SHIRT WAIST SUITS FOR
SUMMER GIRLS WARDROBE.


waists Is the waist OF fine dimity or lawn
made exactly upon tho lines of the heav-:
ierSwaist, and guiltless tof trimming save
for stitching. The result Is more attrac-s
tive than one would Imagine. They unite
tailor trimness with delicious crSpness
and GOODNESS and are meeting with much
success.
Plain plated skirts with a deep hem
at bottom are made to accompany the
waists, and the whole frocE wa she's isplen-{
.dldly. Gowns of barred dimity are made
UP in the same way and have q certain
chlcness gall their own. "A French welt
linen and very fine duck, slightly rib
bed, are among the new materials OF the
heavier sort, and are well liked for
skirtlngs In place Of heavy plques and !
ducks and also for heavy waists.
Pongee shirtwaistr suits in all colors
will be much worn, and all the soft silks,
tho wash fannels. and French flannels.
&c. are also made into shirtwaist suits.
A cool looking champagne color seems 70
be attaining considerable vogue IN con-
nect!on with the tailor shirtwaist Of
SILK, ana as a result OF the fad for brown
street suits and brown silk shirtwalstss
Is having unprecedented popularity. AK
White Is the color par excellence for
tho separate wash shirtwalSt, although
there are many very beautiful coloreo&
effects. and for entire shirtwaists suits
the dull blues. cool green's. ecrus and Y z
sort rose are much fancied. White pip
fIngs appear on many OF tile colored Shirt
waist frocks. @
Tho shirtwaists to be worn with thu
trim walking skirt do not show the severe
lines of former seasons, but are elan
ately decked with lace and embroldery.
They are belted with the new high crush
eirdle and finished at the neck with soft
full tics OF madras or silk. The popular
ity Of the high glrdle has brought to the
fore sashes which are fastened at the {
side, front or directly In the back.

TO JAPAN'S NOTE
The Exchanges of Views Will Exert
a Strong Influence i'm Shaping Rus
sia's COurse-France Will Exercise
Her influence to Prevent a War i'm
Which She Might Become Engaged
The Answer is Not Yet Ready.

Paris, Jnuary 20.-Although no off,
cial authority is obtainable for the
statement there Is strong reason to
believe that exchange OF conmunica-
tions are now going On between France
and Russia concerning the position
Russia will finally adopt in response to
the last Japanese note. Long confer
ences between Foreign Minister Del
Casse and NJ Netidoff. the Russian
ambassador, are being he'd almo st
daily 1t is expected that the eXchang-
es of. views will exert a strong infiu-
ence in shaping the course Russia will
adopt.
Among the officials and diplomats it
is understood here that the exchanges
result from two considerations:
First-Russia, appreciating the decis-
i've nature of the issues presented in
Japan's last note, desires to secure the
advice Of her nearest political friend
and ally.
Second-France wishes to exercise her
influence to prevent a war, in which she
might become embodied.
More particularly, France has begun
to realize that she ought to be consult
ed concerning RuSsia's course in China,
as Russia and France Jointly promul-
gated the note of March 19, 1902, setting
forth that they would act together, con-
corning the integrity and free deve, ,op-
ment of China.
Concerning Russia's wish to cons llt
France, it is said that the Russian for
eign minister, Count Lamsdorf, has a
high regard for M. Del Cases pru-
dence in meeting difficult situa tions
London, January 20.-Lord Lans-
downe's reception at the foreign office
ambassadors and ministers in Lon
don. At the end of the reception, the
Associated Press was informed that
the situation looked perhaps slight y
mere hopeful, but as the Russian reply
apparently is not yet drafted, no def
mite statement could have been made.
The foreign office has reason to be-
lieve. however, that Russia Is willing
to concede practically all Japan's de-
nandS. but that she cannot give way
to make a treaty with Japan recogniz-
ing Chinese sovereignty over ManchI-
ria. Russia has approached Great
Britain to urge Japan to forego this
stipulation and to accept in lieu thereof
the assurances to the same end already
given to the other powers.
ST. Petersburg, January 20.-The first
exchange of views between the foreign
office, Viceroy Alexief and Baron de
Rosen. the Russian minister to Japan,
ON the Japanese reply has not resulted
in definite decision Consequently
Russia's answer probably will be delay
ed a little longer than anticipated.
