MISSION OF THE DETROIT.
Will Protect Americans at Bluehelds
From ExtOrti0n.

From ExtOrti0n.
The cruiser Detroit got away Friday
from La Guayra for Port Limon, Costa
Rica, where she will receive instructions
from the Navy Department as to her fur
Their course The cable to Nicaraguan ports
being interrupted through the arbitrary
action of General Torres, Port Limon is
the last point where the Detroit can receive
instructions direct. Nothing has been heard
at the State Department from its represen-
tatives in Nicaragua since Consul SorsDy
cabled from Port Linon several days ago an
account of Torres action and appealed Tor
two warships. The Detroit is due at Port
Limon Tuesday morning, and unless there
is decided change for the better in the
situation in Nicaragua she will push on
with all speed to Bluefieds.
Our government is not disposed to act ar
bitrariy in the interest of any particular
class of importers, but it is determined not
to tolerate the extortion practiced by Tor
res upon American merchants there. A dis
queting feature of the situation is the
semi-indorsement by President Zeiaya of
Torres contention that he has a right to
collect duties which have already been paid
by the Americans to the de facto govern
ment of Bluefields under General Reyes,
the leader of the late insurrection. The
Nicaraguan government contention is that
the foreign residents of Bluefeids having
been warned by the government not to pay
customs dues to the insurgents. cannot now
claim exemption from a recollection by the
government of duties so paid.
Inc state department, however, HAS
satisfied itself that the insurgent govern
ment at Bluefields, under General Reyes,
was de facto government in the full sense
of the term, and also that the merchants
paid the duties under absolute compuSon.
Therefore, it is determined not to tolerate
a recollection of these duties on the part of
the Nicaraguan government. 1t is pointed
cut that If the Nicaraguan government 3
contention is correct, and the duties Were
Illegally paid to the insurgents, then Pres
| ident Zelaya's government is fully respon-
sibe to the merchants for every cent col
lected by the insurgents.

HIS MENT.

The sultan of Oomlipoore sat upon his
throne deep in thought. Around him
stood his councillors, like carven images,
each praying that he shouldn't sneeze
and thus break the sultan's reverie and
incur the anger of that mighty %potentate.
Suddenly the sultan looked up. and it
was noticed that the fire of anger had
left his eyes and that these ~sultanic orbs
We're moist and kindly looking.
Bring in the prisoner" he said, and
at ono there was a wild rush to obey
the order.
Presently the prisoner was marched
into the throne room, a bold, tine-looking
young man, who held himself erect even
in the presence of his august sovereign.
prisoner" said the sultan sternly, as
the man stood before him, you We're
caught in my seraglio making love to
one of my wives, is it not so?"
Even so, your Majesty said the
prisoner boldly.
And you know the punishment?"
Il know it. l took the risk, and my
life is fofeited. If l may escape the tor
ture, | shall be glad; it not, I shall NOV
how to bear it like a man,"
The sultan looked not unkindly at the
/ young fellow.
Bring. in the sultanas," he said.
And presently to the number of 300 there
sWased into the room the wives of the
grand monarch.
You see," said the sultan to the pris-
oilef, l nave ouo wives, you nave none.
The prisoner bowed assent.
Young man. went on the sultan, not
unl1indly. you did not know when you
were we'll off. My dears," he added adj

and your are hereby divorced. You will
now marry the prisoner. and l shall have
the fun of making love to any of you I
may wish to interview on the sly. My
friend" he continued to the prisoner
but the young man had tainted and heard
nothing. and a confused heap Of s%ultanas
fell mournfully upon his prone form.

HER HUSBANDS TASTE.
Count Boni de Castellane is accredit-
ed with goWning his wife. He has taste
which would win him a position with
any couturiere of Paris. 8
Mrs. w. X. Vanderbilt. Jr., about
whom l spoke last week. wore a
charming gown at a morning given re-
Gently by one of the a~ll-the-year round
Paris colony. She is in a sort of half
mourning for the uncle of her nusoand,
a mourning which is a g%lorliued one from
the standpoint of the couturiere.
This gown of hers was of pastel law
beautiful hue. Ii was built with a
skirt with two ripples around the foot.
The Overdress was all in one piece
pointed around the bottom. 1t was
trimmed with bands of white satin
which were put on in such a way that
they formed a continuous line of trim
ming which extended from the neck to
the points of the overdress.
The oyerdress had a most beautiful
trimming.
Set between the points there were
very large medallions of white satin
which We're stitched upon the over
dress with narrow bands of the satin.
These medallions We're oval shaped and
We're so closely appliqued to the over
dress that they seemed woven in the ma
terial.
In the center of each medallion was a
lilac flower made out of pale purple silk
and caught on in a way which suggested
the natural flower. The collar was trim
med with the same.
This gown, the couturiere told me,
could be carried out in cachemire cloth.
The bands could be made of inexpensive
satin and the medallions of the same.
The artificial flowers are not high priced.
A lovely white cloth dress--no other
, word will describe twas worn recent
~ by an American woman of the Paris
winter colony. a guest of Mrs. William
Aston, who is keeping house here as US
ual in the winter.
CHERRY AND WHITE.
The dress about to be described as a
white dress was of pearl white, which
is the newest blue white. You might
love fancied it blue if you had not
been told that it was white. 1t was
ethereally white, delicate as a blue
pearl. Its charm lay in its plainness as
we'll as in it's hue. The skirt was plain
and round, opening at the side in a seam
which closed with invisible hooks and
pattern in the --LATEST Of white satin
bands, put on and pressed until they
sank into the cloth. These bands were
made Of satin ribbon with a fine finish
upon each edge. On each side Of the
ribbon trimming there We're the small
est steel beads which somehow ooked
very blue upon the dead white OF the
cloth.
The bodice had a very large empiece-
ment which covered the waist com
pletely. It was cuirass shape and fas-
tened from shoulder to shoulder and
at the belt line. 1t was profusely and
deliberately braided with white satin
ribbon on each side Of which there
We're the beads.
A note of color was supplied the gown

"a charming note-in the lining of the
cuffs and collar and in the belt. 1t was
of bright cherry red.
Mrs. Haig, she who was formerly Mrs.
Coleman-Drayton, is n of the most
elegantly gowned women in Europe.
She was in Paris not so long g pur-
chasing her winter gowns.
A house dress was of green crepe, a
shade of leaf green. 1t was trimmed in
a curious manner with black lace bands
put on over white satin. The white sat
in bands were sewed upon the waist so
var the middle of the back and made
the figure look a little simmer than the
large open squares generally do over
each band of white satin was appliqued
the handsomest and finest black lace.
There was a very shallow yoke of
white Liberty silk edged with lace.
SHOPPING IN PARIS.
Some idea of the elegancet of "a the
w of the season can be gathered
from the fact that they are not by any
means reception dresses, nor, of course.
are they dinner gowns. They are only
luncheon modes, dresses one puts on to
u out and take luncheon with a
friend, gowns one wears in which, to re-
ceive friends before the gas is lighted.
They do not sell cheap in Paris by any
means but cost just about the. same as
those in New York. 1t is all foolishness
this talk about picking up bargains in
Paris, things half the price of those at
home. The cost. everybody will tell you,
is the same in the average, though in
Paris you find newer and smarter
modes, modes hat are very useful in
telling you which way the wind of fash
ion is blowing. M
They are wearing ornaments in the
hair for day occasions. Formerly the
hair was dressed in it's own rich CLOS
siness depending for it's elegance upon
it's arrangement. Now they dress the
hair with bows and with wired loops
and ends. They use fancy pins, ban-
deaux of metal and any and all of the
evening arrangements except natural
flowers which are left for evening.
The Bradley-Martins run over occa-
%sionally to purchase gowns. They come
in a large party. always, Mrs. Bradley
Martin, sometimes Mrs. Carnegie, also.
Then there are young guests, and the
little Countess of Craven also is al
ways among the number They buy the
richest and smartest gowns and are fond
of the extreme modes.
The INT of Craven likes quiet
dresses but her mother will not always
allow her to exercise her own taste. The
countess is nov about twenty-five years
old, tiny as ever, more than girlish in her
slenderness n dresses in the new tones.
The last time she was over she wore a
dress of primrose pink cloth, over which
she buttoned an automobile cloak of nut
brown satin cloth with immense pearl
buttons. The automobile was lined with
pink satin and there vas pink satin in
the brown hat worn by the countess.
