temptation lies in wait
for every woman who loves dainty
things.
Never has there been such a
charm and variety in neckwear-and
never has it been possible. to spend
such sums for dress accessories of
this class.
Many of these pieces can easily
be made at home, in an hour or two,
ct very small cost.
Of course, there are cheap copies
of these dainty collars and ties and
rabats, copies worked out in coarse
linen and lawn that may be pur-
chased for a mere trifle.
But the fastidious woman who
hesitates at the price asked for the
daintier models either makes her
own or goes without.
The turnover hand-embroidered
collars of linen which are so dis
tinctly smart are one of the ex-
pcnsive Injuries.
Fer the imported collars distress
ing prices are asked.
Even the simplest sells for dol
lar, and the very pretty ones are
priced at from $3.50 to $3.50.
There are SUI others more ex-
pcnsive offered. By the time
woman has enough of these collars
to meet her needs-provided she
intends to wear them often-she
has spent considerable money.
Hand embroidery is, of course,
the essential detail in the majority
of these collars.
Handsome collars, with the usual
linen support, but with the turn
down part in fine Irish lace, are
modish. and look well with a deli
CalelS colOTed scarf Drawn around
them under the lace and knotted in
front.
But the average woman prefers
q Northumberland or handmade
collar in linen.
Here, too, she will find many
openwork effects. and number of
collars with very open-work en-
broidery and with insets of valen-
ciennes combined with embroidery.
Many of the French collars are
extremely high, and even the lowest
aye a 4riAe high for the short
nccEed 0tman.
The h3ALest of these collars are
usually MAZE with two buttonholes,
and a flaw often found with these
expensive ahairs is that the collar
is as large-at the top as it is at the
BOTTOM, instead of slanting to fit
tha neck, and being firmly held by
the upper buttonhole.

minishing the apparent size of the
waist by several inches.
According to the very latest de-
cree of fashion two distinct types of
waists are to be worn this winter,
those intended to accompany plain,
strictly tailored gowns and those
for wear on dressy occasions.
The first mentioned waists are of
linen. madras, fancy shifting and
pique, in white, principally. A few
white grounds with colored markings
are seen, but all white appears to
have the preference.

A woman with a small neck may blithely pur-
chase tweve-and-a-half, and take it lone and
find that it is size and half too large for her,
or she may buy thirteen and find that it meas
ures only twelve inches.
And blythe way, only few collars come in
size small twelve, but upon measurement
many of the twelve-and-a-hal collars prove but
twelves, so the woman who wears a twelve need not
despair
The part of wisdom is to find exactly how many
inches long ones collar should be, and then have
ones embroidered collar measured.

collars quite to the top and pinned invsibly there

Some women stick stubbornly to
the colors they like. irrespective of
whether or not they are becoming.
One woman whose lair, eyes and
skin are tire, different shades of
gray always wears gray. The effect
is unearthly, but not beautiful. Ten
years ago, when her eyes were
brighter than they are today and
her cheeks wero rosy, her gray bon

complexion.
Today she needs purple and deep,

Some flannel waists, in stripes,
plaids and plain colors, are shown.
In silk waists there is also a large
variety of tailormade models to be
found.
Plaids at present are particularly
smart, and a good many stripes are
worn.
Plain taffetas in navy, brown,
green, black and other fashionable
colors are also used.
The stvle of the tailored waists
does not admit of much variation.
but when it comes to dressy waists
there is large and varied choice of
lovely models.

GREAT CULLINAN DIAMOND AT

| $ANDRINGHAM, England, November
S0.-Entirely informal proceedings mark
ed the presentation of the Cullinan dia'
| mond, the richest birthday lift ever Of
| fered, to the king. The famous gem
| which is now added to the crown jewels
Of England. was only in SandringhaH
House for very brief space, and is again
| back in London.
The greatest care was exercised In
| bringing it here. Inspector Drew and In
spector Cough of Scotland Yard went to
the Lothbury branch of the London and
Westminster Bank and withdrew the dia-
mond from the safe there. They handed
it in small brown brief bag to Sir Rich
ard Solomon. agent general of the Trans
vaal, who was accompanied by Sir Fran
els Hopwood.
Sir Richard Solomon did not part with
the diamond till it was handed to the
king. The party of four, with their val
liable burden, were in a nrst-class COM
partment which came right through to
Wolferton. A statement that the gem had
been already sent down to Sandringham
is incorrect, for Sir Francis Hopwood

carrying.

was the first to alight. Mr.. Spencer told

Maud of Norway. the Princess of Wales,
Princess Victoria, Lord Roseberry, the
Duke and Duchess Of Westminster, the
Austro-Hungarian Ambassador, Loru and
Lady Desborough, Sir Dighton Probyn
and Sir Stanley Clarke.
Sir Richard Solomon offered the mag
nificent gift of the Transvaal to the hing
with few words expressing the loyalty
of the new colony to his majesty's throne
and person, and the king, in reply, said
a few words of thanks. His majesty ex-
amned the diamond with much curiosity
and handed it to Queen Alexandra.
The stone looks more like large piece
of washing soda than anything else, and
the three queens were amused that In
that dull piece of material should be hid

PARIS. November 3O.-No amount of
police prosecution is apparently able to
discourage a certain class Of Parisans
who are determined to get all their fun
out Of gambling tables and joining mixed
clubs, to which ladies as well as men are
admitted. One of these clubs. which had
thousands Of members. after migrating
to half a dozen different sites and being
driven away from the boulevards only
few weeks ago, reassembled in a sump-
tuous mansion near the Arc de Triomphe.
Several hundred members of the club,
both male and female. we're thronging the
halls, the ladies in the most fashionable
toilets and the men in irreproachable
evening dress. An orchestra was playing,
and in one of the rooms. discreetly out of
the way, were two green-carpeted bac-
carat tables-the only ones saved from
former raids-and nine card tables
The police learned of the goings on, and

up before the doors of the club when the
amusement was at its height, accom-

moval vans. AS he entered the crowded
rooms he was received with courteous
smiles. and bowed politely in return. The

NEW ITALIAN OPERA.

Scored a Success.
Special Cablegram to The Star.
MILAN, November 30.-At the Teatro
Comunale, Bologna, took place the other
night the first performance Of a new
opera entitled "Paolo and Francesca"
by Signor Luigi Mancinelli, libretto by
Arturo Colantti. 1t was most brilliant
success. The opera, which is in one act.
is based upon the love episode described
by Dante in the fifth canto Of his In
ferno. The libretto, indeed, is mostly
composed of verses taken from Dante 8
poem. The opera opens. with a warlike
orchestral movement, followed by de-
lightfully sweet May song, sung by five
women, which aroused high enthusiasm.
The crowded audience interrupted the
performance demanding an encore of the
whole of the first part. This success was
confirmed as the performance proceeded.
The critics highly praise the originality
of the music and the magnificent orches-
tration. The new opera is said to be one
of the best and most powerful produc-
lions of Italian lyric art for the last
twenty years. The excellent performance
was conducted by the author. Slgnor
Mancinelli is we'll known in the United
States, having conducted the grand opera
there several years ago.
'Marcella," a new opera, by Signor
Giordano. the composer of Fedora -
Siberia and Andrea Chenfer," was pro-
duced at the Teatro Lirico here. The per-
Torrance was successful. but the critics
generally agree that the music Is not of
a very high order.

GLASGOW'S GREATNESS
ARGUMENTS AGAINST EXTEND
ING THE CITY.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
GLASGOW, November 3O.-A great flu
rore has been raised against doubling, or
more than doubling, the size of this city.
The objections raised to the annexation
bill would fill a volume of considerable
size, while only small minority of the
population seems to have the "swelled
head" 1t is proposed to extend the city
boundaries four miles outward as the
crow flies, taking in ancient castles, fields
coalpits, a good-sized loch and other
things. Glasgow now has a population of
100000 with an acreage Of 1900, which
the annexation bill proposed to make 49,
600. More than forty petitions were
lodged against the bill by thousands of
people, from peddler to peer. including
the prime minister, Campbell Bannerman
AS souvenir Of the great event, Glasgow
bound the bill and petitions into a handy
volume and laid 1T on the shelf The an
nexation bill has raised the simple and
clear issue, rs Glasgow not already large
enough?" Mr.. Chamberlain. the greatest
municipal genius that ever took hand
in civic affairs, has given his written
opinion that population Of more than
5oO.OCO cannot be governed to the best ad-
vantage from one center" This he gave
in connection with the movement going
on at present for the extension of his
own city of Birmingham.
= Against the Bill.
Here are some of the arguments used
against the bill:
THE bigger city is a form Of intemper-
ance that aff1icts many town councillors
and officials. So far as the citizens of
Glasgow are concerned they have been
mercifully preserved from this intoxica-
ton. Why should we seek to spread our
skirts over green fields and pastures new,
when at the heart of the city there are
plague spots neglected and untouched?
There is no command to the citizens of
Glasgow to go forth and possess the earth
until, like the soldiers of Xenophon, at
length they behold the sea! A halt must
be called somewhere, and the calm fol-
lowing the annexation cannonade is
good time to sit down together and con-
slider the great principles that underlie
annexation
There is a people whose single-eyed
ambition is to have the biggest things
on earth, irrespective of their moral worth;
but Scotsmen, as distinguished from
town councillors, are different 1t might
be possible to be the second city of the
empire and yet have fostering sores in our
midst that would Tut the stamp of lie
beast upon our whole municipality. A
higher claim to the admiration of the
world would be to have our city pointed
to from the ends of the earth as the best
administered municipality in the world,
city In which there was not lane, not
court, not house without the wind of
heaven breathing through it; city where
death, drunkenness, crime and taxes were
at their lowest. This pinnacle of fame is
not to be won by looking enviously upon
Naboth's vineyards at a distance, OBJ
livious of nameless horrors at our feet.
Until we have set our own house in order
it is futile to invite others to enter in,
and 1t Is british to think that we can
force them"

INTEREST IN THE NEGRO PROB
 LEM.

The American Magazine is taking up the negro question. In the December number appeared an extraordinary un- signed letter from a southern woman, presenting a new and interesting expla- nation of the increasing breech between blacks and whites. In the January number Washington Gladden. writes of The Negro Crisis" He says that un- less the movement to make serfs of ne groes is relaxed. strife will continue un- til the nation will be compelled to inter- vene and compel the segregation of the races-the setting apart of three or four states for the exclusive occupation of negroes.
 Now comes the announcement that Ray Stannard Baker, one of the editors of The American Magazine, is studying negroes and whites, south and north, collecting material for a series of arti- cles to begin in the February number He is going to try to get at the actual facts in regard to the condition of the negro-his positisn south and north, his education, his crime. his religion. his business interests and industries, always with reference to the points of contact
 
 He is going to make an effort to see ry- cry point of view and to set down the facts without prejudice. He promises to increase the verity of his presenta- tion by a series of photographs of south ern conditions made especially to ac- quaint the public with the real element of the problem-great full-page por- traits of negro faces of various types. and so on. No theory will be advanced nor a solution suggested; it will be an attempt to get at the documents and facts. Mir. Baker says.
 More and more this question is com ing before the people; it occupies no small share of the presidents message to congress; and an attempt will b made in congress looking to the repeal of the 18th amendment and the total disfranchisement of the negro. No sin gle American problem is more perplex- ing and acute.

takable. There can be no question of it's success. Whatever is to be Its fu- ture, it deserves immediate considera- tion. City government has gone rotten in the United States; it has become a foul thing. This is no little matter. One dollar out of every ten we earn We dwellers in the city-is taken over by a city official. We do not realize it, but it is so. But beyond and above all that, in other. bigger things. the administration of the city grips our lives like the great fates-happiness and health and future generations. Must we keep it still in the hands of the inefficient, the dull. or the criminal: or is there in this new system a means for representing at last the will of the people in the government of the city? As the citizens committee of Calves ton. asking for its new charter. said in its public address to the legislature: Tt is a question with us of civic life or death"

MINERAL PRODUCTION
 OF THf UNIItD STATES
A Compilation by the Geological Sur
 vey of the Figures by States.

A new feature of the 1905 number of the volume. Mineral Resources of the United States brought out annually by the United States geological sur vey, is a series of tables, compiled by MT. wm. Taylor Thorn, which shows the value by states of the mineral products of the country.
 These products. so listed, include both certain raw materials and also certain derivative materials in their first marketable condition, which do not appear in the table Of mineral pro- ducts of the United States as a whole. For example, both pig iron and iron ores are included as important products entering into the commerce of certain states, and in like manner are includ- ed both pig lead and lead paints; both clay products and raw clay; both coal and its immediate derivatives, coke, gas coke, Illuminating gas, ammonium sulphate, and coal tar; bauxite and aluminium; and also alum and alum mum sulphate. These derivatives and raw materials are here given, regard less of the consequent duplication of values, in response 10 a constant demand for this information thus arranged by states.
 Study of these tables will afford most people more than one surprise. For example. We think of Colorado and California as our most represent ative mineral states and yet, the act ual value of Illinois mineral products was far greater than that of either Colorado or California last year; more than double, in fact. the value of california's output, TOT although llli- nois has neither silver nor gold it pro duces great quantities of cement, clay, coal. pig iron. stone and zinc. which are worth much silver and gold in the worlds markets.
 The sums total of these state out uuts for the year run as follows:
