Picture CoIlarettes.

1t is scarcely to be expected that
any style could come in this season
without its picture qualities. and the
capes are no exception TO the rule
that all dress must be picturesque.
There are many of the cape family
that are more than picture like, hav-
ing qualities of decoration that are
positively romantic.
Witness a cOllarette built of black
satin embroidered in red and sold
silk. the design being Russian. Trees.
strange animals and all sorts of
quantity shaped houses are worked
into the design of the cOllarette.
v-h.cN = Clly shoulder deep and is in
tended for evening wear alone. Along
It's edges there are shirrings of
white mousseline.
Another like cape for evening wear
is white satin, embroidered in gold
threads, very little of the material
being needed, as the cape is not quite
shoulder deep. 1t is finished with
gold fringe and is trimmed around
the throat with very heavy, very
fluffy ruffie of white chiffon.
Still another shoulder cape, this one
worn by a young matron, is cut from
handsome bit of silk brOcade, which
is outlined as is its figures with
white silk The border of this cape
is trimmed with the tiniest bands of
fur.
And there are conventional picture
capes which can be worn in the day
| time, one of which is made of black
silk covered with black lace and Dor
dered with a narrow band of black
fur
A still more conventional design is
the cOllarette which is fiat, is made oil
fur and is cut with long stOles. The
inner part is lined with white satiT
and the ends are trimmed with bal
fringe The price, which is governed
> by the kind OF fur, runs from SO VI
10 $4,000, with 500 as a reasonable
average.
But, with this stole collar, there J:
a large fiat muff, which is very hand
some, and which is built on new lines
1t is of the same fur, front and back
is lined inside with fur, and is as fla
as it is possible to make it.

stroke when he took forts like these
at Macin and BacOlOd without losing q

In less than a year after the Bayan
fight. in February of 1908. he was in,
vited up to Bayan, where half-a-dozen
dattos met him, and with all the Ger
emonies of their religion made him OF
their rank. an hereditary MOhamme,
dan chief. with full power of life and
death. AS a matter of fact, he soon
became the dattO. whose slightest ex-
preston of opinion was final. The
wild tribesmen had found a man after
their own hearts in the big, silent
soldier. who never was angry. who
did everything he said he would dc,
who struck with the terrible sureness
of Allah. and then asked the smitten
one to be his friend. Long before he
left them he was known everywhere
as the Father.
Personal Authority The Only One.
The experiences of General Arolas
and Captain Pershing give a very
clear view of the situation in Moro
land today. Those thousands of fierce
warriors can understand no rule but
personal one. Their superior must be
superior in all their savage virtues,
personal prowess and military leader

Such a man can lead them almost as
he will. r.ss 81. .ra.
Two Christians controlled them, but
only by abstaining absolutely from any
interference with their religion, or
their own relations as chieftain and
vassal. Each new governor will De
on trial. and must prove his right to
govern. In all probability the present
trouble in Jolo is due almost wholly
to the fact that General Wood and
most of his subordinates are new
corners. The Moros distrust them and
will resent any attempts to direct
their affairs as attacks on their relig-
ion and their freedom. Whenever the
man in authority there can prove his
power to punish, his justice and hon
esty, and convince them that their ex
istence as free MOhammedans is no
in danger, he will have no difficulty i
maintaining peace. The point q

constructed waterworks and sewers,
schools and a hospital, and then set
tied down in his clean and beautiful
city to govern his islands. He did it.
One little relic of his stern methods
still exists. Just beyond the sentry
box where incoming Moros leave their
arms, a white stove stands by the
path. When a Moro reached this. the
sentry called out Armed MorO!" and

over in Mindanao another man has
gained this absolute control of the
MorOs, by the same simple process of
saying just what he meant, and letting
neither fear nor favor stop him in the
carrying out of his words.

The Instep suit.

The very severely tailored girl is in
vogue this season as she has not been
for several years, and there are now
gowns built for her without tri11-
ming, Of a heavy, rough, almost man
nish material, cut in the severest
fashion, fitting the figure from head
to heel, and made up on lines that
suggest a mans coat, and do not ad-
nit of as much as a single frill.
These severely tailored suits are
stitched, strapped and banded; they
are trimmed with buttons and with
button holes, and they are made
sometimes with and sometimes with
out slot seams. They are finished
with a very deep hem. But they are
not trimmed. No lace appears upon
them; and there is not the sign OF
embroidery or applique, nor of any
trimming that is akin to either.
These suits are built OF instep
length. In fact, the most novel of the
seasons fashions is the new instep
skirt, which is as long as its name
suggests and which is cut off even all
the way around. 1t is a skirt that is
finished with a hem around the bot
tom; it is strapped as to the seams all
the way up; it is trimmed with strap
pings of cloth a foot deep around the
bottom and each strapping is finish

This skirt is tightly fitted around

Cured that a punitive expedition be-
came absolutely necessary, and IN
May of 1902 Colonel Baldwin led his
troops up to the south shore of Lanao,
and at Pandapatan, or Bayan, the
Moros had the novel experience OF alb
solute and overwhelming defeat at the
hands of despised white men. But
their surprise was doubled when the
victors announced that they didn't en-
joy fighting. and would like to be
friends with all Moros.
A permanent camp, Vickars, was es-
tablished few miles from the lake,
and a captain of cavalry, John j.
Pershing. was left there to make
| friends. His method of establishing
| friendly relations was somewhat un-
usual. but so effective that in less
than a year he led force completely
around the lake, for the first time in
history.
Captain Pershing-Datto.
| The captain kept "open house" in
his tent, and explained to all dattos
who accepted his invitation to call
that he wished to be their friend, that
he would not interfere with any OF
their customs nor touch a stick OF
their property. and that they must do
the same by him. Most of them agreed
to this proposition, and gave no more
trouble. Only two. the chiefs of Macin
and Bacslod. refused to visit him,
which meant a declaration of hostility
for a Lake Moro who accepts your
hospitality or receives you in his
house is per Sc your friend. So Cap
tain Pershing warned them that in
case they persisted in unfriendliness
their forts would be destroyed; waited
patiently till the last straw was laid
on and then destroyed the fort with
the quiet regularity of a machine.
