The shop windows now blossom with
the thlnnest and daintiest of fabrics,
the first offerings of spring and sum
mer cottons. These patterns are of the
choicest and very often are exclusive
and not to be duplicated later. For that
reason rather high prices are usually
asked for them.
If one may judge by the first cottons
shown, the coming year Will be notable
for the number and the beauty of tub
gowns worn. The old favorltes, or
candies, dimities and fowered muslins,
are on hand, as usual. Organdies with
deep borders are sure to attract atten-
ton. The old rose designs are beauti-
ful in these bordcred patterns, and
there are many new dcsigns. One in
apple blossoms was lovely. The colors
We're green, brown and white, just
touched with bright pink, as the real
apple blossoms are. An arbutus design
was also charming.
The new glnghams are very attrac-
tive. Besides the ordinary thing, there
are silk ginghams as fine and as lus-
trous as foulards, although laundering
might somewhat diminish the gloss of
the surface. There are lace glnghams,
some Of them as sheer as net. These
are not expensive, and will make pretty
morning and house gowns.
There is new cotton volle very like
gingham in texture, which comes at n
low price. 1t is to be had in white and
nearly all common colors. The light
blue is especially good. They are ad-
mlrable for shirt waist srits.-Philadel-
phia Telegraph.

All-over embroidery constitutes many
of the handsome gowns for evening
wear.
a few of the spring coats repeat the
collarless effects Of last year, but the
majority have fiat turnover collars.
All the sheer materials that We're for
merly confined to summer are now
used for evening hose wear all win

one of the prettiest hat fashions and
one likely to be repeated next winter

This Hat is Stylish .

A round black mallnc hat is one OF
the mushroom order. This hat was
built up enormously in the back tilt
ing it far forward, and incllning it
slightly to the left on the wearer's
forehead. The under part of the brlm
OH the back and sides was filed in
with profuslon of prlmroses in many
tones of pink and dull reds. The flow
ers were without foliage. and were
crushed together in mass Of glowing

Evidently the shirt waist suit is to
be as good as ever. 1t is certainly trim
and smart and positively distinguished
as compared with skirt and waists to-
tally unrelated to each other. In
white lawn there are dainty affairs ms
fetching as they will be suitable. Fine
tucks. valenciennes lace. embroidery
and French knots are noted In the
decoration of these crisp suits. There
are cape-yoke effects and there are
straight up-and-down effects. The
skirts show only enough trimming to
keep them in countenance with the
waist.

This is silk year, and ribbons OF
great beauty are used lavishly on the
new hats. As rule they are of the
softest and most pllable silks, and are
put on. not in stiff bows. but folded
and crushed into rosettes. Several
tones of color are used in these ro-
settes, giving n hower-like effect.

ON PEACE
DELAYED

Washington, Dec. 1S.-The state depart
ment has been informed that the effort to
arrange a date for the reassmebling OF
the Hague conference has been suspended
for the time being The delay does not
arise from any indispositlon on the part
or the great powers TO accept the Russian
emperor's invitation but simply because
an important feature Of the program can
not be agreed on until the government at
switzerland has acted.
The government some time ago issued
Invitations to the powers 10 send dele
gates to convention to assemble at
Berne To consider amendments TO the Red
Cross convention. # heflrst Hague con
ference considered some topics appertain-
Ing 10 that convention, and I'm addition Il
suggested n number OF kindred topics for
consideration at the next Hague con-
ference. Some OF the governments in
vited 10 attend the second conference at
the Hague have made the point that they
are thus confronted with the possibility
Of being obliged twice To consider the
same kind OF subjects relating To Red
Cross methods. and IL has been suggested
that tho Swiss government withdraw its
Invitations TO the Independent conference
excluded from the second Hague con-
ference.
The Swiss government has So far shown
no disposition 20 abandon hs projected
conference and the effort 10 fix n date
for the second Hague conference Is con
sequently suspended.
Some indications OF n purpose on tho
part Of one or two Of tho powers 10 have

LACK OF PREPARATION.
The real leaders Of the workmen and
other proletariate organizations realizing
fully their weakness and lack OF prepara-
tion for a decisive struggle, have car
ried the day over the hot-headed strikers
and have easily convinced the majority
that It would be an irretrievable blunder
TO prostitute what they regarded as the
supreme instrument for forging a free ma
tion by using IL for a minor Issue, like
redressing the grievances Of private in
dividuals
In registering this decision they placed
themselves on record "to continue the
organization and equipment OF the fight
ing legious which the old president, Krus-
taleff, began" thus virtually furnishing
the government with evidence confirming
it's charges that articles l02 and l26 Of the

him with the misappication OF the funGs

ing a socialist paper which the govern
ment claims cannot substantiate.
The workmen's council yesterday sent
n demand TO Count Wtte for the release
OF NJ. Krustalen. Later the workmen's
delegates called on Procurator Kamsh-
ansky and demanded his release. but the
procurator refused bmntly, saying that

To this the spokesman OF the delegation
replied:
