OLD STYLES IN NEW
MATERIALS AGAIN
BECOME FAVORITES
Black Velvet Basque Was
Worn by Former Genera
tons, With Hoop Skirts
and Waterfalls.

Any one who makes a study of FASH
ions soon reaches the conclusion that
there are certain modes that recur from
time to time, modified or varied, but not
too changed for recognition.
The black velvet basque that has come
into prominence again as one OF the pres
ent-dav fashions was worn by our moth
ers or grandmothers, according to the
generation to which we belong.
1t was worn with hoopskirts and the
waterfall of the period, and it is being
worn again today, very little changed
and lending to the wearer more of the
feminine appeal of dead and gone day.
The velvet basque inaugurates the sep
arate skirt inevitably. And this, too, is
a return of an old style. Frlls and fur
bellows must have place somewhere in
the makeup of the majority of costumes
and the plain basque seems to call for
either plated or ruffled skirts that Will
furnish an effective contrast,
The illustration shows the black velvet
basque almost severe in design, but mod
erni2ed by the collar This particular
style OF collar seems to be q compromise
between fashion as originally planned by
the tnodiste and the comfort demanded
by the woman who must wear it.
1t is very high in the back, but open
to q generous degree in front above the
squarc-cut neck.
The white facing to the collar and the
white cuffs are made Of silk and count
a point as a fashion asset
The skirt worn with the basque scores
several points in up-to-date modishness
1t is in tiers, or sections, and it is full
that is. full according to the present
standard.
Each section of the skirt is finely
plated, though the fulness is greatest
in the topmost flounce.
While both basque and skirt are con-
ventionalized, they have distinct prestige
among the styles especially created for
autumn wear.
The toque or turban which completes
the costume is Of black velvet trimmed
with goura placed at an angle that We
might be inclined to call rakish II we
were not determined to reflect the spirit
Of war in our every day vocabularies.
The military air has been given de-
liberately to many coats and capes and
hats and bonnets, and where there Is a
certain kind OF dash the term is sure
to be used for the sake of its present day
popularity.

Mr.. Denison has sent to friends in
this country copies of a speech delivered
by him at the City Club, Manila. on
June 30 last. The speech is entitled
"Democracy's Mission in the Philip
pines" The speech does not give its
authors opinion on the question of
Philippine independence, but merely dis
cusses some of the questions which daily
come before the Secretary of the Inter-
ior through the administration OF his
own department.
One of the typical questions, Mr.. Deni-
son says, which come before him con-
tinually, cropped up in the proposition
whether he should authorize the ex-
penditure OF 500 pesos for the photo

To the Editor of The News and

doing some concentrating on their
own account. Inclined at first to sup
port r. I. Manning for governor, they
have come more and more to regard
him as the most available candidate.
Friends of other candidates are drift
Ing to him as the one offering the best
chance of victory. The Blease candi-
dates will not poll over $50 votes Of
900, and out of the remaining $50
Manning Will probably get 400.
With about 100000 votes in 1906
he got nearly 10000 in the first race
with eight candidates running. To-
day he is much stronger and with
total of 100000 he should pass the
10000 mark easily and go into the
second race. That is the way they are
figuring it out down this way.

No suspicion until lately has arisen

OF injection to man. says the London
Lancet. It was known that some spe.
cies, such as the white ant, has very
destructive tendencies in certain parts
Of the tropics and that the bites Of
some large tropical ants caused q
good deal Of general disturbance, be-
Ing attended with faintness and shiv-
ering and sometimes with temporary
paralysis. 1t was also known that
some savage races used the dried
bodies of ants, beaten into q paste, as
an arrow poison. but 1t is only of late
that suggestion has been made that
this insect might convey pathogenic
bacteria to man. The ant Is COM
monty found In and around the dwell.

1t Is indeed, matter Of difficulty to
keep this insect away from foodstuffs
In such houses. and it is equally diff

as q transmitting agent OF such infec.

carried out with the large yellow ants
which are found in and around the

with like negative results. He then
tried to determine IL the ant could
