DYED LACE HOLDS ITS OWN.
Handsome French Models All Show
 Trimmings of 1t.

Dyed faces are enjoying renewed vogue, and some of the handsomest French models show trimmings of lace dyed to match the material and often further establishment by embroidery in silk or panlettes echoing the color of the lace and reenforcing its design. Some of these colored lace and pail lette trimmings are exquisitely lovely, particularly in the evening shades.
 Dyed lace was used to good advan- tage in an imported gown. The model was in lead gray messaline. The bod ice had the usual long shoulder line and shoulder drapery falling over sleeves of cream net, lace net and lace forming the guimpe and lines of velvet matching the silk bordered the shoulder drapery and the guimpe.
 The skirt had at the bottom a mar row finish of velvet, above which wa a very deep band of lace. This lace was dyed to match the silk and long lines of 1t ran up into the body of the skirt. Fine soutacle braiding formed motives where each of these bands joined the wide band of lace running around the skirt.

Kansas, after spending a quarter of

Kansas, after spending quarter of a century in more or less unsuccessful casting about for q way to enforce the prohibitory law and man to do the work, has now apparently found both the man and the method, says The World of To-Day. Attorney-General Fred S. Jackson has paralyzed the il- legal liquor business in the state by crushing the outside brewing compan- ies that have been the backbone of the whole system. Three months after he was sworn in as attorney-general last winter, Mir Jackson filed custer suits in the supreme court against the brew ing companies doing business ill Kan sas. In his petition the attorney-gen- eral asked the court to enjoin the con- panies from doing business in Kan sas and also to declare all their prop erty, real and personal. forfeited to the state. The court granted temporary injunction and appointed three receiv- CTS to take charge of the property of the defendants. On May s the feceiv- CTS, in partial report to the court, showed that they had taken possession of more than fifty buildings owned by brewing companies, together .with a large amount of liquor and bar fix lures. The brewing companies are ap- parently glad to give up the fight, and only hope to be allowed to retain their property. The Anheuser-Busch Brew ing company is the only one that has appeared in court to resist the custer proceedings.

However effective our tariff may be in encouraging American manufacture in general, it is of small use in ex- tending the foreign trade in the pro ducts of that manufacture, and every year the pressure of retaliation increas- es. says a writer in the Engineering Magazine. If we ever are to regain the first place in active Improvements it must be by taking advantage Of prosperous times. When dull times come there will be little heart for large expenditure for experimenting along new lines. The kinds of manufacture in which America needs just now to be strengthened are the manufacture or high-grade goods now generally i'm ported, and of goods especially suited to the needs of importing countries. The American method can take care admirably of the field it HOW fills, so long as foreign competitors WlIh eue"p labor do not really learn the game. The danger is that they will prove apt scholars. and by applying American labor-sav!ng methods with the aid of labor already cheap. may gradually and steadily restrict the field in which Americans are now supreme. The remedy is not to shut ones eyes and declaim with patriotic pride of the continued prosperity of our industries. but 10 take up the march of improve ment aIl along the iine with some thing of the old swift alertuess. and 10 prepare to meet the competition Of the world in every grade of manufac- ture that the people demand.
