Jackets are prominent among outside
garments this spring. They are made

been brought out lately is one which has

Another new jacket fashioned somewhat
in the same way is fastened with a single
button on the bust, the oversize being turn
ed back IN triangular lapel. The shOul-
GERS are prolonged in three tabs, which fall
over the top or the slightly fulie1 sleeves
Many of the newest jacket sleeves are
Dut little larger than the armhole, into
which they fit easily, after the fashion of
mems coats.
Small fur scarfs, ostrich boas and NOUS
selne ruffs will continue to be useful and
dainty toilet accessories as spring advances.
Capes are net as much in favor as for
n'erly and can boast of no novelty; although
the new ones, like the fashionable Jackets
are generally cut longer than last year the
mcst admired creations running from "a to
30 inches in length.
The triple collarette, or coachman's cape,
is feature seen many new cIcth suits
and also characterizes our model and the
dcuble or triple skirt is another innovation
likely to be adopted by tall and slender
people.
Stylish Model
Cur model is made OF violet blue cloth.
The skirt is apparently composed of two
skirts, although the lower is a wide band
of the cloth attached to the violet taffeta
foundation, shows slight dip at the back
and each skirt is bound and faced with
stitched bias velvet of a darker shade than
the cloth.
The bolice is blouse-shaped, fitting tight
ly at the back, while the fullness In front
is gathered into belt of violet velvet fin
ishel with strass buckle The ba suue is
"a godet' at the back, and opens with two
points in 'front.', A triple coachman's col
lar appropriates the costume for outdoor
wear, AID opens ia front with revers of
violet velvet.
The high rolling collar is lined with vel
vet ard the capes are faced and bound like
the skirt, and fall over the shoulders of the
tight sleeves. A high stock collar of white
mousscline and long jabot of lace finish
the costume. An Amazon hat with trail
ing cock feathers, would look well with this
gown.
Spring millinery is dream Of beauty to
the up-to-date woman, and the variety is
SO great that 1t offers no assistance to
choosing. There is therefore, but one al
tentative; that is. to choose the most be-
coming for the first, the most swagger for
the second and the most exclusive design
Tor the third. There is no possibility for
erring II more than one hat is allowed for
the spring wardrobe, and notwithstanding
the hue and cry of great extrayagance in
millinery styles this season, offers an op-
portunity for economy which was not to be
thought of in previous seasons.

Young Grandma.
FroEi the Charleston News
Probably the youngest grandmother of
whom We have record was a Lady Child of
Shropshire, England. She had married at
twelve years of age and had child be-
fore her thirteenth year was completed.
This child, in turn, married while still very
young. with the result that Lady Child was
grandmother at twenty-seven. The most
extraordinary cases of motherhood were
those of Mrs. Honeywood of Charing, In
Kent, and Lady Temple of Stow. When
the former died, on May 10, 1920, aged
ninety-three, she counted as her descend
arts 16 cfil6ren, ia grandchildren 22S
great-grandchiidren and great-great-grand-
children. The other case was even more
remarkable. Lady Temple, who died in
1885, had given birth to sons and y
daughters. and lived to see more than 100
descendants.

A PHILIPPINE EDICT.

Wey1er's Cuban Mandates Seem Tame BY
Comparison With One of Primero's.
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 27.-Advices
from the Orient bring to hand the full
text of the edict recently issued by Gen.
eral Primero, governor general of the
Philippines, a brief reference to which
has been made through official circles
at Madrid. The edict is so severe in it's
treatment of all enemies of the i'm.
perial govern nment that the manifestoes
of Weyler seem mild in comparison.
Taken as a whole it seems a refutation
of the official announcements of the
government at Madrid, that the Philip.
pine insurrection has been suppressed
and the people pacified.
The edict begins with the revocation
of all passes heretofore issued and the
establishment of military trocha.
Property belonging to persons con-
nected with the rebellion or to tenants,
partners or to any person interested in
property belonging to the rebels, is de.
clared forfeited to the government and
will be seized to satisfy the needs of
the Spanish army.

incorporated in the rebel party must go

Spain Will Retaliate for the
Sending of a Battleship
to Havana.
Orders Issued at Madrid for
WarShipS to Visit Amer
lean Ports.
All the CourteSies Required
Extended to the Maine
on Arrival.

MADRID, Jan. 26. The newspapers
generally comment upon Secretary
Longs explanation of the visit of the
United States battleship Maine to Ha-
vana. and agree in expressing the opin-
ion that her visit is "inopportune and
calculated to encourage the insurgents.
1t is announced that following Wash.
ington's example," the Spanish govern.
ment will 'instruct Spanish warships
to visit few American ports"
The Epoca asks if the dispatch of the
Maine to Havana is intended as 'sop
to the jingoes," and adds: "We can.
not suppose the American government
so naive and badly informed as to
imagine that the presence of American
war vessels at Havana will be a cause
Of satisfaction to Spain or an indication
of friendship"
Admiral Chacon, the admiral of the
feet, had long conference with Ad.
miral Bermejo, the minister of marine.
He asserted that the recent evolutions
had demonstrated the perfect condition
Of the fleet. The next cabinet council
will decide which American ports the
Spanish men, of.war are to visit.
The Spanish papers sharply stigma.
tie the Maine incident as an "act Of
unwarranted provocation."

Arrival of the Maine Not Generally Ex-

HAVANA, Jan. rs. The United States
battleship Maine, commanded by
Charles D. Sigsbee, which left Key
West, Fla, on Jan. "a, arrived here at
IL o'clock a. m, and was saluted by
the forts and war vessels.
Shortly after the arrival here of the
Maine, Lieutenant Albert Medrano,
representing the captain of the fort,
Vice Admiral Jose Patero, visited the
United States battleship and extended
the customary courtesies.
The arrival of the warship caused
much surprise and excited considerable
curiosity.
A naval lieutenant of the Spanish
cruiser Alphonso XIII, the Spanish
flagship, visited the Maine early in the
afternoon, as did also an officer of the
German cruiser Gneisena, the school
ship. Both visits were returned by
Captain Sigsbee, after which he had
prolonged conference with Consul Gen
eral Lee. The officers and sailors of
the Maine will not go ashore at present
in order to avoid possible friction.
Captain Sigsbee has expressed him
self as much gratified by the reception
rendered him and the courtesy and COR
dialty shown.
