For Blondes and Brunettes.

1t is the easiest thing in the world
to fall into the mistake of thinking
that any fad is becoming to any wom-
an. Nothing should be selected with
greater care than the fur. For in
stance, a sallow-skinned, dark eyed,
dark haired woman will look the very
worst in seal skin. She should wear
the lighter shades of mink, red fox,
yellow fox and silver grey fox
Red haired blondes can wear seal
skin, but the genuine brunette with
dark hair and eyes may wear solurn
and light brown shades, such as mink,
martin, brown or yellow fox and chin
chilla.
Soft suede kid belts will probably
never go out of style and those for
early fall can be found in large var
iety Of shades. Among them are
browns, from chamois color to golden,
plenty of blues, red to crimson, greens
in all tones and many in heliotrope.

The Correct Gloves.
Opera length silk gloves will again
be largely worn this winter with short
| sleeved frocks for every occasion save
the most formal. Many of the after.
noon costumes are shown with the
long tight fitting sleeves. Silk gloves
| are very popular also for wear when
a muff is carried. They do not sweat
the hand as kid glove does.
- i y
| Marie Weldon, fashion editor of the
New York Times has this to say about
the glove: For evening wear there
is no doubt that the elbow and short
sleeves will prevail as usual, and
therefore long gloves of IL. 1e or q
button length will be worn. In pur
chasing silk gloves for evening wear
the long lengths should always be Sc
lected, as when properly worn, the!
go with the elbow short sleeve"

CASTRO OBSTINATE
Refuses to Consider Hollands
Second Note and Clouds
ThiCken.
DUTCH MUCH CONCERNED.

Willemstad. Oct. 5.-Advices re-
ceived here by steamer state that at
meeting Oct. 1, the Venezuelan Sen
ate and President Castro refused to
consider Hollands second note with re-
gard to the controversy between the
two countries.
According to the same advices, Pres
ident Castro, who had been seriously
i'll but was improving, suffered a re-
lapse and was again reported to be
very i'll.
Some Of the Venezuelan ports are
making preparations, fearing block
ade by Holland.
The Hague, Oct. 5.-Some concern
exists here over the report that Pres
idenet Castro has rejected the second
note of the Dutch Government. The
majority of the people, however, and
the governmtnt still trust the Ven
ezuelan president will understand his
own interests sufficiently to revoke
his decree of May IA, which virtually
put an end to Curacao's commerce.
Many are opposed to belligerent ac-
ton on the part of Holland, in the
wish that the Hague, as the seat of
the peace conference, be not connect
ed in any way with the idea of war,
but the government will be prepared
for any eventualities.
! The cruiser Utrecht has been placed
under orders to proceed to the East In,
dies, but via the West Indies. When
1t arrives in West Indian waters there
will be four warships under tht Dutch
| flag at that station.
