Kuropatkin's Strategy.
ST. PETERSBURG. 1,25 p. m.No
absolute information has reached the
war office concerning the reports that
Lao Yang has been occupied by the
Japanese but It Is positively known
that General Kuropatldn had decided
to withdraw from his positions south
of Lao Yang TO the north bank Of the
Taitse river Tuesday night and the
orders were actually given as stated
yesterday The war office presumes
the movement ives carried out since
the latest adytces yesterday We're that
the crossing was not opposed The
fact was disclosed last might for the
first time that the strongest Russian
position prepared ~ Kuropatkin was
not around Lao Yang but on the right
on the north bank OF the Taitae river.
1t is now explained that the Russian
commander lii chief had all along an.
ticipated that the laps, when they
made their advance on Lao Yang.
would pursue the identical tactics
which have been successful III the
previous stage Of the campaign and
while attacking in front would make
a wide deiour to outflant the Russian
position. This time KnropatiSin was
not caught mapping He was prenar
cd for just what happened and as soon
as the word was received that Gen
, eral Kuroli had crossed the Taitse
twenty miles above Lao Yang, and
was moving westward, Knropatkin
met the move BY throwing his whole
army over at night. BY this strategy
Kuropatliin, in the opinion Of the gen
eral staff gained an immense advan.
tage. His army Is concentrated on one
side OF the river and the road is still
open for his retirement northward
while the Japanese armies which must
act In unison are separated by the
river, which places Kuropatkin In a
position to oppose Kuroki with his
whole army while 0ku and Nodzu arc
stranded on the other side. The re
port that telegraphic communication
between Lao Yang and Mukden was
cut is not admitted at the war Of

much used for evening gowns, while the
tafretas are employed for both day and
evening gowns, according to the color
and the pattern.
For some time taffeta had been
spoken Of among textiles for the sum-
mer season, and all tends 10 show that
with the first approach of really warm
weather this is certainly true.
There are any number OF new names
for the popular silks; among them is
Pamela taffeta. This romantic name
has been given TO a small, very tiny
checked taffeta, so small that It is only
discernible at close observation.
Poppy red and white, marine blue and
white are among the most favored Of
the many delicate shades in Pamela
taffeta. which IS eminently adapted TO
toilettes for the races and afternoon
functions

lightweight wooden fabrics which for
some years. even in the height of sum-

adornment of costumes, and though the

of white perforated cloth stamped out

shoulders. and fun skirts OF the early
spring remaining the conspicuous fea-
lures. Once these all-important details
are needed there is wide latitude for in

unusual effects was never greater. Odd

able are the favorite devices for pro-
ducing the long shoulder slope.
Embroidery in all designs and mate
rails is provided for the coming sea-
son. Much Of it has a touch OF gold,
as have also the galloons and braids.
The girdle is IN evidence in nearly all
the new costumes, although authorities
insist that basques are certainly re-
turning 10 favor. For all women but
those Of syelt proportions the basque

Loose coats are included among the

, In truth il is difficult 10 say for which
time is such a garment most appropri-

popularity as time goes on, and there
are several different shades of white,
the cream and the ivory white being
the smartest and most becoming, al

summer frocks the clear white is really
the best. There are many different quail

upper portion of the corsage.
The sleeves formed a succession OF
shirrings from shoulder to elbow, where
they spread out in a broad flounce, on
the hem of which the white cloth garni-

Then there was another magnificent
toilette OF pale 'forget-me-not" blue taf-
feta, OF which the lower two-thirds of
the skirt were hidden beneath four
flounces of the material, the heading
twice shirred and the hem supporting
rather broad biLnd of white perforated
cloth lined in black.
Here the bodice consisted in a perfect

shade of taffeta, with long Dasques
reaching down the skirt almost to the
commencing point OF the founces, ana
