EXCHANGE OF ISLANDS.

Some time ago dispatch was sent
out from Washington to the New York
Herald in relation to a plan to trade
the Philippines to England for the
British possessions in the West Indies.
Immediately after its publication the
story was contradicted by Washing
ton officials. Then the Herald was ac-
cused of manufacturing the telegram
out of whole cloth. And, to all appear
ances, the incident closed.
But the original suggestion came
from London. Two British statesmen
were reported to be discussing the
Philippine question. One expressed the
belief that the archipelago was too
far from the United States to make
it's management easy. The other
wondered if 1.-THE Americans would
trade off the Philippines for the British
West Indies
That" said the first speaker, "has
been Mr. Chamberlain's plan from the
outset, and he has been eager to drive
a bargain with President Mckinley for
an exchange of territory
The London correspondent of the
New York Tribune writing under date
of Jan. 2S, repeated these expressions
and added:
THE same suggestion 1 have heard
many times during the last six months
and invariably it is described as Mr.
Chamberlains plan. ] do not myself be
lieve that either he or any other member
of the government has ever committed
himself to this policy of barter; but the
fact that the rumor is constantly repeated
by well-informed Englishmen Is not with
out significance At least it indicates that
a good many imperialists would be willing
to consider an offer for exchange of terri
tories as a practical matter OF business
And why wouldn't an even exchange
be advantageous all around? Great
Britain is already in the Orient. 1t
is her continent. 1t is the theatre of
European broils. 1t will continue to
be for many years The United States
has no business to get mixed up in
these wars and struggles of conquest.
1t is not in our line to rule over sub
jects." We can not consistently hold
the Filipinos under military control.
Neither can we trust them, it seems
If the islands were turned over to the
present insurgents the great bulk of
the natives would refuse to recognize
such a government and there would be
endless and countless civil wars.
As a matter of fact the United States
government lacks experience as a COL

Theatre Dinner For Clever Potter
New York Worldly

There is almost craze for these the
atre parties just now. Some of them
are preceded by elaborate dinners and
others are followed by dainty suppers.
Miss Hall gave a dinner at Delmonico's
to precede the theatre party already re-
ferred to, and this was in honor of Miss
Anne Urquhart Potter. daughter Of
James Brown Potter and Cora Urqu

Pretty Covers For Asbestos Mats.
New York Evening Post.)

Covers for asbestos mats may be
made of white or cream-coloved sateen.
An outline design in wash silk can or
nament them. The mats are easily
slipped out when the covers are to b.
laundried. Another and perhaps more
tasteful way to conceal the necessary
asbestos mats is to slip them under the
service doilies, A set of these mats is
best provided from the sheets of as
bestos. From these may be cut round
ones for the covers and oblongs to 20
under platters and vegetable dishes. No
housekeeping genius has yet devisek an
ornamental set of mats.

Trimming the Lamp Shades Again.
l. ni,,rr Il

Lamp shades, according to the best
authorities, are once more to be
trimmed. The plain Empire shade is
still popular, but there is u very de-
c:ded tendency towards lace, beaded
and oDen-work effects The ruffles of
tulle or pinked silk with which we used
to be familiar are happily not again in
evidence. the favorite design of the mo-
nient being close plaitings flaring at IN
tervals. The very fluffy lamp shades
of a few years ago were too easily ig-
nited to make their return welcome,
particularly at this time, when the ma
tural horror of fire is intensified by
recent dreadful examples.

odds and Ends of Fashion That
Are seen In Fall
Costumes.

/
Wine color is much talked Of for fall
and winter use. With the velvet hats,
birds or flowers of peculiar light shade
Of red are seen. Occasionally a dark
wine-colored felt hat appears trimmed
with velvet of the same shade, and the
wine color appears as trimming for
some Of the outing hats. The big and
broad turbans of fur and feathers are
much seen, and are large and solid
looking. The fur or the feathers go
around the sides, the middle being of
velvet. Whole birds are seen on these
hats, and gorgeous parrot makes a
conspicuous toque. Some English girls
are wearing becoming hats of pale blue
felt, which set off their bright COM
plexions delightfully."- as they are in
tensified with black trimmings. A hat
made for an American has the rim of
black velvet, soft, pale blue felt crown,
striped with black velvet and a black
bird at the side.
The most charming things are con-
stantly appearing in gun metal. 1t is
metal that men particularly like for
their own belongings. A jewel in the
clasp of an article of gun metal may not
be altogether appropriate, but it is at
tractive.
There is talk sometimes of the pass
ing of blossoms for weddings, but they
have too many traditions clinging
around them to cease to be used, and
long sprays Of them will be used at
many fall weddings. The ever-present
guimpe is to be seen in many wedding
gowns and lace sleeves in several in
stances. Some of the gowns are elab-
crate, but a wedding gown Of severely
simple design is always pleasing. The
girl who feels that the wedding service
is a solemn rite likes to put some of
that feeling into the cut of her frock.
In one of the surface cars one day
last week was well-dressed man wear
ing what may have been a Fedora hat,
but with the rim somewhat wider than
usual, while around the crown was
some white material laid in even folds
and one end put under the other at the
left side. 1t was an unusual hat for
man, and particularly noticeable, for
next to The man sat woman with
regular Fedora hat of the same color,
gray, with the regulation black band.
1t looked as if the two had exchanged
hats.
Women who like fine felt and Sc
verely masculine style go directly to
the mems shops and get a small-sized
mans hat, with which they take a great
deal of comfort. These fine felts are
practically indestructible, can be rolled
and tumbled and come out looking as
good as new.
Long coats reaching TO the knees,
with large hoods, are made of satin and
trimmed with stitched bands of cloth in
patterns. They make beautiful wraps
for elderly women. A long circular
wrap Of black cloth is outlined with a
fold Of white silk braid and has simu-
lated yoke made Of rows of folded braid
stitched closely together.
Some of the sleeves to the gowns with
the sheathed skirts are SO snug that
they button from the wrist nearly 10
the elbow.-N. Y. Sun.
