Paris, November b
Among the winter models nothing promises
TO be more modish than the princess gown but
1t is the princess rejuvenated, frivolous,
crraceful version of the rather austere style OF
gown that has hitherto been included under
that name The waist line is almost always
softened, the bodice part may be draped, the
line may be broken in becoming fashion by
hanging pelerine short, loose bolero, but still
1t is the princess. The long lines of this form
have always proved seductive to women al
though few could stand its severity, but now
that the dressmakers have learned to combine
soft drapery with these lines 1t is not strange
that It IS a favored model.
Dressmaking is to-day both g. business and an
art, that is, it is by business men or COM
panies that are in the main dominated by the
designers. The former will pay any price for
a design they want or to keep in their employ a
clever designer.

Roosevelt Advises Frisco Merchants
Regarding Chinese Boycott.

San Francisco, Cal, Dec. 15-Respond-
ing to communications from the Mer-
chants Exchange Of San Francisco
President Roosevelt has written a letter
IN which he expresses his views concern
ing the Chinese boycott of American
goods and also the exclusion laws. The
president writes that this government
must do justice as well as exact justice;
that Chinese laborers should be exclud-
ed but that the exempt classes of Chi
nese should be treated courteously. If
the exclusion laws need to be amended,
American merchants must exercise their
influence for amendment, American
merchants must exercise their influence
for amendment, he says. The president
adds that the immigration department
has acted with utmost harshness toward
the Chinese, the fault resting ultimately
with mistaken public opinion.
In regard to the Chinese boycott of
American goods the president says that
everything in his power and that of the
state department has been done to stop
the boycott.
must be done by your own representa-
making such changes in the exclusion
law as to prevent the injustice and hui
initiation to which the Chinese who do
not belong to the coolie class have been
subjected IN coming to this country"
The Merchants Exchange held q
meeting and gave prompt acquiescence
to the presidents views by adopting
resolutions favOring such amendments
to the exclusion laws as would cause
them to conform to what the chief eX-
ecutiYe deemed right and just.
