~ARIs, Jan. 2.-The new play by

M
de Jerusalem" at the Gymnase
II last night created a tremendous
sensation here. The plot treats
Indirectly of the race conflicts which
have agitated Frenchmen during the
last decade. but in so tactful a fashion
is the question handled that Senites
and anti Semites are doubtful of its
Inference. The deep feeling which the
Drevfus affair still causes was shown
in a. most pronounced manner at this
,,arfornance. The feeling was espe
ciaIlv noticeable in the third act, where
a lew is dismissed by his host for
sneaking slightingIy of the army. The
,1fxed condition of the audience nearly
brought about a suspension of the play,
and II is doubtful whether the Gymnase
theater will continue to produce this
stvle of semipolitical drama. The play

of Judith the Jewess, wore an exquisite
costume of beige cloth trimmed with

Charming indeed was second toilet of
rnauve velvet with full, gathered
skirt. The gathered corsage was held
to the figure by a high, tight fitting

eufpure de venise bordered with a mar
row band of sable finished with a
bright cerise velvet bow. The accom-
panvine marquise chapeau was of ce-
rise beaver trimmed with plumes of
the same color.
Between the acts had an opportu-
nifty to observe how pretty are the new
theater toques. They come down over
the eyes. fit the head close at the back
and are delightful whether they are of

ers I discovered a white marqu1se in
tuIIe and chenille with a wreath of
small pink roses at one side that de-
cided me to call on my milliner to have
it duplicated. Tul1e hats for both day
and evening wear are so general now
that, Judging from the headgear of an
assemblage. one is in doubt as to
whether it is January or June.
Among the most picturesque exam
pies of the newest millinery is a hat of
black silk beaver bound with dull
silver galloon and trimmed with white
ostrich feathers. The popularity of all
sorts of galloons is remarkable just
now, and I believe Napoleon and
Charles 1 are held responsible for the
fancy.
Anent the responsibilities of fashions,
the full skirt was sponsored by Queen
Victoria, but we have greatly improved
in the art of dressmaking since those
times, and if the clothes of 1880 were
compared with those of today we would
be credited with the fact that in sar-
torial art we are able to give a few
points to our great grandmothers.
The plain. tight fitting skirt is entire
ly banished from our regard. The skirt
smiled upon by La Mode and therefore
adopted by every we'll gowned woman

was not equally menace. In 1897
the Russian feet sailed into the
harbor Of Port Arthur merely to
pass the winter, said the St. Pet
ersburg government, in explanation
to the world. It is there yet-a
part Of it.
In one matter, however, Mr.. Fas-
sett is mistaken. He says that by
"a treaty negotiated in 1882 the
United States and Korea agreed
that if either was put upon by a
foreign nation and her integrity
and soil threatened, the other would
come to her assistance as an ally.
The treaty still stands, and the
writer says it is likely to embroil
us. If the statement were correct,
we would certainly be bound TO in
terfere. But it is not correct. The
treaty of May ~, 1882, provides;
ST other power deal unjustly or
oppressively with either govern
ment, the other will exert its good
Offices, on being informed Of the
case, to bring about an amicable
arrangement, thus showing its
friendly feelings.
That is very different thing
from war We are only bound to
use our good Offices.
Mr. Fassett gives a good descrip-
ton of Korea and the Koreans, but
the chief value Of his article resides
in his treatment of the 'irrepressi-
bic conAict" the inevitable out
come of a strained situation. *.

KOREA, THE PRIZE or WAR.
An article in the February num-
Der Of the Review Of Reviews on
Korea, the Prize Of War, by J.
Sloan Fassett, is especially interest
ing at this time.
Mr.. Fassett says that Korea is
the real bone of contention between
Japan and Russia, and that all ideal
solution Of the controversy between
the two nations would be for the
powers to guarantee the independ-
ence. of Korea. Russia wants Ko-
rea for commercial purposes. It
would afford an open harbor Japan
wants it as a place to stand to meet
the aggressions of the slav And
every japanese, from emperor to
laborer- understands that Korea in
Russian HANDS means dagger at
the heart Of Japan. 1t is life and
death struggle with the japanese.
Andn Japan would be content with the
oday guarantee of the political autonomy
onll Of the peninsula. She would be-
willing to take her chances. Korea
Mis-: is congenial soil TO the Japs and af
'i'n fords an ideal outlet for an over
ives \ crowded population. If Russia
leek. should get Korea it would bring
- the Northern Bear to tile very
portals Of the household of Japan.
On the other hand, if Japan should
take Korea it would bring the little
yellow man to the borders Of Man
churia.
Take the buffer away and the
Slav and Jap are face TO face.
