cent of raw silk as a good crop.


All silk experts agree that Chinese
silk interests demand an entire reyolu-
ton in methods of production. There
seems to be no question that if. the
methods obtaining in China for MANY
centuries are TO he retained, the silk
production of the nation will decline
while, on the other hand the adoption
of modern methods OF handling the
cocoons and disposing of the product
of the worm will result in an immense
development of the silk business in
China, for reasons which readily ap-
peal to silk producers elsewhere. The
cheapness of labor and favorable
climate are perhaps the strongest ele-
ments in the silk situation of China.
They are certainly very powerful
elements, but SO long as the greater
portion of Chinese silk production
comes from Keeling machines and
looms of rough, rude and apparently
inefficient sorts it is difficult to bring
ones self to expect that it will amount
to much in competition with the
science, inventiveness and wonderful
facilities of the silk-producing nations
of the west.

CHINESE SILK CULTURE,

cine-some Progress Recently.
Consular Report from China-It is
CT more than mere business signifi-
canoe that the silk trade OF China,
once the greatest in the world, fer
centuries the controlling factor in the
trade in fine fabrics the world over,
and until a comparatively few years
ago one of the objects of romantic
and speculative interest among many
peoples and in many lands, has come
to the parting Of the ways. There is
abundant evidence at hand that the
silk trade of the middle kingdom has
reached critical point in it's history
and it remains to be seen whether the
Chinese will seize their present oppor-
tunity to establish that business, as
we'll as others upon a modern and
economically sound basis, or whether
they will suffer it still to further de-
cline until it Becomes more and more
a local industry for local markets. At
present the trade is in a transitional
state. For number Of years COM
petition from abroad has been felt
keenly and the comparative decline in
China's silk buiness has been steady.
There has been an increase in the
amount of waste silk produced and ex-
ported, but competition has so affect
ed the market for the finer grades of
the product that Chinese merchants
have been forced to appreciate the
fact that there is something essential
ly the matter with their economic
methods or business situation. In
view of ready markets, cheap transpor-
tation and other favorable elements,
they have not been able to explain
their position as due to other causes
than cut-of-date methods of production
and manufacture. A favorable eli
mate and reliable labor cheaper than
any other nation can expect to furnish

FULFlLM EMIT.

The long-houred night wore on, made
strange with grief
To one who walked amidst the dark
with questionings.
Dawn came; a spirit voice with prom.
Use of relief
Babe him go forth to paths he loved
where morning wings
Were lifting free of darkness for the
days new fight,
And earth in reverent waking bathed
herself in light.
A presence waited mere; he wandered
not alone:
(They lonely walk whose friends in
guise of flesh appear)
Here was great mystery of mighty
forces shown
In silent growth, in far-off cloud, in
dew-drops near,
In soft, pervading beauty of this Sab
bath hour;
The fragrant peace, the lavish bloom,
the hidden power.
Held not this dawn for him some kind
ly brooding care,
Some meaning in the summer life re
splendent here?
This varied bloom, this light. these
hues dfvinely fair:
Why this mysterious round repeated
year by year,
If not for one great scheme, to uphold
one ideal,
One perfected, supreme, true beauty to
reveal
What is thy message, Earth, a soul de-
mands to know,
If not thine own perfection to triumph
and endure?
IT'S beauty ultimate which each new
year would show,
And in repeated blossoms seeks to
make more sure.
But here are broken buds!" he cried,
and stopped to where
There lay upon his path spray sur
passing fair.
'Ah, what of these, now shall their life
perfection see?
An what shall profit All if this go un-
fulfilled?"
Then spake the voice his soul could
hear, "Tnese are for thee;
And thou shalt patient be and let thy
grief be stilled;
And thou shalt mark how tenderlv the
Father keeps
Some special gift, some message for
the one who weeps."
He took with reverence the rhododen>
dron spray;
Rose-fushed, it breathed new life be-
Meath his care.
UnfOlded for him full perfection day
by day;
Rejecting power divine in which it's
life had share.
Each day some fresner charm was to
its beauty lent,
Though far from parent stock and old
environment.
A fitting likeness mere he hopefully
could trace
To mis- fair vanished mower. This bios
som sweetly told
OF That whose life had found a new
abiding place
Oh, will not that dear bud as glorious
ly unfold,
That possibility so lately come to
birth,
Though once like t1lis it mingled with
the dust of earth?
Did not the Master in his passing find
that flower,
And seeing, grieve, and lift with ten
derest hand
And cause that it revive by his I'M
failing power,
And into full perfection evermore ex-
That love, and grace, and beauty-which
had here a shrine?
Find all fulfilled the promise of it's life
divine?

American Women Design for French
Market,

1t may be news TO many, and news of
pleasant sort, that much of the designing
now made use of in foreign china manu-
factories is done by American women. The
foreign makers of table china from France.
Germany, etc, have agents in New York
all the time whose duty 1t is to buy china
designs made by American women They
buy a single plate. cup OF pitcher, or an en-
tire set of dishes, and take 1t back to their
own factories. From these designs thou
sands of sets of dishes are made and sent
to this country, where they are sold with
all the eclat of being imported goods.
At first glance, this would suggest great
advance In American decorative art. since
1t would seem to indicate that the French
markets recognize American superiority in
this branch of art, but on thinking 1t over
one cannot help wondering whether 1t Is
not a shrewd scheme of the French manu-
facturers to get an inside line on Amert-
can taste. Probably their own designs have
been found to be too simple and correct for
our more bourgeoise taste.

had very large brim and a soft draped
crown. The crown was high and rather
large, being much higher on the right side.
The brim, very wide and shaped gracefully,
was without trimming. the velvet being put
on plain The only trimming on the hat
was huge pink bird at the left side Of the
front. whose head was fastened to the edge
or the brim and whose wings and tail stood
up over the left side of the crown.
An exceedingly attractive toque OF rather
softer shape than most OF those seen this
season was of cherry colored velvet. The
crown was made of soft folds of the velvet,
very full, and pulled over the narrow round
ed brim of the toque at the right side so
that the velvet came down on the hair in
a soft fold. The brim was covered entirely
with a bandeau of feathers. Two wings
forming the sole trimming of the toque
were placed at the left side of the back,
slanting outward.

These are the only hats thus far seen
which have any lace trimming. They are
full and soft in the crown and have brims
of gathered lace ruffles, gathered taffeta or

WRAP of some kind is absolutely

has devised no end of smart and at
tractive models that are suitable for this
purpose and that are appropriate to be
worn in the day and also in the evening.
For driving, for motoring and, In fact,
for any occasion when an extra garment
Is needed there are this season to be found
so many well-cut and smart-looking wraps,
short and long. that for the moment it al
most seems as though the two-piece cos
tune OF skirt and jacket were hardly nee
essary.
This, however. Is a faIlacy, because no
one can get on without the coat and skirt
costume in these days and the wrap Is
merely an additional garment that is al
ways useful. Fortunately now II is most
attractive, for while all enveloping, still
x Is not the same cumbersome, ungainly
thing that II was two or three seasons ago.
Undoubtedly motoring has had a great
deal to do with the fact that there are so
many different styles of coats and wraps
that are fashionable at the present mo-
ment II is absolutely essential that there
shall be some garment that will slip on
easily over a heavy gown or another coat
to protect the weareT from dirt and dust,
and yet at the same time will not be in
itself hideous make the wearer look
like a fright.
Both the designers and makers of clothes
seem to have realized this fact. and con-
sequently have turned out a lot of attrac-
tive garments of this description. The
long, loose1tting coat has now SOME lines
to recommend it-lnes that indicate a fig
ure instead Of being shapeless, lines that
give length and s!endernes instead of
breadth and thickness. and which smart

and are effective whether trimmed plain
Pongee is hardly heavy enough to wear
in cooler weather unless the very heavy
quality be used, but as merely an outer
garment il is useful until late IN the au-
tumn The different ways IN which cloth
OF any other material is made waterproof
makes the rubber or rubber finished silk
coat very smart until late in the season.
Plain blue, red and white are preferred
for these latter fabrics
Fur coats are worn very early in the
season. but they are thought to be too
heavy and 1t IS considered mistake TO
put them on before really cold weather sets
In. However. a model for any one of the
fashionable cloth wraps of the present mo-
ment will serve equally well for fur later
on.
A garment that is a combination, as it
