see the disruption of the Chinese em-
pire. Lord Curzon put the case tersely
when he said: 'It is only in the east,
and especially in the far east, that we
may still hope to keep and create open
markets for British manufactures.
Every port, every town and every viii
lage that passes into French or Russian
hands is ar outlet lost to Manchester,
Bradford and Bombay"
Russia is not competitor with the
other nations of Europe in the worlds
markets. She wants only exclusive
markets, ana to get these she must con-
troll territory. The development of ST.
IBERIA lacks nothing but market for it's
products. Wha, better is at hand than
North China. French politicians at
least are willing to help Russia get what
she wants If in turn she may have her
pick of the southern provinces border
ing her already large interests in Cochin
China But republican France is not
SO easily handled as a more stable
monarchy. The intentions of the French
politicians may be all right, but Russia
mistrusts the temper Of the French peo-
pie The military alliance with that
country cannot be counted upon too
strongly for such purpose as the dis
memberment of the Chinese empire in
opposition to the wishes of Japan and
the United States, and so Russia has
curried favor with Germany, who COW
cts territory in the provinces lying to
the south of Picking. Just how much
Russia is willing to grant in return for
the assistance she needs is hard to say,
but she will probably be quite generous
in promises if such are necessary.
The smaller nations of Europe which
can in no way hope to profit In territory
by the distribution of China at the hand
of the car, sympathize with japan in
the struggle she is making, but, like the
United States, their help can go no fur
Their than that of sympathy, and this
neither buys warships or wins bat
ties.
Thus it is that Japan is left virtually
alone to fight for the maintenance of
the Chinese empire and for the open
door policy of which we have heard
so much 1t is the mikado and his army
and navy that must keep the Russian
Bear out of Manchuria, out of Corea,
out of Mongolia, out of Picking, if he is
to be kept out, and the ports of this sec
ton of China remain open to the COM
merce of the world. If she is not sue
cessful, the great wall of China will be
moved south some several hundred
miles to mark the new Siberian frontier,
and Russia will have secured new and
exclusive markets which she so much
desires. That these markets will still
remain open to the trade of the world
is an idle dream.

Guided Corea, then claimed by China as
a dependency, claim which the world
scarcely recognized. In Corea, too,
Japan saw an opportunity, and she was
then but beginning 10 look for oppor-
tunities, and she grasped at it. Europe
wrung from her what she had fairly

warfare, but she insisted, at least, upon

as this in style?" asked many re-
ceivcr of these dainty little trifies.
To be sure they are. 1t is practically
impossible to get anything in this line
that is not stylish and approyedby Dame
Fashion. There are countless numbers
of varieties of them, seemingly so great
in variety that every woman might have
an individual one if she wished
Every day of the New Year is bring
ing out new variations on the ordinary
themes, and each variation presents be-
quilting possibilities. One can get along
with few blouses, but no normal woman
can to-day be content with few collars,
stocks and scarfs, and the appetite comes
with eating-the mania comes with buy
ing.
First the foremost are the turnoyers,
and even that one division OF the subject
opens up infinite variety. One may buy
linen turnover for % cents, or one of
real lace for SIS, and between the two ex-
tremes are many gradations.
The single or double tab collar in va
rious designs is perhaps prime favorite,
but deep turnovers, almost as deep as the
stock and cut with straight lines, are
liked, particularly in sets of collars and
cuffs and in the heavier materials, such
as crash, cotton, etamine, etc. These
heavy collars and. cuffs are frequently
embroidered in Russian or Bulgarian
cross stitch, and are exceedingly smart.
White with black embroidery is popu-
lar and for elderly women or women in
black, white collars and cuffs with mar
row black hens attached by fagoting are
fashionable.
One point about the turnover is trying
to the soul of the Wearer and it is odd
that no effort has been made to remedy
the fault. Almost all of the stocks or
dress collars over which the turnovers
will presumably be worn are curved out
in front for comfort sake. The turn
overs are cut straight and the result is
that the turnover invariably muses. sad
ly just in front.
Many of the new hand wrought collars
are not turnovers at all but merely
supplementary collars with tabled or
pointed fronts These are usually curved
at the top in front, and are worn fiat
over a foundation or dress collar, or
without any support
Linen collars of the stiff sort are il
again after season of disfavor, but
while the severely plain linen collar is
seen, the modish stiff collar bears an
embroidery of dots or tiny flowers or
scrolls. Sometimes its edge is scalloped
and buttonhold, sometimes it's narrow

adapted to either evening or
afternoon reception wear, is astonishing
us with it's multiplicity of design and
elaborateness
And speaking of these gowns let us
look at the colors. Pale blue is preemi-
nently the color for use with the omni-
present moleskin, although some shades
of yellow and orange furnish an excel
lent relief to the soft darkness of the
fur, and a moleskin toque trimmed in
marigolds shading through the yellows
and orange is a thing to conjure with.
Yellow is one of the dominant color
notes this winter, especially in the
realm of evening and house attire, and
some of the shades are remarkably beau
tiful. Banana is a favorite shade, par
ticularly in the soft yelvets, and is not
so trying as many of the yellows.
Pineapple is another popular yellow,
and there is new golden yellow which,
while not universally becoming, has an
exquisite warmth and softness, special
ly when used in many thicknesses of
chiffon. This golden yellow is charming,
too, in the lustrous satins, and some of
the ultra-fashionable milliners are US
ing soft gold yellow felts OF bearers, or
shapes covered with many folds of gold
yellow chiffon and almost invariably
trimmed in dark fur OF velvet.
