stif linen hem is joined to the collar
with open work, and altogether it is a
linen collar of distinctly coquettish
type that is with us now.
In Paris the stiff linen collar, slightly
pointed at the bottom in front and open.
ing in the back, where it fastens with
two jeweled studs, has found much ia
yor
Severe mannish ties are often worn
with these collars, but the preference is
for soft scarfs, and the day of masculine
feminine attire seems, at least for the
moment, to have gone by.
A bewildering array of scarfs IL soft
silk and in crepe is offered, and these are
either tied in loose bow knot with long
floating ends or tied once in a small bow
knot and then knotted loosely again at
the bust line. Many of the crepe scarfs
are fringed, and a few of the silk scarfs
also have fringed ends, but the prettiest
of the silk scarfss for ordinary wear are
in foulard or a very supple surah with
bandanna, scroll or cot designs in con-
trasting color.
Dark blue and light blue is a favorite
combination, dark blue with design in
white and black, in white and red. or in
white and light blue is popular; red
scarfs have white and black designs, and
there are daring combinations of dark
blue, white, black and orange, which
might be most effective with certain
blouses.

tempt to describe them would be futile.
Hand work is, Of course, the keynote OF
the more elaborate type, but these fussy
silk or chiffon and lace stocks are much
less practical than their less pretentious
kindred, and seldom finish Gressy
blouse satisfactorily, while they are GER
tainly out Of place with blouse of any
other kind
With the dressy blouse 1t is necessary
that the stock should look like an in
tegral part of the blouse, and as the ready
made fussy stocks seldom achieve this
effect it is far better to have a stock
made to order to match the blouse.
Trim, smart tailor stocks of stitched
taffeta in black or color have f1arine
bows or some of the many variations
upon the tab finish and are appropriate
for wear with tailor blouses and under
dainty turnovers more becoming next
the face than the dark silks. Very mar
row stiff linen turnovers are also used
with these stocks and are arranged to
button upon them so that there need be
no annoying pinning.
Tailor stocks of plaid taffeta, piped
with white, are among the new things
and are very attractive when worn with
plain blouse in one of the colors pre-
dominating in the plaid.
A set of little gold or jeweled cuff and
collar pins is almost indispensable for
/ wear with stocks and turnovers.

not able to say, but that he is the envy
of all the other senators it is quite safe
to imagine majority of the senators
must be addicted to the wrist bag hab-
it, for So of these handy adjuncts to
craftsmanship were purchased during
the year. They ranged in price from 80
cents to the $1,000 one aforementioned.
Just how the staid old senators dis
covered that wrist bags were essential
to the successful handling of legislative
business is little hard to say, but it
may be conjectured that possibly these
wise and well-informed statesmen so
far forgot themselves as to read a
newspaper instead of their vol
luminous and learned speeches, and
beard how Freddie Gebhardt had worn
a wrist bag on a certain occasion and
had found it useful. With the versa
tility peculiar to youth, and some sena-
tors, the idea Immediately caught on.
for, said these deep and profound
thinkers, if man needs the wrist bag
when shopping, he surely needs it
when making laws, repairing his polit-
ical fences and drawing his salary. And
so the secretary of the senate was duly
instructed to order the wrist bags, and
there the item is among the expenses
of the contingent fund.
With the demand for wrist bags
came the need OF pocketbooks of which
121 were purchased, ranging in price
from nine cents to a more expensive
article of SLABS Now inasmuch as
there are only 80 members of the sem
ate. some of the more opulent of them
must require two pocketbooks to con-
tain their ready cash. Five chatelaine
bags were purchased, ranging in price
from 1925 to S12.20. 1t took ia card
cases to satisfy the demands, and some
of them must have been magnificent,
for it took $16.75 right out of Uncle
Sans bank to pay for the most ex-
pensive one 1t is the general opin-
ion that the pass habit among con-
gressmen has been broken, and we
would not venture to say that such is
not the case, but it will require some
explanation to account for the 20 pass
cases, one of them costing $40, which
were purchased during the past year
Perhaps the senators only wanted them
to recall the better days of long ago,
when it was as strange a thing for a
congressman to pay railroad fare as it
would be for a Chicago alderman to
get along without graft

lar secrets of the contingent fund we
must hurry on Here are q lot of

given are but hint or the scope and
variety of the senatorial appetites and
tastes.
If one was to judge from the number
Of knives bought for the senators-87C
ranging in price from cheap ones at
33 cents each to the best grades at $3.50
EACH we might conclude that the laws
of the land were literally whitfield out
by the busy senator's But taking an
other item of expense from the contin-
gent fund report, that of 1868 feet of
white and Virginia pine and 5000 feet
of California red wood, it is easy to see
the connection between the two. Evil
IDENTIFY the brainy senator's who have
learned to think great thoughts, have
not forgotten to white as in their boy
hood days. When time hangs heavy on
their hands, the inspiration to white
becomes uppermost, and jackknife and
pine boards coon are in juxtapositiOn
and the senatorial shavings falling here
and there. And such of the $40 knives
which are not in use in the LANDS of
the senator's are perhaps Eept in re-
serve for the friends of the senators
who may drop in for quiet chat and
little whiting. But the knives are
not the only articles of cutlery which
the senators enjoy, for 300 scissors
were boughy for their use, ranging in
price from 80 cents to 1921 per pair
Dozens upon dozens of corkscrews
were purchased for the senator's last
year, and this expenditure may be ac-
counted for by the closing of the CAPT
toll bar. No longer is it possible for
the thirsty senators to have his liquid
wants supplied by the professional and
he has been forced to pull his own
corks and serve his own tonic. Every
senator carries his own corkscrew, or
at least he might do so, for enough of
the stopper-pullers were purchased to
more than go around, and judging from
the number of cases of mineral CD wa
ters reported purchased for use in tie
senate to float important measures
safely into port, it may be Inferred that
the aforesaid corkscrews were kept
busy. And we cannot help noticing in
connection with the purchase of cork
screws. and mineral waters, that of
glasses. Dozens and scores and hun
dreds of all shapes and sizes were pur-
chased. and it must be concluded that
they met an early fate and their young
careers shattered, or else they walked

greed of the Russian Bear must stop be-
fore it has cast the shadow of its hoary
paw over all that semiconscious nation,
a nation worse than helpless, on the
mainland that means to Japan life, flu
ture, opportunity, prosperity.
AS a matter of necessity, Japan has
set up a Monroe doctrine of her own in
Asia. The little empire is not large
enough for the awakened activities of
it's people, and there must be room for
commercial expansion. Long before
Japan was awakened by Commodore
Perry and his followers, Yernak had
crossed the Ural mountains and the
Russian Bear began his migration east

had reached the Pacific and found-a

not until Japan had awakened and

The fichu is more and more in evil
dence, and nothing makes a prettier
fichu than white N ousseline and creamy
yalenciennes several inches in depth.
Ready-made fichues are for sale in the

fine, but they are seldom cut exactly
according to ones requirements, and
any fichu needs very skillful and artistic
adjustment by means of folds and plaits

upon the shoulders and tapers toward
the points, and this shape is newer and
more desirable than the cape collar.
The surplice idea is carried out in
many ways and on everything from
street gowns to evening toilets. One ex-
preston of it developed in many ma
terials is illustrated in the gray chiffon
velvet frock sketched here, whose bodice
is almost entirely covered by surplice
pelerine of heavy lace bordered by
bands of chinchilla fur.

There is a 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
chances 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 prey

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.

This article of culinary statesmanship
rivals everything in the way Of mys-

England mince pie. The external APP
pearance of this remarkable production
would not excite undue attention or
challenge investigation, for to be told
that the expenses of the senate OF the

Of dollars would not, perhaps, be con-
sidered excessive.

mixed up in rich profusion with those
things which one would expect to find
there-such as stationery, printing,
desk, library and Office supplies of all
kinds, kilograms, furniture and equip
ments, repairing and cleaning, etc
are articles which not even Philadel-
phia lawyer or ingenious New England
Yankee would be able to account for.
However, the astute and dignified and
venerable and Woodworking senator
would probably be able to convince the
most inquisitive constituent, who
would be daring enough to poke his
interrogatory nose into the expense ac-
count of the senate, of the reasonable
ness of every item, and trace the con-
nection between such articles as ROg-
ers' table knives, gentlemen's toilet
cases, glove cases, opera bags, nail nip
pers, etc, etc, and the profound and
weighty laws and measures enacted by
that body.
The contingent fund Of the senate for
the last fiscal year ending June 80,
1903, covered expenses of $1,419, 883.35,
