CHANGING FASHIONS A WORRY.
Strain on Purse in Constant Effort TO
Keep in Style.

These days of ever-changing fash.
ions are troublous ones for femininity.
An abyss Of restless modernity sepa-
rates them-even more than does a
century-from the peaceful times
when garments were for many years
cut upon the same patterns and varied
mainly in their adaptation to the
length and fullness of the wearer's
purse. "The petticoat of Sarcenet,
with broad black lace flounce print
ed on the bottom and before; the
Powered satin and plain satin-laced,
with rich lace at the bottom" as the
case might be, descended from mother
to daughter unaltered even in the loop
ing Of the train or the trimming of the
bodice or the ruff.
To-day, even with a closet full Of
good clothes left over from last year,
the girl in moderate circumstances
regards it as necessary spring and fall
either to get new things or to over
haul what she has-and frequently
the latter process costs more in the
end than the former. 1t is not al
ways wise economy to spend much on
ordinary clothes, as the result is sell
dom good; it requires the exercise
of some judgment to recognize what
it will pay to alter-and many a girl
prides herself on her economy who
really is extravagant.
The wiser plan, when one is not
wealthy, is to buy good things and
then to wear them as they are with
out worrying as to whether they are
exactly on the same pattern as ones
neighbor's. Every woman is entitled
to a style of her own and need not
be as anxious as American women
usually are to be precisely like every
n else.

,"BridaeN Froeks.

It is now quite the fashion to dub
all the good looking frocks that are
not intended for balls and dinners as
bridge frocks. The name is often mis-
used.
Women who never play bridge wear
the frocks by that name. We used to
say restaurant gown" and that name
was amusingly used by women who
rarely dined or supped out of their
own houses.
The bridge frock, so called, is any
kind Of a gown that you may wear to
a wedding, or an afternoon tea, or an
informal dinner, or a party, if you do
not wear your gowns low at the neck.
The name has jumped into popular
ity. Just as the men who neve
studied beyond the three RS wear col
lege bands around their hats and girls
who have never been on board a
yacht wear the marine symbols on
their sleeves, so women who do not
know king from C speak Familiarity
of their bridge" frocks.

Republican Extravaaance.

In the first ten months of the cur-
rent fiscal year the revenues declined
only SAL 900, 900, which is far less than
last years surplus to date, while the
expenditures increased by $66, 900, 900.
The government can pay as it goes
and have a big pile ahead at the end
of the year, but no resources, and no
thrift on the part of the people can
stand the drain which the Republican
congress is making on both.-St.
Louis Republic.
The Sixtieth congress at its first
session has appropriated more money
than any of its predecessors. 1t has
made appropriations which it knows
the revenues will not cover. Outside
of this field of activity 1t has been the
pre-eminent "do-nothing" congress.
In passing the billion mark the ap-
preparations under the Cannon rules
go SSS, 600, 900 above the highest pre-
vious Republican record. But what's
$8S, 0O0, 900 among friends of the Can
non rules when other people pay the
money?
Republican members of the house
who began by opposing the Aldrich'
Vreeland makeshift and were con.
verified by Mr.. Speaker Cannon's pork
bar'l will now have plenty of oppor-
tunities to explain 1t all to their con
stituents,

coLLARETTE TO MATCH HAT.
Gives Dressy Effect to Plain Cloth or
Silk Costume.

One of the newest fancies of fashion
is the c~ollarette, or ruff, fastened in
the back with long ends of ribbon,
which hang down the back. This is
the latest suggestion in the way of
boas or neckpieces for wear out of
doors. The collarette is a large ruff
made Of plated ribbon, chiffon, net,
ETC., and quite high and full-much
like a Pierrot collar. At the back
there Is a large rosette of ribbon to
fasten it and from beneath the rosette
the ribbons hanging quite a distance
down the back. Frequently there is a
rosette at the back of the hat to
match that on the collar. The collar
cite and hat should, in fact, be in &C
cord, and If they are so they will give
quite a dressy effect to a plain cloth
or silk costume. For instance, with
a dark blue suit a shaded blue collar
cite and a shaded blue hat having the
same tones might be used. With a
gray suit an orange and white boa
and a straw color and white hat might
give a touch of gayety.

Trimming with Ball Fringe.

The upholstery department is fur
nishing a good many of u clothes
just now. Its cretonnes are cut into
coats; its tablecloths are made into
skirts; its lace curtains are used for
tunics, and now its cotton ball fringe
is the popular trimming on linen and
cotton suits and frocks.
Many of the top coats Of linen de-
pend upon this trimming for their
only elaboration. The little balls are
attached to "a selvedge Of braid and
run on the edge Of collars, revers and
sleeves.
On cotton frocks such as gingham
and wolfe and galatea this little white
OF ecru ball fringe is also used, al
though 1t is not as pretty ON a tub
frock as on a top coat.

nation to say that one Of the
reasons for Directing was that the
Chinese went there, and that it did
not look we'll for Chinese to see
what foreigners did in this way. He
had no doubt foreigners did lots
Of things the Chinese did not ap-
rove of. If these pictures were
permitted in London he did not see
why they should not be permitted
here" People have a way of saying
that There amt no Ten Command

ing the matter with the feeling that
they have made a rather clever and
telling observation. =
Do they realize, l wonder, that in
some Chinese ports the term American
woman is synonymous for m OF
i'll repute-or prostitute? Thank God
it is not so in Tientsin. The American
and British governments are acting SO
far as Christian nations in this city,
even IL the individual American men
and Britishers are showing themselves
ANYTHING but Christians. The Chi
nese government is not going to
''stand for this" long. There will be
a day of reckoning if the foreign CON
cessions go on putting a premium epn
vice as they are doing now. Men
who have lived in Tientsin for years
do not hesitate to say that matters
must come to a crisis soon. 1t is
in the interest of the people at home
and of the United States, it seems tc
me, to understand what Is going on
This brings me to my third point
which includes a kind of summary Of
all the rest, namely, the important pc
sition Of the Y. M. G. A. in Tientsin
A record of some of the activities o.
nv very good friend Mr.. Robertson
will be most conclusive In showing
that the Y. M. c. A. is a power for edu
cation and for righteousness needed
and esteemed by the Chinese educa
/. tors. On one side Mr.. Robertson
comes in contact with a vast numbei
of school boys. He has severe
) classes in various schools in physics
t and takes his students to all the cen
. tiers of the city, such as the Western
s telegraph station, telephone building
e power plant, etc. He also is manae
