A fashion column praises simple yet smart tailor made gowns with pale rose, turquoise, and pink tones. It highlights corsage details, tef fata and foulard combines, new checks and mohair fabrics, and a revival of the frilled elbow sleeve for thin gowns.
Fashion notes describe bolero influenced silhouettes with defined waistlines and chic coats in black taffeta and glace silk. Also guidance on refreshing aged willow or rattan chairs with stain in sienna tones, plus painting or enameling harder rattan before finishing with varnish.
The piece recounts Armenian massacres as Turkish forces killed and wounded many while reforms were pursued by a Franco-Russian-English commission. It details US indemnity claims against Turkey, the sultan’s repeated promises to pay, and the repeated delays in reconstruction funds, likening the sultan to a hard debtor until force compels action.
The piece promotes a colonial style cottage of two stories with attic storage, balloon framing, stone foundation, white pine finish, and ornate woodwork in oak and pine. It notes a hot air furnace, veranda details, and brick chimneys, claiming complete erection cost at $2,000.
The Exchange remarks that true beauty in home architecture lies in a pristine colonial style. Do not force fads like gables or turrets to chase novelty, as that wrecks harmony. The ideal house remains perfectly congruent and unfussy.
The United States seeks 90000 for damage to American missionary property in 1890s Armenia. For years US ministers pressed the Turkish sultan for reparations, noting Karput and Marash Euphrates College losses amid massacres aided by troops and mobs.
