ceived great part of this at the time

other part in order that IL might be de-
voted TO the expenses OF the war
The empress dowager's last extrava-
gance has been on her tomb. She has
planned mausoleum which, with its
surroundings. is to cost something like
$40 .0p0,90 Many of the Chinese officials
considered this an extravagance, but they
did not dare 10 object. She has also
been collecting FUNDS for the restoration
of the summer palace, and undoubtedly
has great treasures stored up somewhere.
At the same time the old lady under
stands how TO play to the galleries Not
long ago when there was famine in
one part of her empire she had II pub
lished In the Picking Gazette that she
could not bear TO eat expensive viands
while the people were starving, and that
she had cut on her allowance OF fresh
pork for week.

RIBBONS TO BE PROMINENT.
This Authority Says Fan millinery
Is to he Decked Out In
Blight Colors.

1t is by no means an unimportant fea-
tnre of the latest creations that the
trimming often includes ribbons.
There is every probability that these
are about To take a signal revenge for
the neglect in which they have been
held throughout more than two sea-
sons. The ribbon manufacturers are
chiefly responsible for this reaction.
Their new productions. brought out for
late summer and autumn, are in all
ways admirable, and deserve patronage.
In the first rank stand the warp-printed
lowered ribbons, mostly shown in POM
padour and other delicate combinations
of color on white or very light grounds,
and edged with plain bands or else
fringed. Others, also with light
grounds, and printed in the same way,
with bouquets of field flowers and
whent ears, fruits, flowers or foliage
are interviewer with lines of black seor
ing the design lengthwise Plain rib
bons are sometimes divided inta bands
of two colors or shades, withA fringe
ON one or both edges. Those with mar
row bands of open work are in much
request. They are made in ribbons of
different textures-pongee, foulard,
fetas merveilleux-and are self colored.
In the lighter textures they have more
the appearance of bands of material
with fancy hemstitched borders than
ribbons.
A capeline exhibited is trimmed with
this sort of ribbon, which forms bow
in front of the crown and is then passed
through the straw over the ears and
tied under the chin. Black ribbon vel
vet is used for the trimming quilting
that surrounds the edges of the crown
and brim. This is in much request in
all widths, while other ribbons, plain
and figured, are shown only in me.
dium-wide and wide widths. AS in
the case of feathers, now and again
the brush comes into play, and plain OF
shaded ribbons are touched up with
body color. Milliners also (this work is
generally accomplished by them)
sketch out simple outline patterns on
the ribbon and then stitch down loulou
straw braids upon it. A special sort OF
pencil is provided for the purpose.
These complicated practices, however,
are seldom worth the time and trouble
devoted to them, which, of course, must
be reckoned at in the price of the hat.
After all, a handsome figured ribbon
gives usually far more satisfaction

consists entirely of meat, bluhber and

peary has this to say about these queer
little people: rs il to be wondered
at that under these circumstances a
mar offered me his dogs and sleds and
all his furs for piece of board as long

his wife and two children for shining

her possessions, which she had collect

all the game eaptured by hunter
