The flag OF the Cuban republic ante
dates the establishment of the republic
itself by good many years. 1t dates
back to about 1880. 1t has a Masonic
origin and hence the triangle. The
red field is the emblem of war. The
purpose of the movement here In tbs
United States was to conquer the isl
and. Southern people, fighting Ma
sons, We're the leaders. The three
stripes represented the three depart
ments into which the island was then
divided. The white stripes were put
In merely to divide the blue. The star
which appears in the red field was the
lone star OF Texas. In New Orleans
there existed the Asse iation of the
Lone Star. They assisted Narcisco Lo-
per with money and in other ways
when he invaded Cuba In 1851 and
adopted the flag OF the association out
OF gratitude. When Cespedes began
the revolutionary movement OF 1868 he
had another hag. but the people of
Puerto Principe and Of Santa Clara
raised the present flag. which was
adopted as the CubaE national flag
when the first constituent assembly
came together in 1859.

With SO much OF newness, all Of it

surprising color schemes are many. But
they surprise, for the most part, because
Of their beauty, so should be welcomed.
The third picture presents trio of some
what unusual but pretty matings. At
the left see. in the skirt, black peau de
sole trimmed with apple green velvet rib
bon and ecru lace medallions: in the
bodice, black net over white silk, with
front of tucked white chiffon. The sec
ond of these gowns was sketched in
knife-pleated white chiffon over delicate
lavender silk. On the skirt were rows
of black chiffIn quilting, and the bodice
had c-aDed reyers of white taffeta striped
with tiny black braid. The last of these
dresses was hght-blue pique trimmed
with narrow black aad white silk braid.
The double sailor collar was white linen.
In each Of these was something that the
possessor could feel was not common, and
in none was there novelty so marked as
TO give offense to quiet taste. That Is
one way of saying that they we're styles
worth copying.
The silk shirt waist suit is almost a
fashionable necessity, but now that silks
are reduced the suit need not come ruin
ously high. Black with pin dot is pref
ty and stylish, and the same is true OF
dark-blue- Shepherd plaid silks in blue,
black and red are used, too. Pongee
also is extensively employed for shirt
waist suits. All these may be worn with
out drop skirts, which makes them COOL
and waists are made without lining. They
do not require trimming, but some are
piped with bands of white or bright-coior-
ed silk, braided, tucked and finished with

Pirates in Agreement Again,

Even tie tiger is for harmony, after
he has had his dinner, and, therefore,
there is nothing surprising in the re-
ports that Quay has held out the olive
branch to his former henchman and
late antagonist, Elkin, and that they
have decided to bury their differences.
This corresponds to the general rules
of piracy everywhere. The pirate chief
is the man who can hit the hardest and
he remains chief just as long as he can
shrivel up other mems aspirations by
a glance of his eye. Quay proved that
he could hit the hardest and now his
