also used.

a piece of the material hemstitched

Shoes shold be worn OF dull black

kid buckle while for the high heeled
slipper a round, fat button OF jet is
correct.
Gloves, of course, are always black.

cIre Crepe trimmed with Bands o
Corded SILK.

Corded SILK.
For an afternoon dress crepe de
Chine Is most attractive and distlnc'
tive. One charming feature of this SILK
is that 1t may be self-trimmed, and, II
anything, this enhance its beauty. All
costumes worn for first mourning may
be combined with crepe. But crepe
should be used sparingly, as too much
is in poor taste. .
From among number of mourning
dresses | picked out models for my
illustrations which are conservative
and stylish, both showing the attrac'
tive use OF crepe and dull SILK as d
trimming.

Our Mexican Policy

Representative Rulings, progressive, of Penn syvana, in opposing intervention in Mexico, in the of speech on Thursday, made statement in accord with view expressed Oy The Republican recently. That that if the Mexican situation had been handled vigorously in the beginning; that is the outbreak of the revolution, following the overthrow of the Madero government, the incidents which many people now believe call for intervention would have been averted If Roosevelt had been in the presidential chair respect for the lives and property of foreigners in Mexico would have been nstilled Both factions would have been given to understand that the disorder there could not be inerminable that the conditions were similar to those that existed in Cuba and started clamot for intervention before the destruction of the Maine.
 Mir Rulings advanced another doctrine that there was no why any foreign nation should not protect it's citizens in Mexico instead of applying the United States for their protection. That is d sensible construction to be put upon the Monroe doctrine which has always been rather filmy and from time time has required assertion. One thing concerning it, understand and which has been accepted by European nations is that the may acquire additional terri tory in the hemisphere. A little less defi nite is the understanding that the nations of the western hemisphere may be oppressed by European nations, though that understanding has been aside and then permit European nations to collect the claims of their citizens But no understanding, however definite, should work protect any of the western hemisphere against the consequences of it's outrages or those of its citizens upon the subjects of foreign nations.
 But returning to MT. Rulings declaration against intervention, the meager dispatches do not mention any remedy suggested by him. We may assume. though, that a change from present hestatng, uncertain, to vigorous decisive policy even at this late date, would convince the warning factions that a disregard of representations would intervention more.
 The main thing is that the disorders must end and if there is other way ending them there must be intervention by the United States alone or by the joint action of the powers, sug gested by a well-nformed gentleman in inter- view in The Republican the other day. The whole civilized world is jointly, if equally interested in the suppression of the disorder.

Maitre Labori is doubt great defender, he proved himself to be in the Dreyfus case, but in advising Mme.

 Mme. Caillaux, after shooting Camette, stated that she had not meant to kill and would deeply regret such an eventuaity of her craftsmanship. She only meant teach him lesson As the wife of d member of the cabinet who should be a veracious woman her word should be accepted.

The president charged with having agreed the canal tolls exemption clause price for Englands acquiescence in the ad- ministrations Mexican policy.

Later the senator retracted the statement with the explanation that his authority it was a newspaper article describing such deal.
 An ordinarily prudent man, with full com prehenson of the meaning of such accusation, might not have doubted it if he had read it in the Bible but he would have looked the second tme to himself that his eyesGht defective He would have taken a third look assure himself that he understood what he had read
