Washington, April 2.—There is no au— thority for the statement that in the preliminary correspondence leading to the demand upon Spain for an imme- diate answer it was suggested that if Spain could not arrange with Cuba the terms upon which independence was to be granted McKinley might act as arbitrator. The Spam: h Govern- ment, however, was assured in advance that the President would insist on Cu- ban independence as the necessary out- come of negotiations through arbitra— tion or otherwise. Beet Sugar Experiments. V'ashington, April 2.—'Dhe President sent to Congress a. report Of Secretary \Vilson on the beet sugar experiments of the Government. The Secretary concludes that the facts and figures presented in the voluminous document justifies devotion of Uime, money and talents to the development of the in- dustry, inasmuch as the total amount of sugar now imported into the United States can be produced upon 1,000, 000 acres devoted to sugar crops. Spain Sparring for Time. Washington, April 2.—The idea pre- vails here that Spain is playing the diplomatic game and that the decree of General Blanco, by which the recon- centrados were liberated, was a crafty move toward gaining time. The treat- ment of the reconcen‘trados has been made the prime issue by the United Stutcs. l1 is believed that the Sag-asta Ministry hopes by the Blanco proc- lamation. which they will contend has been a virtual granting of everything America has a right to demand, to pre- vent the immediate recognition of the independence of Cuba.

BETWEEN OURSELVES. ‘j A Little Chat About Things too Small to Interest the Lords._ That women age—that is, become old in appearance—more quickly that the members of the sterner sex, is ,a. mat- ter of everyday observation; it is .1 matter of such common knowledge, that very few of us stop to ask why it is so. Yet it is surely a question which deserves more general atten- tion, seeing that it touches us all very nearly. The son regrets to see his mother, who has lavished such care upon him, looking “old before her time”; and the husband naturally likes his wife to preserve the fresh- ness of youth as long as possible. What, then, are the causes of this rapid ageing, and can they heire- moved? The most important factor in this fading of the bloom of youth among women is worry. Woman is more deli- ) . cately constructed that man, her nerves are more highly strung; hence the effect of worry upon her organization is always greater than upon the man. And woman has far greater opportunities for worry than the lord of creation. Speaking generally, a woman has to depend upon a man for her living. A man, if he be worried, has to throw it of! and turn his attention to current business duties: the wife’s duties are confined to the household, and are chiefly mechanical, thus leaving her mind free to occupy itself with any subject of uneasiness that may arise. For instance, the wife at home—— confined within the four walls of her dwelling—worries over the fact that her husband’s business is not pros- pering; whereas he, although just as much interested, has his mind occu- pied with thc transaction of current affairs and has not the same oppor- tunity to indulge in disquieting reflec- tion. Moreover, the worry acts more disastrously on her finer nerves than upon his. It is women, rather than men, who “go round the corner to meet trouble,” as someone has ex- pressed it. Everybody knows that worry kills more people than work does. Another reason why women fade more quickly than men is that they develop more speedily. Take a. boy and a girl of the same age and watch them; you will find at the end of a. given period that the girl has learnt more and is developed to a greater extent that the boy. The natural re- sult of this rapid development is a. correspondingly earlies loss of fresh- ness. Physical inferiority is another cause of early decay; the wear and tear of existence tells upon her sooner than. upon a man. Of these three causes, it is possible to do something to counteract two at least. It is possible to increase their physical strength and to find mental occupation which will prevent them from worrying so much. Both objects may be attained to a great extent by the same means. If a. woman is to protect herself from the ravages of worry,-and so re- tain her youth for a longer period, she must come into more frequent con- tact with other people—as her hus- band does—and read good books; she must relieve the monotony of her duties and the limiting influence of confinement within four walls by tak- ing outdoor exercise—a. walk every day or a spin on a bicycle; in short, she must exercise the body and mind in a healthful manner, and she will find the bloom of youth and health re- main with her for years after it has faded in other women of the same 1 e. g“The ordinary woman,” says a. cele- brated physician, “leads such a. men— otonous existence that her mind has no occupation but worry; she is al« most made up of worry upon worry. What she needs is to come out of her- self much more than she does. She must have intercourse "with more peo- ple and take more exercise. This can. be done without neglecting the home, and every right-minded man will do his best to secure for his mother, or his sister, or his wife these aids to the retention of youthfulness of body and mind.” Confirmed the Unspoken Verdict. ‘ As women grow manly, men ac- cordingly take 011 the airs of feminin- ity. Ten years ago one never saw a man calmly stop to survey himself in any mirrow the way all men do now without a trace of a. blush. Men have been seen to adjust their ties in the reflection of a plate-glass shop window, or to brush specks of dust. Off their collars as they pretended to be looking at the contents of a showcase, when, in reality, they were looking into the glass itself; and if there is not a large glass in the men’s dressing—room at a dance or reception there is a growl. A man prettylfar advanced in the downward path of vanity got on an elevator the other day that was cer- tainly intended for a. big store instead of a business office, inasmuch as it was mirror-lined on three sides. There was a young woman also in it, but he did not pay very much attention to her. He stood and looked at himself in- terestedly, critically, anxiously. He smoothed one eyebrow, twisted his moustache, and wiped the dust off his forehead; then he turned his head to one side and examined his face; a 'frown appeared between his eyes, and he started nearer the glass. He had forgotten there was anyone else on earth. “Yes, ” spoke up a. sweet, small voice at his elbow, “it is really too bad, but you me right in your surmise—your nose is set on a little erool i8dl3’!" BLACK AND ‘VHITE SUMMER GOWN Black and White Summer Gown. A summer gown in the black and white effect so popular in Paris is quaint in many little ways, the bodice being particularly noticeable for the l‘itest novelty——Lhc old-time under- sleeve. New styles of contrasting sleeves will be much favored as the season advances. » The material of the gown is white taffeta patterned with black polka dots in groups of three, though the design may be more simply made of foulard, challie, or linen. The model is an ad- vantageous one for refurbishing an old gown. The ruffled skirt with llounces reaching to the waist has the new six- gored foundation skirt, three a (1 one- half yards wide at the foot. Double- quillings of black silk muslin border each fiounce, as well as the full 'rufl‘les of the waist and the pufi'ed caps which surmount the sleeves. The pointed HARPER'S BAZAR FROM neck, edged back and front with a band of fine tucks in black muslin, shows a full guimpc of sheer White silk lawn, which forms also the lower part of the bodice. The transparent under- sleeves, passing under ruflied caps. are finished at the wrist with a pointed cuff of tucked black muslin and a full fl‘lll of lawn. Narrow velvet bands pass over the shoulders, back and front, joinediby small knots with many loops. The collar is plainly draped, and the waist is encircled by a velvet ribbon drawn through a. pearl buckle. The proper cut of the gown can be obtained only from the patterns published by Harper’s Bazar, where it appears. Approximate quantity of material for gown; Silk for lining, 14 yards; taffeta. silk for fiounces and waist, 14 yards; black muslin, 5 yards; lawn, 21}: yards; velvet ribbon, 2 yards.
