oroldery done IN thread which the
American women have admired so
much Is not in the mode. The proper
stun is of open weaving, with the en-
broldery made in colored silks and
narrow ribbon, in flower aud butterfly
designs. Alarming plaids and stripes
are the proper things in gingham
skirts; silk is used. but satin prevails
for more elegant ones, with embroid-
cry OF gold thread and cOlored silks.
The most elaborate work is spread
over the train of the skirt Slippers
are soles with little toe piece of satin
on velvet. The most dressy ones for
dances have high heels, but ordinary
ones are flat. Only the most fastidious
wear stockings and almost none attempt
hats. Smoking is good form for ma
tive women as well as men ON the
Luneta, at balls, musicales or any
where.
Spanish houses prevail for all the
better classes of residents. The great
broad halls have great flights of stairs

Before the last iusurrection Of Span
ish times, about the year 1896, Manila
was considered the most attractive
for ITS social life of all the cities of the
far east. Even Shanghai, "the Paris
'ot the cast, as it is called, was not so
gay. With tennis and golf, horse
bacl, riding, rowing aud sailing. there
was NO laci. OF sport With concerts
and drives on the Luueta, the pony
races at Santa Mesa, where the gentle
men rode, dances at the handsome
English club and at the Hotel Oriente
and receptions on the Spanish men-of-
war, there wnH n diversity in 0~fa1
events, added TO the smaller happen
ings, which must have made the life
Interesting and charming. The fasci-
mating gardens of palms and bamboo,
the very blue sea and the deep cerulean
sky above the purple mountains, the
gorgeous red and tawny yellow sun
sets, the brilliant stars and the en-
chanting white light of the tropical
moon are there for setting to all
social functions the year round. The
effect of the wars has been to quiet all
this gayety, but one can foreseo that
peace viii bring back the festivity of
old Spanish days, perhaps with a
strong mixture of American ideas of
social amusement.

NOT WORK, BUT WORRY.

II is not the work, but the worry,
That wrinkles the smooth. fair face.
Ibat blends gray hairs with the dusky,
And robs the form of its grace;
Ihht dims the lustre and sparkle
or eyes that were once so bright,
But now are heavy aud troubled.
with weary, respondent light.
1t IS not the work but the worry,
That drives all sleep away,
AS we toss and turn and wonder
About the cares of the day.
DO we think OF the hands hard labor,
Or the steps of the tired feet.
an! no, but we plan and ponder
How to make both ends meet.

1t IS not the work. but the worry,
Ihat makes US sober aud sad.
InAt makes US marrow and sordiI,
When we should be CHEEKY and glad
There's shadow before the sunlight,
Aud ever cloud in the blue.
Tie scent OF the roses is tainted
The notes Of the song arc untrue.
1t IS not the WORK, but the worry,
That makes the world grow old.
Ihat numbers the years OF its children
Ere half their story is told;
That weakens their faith in heaven
Aud the wisdom OF Gods great plan.
Al! It's not the work, but Ihe worry,
That breaks the heart OF man.

PURPOSES Achieved.
The Ministers and Legationers Are
Rescued From Pekin.
TROOPS TO REMAIN.
The United States VIII Adhere 10 Its
Purposes In China As Laid Down
by Secretary Hays Note 10
Chinese Government.

Washington. Aug. IS. - With the
armies at Pekin aud the legationers res.
cued. IL can b. stated that the American
administration considers that one Of It's
most essential purposes has been
achieved. aud IL now remains only 20
carry out with answering fidelity the
purposes already clearly defined by this
government. Although these purposes
were made known some weeks ago in
Secretary Hays note Of July. they now
assume special Importance in the light
Of the work 10 be taken up Four dis.
tinct purposes were laid down in this
declaration. viz:
"The purpose Of the president is, as
heretofore. 20 act concurrently with the
other powers. first in opening up COM
munication with Pckin and rescuing the
American officials missionaries and
other Americans who are in danger.
Secondly. in aiIording all possible
protection everywhere in China 20
American life and property. Thirdly,
in guarding and protecting all legiti.
innate American interests, and fourthly,
in aiding 10 prevent the spread Of dis
orders TO other provinces Of the empire
and a recurrence Of such disasters.
II can b. stated authoritatively that
the foregoing declarations stand exactly
as they did on the day theywere enunciat-
ed. The government considers the first
purposes enumerated, namely, Opening
mp Of communications with Pekin and
rescuing the American officials, mission.
aries and other Americans who are in
danger, now achieved There may be-
details Of this rescue still "a b. carried
out, but no doubt is entertained that the
rescue will be accomplished.
That leaves three remaining purposes
set forth still 10 be- carried out, and these
are chiefly in the line Of restoring order,
'quiet and security TO the disturbed
country"
The intention Of this government as
10 the withdrawal of troops from China
cannot be stated at this time and any
statement bearing ON this point is con.
jcctural The fact is, the military sit.
uation at Pekin is yet to be- clearly de.
veloped by adyioes from those on the
ground. What course is TO be- adopted
concerning the troops will depend largely
upon these adyices and upon the eNigen.
cies Of the situation.
II is stated that there can be no i'm.
mediate withdrawal Of troops that have
been operating in China, at least 10 the
extent Of giving them an opportunity
10 rest aud recuperate. Fresh forces
will guard the line Of communication
between Pekn aud the seacoast Until
information is received from Minister
Cougcr and General Chaifee no definite
steps will be- taken in the negotiations
for carrying out the purposes Of this
government in China Il will depend
upon adviccs from these officials as 20
where and when such negotiations will
lake place.
