PRODUCTS OF PHILIPPINES.
Free Entry Provided Except of Sugar
and Tobacco.

Chairman Payne of the House ways and
means committee has filed the report
favoring the passage of the Curtis bill. pro-
viding for the free entry of products from
the Philippine Islands, except sugar and
tobacco on which % per cent of the Ding
ley tariff Is to be collected. The report
declares that the only logical result of our
possession OF the Islands is free trade. 1t
has been definitely settled, 1t says, that we
will retain the islands until their popula-
ton is fitted to self-government, and he
repeats Secretary Tafts suggestion that
this will be at least one generation. Until
the treaty stipulation between the United
States and Spain shall expire, in 1909. all
tariff advantages given by the islands 10
US must be given to Spain. and for this
reason reciprocal free trade is not feasible.
The present bill says the report goes as
far as is practicable under these conditions.

suffer by its enactment.

THE EVENING STAR TUESDAY FEBRUARY 2s

OF the decollete fall two long cascades or
lace. narrower at the top and growing
gradually wider as they approach the foot
of the long rose. From the sides OF Ihe
panel and just above the bottom of the
neglige this cascade turns and continues
on around the bottom Of the train
in wide fsounce that is supplemented at
the back by another one graduated to
match.
The panel front is quite plain, with the
exception of a cluster of three tucks run
across the foot. and then a space win
three more on a line with the top or the
founce trimming the bottom of the train
A ribbon confines the negllge at the
waist This is brought around from the
back. slipped under the two cascades IN
the front and is tied with long loops and
ends in the middle.
From beneath the becoming hchu the fuli
sleeve falls almost to the wrist in an irreg-
ular series of puffs. That Is, the puffs vary
in size. The upper one Is narrow and Is
brought in above the elbow under band OF
lace beading. which is run with black veivet
ribbon. Then the lace swells out again
and is gathered below the bend or the arm
under another lace band run with black
velvet, while on the bottom is a deep founce
of lace that comes up and ends on the out
side of the arm under the cross trimming.
Aside from it's novelty this neglige has
the added charm of exclusiveness. as 1t Will
not be on sale for some time at least.
Wash materials will make up charmingly
in this fashion. An all-over emproldery
done on a thin batiste could be effectively
substituted for the foundation of lace. and
wherever chiffon Is used in the accompany
ing sketch fine batfste or organdy would
look we'll There is no doubt about the
Tubing qualities of such a costume. for
batiste lends itself admirably to this mode
of renovation.
An accordion-pleated neglige of pale blue
mousseline would be charmingly made with
a very broad cape collar of lace coming
down in point both back and front. Across
the back and over the curve OF the shout
dars should be a broad piece of black velvet
ribbon run so that 1t comes down in
point in 'front.' tying in a knot at the waist.

OF INTEREST TO WOMEN

"The men of Lambeth should be protected
from the wiles of designing widows with
large families said Rev. Walter Hobbs in
making a somewhat singular proposal at
meeting of the Lambeth board of guardians.
He suggested that the guardians should not
take the children of widows into their poor
law school at Norwood, but should allow
the widows sufficient out-relief TO enable
them TO keep their offspring at home In
many cases, he said, widows, after getting
their children into school, made eyes at
men, and after their marriage surprised
them by introducing several children whom
the guardians felt justified In turning over
to the care of their stepfather. The board
declined to agree to Mr.. Hobbs proposal

ire of editors of prominent italian papers,

ferred to wait until the education IN poIlte-
ness of the Italians has been Completed!
One paper exclaims: This is little too
muchi Because the San Carlo did not
always open their season on st. stephen

Italian nation of discourtesy and wishes to

reservations? And when the best Italian
artists go TO the French capital what hap
pens?'
The French actress said that she hoped
the lesson she had given would be under

Blouses for the summer are to be even
more elaborate and rich with hand work
than they have been. The models that
have already made their appearance give
evidence of this fact, and naturally the cost
of these Indispensable trifies in the summer
wardrobe are more and more beyond the
reach of any but the very wealthy. Many
of the sleeves are wide and quite plain, and
instead of the elbow length cuffs we have
been wearing all winter these sleeves are
made with narrow bands fastening snugly
at the wrist.
Bretelles and shoulder straps are seen on
the majority of these new blouses, for they
are evidently intended to be worn with
whole costumes. in which case the straps
and bretelles will be taken off and others
put on of the gown material or trimming.
