CUSCt RUSSIAN BLOUSE. I front ar.d sur.-ound the acrordcon-rlalt-ed ikivt of tin" coat and also the dainty cane a'lout the siiouiders. The mat is si nplc ftiot,h for a rare wrap, practi c:.l enough for day driving and el gant enough for evening outgoing. Another garment suitable either for ,Jay or evening is a coat of black tafl'-tai , enibrolde-ed with little hunches of pink i rosifl and finished with a lovely long ' collar and an areordeon plaited pink j iutron lining. A delightfully pictur I ehtjue evening coat Is in while spotted Inale green taffetas with some very quaintly guaged silk trimmings and i soft Alencon lace trimmings. A cloak of delicate Alencon lace is transparent ly mounted on rose-pink accordeon plaited chiffon and has the sweetest diamante black silk collar. Black taffetas coats never had the same vogue before as they are to have this eason. They are worn short and long for any and every purpose. I saw n a leading atelier yesterday a con trasting pair of three-quarter taffetas coats. One of these was straight and ample, the other close-fitting with long plaited basques. Both were decorated with that trimming par excellence of the modish coat, linen guipure. The loose coat was faced down Its front 3 as well as on collar and sleeve cuffs, by the chic linen guipure. The other, of close-fitting style, is apptteft with guiqure medallions and otherwise fin ished with black chiffon frills. They are both coats suitable for day or even ing wear and both almost indispensa ble garments. A SELF-MACE WOMAN. The Early Life of the Empress of China.

Paris letter: Already, I suppose, in America, plans are being made for the summer exodus from the cities, and one will be wanting to order their sporting and other outing costumes. There is Just now In the ateliers here an epidem ic of displays of automobillng, cycling, moutaln and yachting frocks, to all of which the up-to-date woman must give attention. Though the ensemble of tbtse costumes do sporte is trim and ele gant, they are much more fanciful than for several seasons past. The automo bile Is the only costume which Indicates severity, and this, beside the other gowns, does appear exceedingly Mralghtlaced. The most popular com bination for these garments appears to be black, specked with faint white spots, although they may be seen in blue, brown and dark red; serve home spun and cheviot being the favored ma terials. The smooth-surfaced goods seem to have been neglected altogether this season. A high standing collar and black satin tie finish off the neck of the shirt worn beneath the Jacket and produce a natty effect. The skirts of these cos tumes de sporte are an men ana a nan longer than those worn last year. The new soullers de sporte are of plain, soft leather, buttoned and both broad-toed and flat-heeled. A pretty mountain costume seen in the Rue Auber was In black cheviot, with tiny spots of white. Although the skirt was made divided the plaits hung together so deftly In front and back that one could never have noticed the cut was not that of an ordinary short Jupe. The Jacket Inclined to be long and was trimmed in stitched bands of the goods. Quite a number of little nockets were dotted about the front and there was a tiny one. intended tor bo inconceivable purpose, under the w In the sleeve.

Dillon, in "Suceess" for June: Tsu-Tsl, the empress of China, has lived in a period of transition. Within the space of a few decades! the stormwind, Imprisoned for ages, burst over the time-forgotten land of China, where peace had found a sure harborage for generations, shattering creeds and customs, hopes and strivings. The se cred city of Mukden, where the molder lng remains of the founders of the Man chu dynasty mingle with .the living roots of hardy pine and weeping willow, became a Russian town, and the very capital of the empire was plowed intc chaos of ruins; but, amid the crash ol the old and the onslaught of the new Tsu-Tsl alone endured, keeping her seat on the tottering throne and bowlni neither head nor knee.

Straps of narrow black velvet, fastened Into the belt, form, the lower part of the bolero. Over the shoulders black velvet is fastened with rhlnestone buckles and ornaments of tuckedhlf fon edged with black lace. The elbow sleeve is fastened with narrow velvet ribbon, with full undersleeve of white chiffon. There are ornaments at the head of the shaped ruffle of tucked chif fon and lace outlined with velvet. A white hat with large bow and ends of ribbon goes appropriately with this costume. Among the newest pretty over gar ments observed and Illustrated Is a Jacket of tucked peau de sole, edged with white taffeta, embroidered in black dots. It is made with large turned back cuffs and vest of white polka dotted silk. A nobby summer Russian blouse, also illustrated, is of red Venetian cloth and has a green velvet upper to the collar, which Is outlined with red braid. The vest is of red., with a fine green plaid. A very clever coat idea which Is be ing executed for the wife ot an Ameri can multi-millionaire is carried out In that useful yet most becoming natural creamy tone Indian tussore silk; The hv a border of tabac brown velvet. The velvet, braided over with a gold tlsVue galoon, also forms a charming collar. Cloth of tussore color forms tlje bor ders of narrow straight flounces which some mystic Ariadne clue which helpt her thread her way through the wllder ing labyrinth which time and the white race have so skillfully woven for hei people and herself. Hardly less strange is the fact that freshness of youth, which, clinging tc her still, despite the years and the wor rles that have fallen In their train, com' bines with so much else that striker and fascinates to raise her to a place high above that of the average of hei contemporaries. With a frail form with eyes keen and stern In repose, but soft and caressing when the features re lax into a smile, a voice that singes the soul when used In anger, yet soothes and softens, like dulcimers' strains, when addressing her friends, she can attune herself to every mood and touch the wellsprings of most people whe come within the sphere of her personal influence. Despite her 65 years, years of storm and stress, age has not yet wound his soft white blossoms round the .brows still furrowlesa of Tsu Taj," nor bleached the mellow color of het cheeks. She is the allegory of per petoal youth. To say that this daughter of an ob scure and penniless huckster is a self made woman, who, by dint of will pow er and Insight, won her way to a throne whence she molds the fate of a people of 400,000,000, Is to convey but a faint and far-away Idea of the part she has fronts are graced by sumptuous realttlaycd in carving her own curious ca- fllet lace, on the Inner side BuppofteAyer.

A wiae giraiwu iuui.ru Job had no trouble In finding his way to the lawyer's house, despite the gath ering night. He walked like a man who is sure of his way. As he came near the humble looking cottage he paused for a moment in hesitation. Looks like the abode of innocence and peace," he muttered. "Foxes are careful not to betray the character of their holes from the outside. I wonder how the years have dealt.with the worthy Henslow? I hardly thought a man of his ambitions would be satis fied to rust In a country town all his ufe." He approached nearer the house, and stood for a moment looking up at the windows. "Not a light in sight. I wonder if the family are all away. At least, she is here, and that is all I care for. I should not lika greatly to come in con tact with the lawyer." He mdved around to a side of the building, and stood for a moment de bating what to do tinder the circum stances. The place wore such a de serted look that he waa undecided. .As he stood there in the shadow of a tree he was awar of a step in the road, and drew back closer into the shadows. A man came into view whose features he could not make oat, but who seem ed to be dressed in well-fitting clothes and carried himself with a certain Jaunty air. The newcomer as he approached the house seemed to be looking from right to left, as If he feared to be seen. He walked past the building, peering into the shadows. Job Hendricks crowded back against the fence abong the bushes and wondered why he was not discov ered. The stranger, having satisfied him aif that there was no one In the neigh borhood, went up to the front door of the cottage and rapped on it sortiy in a necullar way. Job had instlnctly drawn near to watch what happeded. Presently the door was opened cautiously, and an elderly man with a white beard, shad owing a lamp with one hand, appeared In the doorway. He appeared to be sur prised to sec his visitor, for he uttwed an exclamation that waa hardly expres sive of welcome. The other, without a word, slipped into the hall, and the door closed' noiselessly behind them. "So Henslow is up to his old tricks again," muttered Hendricks. "He still receives people by night on the sly. I xunnilpr who that fellow was? It seems to me that his figure was familiar, nan: What difference does it make? I have something more Important on nana than the lawyer's visitors, n win keep him occupied for a wnne, so mai ters could not have arranged them selves better for roe. On the side of the house was a smau sate which evidently commumcaieu with the rear of the building, and Job, after a moment's thought, pushed this open and entered a narrow path that led along the walls or me nouse. As he made his way siowiy ana cau tiously along he became aware of a strange humming sound, as if some one were crooning a lullaby, i ne moon nan now risen, and as he reach the back of the house he saw a slimier, woman ish figure seated under a tree In the garden.

She sat there, he face resting on one arm, which was flung about a lower branch of the tree, looking very sad In her black dress, which accentuated the pal lor of her face. Job did not move his eyes, fixed yearningly on the white features, while i la Una moved, though not a sound came from 'thorn. Many minute he stood- there motionless, as if he could not look enough at the girt Derore mm Thnutfh he made no sound or betray ed any more life than the trees in the garden, she seemed w learn inaiiuc tl vely that she was not atan awl.tura- ml with an evcliimation: V " "Who are you what do you want?"tl As she po-n aavancea a x-w paces toward him In he moonlight.

Having seized it, she paid no further attention to him, but ran over to me poTh of the house, where a lantern, burning dimly, hung rrom one oi we riliars. Job watched her while she read the lines, her pale face transfigured. How he does seem to love the poor fallow," ho murmured, with a certain loneine In his voice, as if speaking of one of whom he was envious. "It must be a satisfaction to be loved like that. It did not take her long to reaa tne message and then, throating it in tne bosom of her dress, she returned to the man who stood waiting, eying her with an air of uneasy Interest 'I don't know who you you are," she ' It don t matter," n.e aaaea nummj. "But you are a friend of Dick's, and, tiiortfore ft friend of mine," ana sne held out her hand. He took it in his great rough paw and held it so long that finally with a quick gesture she drew It away, regarding him curiously. why, poor man, you are wturyiue.

"Many years, my child, many years." Then, as If wishing to change the sub ject which had become painful to him, "I hope that note I brought you la the means of cheering you up. You have troubles of your own " "The deepest trouble that can fall on a nanirhter." with a catch in her voice. "to lose my mother and then that Dick should be accused. But they can't thv wnii't do anvthlng to harm him will they?" seizing Job's arm eagerly. "No no. of course not," he said slowly. . ' ' How doubtfully you say mai, pi tiably. "But when he is innocent We shall get him on, no aouut, uui it will take time.

You are very kind and I thank you In advance. We have need or every friend we can muster In this hour of trial," and she held out her hand again frankly, whil? Job raised' it to his lips. "Now you w!!! see Dick again?" If it Is possible and perhaps 1 stmu l ave as much luck ag I had today," and tio tnlrl her of his experience. "Oh. there is so much to tell mm mat I should never know how to begin. But I am sure this separation cannot last long. Papa, I'm confident, believes in hlslnnocence.as. if he has done nothing as jet.

"Don't ho h; aeon mend, mv dear, for the law yo.i know, moves slowly,-and it will take some time to get him freed.M.Then as he glanced up at the house and saw a light In one of the windows, he said: "Butt Is time 1 was going, miss, rur certain reasons I don't fancy meeting with Mr. Henslow or any of the re3t of N00Opl9." R.iTvitiJiaven't told me your "I never heard Dick mention that name before." "Probably not, since we never met until toMay.and then for the first time." She looked at him in such a puzzled way that he smiled. "Justsot me down as one who wishes young people well and will do all that lies In his power to see you safely through this trouble." She fixed her eyes on him for a mo ment wistfully, and then with some hr Fttatlon, as if asking a favor: "I would like to write him a long letter, but It would take some time. There is so much that I want to say to him " "Then you need not write, there is a way direct and generally better," ex claimed a voice bo near that they both ttarted. "Dick!" you here?" exclaimed the young girl as the school teacher stepped out of the shadows. "Yes, the real article," and he drew her tf ward him and kissed her. "There's nothing ghostly about that. Is there?" and he beld her out at arms" length with both hands, smiling as If the shadow of the bars had never sep arated them. "Come, you don't seem glad to see me," as she did not sneak. "Glad? That is a faint word to use, but it all seems so strange that you should be here." "Strange, but true." "Then they have set you UttVy eagerly. "No such luck.

Portland Oregonian: j An interesting and valuable study of roses and rose culture was nresented by F. V. Holman at the meeting of the Portland" Rose club. Mr. Holman'B address was along popular lines, dealing with the ; home ouitiira of roses among those of limited experience, rather than with the ex-. pert growing of cnoice various. A brief outline of the suggestions made is as follows: J Position Attention should be given t to choosing a place for rose busies. . All roses require some sunshine, but t some need only the morning sun, whllo some thrive best in the hottest places. Drainage Portland son is a cy that packs if the drainage is not good.
