The Large Towns.

1t is almost settled fact that Co

TO WORK At PANAMA

WASHINGTON. April l6.--The emf,
grafton of Chinese coolies from their
own country to Panama and Colombia
as laborers is not desired by the Chi

adTices received here. City Magis.
trate Wag at Shanghai, under the In.
struction of the viceroy of Marking.
has issued proclamation forhddiug
natives from going to Panama or Co.
lombia because these countries have
no treaty with China. 1t is announced
that any native acting for coolie con,
tractor will be severely dealt with If
discovered. 1t is believed by officials
here that the action taken In China
to discourage coolies from going to
the Isthmus is the result of advice
from Chinese merchants on the 18th
mus and in the United States that the
coolies would not be well treated as
canal laborers.

New Fashions in Ties.
From Home Chat.

From Home Chat.
During the last year or two jackets and
coats have opened lower in the front and
hitherto this has been made the opportunity
for displaying fancy waistcoat. Now the
tendency is to pay more attention to the
tie, so that during the coming season the
most noticeable feature will not be the vest
but the neckwear. For some years past
ties have been extremely simple, a plain
sailor knot or a simple bow: but this fash
ion now promises to be abolished in favor
of the large and handsome cravat.
Cravats now being made in full and
puffy styles that almost fill the opening
at the top OF the vest Gold pins-often OF
the safety-pn pattern-are worn with
these so that the new style will be well
coined by the jeweler as well the hosier
and outftter.
From the standpoint of comfort the new
style has much to commend 1t, for 1t lends
itself admirably to the soft-fronted shirt.

Wells.

A prevailing fashion in Paris is to have
heavy scroll work resembling lace all
over the wells. Women who wish to pre-
serve a deicacy of expression prefer to
wear them mostly as drapings over the
brim Of their hats and to cover the face
at the same time with plain white tulle.
To many these tulle wells are the most
becoming ones that are worn. Women
with dark hair just beginning to turn gray
are perhaps the only ones who should
avoid them assiduously. For blonde women
they especially desirable. When the
complexion is inclined to be sallow very
thin rose-colored net should be used as
backing for most black wells. French
women have now a way Of pinning their
wells around the brims or under the brims

EMBROIDERED NET GOWN

rhinestones are used all alone worked
around medallions of satin or velvet so as
not to be too scintllatng. Net is the IA
vorite material for the bead work embroid-

foundation, chiffon or mousseline de

ending with a wide border above the hem,

border effect Is carried we'll up on the skirt
with panel effect. In this model there are
small beads employed upon the upper part
of the skirt, while the border is worked in
much larger crystals formed into flowers,
leaves and stems. The heavier bead work
embroidery can then be used upon the
bodice to form surplice, bertha or what
ever style of trimming is desired, but at
the neck the embroidery must be softened
by lace or tulle. The band of soft silk or
satin about the end of the skirt is an excel
lent protection against both soiling and
tearing.
Chiffon studded with rhinestones makes
a superb evening gown. but only the tiniest
rhinestones must be employed. and these
must not be used too profusely, or the
gown will be too gaudy and theatrical to
be in good taste. The illustration shown
is Of light blue chiffon, the skirt finished
with wide border in deep blue messaline,
rhinestones being laid all about the medal
lion-like figures formed of the silk. The
darker blue is also worked in on the bodice
