Cuban Editor Sounds distinct Warming.
Havana. Nov. 22.-General Collaso,
in an editorial in the Cubano to-day,
says:
I'VE are only waiting for the decision
of the United States Congress, upon
which depends the decision that Cuba
herself will reach. If the language of
the Americans is not clear, the horizon
of Cuba will darken with tremendous
protests which will rise from all parts
of the island. Cubans are resolved.
Their words must not be taken as mere
boastngs. They will not abandon n
solitary right They will not tolerate
the calm diplomatic cheating of
Washington.
"a worthy people cannot tolerate for
eign interference in their private af-
fairs. even when that interference is
in the name of altruism. The Cubans
do not owe the Americans as much
now as they formerly did. Perhaps to-
morrow they will have reason to deny
that they owe them anything at ALL

variation in the use of the sequins in

medium size and first choicely painted
with flowers or birds, and the spangles
are then utilized to form the landscape
or architectural effect. For instance,
they send us from Paris lovely pea
cock fans of gauze. Across a black
background strut a flock of these gor-
geous fowls. all painted charmingly
save for the eyes in their tails, that
are elaborated with glittering fidelity
in sequins of marvellous minuteness
and variety of tone.
Beside this work of art was one
showing a flock of sails on an admir-
ably-rendered lake. behind which sank
sun of ruddy sequins, with long
sequined rays. Also from Paris come
the fans painted on gauZe, chicken
skin and parchment, with scenes from
famous fairy tales.

season ushers in the soothing silk gar

goods so fine and so inwrought with
lace that it is essential to wear with
them all undergarments of pale tinted
silky stuff.
The very latest nighties have their
sleeves and waists made almost wholly
of lace, then by a lace girdle, inter
woven with ribbon, the full skirt of

COMPLEXION'S CARE
In THE HOT SUMMER

If you begin early enough in the year
you may prevent freckles by using the
following lotion two or three times a
day instead of washing the face. Get
one ounce of simple tincture of ben
zoin and add to it drop by drop a quart
of elderflower or rose water, stirring
all the time. The addition of fifteen
drops of tincture of myrrh and a few
drops of glycerine is an Improvement,
Another good wash to be used in the
same manner is made of equal parts of
fresh lemon juice rose water and rec
titled spirits. Mix thoroughly and
leave Until the next day, then strain
through muslin, when it will be ready
for use.
Once the little brown spots have made
their appearance, the following is eX
cellent for driving them away:
Powdered boraX. drachms; chlorate
of potash, drachm; rectified spirits, 3
drachms; glycerine. one-half ounce;
rose water. 6 ounces.
Apply with a soft sponge several
times a day.
For winter freckles, or those which
are inclined to remain all the year
round, a more powerful remedy is
needed, and the following will be found
delightfully."- effective:
Take of the above lotion 100 parts.
Add to that so parts of glycerine, 10
parts of hydrochloric acid and parts
of chlyro -hydrate of ammonia. Your
druggist can easily mix it for you in
these proportions. Apply night and
morning with a small paint brush.

UP-TO-DATE eROQUET.
Here Are the New Rules, Handicaps
and Terms.

There are to be croquet tournaments
this summer with handsome prizes. and

"foursomes," croquet quite as likely as
golf is referred to, as well as when one
talks glibly OF open challenge sin

A new order for tournaments is to
play two days in the week only. usually
Wednesdays and Saturdays, until the
game is ended.
The regulation dimensions of a full
sized croquet ground are thirty-five
yards in length by twenty-eight in
width. within a boundary line accurate
ly defined. Smaller grounds should be
made in the same proportion-that is,
any multiple of five by four.
Another innovation is the handicap
introduced by many clubs, small
wicket, not more than three and half
inches in diameter. Another novelty is
applying to the timber border of a
croquet ground half-round band of
soft rubber, by which the most remark
able caroms are made, extricating the
player very often from embarrassing
Positions.
All games are opened by scoring from
an imaginary line through the middle
wicket, and playing toward the turning
stake The balls must be so played

the turning stake, and, if dislodged,

order of colors is blue, red, black anc

There is no restriction as to the size

The time and place of meeting.

the front of the latter garment a

fully as a rising sun.
Sweet Lavender.

and becoming choice. and it is to be
vouched that men, dark, light and of
uncertain complexion, accept the laven-
der dyes with astonishing grace.
Nearly every phase of the almost
ubiquitous bandanna tie chimes well
with the lavender linen, and the man
who is got up creditably for all his
