tions be entirely removed. lCheers.l AT
the same time do not wish the house to
think that we have arrived Mt any agree
ment. l think We are rightly relying
upon the question Of arbitration.
America attaches more unrestricted
value to that mode Of adjusting contro-
versies than has hitherto been done here;
but l believe that means may be found by a
combination Of negotiations with arbitra-
ton to bring the matters which are not
difficult to a settlement. The great OBJ
stacle has been Venezuela's extravagant
claims, and it was not following the GUS
tomary international policy when Venez.
ueIa broke of diplomatic relations be-
cause they could not obtain the precise
limit Of territory they desired. But for
that action 1 believe the difficulty would
have been settled long ago"

Passing then to the subject Of Armenia,
Baifour said: Lord Salisbury's speech

cations. Short Of bringing upon our.
selves the prospect Of q possible European
cOnflagration, we could have done no more
In the direction Of helping those unhappy
people than We have done. Let the house

rors done in Armenia. Foreign nations
