BlnterUU That I'opnlur nig Sleevrs Will be (Jtfcdhf— Two Sweet Costumes A Gowt tor >J a Fair Graduate. lj VERT parent who has ;i daughter at school (fiA Interested in plan ulng garments for the 111 \ Sli Period of graduation / exercises now so near ll / at hand. There is Jyl —nothing in the life of 1/ r ¥ a girl that raises ' vi> laisMUMaahi'ignter anticipations, or calls or ■greater sympathy from lov ing patAitsH and admiring friends, than that ei mltliation of her girlish dreams —grad'sti,n. The glamour of youth is about land it Is entirely proper that she s "'df be robed on the important occav ■ i ifi a costume that shall realize to soiin elxtent the beauty and purity of her Jtclams of life. It tiny I be laid down as an axiom that tlit ... radii,u >n frotvn %hould never be decolllette, and that the material in the main! should be white. Color may be adcecu In the form of ribbons, bows and fiovjers, but the main material must he .white or of some of the delicate cream s'nades now so popular. Witn the younger graduates flowers and ribbons and lace may be some what freely employed, as is shown in the accompanying Illustration of two very pretty designs for sweet girl graduates. The materials popular are sateen, thin muslin, Indian lawn, white or cream organdie, dimity, white al paca, etc. The complexion, style and character of each girl needs to be stud ied. Simplicity is the chief object, and a mother who haa taste and skill will For Sweet Girl Graduates. generally elaborate a better costume than a professional dressmaker, be cause she will have no false notion of her daughter being a walking adver tisement of a costumer's art. Above all things, the girl graduate should be treated as a girl. She Is not yet in society, not even as a "bud," and the realm of girlhood Is as far as possible removed from the desire to attract at tention to physical charms, unless It be a pretty girlish face. Big, full sleeves will prevail In most of the graduate costumes, and they will In most cases end at the elbow, below which they will be tight-flttlng, or the arm left bare. The dress shown at the left of the picture is made of thin muslin, with a shirred yoke, and trimming of valencieunes lace and rib bon, which latter may be white or some light shade of color as desired. The other dress is of cream organdie, with trimming of lace and blue or pink satin ribbon. Our second illustration shows a sim ple and very pretty costume for an older girl. The material Is of cream dimJty, with a skirt of the fashionable eeven-gored style. The foundation skirt is of cream sateen. The dimity Is fulled In the front, and back from the neck to the waist.. The big, full sleeves, which reach to the elbow, are Bor a Pair"' held out by an Interlining of paper imuslin. The collar is of satin, and is outlined with flowers, which are cut from the odds and ends of lace that trim the sleeves and bodice, and are felled neatly down to the satin. The belt is of satin the same as the collar. It may be added that these gowns are equally appropriate for a girl's wear during summer for any festival occa sion. or for evening wear when in the mountains or at the seaside. The light materials make a dress that is at once cheap and pretty. The lovely organdies that now pile the counters of the shops offer a great variety for the selection of a girl's dress. The sprigged and flowered organdies are -not appropriate for graduation, but the plain cream or white are Just the thing, and will be much used. Old Mahog'-. Tables. The mahogany card tables of oui grandmothers are much esteemed these days as a bit of parlor furnishing. The folded top, having been protected from any but occasional use, Is generally a fine piece of wood, and when the table Is stood against the wall with one-half of the top supported by It the polished background Is very effective for a little bright bric-a-brac. It is a suggestion If a fine polish Is wanted, to send the table to a coffin or p ano warehouse for the process used in the work at either of these manufacto,'es. A caution to purchasers of the tables, too. In some old New England farmhouse or at an ■ antique shop Is to kep on looking un til one Is found with a graceful base, there being a decided choice In the sup ports. A straight pedestal base Is not so graceful as tly curved scroll or wid ened harp design, and It Is the latter that should ha found It possible. t I FASHIONS IN TEARS. Strauge aa It May Seem, There Aro Modes Even In Weeping. Fashions change oven in spiritual matters, and it bus been decreed that it is no longer a subject of pathetic inter est for women to weep. Those tender lines of Kingsley, For men must worlt And women must weep, And there's little to do, ' But many to keep Though t ho harbor bar bo moaning, are still true enough when applied to the men who go down to the sea in ships and to the wives, daughters and sweethearts who wait and watoh for them. Cut to the women in town and country the edict has gone forth, "Weep no more." The day has passod when the big, sad eyes, ready to send forth a flood of tears on the slightest provoca tion, can prove an effective weapon against refractory man. He knows too much about it. It is useful to a woman as a relief to her nervous system—any physician can tell her that it has its physiological benefits—but masculinity cannot bo subdued by these moist meth ods. When she begins to show the old fashioned signs of distress, man cruelly interferes: ".Now, don't cry. It makes your nose rod and your eyes ugly. It won't change mo." Or if ho is especial ly coarso he will shout: "For heaven's sake, stoji that crying game unless you want to get rid of inel I won't stand it." A woman enjoys crying. The wise man is aware of this and is never heart less enough to attempt stopping a source of pleasure. But it is one more reason why ho is not alfectod by her toars. If they arise from bodily pain or intense mental suffering, he is all sympathy, but tho hysterical overflow that can bo produced ou an instant's uotice, that Booms to be on tap—because her dress doesn't fit in one particular or she lacks a clime to complete one especial pur chase—does not now excite his interest. When a man cries, it is from the diaphragm, and tho sobs give him ac tual physical pain. Ilis sex fellows know this and can sympathize with him. But women cry from the chest or throat without the slightest effort, and men know that too. The old German proverb, "Nothing dries sooner than a tear," must have been written by a man who had had experience with the wiles of weeping women. There is a quaint old English poem that gives a list of tho various evil spirits that infest this world and inflict injury upon more or less undeserving mortals, and concludes with the startling statement that "a weeping woman with two black eyes is tho wickedest devil of them all." The principal point for the considera tion of woman is that when she must have her "good, comfortable cry" she should take hor consolation privately. Whoa not in the presence of nnsynipa tbizing man, she may even forget to cry, and if she remembers there is a possibility that she will forgot tho cause of her lachrymose desires, and smiles may soon chase away the tears as they did in childish years. If the sex has re formed iu this respect, man need not claim the credit. It is a busy, bustling age, in the oities at least, and there wo men have learned to he wise, earnest and strong, as factors in the daily life of a world that demands the best efforts from them. They aro responding brave ly and intelligently, and there is no time loft for crying. Philadelphia Times. , ARTISTIC DINNER GIVING. Tho Ideal Diuner Has n Simple Menu and a Perfect Service. The ideal dinner company is never largo. Six has been said to bo the mag io number, but eight and oven ton are perfectly manageable, both in the mat ter of smooth service and in tho higher harmonies. Do not couflno ycrnr choice to intiinuto friends, but add to their pleasure and your own tho fresh experi ence of meeting new spirits, whose con geniality you have divined. A really artistic dinner, it is the writer's conviction, should never ex ceed four courses, including the coffee. Tho scheme of tho dinner is that each dish shall bo perfect, worthy of the pal ate and of the appetite, enjoyed to the full for its merits, und not trifled with nud instantly forgotten. The second point in importance is that a dish shall bo as attractive in appearance us it is perfect in flavor, that it should be placed upon the tablo as an added en joyment and hospitably served by host or hostess. Tho third point, aDo of im portance, is that a dinner should be sea sonable—not an anticipation of seasons —for every chosen article should be at its very best. A lean, half shriveled January tomato, which has ill borne its travels, i 3 but a forlorn apology for the plump and luscious summer product— certainly not fitted for an "artistic" appearance.—Ella Morris Krotschmar in Woman's Home Companion. £ucli!i Wouieu Suiokem. A Now York society woman who has a long lino of social connections in Eng land said in discussing the smoking habit antoug women over there, about which so much has heeu printed lately: "English women whom I have received in my home—and I receive many—al most without exception smoke. It is not a giggling matter with them, as it still is with our womerf, to somo extent. It is a matter of course." And tho cigarette habit is growing fast in femi nine circles here. If yon don't believe it, inquire in the stores where "special ly made for women" articles ore sold. Smokers' outlltu for all sorts and condi tions of womankind are now on Bale, most of tho high priced eacs being im ported from dear old London. New York Letter. Unsalable.

THE COLJJWBIAN, BLOOMSBURG, PA. THE PHILIPPINES- A New Problem Demanding Our Atten tion What Will the United States do With Her Eastern Possessions—New Conditions Require a Revision of Our Policy. When the war with Spain broke out all eyes were directed toward Cuba. VVe took up arms in order to relieve the Island of Cuba lrom intolerable misrule and its inhabitants from famine. Very little thought was given to the Philippines; and yet such is trie irony of fate that the question of the disposal of the Philippines, which was scarcely taken into account as a possi ble factor in the problems of the war, may be the first to demand considera tion. The question is an extremely difficult one, and it is complicated by an array of perplexing side issues. All the arguments that have been urged against the annexation of Hawaii, Cuba or other transmarine territory apply with redoubled force against the acquisition of the Philippines. We would be obliged to amend our con stitution in order to provide methods of civil government for alien depend encies whose inhabitants are unfitted for incorporation into our community of self-governing freemen. We would do violence to a fundamental principle of our national policy if we should extend our dominion beyond the seas which surround our continental herit age. We would cut adrift from that doctrine by which we announced our intention to neither intermeddle in the affairs of the Old World nor per mit any intrusion by the nations of Europe into the affairs of the Western Hemisphere. All of these arguments, however, have been materially weakened by the logic of events. For better or for worse, we have intruded into the political system of the Far East, with which we have hitherto had none but diplomatic and commercial relations. If the inhabitants of the Philippines were a race capable of self-govern ment we might conscientiously leave them to their own devices. If the islands were altogether a wilderness, and peopled only by savages, we might withdraw from all responsibility for their future destiny. Neither of these suppositions, however, are true. The total trade of the Philippines, exports and impoits, amounts to about $40,- 000,000 a year. There are commercial and other interests centered at Manila and other Philippine ports which re quire protection by a responsible gov ernment, and the nations whose mer chants have important trading and industrial establishments on the islands might justly demand that we should assume a stewardship in lieu of that of Spain, which we have destroyed. By the force of circumstances we have thus become, and will be obliged to remain—at least temporarily—an Asiatic Power. Should we deem the duties thus imposed upon us too onerous, or of a character that we have no aptitude to perform, it might, perhaps, be difficult to find a power, upon whose con tinued friendship we could rely, that would be willing to assume our burden. There are two governments, those of Japan and Great Britain, whose attachment to the principles of free trade and whose identity of inter ests in the far east with our own would make a transfer to them of the Philip pines an act of wise policy. A transfer to Japan would be peculiarly fitting— the Philippines being geographically a part, of that Island Empire—and by such devolution of power we should recognize the principle of "Asia for the Asians," which would be kindred in spirit to our own declaration of "America for Americans." In view of the strong and possibly forcible opposi tion which would be made by a Franco-Russo-German combination to a tranfer of the Philippines, either to England or to Japan, perhaps neither of those powers would be disposed to accept the islands at the risk of invit ing European intervention. There are other considerations in volved in the settlement of this ques tion, however, which might have a controlling influence upon our deci sion. We have become the most productive industrial nation in the world i and because of the cheapness and superior quality of our manufac tured and agricultural products the time is near at hand when our foreign commerce will exceed that of any other people. VVe shall be obliged to afford protection to our shipping on every sea and to ,our merchants in every region of the earth. To this end our navy will have to be second to none—and, perhaps, superior to that of several malevolent rivals in sea power. We shall need repair depots and coaling stations conven iently located as bases for naval oper ations when war snail have closed ueutral ports to our ships. If one of the vessels of Commodore Dewey's squadron had been seriously crippled in the fight at Manila it must neces sarily have been abandoned. Averse as we may be to territorial accessions beyond the sea, the retention of some part of the Philippine group for the uses and purposes indicated may be come inevitable. All suggestions in reference to the future of the Philippine must be re garded, however, as having been made tentatively and with many reser vations. We should meet problems as they arise—not anticipate them. It is fairly clear, nevertheless, that our war in aid of Cuba has assumed di mensions undreamed of by those who forced the country into the conflict. Our international political relations have become as complicated as are those of Great Britain. Willy nilly we have entered upon out career as a world power.— Record.

Despite the action of the radical Gorma'nites in forcing the free silver issue at the recent meeting of the Democratic State Committee, it is manifest that a large number of more conservative Democrats who support ed Bryan for President have not given up the idea of prevailing upon the Democratic State convention to run the Gubernatorial campaign upon State issues. Representative free sil ver Democrats of the type of v ex- Judgd Krebs, of Clearfield ; P. Gray Meek, of Centre ; James A. Strana han, of Mercer ; George A. Jenks, ot Jefferson, and Chauncey F. Black, ot York, have been giving the subject very careful consideration, and they are emphatically opposed to the Gar man idea. A number of leading Democrats have agreed to advocate a platform which Will set forth that in the choice of the State officers to be elected next fall no national issues are at stake. They ask that attention be directed to abuses of power by public officials, extravagance in the manage ment of State departments, the crea tion of unnecessary official places, which the party shall be pledged to abolish, as well as to check by veto all appropriations for junketing trips, and they propose planks for the plat form calling for a simplified ballot law that shall at the same time give se crecy and protection to the voter and check corruption of electors and others urging the enactment of legis lation prohibiting the formation of trusts and monopolies which prevent free competition in trade. The men in the movement propose that the State convention shall ex press the belief that its delegates recognize the right of the delegates to the national convention to declare the principles and define the policies of the party on national issues, and to freely accept these declarations as binding upon State and local organi zations until changed by a subsequent national convention. They hold that members of the party have the right to settle for themselves the issues to be raised in the election of members of Congress in the several districts, but contend that no national policies are at stake in the choice of a Gov ernor at the coming election.— Ex.

The war in which we are now en gaged is not an unmixed evil, but, on the contrary, for some people it is a beneficial occurence. The needs of the government have al ready made necessary the purchase for the military establishment of 450,000 yards of woolen goods. Bids have also been called for the supplying of 1,4000,000 yards of kerseys and flannels and for 75,000 blankets of five pounds each. The consequences of this war among, others, will be the relieving of the dullness that had prevailed in the woolen manufacturing business, be cause the stocks that were on hand will be sold off. It will also allow of fresh manufacturing in that line, and the wool that had been bought and stored away in anticipation of tariff changes will now be manufac tured into woolen goods. The war certainly must have an improving effect on the business mentioned. The wool markets, if peace prevailed, would be weak on account of large supplies of material and the nearness of another clip, but warfare will have a steadying effect.
