Around the foot Of the skirt there was
a deep embroidery in colored silks. every
shade of which would wash. This laun-
dering quality is observable upon most
Of the dresses Of children. and the small
girl need not worry about spotting her
dress at play.
From the arm-hoes OF this cream
cashmere there extended a small vest Of
deep green cashmere. which hooked over
the front under a silk rOsettc. The same
finish was upon the elbow sleeves. To
give shape TO the dress at the waist line
there were straps OF metallic betting eo-
Ing six times around the waist AN en-
broidered yoke and collar completed the
details of this very wcll-adapted little
gown.
METALLIC RIBBONS.
Metallic ribbon is used much upon
children's dresses. II has several great
advantages. II is cheap. it wears well.

ribbon can be purchased for "a few cents

Gold ribbon can bc used in the same
way.

HANDY SEAMSTRESSES.
Growing girls in Paris are fortunate.
They have modes made for them and
they are catered TO by couturieres who
do nothing else. These couturieres are
very high-priced. so that not all Partisan
mothers can go 10 them, but Paris is full
OF handy little seamstresses who copy
the work of the high-priced couturieres
so faithfully that 1t passes for the orig
inal
American mothers are very eXtrava-
CANT with their children's clothes. They
buy new goods and pay fancy prices for
them. while a French mother will give
her seamstress two old gowns and tell
her TO do her best with the material before
her.
All gowns for French children and all
children's dresses bearing the Paris
stamp are. consequently. made OF two
fabrics. They are the result of econ

MONEY ORDER SYSTEM.

Further Extension in the Near Future
Probable-Business of the Country De-
mands It-It Is Comparatively COstlesi
Adjunct to the Ordinary Post Once. and
Brings the Department. q Snug Revenue
WASHINGTON, Oct. 9.-The post office
department has adopted policy Of
general extension of the money-ordeH
system. First Assistant Postmaster
General Heath believes that any post
office wanting money order facilities
should be given them. Complaints
have been constantly filed by business
houses that their correspondents at
villages are unable to send money or.
ders because their post offices have nc
such facilities.
During the pas. fiscal year almost
81, 1000, 900 money orders were issued,
amounting to little less than $780,
900, 900. The international money or
ders issued during the year, purchased
principally by workmen sending money
to friends or relatives in foreign coun-
tries, amounted to SIS, OOO, 600, while
the amounts drawn on the United
States by foreign countries did
not exceed S., 900, 600. During
the Harrison administration, it
is stated at the department.
there was a large extension of money
order offices, about 10, 900 having been
established. During the last four years
the number was increased by only
1000, on the theory, it is said, that
there were too many post offices. The
total number of money-order offices
now in operation is about %, 900, and
the number probably viii be increased
to $4,000 before the next fiscal year.
General superintendent Metcaf of
the money order office ssaid that the
cost to the departments of maintaining
money-order service at a post office is
less than five cents year, even if the
office transactS no money-order busi-
ness. Il it issues orders amounting to
$40 it is source of revenue, and helps
pay the general postal expenses. The
money-order business now brings q
revenue of 81, 600, 900 in fees.

THE BRITISH POSITION

-GDn the Proposed Behring Sea Conference
Unwilling 60 Admit OutsIders to Part
in the J0Int COnference-COnsIderab
DOabs Resulting to Who Will PArtIct-
pate In the Meetings.
WASHINGTON, Oct S.-The state de-
2artment has received full information
as to the position of the British gov
eminent on the proposed Behring sea
conference This proves to be much
more complete than the brief cable re-
ports from London indicate, as the de-
partment has been advised not only of
Great Britain's declination to enter a
conference unless it is limited to the
experts of the United States, Great
Britain and Canada, but also has been
informed quite fully as to what led the
marquis of Salisbury to this conclu-
sion
The British view, as laid down be-
fore the state department, is that at no
stage of the negotiations has the
british government agreed TO confer
S1ce except that between the experts
Of Great Britain, Canada and the
United States.
1t is not questioned that Secretary
Sherman and Ambassador Hay made
suggestions that the conference should
be between ''the powers interested"
and that some of the notes from the
United States authorities expressed a
desire to have Russia and Japan take
part in the conference. But it Is
pointed out that these suggestions
came from the United States, and until
accepted could have no effect in de-
termining the nature of the conference.
So far as the suggestions were accepted
the note of Lord Salisbury on July %
is said to stand alone, and this note, it
Is stated. mentioned only conference
between the experts of the United
States, Great Britain and Canada.
The latest correspondence on the
subject leads to considerable doubt as
To who will par ticipate in the coming
meetings 1t has been understood
that the difference would be bridged
over by holding two meetings, in one
of which Russia and japan would par
ticipate without Great Britain, while a
second meeting would be held between
she experts of Great Britain and the
United States
1t is understood that Ambassador
Hay was directed to effect such an ar
rangement in case Great Britain de-
ecIined to enter the general conference.
But there is now some question
whether the British authorities will
participate in any way until a definite
decision is reached as to who will take
part in the general conference, as there
Is understood to be a reluctance on the
part of the British TO join in dual con-
ference, and some doubt whether the
British experts will leave for this
country to attend either general or
limited conference, until an under
standing is reached on the entire sub
jecE- As the conference is near at
hand-the first plan having been to
hold it October 23-the negotiations
are necessarily conducted by cable, and
by this means a satisfactory adjust
1nent may yet be reached.

DeclInStfOn.

London Papers Discuss Lord Salisbury
DeclinStiOn.
LONDON, Oct. 9.-The st. James Ga
zette, referring to the formal an
nouncement of Great Britain's declina.
ton to take part in any Behring sea
conference in which Russia and Japan
might be parties says: There Will
be a feeling of relief that Great
Britain, in behalf of Canada, has final
ly declined to walk into the trap which
was being arranged at Washington.
America has never paid the damages
for the illegal seizure of Canadian seal.
ers, and has exhausted every diplo-
matte artifice to evade the award,
finally demanding fresh conference.
The marquis of Salisbury consented,
whereupon America calmly proposed
that Russia and Japan should have
seats at the conference with the OBJ
vious intention of outvoting England
and upsetting, by side wind, the Paris
award"
The Globe, commenting on the same
subject this afternoon, says: LAS a mere
matter of business it is time that firm
check was put upon the policy of the
United States in dealing with this coun-
try. There is no cause to adopt the
theory that the marquis of Salisbury al
most regretfully refuses to participate.
In the interests of Canada, it is well
to let the United States understand
that no settlement of the question will
satisfy Great Britain which sacrifices
one jot or little of the just and equita-
BILE rights of the royal dominion OF
Canada"
