Contrasting Belts.

THERE is a late farcy among some
Partisan costumers for making the
belts of the more elaborate gowns of
color in contrast to the whole color
scnem, of the garment.
This girdle, though differing in its
tone, is of like material. and is merely
new touch-a little oddity-and more
evident because of the attention bestowed
on the waist line at present.
A dinner gown of sapphire blue, trim
med with crystal embroidery, is given an
old rose girdle, and the combine ton
could win it's way anywhere, so knowing
AIN. artistic was the choice of shades.

" up once, twice or thrice, and we are to
have them at their --LATEST with crowns Of
the merest bit of embroidered ribbon as
trimming.
Flowers are handmade and so are
leaves. and the simplest wreath Of roses is
considered ample decoration for the very
fiat hat which is becoming to those who
cannot wear the rolling brims.
Hats faced with black are holding their
own for becoming reasons. One of them
up in the left-hand corner is yellow
very yellow-leghorn with velvet near
the face and a most fascinating curl to it's
brim. The velvet is repeated in huge ear
like bows behind a crown of pink silk
handmade roses. In some models Of
this shape sapphire blue velvet has made
a most becoming background for face and
hair. It's lights and shades are won
derful when the sun falls upon it, and its
effect upon black hair is little short of
the marvellous.
Two black and brown curled quilts are
the sole trimming Of a burnt straw with
a high round crown. Thus does Paris
provide for all faces, for there are women
who cannot wear the very fiat shapes.
The lace bow at the back of the other
velvet-faced chapeau is chantilly, which
is the seasons favorite.
With the hair worn on the very back
of the head and with a goodly quantity
of hair, there may be worn such shapes
as that turned up sharply at the back

is a bank of lilac blooms with three pink
roses nestled in among them.
Approaching the fiatter shapes is that

which is one of the prevailing notes in
Partisan millinery. and the quilts are

Every variation of the wide-brimmed
hat will be seen and sought for; crowns
are round and square; trimmings vary
from the simple quill or ribbon bow to
clouds of maline and veritable gardens
of roses. Their variations introduce us to
lace which is yelled with maline and to

Mr. Rryan's Havana Speech.

When Mr.. William j. Bryan was in
Havana . few days ago on his way to
South America a banquet was given
IL his honor BY the American minister
at which be delivered an address that
was heard BY the leading public men
Of Cuba, and from all accounts his
countrymen who attended the dinner
regard it as the best speech the dis
tinguished Nebraskan ever delivered,
because it was intended for and need
ed by the Cuban part Of his audience.
The Springfield Mass Republican de-
clared that no other American could
have said what he did with equal
force, because no other American
could have embodied in his own per-
son so forcefuI an illustration Of the
truth which the speech conveyed.
Resort to violence" said Mr..
Bryan, in part, lis always d~eplorahle
and will, / think, become less
frequent as civilization advances.
AS man rises in intelligence and
morals, reason will more and more
be substituted for force and violence
in the settlement Of difficulties. The
day will come when the world will
see the folly of the doctrine that you
can justly settle a difference of opin-
ion by shooting a man who may differ
with you. There is a growing ac-
ceptance of representative govern
ment, and a fundamental doctrine Of
representative government is acquies-
cence in the will Of the majority.
That was the doctrine taught BY JEFF
ferson, the greatest exponent Of re-
preventative government who ever
lived, and it is necessary to the ex-
istence Of all republics. You will
recognize my right to emphasize this
doctrine, for ! have three times met
defeat when supported by more than
six million voters, but congratulated
my successful opponent on each oc-
casion, and had any attempt been
made to deprive him of his victory no
M would have supported him more
Loyalty than l."
Id view Of the fact that in Latin
America the people have no respect
for the will Of the majority, have a
profound contempt for government
generally and devote their activities
TO staging two or three revolutions d
year, the doctrine preached by so dis
~tinguished a victim Of majority rule
al MIR. Bryan should have a good
moral effect, hence il would be well
for him to repeat his Havana speech
to the leading men Of all the South
American countries he visits that
happen to be cursed with opera boufe
revolutions States.
