100 Years Ago Today

y NE HUNDRED years ago today
was concluded the treaty Of Valen-
- cay, which was one Of the eonspicu-
Gus forerunners of Napoleon's downfall
and the final triumph of the allies.
Valeneay was a chateau near Chateaur-
Oux, in central France. Here Napoleon
had kept Ferdinand of Spain a prisoner
since ISOs, in which year Charles " had
abdieated the throne of Spain In favor Of
Ferdinand, his son. Ferdinand, BY forca
of circumstances, refused the throne, IN
favor Of his friend and ally Napoleon.
The latter thereupon made his brother,
Joseph BOnaparte, king Of Spain But IN
the year 1913 the British army under lord
Wellington had driven the French out Of
Spain and. Napoleon felt constrained to
conclude the treaty of Valencay, which
provided for Ferdinand's restoration to
the throne.

man I'D to date and has been done in
the past 10 years by 100000 Workmen,
a few sets of high powered brains and

For many hundred years men have
wanted to dig the Panama canal, and
several very costly attempts have been

This is a scientific age, and nothing
proves it more extensively than the
fact that when the United States en-

which was once a trif1e more fatal

wishes to fade away as former work
men once did by thousands has to hire
a personal friend to kill him with a

The Panama canal unites the Atlantic

and America. By means Of the canal
10000 ton ships will be hOisted deftly

married soon after. Among the re-
cipients of the usual little cardboard
boxes containing piece of wedding
cake was Chinese merchant with
whom the bridegroom had an outstand-

the honeymoon one of the first persons
the newly-wedded husband met was
his Celestial creditor.

asked the Englishman, laughingly, af.
ter the usual congratulations.

the kidneys, they become overworked;

brocade. At the waist was a girdle
with long tassled tab of the color of
wet violets. On her head she wore a
most charming little hat, with two
wings pointing in opposite directions
diagonally across the back of the hat.
The daughters dress, seen in the
first Illustration, was In brighter col.
ors, as befitted her age. The blouse
and tunic were made of blue charm
euse. The V-shaped neck was outlin-
ed with a ruff of lace. The tunic was
pointed on either side, sloping up
across the front. The skirt was black
and decidedly narrow at the ankles,
and the dainty tango slippers were
quite noticeable. But the browning
glory of the gown was the huge black
tulle butterfly at the front of the waist.
The wings spread SO widely that the
lower part of the waist was invisible,
and long, fiat, fringed ends hung
down below the tunic directly in the
front. A most fetching little black
velvet hat was worn with this strik-
ing costume. Around the crown was
plain, graduated lace frill, wired to
stand up stiffly: In the front was a
crimson rose.
Many of the suits worn at the show
were made up without collars in order
to allow the wearers to drape scarfs
or stoles about them. Some of these
were made of fur, but many of velvet
and handsome soft silks. Some wore
the stoles draped over their shoulders
crossed low in the front and hooked
together at the back. The middle OF
the stole was cut to appear like a
large collar or cape. In fact. they
simulated the dolman worn some TWEEN
ty years ago.
The bottom edges of the skirts are
often cut straight because borderet
materials are so widely used. as wei
as embroidered flouncing for the lower
parts of skirts.
Hats are quite small and fit snugl!

and fetching. But now and then

RPPLEs-WHAT THE CHILDREN WEAR.

one of the smartest being a striped
silk called Revolution silk.
One noticeable jacket was long in
the back and very short in front, but
toning over an exceedingly smart fur
waistcdat. Another attractive coat
was cut long in front and short in the
back. The fronts were separated and
fur edged, giving the appearance of
stole.
The Minaret was the inspiration OF
many costumes. Women are no long
err afraid of this bouffant style, as it
can be modified in many years, and it
maintains the fashionable silhouette.
Both wire and featherbone are used
to hold out the Minaret tunic.
Three-tiered and pegtop skirts were
very much worn, although there was a
decided sprinkling of the overskirt,
with pleats falling either from the
sides or the lower edge of short
front panel.
Collars, high at the back and narrow
ing to the fronts, are extremely chic
reminding one of the wide Medici col
lars so often seen in French and ltal
ian pictures of several centuries ago.
Bright collars are the vogue of the
day. If the material of the gown is
somber, then the Innings must be bril-
liant. The hem of the skirt of the
tunic must no longer hang straigh
around, but at some place must turf
up, showing the brilliance of the lining
underneath. This little whim of fash
ion is certainly the outgrowth of TIT
fact that when walking in these eX
ceedingly narrow skirts the back o
the skirt will almost always turn vi
at the bottom.
