reaching barely to t he waist. For men
1t is more like a coat. This completes the

Inc Slamese are a lazy people. Their
motto is: Never u if you can walk.
never walk if you can stand. never stand
if you can sit, never sit if you can lie
down. and they practice it at rery OPP
~portunlty. They sleep at Any time of the
day and do not like to be disturbed, as
they believe the spirit leaves the body
when asleep.
"Their houses are Il d and usually built
OF bamboo on high poles. in order to get
away from t he malarial g round. Float
ing houses on the river or canals are the
other kind. built on a p%ontoon and moor
ed to the shore. Usually the house con-
slsEs OF a living room, a sleeping room
and Il cook room. The furniture is simple
and looks like doll furniture TO us, as
their time is spent on the floor, and the
cabinets or cupboards cannot be made
very high. No chairs are used, the fam
lily sitting on the floor. They sleep on
mats or thin mattresses.
In the cook room there is a box of
ashes, on which are laid a few sticks,
which are set on fire, and the rice put
Oh them to boil. On the glowing en-
bers ~bananas vegetables or fish are
roasted. and thus are cooked the two
daily meals, one at . o'clock in the morn
ing and one at 5 in t he evening.
The men eat first. t he rice being pour
ed into a big bowl. from which each helps
himself in a similar bowl, and from that
eats with his fingers to convey the food to
his mouth. There is no talking during
the meal. Then the women OFT and all

Women in Siam are considered infer
ior and are the slaves of their husbands.
The husband pays SO much for his wife,
usually through a gO-betWeen. Some
times the young people run away to get
married. In hat case the husband offers
the supposed value of his wife to her
parents. If the money is refused a sec
ond and third offer is made. and if these
are refused the girl belongs to him with
out price, but the third offer is rarely re-
fused. sometimes the pay is in cattle
butfaloes-when money is Scarce. The
men have a saying that a wife is not good
until she has had her first beating, so
this comes soon after marriage. But he

All The Modes Of New FQlS IN Paris
MISS GOODWIN PICTURES THE HAN DsoME SABLE CAPEs WITH TALL
EFFECT IN MINK.

Paris, Oct. 5.-The new furs are posi-
lively exquisite in the laboratories of
their detail. For conventional dress there
is still the long plain fur coat, but for
those who prefer French style, or who
seek the mild day furs there are dozens
of pretty modes from which to choose.
The bolero is seen in furs trimmed with
garniture royale and with ruchesses of
chiffon. 1t is cut fancifully and is very
becoming to the figure worn over a cloth
or silk dress. Silk and furs are not har-
monious combinations, yet you see them;
and rather pretty they are.
| have in mind as l write a gown Of
black satin trimmed with long diagonal
bands of Russian red braid. 1t is cut ha-
bit back and with the princess effect,
quite hugging the figure.
The outside garment is a tiny coat
of silver fox with Russian lace embedded
in the front. Tn lace is of the royale
description. tiny threads of silver and
gold being interviewer. There are also
small bits of turquoise and sapphire just
to give a blush tinge to the garniture. 1t
is an exquisite piece of work.
The bOlero is cut scalloped as to the
lapels. which form a plastron terminating
in a Medici collar which is very tall and
hugs the head.
The muff is of silver fox with a deep
ruching of black satin put on in very
large scallops.
The hat is a very decorative and ele-
giant affair in black satin and silver fox
with the top made higher and broader
with spreading plumes put on as Princes
feathers.
The garniture royale before referred to
is made from a coarse but expensive lace
of the Veuxeiul variety. Its mesh is
rather small but the threads are very
heavy and durable. Into this is woven
the gems and metals of all descriptions,
including gunmetal, oXidized gold and
silver. bronze and all other ornamental
metals. With these are distributed the
mock gems of every description includ-
ing Brazil brilliants n African quartz
both of the latter being new this season.
The Brazil brilliants are yellow and very
bright, specially when we'll cut; and the
African quartz are gray and very scintil-
lating.
In Russia and in France they make
a fine art of lace decoration, and, in
purchasing the piece of lace, you pur-
chase the name Of the designer. A gar
niture royale, the work of Villamil,
brings a high price. This, too, affords a
fine field for the girl artist in Paris who
is employed upon the harmonious selec-
ton of colors.
Even mink, that stiffest of furs, is
treated fashionably. A Marie Antoin-
nette effect is produced by cutting a cape
en- basque n edging it with a deep rip
pie of the fur. At the waist there are
long floating stole end of mink to which
are attached small tails.
Heads and tails are used upon capes
n muffs, even more profusely than last
winter and you see a head guarding
three tails upon many of the muffs while
heads secure the cape also.
The Marie Antoinette in fur is very
pretty and is relieved by tiny squares of

You see mink lined with shell pink
which contrasts very we'll with it, SO
much so. that there is a pink which is
known as mink pink, being a very soft
pretty pink used almost exclusively for
lining the Medici collar and the ripple and
the ends of the mink furs.
Mini muffS are round and finished with
heads and tails. also lined with soft pink.
There is a new muff which opens to
disclose a shopping bag. 1t is round yet
there is room between the furry outside
and the lining for the purse and handker-
chief and such small articles as need be
carried.
A hat of mink is something of a nov
city. The crown is composed of bands of
mink sewed upon pink satin which is
then folded so that the bands of mink
stand upright. lined apparently by the
pink satin. A very large brass buckle set
with mock diamonds may complete the
hat which looks something like a oque.
or it may be finished with a very large
gray breast of a big gray bird.
They are combining two kinds of fur
considerably. Russian sable and chin
chilla make a good contrast. The
black of the sable with its thick. upright
fur makes a fine contrast to t he soft cur
ly chinchilla. Moreover the chinchilla is

desirable to finish out what would other

A cape pattern is cut pointed front and
back in Eugene shape. the shape which
was popular twenty-five years ago when
they wore it all in mink. The front is
finished with the inevitable tails n

The chinchilla collar is the highest

PENNY TRADE IN CANDY.

New York Special Chicago Tribune:
The price of candy has been increased.
What the technical man calls the penny
trade is threatened with extinction. In
stead OF getting four or five big pieces
or candy for a penny the purchasers will
receive hereafter only two or three pieces
and they won't be big either. This ter
rible news was promulgated today by the
New York and New Jersey Confection-
-ry association, Il concern that mas no
especial sympathy with but
bases its deeds upon market prices.
This increase in tariff" the associa-
ton affecting. as it does,
~gumdrops, chocolate drops and old-fasr-
Toned molasses candy. is due to an in
crease in the market alu of sugar and
other material"
The association is composed Of wholk-
sale dealers, through whose hands passes
nearly all the candy sold in these parts.
The greatest change occurs in
goods, and is due to a large increase in
the srice OF the raw material. There
viii be no change in the price Of candy
retailing at 81 or more per pound.

CURIOUS

Baltimore Sun: Mrs. r. Hayward Hays
made an address last night at Aisquith
street Presbyterian church IN Siam and
the customs of the SiameSe, among Witch
people she has lived many years. Mrs.
Hays went to Siam as a missionary and
there married DR.. II. Hayward Hays, who
studied medicine in Baltimore and then
won't to Siam. where he is now the physi-
clan to the king and the founder of a
medical college. They returned to Amer
lea on a visit last February and came to
Baltimore early in the month to visit Old
friends in this city. In "A few weeks they
will return to their home in Siam.
The Siamese nave many of the Malay
characteristics said Mrs. Hays and re-
semble the japanese in appearance. ex-
cept that they have round, black eyes in
stead of %slanting ones. They wear their
hair short and freely oiled, a coarse comb
being used to draw through it until the
hairs stand up from the head in a sort of
pompadour. In children the hair is al
lowed to grow long in a round spot on the
top of the head and is then coiled up with
a pin stuck through it.
"A habit of the natives, which is dis
gushing to Europeans or Americans, is
that of chewing betel. They do this to
make their teeth black, and the women
generally chew more than the men as the
latter smoke at times. They say that any
dog may have white teeth, but black teeth
are more desirable for people.
THE Siamese dress simply, men and
voinen wearing similar garments. Every
body wears the waistcloth, even the king,
except when he is in uniform as admiral
of the navy"
Mrs. Hays interrupted her address to
produce a Waistcloth and fasten it upon
DR.. Hays to show how it is worn. The
garment is a single strip of mixed cotton
and silk about three yards long. a yard
wide and having red bordered ends. 1t has
no buttons, nor hooks nor eyes, nor fast
ening of any kind, but is put on by hang
ing it around the waist and catching it
in front by a simple knot formed from
portions of the edges. The loose end is
then rolled and passed between he legs.
to be drawn up behind. and the extreme
end tucked beneath the first fold at the
waist. The second garment. an orange
colored scarf, is worn by a man. thrown
around his neck, or by a woman by pass
ing it around the body beneath the arm
pits and throwing the loose end over the
shoulder. Jackets are worn by some of
the natives from choice, and the Euro
peans compel their servants to adopt
them. For women the jacket is a tight

Whitelaw Reid gets into the frs;
number of Lady Randolph Churchils
aristocratic $5-a-copy Anglo Saxon Re
view, with an article explaining why
the United States agreed to pay $2G,-
100000 for the Philippines, but would
allow nothing for Cuba. He asserts
that we had "a right to the Philip
pines as indemnity if not by actual
conquest" and the money was grant
ed in no sense as compensation but
merely in recognition of the principle
that debts attaching to a territory
and incurred for its benefit should be
transferred with it." Inasmuch as the
United States acquired no sovereignty
over Cuba, the principle had no ap-
plcation to that case. AS Mr.. Reid was
one of the Paris commissioners, his
version of the negotiations may be
accepted as authentic. The principle is
not new. but few nations have ever
observed it when dealing with the con-
quered.

There has been gratifying increase
of exports to our newly acquired pos
sessions during the past twelve months
AS the treasury year ends June &c. the
returns are already sufficient to indi-
cate the total with a fair degree of ac-
curacy. Taking Cuba, Porto Rico, Ha-
wall and the Philippines together, the
gross exports, exclusive of supplies sent
to our armies and gratuities for the ma
tives, have risen from $17,OOOOOo to $780,
900, 000 For the ten months ending APP
ril last, our exports to Cuba increased
50 per cent; to Porto Rico, SO per cent;
to Hawaii, So per cent. Meanwhile We
have been sending to the Philippines
three times as much as in any previous
period of corresponding length. Of
course the transition from war to peace
will account for some portion of the
Cuban increase, but not ALL in view Of
the general squirt of American COM
merce. The gross amounts thus far
sent to the dependencies are not large
in any case, but the notable increase IS
of real significance.
