T. ing over the winter fashions
~ No wonder they complain OF
the hardness Of their lot and
aim at obtaining recompenses
in the shape of enormous
| fees for their services. There is, OF
course. the usual assumption of secrecy
in regard to what they are doing, but
some Of their plans at least are not diff
fcult to anticipate. For instance. they
mean that the velvet gown and the vel
vet coat shall be generally worn in the
autumn. Velvet costumes were fash
| ionable last winter, but then the in
ventors of the modes were merely ex-
| perimenting, and it is claimed that the
velvet gowns of 1912 Will be altogether
superior to those of the past The short
taffeta coat, it will be seen, win have a
rival in the velvet coat that the dress
makers expect to make a feature of fall
and winter fashions. Just how these
are made up viii depend a good deal on
individual taste.
The silk coats worn during the sum-
mer are SO light as 10 be merely orna-
mental A jacket of black silk, lace
and chiffon formed a complement to a
smart race toilet lately worn by one of
the prettiest stage favorites. The gown
that it set off was of rose mousseline
de sole, the front trimmed with flounces
of guipure and cluny, with q somewhat
obtrusive train that exhibited an area
Of lace decorations. The front founces
were prettily shaped, with edges to sim
ulate flower petals, while a row of bows
ornamented the sides. Over this frock
was thrown the before mentioned black
silk coat, mere film of lace and silk.
One of the most charming summer
girls at a recent Longchamps race fas-
cinated women as well as men by her
chic and beauty, set off by a gown Of
rose and white pompadour louisine. So
much of the gown was lace that the
silk seemed to have been secondary
thought instead of the main fabric Of
the frock. Bodice and skirt were fanci-
fully adorned with frills, cleverly Dor
dered with ribbon velvet, which was
knotted into coquettish bows to cover
the examinations of lace bands.

The vogue Of the white plated shirt
waist is seriously threatened by rivals
in the shape of the pink, red and light
blue chambrays. These, with mercer

those fabrics which have a silky sur
face, are so soft and adaptable as to
make q strong bid for second place in

CUBANS WILL ACCEPT

Force Agreement to Plat
Amendment.

Cabinet Discussed Both Cuban and
Philippine Affairs-Order For Civil
Government In Oriental Possessions
Soon to Be Promulgated.

Havana, June S.--The Cuban con-
stitutional convention will hold a
meeting next Monday to discuss the
instructions received from Washing
ton regarding the Plat amendment.
The fifteen delegates who voted in
favor of the amendment have held
several meetings and are unanimous
in thinking that the amendment must
be accepted in manner satisfactory
to the United States government;
and they are determined to force the
radical element to accept the amend
ment under threat Of dissolving the
convention.
The radicals strongly oppose disco
luton, and some of the extremists
admitted that it would be better to
comply with the Washington instruc-
tions.
Washington, June S.-The cabinet
was in session over two hours discus
sing the Cuban and Philippine situa.
tions. A communication has been re-
ceived from Governor General Wood
regarding the prospect for the I'M
conditional acceptance of the Platt
amendment, but it's contents are not
made public. ID can be stated, how.
in administration circles that after
the first soreness wears off the CON
vention will see the wisdom of adopt
ing the terms of the amendment. The
answer to General Wood is to be sent
and the language of that communities
tion was under discussion. Meantime
the existing status in Cuba Is to be
maintained. No action looking to the
aal NO IF ic in
contemplation if the present conven-
ton should decline to accede to our
terms. The program looking to the
establishment OF civil government in
the Philippines is being formulated
in the shape of an order which Is to
be promulgated shortly. 1t is said
that there is no definite conclusion
as to whether the powers of the civil
administration will be exercised an
der the general war powers of the
president or the authority vested in
him by the Spooner amendment
That, however. lis considered mat
ter of detail The main point is that
the civil administration. which will be
confined largely to the municipalities,
will be vested in the head of the Taft
commission and such other officials
as may be designated, and that they
Will exercise their functions subject
to the direct authority of the secre-
tary of war, to whom all reports will
be made. Civil administration under
military supervision, such as is con-
templated. is said not to be anomalous
and the civil government in New
Mexico and the southern states during
the early stages of the reconstruc-
ton period are pointed to as being
substantially analogous to what is
proposed in the Philippines.

"FLAG DAY.
Governor Issnesa Proclamation Calling
on Citizens of the State to Observe
June Goth.

June Goth.
Governor White has issued the fol-
lowing proclamation:
On the fourteenth day OF June, TIT,
Congress enacted: THAT the flag of
the thirteen United States have thlr-
teen stripes alternating red and White
in a blue field, representing new con-
stellation." Then was our national
flag adopted Officially. The coming
14th of June being the first anniyer-
sary in the twentieth century of this
| historic event, it seems to many APP
propriate that the day should be mark
ed by some public observance. Since
1878, when the act of June IA, TIT,
was amended so as TO limit the stripes
to thirteen and the stars in the blue
field to represent the number Of states
admitted to the union our country has
expanded until there are now forty
five stars upon our flag, representing
that many sovereign states. The flag
of our country has come to mean more
than ever before and is now the SYM
Dol of mighty and free people.
Another event this month of pecu-
liar significance and Importance to
the citizens of West Virginia is the
anniversary of the birth of our state.
Since June 20, 1863, our state has
grown in population and wealth until
in the new light Of the twentieth CEN
fury West Virginia stands Respondent
in the galaxy of states, the leader in
the production Of oil, gas and hard
woods, second ia coke, and also virtu-
ally second in coal production, while
its other interests are varied and pros
porous.
1t has seemed to me an appropriate
act to commence both events this
year in our state by observing tFlag
Day" on June 20. | therefore call up
on all patriotic citizens to give evil
dence of their love of country and state
by displaying the national colors on
Thursday, June 20, and [ further di-
rect that all public institutions of the
state and request, SO far DIS practical
bic, that all institutions also display
our national colors on that date.
Given under my hand and seal this
9th day of June, 1901.
