now generally conceded, for, like all

been so overdone that q return to the

entirely given up, but last year and

the graceful slanting outward lines
from the belt to the hem so noticeable
in the newest models. The Elton coat
is absolutely tight-fitting and is so
short that the wide belt to the under
blouse may be seen all around. 1t has
rounded fronts and is edged with a
fancy brown silk braid.
A more elaborate and thoroughly
charming Elton costume is shown by the
accompanying illustration. 1t is made
of a dull greenish novelty cloth and
has a double skirt trimmed with stitch

that are drawn through rings of a

finished with clusters Of shaded green

very short and has a wide scalloped

back with exquisitely tinted greenish

to make the materials into q dress for
oneself is an experience that few wom-
en- can have in this day. But Mrs. A.
L. Conger, of Irvington, did it when
she was in the Philippines with her
son. Out there she was known as
Mother Conger," and her gingerbread
and homemade cake were famous
among the soldiers, by whom she was
loved. On last Monday afternoon she
was made a Daughter of Ohio, at the
meeting in this city, and she told the
member she would bring her home
spun dress to the next meeting. Her
brief talk on her experiences among
the natives was the most interesting
address of the afternoon.

Seward Webb in Fifth avenue none
catches the eye more quickly than a
coronation chair that stands at the

hand carving. Truly delicate is the
tracery showing 1.-The Ascension Of

in the panel above that supports a
domelike canopy. The arms and legs
are finished beautifully with a bold de-
sign in leaves. The seat Is low, deep

No member of the Woman's West
End Republican association is more de-

after scoring a victory on some point
she has advanced.

These notified velvets are in great de-
mand now. The gown was made with
a Louis XIV. coat and the revers were
| richly embroidered in colored silks.
This embroidery bound the edges of

cy that caused this gown to be con-
spicuous. Mrs. Lehr's brown tonne
was topped with an aigrette sprinkled
with gilt fakes and a huge gold orna
ment held the feather in place Mrs.
Lehr wore no wrap, not even a stole,
| and she surely suffered for the sake of
her looks, as the day was cold. Mr..
Lehr. by the way, is not as plump as
formerly and he did not trip down

culiar walk that made him famous.

MINISTER HERNANDEZ TO LEAVE
Expected to Depart for Venezuela Next
Week.

In obedience to the vague and mysterious
orders received from his government yester-
day, General Jose Manuel Hernandez min
lister to this country from Venezuela, will
leave Washington, bag and baggage, for
Caracas early next week. probably Monday.
He goes to consult President Castro con-
cerning important matters which 1t would
be easier to talk about than to write Of"
according to the text of the order. Rumor
had 1t yesterday that Amsinck & Co., fiscal
agents for Venezuela in New York, had re-
ceived instructions to remit no more money
to the Washington legation. either for rent
of the legation home. ct 1900 18th street. or
for salaries of the minister or his subordi-
mates. Senior Augusta Pulido, first secre-
tary to the legation. dispelled this rumor to
great degree this morning by announcing
that the rent for the current month had
been received, as well as a check for next
months rent.
II don't see why this question OF money
has been brought up," said the secretary
TT is all wrong in the first place, and has
absolutely no significance, even If 1t were
true. ! admit that my salary has been cut
in half by orders from my home govern
ment but this is often done by countries
when economy is necessary. General Her.
nandez will return to Venezuela immediate
ly, and in the meantime 1 will be charge
d'affaires in the absence of the minister,
and will be the only representative of my
government in Washington"
General Hernandez called at the State De-
partment this morning and presented Senior
Pulido as the Venezuelan charge
The incident of the minister's recall is
looked upon by some 6iplomatists here as
significant, although they are at a loss to
know just what it signifies. 'El Mocho" as
General Hernandez is better known in his
own country, has risen from the ranks of
the lowly and is today and has been for
years the idol of the commen people of
Venezuela. Political differences landed him
in prison during the early part of President
Castro's administration. He was released
just before Minister Bowen left Caracas
and many persons believed that Castro's
troubles with the foreign powers would be
augmented by revolution led by Herman
dez. Through the good offices of Mr.. Bowen,
friendly relations were established between
the two leaders, and lei Mocho" agreed to
support President Castro's administration
AS reward for this fidelity. Ell Mocho was
sent to this country as the Venezuelan rep
resentative He was presented at the State
Department with much eclat, and the le-
cation, which had formerly consisted of
Senior Pulido's apartment in a local hotel,
was transferred to a handsome house on
18th street, and elaborately furnished.
There is an expressed belief here that
President Castro suspects Hernandez of be-
ing in political opposition to the govern
ment, and wishes to get the minister back
in Caracas, where the differences may be
thraShed over and settlement, amicable
otherwise. effected.
