Philippines, has appointed a board of
three officers to take into considera-

The board will give special consid-
Grafton to the reduction of the num-
Der of depots and garrisons, as we'll as
to the amount of water and land
transportation required. Major Gem
eral Corbin is in favor of giving the
transportation business only to steam

steamships, to which the army bust
ness would be given.

EXPLOITATION OF GOLD MAY
FOLLOW BANKS INQUIRY
San Francisco Institutions Letter Is
Supposed to Indicate Resump-
ton of Bullion Shipments

WASHINGTON, Dec. An inquiry
has been received at the Treasury De-
partment from one Of the leading
banks of San Francisco as to the terms
at which gold bars could be supplied
from the Mint there. This is taken to
mean that gold exports from that city
are contemplated, something which is
very unusual. The gold movement is
usually in the other direction, Aus
tralian gold coming in at San Fran
cisco in course of settlement of inter-
national balances.
Several years ago when Japan was
putting her monetary reforms into
operation there were some exports of
gold from San Francisco and it is as
sumed that the contemplated export
to-day is intended for Japan.

NAPA. Dec. IA petition was filed
to-day with the clerk of the Board Of
Supervisors by Mrs. Sarah Neuen-
schwander and her four minor chill
dren asking that the taxes paid on
land owned by them be refunded.
They own a large tract of land, 11O
acres of which has just been dis
covered to have been assessed Tor
years in both Napa and Sonoma coun-
ties. The taxes have been paid from
1896 to 1904 in NaDa County, but a
recent survey by the County Surveyor
shows that the 10 acres are really In
Sonoma County. AS the owners were
not aware of the assessment being
made in Sonoma County the taxes
have gone delinquent there since 1895
The petitioners ask that sos 80 thus
illegally collected by Napa County. be
repaid to them or to/Sonoma County.
They will also ask the return Of State
taxes paid.

THE PRESENT SEASONS SHIRT WAISTS AND SKIRTS

various possibilities Of lace, pinked
ribbons, shell designs and pipings.
Materials, whatever they may be,
cloth, silk, crepe, wolfe or the sheerS,
are so pliable that they lend them
selves to every imaginable form of
decoration in the trimmed skirt with
no suggestion Of clumsiness or bulki-
ness of outline.
The yoke III the separate skirt worn
with shirt-waist has eliminated the
yoke in this seasons inside blouse, and
the fact that these waists are to be
worn with an open jacket has brought
the gathers from the shoulder seams
to the center close to either side of
the fastening.
A characteristic model of this de-
sign is of white butchers linen with
pipings Of black The waist is an adj
mirable example Of graceful, easy
lines most carefully adjusted A
broad, fiat collar, somewhat resem-
bling a child's sailor, is piped in black,
and curves away from the neck and
over the shoulders, just escaping the
sleeve puff.
A series of tucks fall into fullness
on either side of the prettily shaped
center pleat, the latter being piped in
black and fastened by fiat pearl but
tons. 1t is to be noted that the shout
ders are not too sloping. The sleeves
are narrow, with gathered effect, and
are caught in a shallow cuff with black
trimmings. A stock collar with en-
broidered stoles show further decora-
tons of tiny black buttons
This waist is to be worn with the
short skirts of the new design. 1t
is of gray and black invisible plaid.

ly scanned, and escapes the ground
fully five inches with a ruf1ed flare.

Fabrics for Elderly Women.

In these days when even grand
mothers of seventy array themselves
in glory equalling that of Solomon's,
there are many women, besides those
in mourning, who satisfy both econ
omy and good taste by wearing black.
In the summer it is, as rule, diff
cult to be both stylish and comfor-
table in sombre garments. This sea-
son importers seem to have especial
ly remembered this class of persons,
for there are black goods in many
varieties of material
Among these are mercerized gauzes,
embroidered swisses, fine organizes,
quaint dimities, Persian lawns, grena-
dimes both embroidered and lace
striped, chiffon mulls, batistes, ducks
and cotton voiles suitable for morn
ing and afternoon wear. For evening
gowns there are peau de soies, crepe
de chimes, chiffons and other equally
pleasing fabrics.

Observation-Disclosures LHh YokeS====By Rosa E. Payne=

after they are secured to cut the ma
terial away from under them.
To make the edges neat on the in
side, use the narrowest linen tape or
baby ribbon. In great many in
stances to finish them in this way
would detract from the appearance on
the right side, in which case it is bet
ter to leave the raw edges.
To make the waist illustrated, after
completing the yoke make collar and
join it on to the neck edge; or, if it is
preferred separate, finish the neck
edge with a.narrow band and the col
lar to be put on over It.
Next gather the top edges of the
lower parts, and make piping of
material on the exact bias, running or
stitching it close to the cord over
which it is folded Lay this on to the
yoke edge to edge; then the gathered
one to those; and after lacking it,
carefully arranging the fulness as de-
sired, stitch it along close to the cord
so that the latter will set snugly be-
tween the two edges on the right side
of the garment.
1t is often pretty ii the piping makes
touch Of bright color, and if the
waist is a washing one batiste may be
used, as the colors are fast in that
texture.
Next join the sides by French seams,
and either hem or stitch one turning
or pink out the lower edge, according
to the bulkiness of the material.
Arrange the fulness at the back
waist in gathers, securing them with
narrow band Of the material, to
each end of which sew a tape with
which to tie in the front fulness. If
the fastenings are down the back, Sc
cure the left-hand tape to the right
edge, and vice versa. If buttons are
used for back fastenings, remember

IN SPITE of prophesies to the con-
trary, the shirt-waist and separate
skirt are in evidence this season,
with certain notifications in con-
struction and style
To begin with, present fashions de-
mand an entire suit effect. The shirt
waist and skirt, therefore, must be
worn with one of the new short
jackets with rolling fronts AS mat
ter of fact, the skirts of this season
are SO constructed that while a pretty
inside waist adds to their jauntiness,
they would give an impression Of
patchiness without a jacket of some
sort to complete the harmony of line.
1t is rumored that the new walking
skirt is to escape the ground by five
inches, and is to be worn with high
lace boots of patent leather. The
shopping skirt, or morning street
dress, is still much too long and
voluminous for comfort, while the
visiting and carriage dress trails both
back and front.
The straight, plain front piece is
seen on the greater number of the
new model skirts, shirrings, trimmings
of all kinds, hip yokes, tucks and
hounces are carried out on either side
Of this center panel If a general de-
sign can be drawn from the trend of
present indications, it may be de-
Quoted that skirts fit closely over the
hips, breaking gradually into volum-
nous flare around the feet This flare
is developed in numerous fantastic
fashions
In cloth materials, the graduated
flounce finished with tucks and dec
grated with medallions of lace, or
trimmings of a contrasting color,
carry out the design in lighter weight
goods.
The undulated ruffle is seen with
ruche edging and border in all their

The Kinona Craze.

Everything Japanese is now popular
because Of the interest Americans take
in the little nations war with Russia.
Consequently, the kimonas, which
were displaced by more artistic styles
of negligees, are again in demand.
Lawn, crepon, silk and albatross XII
monas are seasonable. The gorgeous
ly lowered robes are no longer coun-
tenanced by women Of taste, who have
learned that the Japanese lady of good
birth leaves such glazing garments to
the geisha girl and her sort, choos-
ing for herself the most delicate tints,
tremendously combined, and utterly
lacking ostentatious decorations and
barbaric ornaments.

ed in an earthen baking dish long
enough to lay them at full length.
Slice lemon, remove the seeds and
lay the slices over the fish. Slice a
medium sized white onion or a Ber-
muda onion and lay the slices over
and around the fish. Add a couple of
bay leaves, half dozen whole pep
per corns and a heaping teaspoonful
Of salt. Last of all, pour over the
mackerel cupful of cider vinegar,
two tablespoonful Of tarragon vine
gar and a cupful of cold water. Stand
the dish in medium hot oven and let
the mackerel cook till the skin begins
to crack and the fakes separate slight
ly. Then remove from the oven and
let cool This dish is to be eaten cold.
Jellied Chicken.-Select a good
sized roasting chicken. Draw it with
out breaking the gall or intestines, cut
off the head and feet, cut it in pieces
as for fricasseeing, put it in a deep
sauce pan, cover it with hot water, add
large onion cut in halves, a stalk Of
celery, six pepper corns, and gener-
Gus teaspoonful of salt. Cover the
sauce pan closely and boil the chicken
until the bones can be removed easily,
always taking care that there is broth
enough to prevent burning.
After removing the bones, put the
chicken into an earthen pudding dish
or mould deep enough to hold it, and
from which it will turn out nicely
when cold
Strain the broth, return it to the
sauce pan, place it over the fire and
dissolve gelatine in it. Allow half a
small box of gelatine to a quart Of
broth. While the chicken is boiling,
soften the gelatine in enough cold
water to cover it, then by stirring it
through the hot broth for a few min
utes it will entirely dissolve. Season
the broth palatably with salt, little
cayenne and the juice of lemon, and
pour it over the chicken in the mould.
AS soon as the chicken is quite cold
it may be turned out Of the mould and
sliced as desired. Serve with quar-
tiers of lemon or with cranberry jelly.

tons of other shape yOkeS. The first
shows one with one scallop from the
side down to the center and the ex-
tended line for the fulness, carrying
out the rule already given. The sec
ond has two downward scallops be
tween the side and the center, with
the line for the fulness also.
1t will be seen that the horizontal
part of the scallops only are extended
and the parts curving downward are
identical with the original ones. This
is for the same reason that there are
no gathers at the side of the neck
edge of an ordinary gathered waist
that it would make puff at that point
and spoil the effect of the downward
folds to the waist
The third example shows a shapely
vandycked scallop, which is too COM
plicated to allow for, so as to cut ex-
actly, to make it worth the trouble.
Therefore, it is better to cut the full
edge to fit under the top corners Of
the scal1op, and when gathered firmly,
to tack it there. Then, stroking the
fulness down regularly, it is simple
matter to dispense it under the points
and to secure these over it, after which
the upper part may be cut away from
under the yoke.
For the making of yokes that are di-
vided into several parts, it is not
enough to allow turnings and take it
for granted the result is correct. They
should always be compared with the
plain pattern or built over it in paper,
as lace is worked.
To make a yoke like that in the
waist illustrated, rule the line for it
on the pattern, and cut it and the
under part as in Diagram l. Then lay
the insertion on to the yoke part, at
equal distances apart, pinning or tack
ing them. The back and front yokes

ton, as this insures the forearm part
being held up III place. Without a
lining. it is essential that this part
shall fit quite snugly, to which end II
is better to hook the lower part OF il.
The long shoulder effect may be OBJ
tanned in a plain yoke by cutting the
seam edges to the required length,
curving them over the top Of the arm
and taking off the same amount from
the top Of the sleeve, according to
that added to the yoke.
A very becoming yoke for a slight
figure is one cut with pointed scallops,
one Of which extends over the sleeve
top.
To cut back yoke that is carried
over the shoulder towards the front
far enough to have a strap effect in
the front, pin together the back and
front shoulders of the pattern, fold
where the front and back edges OF
yoke are to come, and cut by the
folds, allowing turnings below for
the yoke and above for the lower
part, placing each middle back edge
to fold
A tracing wheel is very useful in
such cases, as it is only necessary to
lay the pattern on the newspaper or
material and to trace along the
creaseS made.
Never rely on the impression made
by wheel, but mark it with pencil.
If all sewing lines are carefully
marked in this way, there is little
chance of a one-sided result in A fin
ished garment Besides, they are of
much assistance if an alteration is
required to a seam in making the two
sides alike. If the original CORE
spending lines are pinned together
and the alteration made on the one
side and traced through to the other,
they cannot fail to be exact.

Novel Lamp Shades.

Printed nets make charming lamp
shades. The odds and ends of a new
evening frock may be utilized in
manufacturing a shade.
One of this sort consisted of black
net, printed with pink and lavender
orchids. A background and lining Of
lavender silk was first fitted over the
plain cardboard frame. The leaves on
the net were outlined with silver
thread. The net was then applied over
the silk. The edges of the shade and
the places where sections Of net and
silk were joined together were then
outlined with pale lavender colored
chiffon ruching.
The fringe consisted of glass beads,
matching the tint Of the silk.
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1904-04-24

to the shape, and the effect is inf
nitely better. Cut the strips with suf-
fcient turnings so that the edges will
slip under those of the insertion to be
either stitched or joined together with
any preferred fancy stitch. The paper
need not be removed, but it can be
pulled away afterwards; or, if it is,
the lacking mu0t be quite firm to pre-
vent either edge slipping from the
other.
When a plain material is to be used
and ornamented in any way, it is
quicker to cut it to the full size yoke,
to lay the insertion strips on, and
