~ early models of what may be expect
ed in the summer Large pompons and
rosettes made up Of loops of ribbon are
also used as garnitures, and appear on
many misses and children hats. Paris
is using loops and wired ends of taffeta
and new mousseline ribbons, also many
gathered loops of folded ribbons on the
brims of trimmed sailor hats.
Ribbons are twisted with the fruit
and foliage on many of the, early
French pattern hats, and bands of rib
bons are laid III folds around the round
and square crowns of the new, bicycle
andgolf hats, both English and French.
Clusters and choux of ribbon with the
corded edge are used instead of the taf-
fetta silk and new models of large hats
for summer wear show clusters of rib
bon bows and long strings and ties.
But even this does not give thewhole
idea of the ribbon fad as it has seized
upon: Paris. One can, find any number
of the new ribbonwaists, fashioned en-
tirely of ribbon and insertion, that are
designed for summer wear. In color
many of these run to the popular col
ors of white and yellow-white inser-
tion and yellow ribbon or vice-versa.
I will give description and send
picture of one of these waists that have
so taken my fancy. It is made of yel-
low taffeta ribbon and white Valen-
ciennes insertion of about equal width.
The ribbon and insertion are used al
ternately in bands running up and
down from he shoulders to the waist
line, and fastened down the front with
friu of lace on each side of the ribbon,
and four butterfly ribbon knots. The
waist is finished with crushed ribbon
belt tied in a coquettish bow at one
side. The sleeves are made with alter
nate bands of the ribbon and inser-
tion running around the arm, and fin
ished with frill of lace falling over
the hand.
To illustrate the ways in which rib
bons are utilized as trimmings for
gowns will describe one that I have
seen recently: This gown was made Of
bluette foulard, and was trimmed with
great quantities of pale green ribbon.
The skirt of the gown has seven narrow

and wire grass. Inside this coast
zone, and extending for another half
mile or more inland, where a height
Of from 400 to 1900 feet is reached, one
may find such trees as the willow,
poplar, Scotch pine and bramble,
while the interior of the island, cov-
ering space of some three miles long
by two miles wide, is covered with the
most luxuriant of vegetation. It is in
this portion of the island that Ma
poleon lived while q prisoner on the
island, and it is here that Cronje will
probably be kept a prisoner.
On his deathbed Napoleon dictated
his final protest against the treat
ment he had received from England.
In that protest he said:
ION this inhospitable island you
have fixed my dwelling place on the
least habitable spot, that on which
the murderous tropical climate, is
most severely felt"
Napoleon may have suffered severe
~ from the climatic conditions of St.
Helena, but the reputation which his
protest has given the island climate
is hardly deserved. Large numbers of
Europeans visit the Madeira and Ca
nary Enthusiastically for the benefit
Of their health, and these are much
nearer the. dreaded West African
coast than il st. Helena.
IN commenting upon the advan-
.ages to be gained by the laying Of
cable between St. Helena and Eng
land Rob. P. Pooley, the United States
consul at jamestown, St. Helena, says:
1.-THE cable will also doubtless be a
strong incentive to invalids to take
advantage of the delightful climate.

farmer' Yet the fact re-
mains that New York would easily alb
sorb safe Investment of many mil
lions, without incentives of patriotism,
at an interest of but little over two per
cent.
In a word, money is plenty and cheap:
Government bonds, it is we'll known,
pay just about two per cent, taking
into account the length of time they
have to run; but this is in part due to
the fact that they are in demand by ma
tional banks as security for note is
sues. 1t is of record that New York city
bonds were once sold at rate equiva-
lent to 2H per cent. This was hailed
as triumph for city management. OF
course, it was nothing of the sort, but
an instance of surplus capital seeking
an outlet.
Money has long been plenty on good
real estate security at four and AZ
per cent. Here is stranger thing:
Farm mortgages, which have been in
the past considered risky, are easily
placed at five per cent. Executors and
Others having money to place are driv-
en- to advertise the fact, and are cutting
rates to get chances to put it out. Out
of all this the poor borrower is get
ting the benefit. New York farms are
selling at higher rates than they were
ten years ago. The very fever of spec
ulation that has had such disastrous
results has driven the capital of eau
tious people into investment channels.

strength and nourishment, in 4 small

The reason for this is that there are
