Success in business.
A Washington modiste, who enjoys

women in the official set, lst a Star re-,

few days ago. Said she: 40. 1 don't

Immediately won fer me Z reputation.

though I had tried hard TO please my
young lady, knowing if l succeeded it
would be the meaCs of increasing my
business, the thought came to me that
if could make up the package and send
it home with some stamp of individuality
about it, it would be feather in my cap.
At that moment 1 was sewing hang
loops on the waist, and the great idea
flashed through my brain. I jumped
up, seized a candle and made for the
cellar. Arrived there, I grasped a
| hatchet and knocked off a barrel hoop.
Dividing the hoop in half, I hurried
back upstairs with my embryonic waist
holder. It did not take me long to cover
the curved stick with some pieces of ma
terial left from the gown and attach
| ribbon and bow. 1t made very dainty
and useful accompaniment to the gown,
and my customer was delighted. Wasn't
it happy idea? Why, I never send a
gown home now without pretty waist
holder to match, and Iput sachet powder

circumstances, becomes specially In
teresting, because it is probably the
final episode in the long struggle be.
tween England and France for the
trade belonging to the great river val
leys of the world. Fashoda belongs
historically to the great struggle with
France which began under William Of
Orange and was erroneously supposed
to end with the battle of Waterloo. For
one hundred and twenty-six years,
from 1859 to 1915 the British were en-
gagged in seven great wars. These
wars either began as wars with France
or soon became so. There is, there
fore, some reason, apart from the folly
of kings, which forces the English
continually to be in conflict with the
French. These wars were caused by
the instinct of self-preservation-the
strongest instinct OF humanity. They
were mercantile wars, and the funda-
mental reason for each of them was
that the English we're afraid that the
French would take from them the col
onies they had, and so close their mar
kets; and they also saw a good chance

the proceedings, and whose claim of
prior occupation involved the dispute
between the two Governments.
Great Britain stands united in this
matter and the people are warmly
backing up Lord Salisbury's determ-
ination to hold Fashoda at all haz-
ards. The words of Sir Michael
Hicks-Beach, uttered in q recent
speech defines the English attitude.
"I hope, trust and believe the
question is capable of friendly solu-
tion. but this country has put her foot
down. If, unhappily, another view
should be taken by France the Queens
ministers know what their duty de-
mands."
Not less positive are the words of
Lord Roseberry, who, unlike the con-
servative Sir Michael, is former Lib
eral Premier. He disposes of the
subject by denying to Mr.. Marchand
the right torepresent the Government
of France, suggesting to France that
the easiest way out of the difficulty is
to repudiate Marchand altogether. In
all events, there was but one opinion
in England, and France must back
down or make for war, and Great
Britain was ready for either result.
The London Saturday Review says:
The facts on which the Fashoda dis
pute is based are very much deeper
than is generally supposed. At first
sight it would appear as if the Freuch
were grasping at shadow and disre-
garding the substance in pertinacious
ly laying claim to an apparently bar
rem and unproductive spot while neg
lecting the fertile district of Bahr- ell

case. Fashoda is point of incalcul-

Kitchener acted wisely and with tact,
while Major Marchand behaved like a
gentleman of France. Nothing would
have been easier than for Kitchener,
by the tyrannous use of overwhelming
force, to have hurried England into
her twenty-fifth war with France by
wounding the susceptibilities of the
brave soldier explorer. Kitchener's
language to Marchand was prescribed
for him by Lord Salisbury. Annoy
ance to England was the sole motive
of the Marchand expedition. To send
an armed party of Frenchmen abso-
lutely without base to occupy Egyp-
tian territory and defy the joint power
of England, Egypt and India-for In
dian forces could land at Suakim with
in ten days from the date of an order
from London--is so wild scheme
that it can end in nothing but futility.
When the Fashoda incident is settled,
the French power Of annoyance in
Egypt will probably be considerably
curtailed before the coming winter is
over. The French, aided by the Rus.
SLAMS, who have no interests in Egypt,
block the way by opposing grants be-
ing allowed for the Egyptian War De-
partment by the Caisse de la Dette.
In January next the existing interna-
tional arrangements will be modified.
In English Government circles it is
maintained that everything has passed

pated, and that the French flag at
Fashoda meant no more than the dis.
play of British union-jack from the
window of an English shop in Paris.

pointed governor of the Bahr-el
Ghazal.
When the Egyptians were expelled
from the country the French were
given a route across the African con-
tinent connecting their Congo colony
in the west with the French posses
sions in the east. The idea of taking
this part of the Sudan grew with the
French Government steadily, and took
form and substance when in 1894 it
negotiated q treaty with Germany con-
cerning the Cameroons and Lake
Tchad. Britain's treaty with the
Congo Free State, negotiated by Lord
Kimberley few years ago, was abro-
gated, and the French were given a
free hand in the Bahr- ell Ghazal. In
1894 the French Chamber voted $780,
900 for "the formation of column to
