The woman who allows her summer

looks better in a low neck dress than the
fat one. Any artist win corroborate this.
He will tell you that the thin necks is
more interesting, with its hollows and
curves than the fat one with its cushions
and bagginess. The thin neck is 1.-THE and
willowy and suggests the fawn. The fat
neck is elephantine, and the artist will
turn from it in disgust, while his eyes will
longily seek the thin-necked girl who pass
es by.
But for the woman who cannot be per-
suaded to show her neck on the ground
of unbecomingness, there are so many
high collarettes that one is confused in
trying to mention them. One of them con-
sists of strip of mull-only this and
nothing more! In the middle of the strip
there is set an edging of null embroidery
about fourteen inches in length. This
makes a neck finish for the fichu.
The strip of null is carried around the
neck, crossed in 'front.' taken to the back
of the neck, crossed again and brought
around to the front again. Here 1t is lied
in a knot, which may be a four-in-hand
or a simple tie. The ends are shirred into
puffs and finished with a little embroid-
erv. The null, being thin. is not cumber-
some to the neck, and il is becoming. OF
course 1t washes like calico and is there
fore a desirable feature of the summer
wardrobe.
So many of these straight null strips
are worn as necktes that one wonders
if they are not the most popular of all
neck trimmings.
With these low necks, such as were men
toned in the beginning, some latitude In
hair dressing is allowed. None but a pro-
fessional beauty can twist her hair in a
tisht knot at the back of her head II is
absolutely necessary that the hair be curl
ed in The nape of the neck and waved
around the face and ears.
A very becoming summer hair arrange
ment is formed by waving the hair
throughout its entire length. The back is
tied in the middle of the head and is
beaped into a net. The net is pinned at
the middle of the head, forming an old
fashioned chignon. The chgnon falls low
enough 10 cover the back of the neck. TWO
little follow -me-lads curis are pinned at
one side These curls are almost uniVers-
ally becoming.
Few women are courageous enough now
to brush the hair back from the ears No
artist ever drew a fancy picture which
showed the top Of the ears. Only the lobe
mems out as shown in the models Of Ra-
phael and Gainsborough, those two paint
ers who knew a woman when they saw
one. The eurls can be few or many, but
they are more becoming 20 the wearer
than the plain. bare ears
with the low neck the hair can be curl
ed in a bang, and pulled down over the
forehead, a la Princess of Wales. This
stSle Is decidedly becoming to women who
are a little past their youth, as it hides
the wrinkles between the eyebrows and
the hair Low necks are most becoming
when a woman's head is a mass Of curtis,
and the woman who selects becoming neck
arrangements must look well also 10 the
curls which are to trim her face.

SPYING TN WAR TIME
HOW we STAND IN REGARD TO THIS
METHOD or WARFARE.

xA6 6VJ - = &&<k
Given short shrift When cnuEht-The
Spanish Game In Canada and How It
was Blocked.
The recent exposure and arrest Of Lieu
tenant Ramon Carranza in Montreal have
given us an interesting view of the meth
DDS of the Spanish spy system as we'll as a
coed illustration Of our own secret service.
In civil life tho spy Is abhorred, and justly
SO, but in military affairs the position OF
the spy depends upon the point Of view.
Among his own people the spy is often
a hcro. One of tho most artistic hronzes
in New York was erected q few years ago
to the memory Of Nathan Hale, a spy
from the Continental army who was cap
tured by the British and hanged. In an
enemyas country the spy has a very uncer-
tain hold Oh life.
In regard to spying we are apt to make
partisan distinctions. For instance. I'm
clio Sam has no spies in his employ, but he
has government agents, heroic, courageous
fellows, who may be intrusted with deli
cate missions" involving great PERSONAL
danger. Perhaps the Spanish win deny
that they hayc employed spies in spite OF
Lieutenant Carranza's frank admission in
his famous letter. They are spies to US,
however, and there is no doubt that the
dons would have the bad taste to eal the
mon who secured that letter American
spies. 1t is just like tho Spanish.
Every nation since time immemorial
has prescribed that the punishment OF the
spy shall be death. Tho law Of war makes
no Discrimination on account of the sex OF
the spy, traitor or wal rebel, a woman spy
being just as liable to hanging as a man.
An interesting provision OF the law gov
erning warfare is TINT a successful spy IS
not subject to punishment, ii captured,
after having safely returned to his W
forces and given his information. He
may, however, be held as q dangerous
prisoner of war; but, technically speak
ing, he ceases to DO a spy as soon as he has
dispatched his information, and nations
have agreed not to punish spies unless
they be caught in the very act Of spying or
carrying fresh news.
The laws Of this country provide that if
a citizen obtains information, even in O
legitimate manner, and betrays itato tho
enemy he shall be hanged, whether he be
a military or civil officer or a private citi-
zen.
A Spaniard in his prescribed uniform
scouting or reconnoitefing IN our ucFfl-
tory could not be treated as q spy, since a
spy must be seeking information wilhelm
disguise or under false pretenses. Some
European officers have endeavored to in
clude military b~alloonists in the category
of spies, but 1t is now agreed among ma
tions that they be exempt from such a
class, since they perform legitimate mill
tary duties.
OF course there are many kinds of spies.
The appellation itself seems to imply a

Young Scott was educated at a public
school in Baltimore, finishing his course
at Milton academy. In 1854 he began his
career with Ohed Hussey of reaper and
mower fame. In 1857 he was engaged by
Murray & Hazelhurst in the mechanical
department of their Federal Hill engine
works.
In 1858 Colonel Peter Donahue of the
Union Iron works, San Francisco, IN
gagged him as special craftsman and took
him west, where he became a citizen of
California. In 1869 he resigned and took
up the manufacture of mining machinery,
designing new and powerful ore erushers,
holsters, stamp mills and engines pecul-
iarly adapted for deep mines. But he re-
turned to the Union Iron works and in
time became a partner.
He is well known. on the Pacific coast

ly mentioned for high political offices.

elected to the office for which he was q
candidate, even though the chief executive
be so harmless a creature as Belya Lock

of countenancing warfare. The thought
was horrible. So he sat down and wrote a
letter OF deelination, addressed to his
party, which was published broadcast.

Even in his sports the Spaniard is cruel

fights A few Americans, who chose to
call themselves sports, sometimes get mp
coekfights, but the practice is not only for
hidden by law, but is so discountenanced
by public opinion that cockfghts here are
comparatively rare.
In Spain. however, and among the
Spanish residents Of the Philippine is
lands cockfghting is o very popular
amusement The contests are generally
held on Sundays, too, and are literally nd
vertised. Cutciiffe Hynes the celebrated
English story writer and traveller, has
written a description OF a cockfight which
he sew in Manila. He tells the story as
follows:
It was held on q Sunday in the Gale

English folk of Manila, both visitors and

Tho Man Who Did 1t Chiefly Famed For
His I~ntcsrity.


The car Of all the Russias is a longdis-
tance away, but he evidently has his eyes
on us. When he learned that an Ameri-
can built battleshlp had made q voyage of
1900 miles without starting a rivet or
bombing a plate and in such phenomenal
time that she broke four worlds records,
lis was astonished. He told a court Dig
nitary to find out who built that wonder
full craft. AS q result Irving NJ. Scott, the
builder of the Oregon, has been invited to
visit St. Petersburg and will probably
uome back with contracts in his pocket.
Mr.. Scott is the head Of the Union Iron
works of San Francisco, and it was in
that establishment the Oregon was bpilt.

dishonorable person, and it was an accept
ed proverb among certain generals that
the ordinary volunteer spy is as apt to
take back news to the enemy as he is to
bring it.
In regard to Lieutenant Carranza, the
chief Of Spanish spies, for whom we have
made it so hot in Canada, he was sent to
Washington as naval attache under Senior
Polo v Bcrnabe, the minister here at that
time. He succeeded Lieutenant Sobral,
who boasted that he had acted as a spy
while here as naval attachc and claimed
to nave drawings of all our Notifications.
Sobral was about to be sent from this
ountry on account of his criticisms of the
United States navy after the Maine was
destroyed, but the Spanish government
suddenly disclosed the alleged fact that ho
had resigned before making the offensive
remarks.
Perhaps many persons, previous t tho
Carranza episode, imagined that although
the Spanish were so active in spying we
were doing nothing at all in that direc-
ton. OF course they now see their mis-
take. Early in the war the entire secret
service OF the treasury department, which
is used in times of peace to run dow coun-
terfeiters, postoffice robbers and the like,
was turned over to the wei department.
The secret service bureau had from two to
ten agents in Polo's house from the day ho
established headquarters in Canada. They
entered the ex-minister's apartments in
the guise Of book agents, plumbers, paper
hangers, steamfitters, piano tuners, gro

secured the Carranza letter. They N
