Casasus May Retire.

Ever since the serious Illness of the MeXi-
can ambassador. Mr.. Casasus, last year It
has been rumored that he probably would
not stay in Washington long. and the opin
ion seems to prevail now in diplomatic cir
cles that the ambassador will soon surren-
der his post ana return to his law practice
in Mexico. At present he is in Europe. " here
he has been under treatment at watering
places for several months. 1t is known that
Mr.. CaSasuS does not care particularly for
diplomatic life. and because of the condition
of his health would prefer to be in a less
severe climate than that OF Washington.
Although Mr.. Walker Martinez. the Chile
an minister. has not formally resigned his
post. it Is well understood that he will not
return to Washington from Chile where he
is at present looking after property inter
ests which We're affected by the earth
quake. Nobody has been mentioned Yet as
his successor. but "A new charge. Alberto
Yoacham. arrived in Washington a few
days ago to look after Chilean interests.
Representation of Colombia.
Enrique Cortez. the new Colombian min
lister, will be formally presented to the
President in a few days. and after many
breaks In its representation Colombia will
again have full legation staff in Washing
ton. Pomponio Guzman comes to Washington
as the new first secretary of the legation. and
Eduardo Perez Trianl. the present first
secretary will leave Washington in short
time to become secretary to the London le-
cation of Colombia.
Jose Rosa Pacas. the new minister from
Salvador and Honduras, was recently
ceived by the President, and for the first
time in number of years those two Gen.
trail American republics have ministerial
representation at Washington. Rumors that
the Costa Rican minister, Joaquin Bernardo
Calvo. would not return to Washington
have been quoted by letters received from
him, announcing that he expects to arrive
in Washington from Central America about

ing in the drawing of the treaty of friend
ship and commerce growing out of the arbi-
tration of the differences between Guatama-
Ia Honduras and Salvador. He has been in
Washington longer than any of the other
La tin American diplomatists, and recently
the opinion has prevailed that he will soon
give up diplomacy and return to Costa

Square Styles in Best Taste.

even for the use Of youngsters. for the en-
velopes are only about one and a half
inches square. while the sheets are a trifie
less than three inches square, or just large
enough to fit smoothly in the envelope after
being folded once. The flaps on these en-
velopes are long and pointed, reaching al
most to the bottom.
A few styles Of the mottled note papers
have oblong envelopes with flaps in which
there are two or three curved scallops.
These are decidedly pretty and will prob
ably be more used by little girls than the
square shapes, though the latter have a
smarter appearance. The envelopes are
abou. two inches long and an inch wide,
while the sheets that fold once are a bit
less than four inches long, and q trffle
under two inches in width.
The note paper that is decorated with
childlike designs to please and interest
youngsters is much larger than the nov

HINTS FOR OUTFITS
FOR COLLEGE GIRLS
Written for The Star by Mrs. A. T. Ashmore.

Written for The Star by Mrs. A. T. Ashmore.
The majority Of girls now starting or
for boarding school or college must have
their entire winter outfit ready before
commencing the first term, although. OF
course, the girl living near town or who
goes to school In large city can procure
many of the necessary costumes after she
is settled for the winter. Even for these
girls however. it Is we'll to have prepared
to take away at first as complete a ward
robe as possible, for shopping or constant
tailor and dressmaking appointments are
scarcely consistent with hard study, de-
lightful as tho girl will fnd anything to
break the first tedious monotony
The important part Of the school girls
outfit Is her everyday dress that Is to be
worn in the class room and on the regular
walks-that Is. II the school Is IN q city.
The best suit for the purpose Is a heavy.
dark CLOTH made with short circular or
plated skirt and simple, weu-ftting
Jacket, and then there should be at least
same as the skirt. for cold weather, and
a lighter bodice of silk or washable fam
mel to wear when lined waist would be
uncomfortably warm. All the waists should
little white lace or embroidery as possible.
The silk bodice Is prettiest finished simply
with embroidered linen or lingerie collar
and cuffs that are only buttoned or basted
neat The cloth waist should also be made
quite simply. with just q little lace or en-
broidery at the throat and wrists. and this
also put In in such way that 1t can easily
be replaced. One or two wash flannel waists
and perhaps Just few heavy linen bodices
to be worn for the first month or six weeks
will be all that is nece ssary for the autumn
and winter.
pretty plaid dress Of coloring that har-
monies with the shade of the cloth suit
will be found attractive for the school
room and a relief instead Of wearing the
one suit day in and day out. Even for the
college girl this dress should be made
short, with full plated skirt. and the waist
must have long sleeves
For afternoon and for Sundays a smart
suit Of corduroy, velveteen light cloth
is necessary. II the girl has graduated
to long skirts this afternoon costume may
be long or walking length. as desired al

the prett.est quaintest work Imaginable
called '.Biedermaier," after the artist who
invented it.
Both the work of the empire and the
fascinating embroidery characteristic OF
Marie Antoinette's day, and beloved by the
queen herself are reflected In it. In a
way, it is but TIE German crystallization
of those French ideas. yet none the less
original and charming for all that.
All of IT, work Is done upon particular
kind of .en-caued Bierdermaier, too
that Is German homespun and is never
quite beached, go that instead of being
sharply white It Is creamy tint that
makes an exquisite background for the
coloTS.
The designs themselves make the fingers
of a needlewOman fairly tinge to get at
them. Baskets of fruit are set primly
down to the corners of tablecoyers with
trim sprays of blossoms and leaves and
long lines set IN sampler fashion about
them. An orange or pomegranate tree Is
made round and conventional as the
famous box tree of Washingtons day and
or crimson.
And vases-the graceful shapes of Italian
and Pompeilan vases are chosen for it
are done in outlining, the flowers they hold
made solid and as gray in color as they
are small in size.
There's never any crowding of design. nor
any unpleasant clashng Of color. Indeed,
so carefully are the combinations of color
considered that many piece Is stamped In

introduced, was so often the case with
the Jewel work of a few years ago-that

work of today, which is done by embroider-
Ing bits of glass Of different colors into

That. alas! is forcing its way into an
Americanzed version OF Biedermaier work
the delicate, beautiful idea of the original
reproduced, more crudely, by means Of
those bits of glass. While it minimizes the
work, II coarsens the idea. AS yet. 1t
hasn't reached the pieces made for table
use. for, fortunately. these jewel pieces
won't launder we'll, and that Is the first
requisite of table linen.
The prettlsst centerpieces are oval in
shape-that, by the way, Is characteristic Of
all the newest centerpieCes. no matter what
sort of embroidery they are designed for.

A Very Old Doll.

Do you know that over two hundred
years ago big ship went out to America
with a passenger on board whose &C.
quaintanoe you could still make If you
were in that country?
And what do you think that passenger
was? A doll.
The ship on which It sailed was one in
which an Englishman. William Penn went
to America. He had been there before,
and while he was back at home he told
his little girl that the children in the
country he had been visiting had no toys
at all
She was so very sorry for them that she
asked her father to take at least one doll
out and give 1t to some little girl there,
says Home Chat.
1t was a very grand doll. with dress
of velvet and brocade; and. after all this
time 1t is still kept carefully, to be shown
now and then to American children.

Besides the gowns here mentioned there
are always the extra waists and coats to
be thought of, and each suit must have its

poor taste to At out q school girl elabor-

almost all the lines which divide the design
into set parts are outlined with one or the
other, or in a good, strong, rather deep
green. And coral pink finds place on
almost every piece.
Practically no shading is done, but the
leaves of a spray the petals OF a flower
may be worked, one in each Of several
shades of the color
Little or no padding is done. although
the stitches are set so close that the en-
broidery stands out very well. Outlining,
French knots and the over-and-over form
Of solid embroidery are the three stitches
used, except for the silhouettes, which are
done in true Kensington stitch.
An exception to the no-padding rule Is IN
the case Of those pretty little trees. Then
the oranges or pomegranates are always
padded, 30 as to give them that prettilY
rounded look.
There is one mistake to guard against
with Biedermaier work, and that Is to see
that it Is used with the right china There
is a quaint old lowered china that Is
stunning with it, but unless you can have
that use the simpler gold and white china
anything that Is not absolutely opposite in
character. Dresden or Chinese medaliion
ware, for instance, would both. dissimilar
as they are utterly destroy the quaint
charm Of the embroidery.
Biedermaier adapts itself well to almost
every sort of purpose that embroidery Is
put to; pillow tops. bureau sets. work bags,
table covers and the prettiest centerpieces
and doilies-all may be made most effec-
tive by Its use. The pattern gwen 10 the

finished square should not measure less
than twenty-six inches and 1t may be made
a yard wide.
Lay impression paper over the linen and
the pattern on that and go over the lines
with a hard pencil. Repeat the design in
each corner.
Make the centers of the blossoms OF

stray nape locks
Side combs are quite out of date but one
really handsome high comb of Spanish or

partly a support and partly as a finish
to the coil Without some such addition the
high couture looks rather incomplete and IL
apt to slip out Of place. When worn with q
low couture the comb Is placed Immediately
above the coil or braid. Usually. however.
the comb Is omitted when the hair is dress
ed low. With the latter style of hair dress
ing the front hair may either be parted

Among the new hair ornaments are so
many dainty and artistic devices that the
woman with a weakness for looking her
best will find it hard to resist them. Ex-
ceptionally pretty for evening wear are the
glttering moths and dragon files of span
gled gauze, one of which-apparently poised
lightly on the hair, but in reality fastened
lnvisibly with shell hairpin-imparts a
charming piquancy to the simplest toilet.
Then there are coquettish little bows OF

SIMPLE sACHETs.

After covering the sachet with its silk

be tackled or tufted with baby ribbon in

these sachets, and generally woman will
have in tho house some pretty bits Of silk
that can be utilized in this fashion. ,=
Compromising these sweet powders seems
quite feminine task and II one that any
woman can accomplish. One of the sim
plest methods of making a good sachet Is
powder, which Is the basis Of all sachets,

of cypress powder. eight parts of orrts root,
three parts OF coriander seed. one part each

each OF cassia, cloves. musk seed. sandal
wood. Each day tho ingredients should

Some women prefer heiiotrope to violet
and to obtain this scent take half pound
of rose petals one-quarter pound of tonka
beans, one pound of orris root, one eighth
pound of vanilla. one dram Of musk and
eight grains of Oil Of bitter almonds.
Another fragrant sachct which. It Is said.
may be used as a cosmetic powder for the
