THIS YEAR.
By Ruth Cameron.

Did you know that cerise and purple
were an exquisite color combination?

acquired that information, and It is such
a surprise 10 me that / want to snare

friend OF mine who has reputation for
good dressing, and was impaired apropos
of large hat composed chiefly of purple
yiolet~ and trimmed with two cerise
plumes. | commented upon the hat as an
outrage Of good taste, and my compan-

think that's pretty. she said. You know
cerise and purple are all right together

What 1 wonder has the year 1912 done

suspended this year? For surely that
must have happened Last year and for
ever before cerise and purple was a COM
bination To make even the least esthetic
shudder. This year it produces a har-
nony.
Now. please do not conclude by my
inability 10 admire this combination that
j am a dowdy-minded person who does
not like stylish things. i think i appre-
ciate truly stylish hat or gown as much
as anybody. and i realize that the wand
of style cantransform many things. For

sirable material for a gown. But this l

facts and conditions which even the de-
crees OF fashion cannot change.
For instance. l do not think that any
thing can make serise and purple harmo-

Yet one more example. When / see a
very thin woman accentuating her thin

fact that thinness is stylish this year

Fashion is wonderfully powerful

things which II can influence, but there

LEGATION QUARTER AT PEKING
PATRoLLED.
OVER 100 EXECUTIONS
Six Women Among the Mutineers to
Pay Death Penalty Authorities
Afraid to Execute the Soldiers.

Peking. March 3.-Eight hundred
foreign troops patrolled the outskirts
Of the legation quarter for three hours
today, but there were no disturbances.
There are now 5000 foreign troops in
Peking, and the natives feel safe. Five
thousand Japanese troops have been
ordered from Port Arthur to Tien Tsin.
where there are only 1900 foreign SOL
diers
Over 100 Executed.
Most Of Yuan Shi Kais troops left
Peking today for Pao- Ting-Fu to sup
press the mutiny. The cannOnading
heard on Saturday was caused by an
attack of mutineers on Tungchow,
which was occupied and sacked. The
homes Of many Of the mobiles and
princes in Peking have been looted.
More than 100 executions have taken
place. For the most part the victims
We're civilians and included six fe
males. Apparently the authorities are
afraid to execute the soldiers,
Legations Support Yuan Shi Kai
The legations consider it jUdicious
to support Ypan Shi Kai as the quick
est and surest means of overcoming
the general spirit of anarchy. Cen
eral Ii Huen Hueng. the newly elected
vice president Of the republic, is anx-
ious to assist in restoring Yuan Shi
Kai's authority. In his opinion the
mutiny should not be permitted to up
set the general scheme of reconstruc-
tion.
200 More American Troops Arrive.
AS the railway between Peking and
Tien Tsin Is again open, the zoo Amer
lean troops of the Fifteenth infantry,
under Major James NJ Arrowsmith,
arrived here today. The Americans left
Tien Tsin last night aud came through
without incident, although they had
placed a Maxim gun on fat car in
front of the engine. in case ii might
be needed. The fact that a company
of the Somerset infantry al Feng Tai
deployed for the purpose of driving
back the mutinous regiment from the
railway is accepted here as evidence
. that the foreign powers will intervene
so far as it Is necessary to keep up
communication along the railway from
Peking to the sea.
Americans Head Legation Guards.
This afternoon detachments Of from
50 to $50 each of the legation guards
marched around the city as q, show of
force. They took the broad main roa.@
on which are many picturesque arches.
Curious throngs watched the foreign
forces, which attracted more attention
than the headless bodies which were
