"Is this in style?" asked many re-
ceiver of these dainty little trities.
To be sure they are. 1t is practically
impossible to get anything in this line
that is not stylish and approved by Dame
Fashion. There are countless numbers
of varieties of them, seemingly SO great
in variety that every woman might have
an individual one if she wished.
Every day of the New Year is bring
ing out new variations on the ordinary
themes, and each variation presents be-
quilting possibilities. One can get along
with few blouses, but no normal woman
can to-day be content with few collars,
stocks and scarfs, and the appetite comes
with eating-the mania comes with buy
ing.
First the foremost are the turnoyers,
and even that one division of the subject
opens up infinite variety. One may buy
linen turnover for rs cents, or one of
rsal lace for SIS, and between the two ex-
tremes are many gradations.
The single or double tab collar in va
rious designs is perhaps prime favorite,
but deep turnovers, almost as deep as the
stock and cut with straight lines, are
liked, particularly in sets of collars and
cuffs and in the heavier materials, such
as crash, cotton, etamine, etc. These
heavy collars, and. Guns are frequently
embroidered in Russian or Bulgarian
cross stitch, and are exceedingly smart.
White with black embroidery is popu-
lar and for elderly women or women in
black, white collars and cuffs with mar
row black hens attached by fagoting are
fashionable.
One point about the turnover is trying
to the soul of the wearer and it is odd
that no effort has been made to remedy
the fault. Almost all of the stocks or
dress collars over which the turnovers
will presume bly, be worn al u CuI cd out
in front for comfort sake. The turn
overs are cut straight and the result is
that the turnover invariably muses. sad
ly just in front.
Many of the new hand wrought collars
are not turnovers at all but merely
supplementary collars with tabled or
pointed fronts These. are usually curved
at the top in front, and are worn fiat
over foundation or dress collar, or
without any support.
Linen collars of the stiff sort are in
again after season of disfavor, but
while the severely plain linen collar is
seen, the modish stiff collar bears an
embroidery of dots or tiny flowers or
scrollr Sometimes its edge is scalloped
and buttonhold, sometimes it's narrow

1t nothing that is new in the world of
international economics, nothing the

one days tells us that Japan has issued

What is the rumpus all about anyway?

than that-it is this one little nation

ton and big nation near her borders,
and for the commercial rights of other
big nations of Europe and America.
Japan is saying to Russia: "Corea

policy of the United States forbids more
than sympathy with the little combat

And the menace that is seen is closed

No, little Corea, with its $4,000 square
miles of territory, is not the only bone
of contention. Ii it were the question
so far as Russia and Japan are con-
cerned, would be easily settled. Rus
STA is quite willing to concede the indie
pendence of Corea as demanded, upon
the condition that Japan acknowledge
Russian sovereignty in Manchuria.
What Japan demands is that Russia
concede Corean independence, and the
Bear agree to keep his paw off,the her.
NIT nation without asking conditions,
for Japan is too wise not to know that
the acknowledged control of Manchuria
is but another step in the scheme of
Russian agrandizement, the full OBJ
ject of which is the control of all the
great northern provinces of China con-
tanning the very best markets now open
to Japan, markets the gates of which
would be closed and locked with Russia
in control.
There is peculiar political situa-
ton back of this lone fight of little Japan
| to prevent the disruption of the Chinese
empire. Every commercial nation of
Europe and America has cast covetous
glances upon China, either upon it's ter
ritory or its markets. Had not the
Washington government stepped in at
an opportune time the great empire
would undoubtedly have fallen a prey
to the territorial greed of the nations of
Europe, but with American mills, Amer
lean machinery and American genius
back of these the Washington govern
ment could see better opportunity for
this country in an undivided China with
open ports than in divided China with
closed ports. That this country could
share in the distribution and division
of the empire was not, or is not, to be
considered, and even if it could, it would
be valuable only from the commercial
standpoint, and undivided China offers
a better opportunity than any small
part of the empire this country might,
by any possibility, secure.
The wise heads of England look upon
the subject in much the same way as do
| the officials at Washington. Though
England might share more largely in
the territorial spoil than could this
country, yet England cannot afford to

see the disruption of the Chinese en-
pire. Lord Curzon put the case tersely
when he said: st is only in the east,
and especially in the far east, that we
may still hope to keep and create open
markets for British manufactures.
Every port, every town and every viii
lage that passes into French or Russian
hands is an outlet lost to Manchester,
Bradford and Bombay"
Russia is not a competitor with the
other nations of Europe in the worlds
markets. She wants only exclusive
markets, and to get these she must con-
troll territory. The development of ST.
IBERIA lacks nothing but market for it's
products. What better is at hand than
North China. French politicians at
least are willing to help Russia get what
she wants if in turn she may have her
pick of the southern provinces border
ing her already large interests in Cochin
China. But republican France is not
so easily handled as more stable
monarchy. The intentions of the French
politicians may be all right, but Russia
mistrusts the temper of the French peo-
pie. The military alliance with that
country cannot be counted upon too
strongly for such purpose as the dis
memberment of the Chinese empire in
opposition to the wishes of Japan and
the United States, and so Russia has
curried favor with Germany, who COW
cts territory in the provinces lying to
the south Of Picking. Just how much
Russia is willing to grant in return for
the assistance she needs is hard to say.
but she will probably be quite generous
in promises If such are necessary.
The smaller nations of Europe which
can in no way hope to profit in territory
by the distribution of China at the hand
of the czar, sympathize with Japan in
the struggle she is making, but, like the
United States. their help can go no fur
Their than that of sympathy, and this
neither buys warships or wins bat
ties.
Thus 1t is that Japan is left virtually
alone to fight for the maintenance of
the Chinese empire and for the open
door policy of which we have heard
so much. 1t is the mikado and his army
and navy that must keep the Russian
Bear out of Manchuria, out of Corea,
out of Mongolia, out of Picking, if he is
to be kept out, and the ports of this sec
ton of China remain open to the COM
merce of the world. If she is not sue
cessful. the great wall of China will be
moved south some several hundred
miles to mark the new Siberian frontier,
and Russia will have secured new and
exclusive markets which she so much
desires. That these markets will still
remain open to the trade of the world
Is an idle dream

cluded Corea, then claimed by China as
a dependency, claim which the world
scarcely recognized. In Corea, too,
Japan saw an opportunity, and she was
then but beginning to look for oppor-
tunities, and she grasped at it. Europe
wrung from her what she had fairly
earned by defeating the Dragon in open
warfare, but she insisted, at least, upon
Corea's independence
The Bear, in the meantime, moved
southwark. Policy forbade him NEEDLE
with Corea, for time at least, and with
willy smiles and fair promises he won
favor with tottering China and foot
hold on the open sea. Japan has
watched the menace grow, and pro-
poses to stop it. China, when it is too
late, sees the danger opening before
her. but is powerless. The nations of
Europe, for very fear Of each other.

ranging in price from cheap ones at
