" .HIS is the centenary of the Independence of Peru and Peru has beerii celebrating the anniversary with pomi^T^-'-^ and circumstance at its capital, Limaf. and elsewhere. Virtually all the lead*.-, ing nations of the world, as well as1 the smaller ones, were invited to par? » ticlpate in the celebration. Most of them accepted and took part. The United States sent the battleships Oklahoma and Arizona and a./ special embassy headed by Albert ? 1| Douglas. France, Italy and Spalu al*. •' so sent battleships; the French em* ^ bassy Included General Mangin, the defender of? Verdun. Great Britain sent (Jen. Lord Dundonald^ 1^ grandson of that Lord Cochrane who played si* i; A, large a part in the liberation of Peru. Argentina1. * «ent two battleships, an embassy pnd a regiment f of grenadiers, the traditional descendants of the troops which accompanied Gen. Jose de San Martin, Peru's, liberator. Eighteen nations sent embassies and thirteen others sent special missions. Possibly the principal feature of the celebration was the unveiling of an equestrian statue of Gen, Jose de San Martin, (1778-1850), the Argentine , leader who was the leading figure in the campaign for Peru's independence. San Martin was born « In Argentine and served In Spain against th«£ ? French (1793-1811), attaining the rank of lieuten* ant colonel. In 1812 he went to Buenos Aires and joined the patriots who declared Argentine's independence in 1816. He did something new in striking at the Spanish in Peru by marching over the Andes to Chile. He declined the office ot supreme director of Chile, after his march resulted In that country's freedom. After his operations bad won Lima, he was proclaimed supreme protector of Peru. He resigned the office in 1822 and took no further part in South American affairs. During the celebration the Peruvian government issued a decree through President Leguta providing for the erection in Lima of a monument to. George Washington as "A model of exemplary citizenship and in view of the fact that the political emancipation of the United States was the forerunner of the Independence of the Hispano-Amerlcan nations." This action of the Peruvian government 1s well taken and the decree 1s based on historical truth. The success of the American Revolution of 1770 and that of France of 1789 encouraged the hopef -• of the Hispano-Amerlcan patriots who were dreaming of liberty. These hopes, became brighter etlli upon the conquest of Spain by France in 1807-8. v - Moreover, the constitutions which were formed in South America during the protracted struggle for Independence from Spain were often modeled upon the Constitution of the United States. It is true, however, that since 1830 constitutional development In South America in general haa been away from the North American federal idea and toward the so-called unitary system in which large powers are vested in the national government. In fact at present all the South American constitutions are more or less unitary, with the exception of those of the Argentine Republic, Brazil and Venezuela. In the beginning Spain entrusted the government of Spanish America to special agents of the throne called viceroys and captains general. Thus In 1773 there were three viceroys in South America. OHO In Bogata controlled the northwest, the viceroyalty of New Grenada. A second In Buenos Aires controlled the southeast, the viceroyalty of La Plata. The third In Lima controlled a large part df the west, the viceroyalty of Perh. One captain gen-^ eral controlled Chile and another Venezuela. Brazil was Portuguese territory. Peru was the center of Spanish power. So, when the provinces began to break away from Spain, it was those at a distance from Peru that first became free. Venezuela was the first of the Spanish American political divisions to declare Its independence from Spain, In 1811. After the patriots under Simon Bolivar had defeated the royalists, a state known as Great Colombia was established in the north; In 1830 it broke into three states: Venezuela, Colombia and Ecuador. In 1816 the United Provinces of La Plata--the historical antecedent of the Argentine Republic --adopted a declaration of Independence. Then came Peru and Bolivia. By 1831 there were in Spanish America nine independent states: Ven4 ezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru. Bolivia, Chiles Paraguay, Uruguay and Argentine. Since their the history of these independent states has been marked by many revolutions and dictatorships. Since Lima was the center of Spanish power In America, the Independence of Peru was essential to the continued Independence of the free states. Now in Peru, although the Creoles (American-born Spaniards) were dissatisfied, the balk of the population was not disloyal. Uprisings in 1811 and 3814 resulted only In the defeat and execution of the leaders. Still, In. 1817 Gen. Joaquin de la Pexoela, the last of the 44 legally constituted roys of Peru, reported that the whole country was ripe for rebellion, and that, although he realised the danger, he was unable to take effective precautionary means, since he could in no way foretell from what direction the blow would come. The toy a I troops at his disposal amounted to 23,000 men --7,815 in Lima and Calfao; 8,485 quartered at Cus- CO, Arequipa, and Xauxa; 6,000 In upper Peru; and /too at Pisco and Caneta on the coast. So It was that preparations to free Peru from Spain were largely made in .distant Buenos Aires, lit 1814 General de San Martin began the task of creating the "Andes Army," his plan of campaign being to march across the Andes to Chile. January 17, 1817, he began his march, with 260 regimental officers and 2,500 foot soldiers. There were three divisions under Generals Las Heras, Al- •vurado and Conde. There were 1,600 horses and '0,281 mules with supplies and equipment. The army, crossing through Uspailata pass (12,- 800 feet) entered Santiago In February. The battle of Maipu, April 5, ended Spanish power In i/hlie. Then San Martin induced the Chileans to glither a fleet, without which successful invasion W Peru could not be made. . Lord Cochrane, a British nobleman with a distinguished naval record, accepted command of-the fteet and hoisted his flag on the O'Higgins December 22, 1818. All the ships were commanded!! by British officers; the one exception was Captain Worster, an American. After several cruises and some minor fighting the fleet returned to Valparaiso in December, 1819.- By this time General de San Martin was nearly ready to embark, having obtained aid from the foreign merchants of Buenos Aires. In August of 1820 he had at Valparaiso a force of 4,500--five Infantry battalions and two regiments of cavalry. " ' August 21 General de San Martin's expedition sailed from Valparaiso, Lord Cochrane in command Of the fleet. September 7 the troops landed In Paraccas hay. After a successful expedition to the Interior, San Martin re-embarked and established headquarters to the north of Lima. San Martin had wisely chosen his headquarters as near the capital as possible. On December 3, 1820, an entire Spanish battalion, 650 strong, consisting chiefly of Colombians, went over to the patriots and, shortly afterwards, 38 Peruvian officers >and a number of cadets arrived from Lima. San Martin's line now extended from the sea to Sayan, a distance of about 20 miles; the Spanish army, under Pezuela, occupying a position about 6 miles north of Lima. Early In 1821 discontent a two jamong the officers In the Spanish army, and on t&e 29th'of Januar^, an Insubordinate letter signed by all of the generals was addressed to the vicetoy, calling upon him to resign and to deliver his W'mmand to Gen. Jose de la Serna. Pezuela had no alternative but to obey, says the Bulletin of the Pan-American Union. »• Immediately after the deposition of the viceroy (kin Martin raised the first battalion of Peruvians. Regardless of the irregularity, de la Serna was declared viceroy, being eventually recognized by the Spanish government, and an emissary arrived , Ctom Spain to ascertain the demands of the patriots and arrange a 'compromise. San Martin, declaring an armistice of 20 days, proposed as a bUsls of peace, recognition of the Independence of the country, the establishment of a provisional con-_ atitution until the election of a congress and the ascension of a Bourbon prince to the throne of Peru. The new viceroy assented, bnt his generals insisted upon the rejection of these proposals. The Bpgotiations were discontinued In May. V Soon Siter this the royalists found it necesssary -tS evacuate the coast, being without ships and Cut "off from all means of communication. The royalist general. Canterac, marched Into the Interior In June, while the viceroy, having garrisoned and provisioned Callao castle (which in September surrendered'to the Protector) left Lima. Jnly 6. On the night of July 9, Gen. San Martin entered the capital of Peru, and on JuTy 28, 1821, the Independence of Peru was proclaimed, San Martin being unanitionsly acclaimed Protector. This office he held yntil the establishment of the Peruvl- QL7> an congress in September, 1822, whereupon he signed all authority into the hands of the people and withdrew to private life. After a short period of government by a committee of three, the congress on the 28th of February, 1823, elected Don Jose de la Rlva Aguero first president of Peru. He displayed great energy In facing the difficulties of a turbulent situation, but was unsuccess>» flul. The aid of the Colombians under Simon Bofc rvnr was sought and Riva Aguero was deposed. • Bolivar arrived at Lima on fhe 1st of September* 1823, where he began to organize an army to a8» tack the Spanish viceroy, who was still In the interior. On the 6th of August, 1824, the cavalry action of Junln was fought with the Spanish forces under the command of General Canterac, near the shores of Lake Chlncay-coclia. It was won by a gallant charge of the Peruvians at the critical moment under Captain Suarez. Soon afterwards Bolivar left the army to proceed to the coast, the final battle of Ayacucho (Dec. 9, 1824) being •cfought by his second in command. General Sucre, In which the viceroy ahd all his officers were taken prisoners, and Spanish power in Peru came to an end/ There Is no more romantic career than that of Lord Cochrane, tenth earl of Dundonald, whose statues occupy plates of honor In many ot the great cities of South America because of his services In securing the national Independence of several states. It was his dying boast that he had held flag rank in no less than six navies. He was tlie son of a penniless Scotch peer and won honors and promotion In the British navy for daring exploits. Elected to parliament, he attacked the abuses prevalent In the British navy, thereby making enemies galore In high places. In 1814 his uncle, Cochrane Johnstone, M. P., was implicated in a conspiracy to swindle the London stock exchange by spreading premature announcement of the defeat of Napoleon. His enemies contrived to implicate Lord Cochrane in the affair, fie was convicted, expelled from the house of commons, dismissed from the nuvy, deprived of the Order of the Bath and imprisoned for a year. \ Immediately upon his release he was elected melnber of parliament for Westminster. Nevertheless, he was so disgusted with his treatment that he sought service In South America. Then he won such glory that William IV, upon coming to the throne, granted him full pardon for an offense which he probably never committed and restored him to the navy with the rank of vice admiral. Queen Victoria gave him the highest grade in tl^e Order of the Bath and put him in command of the British naval forces on the West Indian station. There he died In 1860. His admiring countrymen laid his body to rest In Westminster. A bust of Hipolito Unanue (1775-1833), >the gift of Peru to the Pan American Union in commemoration of this centenary was unveiled recently In Washington by the Peruvian ambassador, Senor Don FredeHco Alfonso de Pezet. In the presence of a distinguished company. The ambassador delivered an address eulogizing Unfcnue as the "Father of His Country." Unanue was born in Peru and was educated In theology. He took up medicine and achieved fame along scientific lines. In 1811 he founded the San Fernando school of medicine. He Joined San Martin and later worked with Bolivar. This Is the epitaph on his tomb in Lima: * "Here lie the ashes of Or. Hipolito Unanue, protophyslclan In chief, founder of the college of medicine under the former regime; in the new order Minister of Finance, President of the First Legislative Congress; Minister and President of the Council of Ministers. Well deserving of his country in the highest degree. Renowned for his learning, his works, and his eloquence. He died In his seventy-eighth year, on the 15th of July, 1833." Upon the discovery of the Western Hemisphere Spain and Portugal forthwith divided it between themselves. Once Spain owned from Chile to the Canadian boundary line.

Is with us for life, for the same reason. Who knows? It we are women, we must needs conform to the changes In fashion, whatever our inclination. And most of us incline to conform. We get that peculiar feminine thrill Out of a new frock which no other proceeding on earth can bring with It. Buying for Winter. Western buyers are putting In their first stocks for winter. They are cleaving to short fcklrta and to straight lines. But this Is always the way of thii period of the season. They follow closely ip the trail of present ffeshions, as any wild flights of fancy might lead them Into untold paths of loes and unappreclatlon. The duty, #nd, yes, the desire, of the New York public is to go on beyond, creating new types of fashion which, In their turn, will be followed Just as assiduously by others next season. The success of tne spring coat and the adaptability of the one-piece dress "have joined hands, the two making their autumn bow as a coat dress. Of course, we have had coat dresses before this, but the predictions are that they will be more brilliant achievements this coming season. News from Paris indicates that we are following the lead right here, for many of the wholesalers have reported that sales in this particular direction are going strong. A new slogan might be: "It Is the belt that makes the gown," for In many instances ail else Is plain, and the winding around the waist becomes the center of the design of the whole frock. All sorts of fancy ribbons and brocades are brought into play for this form of decoration. Then there are cords galore, and strings of beads and s&etals to be used for girdles. Any one of them is a thing of beauty all by itself, and Its association with the gown brings both into relief with a fascination one cannot fail to appreciate. Wool Shaws for Winter. , , The desire for Spanish shawls to not, It seems, just an Isolated flight, for we are to have shawls for the winter, too. They are to be of wool and embroidered, and, generally speaking, they are to retain much of the grace and charm possessed by the highly colored ones of this season. Women have found them too becoming to part with them lightly, and they are practical adjuncts to the wardrobe, to be sure, for they can be thrown across the shoulders carelessly, yet effectively,. If keeping out frigid blasts happens to be a subject Of any moment. The Spanish Influence, of which the Shawl is but one reflection. Is transferring itself to evening wraps in gay tarts. French ladles are taking the Spanish designs and the Oriental de- Signs. and combining them to make 'Some of the best-looking wraps that have been devised for many a lor^f |lay. Women are accustomed to regard their evening wraps as the most tttlorful of their adornments, and, by this new development of fashion, they will lose not a Jot In regard to smart and becoming embellishment. In the mountains, on the golf course, to fact, when Indulging In outdoor sport of any klml, one wonders why ladies do not wear "knickers." They took so/free and much more modest *than the short, tight skirts. Which ISeem to be the only alternative. Besides, it Is so hard to know what on earth to do with the skirts when actively participating In sports. They manage to get in one's way in the most miraculous manner, while "knickers" do nothing of the sort They keep their place and harmonize with strenuous activity as though they understood their business perfectly. Knickerbocker suits are made from the most delightful sorts of materials-- all those homespuns and hand-woven tweeds which are the Joy of the present season. They have about the sportiest look of any of the newer sport clothes, and one might venture to say they have come to stay. Prices are dropping to something approaching normal. Materials are far less costly than they were, and consequently ready-to-wear garments are coming down in sympathy necessities as well as luxuries. 1» backache Are you til played out," strength or vigor for year werttf find what it cMsiac the troabls comet it.

As yet they say that the ladies on the Paris streets are not Indulging In this fashion, but If the models are doing it, then we have reason to take notice that this may be accepted style for autumn. As one of the necessary attributes of lingerie just now is that It shall be nontransparent, the artists who are designing the newer models have taken radium silk Into the scheme bi' their calculations, and yflth some very attractive results. It is presented In the lighter pastel shades and, when made on the simple, prescribed lines and trimmed with some bits of handmade lace and ribbons to add to lta charm. It appears a real creation. Especially are the long chemises good In this material, as they are often called upon to do duty for petticoats as well. Handkerchief linen Is used, too, for the smarter pieces of underwear.

There were numbers upon numbers of long, hooped skirts, and the domino costumes were, so exquisitely fashioned th|it they offered all sorts of suggestions for the capes, especially as to the calash hoods, whleh have already been handled sparingly. Laces were made up In ever}- sort of guise, and an astonishing number of the hats were done In tricorn shape, The new idea Is to make many of the sleeves long and straight and wide, set into armholes that almost aw row! in reaching the waistline.

In nthor years velvet trod closely on the heels of straw, but this year, an interpolated number, felt, makes velvet waft back of the wings to take Its turn a little later. There are plenty of reasons. If you look for them, why felt should be having such popularity right now. Perhaps the chief reason is the colors In which this most beautiful of hat fhhrlcs comes.
