L. S. society is evidently becoming
demoralized. when the wedding of an
American $3O,OOO,O00 heiress to one of
England's impoverished snobocracy can
create such a scene as did the curious
crowd gathered along the route of the
bridal party to the church where the
ceremony was to be performed Due in
vestigation would probably demonstrate
that Miss Mae Goelet and her lord duke
are constructed of clay as common as
that in ordinary mortals, and why re-
spectacle women should overturn the
laws of decency in trying to rubber"
at the couple, shows curiosity as NOR
bid rs it is inexcusable. When police
men have to drag "ladies" from under
a tent by the ankles, pull them out of
coal holes and from behind all possible
vantage points of view. as well as push
them out of the line of march of the
wedding party. it appears that we have
reached point when curiosity has ceas-
ed to be a virtue.

From present appearances, the United

ognizing the independence of Panama,

is evident that the interests of the

by the cession of canal right of way
to Uncle Sam, combined with the hood

ance of $40,0O0,000 to recoup the French

THE SUMMER GIRL
MAKES RATA HATS
New Pastime for Idle Hours Spent on
PiazZas.

Girls who last year sat on the piazzas
OF summer hotels embroidering collars
or knitting sweaters are enthusiastic
over rama hats this year Only q few
raha lace hats are to be found in the
shops and the prices OF these are so
high that the girl with a moderate al
lowance can do no more than gaze upon
Them generously. To make one of these
hats costs a great deal of labor AMI
care. but not much money. so if a girl
has more time than funds she can well.
AFFORD TO make her own hat.
The raha hat-making is a development
Of the rata basketry. which has been a
popular fad for the last season or two.
Rata work. whether for baskets or hats,
Is not trying upon the eyes, and the
fiber, which is from a palm that grow.
in Madagascar. is pleasant to handle.
A great charm of rata shats is their
lightness. pound OF the fiber will
make four or five braid hats and at
least half dozen lace ones. The fine
braid hats. woven in four or six strand
braids, are satisfactory either for shop
ping or travelling or for shade Erts. while
the lace ones are smart and elegant or
picturesque. according to their pattern,
shape, style of trimming and also-nn
important factor-the amount of labor
put into their making. for there are sx-
quisitely fine lace hats, and-others.
Anyone who has ever made the
macreme lace that prevailed in the days
OF millinery house decoration can easily
master the art OF rafa lace hat-making,
for the patterns are adapted from II, and
the knots and network are copied. The
hat IS begun In the center Of the crown.
| Eight long strands OF rata are doubled
and tied by drawing the ends through
the loop around a stout bit OF raha. This
foundation bit is then tied into as small
ring as possible. The eight strands
/ fopm the midribs Of the pattern, and
upon every one. holding the doubled
strands together. seven long flbers are
tied IN a double SoIomon's knot. With
/ these strands the whole pattern is de-
| veIoped.
Beyond tire star OF the crown the pat
terms are varied according to the taste
/ and ingenuity OF the worker, and to har-
nonize with the shape. Even the crown
centers are not alike in any two hats
although the pattern is really the came
But no two girls tie the knots with the
same firmness or possess equal knack in
holding the strands evenly. Deftness OF
touch and manipulation. together with q
natural love for painstaking. imparts q
beauty TO each hat that distinguishes II
from others.

Encouraging to Conspirators.

Indeed, the attitude OF the great pow
ers In connection with the Servian trag-
edy has been OF n nature to constitute
a distinct encouragement TO military
pronunciamentos. to treachery on the
part of those who, wearing what is
known as ''the Kings CLOTH" are sup
posed to be bound to him by special
ties OF loyalty and devotion. and even
to palace massacres that recall the days
of the old Roman Emperors. Little as
constituent, therefore. will have been
caused by the cabled announcement that
Prince Ferdinand. threatened with the
fate of King Alexander. is virtually a
prisoner at Sofia in his palace. which
has been barricaded and fortified against
attack. and that King Charles of Por-
tugal is engaged in effecting wholesale
arrests among the officers OF his army
who are being court-rnartialed and con-
demned to penal deportation to. Africa

1t is a principle universally acknow-
