FRIllS OF FASHION.
Notes on the Latest in Dress for the


Neckties of tulle, chiffon and cream
" hite net are a very fashionable addi-
ton TO both dressy and plain cloth
gowns. They are cut wide and long
enough TO pass twice around the neck
and tie in bow, with ends TO the
waist, and are trimmed with frill Of
i1ce, insertions and tucks between. f.
is a very becoming fashion, too, except
for women With short necls.
Other things in neckwear are the
little odd collars and friIls of linen
lawn and dainty lace made especially
for wear with tailor gowns These are
cut in odd squares and points and mar
row double bands edged with narrow
lace. which turn down over the edges
OF the dress collar and are sewn on a
straight band of lawn, which is basted
inside.
Collar bands are still very distinc
tive point in the costume, and many
very somber gowns have a dash Of
bright color at the neck which adds
wonderfully TO the effect. Folds OF
white satin with three folds of blue OF
red satin at the upper edge make an eff
ftctive collar, as do folds Of white satin
with gold braid between. Little shaped
pieces stand mp at the side of the back
with a frill of lace or chiffon. Bows at
the back of the neck are not in evidence
ON any of the new gowns.
Roman sash ribbons are employed
very prettily for vests, and also for
sashes on tea gowns.
The latest coats in el4th or fur are
supplied with very moderate-szed
sleeves, quite close TO the arm, except
at the top.
We are warned TO beware Of the
checked silks so literally displayed in
the shops. as they are quite out OF date,
I The fashionable substitute for these
is anything with Bayadere stripe.
The new goods are in wavy lines, with
irregular cross lines at intervals, Of iu
plain stripes; but some sort of cross
line is the proper thing.
Velvet ribbon, with silk fringe less
than an inch wide falling below each
row. forms one of the many modes OF
dress trimming.
The problem of how to be comfort
able in corscts seems to be solved in
The new model, which is straie ut IN
front, short on the hips, more flexible,
and shaped to fit the figure without re-
modelling it in another form.
The new fashionable dress materials
are called peau de gazelle and pluie de
sole. One is a fine cloth, very light IN
weight and almost as glossy rs silk,
( and the other is plain wool fabric
/ with tiny silk loops all over it.
! Narrow ruches of lace are suppressed
ing the black chiffon frills used to edge
collars, epaulettes and reyers.
Aluminium gray red plum and alb
bess violet, which is a mixture OF blue
and violet. are the fashionable colors.
/ One of the novelties in theater wraps
/ IS a cape made Of fur on one side and
/ handsome brocadcd velvet on the other
so that it is reversible. The fur is worn
in the daytime and the velvet with the
/ fur collar for evening.

South American republics are the great
undevelopcd and unoccupied markets
of the world 10 which Americans must
send their products if this country is
to progress and prosper. Nearly all of
this commerce must cross the Pacific.
What has all this to do with la
waiian annexation? 1t has just this
TO do with IL: From the Hong Kong to
the Jsthmus OF Darien il is $500 miles;
as far as from san Francisco across
the continent. the Atlantic, the Medit-
orannean and Turkey, to the boundary
Of Persia From the Aleutian islands
on the north, to the renCh colony of
Tahiti. 900 miles south of the equator,
the distance is 4,5O0 miles, as far as
from Greenland to 500 miles south OF
the Amazon river. In all this vast
area there is but one spot where food.
iucl and water can be obtained, aud
that is Hawaii.
1T has his to do with it, that the
Pacific is so wide that no nation aas
a naval station near enough to the
Pacific coast to be available as a naval
base of operations against il or its
commerce. 1t means that no battle
ships now bailt or building in either the
American or japanese navy can cross
the Pacific between Yokohama and san
Francisco without recoaliuc, because
they cannot carry coal enough to get
across.
at means that with Hawaii in pos
session Of any hostile power there
would be established a naval base of
supply and repair within five days
s;eaming distance Of the Pacific coast.
Il means that, with other nations shut
out OF Hawaii, they are pushed back the
entire length OF the Pacific, distance
so great as 10 be productive OF hostile
naval operations, and thereby secur
ing immunity 10 the Pacific coast and
its commerce.

The expansion of the market for
goods of American production and
mauufaet ure is considered by the is
landers one of the natural sequences
OF the annexation of the Hawaiian is
lands. This was set before the Manu-
facturers' club of St. Louis by Lorrin
\. Thurston, ex-minister from Hawaii,
in The following language:
Il submit 10 you that no one IN this
country has more direct interest in an
neNation than the manufacturers Up
to five years ago the United States de-
Sclopcd and progressed while paying
very little attention 10 its foreign re-
latious and its foreign commerce. II

Europe2 Perhaps, 10 limited extent;
but they produce the same manufac-
lures that you do. They are your nat
u:al competitors, not your natural Gus
tcmers The one great undeveloped
natural market of the world for the
products of the United States is the
islands in and the countries bordering
upon the Pacific ocean.
Nearly 50 years ago William IL.
Seward said. on the floor Of the United
States senate, that the Pacific ocean,
its islands, its shores aud the vast re-
gions beyond will be he chief thoater
vi events in the worlds great hereafter,
This prophecy is being rapidly fulfilled;
but ten years ago the Pacific coast Of
Siberia was an ice-bound wilderness,
and Nladivostock an unknown village.
To-day Nladiyostock is city Of 10000
people, with wharves, dry docks and
warehouses, and with Notifications
equal to any port in the world. The Pa
