STRAW HAT HAS HIGH CROWN.
Wing Collar the Correct Thing.
the Wings Being Much Larger
Thau Thc-e Formerly
in Vogue.
When tho really hot weather comes this
summer it will bo found that the high-
'ass river suit will no longer be made of
Sannel, or rather of flannel-finished an
gola, but of sergo or cashmere, and that
both troupers and Jacket will be pure
Miite.
The whlto suits will bo made with the
corners a good deal rounded, as. Indeed,
tho comers of all Jackets' aro gradually
tending- to bo made, and the Haps of the
pockets will also bo much rounded.
Somo of these flips are made actually
semicircular .1 weird effect; but there is
no need to go all that length. There will
bo no external h indkerchief pocket an
omission which I think regrettable, though
It makes ir smartness, mu a writer in
the Habcrd isher. Somo tailors aro omit
ting Uic ticket pocket, but this is a mis
take; men want a place to carry matches,
and thcro Is no real objection In these
dajs of exquisitely thin match-twees
against a tlcket-pockct made Inside on
the left nt about tho height of tho hip.
Mother o' pearl buttons, not too large, are
used, and th lapels nro rolled low.
Tha trouMirs aro slightly looser than
those worn with other suits, and fairly
long, as they wiU bo worn turned up.
Brown boots, bo much In cvldenco last
year, will not be worn with this suit, but
whlto buckskin or white canvas ones. Of
course, this suit will "go" admirably with
tho
rather showy shirtings which, as I
coma time, ago predicted here.
much the fashion this summer.
Tho proper collar la a fold, with upright
fronts If preferred, and certainly with
rounded corners, and tho proper cravat a
knot In black or very dark blue, without
any pattern. This, 1 fancy, exhausts the
subject of river dress.
KBW COLORED SHIRTS.
, Although highly colored shirts aro to be
worn on tha river, I do not sea any reason
for thinking that other than whlto shirts
' will bo worn la ordinary dress this jear.
' Even soft-front whlto ones or plain flan
a nel shirts, arc now not at all good wear
I with a morning coat. But I notice that
f soma men aro wearing whits shirts with a
pleated front with tho morning coat, and
a very cool and comfortable device this
will be when the warm weather tets In.
With a frock suit, however, a stiff white
shire must be worn.
All shirts are still made with the "sma.ll-
rounu culls, and there is not the least
sign of this pattern being abandoned, as,
, Indeed, there is no reason why it should
, oe. square cutis are ugu , they soil qulck
' ly (especially when an English Iaundry
( has sot in Its wicked work on them) and
. they aro apt to catch In tho sleeve lin
ing of tho coat when th,e latter is being
put on.
On the other hand, tha old stylo of
full-rounded cuffs looks slovenly, while
tho small-round Htyle has both conven
ience and appearance to recommend it to
tho publla taste ,and comfort
Being on the subject It may as well be
mentioned that tha best hat to bo worn on
tha River Thames this summer will bo a
straw, with a somewhat higher crown
than usual, and a black riband.
As I had occasion to remark as early
as last summer, the Panama has outlived
Its greatest vogue.
To say this Is not to Imply that many
people, and even many smart people, will
not bo w earimr Panamas. They often will.
But tho Panama has been so greatly vul
garized by cheap copies that even though
the expenslveness of a real Panama may
mako some men who have Invested In such
a hat reluctant to leave off wearing It
until they aro obliged to. a strawvard will
be the hat for the really smart crowd at
Henley and In the upper reaches during
the riv er season, which sets In after Hen
ley. For golf and other land sports the Nor
folk suit continues to be the most ap
proved outfit, and it Is Worn with a low
fold collar and a colored knot, Harris
tweed Is the most satisfactory material,
and browns and heather mixtures are the
colors, though. Indeed, there is ample lat
1 ltude.
HAND LOOMED SCARF.
There Is not much that is new In the de
partment called "cravatiana." The puff
and the Ascot aro the alternatives for
frock coat wear; puffs and sometimes
knots are worn with the black morning
coat;vknots with the fancy morning coat
and tlio Jacket; bows nowhere except, of
course, with evening dress.
A very agreeable range of cravat silks,
especially for loose-ended knots and pulls,
lias bven Introduced and is finding f.ior
with a very exclusive set at the West End
of London
It is of rich, dull-surfaced, hand-loomed
silk, of a smoke-gray ground color, rather
farmer In tint than a gray sucdo glove;
and It has a moderate-sized design-spot
Wttern. Tho effect, especially with a
black or gray morning coat, is extremely
pleasing, and I should not be surprised to
see quite a rairo spring up for this thing
as the season goes along.
In collars the most important thing to
be recorded is the distinct differentiation
which has established itself in regard to
the wing shapo.
The wing collar la the formal collar of
this year's London spring season, and
the wings themselves nro larger than they
were last year by nearly 73 per cent,
though they aro not folded any further
Vwk.
In other words. If the collar were laid
out flat, tho wings would bo seen to
project oeyona xne ena lines of the tabs.
Thus tho opeidng at the middle of the
neck, between tho wings, is small, but
the wings themselves are fairly large.
But the point of differentiation is In the
shape of the corners, and I wish to make
it verv clear.
These corners can be either sharp or
rounded. The round-cornered wing collar
is full dress: tha sharp-cornered wing col
lar is only semldress. Therefore, a round
pointed collar should be worn with (l)
evening dress, except where a dinner
Jacket Is worn: (2) e frock coat: 3) a
black morning coat, and a sharp-pointed
twine cMlar should be worn with (1) a
Ulnncr Jacket. (2) a gray semldress morn
lnc coat outfit.
I With a twcd Jacket a two or a two-and-n-quarter-lnch
fold collar is correct; with
ri flannel river suit a two-Inch fold collar;
with a Norfolk (unless used for riding)
An incli-and-three-ouarters fold collar.
Military upright collars and poke collars
are not worn at all.

written- ron THU siwday republic.
An enterprising American business man
In Santiago owns a section of the battle
ground several miles around tho ridge
from San Juan. He showed me a line run
ning in front of his country house, where
tho historic trench had been before he had
filled it up.
"Why did you fill It up?" said I. "What's
(he good of a hole in the ground?" said
he. "Besides, I can easily have it dug out
again If I .houId ever want It." Sentiment
Is rare at close range.
There was a Wall street broker in the
Ret gh Riders' trench. I came upon him
while le was cooking a p'ecc of dough
over a smoky Are on his mess tin. The
dough was made from real flour, and
therein lay its great value, for Hour and
things soft made from Hour were un
known at that time at the front. He in
vited me to sharo his precious luncheon;
It was black and greasy without, having
soaked up the s diment of bacon grease
from the mes tin. It was simply mlved
with water from the muddy river, but it
was soft and tit for the gods.
TAKING THE HILL.
Standing on the top of San Juan hill and
lcoking down the slope and across the
hollow to Kettle Hill, I try to forget the
peaceful dairy herd which Is grazing on
the historic ground, and turning backward
to that steaming dav six venr.s nun T
imagine- 1 see the taking of the hill all
ever agoln. Irregular lines and groups and
single figures in dark blue Khirts urn
cl.mbing and wavering and rushing up
the slope, stopping to Are. and then on
and up again, while over their heads tho
bullets and the shells from our infantry
and artillery rush with whine and roar,
keeping the Spaniards down as much as
possible.
As the climbers approach tha top some
of our shells burst too close to them, but
on they go, until the gunners have to stop
firing rather than hit friends. They are
close to the top, when the Spaniards turn
and fly. and leaders yell and wave their
hats to those below, who yell in turn
and wavo their hats; then down the line
jell goes on. back past the field hos
pital at Bloody Angle, back past El Paso,
where the exhausted gunners are breath
ing free, back past the Cuban reserves,
back to whero General Shatter sits sick
on his cot, where tha yell tells him that
the day is won.
Captain Paget, tho English naval at
tache, stood with a pair of field glasses
glued to his ejes and a running stream of
comment upon what he was seeing bab-
iMing irom nis lips, "xneyre firing shrap-
neu uy jove, mat was closel Ah. too
short! That's better! A little lower, a
little lower! Excellent! Excellent! Hur
rah! That hit them square! There are our
men beginning to go up the hill. Look
out! That shell of ours was too close to
our men! There go the Spaniards. They're
running! Our men are waving their hats!
Hurrah! They are at the top! I must be
in this!"
And away he went, stalking to the front.
And with him went the little group who of
all the thousands there were probably the
only ones to see broadly the taking of San
Juan.
Stephen Crane was one of us, and Major
Shlba, the Japanese attache, now on ar
tlllerv commander, trj lng some of the les
sons ho learned that day on tho Russians
In Manchuria.
ON THE ROAD TO SAN JUAN.
On the road to San Juan squads of our
men wcro hunting Spanish sharpshooters
from their hiding places In the trees.
There was a hospital corps man being
carried to tho rear on his own litter, shot
through tho lungs as he was helping a
wounded man A line old olllccr In snowy
mustacho and Imperial, Colonel Grlscomc,
afterwards Colonel of the Ninth Infantry.
I think it wa". came down the road with
his arm around the broad shoulder of a
trooper, who was leading the way very
gently.
To anxious Inquiries as to his condition
the Colonel replied courteously. "Oh, I
am all right, thank jou." I saw him later
in the Philippines, not long before he was
killed at Tlen-Tsln.
Men who were .ble to walk at all wero
sent DacK to tne rear out of the way.
Thero were no ambulances at the-front at
that time, and wonderful were some of
the feats performed by men so badly
wounded that the marvel was that they
were able to stand at all. One Rough
Rider stopped to show lis where he had
been hit five times by the same bullet. He
was strolling back, still holding to his
gun.
THE "BLOODY ANGLE."
Where tho San Juan River crosses the
road was the field hospital, afterwards
known as "Bloody Angle." Here tho
wounded got their flrst aid dressing, and
if thoy could move were sent off 10 the
rear to make room for others whose
wounds were to stain the waters of the
river. Some men died and were burled on
tho spot where they fell.
Thero is a little group of graves at
"Bloody Angle." where Chaplain Swift
tolled for several dajs and nights, although
wounded himself, taking charge of the few
possessions and making notes of the last
messages of the djing men. Thero came
for several dajs after officers and others
looking for the missing; the photograph of
Colonel Wood, now Major General Wood,
was made while he was looking for dead
men at "Bloody Angle."
It took a number of able bulled men to
help the wounded to the r ". I met two
coming down the road looking so nearly
dead that I stopped them, and the onlj
one who had the power of speech left in
him gasped. "Oh. it was terrible? Oh. it
was terrible!" "Where are jou hit?" I
asked him. "I'm not hit." said he. "I'm
helpln' him " "Where Is he hit, then? '
"Oh. he ain't hit. either; he's prostrated
with the heat. Oh, it was terrible!"
For several daj-s there was a grave In
the middle of the path by the side of the
main road. No hole had been dug, the
earth was merelj- plied up over the dead
man and we had to turn out of the path
In ordr to pass. ulturos sailed in circles
over the mound and from out of tho loose
earth tho dead hand of the soldier was
held out nppeallnglv. as though protesting
at this Indecent burial.
MISSION OF THE VULTl'RES.
The vultures swarmed, filling the
branches of trees and hovering in flocks
along the line of the light. I nw none
of them on my recent visit to Pan Juan.
I remembered a horse that had fallen nnd
been abandoned; it was not dead, but its
ejes were gone, and tho vultures flapped
heavily away nt my appro ich.
The retreat of the Spaniards was strewn
with dead horses, and lwtwecn our llns
and the new- ones the Spaniards took up
the carcasses remained buiclllrg to hl'jh
heaven while the vultures soared happily
in tho fumes.
It is difficult at this distance to appre
ciate tho disgusting phj-sicnl discomforts
of the campaign. We camped at head
quarters and within a ston-'s throw- of
the General's tent No attempt at the
most primitive sanltarv arrangements

Every physician of
to attend women who imagined that they were in the last stages of some dire
female malady, when upon examination the fact was revealed that obstructed
physiology of the stomach or bowels was the whole cause of the trouble.
The physician, however, who has not had experience may fall into the
error of diagnosing grave diseases of the female system when they do not
exist, because disorders of the bowels may be neglected until they give many
of the appearances of female disease. The bowels have been known to become
so clogged with hardened contents as to produce a condition closely resembling
uterine displacement, uterine prolapse (falling of the womb), and the sick
headache which is often attributed to female diseases is most often actually
due to some trouble in the digestive machinery involving the liver, stomach,
bowels or the great "Solar Plexus' which is the central telegraph station
from which nervous messages are transmitted to and from all the organs
in the abdominal cavity.
