Spain has ceased to rule. Her once

Of magazine and newspaper articles
called forth by the war have discussed
these causes as IL they we're alone
responsible. 1t is natural that they
should be most prominent, because they
were the ip mediate causes and affected
the United States directly. But the
underlying causes OF the war Are as old
az the United States itself, and have
been steadily working towards the
results achieved in the battles Of Manila
and Santiago for several centuries. In

Empire House Gowns.

A magnificent trousseau which l had
the good fortune to view few days
before it was sent out Of town includ-
ed three charming house gowns made
in empire fashion. I particularly liked
one of these empire gowns made of
cashmere and panne velvet. The cash
mere, which was of a delicate green,
almost the color OF pure olive oil, was
used for the undergown, which fell
in straight lines from the bust. There
was no fullness in front or under the
arms, the cores giving the slightest
fare-a flare hardly perceptible, how
ever, about the feet. The yoke was
fitted perfectly across the bust, and
the line where it joined the skirt was
concealed by lace applique closely
studded with dull green beads. A SIM
liar embroidery was scattered over the
entire front of the skirt, fern front
being used as the motif About the
foot of the skirt ran three narrow
ruff1es of olive green satin curving up
to point on the left side. An over
dress of olive green panne velvet was
designed to be worn over the empire
undergown. This overdress was a
fac-simile of the court robes worn in
the days of the first Napoleon. 1t fell
away from the shoulders and revealed
the entire front of the undergown. The
robe was also heavily embroidered in
a trailing design of fern fronds ap-
pliqued in lace and heavily beaded. An
empire gown similarly made was Of
white silk and brocade, the brocade
forming the overdress. sash of mus
lin de sole was tied high under the
arms, passing beneath the overdress at
the back and falling to the hem OF the
skirt in front. The ends of this were
appliqued in point lace.

A Fancy Neck Trimming.

A rufIle or trimming of lace about
the neck heightens the charm OF
woman's beauty in way which can
not be equaled even by chiffon. Lace

chiffon does not, gives the face the ef-
