INSURANCE COLLECTIONS
Large Increase In Funds Received
by State.

OLYMPIA, Wash. March 1.-The
state insurance department has col
lected of the tax assessed against in
surance companies for the year 1903
the sum of $62,220.47. This is about
$4,000 more than was collected in
the corresponding period of last year.
Deputy Insurance Commissioner ].
II. Shively says that the increase in
collections does not wholly indicate
an increase in the insurance business,
but is partly due to the increased; "a
cilities afforded in the collection of
the tax by the granting of an assist
ant to his office. Nevertheless the COL
lections for this year will apparently
exceed a total of $4,000, as against
$Se,57S last year.
The receipts so far indicate mark
ed falling off in the net premiums of
the fire insurance companies, as a re-
suit of the many fires in this state
last year, but also indicates an in
crease in the net premiums Of the life
companies that will more than offset
the decrease in the fire companies.
All insurance companies pay the
state per centum Of their net pre-
miums.

A WOMAN PEACE ADVOCATE.
Baroness Bertha Won Suttner and
Her Visit to America

baroness Bertha Won Suttner and
Her Visit to America.
One Of the most distinguished speak
ers at the recent international peace
conference in Boston was an Austrian
lady Of noble birth, Baroness Bertha
Won Suttner Of Vienna After the
close Of the conference the baroness
made tour through several American
cities, speaking with wonderful elo-
quence on the cause to which she has
devoted her life-univerSal brotherhood
among nations and peaceful arbitration
instead of war. In the furtherance of
this sacred cause Nine Won Suttner
has visited many of the crowned heads
of Europe and pleaded with them to
use their influence in doing away with
murder by war. She considers one of
earth's leading peacemakers to be King
Edward of England
During her brief visit to America she
also called by invitation on President
Roosevelt Him she found sincerely
and zealously attached to the interna-
tional arbitration policy 1t was about
the time of her visit that his invitation
to the powers to consider another
peace congress at The Hague was is
sued
In the movement for the adjustment
Of war Baroness Won Suttner hopes for
much from American women. She,
who was one Of the chief original pro-
meters Of this grand movement in Eu-
rope, says that there it progresses in
spite Of the fact that a woman is its
apostle. Here it would gain ground
because of the advocacy Of women
The first thing to do is to convince
American womanhood that war is not
necessity; then will be thrown all
the powerful influence Of the feminine
sex in this country on the side Of peace
among nations. She believes the wom-
en- of America have opportunity for de-
velopment and for helping in the prog
ress of the race toward civilization
such as their sex has not had before in
the historic age
Baroness Won Suttner believes, too,
that in the United States a new hui
manity higher race, will arise be-
cause of our opportunity Though a
born and bred aristocrat, accustomed
to the social life of the highest courts
Of Europe, Baroness Won Suttner turns
from it all to praise enthusiastically
democracy in America, to hope fer
vently that social caste and rank may
never during our existence as a nation
gain foothold in the United States,
which she calls blessed land.
The baroness was born Countess Ber-
tina Minsky in Prague, Bohemia, in 1843.
Her father was field marshal in the
Austrian army, in which two of her
uncles also held the rank Of general
She was trained in the accomplish
ments thought necessary to adorn an

THREE-QUARTER WRAP.

after having been relegated to the place
where out Of date styles are kept, has
been brought forward and is seen on
many Of the elegant evening wraps.
When the handsome wraps have been
fully admired they are slowly removed
with that beautiful assumption Of ut
ter ignorance Of the presence Of anoth-
er being in all the big, place which only
the fashionable woman can display,
and then the waist beneath is seea in
all it's glory. White, with embroidery
and lace, is the favorfte color What
did the world ever do without lace and
chiffon? A few waists are red, some
golden brown, some gray, others lilac
or pink, as ones complexion makes adj
yisable, but all are slightly pouched
still and made with folds rather than
fine plaits. Embroidery in which are
mingled metallic threads, spangles or
fine cut Jet is seen. One suit under OBJ
servation had a dark velvet skirt,
pale lilac silk waist fairly covered
with ivory lace, heavy and thick, and
over this was worn a medium short
cape, heavily wrought with wide pat
tern IN cut jet
Very smart are some of the three
quarter cloth wraps Of the season
made along the lines Of the old fash
Toned nantes Of the sixties, but modi
fed to meet up to date requirements
The wrap illustrated is stunning ne
example carried out in fine black face
cloth. The full, long shoulder capes
are trimmed with braid and ornaments
Of the new silk braid variety. The
wrap itself is stitched many rows
about the edges and fastens at the
throat with graduated lengths of cords
on which are handsome bangles.

HANDSOME WRAPS.
Elaborate Outer Garments and Their
Proper Accomplishments.


The other night | went to see
Becky Sharp" Mrs. Fiske is an ac.
tress who attracts an audience of well
dressed women. They looked like a.
garden Of marigolds with a few scarlet
poppies thrown in and a lot Of red
skinned onions scattered around pro.
miscuously. Many were all in White,
like stately lilies, while few wore
black, but black SO covered with white
lace on the waists that the effect was
like cobWebs over the frozen grass.
The picture was one Of radiant color
and beauty. Never before, I think,
have / seen rich colors in such general
USE Heretofore it has been considered
vulgar to appear in public in such deep
reds and yellows, to say nothing Of the
russets and browns-but there are so
many shades and colors that / despair
Of telling half their glories. Beautiful
woman, however, is always more beau
tiful than ever in the latest new thing
with which she decks herself
Hats were largely in evidence before
the curtain went up big, flat, high
and overloaded with enormous ostrich
plunes-and these hats, instead of ~
ing fiat, as they have done for two
seasons, are now SO arranged that they
stand high and curl over in graceful
shapes. The wraps, too, come in for
quite good share Of admiration, and
there was just little ladylike craning
OF the necks to see some Of them. The
Wearers came sweeping down the aisles
with heads poised in accordance with
the beauty and value Of the wrap and
when at last seats were reached the
happy Wearers stood quite a half min
ute, turning slowly, SO that all there
saw and straightWay became so envi-
Gus that they lost half the meaning Of
the opening act. These wraps are like
loose sacks in shape, generally with
fold in the center Of the back. and
the sleeves are big and elaborate.
White broadcloth or white ribbed velu-
tina, or in some cases heavy white silk,
makes the richest.
A few very light pearl grays are seen,
and white in it's variations of ivory,
cream and oyster is often employed
These garments are lined with some
contrasting silk, satin or rich heavy
brocade. Most of them are without
collars, but all are heavily embroider-
ed or incrusted with lace This lace is
naturally Of shade differing from the
material as far as possible and still re-
naming white. If the garment is mat
white, the lace is ivory or cream, and
so on. The effect is elegant and styl-
ish, while it's value is patent to ALL A
few wraps are high in the neck, with
small storm collars made very stiff
with featherbone, so that while fex-
ible they are sufficiently firm, and 9th
ers are bordered with some rich fur
around the collar and on the sleeves
and also down the front. SwansdoWn,
