TLoUNcES NOW MADE FLAT
3eaIIoped and Edged With Fringe, as
They Frequently Are, the Effect
Is Charming.

Really a prominent feature OF the
smart afternoon frock this year Is
the ntmber of the tiers on the skirt,
sometimes dividing it into three por-
tons, sometimes arranged In tie
form vi numerous fiounces on the low
er part of the skirt. These are nearly
always scalloped out and edged with
fringe, and the effect Is charming. A
pretty black silk frock with straight
skirt neither full nor narrow has about
half dozen Of these little fiounees,
scalloped, and edged with narrow
black silk fringe.
These fiounces are not full, but are
put on fiat, SO that they do not inter-
rupt the line of the skirt at all Their
decorative effect is very great, al
though 1t is achieved with such quiet
means. Another pretty frock, In sap
phire.blue cashmere, has the skirt di-
yided into three equal tiers, the bot
tom Of each being scalloped and edged
with sapphire-bluc silk ball-fringe. The
lowest tier allows a border to be seen
OF sapphire-blue silk on which large,
vaguely patterned, dull green disks
are scattered. This border really con-
sists Of one OF the fashionable rib
bons.

Russia at Her Old Tricks.

After her trouncing by Japan tho
empire of Russia sang rather small.
Now. she is back at her old game.
The especial forte of Russia seems
to be that of bullying and robbing
smaller states, taking advantage Of
the temporary embarrassment of her
neighbors in order to get the best
of them and seeking to deal with
the greater powers by means of a
devious diplomacy.
Her most recent moves are char
acteristic. Whether her soldiers
have wantonly killed women ana
children In Persia or not, the very
fact that she has attacked weak
state is as though a grown man
should strike q child. The Russian
incursion into Mongolia is but little
better. She waited till the Chinese
We're engaged in civil war and
seized the opportunity TO rob them
Of great province.
Both of these exploits recall Rus
sia's treatment of Finland and Po-
land. No man of ordinary sensibil-
tiles can read the story of Poland
to this day without shuder of hor-
ror.
Russia is the black mark on mod
arn civilization. Her savage cruelty |
toward those of her own subjects |
who dare aspire to freedom, her
nassacres of the Jews, her refusal |
70 admit missionaries to her do
mains, her bureaucracy, her grating
Grand dukes and lesser officials, her |
ringing toward power and her bru
atty toward the weak. all spell out
he miserable story. The shame OF |
t is that the great powers of Europe |
ermit her thus to bully and over
ide the smaller nations.

RANDOM CLIPPINGS
Financiol Bud yet.

Mr.. 'MacNeagh declares. with rea-
son we think, that the action OF
Congress should be prompt; that the
last three or four years have given
ample time for discussion; that this
discussion has been thorough; anu
that the time for definite action has
arrived. All those who believe in
banking and currency reform, and
especially those who desire to see the
banking currency of the country
based on credit instead of United
States bonds, may wisely take tho
view of a correspondent of The Out
ook who dissents from some of the
provisions recommended by the
Monetary Commission and who says,
nevertheless If the discussion Of
what you call details q call them
vital economic aspectsl is likely to
interiors with securing from Con-
Gress recognition of a credit cur
rency on any terms, then the details
should not be discussed" We hope
that the prevailing interest in the
currency question will not divert
public attention from one other
recommendation in Mr.. MacVeaghs
report. He urges the appointment
ment of a commission consisting of
Representatives of Congress and the
Executive Departments to frame a
budget System for the Government
One Of the serious defects OF Ameri-
can finance is that Congress passes
rs appropriation bills without any
definite idea Of what the sum total
is to be- The result of this system
is to give us what are called Bill
lion Dollars Congresses. England
has government Budget, and the
Ministers Of the Government present
TO Parliament an exact estimate of
receipts and expenditures for the
financia year. This prevents ex-
trayagance and waste, and enables
the country to determine whether
the party in power are good business
managers a similar system shOuld
be adopted in this country. Outlook
