ENVOY RESIGNS;
SPLIT IS RUMORED
Charles Page Bryan, United States
Ambassador to Japan, Quits
Service.
, TROUBLE WITH KNOX

The resignation of Charles Page Bryan.
United State Ambassador to Japan, was
announced at the State Department yes
terday afternoon.
In an official statement 1t is declared
that Mr.. Bryan's action is due to in
juries received in a carriage accident in
Japan, which may necessitate his under
going an operation which would make It
impossible for him TO return to his post
In view Of reports published about a
month ago, Mr.. Bryan's resignation. and
the announced reasons for It, caused
much comment last night.
Early in October, when Mr. Bryan left
Tokyo for his home in Chicoga, via China,
Siberia, and Europe, 1t was reported that
he would not return to his post, owing
to difficulties with Mr.. Knox while the
latter was in Japan attending the fu-
neral of the late Emperor Mutsuhito.
The fact that Mr.. Bryan started around
the world in one direction. while Mr..
Knox returned home by way OF the Pa
cific in the opposite direction was men,
toned as evidence that the relations be-
tween the Ambassador and his chief were
not by any means cordial.
Yet this alleged evidence of a serious
disagreement was discounted by the fact
r
Bryan had requested and obtained leave
OF absence. with permission TO return to
the United States via Siberia and Europe.
The death of the Emperor of course.
halted his plans. and he remained in
Japan for the funeral, leaving only after
Mr.. Knox and his suite had started
home.
officials Are Silent.
No one could be found at the State De-
partment yesterday to lend the slightest
confirmation to any of these reports, and
not a word was added TO the meager ex-
PLANTATION contained in the official STATE
ment- Reports of a conflict between the
Ambassador and Secretary Knox were as
uniformly denied as heretofore.
Charles Page Bryan was born in Chi
cago. Ill. in 1856. He was educated at the
University OF Virginia and the Columbian
College Law School (now George WASH
ington University. and practiced law in
Colorado. He served two TERMS in the
Colorado Legislature and four terms in
the Illinois Legislature. Twice he toured
Europe in the interests OF the Worlds

vember. 1897, was appointed Minister to
China.

lister to Brazil where he served until 1902,
when he went as Minister TO Switzerland.

tugal. to Belgium in 1900, and he succeed
ed Ambassador O'Brien. now at Rome, as

ECONOMICAL OUTFIT
FOR THE JUNE BRIDE

A matrimonial event is always attended
by more or less added trouble and bother.
especially to the bride-to-be. The trous-
seau is, of course, the all-important ques-
ton of the hour. and its selection causes
many days of anxious thought.
For the girl with wealth at her disposal
the trousseau question is easy to solve.
All she must do is to pick out the kind of
gowns she wishes and some fashionable
dressmaker does the rest.
But the girl of less means has a more
difficult task. Perhaps she is working
girl and has laboriously saved her money
for her wedding finery. Then the choos-
ing becomes a serious matter. She must
count the cost of everything, making her
money go as far possible.
Let US consider, first of all, the wedding
gown The June bride has certainly suf-
ficient excuse in the heat for picking out
some thin, sheer material for the cere-
mony robe, in place of the heavy satins
so much used. Let her choose, then, a
dainty sheer muslin, lawn or swiss.

Following the tendency toward eianoia 4
tion practically all of the striped worst
eds and fabrics of similar type are
being made up with novel trimmings.
Sometimes very satisfactory efects are
accomplished by combining the stripes
with a color contrasting entirely. as. for
instance a dark blue and white with
plain dark red; red and black with
dark green black and white with cerise
or cherry. Whatever else is to be SAID
of it, the present season Is not one oi
subdued tones or monochrome eHec.s. On
the contrary, there is nothing too brisnt
or too barbartc looking TO be brought
into use providing proper discretion is Cd
served in their treatment
As for stripes, they are peculiarly dis
tinctive this year. In fact, there never
has been a season when they were SO
played up to advantage. and one sees
them everywhere. in morning. afternoon
and even in evening frocks, but they are
mostly of the hair-line designs. some
times varied with cross stripes that, per-
haps are of different color or diagonal
ones that alternate two colors. neither of
which repeats the regular stripe.
Nothing is more fashionable for street
wear than a skirt of striped fabric
topped with a we'll cut. well made coat
of plain material matching one or the
stripes in color unless it is skirt or
plain materiah that combines with a
jaunty blazer or cutaway fashioned oil
stripes.

necessity for several wash waists, and

without the coat later on. The taffeta Is
perhaps prettier and cooler. but taffeta
never wears very well. an. this should be

the principal trimming. very little of any

For instance. a pink and white dimity

the upper half OF the skirt showing the
stripes vertical, the lower half arranged

trimming.

FOLKS WE DREAD TO TELL
By Ruth Cameron

In almost every family there is some per
son whom all the others dread to tell
when anything goes amiss.
Once in a while il is the mother; some
times il is domineering son or daugh-
ter; far more often it is the head of the
house.
\ friend OF mine fell and broke her arm
She was a middle-aged woman and was
quite i'll with the pain and shock. Her
husband was absent at the time. and she
decided not TO let him know about the
accident until his return The day before
he was to arrive she became so fright
ened AT the thought of telling him that
her fever went up to dangerous pitch
she actually became delirious. and tht
nurse heard her muTmur over and over
again. What VIII Harry say"
OF course. the fall was entirely an acci
dent-one does not break ones arm OF
purpose. And Yet the thought of telling
himself actually frightened the pool
lady into q deiirium.
This case is extreme but il illustrates
the queerest feature of the whole matter
that il is not only the things for which
they are to blame, but even the most Iai

of the family dread to tell 10 the fault.
