BABY FASHIONS
FOR THE SPRING
Harsh Coiors Should Not Be
Used in Dresses for the
Children.

In mentioning The spring fashions
for women it Is not fair to utterly
ignore he babies. who must have their
costumes as we'll as older people.
Corduroy will remain in favor for in
FAINT coats, as it may be SO easily
washed; while flannel and chcviot will
also hold their places. OF course
Monsieur Baby" must also have the
empire back, which is acquired by two
box pleats from shoulder to hem; while
two circular capes and a small ne of
baby Irish lace viii! cover h source of
the fulness. The ronts Of the coat
and three large pearl buttons fasten
the tiny mantle.
White Is still, n always will be. the
first choice for baby wear, but natural
straw poke bonnets will top the curly
heads, and pink and blue rosetteS will
be the only trimming, except for a
wreath of tiny rosebuds under the big.
brim and next to the face.
For older children, basin-shaped hats
of chip and leghorn will be in fashion.
and these will be simply trimmed with
bows of soft ribbon or knotted Roman
scarfs. These latter are of a silk like
surah. and they come striped In pastel
colors-pink. blue. yellow and violet.
fairs are most attractive when made
of linen or canva and the crown of
drsped allover embroidery or plain
linen In pink or blue.
Children should be dressed as little
as possible in the harsher colors-red.
green and the like--for they are not
suitable to the fresh young faces. and
there will be time enough for the con-
yentional shades in later years.

R0UMAN|AS QUEEN
IS PROUD Of HER
WEAVING ABILITY
Although a Poet and Novelist
she Is Often Found at Loom
Weaving Tapestry

In these democratic days not every
queen is hedged in by divinity, though our
conception of such a person still retains
of uor foreb6ars of centuries ago, when
the rulers Of peoples had the power of life
and death over their subjects. There are
many persons who still claim that kings
and queens govern by divine right, but in
these days. when the white Light of pub
licity is flashed in upon the lives of even
the most jealousy guarded of the worlds
elect" we realize how human the most
exalted ruler may be.
The queen of Roumania Ia one of the
most lovable and democratic wearers Of
the ermine. She is a strikingly beautiful
and romantic figure in the history Of
modern Europe, and besides being a poet
of considerable charm and humanity. She
is a novelist as we'll. and. in fact, can
| readily turn her hand to much In the arts
| and crafts. She Is often u at her
loom. weaving a tapestry which. likely,
will be preserved through years to come.
| keeping her memory alive and giving
some indication of the temperament and
tastes of this gracious queen.
She was born Princess Elizabeth of
WED and Is now in the stately white
glory of 6 years. She married King
Charles of Roumania in 1869. and when he
was i'll recently she declared that no nurse
in the whole world could benefit him more
than she could with her atteNtions. She

Of Budapest and st. Petersburg. but that
IL merely incidental. She 10 probably
prouder of her ability as a weaver.

a NEW SHADE.

The newest color shown In the advanced
styles for spring Is called mulberry. This
seems to be a cross between crushed
strawberry and raspberry, and 1t is just
near enough to old rose to be becoming to
almost any complexion. The most charm
ing linen suits are made in this color, the
white cuffs and yoke softening the ton
where 1t comes near the face. Many of
these dresses are trimmed with white cot
ton or sontache braid in all sorts of in
tricate designs.
The new mirage silk also comes in this
color and makes a most fascinating ma
terial for house dresses and dancing frocks
for young girls.

ANTEBETTING LAW
HELPS MINNESOTA
Results Have Proven That
Abolition of Gambling Does
Not Kill the Game.

ST. PAUL, MINI, Aug. 8.-BIinnesota
people do not need anyone 20 tell them
what will become Of horse racing when
track betting is abolished for they
know. Since the anti-betting crusade III
the East, there has been a great howl
all over that section of the country to
the effect that the adjustment OF bet
ting meant the decline OF the noble
sport of horse-racing. What the result
of such law has been, has been clearly
shown by the racing events at the great
Minnesota State fair.
The first popularity OF the Minnesota
State fair track was due IN a large
measure 10 the betting element The
first grandstand on the track was built
and owned by a gambling syndicate,
and the Minnesota circuit was as much
OF a feature IN the sporting world as
many of the larger Eastern tracks.
But the Legislature OF Minnesota,
many years ago, passed law abolish
ing betting on horse-racing. Iminedi-
ately an awful cry went up that the
racing game was doomed" Just as the
same cry Is now going up In the East
AS matter or fact the results nave
been directly opposite. Instead OF the
racing game being doomed, the number
OF entries, and the size OF he purses at
the State fair meets have been Increased
each year since the anti-bettlng law
was passed This year 81. 900 has been
expended in resurfacing and improving
the track. and there will be $4,000 di-
vided as speed prizes. There are more
and better entries IN the events for this
year than ever before, and the interest
in the events is greater than ever Il was
in the days OF the old "bookies."
Since so many of the Eastern States
have followed Minnesota lead I'm the
anti-betting laws. the papers have al
most all been unanimous IN declaring
that the racing game was killed, ana
that because Of the laws passed. mil
lions OF dollars would be sacrificed. II

NEXT WAR TO COST
BILLIONS YEARLY
Drain on Resources OF Europe
Would Be Appalling If Hos
tilities Occurred.

BERLIN, Aug. S.-The next great
European war viii cause an expenditure
of blood and money that viii take all
previous wars seen Insignificant. That is
the eist OF an important report present
ed BY General Blume, an eminent mill
tary expert. to the German general
star, on the probable cost Of modern
European war.
If war broke out next year, or next
week. Germany could put in the field
A75OOO0 troops. A war fought against
another European power would cost
Germany ar least 81, 800. 000,0 600 a year as
long as hostilities lasted, while the in
direct loss through financial and COM
rnercial stagnation would be far greater.
AS the nation or nations at war with
Germany would suffer IN at least the
same proportion, the drain on the re-
sources Of Europe would be appalling.
Appalling. too, would be the losses of
the armies IN killed and wounded. GEN
sraI Blume estimates that the casualties
would exceed the 20 per cent recorded
on the japanese side OF the late war.
and that q European war would be a
s4Verttabis orgy OF blood"
