PARIS. June II. 1899.
One of the prettiest rendezvous in Paris
now is the Ritz cafe where one may sit
out in the garden and sip tea blissfully
after hours spent in trying shopping expe-
riences in the Rue de la Paix. There one
has q chance to inspect the gowns of fash
ionable women who have all the afternoon
been bent on inspecting work of the dress

giving it suggestions of curves and plump

Where Fading Was Artistic.

But q ready-made bathing suit is not all
it appears when one takes it home from the
shop. 1t is usually made on a generous
mold in order that it may not be too tight
WI en- it shrinks But l never knew one to
shrink SO that 1t bore any resemblance to
a fit. Then, too. unless one pays a great
deal for a ready made bathing suit, 1t Is
not of material which holds its color. The
fading of a bathing suit, however, is not
such great calamity. At a resort on the
Jersey coast last summer one modest suit
of blue brilliantine, trimmed with gradu-
ated rows of white braid, caused its owner
some annoyance by fading and in the pro
cess the blue ran into the white braid and
the whole suit took on a gray blue tinge.
Judge of the surprise and qualification of
it's wearer when she heard that suit raved
over as 80 artistic on account of it's blue
gray tones Indeed, in these present days,
when we are getting to know art values,
faded materials are no longer looked upon
as ruined, and glaring tones are often judi
ciously toned down by their owners by ex-
posing to the sun.
Materials Most Fancied.
Flannel, plain and severe, is not very
popular nowadays as material for bath
ing suit. Serge is liked better, and when
white is the color chosen serge should al
ways be the material Brilliantine is the
best material known. 1t sheds the water
and does not cling at all. A very good and
heavy quality must be chosen, however,
otherwise 1t will run and fade and al
| though this objection, 1 have stated,
may be overlooked, the second and most
serious one is that 1t will be too thin. In
fact, IT is always better to make the waist
| of q brilliantine bathing suit double, I'M
less one can get a very heavy weave. or
| to wear little flannel waist. preferably
black. This will be found wise precau-
ton, in spite of the oft-repeated saying
that one never catches cold in salt water.

Capitol Island, which IL . part Of
the town Of Southport. and Is In the
BAY near Boothbay, has been growing In
popularity as a summer resort for over
twenty years. IL is much frequented by
people from Augusta and PLACES along the
lover Kennebee river. Until the present
time It has been managed In an easy
going way. each cottager doing as he
pleased. But there has been need OF q
road on the island, the spring from which
all have used the water has.had to be dug
out and made into well. and the privil-
eyes Of the wharf have been curtailed to
the fishermen. All these things are nat
urally creating assessments. and assess
ments are making trouble. Exoursions
also are to be denied landings in future.
All these things are the inevitable results
OF progress, and the Capitol islanders
viii be happier In the end for acquiesc-
ing In them.

The wisdom of Roosevelt's speech at
Akron, Ohio, on Saturday may be doubt
ed. There are many Republicans In that
state, among them SO distinguished a
leader as John Sherman, who are not in
full sympathy with the Philippine
policy, and the great majority
of them are Influenced by moral
considerations. They cannot make
1t seem right and consistent with our pro-
fessions to be engaged In what seems 70
them war of subjugation. These men
are quite as patriotic as Roosevelt, and
quite as anxious that the country's honor
shall be preserved unstained. To de-
nounce them as traitors and doughfaces,
and copperhsads, as Roosevelt did at
Akron, by implication at least.

AMI exceedingly unwise from a party
standpoint. To calmly show them that
they are wrong is the right way. Every

There cannot be any doubt a. to how
the Dutch Of South Africa look upon the
proposed invasion OF the Transaval, since
the action of the Orange Free State. The
Orange Free State has no specific griev-
ance of its own. There are few
outlaEders in 1t, since no gold to attract
them was ever discovered there, and there
is no question affecting their rights
existing or likely to arise. Did the
Orange Free State look upon the con-
troversy betw cen the British and the
Beers as one which merely related to GER
tain franchise questions. and had no
broader and wider Specification 1t would
have nothing to do with 1t, beyond, per-
haps. advising tue Beers to make such
concessions as might satisfy England and

undoubtedly regards the movement

general movement along the line, which
has for its ultimate object something more

Linked with the question of revenue is
the question of active and prosperous In
dustries, good wages and high standard
of living. That nation Is most prosper
GUS whose people live on the highest So
cial scale and whoEe ordinary copsumn-
tion Is the greatest. The standard of
wages Is higher in this country than In
European and Asiatio countries because
the masses live on higher social plane.
They demand and receive higher wages
because their wants ars greater, because
they consume more of the necessities and
luxuries Of life than do the laboring
masses Of the other countries. A high
consuming power among the people of
any nation Ia the key to that nation
pros perity. A policy that tends to cripple
a nations industries reduces the consum-
ing power of its people and inevitably
brings about industrial stagnation. The
home market has always been and will
always be the best market for our manu-
facturers. This fact must not be forgot

pire; and our home market can be pre-
served only by maintaining to the high
est possible degree the purchasing and
consuming power of our own people.
