 manent Hague Court.
 New York, April 24.-All the peace delegates were a unit in eulogizing the moral effect of the first conven- tion of the national arbitration and peace congress. The latter ended in dramatic fashion in the banquet room of the Hotel Astor when Baron d Els tournelles de Constant the special representative of the French republic, tied around the neck of Andrew Car negie bright scarlet silk ribbon from which depended the grand cross of the Legion of, Honor In performing this function Baron d'Estournelles declared that Mr. Carnegie was now "a citizen of the world"
 Earlier in the day the peace congress had concluded the serious work which brought the delegates together by adopting resolutions which will be urged upon the coming conference at The Hague by the American represent atives
 The resolutions recommended, among other things, that The Hague confer ence shall hereafter be q permanent institution; that The Hague court shall be open to all nations of the world :; that a general treaty of arbitration for ratification of all the nations shall be drafted by the coming conference pro- viding for the reference to The Hague court of international disputes which cannot be adjusted by diplomacy; that the United States government urge up- on the congress action looking to the limitation of armament; that the con ference extend to private property at sea immunity from capture in war. The resolutions speak highly in praise of President Roosevelt of Secretary Root and the prime minister of Great Britain for the stand they have taken in favor of settled policy of peace among the nations.

New and striking educational exper-

the three young women who have
come to Wellesley for higher educa-
ton should adopt all the frivolities of
dress of the college girls and should
acquire a fondness for the consump-
tion of chocolate and ice cream in the
Inn. But Miss Chichi Wang, Miss
Wing Liza HUI and Miss Faung YUM
Tsao are not as far behind as some
of their American companions think,
except that they don't wear lingerie

newspaper in PeiSin especially for wo-
men, and edited by a woman. The

Women og Fashion Taller.

Society women in the United
Kingdom undoubtedly are becoming
taller with every passing generation.
There are in the present decade many
who are of goodly height, and it is
noticeable that the debutantes Of each
succeeding year appear to have gained
a little in their average of stature.
Among the fashionable matrons of
American birth who hold their heads
higher than the society herd are Prin-
cess Hatzfeldt, Cora, Countess Of
STAFFORD. Mrs. CORVALLIS West, Mrs.
John Jacob Astor and Mrs. Potter
Palmer. CHANGING over the English
world of fashion one calls to mind as
among the tall women of Mayfair,
Lady Desborough, Lady Herbert, Lady
de Clifford, Lady Gladys Herbert, Lady
Marjorie Sinclair and the Hon. Mrs.
Skeffington-Smythe, all Of whom are
more than five feet ten inches tall.
But each of the foregoing women is a
dwarf beside the Hon. Mrs. Edmund
Yorke, whose height is six feet, four
inches. Mrs. Yorke, who was Miss
Civa Miner, seemingly is not at all
embarrassed by her nearess to the
clouds It's a long way for her to
look down on her fellow mortals, yet
she is woman of exceptional sympa-
thy and deservedly one of the most
popular hostesses in the realm of Ed

One OF the first ordinations of for
eigners visiting America concerns the
showiness of costume which Is no
ticed in women of good position. In
New York especially there is thought
to be too little distinction between
the gowns of lady, in the old-fash-
Toned acceptance of the word, and
those of her sisters of less enviable
reputation.
The difficulty is not, perhaps, be-
cause the society women of America
gown themselves too gayly, but be-
cause they are often indiscreet in
their selections of the modes which
come here directly from Paris.

France.
During the last year two American
girls who have married Frenchmen
have had the unique experience of
having their husbands request them to
lay aside their extensive trousseaux
and to provide themselves instead
with lingerie and gowns more refined

These trousseaux, however, had
been bought in America at enormous
expense, since they were imported"
and of the latest cut and design. In
France they would have been bought
and worn by women of uncertain rep

were chosen by well bred and society

Fashion Notes.

Long sleeves are used in all tailor
models.
Dark blue or black coats with Scotch
plaids look stunning.
Japanese sleeves are used in many
coats for older women.
Raspberry is one of the new shades
of felt being used by the milliners.
A waist with a round yoke is apt
to be unbecoming to the stout person.
A walking suit of red linen is pro-
nounced much smarter than one of
white.
Braiding of all kinds, more especially
that suggesting the military, is very
popular.
In cut, in color, in trimmings sim
plicity is the dominant tone of the
smart suit.
The skirt trimmed in panel fashion
is becoming. The panels may be of
contrasting material
The little braided hip jackets are
very new and are appropriate with
either long or short skirts.
The collar and cuffs Of the bolero
are of mode broadcloth. Short
sleeves give the picturesque touch.
Stripes should be used with discre-
ton. They have a tendency to make
the stout woman appear conspicuous.
Long skirt suits have fancy coats or
jaunty hip jackets, three-Quarters or
still longer coats that almost reach
to the edge of the skirt.
Much attention is being paid to a
rainy day outfit Coats, especially,
| can be made very attractive when
trimmed with buttons, pipings, collar
lapels and pockets.

Last year the fashion of ladies' hats

the climax of folly had been reached.

When it is feathers, they are arranged

in a vaguely promiscuous fashion, for
the essential is to have great many
of them. When 1t is flowers they
look like bed which a gardener
has sown with varietgated seeds, that
have been allowed to grow as they

Woman Elected Mayor.

Within recent times a woman has
been elected mayor of town and be-
came thereby famous. 1t was some
fifteen years ago that Mrs. Yates
passed stormy twelve months in the
mayoral chair of Onehunga in New
Zealand, and her admirers claim for
her that never in the life of that town
were its sanitary arrangements so
perfect and its municipal debt so low
as during her term of office. Today
in the village of Koeisona, in Austria
Hungary, the same experiment is be-
ing tried. A young woman, only
twenty-four years of age, has been
chosen mayor, and with her on the
municipal council are four other mem
bers of her sex.-New York World.
