Liberal Party Does Not Like Rural
 Guard IncFease.
 Havana. March 16.--The Liberal par ty has protested officially to Governor Magoon against the proposal made by Secretary Taft to increase the rural guard of Cuba to 10000 men.
 The principal objection is that the members of the rural guard are con stantly in contact with the people and often are detailed to carry out the laws. Their present strength is suf- ficient for police duties. An. increase would mean excessive vigilance, which would result in irritation among the people.
 The Liberals suggest that instead of auRmenting the rural guard. a regu- lar army may be established. this army to be 1000 strong and keeping a garrison carefully drilled for the pur- pose of repelling invasion or putting down insurrection.
 The plan for an army submitted by the Liberal party provides an annual expenditure for maintenance of s4.71s,- 000

Mrs. George w. Hecker, lady inter-
ested in philanthropfc work, who was
for almost a year special deputy for
the department. Mrs Hecker is the
second woman in the United States to
receive such an appointment. 1t was
her efficiency during her year Of I'M
paid work that led the state factory
inspector, Jesse W. Skies, to retain
her permanently on his staff. AS Mrs.
Hecker says, a woman has way of
getting the truth out of the women
and children working under prohibited
conditions that no man can hope to
rival. Before joining the factory in
spector's staff Mrs. Hecker was active
in tie work of the Missouri Humane
association and is the devoted friend
Of every abused animal and child in
the city Of St. Louis. She is herself
woman of independent means. Pre-
vious to her regular appointment she
gave away to the poor as much as the
state will now pay her.

The Season For Variation In Reign.
ing Styles.


Just now it is between seasons, and
about the only new things to be found
are the variations on the bretelle or
jumper suits, and there are too many
of these to be profitable, so far as CIV
ing a complete description of them is
concerned but a few may be spoken
of ID particularly as most wom-
en- make these for themselves. There
are some made of Persian vesting
bound with some kind of fancy braid.
Others are of the ever beautiful chene
ribbon with the vague designs, but
these are not for ordinary outdoor
wear. They are for the decoration of
the dainty white frocks to be worn at
garden parties, on the piazzas of sum.
mer hotels and also for evening. ORR
entail embroidery finds place on some
Of them, while others are made entire
" Of messaline draped surplice fashion
over the dress they are intended to or
nament. Some very stylish ones are
made Of co3rsa white linen embroid-
cred in heavy relief. The edges are
scalloped. and the tracery of vine or
flower is done in the wider spaces.
The belt should be Of the same mate
rial and should be embroidered to
match with the edges scalloped.
The new fancy is for a kind of semi
kimono effect in the sleeves of some of
the prettiest jackets, coats and modi-
fed empire design. There is little
beauty or grace to these sleeves, as they
hang in lines altogether at variance
with any idea of fitness. Imagine a
short jacket where the garment itself
is small and scanty, with sleeves hang
ing down and starting in at about two
inches above the waist line. This
makes them baggy and altogether IN
lovely, yet we find many of them, the,
long coats carrying them better than
the short ones.
The amount of ornament in the form
Of lace, embroidery and fine braiding
that can be added to these garments is
astonishing. Some of the sleeves have
deep caps, which are really frills set
just over the arm scye and allowed to
droop over the sleeve. These have en-
broidery, braiding and in fact all sorts
of trimming, many Of them being ar
ranged to lie along in folds like the
folds of kimono at the neck. Elbow
or long sleeves may be worn with
these fancy caps.
AS to hats, no pen can do them JUS
tice. They are so very ugly in them
selves that all the beautiful garniture-
set upon or built in under them fails to
make them lovely. And each takes the
angle that the wearer may find most
becoming. Thus we see hats set side
wise, turned back, to one SIDE or the
other, bent into fittings, mashed down
fat or curled up into half a dozen
folds. Some really deserve the ridicule
put upon them by the funny artists
who hang the hat to the very back of
the head. Some have fruits, others
flowers, and many have very clever

The Country Woman's Advantage.

Now, there is no doubt that house
keeping in hot weather is about the
most trying work that could be de
vised. Wash day, ironing day, baking
day and sweeping day have terrors
enough of their own in cool weather
but when their tasks must be done in
a broiling temperature they are labors
fit for Hercules. The farmers wife,
who is compelled to rise at daylight,
has some advantages over her town
sisters in that she can get much of
her heavy work out of the way before
the sun is high. Besides, as rule,
she lives in an airy, tree shaded house
and can take her tubs or her ironing
board outdoors, and the summer kitch-
en- is so open that even on the fiercest
baking day the hour or two spent over
the stove is not enerVating.
