NIPING OUT OLD SCORES
What the Quebec Conference Is
Meant to Accomplish.
WE SHAKE HANDS WITH CANADA

Uncle San shows That He Can Arbitrato
as Well as Fight-who the Men Are
and What the Questions They VIII
Solve.
These are busy days for the American
diplomat Not only is be working over
time in trying to convince Spain that
she is thoroughly thrashed and must
take the consequences, but he is MAX
ing an attempt to clean up all the diff
ferences which exist between Uncle
Sam and Canada. In other times even
this latter job would occupy his whole
attention and fix the interest of the ma
ton, but it has been overshadowed by
the more exciting events of the war un-
til the conference is actually under way
before we half realize its Importance.
The opening of the sessions of the in.
ternational commission at Quebec is
really the starting of movement which
will probably bring about results that
will be wide and lasting in their effects.
Stripped of diplomatic verbiage, the
conference which was opened Aug. IL
the council chamber at Quebec is an at
tempt to settle all the disputes and diff
ferences which nave existed for years
between the Dominion and the United
States. 1t is to be wiping out Of old
scores. Both Uncle Sam and the Cana.
dians confess to desire TO wipe the
slate off clean and start a new score on
a friendly basis,
That this is good, wholesome senti-
ment every honest citizen must admit.
1t is almost inspiring, this spectacle Of
Uncle Sam rolling down his sleeves
after his encounter with the dons and
shaking hands across the back fence
with the neighbor who but a few
months back had been a constant men
ace TO his peace Of mind.
What the practical effects are to be
cannot safely be predicted. We are
sure, however most Of US at least, that
a good, frank talk and the exchange of
concessions can only tend to make the
relations between the two countries
pIeasanter and work for the mutual
benefit of both.
An extension of the commerce be-
tween the two countries is the prime
object, of course. We would like to have
the Canadians buy more Of our boots,
shoes, cloth, machinery and notions,

SOME OUTING SUITS.

or neutral colors.
Since writing the above regarding hats
! received word to go to O place and see
some new" hats New they are with a
vengeance They arc of felt and such
shapes One is like one of those old fash
ioned lone hoss shays" and is Of striped
felt In black and white, the stripes going
around from one side to the other. 1t is
called q normandy bonnet Another has
the crown crosswise and is in black, brown
and blue felt. Another has crown like
derby, with brim tipped up at the
sides and down in front with piece turn
ed sharply down and having three white
stripes all around over tho black felt. This
reminded one of the old clothes men as
they go around with pile of hats on their
heads, for this looks exactly as If there
were three hats together.
But the worst of them all Is called the
"angel wing" The crown Is rather high
and conical, and the brim wide and flap
ping OF would be If in front 1t had not
been cut away in a clumsy imitation of
the upper part of pair of wings The
trimming is Of piece velvet mostly, made
into large upright bows at the back or
side, the front being simply filed in with
some trimming calculated to show the
"angel wing"
The square shouldered effects in basques,
waists and jackets become more pro-
nounced as the season advances.
Braid galloon and jetted passemen-
terie are seen on these tailored garments.
Some have the trimming arranged in
curves, but the most have square arrange.

The millions OF plumes now being made
ready for the fall and winter will find
suitable place on this shape Of hat Some
l noticed have ribbon strings TO tie under
the chin. Almost all bonnets without ex-
ception have strings either of ribbon, vel
vet or lace barbs. These latter will be In
demand for evening for the reason that
they give excuse for the wearing of moro
diamonds.
Bonnets we can speak of collectively,
but End that as soon as l wish to men,
ton one individually In detail It instantly
resolves itself into nothingness. There are
little frame, little lace sewed on It, a
scrap Of velvet, o tiny remnant of ribbon,
perhaps a little floating aigret and q
sparkling Jewel or so. Maybe q flower
adds its color. How, then, can / make
any one understand what tho finished bon
net looks like2 In your hand IL looks
pretty enough, but 1t must be upon a
head to look its best. Then 1t becomes
lovely.
There are few toques offered, the prefer
enoe being for the small or large bonnet
shape or capote. Black and white effects

Ostrich feathers in the oolors of the hats
they decorate will be preferred TO any 9th
er feathers, though there will be some odd
fancies in made birds Some Of the osprey
aigrets have very fine spangles upon
them, and others have the small feathers

Among the stuffs to be adopted by the
smart set for tailor gowns one finds thick
tweed in various oolors The goods are
thick and quite as heavy as those worn by
the men. Some Of them are striped and
some plaided, and others still are plain

made proof against transforms as well as
so many other goods, is used TO make the
useful long cloaks for travelling and for
rainy days. These button down the front,
but have no sleeves, the cape covering all
such deficiency.
There really is little TO say with refer
ence to new cycling outfits, for, while
there ore dozens Of different fancies, they
all follow one general rule. The skirt
closed across the front and divided in the
back has proved better than any other. 1t
