ticular. They are just the style OF
hats that every woman, whether she
be French, English, American, glories
in.
Billowy clouds of tulle and chiffon,
posed and swathed one upon another,
supported only by a few wires, con-
struct many of the toques; a few
MOWERS or a buckle, mounted on and
concealing a velvet bandeau, throw
the shape up at the left side. Per-
haps the wires are so bent as to give
the aureole effect to the light clouds
OF chiffon posed above the brow; and
few flowers may be laid fatty on
the middle of the back, indicating
what may be called the crown, though
1t is not really in any other respect
distinct from the brim. This serves
as general description of many of
the best specimens of millinery of the
moment: assign the tones OF the
fragile fabric and the harmonizinp
blossoms as you choose. These look,
when fresh from their makers hands,
as If they had grown of themselves;
no crumples, no vestiges of stitching
are semitic rose of the garden
blooms not more free"
Then there are the shapes In erin
oline, bent about so lightly and care
IessIy, with their chiffon-lined brims
and their twists of tulle and their
wreaths OF flowers that appear
dropped SO carelessly, yet are so ex-
actly where they ought to be found
for the general effect. The positive
'aureole" front that Is so much adj
mired In Parasitic wide brim stand
ing up above the face all round, be-
hind similar but smaller pompadour

too startling to the average Ameri-
can woman, It seems. But as the
progress Of the season produces
smarter dressing. we shall see this
style, so vesy becoming to the COM
paratively few whom it suits, at the
resorts. The elevated brim is pecul-
iarly a youthful fashion; the closer
fitting toque raised by it's bandeau at
the left side is more generally suit

Women who are making efforts to
get away from the city for the sum-
mer by the first of July find it diff
cult matter to get their new summer
toilettes from the dressmakers when
they are wanted. This is because of
the vast amount of needlework that
the prevailing fashions call for. What
with strappings, tuckings, cordings,
appliques and insertions of lace, and
rows of machine stitching, every dress
demands q length of time for its con-
struction that must be as troublesome
to the workwomen as it is certainly
costly to the wearer.
For instance, here is a blue and
white foulard gown, a simple little
frock in its nature, turned into an
elaborate work of art by being
strapped all over in a perfect maze of
tracery with white satin stitched on
with blue silk. The ~est is white piait-
ed mousseline, with an outer vest of
turquoise velvet sprinkled with tiny
gold buttons. Without the white satin
strappings it would be quite as pretty
and perfectly simple.
Another gown is of duck's-egg taffeta
and dove-colored cloth; the cloth is
cut out as IL it were fretwork design
and laid over the taffetas from waist
TO knees and all over the bolero- bodice.
and it is, of course, everywhere
stitched on deliberately. The vest UNI
der the bolero fits close to the figure,
and is composed of the dove-colored
cloth design just outlined with the
greeny-blue taffetas and stitched on
gold tissue ground.
Partisan models of hats are of the
light and airy description in every par

THE NICARAGUA CANAL.
Representative smith says the Unit.

In my judgment during the next session
Of Congress The House will pass bin au-

the Senate will do

who have given much time and study
to the Nicaragua Canal question, which,
in his opinion, is one Of transcendant i'm
portance-
The Nicaragua Canal" said he, will
be built. owned. controlled, and operated
by the United States Government without
asking the leave OF consent OF any of the
other Governments. and the American
people win never consent to have the
canal constructed under any other condi-
tions- Some people have ar idea that the
canal question is political one and that
party capital is 10 be made out of It
take no such view of it In my opinion
it is broad. national question that
embraces the welfare and Advancement
of American industries and commerce In
some quarters the cry is set up that the
cost of the Nicaragua Canal will be
enormous, and that it would be unwise
for the Government to invest in such an
enterprise the amount of money neces-
sary to construct it 1t is just as impor-
tant to the country that the canal be
built as it was that the steel rail should
have been laid across the continent
Without the assistance OF the Govern
ment I doubt if The Union Pacific and the
Northern Pacific Railroads would have
been constructed even to this day. Yet
it must be admitted that nothing so de-
veloped our Western country as the ex-
tension of these railroads What the
railroads have done for the country the

The two features of the new British
war revenue legislation which paTticu-
larry interest America, are the taxes
imposed upon sugar and coal As to
the former. it Is not an important mat
ter Probably the sugar schedule as ar
ranged by Sir Michael Hicks Beach will
operate to give slight advantage to
English refiners, but that does not con-
Germ our producers since this country
does not export refined sugar
Coal is a much more important con-
sideration. The export duty. equal to
twenty five cents per ton, on this COM
modify, is likely to lead to the loss of
some markets by British coal operators
At Cardiff. the centre of the export
coal interest, whence the Ioudest com
plants against the tax are heard, ship
pers declare that the new arrangement
will rob them Of the West Indian trade
and hand it over bodily to the United
States. In that no doubt they are
right, Tax or no tax. it would seem
natural that markets within a few hun
dred or a thousand miles of an ample
American supply would seek II at the
nearest point, rather than go three or
four thousand miles to Europe for it
This condition would have obtained
long ego but for the fact that vast
quantities of British coal have been
taken to the West Indies at practically
ballast freights. This practice can hard
" continue in present circumstances

THE DIVORCE CASE DECISION.

The decision of the Supreme Court
Of the United States in the STREET.
