NEW YORK, oct. 23.-Tho London

1t was not wonderful. said Mr.. Hal
dane. that England had been beaten in
the manufacture OF iron and steel ~ the
United States, but 1t was startling that
she had also been beaten by Germany.
Clearly, England was under the neces-

she was to hold her own. She might not
be able to continue to surpass the

must maintain the increase in the vol

Mr.. Haldane went on to show how sci

had applied science to the practical
workings OF the Industrial world. The
manufacture of aniline dyes from coal

shifted wholly to Germany.
The speaker argued in favor of techni-
cal training to help solve the problem.

ARTS, May 4.-Thfs promises
to be a picturesque summer
for the cotton fabrics are
more dainty and tasteful
than ever before. Many Of
4 them initiate silks in appear
ance and are so handsomely
finished that 1t is a little difficult to dis
tnguish them from foulard. The pat
tern is generally outlined in white or
black and initiates a Persian or Japa-
nese design. These materials made up
with lace and with the white yoke that
forms SO picturesque touch on sum
mer frivolities in dress lend to the wash
frock an Importance to which it is not
entitled These gowns may now even
be donned for wear at affairs of state
where hitherto they were not considered
in accord with the canons OF fashion.
Ribbon trimmings are tabooed by the
smarter houses and So too, are wide
white collars or very pronounced white
undersleeves. The umbrella skirt in lin
ger1e is donned with these washable
gowns and gives to the lower part of
the costume the necessary flare. The
skirts are much trimmed with laces and
insertions, the intention being to permit
a glimpse of snowy, diaphanous stuff.
Ex-Empress Eugene has been enter

Just presented to Princess Beatrice. who
has been visiting her, a handsome
mourning gown. The late empress of
the French has always had very
warm feeling for the favorite daughter
of Queen Victoria, who in all probable
ity would have become the bride of her
son had the unfortunate prince imperial
survived. The Princess Beatrice, who
is bit dowdy, must have been a trihe
trying to the eyes of the fastidious Eu-
genie, and the gown may have been as
much a satisfaction to herself as q

Princess Beatrice's daughter, 14-year-
old Ena of Battenberg. was also given a
frock Of cloth trimmed with mourning
materials and black silk. The fabric Of
the gown was cut bias, and all seams

a yoke was composed of finely tucked
black silk. It is said that the Princess
Beatrice intends to prolong her stay

We're never in very great favor with the

younger. Battenbergs used to give them
selves great airs of Importance and
thereby greatly offended other more ex-
allied members Of the royal family.
Princess Ena is said to be extremely IN
popular with those who came in contact
with the late queen, as she is a forward,
impertinent child with an overweening
arrogance that members of the royal
family no less than high peers and
peeresses found rather hard to bear,
considering the fact that she is only the
daughter of a German princeling who
was practically a pauper till he married
Queen Victoria's daughter.

very pretty nightgown was made
of fine longcloth. The back, instead of
the once ubiquitous yoke. was arranged
in two box plaits and set into a band at
the neck. The front boosted of a little
V opening, and the whole was most
daintily finished by a wide sailor collar
adorned with a frf1l of hemstitched
cambria. This, in addition, was carried
down the opening and round the wrists,
being set on everywhere with a narrow
lingerie beading.
Another nightgown, also slightly open
at the throat, was arranged on a tiny
square yoke, back and front, composed
Of two rows of insertion. a little fril of
edging to match coming at the top and
a much wider frin at the lower edge
The opening itself was rather a narrow
box plait with two rows of feather
stitching. The wider frilIing was again
responsible for the wrist finish, as also
a feather stitched band of the long
cloth.
In both cases the skirt part was in
two breadths, having a side gore, the
sloping side of which was laid to the
back and the straight edge to the front
Six yards of longcloth will be found
sufficient, or the same quantity of cam
brio, if that latter fabric be preferred.

Touches Of BLACK velvet R1bbon.

Those black velvet cravats with the
little aiguillettes on the ends are still to
be seen; but, of course, they now lack
the charm of novelty. However, they
are very pretty. A blouse of white silk
is made with the small tucked vest edg-
ed with velvet, black passementerie out
lining the shoulders, a motif of which
holds the velvet ribbon at the neck over
a small neckband of white lace, white
lace putting in its appearance from the
yoke to the waist. There are black vel
vet ribbons again on an evening coat
which is of black glace with choux of
chiffon and collar or guipure. Those
trellis velvet ribbons, by the way, are
now constantly used in evening dresses
as an apology for sleeves over bare
arms; but, indeed, they are not partie-
ularIy pretty, having the suggestiveness
of the decoration formerly dedicated to

People often find their jams do not
keep well. They sometimes ferment or
turn moldy, and either the fruit, the
place they We're stored in or the sugar
is blamed. The fault. however. lies in
themselves The secret Of success lies
in never leaving the preserving pan for
one moment from the commencement Of
the proceedings and not to skim the
fruit. Put, as a rule, one pound of sug
ar to each pound of fruit, and stir the
whole well from the moment 1t is put
on the fire. AS the scum rises and
when boiling has begun stir more vigor-
ously After time the scum begins
to boil itself clear When quite clear,
the jam thiekens. Then take the pan
off the fire and put the jam into warm
ed Jars. All the jams made this way
are bright and clear, even If some Of
the fruit has been gathered on a damp
day. Red currants and raspberry 5el-
lies are managed in the same way and
with the same satisfactory result. New
er skim the jelly, but let It boil itself
clear. Fifty minutes is ample time for
preserving ten pounds Of fruit, allowing
20 minutes for brisk boiling.
