CRISIS YET TO COME
PEACE ENJOYS AGREE UPON
+, FIRST THREE ARTICLES.
Both Powers to Evacuate Manchur,a
and Chinese Eastern Railway Be.
low Hardin to Be Coded to China.
SakhaIin May Cause Rupture.

Portsmouth, N. H., Aug. 15.-Al-
though very rapid progress was made
with the peace negotiations, three of
the twelve articles which constitute
the japanese conditions of peace hav-
ing been agreed to by M. White and
Baron Rosen on behalf of Russia,
neither OF the two articles to which
M. White, in his reply, returned an
absolute negative, was reached. The
crisis, therefore, is still to come. 1t
may be reached this afternoon, as the
cession of Sakhalin comes fifth in the
list. The three articles, as they are
officially designated in the brief COM
munications authorized to be given
to the press, which were disposed of,
are, in substance, as follows:
First-Russia's recognition of ia
pans "preponderating influence" and
special position in Korea, which Rus
STA henceforth agrees is outside of her
sphere of influence, Japan binding
herself to recognize the suZerainty of
the reigning family, but with the right
to give advice and assistance to i'm
prove the civil administration of the
empire.
Second-Mutual obligation to evac-
uate Manchuria, each to surrender all
special privileges in that province,
mutual obligation to respect the ter
ritorial integrity" of China and to
maintain the principle of equal op-
portunity for the commerce and in
dustry of all nations in that province
(open door,.
Third-The cession to China of the
Chinese Eastern railroad from Har-
bin southwark.
There was never any question about
the acceptance on the part of M. Witte
of these articles" the first two COW
ering in more emphatic form the con-
tentions of Japan in the diplomatic
struggle which preceded hostilities.
The third is a natural consequence of
the result of the war. The cession OF
the railroad, the building Of which
cost Russian an immense sum, esti-
mated by some at between 100000,
900 and s2O0,O0O,000, is to China. ia
pan and China, therefore, will arrange
between themselves the method by
which the former is to be remunerated
and through this financial operation
Japan might have a very considerable
portion of her claim for the expenses
Of the war liquidated.
Both sessions of the conference are
described as "amicable." There were
several slight jars, but none of them
serious. The plenipotentlaries are
showing admirable temper. The
change in the weather may be partial
ly responsible for the serenity mani
tested at the conference table, but it

said that they would die If they didn't
get it,
''Bosh! What our old cat wants is q

Of the old man who comes along here
every week selling it," said Mrs. Bow

for him next Wednesday,"
Are you an idiot, or do you take me
for one?"

is there to call for such vigorous Ian

he wants catnip."
''Well, what Of it?"
What Of it? Are you trying to
make me believe that because some
idiot named a certain plant catnip
cats like it or must have it? Don't
attempt to get funny, Mrs. Bowser."
Cats love catnip, and everybody
knows it," she replied your mother
used to raise it for her cats, and you
ought to remember that she did. Would
a man come along here selling the
plant every week if cats didn't love
it?"
And | say that catnip is medicinal
No human being ever saw cat taste
of it or ever will. You might as well
look for them to eat thistles or hay.
When woman Of your age will be-
lieve such stuff and nonsense It's no
wonder l find clothespins scattered all
over the place and have to figure on
how long can keep out of the poor
house. Catnip! Catnip! I'll catnip
that old cat IL he gives another YELL"
Mrs. Bowser realized that argumen.
would be of no avail, and she had read
page or two In magazine when Mr..
Bowser returned to the attack. He
wanted that catnip question settled

tied in his favor
You have made certain statements

hundreds Of women who will not wear
the short dancing frocks.
The short dress, the dress that
swings clear of the floor. is intended
for a certain build of woman. 1t is
meant for the woman who is not too
tall. The very tall woman looks posi-
lively funny in very short gown.
On the other hand the very short Wo-
man looks just as odd.
1T takes a woman of medium
height, built slenderly. to wear the
short dancing skirt and look well in it.
I'VE made such a gown recently for
Miss Colgate, daughter of the Countess
of STAFFORD Miss Colgate is very tall
and very slender. The gown was not
success. and had to be remodeled. The
same dress upon the svelte Duchess of
Marlborough would have been charming
But this brings me back to the new
materials of the season and to the new
ways Of making them. And must say
that the field opened up is a wide one
and capable of a yariegated treatment
The number Of new stuffs Is SO great.
and the ways in which they are used
| are SO many, that one hesitates to tell

stuff and fitted off to the work room
where they were at work upon yards
and yards Of other stuff resembling this
vastly in pattern and texture It seems
as though all stuffs were either gayIy
figured or plentifully bef1owered.
1t can be stated as general rule that
the evening dresses, the dance gowns
the handsome reception frocks for even
ing wear are to be thin They are not
gauzy by any means, but they are
heavier than the chiffons and they are
considerably weightier than the tulIes
The best materials are those that have
some body, yet are not thick

handsomest of brocaded silks are spread

There are blue brocades which are posi-

lights that are thrown across them

A Handsome Brocaded Gown.

II would advise every bride" said a
modiste who gets UP a great many
bridal costumes, "to have one hand
some dress of brocade. 1t is an old
material now new again and it pos
sesses many advantages over other
etuRs, one being that It is always ele-
CANT. AS long as there is a piece Of it
left IT can be turned TO good account.
A handsome silvered brocade which
cost much less than one would suppose
was made IN a very new style. The
sleeves were plated at the arm hole and
were cut off wide at the elbow, where
they were finished with O. little putting.
The undersleeves were Of the very same
brocade and were SO arranged that they
could be removed TO make short sleeves
should the wearer desire short sleeves.
The skirt was built on old-fashioned
lines. 1t was laid in plaits at the belt,
was very full around the figure and was
| trimmed with chiffon puffings. Around
| the foot there was a blue chiffon flounce.
! 1t is very fortunate that the gowns OF
| the season can be easily constructed
This gives woman an opportunity tc
| buy her dress goods and make up the
| frock herself, and some wonderfully
good results are obtained in this man

Secret of a Handsome Frock.

It is one of New York S fashion leaders
who saws: Have your skirts and IN
ings fitted before you venture &C try on
a new gown" And to this she adds the
opinion that there is no such thing as
a handsomely fitted gown unless the
petticoat is fitted well at the hips.
Let your summer skirts be OF three
varieties-poplin. taffeta, and null. And,
of course. one must have muslin skirts
also But the other skirts are for nice
wear, for evenings, when one must look
ones best. and for dressy wear.
Take these skirts and have them close
~ fitted around the hips. Do not draw
them I'D with a string and do not try to
rather them around the band in any
manner, not evea by plaits or by lap
ming at the back. Have the pettieoat
dtted TO YOU and secure it down the back
with invisible fastenings, precisely as
though it were dress skirt. When you
have done this you are ready. to have
your gown fitted

By AUGUSTA PRESCOTT.

HREE new. fashion hints have
been waited from the mysterious
world wherein Dame Fashion
yields her scepter. All three are
Interesting, unique. and adaptable.
The first is that the dancing gowns
OF the summer will be of a kind that
can be worn by maid and duenna. The
plain little gown. with its shtrIings
and ruffies, viii form the keynote of
the more elaborate productions that
will appear later on.
The second item of interest appears
in that very becoming article of wear
ing apparel, the hat. Hats will be worn
for dinners and evening functions And
the very latest advice insists that hats
will be worn in the ballroom. Fancy
Lady Gay dancing the waltz with her
hat upon her head-in a ballroom in
August Yet why not? The Powered
hats in the cotillon are becoming, and
Miss Roosevelt wore beautiful hat
with a crown of little roses with a
pompadour Madras, at dance in Bos-
ton q few weeks ago.
The third item of interest relates to
the cut of the evening gown. 1t will be
a return TO the little round bodice, the
baby waist, one might say, with little
round skirt 10 keep it company. Only
this and nothing more. Yet one notices
that shoulders are broader, and that
the waist shows a return TO the wasp
like lines of long ago.
These three items are taken up by
those who are keen after the fashions
and eagerly digested They are worked
upon and used as a foundation scheme
for greater things to come. They are
the hints, the straws, the fashion items
which show which way Dame Fash
ions trend Is turning. And they en-
bic one to form a picture of the ball
room scenes that are sure to con1e-th'
tight little waist, the wide shoulder
and the spreading skirts.
The paragraph regarding the swee
simplicity of the summer must be takel
with many grain of salt. The simpl
