COMMERCE OF EGYPT.
Suggested That American Manufacture
ers Give Attention to This Country.

In closing a comprehensive report in re-
gard to the commerce of Egypt and the
share therein OF the United States, Vice
Consul General F. G. Morgan, at Cairo,
draws the following pen picture of trade
conditions in ancient Egypt:
II have already mentioned that the pur-
chasing power of the country is increasing
year by year. but l should go further and
say that the purchasing power OF the feilah
native cultivator) may now be exhibited.
and he takes care that it is. 1t is but few
years since any display not of wealth, but
of being one degree above the limit of abb
ject poverty, would have brought round the
government taxgatherer with his persuasive
kourbash to wiring out the last coin for the
benefit of depleted treasury. The feliah
craving for modern comfort, not to mention
luxuries, increases with his growing pros
perity and feeling of absolute security Iron
bedsteads and woven iron mattresses have
replaced the old 'angareebs" "a sort or
couch); wooden floors have made their ap-
pearance in upper rooms; cheap European
carpets with gaudy colors take the place or
reed mats: brentwood chairs and substantial
tables provided with crockery and cutlery.

the complaint made that the oriental char

the handsome blocks of buildings being
constructed all over the country or in the
clothing and domestic life of the inhabit-
ants. And 1t is to this new people and this

A Paterna1 City

''If there Is q city in the United States
where the government IL more paternaI
than we have in Boston I'd like to know
of It," said Mr.. T. III. Anderson of the
Massachusetts metropolis at the New
Willard.
The Boston paternalism Is SO philan-
thropic that 1t Is hard to utter adverse
criticism. Where 1t will end no one can
guess, but at present the city does for its
people any number of benefactions. For
the children there are free gymnasiums
and Fairgrounds and for everybody free
bathing. The last is an especially good
sample of paternaIism. There need be no
great unwashed in Boston. Add to this
concerts. where fine music can be enjoyed
weekly without cost-winter and sum-
mer.
Our public parks are splendid and are
enjoyed to the fullest by the masses. The
workingmen may pull or their coats and
lie outstretched on the grass with no
fear that copper will come along and
shoe them away There are no keep on
the grass signs to restrain the liberty of
the public. All in all / should say that
the spirit of real democracy sits en-
throned in the old town, and the local
government does all In its power to make
the people happy"

PARIS. May 81, 1908.
With an American friend l watched the
dress parade in the Bois de Boulogne few
afternoons ago. Apropos of a slightly DIS
paraging remark of mine about the modes
OF the moment particularly displaying them
selves in the new chapeaux. she replied:
THE newest fashion is always the most be-
coming" Perhaps she was right. but !
made a mental reservation then that too
often'tt is only the mode of the moment at
the moment which is sufficient excuse for
its being at all. Fashion is more subtle
than woman herself, so why try to solve
the sphinX-iike secret?
One does feel sometimes that a woman
should never be in the fashion with any
thing but her clothes. But are not our
manners and morals every bit as subject
to the passing laws of the mode as our
wardrobe? We shake hands in a different
way each year. and certain catch words
come and go with our hats. And now 1T
is undoubtedly the fashion to be rich, If not
to appear so. Once upon time 1t was

was shifted at by the haut ton Nowadays
nobody cares how. when or where the

Just as IL is the fashion to be rich. so
II is easy for the rich who spend their
money in the right way to be fashionable.
However plain and embarrassing a woman
may be. she can easily become beautiful
and accomplished if it is the fashion to
say she is. Let her name be mentioned
in the papers, her photograph displayed
often enough, and, behold, she can have
her little day if she is patient, pushing and
stupid enough to become the fashion; Ihe
greatest misfortune. that can befall one
is to be cleVer-that is to say, sufficiently
clever to see what the rest of the world
really is and what it is necessary to be-
come in order to be successful.
The broad road to fashionable success
is TO be seen in the Rue de la Paix, stop
ping at the best ateliers en- route, and,
when the costumes are selected, wearing
them as if TO the manner born, for don't
you know that it is a physical impossi-
bility for some women to avoid the adver
Using of their new clothes? And this is
defect by no means monopoliZed by those
with whom changes are few and far be-

store for US this summer, we will appear
at most outdoor functions In coats or wraps
of some description. There are any num-
Der of jaunty coat suits of thin fabrics and
dainty little lace and linen separate coats,
but 1t is to the separate coat of loose three
quarter and half lengths that especially
refer. Lace and linen are the materials
used either combined in the same model or
carried out alone. The interesting develop
ment about these summer coats is the Cir
cular effect below the waist. Everything
springs out at the hips, and now the coat
that outlines the figure in the back is not
correctly cut. The linen coats are elabo-
rately braided, inset with lace and en-
broidery and a stunning model looks ex-
actly like checkerboard with squares of
antique lace set in.
The new empire coat, which is the red
ingote in its most perfected form. is going
to be the smartest of all summer wraps.
This style of coat fits well over the bust,
hangs halfway between the knees and the
ground and has under the arms a wide,
fitted belt, fastened directly at the bust.
The sleeves are usually three-quarter
length. The redingote is made of light
weight colored cloth, pongee silk, linen or
coarse lace lined with chiffon or silk net.
