Ing the corsage just below the left
shoulder. Small puffs Of the material
constituted the sleeves.
FOR STOUT FIGURES.
Pointed vests and revers give long
err appearance to the waist, and they
are, therefore, favorite mode of
trimming for figures inclined to EN-
bonpoint. An bodices for figures
measuring over twentyfour inches
around the waist should have two
underarm pieces instead of one, which
not only lengthens the effect, but mar
rows the pieces of the bodice, thus
adding more vertical lines, all OF
which are advantageous to the figure.
COATS AND JACKETS.
A very smart style of coat is worn
by the little girls this season-that is,
the girls under ten years of age. 1t
Is made long, fitted at the back, loose
in front, and buttoned over at one
side. 1t is Of rough gray cloth, and
with it is worn white leather belt
and a broad sailor collar of white silk
edged with a double rutlle of white
ribbon. In front the collar forms re-
and are fastened with gilt buttons.
Blue, brown, and tan are the fayorite
vers which reach to the belt. This
is sometimes made up in gray or tan
corduroy, and is always a very smart
little garment The REFER and the
covert coats are worn for everyday
wear but there are some short coats
which have fancy collars that are very
much in fashion. These collars are
Of silk and lace combined or all Of
silk, or all of lace. They are square
at the back, and in front form revers,
colors, and they are always becoming,
because the collar relieves any somber
appearance the cloth might give. The
sailor and the Alpine hat are to be the
smart styles for everyday wear For
smart occasions the fancy straws
trimmed with garden flowers are in
fashion. The coloring on the hat is
particularly charming, the black hats
are the finest, softest straw, are almost
fiat in shape. and the crown Is com
pletely covered with the flowers. Wild
flowers. poppies, and corn-flowers are
all greatly in use; while for the Leg
horns ana white straws the roses and
the daisies are preferred. All the hats
are a good size, and there is not so
much eccentricity displayed in the
shapes as was the case last year In
deed. 1t would seem as though a great
effort were made to have the girls
look as youthful and girlish IN their
dress as possible Harper's Bazaar.
FAD OF NON-INTRODUCTION.

suggests that the modern fashion OF

disintegrate general society. Certain

with monogram, crest or address, IN

fashionable at present. Straw color

ANYTHING personal does not make it
any more agreeable.
THE TULIP DESIGN.
This simple but pretty design can
be placed in tumbler or claret glass,
and to accomplish it successfully a
well-stitfened, square finger napkin
should be employed. First hold the
napkin exactly in half lengthways, the
fold being at the top and the two
edges at the bottom, Then fold the
right hand side of the napkin over to
meet the left hand side. Now take the
two upper folds at the lower left-hand
corner and fold them up trianglewise

EVENING WAIST.

Crinkled goods and silk crepes bid
fair to be very popular for evening
and theater wear. These dainty ma
terfals come in every imaginable color
and make up beautifully. An effective
model of turquoise blue crepe was cut
quite low in the neck, the decolettage
outlined with full frill of the ma
teral from which depended a ruftle

FOR IMPERIALISM

It is said that President Mckinley is
studying the foreign situation with
unusual care. He realizes there is a
growing demand fore more extended
markets for American goods, and he is
inclined to believe the time has come
to actually seek eastern trade. The
capture of the Philippines ana the re-
sulting demand for the annexation of
that group has stimulated commercial
interest in the far east. It Is claimed
by students Of the situation that the
time has come for the United States 10
adopt policy of protecting whatever
trade interests it may have.
The seizure of large tracts of the
Chinese Empire by European powers
and the beginning Of the transforma-
ton in its government by which the
teeming millions of its inhabitants viii
be brought into close trade relations
with the western world has not been
Vnnoticed at Washington. The nresi-
dent feels that the American manufac-
turers ought to have the privilege Of
competing in this market and that the
far east should not longer remain a
partially sealed book to the scrutiny Of
American enterprise.
The questions which the president
will be called upon to decide in the near
future are Of immense of far-reaching
Importance to the commercial interests
Of this nation. They are not purely
political questions. but relate directly
to the material development Of the ma
