The skirt falls freely from yoke to the
lower edge, which finishes with wide
hem, over which two evenly spaced
rows of insertion are placed. An at
tractive feature is the Bertha shaped
with square corners at the lower edge,
which is also edged with lace headed
by insertion, the round top being
gathered and sewed on at round yoke
outline.
Plain or figured organdy, dimity,
nainsook, India silk, swiss, challie,
cashmere or any soft becoming ma

In place of the insertion can be used
ribbon in plain or gathered rows,

ISLAND OF CEUTA, SPANS PENAL SETTLEMENT.

English, and in the next year was re-
taken by the Duke of Berwick. In
1928 it capitulated to the French, and
in 1914 was the scene of an insurrec-
tion. About thirty years later it re-
belled again, and on the 23d of
August, 1878, WAS bombarded by the
Spanish fleet under Admiral Lobos.
Six months later it was occupied by
troops.
Malaga is the oldest and most fa-
nous of Spanish seaports and has a
population of nearly 100000. 1t was
founded by the Phnnicians, and was
brought under the sway of Rome by
Scipio. In the middle of the thir-
teenth century it reached its zenith,
and after its capture in 1887 by Fer
dinand and Isabella it sank into insig-
nifcance; but in modern times it be-
came famous for its grapes and wines.
The climate is very mild, and oranges,
figs, sugar cane and cotton thrive.
Recently Malaga has taken promi-
nent place as a manufacturing town,
but most of the factories are in the
new part of the town, on the right
bank of the river which divides it.
Malaga is not fortified, and looks
directly out upon the Mediterranean;
but its southern part merges into the
slopes of the foothills of tho Cerro
Colorado, some $50 feet above the
bay On the summit is the Castillo
de Gibralfaro, the acropolis of Malaga.
Ceuta is Spain's pet island colony
for convicts, and commands the ap-

while they were in Santiago Harbor,
and the effects of the naval battle,
made many of them look extremely
wretched. When they landed at Camp
Long they had hollow cheeks, sunken
eyes and sallow compilations. Many
of them were barely able to move and
bandages covered their wounds.
1t is surprising fact that the
greater number of the prisoners are
boys, and yet this illustrates much
better than anything else the despera-
ton of the Spanish Government.
Taken from their homes and impressed
into the service where their heart is
not, it is hardly surprising that the
Spanish navy was so easily defeated
at Manila and Santiago. The
type of the Spanish sailor between
the veteran and the boy is
fair specimen of the peasantry class.
Under normal conditions he is
strong, able bodied fellow, willing to
work when commanded, unlettered
and superstitious. There is no doubt
that these sailors have a deal of faith
in their officers, as the scenes of their
parting testify, and the sailors would
be willing to follow their officers
wherever they were led.
Now that they are prisoners on
American soil, they are receiving the
treatment which, it can be safely said,
has rarely been given to captured foe
in time of war. They are receiving
every consideration. Comfortable
quarters have been provided, good
food and decent clothes have fallen to
their lot. They are made to feel as
Admiral Cervera so prettily said, that
these prisoners "are>the wards of the
American people" That expresses it.
We are civilized, and treat our unfor-
tunate enemies in a civilized way.
These sailors are beginning to ap-
preciate their treatment. Their
minds have been disabused of the
falsehoods they were told by their
officers. The prisoners were told we
would kill them if they fell into our
hands. Allowing for the misfortunes
they have suffered, they are happy in
their Imprisonment, and their natures
are softened by such kind treatment.
AS they are naturally dull, they do
not indulge in much amusement in
their confinement. They associate in
groups and spend most of the time
talking, probably about their folks at
home, their mothers, wives and chill.
dren, as the case may be. Some OF
them play cards, and pass the hours
that way. Some walk around for ex.
ercise, but as whole the sailors dc
not seem to be very fond of it. They
like to lay around and take life easy,
and thankful for whatever comes then
way.
Seavey's Island is we'll guarded, SO
that if any attempt to escape is made
it will be frustrated. Marines patrol
the grounds around, and machine guns

OF logic and moral philosophy of La

of the fire which recently destroyed

Stylisi Plaid Waist.

No wash material can berelied upon
to do better service than genuine
Scotch gingham. The stylish waist
illustrated in the large engraving is
made of plaid, which has a ground of
deep cream that borders on tan color,
with lines of white and green. With it
are worn both tie and belt OF black,
which accentuate the truly artistic
coloring.
The yoke is three pointed, and ex-
tends well over the shoulders onto the
fronts. The back portion of the waist
proper is laid in fat pleats at the CEN
tire of the yoke and drawn down to the
waistline. The fronts are amply full
and show the slightest possible pouch.
Both the upper and lower edges are
arranged in gathers, the fulness of the
former being stitched to the neckband
and yoke, while the latter are drawn
toward the front and stitched to the
band. Smooth under cores sepa-
rate them from the back and aid in the
fitting. The closing is effected by
buttons and buttonholes. The sleeves
are small, after the seasons style, but
cut after the regulation shirt pattern
At the wrists are straight cuffs, with
rounded points, and at the neck is IL
high standing collar.
To make this waist for woman of
the medium size will require three and
one-fourth yards of the thirty y-six-i inch
material.

this suit is simple, the trousers being
finished to button on to smooth,

shield is applied, and the blouse worn
over is adjusted at the waist with
elastic inserted in hem at the lower

The war has not thus far produced
much novel caricature, the caricatur-
lists being satisfied for the most part
with the old types-and this, too, al
though there is some complaint of
them, says the New York Post. A
few critics have appeared who declare
that there is not sufficient correspon-
dence between the type and what ii
typifes. John Bull, for instance, it
is said, might we'll enough two gen.
sratiops ago have been regularly set
before us as burly, red-cheeked far
mer, and in the days when the

Of a theatre, the United States might
fairly have been caricatured as long,
lank, lantern -jawed Yankee whittier;
but in these days John Bull and we
have become more cosmopolitan,
and both countries should endeavor
to introduce new caricature type
which would be more cup to date"

Europe, and for the Rambla, q wide,
we'll shaded street nearly mile long,
extending right through the city and
favorite promenade. 1t resembles
the boulevards of Paris in many re-
spects. Another famous Spanish sea-
port is Bilbao, in Biscay. 1t has many
curious sights, the most famous of
which is the tree tower.
The ancient walls of Barcelona
were torn down after long period of
street rioting by the Catalans, who
were determined to remove them in
order to allow industrial expansion,
and their places have been taken by
wide streets. To the southwest of the
ancient city is crest or high hill,
which breaks down precipitously to
the sea- 1t is called Montjuich, and
its summit is occupied by the Cas-
tillo de Montiuich, strong fortress,
said to have accommodation for 10,
900 men.
Cartagena, sometimes called Cartha-
gena, is q small place of about 80, GOO
inhabitants, but its harbor is the
finest on the eastern coast of Spain,
and is very strongly fortified. The
place was founded about DAB B. c.,
more than twenty centuries ago, and
was originally known as Carthage
Nova, or New Carthage, to distinguish
it from the African city. 1t is now
the seat of Captain-General, and
one of the three largest marine de-
partments.
The towns lie on the north side of
a deep, narrow-mouthed bay, and its
streets are spacious but not impos-
ing. The stone of which most of the
houses were constructed is friable and
the whole appearance of the place is
dilapidated. But a good deal Of bust
ness is done, principally from the
mines nearby, which are very produc-
tive. Thousands of men are en-
ployed in transporting lead, copper,
iron, zinc and sulphur to the port.
Large quantities of esparto grass are
grown near the town and it consti-
tutes one of the principal exporta. 1t
is used in the manufacture OF paper.

The most important Of the coast
cities of Spain on which Admiral
Watson fixed his glittering eye 10
Cadiz, on the southwestern coast, be-
tween Cape st. Vincent and Gibraltar.
1t is the principal city of the Province
of Andalusia, the garden of Spain,
and has population of about 10000
souls. Andalusia is the theme of the
most glowing descriptions of travellers
in Spain, and it is often characterized
as the most beautiful country and the
finest climate on the globe. In that
land spring is we'll advanced in Feb
ruary, and there is marvellous blend
ing of northern and southern vegeta-
ton. Apple and pear trees blossom
by the side of oranges, cacti and
aloes, and the ground everywhere is
covered with flowers. In the valleys
even the banana, cotton and sugar
cane are grown, while the fruits of
this region are esteemed the best in
Spain.
Cadiz is built On the extremity of a
tongue Of land projecting about five
miles into the sea and enclosing be-
tween it and the mainland n magnif-
cent bay. The site very much resem-
bles that of some of the West Indian
cities, particularly San Juan, in Porto
Rico. Seen from either side, the city
appears as an island, and it is known
far and wide as the "White City" De
Amicis says: "To give an idea of
Cadiz, one could not do better than
write the word white with pencil
on blue paper and make note on the
margin, Impressions of Cadiz. ;" The
natives call it 'The Silver Dish," and
it has also been likened to an ivory
model set in emeralds. Every house
in the city annually receives coat of
whitewash, which is glaring and dis
agreeable when new, but soon mel
lows to fine ivory tint. For the uni
formity and elegance of its buildings
Cadiz must be ranked as one of the
finest cities in Spain, and it is said to
surpass all others in cleanliness, al
though the death rate is nearly forty
five per thousand.
The city is six or seven miles in cir
conference, and is surrounded by q
wall with five gates, one of which com
municates with the isthmus. The rail
road station is just outside the wall,
as are alsomany of the business houses
of the place. The walls are thirty to
fifty feet high, nineteen feet thick, and
on the side of the bay, where it is ar.
ranged in broad terraces, is favorite
place for walking in the evenings.
This is known as the Alameda, and
commands a fine view over the ship

Human nature crops out in the
circles Of domestic peace or war quite
as often and as typically as it does
down on the sweltering battlefelds of
Cuba. A dressmaker who sued O Gus
toner for 50 furnished q pleasing ex-
ample of this in police court in New
York City. The customer swore be
fore more or less patient Magistrate
that the garment which was appraised
Mt 50 made her look like a fright, and
that she could not conscientiously
give up her good money for such poor
work. The dressmaker, however, de-
manded 50, and would not take any
thing else. The Magistrate thereupon
invented "the municipal fund for the
settlement of strange cases." and paid
the money out of his own pocket.
When the dressmaker found out that
there was no such fund she returned
the money with the announcement
that she had an abundance of it. She
simply did not wish another woman to
''get the best of her" That is the
glorious spirit which wins victories in
peace or war.

many powerful batteries. The hill on
the east is 920 feet high, and is
crowned by the Castillo de San Julian
that on the west is $50 feet above the
water, and the fort upon its summit
is called the Castillo de las Galeras.
The harbor is sheltered by the island
called La Escombrera, two and half
miles from the narrow entrance,
which breaks the force of wind and
waves, and the town is still further
protected by two other forts, the Atal-
ava on the summit of hill 655 feet

an independent kingdom, which was
conquered by Ferdinand II. of Cas-
tile in 1243. The Moors retook it,
but it fell into Spanish hands again in
1916. The town was rebuilt by

THE PRISONERS OF WAR.
Spain's Captured Sailors Are Contented
With Their Treatment.

With Their Treatment.
The naval battle off Santiago, in which
Admiral Cervera's feet was annihilated,
has placed in the keeping of the Gov
ernment about fifteen hundred pris-
oners. These sailors, who left their
native shores for the purpose of do
ing damage to American coasts and to
capture or sink our ships, are living
contentedly at Camp Long, Seaveys
Island, Portsmouth, N. H., which was
prepared expressly for them.
These sailors are a study, and for
many reasons. They represent the
national type; they show the quality
of men who form the Spanish army
and navy; they are unmistakable evil
dences why the Spanish Government
was able to plunge the people into
war which threatens the reigning
dynasty with greater dangers than
those of peace.
The captured sailors are made up of
men and boys. In their ranks can be
seen the gray haired veteran, who has
spent his life in the Spanish navy,
down to the smooth and innocent faced
boy, who, were he an American, would
yet be at school, enjoying his youth.

ribbed, rock-bound island off the
northeast coast of Fez, Morocco, and
is twelve hours sail from the entrance
to the Straits of Gibraltar. 1t might
as we'll be called the island of the
seven hills, for from these it derives
its name. OF these the most CON
spicuous is Monte del Hacho, which
looks out toward Spain like signal
point set up to say "All's well. :"
Stretching back from the mountain n
narrow peninsula connects the island
with the main land of Africa. On this
neck of land the town of Ceuta is
built. All around are Notifications,
the high hills put up there by nature
and the prison walls and moats built
in succession by conquerors and re-
modelled and rebuilt by their sue
cessors and strengthened again by the
Spaniards when they made of it q
prison hell. The seven walls coiled
about the town itself are thick and i'm
passable, save here and there where
arched bridges have been cut through.
Between each> wall there is deep
moat of sea water, set down like q
seductive trap to catch any unfor-
tunate convict who might escape the
vigilant guards stationed all around
the walls. Every one of the seven
hills is fortified now. Up high on
