A bit OF friendly advice to Germany
and England, under these circum-
stances, might be TO this effect; 1t Is
hardly fair to take action against the
Castro government under conditions
that might have the effect OF an inter
vention in the Venezuelan lnsurreetiop;
and. what is more to be considered
public opinion In the United States y
much more likely to be aroused In synfl
patty with Venezuela If the foreign M.

ternal troubles are still unsettled. at
present there Is no apparent concern
over Venezuela In this country; but the
American people have a painfully keen
sense OF what constitutes fair play In
the affairs OF this hemisphere, and they
might suddenly flame up in great indig-
nation II the notion should strike them
that England and Germany had chosen
an inopportune time for coercing the
South American government.

President Castro TO pay his country's
bills. our warships have not been sent

settled. Admiral Dewey will not COM
mand these royal bill collectors to "call

American republic. Kaiser Wilhelm
and his Uncle Edward are not prohib-
tied by the Monroe doctrine from pre-
senting their accounts TO the Nene-
zuelan executive at the muzzle OF a
rapld-hring naval gun and insisting
upon an immediate settlement. Our
wise men and statesmen have given
"the doctrine" microscopic examina-
ton and have discovered no clause
which would warrant them in enjoining
European bill collectors from operating
In South America.

BY Herbert Brewster.
The boyhood friend of Omar Khay-
yam, Hassan- ben Sabah, seems to be
such an interesting character that the
novelists of the day are going to per-
petuate his name. In Richard, Yea
and Nay" Maurice Hewlett introduced
Hassan as the Old Man of Musse, head
of the Order of Hashashin. and Mr..
Meakin, in a more recent novel, THE
Assassins," takes up the actions of this
same order and some of the same char
acters. Hassan-ben-Sab was the
founder of the Order of Hashish eaters
who terrorized Western Asia in the
eleventh century, and, at the time King
Richard made his crusade, Hassan was
feared over all Asia. His followers won
paradise by carrying out his death
warrants and when they returned from
they themselves were put to death.
Hassan's earlier record is to be found
in a testament left by Nizam III Mulk
Nizam, Hassan and Omar were school
boy friends who entered into compact
that to whomsoever fortune came he
should share it equally with the others.
Many years passed and Nizam became
a Vizier Both his old friends found
him out and the vizier kept his word.
Hassan received a place in the gov
crnment; Omar, however, would not ac-
crpt title or office as his share. THE

under the shadow of your fortune, to

and to pray for your long life and pros

was really sincere in refusing honors;
the most he would accept was a small
yearly pension. Thus it came about
that Omar lived at Naishapur. busted

directed to the green and white foulard

of this gown is in all respects conven-

pleats that run down the inner line of
either hip. These pleats hang close
when the wearer stands with heels to-
gether. and they spread to give her

is, to all intents and purposes, a shirt
waist with a chemisette of white taft
feta that is stitched with green, and
yoked in at the top. A fiaring collar
of oak leaf green taffeta falls upon the
shoulders, and this good color is re-
peated on the cuffs of the half sleeves

Such skirts are for use under duck and

costuming. The wash petticoats have
routed the summer silk skirt. In the
evening, when the cOlored cotton skirt
is put off, a gorgeous white lawn af-
fair is assumed, or sweet white net
or esprit petticoat is donned. The white
cotton esprit petticoats are good in
vestments. They wash perfectly, take
the starch beautifully and form the
most buoyant foundations for silk,
muslin or lace gowns.
