THE
THE
NEW YORK WORLD
THRICE-A-WEEK EDITION.
Read Wherever the English Language
il Spoken.

The Thrce-a-Week World was a brilliant
success in the beginning and has been
steadily growing ever since. Time is the
test of all things, and has set its seal of APP
proval on the Thrice-a- Week World, which
is widely circulated in every State and Ter
ritOry of the Union, and wherever there are
people who can read our mother tongue
This paper for the year 1908, will make
its news service, if possible, more extern
sive than ever. All events of importance,
no matter where they happen, are reported
accurately and promptly.
The subscriber, for only one dollar year
gets three papers every week and more
news and general reading than most great
dailies can furnish at five or six times the
price.
The Thrice-a-Week World is absolutely
fair in its political news. Partisan bias is
never allowed to affect its news columns,
and Democrat and Republican alike can
obtain in its pages truthful accounts of all
the great political campaigns.
In addition to all the news, the Thrice-a-
Week World furnishes the best serial fiction,
elaborate market reports and other features
of interest.
The Thrice-a-Week Worlds regular sub.
scription price is only $1.0O per year and
this pays for 1856 papers. We offer this un-
equaled newspaper and The SMYRNA TIMES
together one year for $1.75. The regular
subscription price of the two papers is 81. 90

A SklIIiuI ComblnalIon OF Color

is now the ambition of the designers
in branches of the sartC ri Il art, and
millinery oftentimes shows the inter
mixture of six or seven shades. 1t is
not unusual to see four clusters of
grapes, each of a different hue on a
colored beaver, or blue ribbon and
pink and crimson roses on black hat.
Just now, it seems as if the large hat
carried the day, but they will at all
events be foremost for dressy wear.
In all high class millinery houses, out
OF ten hats eight are large. This is an
important fact, as large ones are mo re
expensive. Chicken feathers now re-
place. the peacock plumage of the
Spring, and is equally absurd Massed
at the side ola handsome hat, they are
termed stylish.

THE LATEST NEW YORK FASHIONS.
Stylish Materials, Trimmings, Ribbon, Velvet,
Passemeuterle, ClOaks, Large Hats.

Passementerie, ClOaks, Large hats.
A search through attics or longfor
gotten ''put-away places" may reveal
treasures that can now be utilized, as
almost every material except crepon
is in demand. In silks, plain, dotted,
striped, figured, changeable, checked
or plaided, all are stylish, aud the
greater variety of colors combined,
the more desirable. If not enough for
waist, straps across the shoulders
Tin bretelle or suspender style) over a
thin waist, such as dotted net, plain
net sheer embroidery or lace, is the
very latest idea for evening waists. An
epaulet falling on the arm may be
made in any way that looks
we'll, and a belt of similar material
keeps the straps and epaulet in proper
position.
Black Ribbon Velvet
as if in revenge for long neglect, trims
dresses, waists, neck fixtures, and for
purpose mentioned just above, is singu
larly attractive. The straps connected
by black silk cord, or very narrow vel
vet ribbon. Colored velvet is equally
desirable for this purpose. Black lace,
with handsome edge over silk dotted
net falls in with the still prevailing
fancy for black and white. Batiste
embroidery threatens to rival lace, and
as elbow sleeves are still universal
with dressy waists, the quantity of
material required is considerably
lessened. Ribbon of every hue and
pattern may trim hat, form wristlets
and bows OH elbow sleeves, or if
lowered, make high belt. or bit of
plaided silk cut moderate width and
hemed is the newest neck-tie.
Braid And Passementerie
of all descriptions are in style, and a
short suit jacket is often trimmed with
braid, while the skirt is plain. Colored
embroidery (machine made) in a mar
row band on the front of a sombre
waist or jacket gives the garment an
entirely different air, and clusters oil
rows of small gilt, enameled or steel
buttons lend efficient aid. Plaided
braid is novelty, but should be used
with discretion, as is the case with
gilt braid, as an overplus of either re.
suits in a gaudy effect. Folds of an
other material are often seen on ex
pensive costumes, aud of lace there is
no limit to it's variety.
Cloaks Are Long
and show no radical difference frCn
last winter. Much braiding or passe
menterie trimming is used i'll the back
and sometimes lace, but braid is newer
therefore more popular. They are il

young persons, or may be used TO

they spend" In a congress devoted
solely to discussions of commercial
affairs, it was gratifying to receive
from a South American a spiritual
value placed on trade. The true Lat
in-American spirit was interpreted to
the congress when Senior Enrique
Cortes, minister from Colombia, said:
my view and my hope is that
wealth will be vanquished in it's
struggle against spirituality, and that
this country, which has been SO rich
in surprises to the world, will in the
1uture, at no distant time, u
the heretofore unknown attitude of a
becoming the %upholder of the
high principles of morality and the
of justice, love, and good will,
not only in a political and admins
trative way, but likewise in its inter-
national relations. BY assuming that
position, | believe this great nation
will attain a point of real greatness
entirely unknown in the history of
the world, and that, indeed, it will
carry the posterity of the nation to a
point unknown in the history of great
nations of ancient and modern times.
The United States will never have
cause to complain of the accumula-
ton of too much justice and too

have too much wealth.
1t would be worth all the cost of
a dozen fleets of trade ships If we
could through them import to the
United States more Of that lofty spirit
of International Patriotism-the
kind of patriotism the Trans-Missis-
sippi Congress in its frank crude,
Western way is trying to build and
foster. However near we may APP
preach these ends through ships, it
must not be forgotten that Alaska to
Patagonia it is all land. The fields
of Kansas ana Texas and the mines
OF Nevada were developed by ships.
New York and San Francisco had to
be Joined by cold ribs Of steel before
we could talk of Oriental trade. So
must the North and South continents
be united by rail before the Kansas
City prophesies can be made real.

many years under the direct super
vision of such skilled builders as Col
onel Richard C. Kerens, of St. Louis.
Davis, OF West Virginia, and
President Cassatt, of the P%ennsylva-
MIA Railroad, is clearly the next great
thing to do.
Kansas City, whose people are ia
for both hospitality and enter
prise, will now have no greater claim
to fame than that it was the birth
place of the Pan-American CONNER
