A linen collar which has attained
popularity in Paris is stiff clerical
band, fastening with two studs at the
back. The scarf is tied about the Base
of the collar.
The tie which is, as rule, worn with
the stiff linen collar is the long scarf
of soft silk crepe or the new linen
gauze. Individuality is the cry of the
season. The stir linen collar itself is
rather against it, but the soft scarf
tie without detracting an iota of trim
ness still admits originality in knot or
bow. A woman may tie her scarf as
she pleases provided only the general
effect is chic.
Long scarfs are the prevailing neck
ties. There are, indeed, comparatively
few stiff mannish ties to wear with
linen collars. Even ascots are softly
crossed or the ends merely Topped over
each other. The Windsor tie, with its
loose free bow or sailor knot, is a
favorite.
Ribbon is much used for neck scarfs.
The 1ouisine, taffeta, liberty and surah
varieties lend themselves admirably to
the purpose. It is not only the texture
that recommends them, but also the
becoming colors and sheen.

of $12,O00,000. The Winter palace at
St. Petersburg is a structure that
dwarfs our own white house to illi-
putian proportions. OF the banquet

cathedrals are less vast. And the ap-
pointments in general are in keeping
with the grandeur of the building.

might pass over their bodies, affirming
in their hysteria that they suffered no
pain from injuries received from the

quence, they were now sure of place

disc. How many men met their death
on these occasions was never known,
for the sheiks of the mosques took
care, by having. the bodies of the dead
and wounded quickly removed, that
the truth. should not be ascertained.
This cruel custom, which formerly
struck so deep a. note of tragedy in
what was always magnificent page
ant, was abolished only short time
ago-indeed, only during the rule of
the recent khedive's father, the late
Khedive Tewfik, who, being a very
humane man, disliked riding over the
bodies of the people. His edict ordering
this reform was much resented at the
time by his Observation-Disclosures; for
old usages are not easily 'eradicated,
especially where religious conserva-
tism has to be combated. At one time
it seemed doubtful whether he was
strong enough to enforce his order;
but the spirit of reform and progress
had already become apparent in the
suppression of the scenes of turbu-
lence that used to be an inevitable &C.
compartment to the starting, of the
Mecca caravans, and his will prevailed.
The spirit that actuated him is now
appreciated, and his motives met with
universal approval. Year by year the
ceremony is shorn of some of it's
rougher elements, and thus it has grad
ually become an orderly, well managed
and extremely picturesque oriental
pageant.
The parade, which is always held by
the khedive, takes place in the square
at the top of the Shari Mohammed Ali,
close under the walls of the beautiful
and historical citadel of Cairo, and
there are few cities in the east that
can supply SO appropriate and so,
splendid site for ceremony which,
requires a perfect oriental setting.

in so convincing manner
as it can be by comparing
the descriptions of the MAMMAL pa
rade as it was conducted fifty or sixty
years ago with the ceremony as it is
now carried out at Cairo under the
rule of the present khedive. Indeed
the change that has taken place during
the last ten OF fifteen years is of 4
very marked character. Men can still
remember when religious fervor was
allowed to run wild and no authorities
attempted to restrain the excuses re-

covering as something so sacred that
every blessing was expected by those
who could obtain only glimpse of

these ceremonies, and it was some
