The Color Trend.

Putty colored cloth Is a notable fea-
ture Of the new gowns. The pale Gin
namon and coffee shades have been
given the go by. and curious neutral
tone. which can only be iikened to
putty, is in high favor.
Art tones are once again commend
ing themselves to the well dressed,
who view the clear bright tones Of
other summers with positive distaste.
Fortunately summer fabrics, linens.
standings and tussores lend them
selves admirably to the new colorings.
In linen one of the very latest shades
suggests the moss and lichen Of the
woodlands. 1t is neither gray nor
green nor brown, but little of all
these blended together.
Dead rose shades are. of course. no
new thing. and the wistaria and grape
tints have been seen before. though
not perhaps In such numbers. The
blues are not quite a success. They
are either too cold or too clear or too
inclined to hyacinth and lilac tones.
There is new gray which is being
used with success. 1t Is curious
tone, which Is seen at its best In a
faced cloth with a. suede-like surface,
a cloth. by the way. which ID being
made for the present princess style Of
dress.

AERIAL WARFARE TESTS.
British Experts to Experiment. With
Guns and Captive Balloons.

Special Correspondence OF The Star.
LONDON, March 81 1909.
Following the example set by Germany
the British military authorities will carry
out experiments on Salisbury Plain with
the object Of testing the power of modern
artillery in resisting an aerial invasion.
For this purpose they will use the new
eighteen-pounder shell against captive
balloons.
Many doubts are expressed with regard
to the value of artillery fire against an
aerial warshp. When used against an
airship lowering over position compare
lively near the earth 1t is believed that il
will prove effective but an airship speed
ing along at great height would offer
target SO small and elusive that a hit
would he almost an impossibility.
AeronaUtical experts are of the opinion
that the best answer to the Zeppelin will
be found in the aeroplane- 1t is pointed
out that the aeroplane is not limited in
the height 1t may attain by the density
of the air to the same extent as the air.

DOESN'T GUIDE THE TALK.
King Edwards Way Quite Different
From Queen Victoria's.

Special Correspondence of The Star.
LONDON, March 81, 1909.
Queen Victoria's objection to Glad
stones conversational methods when ma
tional business was under discussion Is
well known. She complained that ne
talked to her as II she were "a public
meeting" But the late queen could
stand talking to on occasion.
Once when Thomas Carlyle was her
guest she ventured to express her Opin-
.on on some topic of the day. Carlyle's S
opinion differed and the queen was over
Whelmed by a torrent or scornful con-
demnation as the sage OF Chelsea poured
out his ideas on the matter. Certainly
the queen had never before been so fiat
ly and entirely contradicted or received
such an intellectual drubbing. But she
enjoyed it thoroughly and frequently
told of it with gusto.
At Queen Victoria's dinner parties con-
versation was never general 1t was
governed by the queen. and people spoke
when they were spoken to by her. But
dinner parties given. by the king or at
which the. king is present are very
different affair.
Having selected the guests. there is no
further social interference from him.
Every one talks as he wishes or keeps
silent, and no one is expected to sparkle
or to be unnatural But it Is well known
that any one who can amuse the king or
tell him good story Is very much per-
soma grata.
But Edward VII can punish an in
fringement. A very wealthy man whose
money had been made out of clothing
once remarked to him that he did not
intend to make one of certain house

Fox-HUNTINa EXPENSIVE.
Costs $31 ,7O5 a Year to Maintain
Pack and Use It S Times q Week.


Special Correspondence Of The Star.
LONDON, March 81, 1909.
Lord Willoughby de Broke is one of
the greatest living authorities on hunt
ing topics. and in the National Review
he deals with the financial aspect of the
sport. The keeping of hunters alone, he
states, gives a yearly circulation to
about S45OOO.OOO which permeates many
industries and trades
The cost of hunting a pack of fox
hounds four times week. with a pro-
fessiOnal huntsman each day, is placed
items are wages. $6120. and straw and
forage. S6.0S5. For hunting five days a
week with a professional huntsman on
three days, the cost Is $31. 7O5.
Expenses are steadily increasing. The
poultry fund is In many cases ten times
what 1t was fifty years ago. In his own
country 1t is $1,000 a year, and as chick
ems are paid for at the rate of fifty cents
a head 1t follows that the foxes took TO-,
600 of them.
"Curiously enough" he says. certain
poultry keepers always have exactly the
same number of chickens killed each
year" These of course are charged to
the hunting fund, and a nice little In
come is given to the poultry keeper.
There are two tariffs of subscriptions,
according to the number of horses a man
keeps or the number. of days a week he
hunts. The best rule, he thinks. would
be that each gentleman should subscribe
annually SIS. and each lady $50. for each
day in the week that he or she hunts.
The huntsman is much the best paid
of the servants and makes about $1,000
or $500 a year in wages, perquisites anu
tips One case is noted in which in a
single day huntsman received 500 In

seek work where 1t is better remunerated.
The result of emigration is naturally det-
rimental to landowners, who. owing to the
exodus Of laborers and the consequent
scarcity Of able-bodied men to work at
home have been obliged to increase
wages, and thus the cost Of production,
while the prices of their products have
remained unchanged.
Southern landowners naturally oppose
emigration. They say. with other things,
that emigration is depopuiating southern
Italy. AS matter Of fact it Is not doing
so.
The difference between departures and
repatrfatiOns of emigrants never exceeded
1000 persons. a year, while the annual
excess Of births over deaths in Italy is
3JO 900. SO that emigration merely pre-
vents Overpopulation.
1t Is true that owing to emigration there
are vast tracts Of land in southern Italy
which cannot be cultivated and have had
to be turned to pasture; still when these
lands We're cultivated the laborers got
starvation wages. from II to IA cents a
day. The benefits of emigration are con-
siderable, the writer finds. .t
