circumstance. AS disastrous a mistake
as our government could make would
be to extend the Chinese exclusion act
to the Philippines. In those fertile is
lands there is as much rough work,
cutting. clearing, saving and planting,
as there was in the United States so
years ago. White men cannot do this
work; Filipinos will not White men

heavy tasks cheaply and thoroughly.
They only wait the chance Under
proper restrictions Chinese should be
admitted to all parts Of the Philippines.
Thousands Of them are already called
for as cooks, laborers and general serv
ants, but the military government feels
bound to deny them entrance to these
islands, where they cannot come in
competition with the white man be-
cause of the law that excludes them
from the states where they can.

New YORK, Sept. livery suddenly
I have discovered that the runic has
not been dead. but was only sleeping,
for the style is shown in hundreds of
varieties in the new fall gowns. They
are cut with vandyke points, scallops
of every size and in peplum form.
Many are also arranged in redingote
style, loose and open down the front.
Other skirts have tunics initiated upon
them in many ingenious and pretty
ways. One reason why they fell into
disfavor during the summer is that
they did not seem adapted to thin ma
terials, while ROW, as the heavier goods
are brought out, they find a place.
Black velvet and velvet of many other
coiors will be worn in dresses for the

but there have been found new ways
of trimming them so as to make them
virtually new. For instance. one is cut

diagonally, with two immense curved

collar and cuffs, are covered with a
pretty design in narrow braiding.
Around the whole jacket are lines of
black velvet ribbon supplemented with
