But every power which has many
subjects who have staked money upon
the stability of the Mexican republic,
the justice and soliditv, of the Mexican
government, and the general sanity

the Mexican nation, will exert more

country should ever default as a ma.

aggregate these forces brought to
bear upon Mexico can be trusted to
have a deep and wide influence there.
Such international business bonds

important in many parts Of the world
Every year the financial and CONNER
cial ties which knit the nations to.

the tendency Of the times is toward
the creation Of closer international re.

This is one of the widest and strong

agencies for good which shape the
progress Of the age. Business has
many bills charged to its account, but
there is no denying the vital and bane,
fcent influence which it eXerts upon
the international relations of the
times.
It brings knowledge with the growth
of selfish interests in the reign Of law

"FAIR APRON" MAKES A HIT
Designed by Clever Young Woman
Who Found No Further Space
for Table at Fair

"The Fair Apron" II is called by the
clever young woman who is its origin
ator. There being no further space for
table at the church fair in which she
was anxious TO help, she conceived
the idea Of making a big, stout apron
of denim, with plenty Of spacious pock-
cts, and going around with it, selling
small toys to the visitors at the ba-
zaar.
No sooner thought than done. The
apron was made of dark green denim,
reached to the knees, and was pro
vided across the base with three
roomy pockets, made in the deep turn
over of the hem by two straight lines
OF stitching. These divided the band
into three divisions, which were trim
med with a triple row Of narrow white
braid. Two smaller pockets we're
made higher UP, All Of these pockets
were hastily ornamented by pictures
of Teddy bears, etc, outlined in thick
white floss. The apron was fastened
around the waist by two stout cords,
which helped support its weight.
So great was the success Of this
plan with the children who were too
small to get near the big tables that
the second day of the fair she was
obliged to hang a tray around her
neck to hold the further wares de-
manded OF her!

The combination of Russian coat
and plated skirt, shown in the Illus
tration, represents an ideal style foi
young girls street wear for both
autumn and winter, for by wearing
warm little vest under the coat the
dress would be suitable for any but
the most frigid days. AS pictured. the
suit is made of a mannish goods IN
brown and red, with a little handsome
embroidery and some fancy buttons
on the bodies. The skirt is in seven
cores, but as these are plated and
stitched at the top the effect is styl
ishly narrow.
This model will be found very good
for lightweight serge or cloth or some
novelty suiting or other, and instead
OF the embroidery used here a palm
leaf Persian silk could be bought for
the collar and cuffs and pipings of the
bodice A good wool, with trimmings
of black velvet, would be substantial,
and If one wants the latest touch she
must respect velvet now.

The sultan used to have hobby for
collecting wives. He had samples OF

Some months ago Monaco suddenly
woke up one morning with a thirst
for parliamentary government and
marched upon the princes palace. A
revolution was averted by the prince
consenting to receive deputation. to
whom he said; IF you want to elect
each other to something. by all means
do so,' or words to that effect
The Monegasques accordingly elect
ed each other to a body which they
called the communal council, after go

of shouting and apelJinding. The body
electorate at once split up into four
distinct parties, the real Monegasques,
the true Monegasques, the Monaco pa
triots and the Progressive National
lists of Monaco The lastnamed party
came out at the top Of the polls and
holds the majority IN the communal
council.
The prince has granted the council
supplies amounting to 100000 a year.
The question before the council, i'm.
probable as it may seem, is what to
do with the money. Every public eX.
penditure is covered already several
times over by the profits of the
Monte Carlo gambling tables. The
councils budget, therefore, viii work
out something like this: Annual rev.

The day of the political boss has
not yet dawned in Monaco, but it will
probably come, and then there may
be some modification in the unique
balance sheet.

MEXICO is a striking illustration Of
AVA the way modern business puts ma
tions under bonds to keep the peace.
A naturally turbulent Latin-American
republic, mainly Indian in blood, pays
coupons on its government bonds to
citizens Of q nations. That is the
number of countries represented last
year. In 1907, coupons on Mexican
government bonds were redeemed for
citizens of 1G nations.
Every country so interested, through
its citizens, in the stability and homes
ty of the Mexican republic, is an in
fluence on the side Of peace and or
der in Mexico. In a very real sense
the Mexican nation has given bonds
to keep the peace by selling govern
ment securities to foreigners living
under many flags.
Less directly, but still in ways that
count heavily the sales of private
property to foreign investors are also
equivalent to giving bonds to keep the
peace. In the last quarter of cen
tury American capital to the amount
Of not less than 81 O00,00O,O 900 accord

invested in Mexican mines, planta-
