WASHINGTON, March 20. = Consul
General Deleon, at Guayaquil, reports
to the state department that the change
BY the world to gold basis has finally
driven Ecuador to adopt the same
course. congress having just enacted n
2 law which within two years. he says,
VIII place the monetary system on a
gold basis. Ecuador has heretofore
been upon so-called bl-metallic, but
practically monometallic, silver basis
no gold in circulation and her silver
irredeemable. The circulation of the
country. he says, was and Is almost
altogether paper money issued by the
banks and redeemable in silver only.
The effect of the present law, he says,
will be to put Ecuador on a gold basis,
and while paper money Will continue to
be the money in circulation 1t will be
redeemable In gold and not In silver,
as at present. The condor, which may
4 be- regarded us the unit OF value. will
be practically OF the same metallic
value as the pound sterling and the
silver sucre will possess an actual value
OF about 1856 cents In American gold.
ten OF them being equal to one condor.
Exchange on New York has been ar
bitrarily fixed by banks and merchants
during the last ten months at los to
Z los, but this rate has NOT been strictly
adhered TO; ITO and more has been paid.
The consul general says that another
!; anomaly has been that American gold
has been worth from 10 to Is cents more
\ than exchange. The stable condition
OF Ecuadortan currency, the financial
resources OF the banks Of Issue, which.
the consul general says, are relatively
as solid as any In the world, and the
crying need for q fixed monetary STAN
5 dard, he says, seem to give assurance
that the present measure Is wise.
Conditions hitherto existing have been
most favorable to the wealthy cocoa,
coffee and sugar planters, who sold
their products for gold and paid In sill
yer for all they bought In Ecuador,
notably for labor, which has been the
chief sufferer. Wages, low at best,
have been lower still since payable in o
deprecated currency.
The law recently enacted, the consul
general says. is expected to be thor
oughly adequate to the needs OF the
country. Mr.. Deleon adds that after
thorough consideration the mercantile
interests came to the conclusion thu |
the only remedy for the unsatisfactory
state OF affairs which has prevailed for
the past five years was the adoption
OF the gold standard at the rate Of BOG

Latin America to adopt the gold stan
dard. Venezuela. Costa Rica and Peru
having already taken the step. Brazil,
Uruguay and Chile, while nominally
on q gold basis, the consul general says.
are really subject to the disadvantages
of paper money, because their fnterna-
tional financial condition precludes an
easy conversion OF the currency.

HOW TO GROW PLUMP.

1t is all very well to talk about laughing
and growing fat; there is, however, a
stage Of fairness against which human ma
ture rebels, for neither man nor woman
wishes to rival Falstaff in flesh. The
oVerstout person IS one Of the most I'M
comfortable individuals whom it is ones
lot to meet, and much flesh does not neces-
sartly indicate robust health, for people
VINO are too stout are Just as easily tired
out, just as often I'll and just as frequently
inyalids as the individuals with too little
flesh.
The woman who wishes to put tissue
on her frame should drink plenty Of milk
and buttermilk and eat cereals whose ten
dency is to make tissue. To eat plenty of
bread IS for that reason good for the STEM
der one. The food should be masticated
Well To drink water while eating helps
the digestion Of the food Plenty of sleep
is sovereign remedy for loss Of flesh
the victim of insomnia is almost always
thin. 1t is good plan TO take a nap Of an
hour in the afternoon Go to bed early
and do not get up until O'Clock in the
morning. Food which is easily digested
should be preferred
Those foods which the stout person ia
obliged TO avoid owing to their tendency to
make flesh are for that reason useful to
the thin person.

answers. and soon she had various clients,
who again recommended her to their
friends till now she has her time fully and
remuneratively occupied.
Another lady-this time quite young
girl-reads, writes, shops and mends by tha
hour for invalids, and she enjoys her work.
People who want a little help and do not
care to employ a resident companion are
glad of her services. and she finds that she
can serve two or three different customers
and yet have her evenings to herself.
Another girl who has neat fingers, makes
specially of china mending. She has
learned The art of riveting, but perhaps
her strongest point is the cementing to-
gether of antique china and the replacing
of missing chips with putty. which she
cleyeriy paints over in such a manner that
unless one looks very closely one can
hardly detect a flaw She understands the
art of china painting, too and sometimes
exercises it to replace a cup or q. plats
belonging to an otherwise perfect set which
is now not to be had at any factory,
Another lady, who happens TO have .

for which she has little use, conceived the

Redingotes are in such favor that
even skirts and bodices of one material
are made to look as if they were red
ingotes.

paraphrased in military circles, and
now it is make way for the pill box

is freaky, not to say grotesque, but at
that it strengthens the opinion Of
close observer that the aim of the ultra
smart is to have everything intensely
neat and to do away with superiority
of all kinds. Simplicity is the highest
form of artistic dressing, though the
road to it nowadays leads through
fields of dollars. There is still a ten
dency to tip toques little on one side,
though some bend over the forehead
and others are turned up saucily in
front.
Tbs large cape line is destined soon
to supercede the sailor hat 1t is much
more becoming and much more dTessy.
1t is made chiefly in black, white or
gray felt or in colored velvet. and it
has very wide brim which bends very
low over the face in front and even
lower at the back over the neck. The
brim is raised on each side. forming
quite an arch. under which black or
colored velvet bows are massed. The
front of the brim is covered with feath-
ers or velvet bows. and the crown is
equally covered with them, and, con-
sequently, is not seen. This shape is
a great rival of the directoire and is
daily becoming more popular. especial
ly with young people.
There is a perceptible tendency to-
ward rather brilliant headgear. Grebe

materials are ribbed, like pique, and
are called pique de laine when Of a
wooden texture and pique de sole when
of silky texture. The ribs of these
piques are very tiny or large, which
ever the wearer may prefer. They
might as well be called poplin, for
they look like poplin as much as they
do like pique.
Wooden sateen is another revival; it
is plain, brocaded, spotted and striped.
The brocades are designed in ara

being watered with sprinkling can.
Some wooden sateens are perforated and
are lined with another color to simulate

Entire fur dresses are also worn, but
the fur for these is worked in par

CALENDARS, CARDS AND BOOKLETS
FOR CHRISTMAS PRESENTS.

and are much the same in general ap-
pearance.
Those with the drop covers consist
of a number of cards so arranged on
ribbons that they may be lowered to
give simultaneous view OF all the
cards at once. A Japanese woman
holds in each hand a row of lanterns,
and bird suspends garlands from its
bill or the drops may be mere orna-
mental pansies of fanciful figures A
row of jolly faced COLLINS on the limb
of tree or birds perched in a row are
much admired effects.
A calendar which will be welcomed
by the busy man is what is called the
commercial. 1t is handsome in appear
ance, for it is mistake to imagine
that men are lacking in appreciation
of the artistic. Tabulated sets of slips
record the days as they slip by. The
month and day of the week are print
ed in black, while the day of the month
is in red ink. No quotations adorn the
!" calendar. Instead black lines are left
for use in recording memoranda.
The photograph calendar is not novel
in idea. Some new forms of it are to
be seen in the shops. The space for
the photograph is left vacant unless
the giyer places therein his or her
own photograph.
Art calendars of the more expensive
sort are made of satin richly painted
with flowers and shepherds and shep-
herdesses and sheep such as never
grazed anywhere save in an artists
brain. These creations are delicately
scented with sachet powders and are
conceded to be of the superfine quality.
The little holiday booklets which
have enjoyed fluctuating popularity
for several seasons are nearly all of
the semi-religious type. Hymns and
poems of more or less sentimental
character are illustrated in colors, and
some of the results are so charming
that one wonders that the books can
be sold so cheaply.
Christmas cards seem to be as hand
some as usual and in as great variety.
They range in price from cents to
s25 and vary from simple Autographed
cards to those which are hand painted
in water colors on silk, satin, celluloid
or water color paper and trimmed with
lace and ribbon.
After all the very incest Christmas
card, If one can afford it and is near
enough to the one to be remembered
for the contents, is box of flowers
with the card Of the giver. But at
Christmas time when florists are
naughty and prices are high, it is out
of the question for folks in moderate
circumstances to go about adjoining
the boudoirs of their friends with fresh
blossoms. ETHEL KNOX.
