TIES FOR WIDE COLLARS.
Not Necessary That They Should Be
in Expensive Silk.

Every one knows that with the new
broad collar, indiscriminately called
Byron, Eton or Peter Pan, the most
artistic flowing ties are worn, but it is
new idea to make them of material
other than silk. Fine sheer handker-
chief linen is the most useful and the
prettiest of materials for summer ac-
cessories, and when made up into ties
it is attractive.
The new ties for Byron collars are
simply bows made of straight piece
of linen about five inches wide and %
inches long. 1t sounds gigantic, it is
true, but the flowing tie of the Quar-
tier Latin must have long loops and
long ends.
When making such a tie it is best
to cut the linen an inch longer and
an inch broader than the finished tie
will be, or it must be buttonholed with
mercerized cotton all round-at both
sides and each end. Sometimes the
embroidery is done in color to match
the suit or dress with which it is to
be worn, but white is always best for
these little things that need frequent
washing.
When it is finished it may be tied
into a bow and pinned to the front of
the collar, but no gold or jeweled pins
must be in evidence.
The best way to manage is to slip
the linen through the collar band in
front and then tie the bow This
hides the collar button and the tie
cannot slip. AS the band on these
wide affairs is narrow, the tie which
extends round the neck is likely to
get out of place.
Some of these summer ties are cut
with ends on the bias.
All lace insertion and edging should
be tabooed for wear with this new
wrinkle of fashion. Byron, though he
may have been odd, certainly never
wore lace neckties.

What was the result? Why, it was
like a lot of :block-houses, each with
it's hostile or semi-hostile occupants.

foreign settlements.
Why did Rome from her seven hills
rule the world? What makes Paris
such great city? What gives the dis.
tinctive touch to London, Berlin,
Dublin, Edinburgh? It is the sense
of homogeneity that makes them as
they are; the feeling among their in
habitants of a common interest, uni
formity of racial feeling and instinct
and kindred aims and aspirations. You
tell me of a great city that has 40 or
so different national1tfes dragging
away in different directions? Not in
thousand years! Yet the reformers
and dreamers, seeing no further than
beyond their own noses, attempt to
weld into homogeneous mass, in q
few years, what time intends to de-
vote centuries into doing.

VeIvet-Faced Fabrics.

Because of it's soft and clinging
characteristics, velvet and velveteens
are suddenly coming into vogue, espe-
cially for the more elaborate order
of tailor-mades, although they will be
worn in short, severe suits during the
winter by girls who are within several
years of making their initial bow to
society. For afternoon reception CO.'S
tune, those in chiffon and Lyons vel
vet will, of course, have the long skirt
slightly trimmed with chenille, jet or
gold bullion, and coats of any length
from sc to So inches, usually bearing
directoire earmarks and always with
full-length sleeves. When velvet is
employed solely as a material for a
street suit its trimming will be SIM
pier and of the satin band or fancy
braid order, as was the case last sea-
son with the comparatively few Co.'S
tunes worn of that fabric.

BURLAP FRAMES AND BOXES.
Useful Material Made Up in Many At.
tractive Ways.

That useful material, burlap, has
been made up in many attractive ways
in the last few years, and now the
needlework shops are showing desk
pads, handkerchief boxes and picture
frames all in burlap and embroidered
with soft colored silks.
One set was in a dark shade of
green and the design was carried out
in tones of wood brown. 1t does not
take very fine stitches or a great
amount of work, but, when the dainty
little articles are finished and mount
ed on cardboard, they are pretty and
effective.
AS sold in the stores, such things
are expensive; but why not cover a
box-and there are plenty around the
average house-Adeh burlap and leave
it without furtksA elaboration? 1t
would not soil easily, and it would
prove a formidable rival to the silk
and tapestry affair.

in politics they developed good speak

but the fetish of party could not COM

of men and principle.
Now the striking dissimilarity of so
many races, and their segregations of
one another in different parts of the
city, produced a curious state of af-
fairs from social standpoint. Here
was a race from the south of Europe,
eager, bustling, emotional, with it's
own particular customs and mode Of

spotted with grease, she can try the
simple remedy of French chalk and
hot iron. The chalk is spread thickly
over the spot until all the grease is
absorbed. Then a piece of blotting
paper is put over 1t and a warm, not
hot, iron is held over it to draw the
grease into the paper. Rub of the
chalk with a soft silk or muslin rag
and the spot will probably have dis

This brings to a close one of the most charming articles of an autobiographic character 1t has ever been given one to contribute 10 the printing press while alive. It may well be believed that President Roosevelts purpose in making the correspondence public at this time is to illustrate the patriotism of his distinguished prede- cessor, to whom he owed his entrance into national life as member of the national civil service reform commis- sion.

4 SOUTHERN OPINION.

The comments, which the papers of the south would have to make upon the Springfield outbreaks have been awaited with interest. After decades of vllficaton, 1t is natural that the south should now make some effort to return our criticisms with interest. Especially is this the case when the outbreaks occur in the very shadow of the tomb of Lincoln.
 The south has been heard from quite las might be expected The Louisville Courier-Journal argues from the inci- dent that the anti-negro sentiment in the north has been all along far strong CT than in the south, It points to the Springfield affair as an example to prove that the interest the north has displayed in the negro for decades has been but a shallow sentimental interest at best. Because it has not found itself face to face with the negro problem. the north has advanced beliefs it can- not not be depended upon to put in practice itself "If the narrow race prejudice that exists in Illinois should spring up below the Mason and Dixon line" says that paper, "the most hideous race war of history would en- sue" The north had theorlzed upon the negro, 1t argues, but whenever the occasion has warranted fl, the north has made 1t plain that 1t would not tolerate his presence did his numbers become sufficient to make him a factor in the industrial and political life of the section, Hence, 1t says 1t must fol ; low that the negro, as race, must re- Iman in the south and that the negro problem must be worked out in it's en. Itlrety in that section.
 l The Courier-Journal takes the re- ported wholesale exodus of negroes ! from Springfield as proof of its argu- | nent "The negroes who survived days of terror in Springfield by hiding like hunted animals, it says, "are glad enough to leave, Some of them may try their fortunes at other points in the state, only perhaps to see the results of years of patient toll swept away in | a night by the lawless hand of the
 white man who will not tolerate negro competition in industrial fields and who will not brook negro interference
 in politics" And it compares theil condition with the negro in the south,
 where "the negro population is a large proportion of the entire population of every town and city and the negro vote Is factor in politics in every section"

INTERPRETING HUMAN DOCUMENTS.

President Roosevelt has performed a charming service in making public the correspondence which took place be- tween him and former President Cleve- land in 1902, at the time of the threat ened coal strike It is rarely that such side light is thrown upon the rela- tlons of two men of different political training, one of whom had occupied the high office of president and the other of whom was at the moment entrusted with It's great cares
 The correspondence opens on the 4th of october It was begun by Mr, Cleve- land under a Princeton date line, He had just returned from his summer home at Buzzards Bay and on the trip home had read in the newspapers of President Roosevelt's failure to induce the operators and the strikers to agree upon some method of arbitratng the dispute. The great hearted Cleveland was disturbed at the outlook, which concerned the happiness and content ment of so many people, and was In particular annoyed at the high handed attitude of the operators, He admits in his letter his hopeless condition of mind, and yet feels impelled to give such a word of encouragement as might possibly aid the president in his novel undertaking, warranted alone by his splendid desire to avoid wide spread distress. He enclosed pamph' let which he had been reading and of this President Roosevelt says in his characteristic way, This was q pamphlet recommending exceedingly radical action against the operators; far more radical action than I took

The Springfield affair is far from ended Aside from the trials of the guilty parties, there will be the ex- penses of the outbreak. The law pro- vides that property owners shall be able to recover three-fourths of the value of property destroyed by mob and also that the heirs of any person killed by a mob shall be entitled to re- cover s5,000 from the state. That brings the affair straight home to the Springfielders in another way, since they will have to pay heavier taxes They'll think twice before they take the law in their own hands again.
