GIVEN A CHILLY WELCOME
Baron KOmurR Not Received with
Any Elusive Warmth on His
Return TO Toxic.

Toxic, Oct. H.-Baron Komura, the
foreign minister who acted as chief
plenipotentiary for Japan, has arrived
here from Vancouver, b, G. His recep-
ton at the railroad station was not en-
thusiastic, those present being prin-
cipally government dlgnitaries.
The streets were strongly guarded by
troops, police and gendarmes. The
baron drove to the palace in an inn
perial carriage.
NJ. Teraoutchi, minister OF war, has
issued an order instructing the Japan
ese army in the field to abstain from
criticizing the terms of peace on the
grounds that the declaration of peace
and Of war are entirely the outcome Of
sovereign power.
His order forbids the criticism Of
either subject, especially by those en-
gagged in military service. He advises
the soldiers to utilize the opportunities
Of peace after disarmament Of their
regiments by engaging in their respec-
tive occupations, always holding them
selves in readiness to Join the colors at
the emperor's command.

Now That School Days Are Here

Wherewith shall the small boys and
girls be clothed? This question is agi-
tating mothers the land over; every
day now the lads and lassies appear in
public-have to put their best foot for
ward.
There are ready-made suits for both
that some little home-sewing can make
strong and neat, and these are coming
more and more mo demand. The
home made clothes wear much better,
however, and thu woman at all skill
full with the needle prefers to make
frocks and blouses herself.
Let us first consider boys clothes,
contrary TO the susual custom. It sure
ly is q question for congratulstion on
the part OF the child himself that the
more manly sailor suit is regainiRg its
old popularity; whilst knickers and
Russian blouse continue in favor, the
trousers and blouse emerge from the
background. For the little kindergar-
ten boy there is a pretty model in
black and white shepherds plaid, the
insignia on the sleeve worked in scar
let and the necktie Of this same gay
hue. II a boy has reached the stage Of
graduation from the kindergarten and
Is, going to a real school" he proudly
dons a two-piece suit, not so very far
from the kind father wears. To be sure
the trousers are short, the coat rather
sack-llke, but there are real trousers,
boys coat.
The tie in favor now Is the Windsor.
and we recommend q washable one as
by far the best choice for every day;
the silk will do for Sundays. Very good
wash Windsors are to be had at small
price, and there is a variety of oOlors
to select from. We had called to our
notice lately neat sailor suit Of dark
blue serge with collar and cuffs of dull
blue linen, these detachable, and there
fore practical to trim with white braid
A boy likes a cap better than any other
headgear, and by all means let him
have a school cap; 1t is iaunty and Il
stands HARD usage.
Now as to the girls school clothes.
The very little ones should wear one
piece frocks, as simple as possible,
that they may be tubbed often. The
neat little model here shown is made
on a lining which reaches to a little
below the arm-holes. Over this the
yoke is fitted, the collar, a novel shape
with v back and front, is put on as
finishing touch. The frock may be
made OF cotton or wool, but either must
be washable.
Some children wear heavy cottons all
winter. and this is very sensible.

Beautiful Gowns Are on Display

There are whole show-Windows Of pink
gowns and pink hats, and very beau
tiful ones. One hat, the very pretttest
Of all the brave array, was a small
pointed turban. o. unobtruslve gilt
grown and gilt lace brim. It was
trimmed with one mammoth shaded
pink rose, from the side OF which up
rose a shaded pink plume. The color
ing was perfect, Just hint OF rose
pink against the soft folds Of gilt.
Gilt and silver are fashionable; not
too much of either, at your peril. Too
much looks tawdry, circusy, and is
sure to tarnish The spangled robes
are seen, but are not In best style,
there is too much cheap glitter about
them. One smart imported gown OF
dark violet broadcloth had for trim
ming such touches of gold as appeared
in gilt eyelets and gilt prongs to pass
through the eyelets, for the lacings
now so popular; another had each but"
ton set in a gold rim, and mere edge
of gold braid peeping out from the
edges Of tucks; while lace 1boleros had
the pattern picked out in gold thread,
1t was hard to tell whether the foun-
dalton was white or gold.
There was one fetching robe Of pink
silk of softest sheen, made princess
fashion, the draped bodice continuing
by means of artful cores into wide
spreading skirt. A white lace princess,
which was very graceful, was admira-
bly, adapted to a slender figure; but the
old-fashioned, absolutely ught-fitting
princess is no more, the draped bodice
has taken the place OF glove-like waist.
To return to gray-some one has
spoken of the new season as one OF
gold and gray, there being 80 many
gray gowns, so much gold trimming.
Gray street gowns are in much favor,
and come In both rough and smooth
cloths. There is a good serviceable
chevoit, warranted to wear we'll; then
there are delicate grsys for afternoon
wear that will have to be as carefully
looked after as though they were
white. A little yellow is liked on the
pale grays, and just trifle Of gilt.
We noticed how the mere touch Of
velvet was the proper thing, not heavy
masses. A white lace gown had about
1t no color save that the square neck
was outlined below lace frills with
mirror of velvet of a delicious pink
shade, and there was the same trim
ming above the frills Of the elbow
sleeves. Another white lace gown had
similar trimming of gobelin blue,
and applique flowers Of gobelin blue
and blush-rose. The accompanying IL
lustTation, which appeared originally
in the Dry Goods Economist, is one OF
the seasons best models of elaborate
dress.
One charming pink hat was made
with a crown Of a satiny silk, the wide
brim of the same material lightened by
white illusion, that smoothly covered
the pink, and about the crown, fat on
the brim, was a wreath of moss rose
buds-the fashionable flower OF the
past summer over in England We
prophesy that the theater audiences OF
the winter will, almost to a woman,
wear the fashionable pink hat. 1t is
very attractive now, and in colder
weather will be doubly so; we had q
half mind to say we didn't care how
common It became. It Is long time
since pink has been common, 1t strikes
! one as quite novelty. :

CONDITIONS UNFAVORABLE
A Deep waterway From the Mouth
OF the nIiOins River TO st. Louis
IL Not Feasible.

Washington, Oct. 16..-The report
of the board of army engineers which
made a survey of the Illinois and Mis-
sissippi rivers to establish whether a
14-foot channel can be created from
Chicago to St. Louis has been com.
pletei and is now in the hands of Gen.
Mackenzie. chief Of engineers and
member Of the general stan. As the
report is in response to a bill passed
by congress, 1t win be kept secret un.
I'll It is transmitted to that body.
In spite of official retlcence, there
is reason to state that the report is
most discouraglng to those who are
in favor Of deep waterway and who
secured the legislation for the 14-foot
channel survey. The engineers assert
that the initial cost will be between
$8,000,000 and S10,O00,000. Most dis.
couraging Of all is their suggestion
that a 14-foot channel from the mouth
Of the Illinois river to st. Louis can
only be secured effectively throlgh
the construction of canal paralleling
the river. The engineers have DELHI
erately reached the conclusion that the
Mississippi river, with its shifting bars
and the conditions which now exist
in It, is absolutely impossible of per.
manent improvement to a 14-foot chan.
mel In that stretch from the mouth OF
the Illinois river to st Louis.
While this report may not forever
bar a deep waterway project being
taken ~ by the government, there il
little question that the effect OF the
report viii be to prevent any legisla.
ton by congress along that direction
for some years TO come.

could be made use of, economy and
style need not be at war.
But to get the foundation on which
to put the "dabs" of trimming involves
no small outlay, for the stuffs offered
this season are of exceptional beauty
and costliness. OF course they can be
copied in much cheaper materials, and
often Rcceptably, too; but the gowns
at the opening displays are never on
the inexpensive order. There are nu-
merous real lace gowns, gowns with
real lace in great, deep scallops, or
yards and yards Of medlum-width real
lace. However, there is another fash
ionable trimming that gives as good
an effect, II not better and costs but
fraction as much as the lace; It 10

Of pale gray-blue satin decked with
great rose-tipped flowers of velvet
