Formal Statement to
the American Public

Washington, Oct. S.-The Belgian
legation has compiled the following
statement of the Belgian case in the
present European war, to answer the
many inquiries that have been receiv-
ed on the subject:
"By the treaty of April 10, 1889,
Prussia, France, England, Austria and
Russia declared themselves guaran-
tors of the treaty concluded on the
same day between the king of the
Belgians and the king of the Neither

Belgium forms an independent
state of perpetual neutrality.
THAT is to say. Belgium was for

An old pair Of kid gloves, worn at
night after an astringent has been
applied, will do wonders in keeping the
hands small and also in breaking down
the fatty tissues.
However, If the bones are large,
reducing the flesh will only succeed in
making the bones look more prominent
and the hands look old and even
larger. 1t would be better to pass the
time making them soft and white and

SET OFF DARK SILK GOWN
Dainty Set Of Lingerie Collar and
Cuffs Makes an Always Attractive
Addition to Garment.

A fine, dainty set of lingerie col.
lar and cuffs for the dark summer silk
gown is always an attractive addition.
The gown may have no other orna-
mentation but few tucks or rows Of
shirring besides the lingerie set; but
IL the set is beautifully made 1t will
add richness to the frock that a more
elaborate ornamentation could not
give. Either white, cream, or ecru
batiste should be used for the set.
Ecru is less trying to most complex
ions, does not soil so easily and blends
more tremendously with dark silks;
but, Of course, one may select that
which pleases one most. The set will
be daintier If worked in eyelets rath-
er than solid stitching. Eyelets are
quickly worked and decidedly effec-
tive.
The edge of both the cuffs and col
lar may be straight or scalloped, and
In either even worked in buttonhole
stitching. If preferred, there may be
a narrow hemstitched edge, but the
buttonholed edge is more suitable
when the eyelet work is used.

CL0AKS FOR EVENING
PRETTY GARMENTS NEED NOT
BE UNDULY EXPENSIVE.
Naturally Less Costly Than Those Of
tho Winter-With a Good Pattern
They May Be Made at Home
Pretty Cape-coats.

(By MARY DEAN.)
Evening coats have grown more and
more picturesque in the last ten years,
and since picturesqueness In this prov.
ince Of dress has been achieved at
comparatively slight expense, the at
tracttve evening coat is no longer the
luxurious possession Of the few, and
almost any woman with even the
slightest pretentions to being well
dressed possesses at least one such
garment
There are coats and coats, and for
many Of them the price runs up to
excessive figures. Some of the gold
and silver embroidered chiffons Of
which stunning models are made, will
run an apparently simple model up to
a monumental sum. But it is not nee.
essary to 90 into such extravaganza to
have an effective cloak for evening
wear.
The summer models, too, on the
average, are less costly than those
OF the winter, because they do not de-
mani warm interlining and other lin
ing. Many Of them, indeed, are
unlined; while others have merely
plain Innings of self-colored or con.
trasting silk.
Possibly the very best Of the less ex-
pensive cloaks for warm weather wear
are the new ample capes, plain or
trimmed, with bands of shirring and
ruffles. With good pattern such as
is easily obtained, even an ordinary
seamstress can make the cape sue.

tiful in texture and color there Is no
reason why such a wrap should not |
be graceful and picturesque.
The double width crepes, satins and |
fine lightweight cloth are all admir-
ably adapted for the circular or draped |
cape and this season the new chiffon
taffetas, which are as supple and as
easily draped as the crepes, make ideal
cape and evening coat materials.
