Cavities Strong Minded

~ KlENIAL women are usually
weak and gentle creatures,

marked exceptions, at least
the Tagalog women Of Cavite on Ma

in the Philippines for its strong-mind-

No Coffee or Dessert in Japan.

Coffee is not popular in Japan. When
guests arrive for dinner party, they
are received in an anteroom and inn
mediately served with tea and cakes
before entering the banquet hall. The
cups in which the tea is served are
very small and of the finest porcelain.
They have no handles, but are passed
on metal trays, which take the form
of leaf. The tea is brewed directly
in the little cups, and served without
sugar or cream.
Dessert, SO dear to the Occidental
housewife, is also unknown in Japan.
At formal dinners rice forms the last
course. 1t would be a breach Of
etiquette to serve the little cakes
which come before dinner with the tea
during this final course.

same shade Of green as the linen can
vas. The same decoration appears
on the scroll-shaped cuffs.
Still another combination is a natu-
ral-tone Shantung, with heavy broad
cloth in forget-me-not blue forming
the scrolls. The broadcloth is en-
broldered and braided in natural-col-
ored silk and gold bullion
Quite the sauciest thing in beach
jackets are the little box coats of
pure white serge, double-breasted and
finished with small gilt buttons. These
are collarless, and the neck and sleeves
are finished with a scroll design in
cardinal velvet, outlined with fine
black silk braid A white sailor with
a cardinal ruching Of ribbon, a white
duck or serge suit, and parasol Of
white, edged with hemstitched band
OF cardinal silk, are shown with this
natty little jacket.

show lace stoles or yokes, but incline
to tailored effects, and this is where
the odd combinations appear.

- lLK weaves hold undisputed
sway in a season notable for
~ its coquettish summer wraps.
Along with the quaint frocks
Of 1880 and 1860 modes has come the
short wrap-half jacket, half cape, and
altogether frolicsome and frivolous.
1t is the despair of the woman who
goes in for all things utilitarian and
the joy of the type who would make
eyes at Bedouin captors holding her
for ransom in Sahara.
It must be admitted that summer
wraps are firtatious in every fold and
frill. There isn't a sensible thing
about them, so the world of men-folk
is going to like them and the world
of women-foTk to buy them.

Pinking Is in Again.

The household which has cherished
grandmother old pinking iron may
now bring forth the treasure and put
it to good use. For all the ruchings
employed so largely this season a
pinked edge is most effective, and the
irons can be bought in scallops of
various sizes. Point d'esprit frocks
have ruchings of ribbons or pinked
taffetas, hats are trimmed with pinked
ruchings and all the smartest petit

WHY JAPs ADMIRE THE CARP.

The carp, which plays 50 promi-
nent part in Japanese decorations, is
also the principal dish at high-c1ass
Japanese dinner. 1t is deemed to be
the dish above all others upon which
young men who desire a martial ca
reer should be fed, as its eaters are
supposed to imbibe the courage of the
fish.
1t is the bravest Of all the Japanese
fish, and the only one that can swim
up waterfall. Yet when finally
caught it will lie perfectly still while
waiting to be killed. These qualities
Of bravery, strength and resignation
are much desired by Japanese young
men, and happy is the family on
whose table the carp appears at fire.

Monograms for the Summer Shirt.

Men who have soft summer shirts
made to order are ordering good
sized monograms embroidered upon
them. If the shirt has breast pocket,
the monogram may be embroidered
upon it. If there is no pocket, the
monogram appears above the cuff Of
the left sleeve. The smartest mono
grams are done in self-tones, showing
one of the colors appearing in the pat
tern Of the shirt.

Colors for the Summer Cird1e

For silken girdles to wear with thin
summer frocks, nothing approaches
in daintiness and popularity the pom

borders of solid color Another
favorite combination for girdles and

A striking instance, which tones per-

her handkerchiefs are tucked, the

Silken Card Cases Are Fashionable

The summer card case will not so
much as suggest leather. 1t comes in

HAYS SUCCESS.
1t OvershadoWs Interest in the
Fighting for the Time.

Paris, Feb. 15.-The foreign Office to-
day confirmed the announcements
made in these dispatches Saturday that
Russia and France approve of the
United States note on the subject of
neutrality with a -servatio
excluding Manchuria.
The success of the American initia-
tive to secure the naturalization of
China and the limitation of the area
of operations continues to absorb Off
cial and diplomatic attention, the re-
suits effected being considered para
mount to the actual war operations. 1t
Is said that the second American note
and the various replies will constitute
an accord of the powers. without sign
ing a further agreement.
The American officials here expect
Russia to issue q declaration similar to
that of Japan, favoring the principle of
the accord, but the French foreign of
flee understands that Russia's brief APP
provo already given constitutes Rus
s1a's response.
The general view, including that of
the American officials, is that the accord
will prove of inestimable benefit in
limiting the conflict strictly to Russia
and Japan, thus keeping out Great Brit
ain, France, hin and all other pow
ers and also cirsumscribing the zone of
the conflict. This view, however, is not
universally accepted. certain high quar-
ters holding that Russia secures real
benefits from the accord, by the direct
admission of the powers for the time
that Manchuria is to be treated indie
pendently from the rest of China.
The American answer to this is that
Manchuria is excluded from the &C
cord merely because actual war opera
tons are proceeding there, but there is
reason to believe that Russia attaches
much Importance to the powers ex-
cepting Manchuria from the accord
dealing with China.
The only advices received here con-
corning the operations in the field
show the gradual concentration of
Russian and japanese troops neal the
Yalu river.

Opening prices of stocks hardly stirred

There was no change in excess of a quar-

Buying was very small, but offerings

were losses of a point by General Elec-
trio and Wheeling and Lake Erie first

The market generally hardened on very
light buying which was largely concen-
trated in a few c~Oalers, grain carriers and
specialties. Brooklyn Transit made the
more notable rise in the active stocks,
touching 1875. Amalgamated Copper,

RUSSIA IS SUSPICIOUS.
Sees Enemies Real or Imaginary in
Every Corner.

New York. Feb. 15.-In spite of the de-
NAL of Lord ~Lansdowne, it is still be-
lieved here that the Japanese fleet had its
headquarters at Wei-Hai-Wei, says a
Herald dispatch from st. Petersburg. A
note has reached the British ambassador
here asking him if the Japanese, by some
misunderstanding. had been allowed to
enter Wei-Hai-Wei. If so, England is
requested to reoccupy the place, other
wise her failure to do so will be regarded
as a hostile action by the imperial gov
eminent.
Further, the British ambassador has
received a note containing the formal
protests of Russia against a British ex-
petition to Pekin.
Much attention is given here to the
Danish action calling upon 15,U00 men and
naval reserves to man fotresses. This is
supposed to be the first move toward
closing the sound.
International matters are assuming 4
very serious aspect. according to the dis
patch. One of the most serious bits Of
news at this moment is the alleged CON
