to such an extent that they become
ludicrous. The clever tailor manages
when necessary to square the Shout

round the shoulders of heavy guipure
lace, edged on either side with a mar

Sometimes these are caused by an in

by conditions after birth. II they are

pigs are driving them from the teats and
later from the trough. Having once be-

the other pigs to fight for their food and

is evidently part of the plan of Nature
to eliminate the wealling as breeder.
However, these same pigs, if given a

develop isto good sized hogs and prove

think we shall always remain
faithful to blouses, though l have told
you, and | mean it. that the really
smart dresses now favor the bodice
and the skirt en- suite. The toilette
de visite, for instance, is very elabo-
rate. The new, soft, light make of
velvet will be the fabric par excellence
in next months fashions, and the IA
vorite trimming will be an embroider-
ed collar of the pelerine shape

garments of comfort are mostly cut
after the Japanese shape. And he e
again wine color predominates.
Among others, there are two Ame,,-
can beauties over here dare not tt-
vulge their names, but must tell you
of some of their clothes. An eveni1 g
dress made for one of them is in ivory

full on the hips, otherwise it is plain
to the knees, where it seems to have
innumerable folds and plaits forming

Whatever naturalists and tender
hearted women feel, cannot help ex-

same time this fashion creates too
much righteous indignation to remain,

I direct contrast to the cGTnered
shapes, very narrow, oblong hats are
again making their appearance. These
are very popular with us, but English
women and Americans seem to prefer
wider shapes.
Toques are not so high as was pre-
dicted, although the jampot crown is
revived in the picture hat which is
really of enormous dimensions. Some
lovely models are in two or three
shades of brown velvet and satin

though an Englishman to the finger
tips, he had yet an instructive under
standing of American ways and sympa-
thy with Yankee idiosyncrasies which
gained for him cordial regard every
where he went
Perhaps the fact that he was married
TO an American wife had something to
do with it, but that was not all, Sir
Michael was genuinely, heartily, spon-
taneously, sympathetic and kindly. 1t is
hardly conceivable that Great Britain
can send another ambassador here who
can win so high place in SO short a
time 1t is only little more than ayear
since Sir Julian Pauncefote disappeared
from the scene after thirteen years OF
service in Washington, and there were
many men who thought that sturdy old
English squire had made record which
could never be equalled; but Sir Michael
was already on the road to winning a
place in Washington which even Sir
Julian never occupied.
The British ambass, dor in America is
far more important parsonage now
than the British minipter was 20 years
ago. Great Britain now feels it incum-
bent upon her to send her very best man,
and the Washington embassy is regarded
as the prize assignment in the entire
diplomatic service. 1t is not so very long
ago that 1t was regarded as something

favorite fabric for winter modes. Con-
sequently, we cannot do better than
use this lovely material for a wrap,
combining warmth, lightness and con-
siderable beauty. The old stiff mantle
velvets do not appeal to many of us.
They are too harsh to drape in the
classical folds which the wrap of the
moment demands.
This reminds me that we shall see
curious mixtures this season of the
ancient Greek 1880 fashions, a combi-
nation which in mort cases is made to
bear strong resemblance to the Louis
XIV. modes. 1t is good idea to take
little from the best fashions of all
periods and to adapt it to the modes
of to-day
There are all sorts of fascinating old
fashions which seem. somehow, to suit
the present-d:y beauties.

failed to meet every emergency as it
arose.
Col. Edwards is a young man. He

would not imagine that he had seri-
GUS problem to consider or any task
of consequence to complete. and yet he
is continually deciding knotty ques-
tions and accomplishing important re-
suits. He has to be familiar with prob
lens of currency and the tariff as re-
lated to the Philippine islands and
with every other detail of colonial adj
ministration. He is in effect secre-
tary of the treasury, a secretary of
state, a secretary of agriculture and at

for the Philippines pass through his
hands. He presides over bureau of
statistics and a general information
bureau. He has charge of the records
and the archives containing the pa
pers which have been brought from the
Philippines from time to time. In
short, he is the representative in
Washington of the Philippine govern
ment, and he goes about it all with the
modest unobtrusiveness Of locker on.

1t is doubtful whether anybody could
have come in from the outside and
succeeded in this. 1t is due to Secre-
tary Cortelyou's Intimate acquaintance
with all government departments and
with administrative routine gained
while in the post Office department and
at the white house that it has been
possible to bring order out of chaos.
1t is doubtful, too, whether he could
have done it if he had not been for
