NEW WEDDING OUTFIT.
Hints for Prospective Brides with More
Friends Than Wealth.

Hints for Prospective Brides with More
Friends Than Wealth.
These hints are for the prospective
bride with more friends than wealth.
Let her invite her girl friends to meet
together regularly, one afternoon in
each week, when the time may be spent
in preparing your bridal lingerie. Let
each girl bring with her some sewing
similar to yours; or, If preferred, some
embroidery or other work.
Select by vote an interesting book,
and let each girl in turn spend twenty
minutes in reading it aloud then pass
it to the next in alphabetical order. 1t
will surprise you after a few weeks to
find how much knowledge you have
gained, if good judgment has been
used in the selection of the books, and
also how greatly you have improved
in your reading. A great deal of work
may be accomplished in this way.
If you are not hurried it is best to
provide one dozen of each article worn,
for these garments made at home are
so much better than those bought ready
made that an extra supply is greatly to
be desired. Do not make the mistake
Of putting too much fussy work on
them. By the use of the best mater
ials and the daintiest of hand work
very little trimming is required.
Especially in making your night
dresses be careful to select a simple
pattern, that will not be injured by
frequent laundering. Two or three
handsome gowns will suffice. The 9TH
ers should be made by the French pat
tern in which the tucks are run in the
muslin, and the gown then cut from the
piece. Experience has taught that ruff
fies and tucks, frills and furbelows,
large collars and flowing sleeves are
decidedly uncomfortable for steady
wear.
1t is a good plan to make half a
dozen night dresses of muslin for win
ter wear and half a dozen of Lonsdale
cambria for summer use. A little Va
lenciennes lace used as a finish at
throat and wrists will give a vast
amount of wear. 1t is astonishing
how much wear such frail-looking ma
terial will stand, and so far as dainti-
q ness goes it cannot be surpassed.

Out on the water in the moonlight A
more beautiful or romantic situation for
young man to tell the story of his love and

The courtship of young couple may be

A FOREGONe CONCLUSION.
The Best Possible settlement for spain
and the World.

London. Nov. 29.-The virtual con-
clusion Of the Paris negotiations re-
ceived but small notice from the morn
ing papers. Some OF the papers ignore
IL editorially. while those offering any
comment merely repeat their former
views on a settlement long regarded
as a foregone conclusion and universal
ly recognized as the best possible set
tlement for Spain and the world in
general
The Times in its editorial on the sub
ject refers to the fiscal side of the
question and says: ANY administra-
tion entrusted with the government Of
the United States may surely be trust
ed without an amendment to the con-
stitution. to administer this bit of ex-
ternal estate for the benefit of the na-
tion as a whole"
The Daily Chronicle says: America
has had her way and the time OF the
negotiations has been largely wasted.
SO far as the decision to annex the
Philippines goes. the United States, af-
ter some hesitation. have chosen the
narrow path Of duty. which always at
tracts the brave mind"

NEAR AN END.
Very Little More for the Peace Commits

Very Little More for the Peace Commits
sion to do.
Washington, Nov. 2s.-Officials of the
state department without hesitation ac-
cepted as accurate the associated press
bulletin from Paris announcing the
Spanish commissioners had accepted
the American terms. although official
advices had not been received up to
noon. Secretary Hay has been conf
dent from the beginning such would be
the outcome. although at times In the
negotiations there were signs OF serious
disagreements that might have led to
"a failure of the commission.
Much remains To be done In execu-
tion of the last instructions of the
state department before the treaty it
self can be completed and made ready
for signature.
Instructions to the American COM
missioners were sent last week to ar
range for a renewal Of denounced trade
treaties with Spain. for the acquisition
of Ualan. for obtaining concessions for
cable connections in other quarters and
for the procurement of religious tolera-
tion i'm the Carolines. These things are
not likely to be easily disposed of; so IL
may be that the American commits
sioners will feel they have complied
with the spirit of the instructions IL
they succeed In including in the peace
treaty a provision binding the Spanish
government to negotiate thereafter on
those subjects along lines that may be
very broadly defined in the peace
treaty. In this case two or three more
sessions of the peace commission should
suffice to complete the work of that
body.
II il the impression at the state de-
partment, in the absence of anything
save press reports OF the proceedings
at Paris to-day, that the commission
work II now near an end and that
about two weeks time will suffice To
close IL up. This idea is based on the
belief that instead OF undertaking to
arrange the several matters yet to be
settled. each of the parties will begin
negotiations In the near future upon
sity must be very carefully drawn In
order 10 insure the United States a re-
sumption OF commercial relations with
Spain on fair terms with other nations.
though II cannot go far into details
and must he limited In scope to some
thing like general pledge to yield TO
the United states favorable conditions.
IL was said at the state department
that the next step in order will be to
begin negotiations for the acquisition
OF ITALIAN i'm the Caroline islands for a
cable station. This is not TO be made
the subject of a demand upon Spain.
but will be an offer In all sincerity to
purchase the island at a fair price. IL
Is not i'm contemplation to take all OF
the Caroline group.

the newspapers are able to form what
may be called public opinion in the old
world. They are practically unanimous
on the matter. Outside of England. I
have not met a single non-American
who was not opposed to the expansion
of America; nor through my whole tour
OF Europe have I met a European who
did not receive the protestations of gen.
uine sincerity with which the Ameri-
cans entered upon the war with more
or less mock incredulity."
Stead reports the bitterest hostility of
all was found at the vatican.
When the members OF the two COM
the Spanish commission. handed the
Spanish reply to Ferguson. Spanish in
terpreter. attached to the United
States peace commission. The answer
of the Spaniards was so short that less
than ten minutes were consumed In
rendering II into English for the Amer
leans. Spain's reply was as already ca
bled. and added that throughout the
controversy Spain had the strongest
argument. and as between the positions
so Numerically opposed. the American
offer of $20.000.000 was not n fair sum.
Nevertheless. the reply continued,
Spain desired TO avoid any further ef-
fusion of blood and further disorder.
and had concluded to accent the Ameri-
can offer Internationally. and thus bow
to the superior power of the victor.
The secretaries were then ordered To
prepare the treaty articles embodying
the cession OF Cuba. Porto Rico and the
Philippines and the payment by the
United States Of $50. 600. 900. for submis-
sion to the meeting which will be held
on Wednesday next
The leading article in the Temps to-
day, a column long. Is devoted to
severe arraignment Of the American at
titude towards Spain, In which Amer
lea Is made to appear as a merciless
conqueror imposing Draconian condi-
tions on a helpless foe and "exacting
the signature of a treaty at the point
OF the bayonet." The Temps adds:
"The Spanish commissioners should.
in submitting, protest to the civilized
world against the spoliation of the
weak by the strong"
After the joint session the Spaniards
repaired to their quarters and had an
animated and lengthy session.
