SPHERES OF INFL UENCE.

Now it appears likely that Great Brit
ain and Russia have agreed between
themselves with regard to their respec-
tive commercial interests in China, and
have harmonized as to their programme
there. This important matter has been
hanging over the peace of Europe for
some time, and as the papers say re-
garding the Coghlan incident, l''it is now
closed" if the reports on the subject
are correct. While England and Rus
STA have been automatically settling
this great eastern question of theirs,
doubts have been expressed as to the
position of the United States, which re-
fused to have "a finger in the pie" or
be a party to the issue, and has big
commercial interests at stake, This ma
ton asks for only equality of treatment
as regards foreign trade and granted
that will have no difficulty in finding
market in the Orient for its manufac-
tured wares and agricultural products,
especially now that it has the Philip
pines for center of distribution. This
country can no longer remain isolated
as regards old world affairs, and has
now to figure with both England and
Russia as to the reformation of the adj
ministration of affairs at Picking and
the gaining of concessions of import
ance to our trade and commerce. The
eastern question is rapidly looming up
into great Importance as regards the
development of our commerce and much
remains to be done to secure for our
country a fair share of the commercial
pickings in the East,-a share which
would have been ours had England S
'open-door" project prevailed.

ness and develop novelties as the shirt
waist season approaches. With the Sc
we're shirt nothing can be admitted to
beltdom that does not fasten with
buckle of some degree of severity. An
inch wide strap of patent leather fast
ened on one end of a ribbon belt, the
other end drawn through the ring, the
belt pulled to the desired tightness and
then the ribbon is caught firmly on the
spikes, the end being left free. Inch
wide black velvet caught in a small
oval cut steel buckle is pretty, and may
on a pinch be worn with a severe shirt
waist if the skirt is not quite severe.
Very wide Roman sash ribbon drawn
into a tiny jewelled buckle of elaborate
workmanship Is still tasteful for the
fancy waist
For an outing flannel shirt Of gray
or red, stocky dog collar belt. with
heavy buckling and rings, is the right
thing, unless a business-llke clasp is
set on a belt of the shirt material.
Tiny crystal beads strung on elastic
make inch-aud-a -half belts of great
brillancy, and are secured with crys-
tai buckle. Be careful not to get such
a belt too small, or when stretched the
beads will be so far apart as to spoil
the appearance. Steel, jet and pearl
beads are used in this way. Such
belt can be pinned down at the back,
which is a great advantage. Other
belts must be equipped with hooks on
the wrong side, and adjusting the hooks
is often difficult. FLORETTE.
