SPLENDORS OF THE UNIVERSE TO BE SHOWN AT SAN FRANCISCO IN 1915 ASCENE of splendor and glory unrivaled in the history of world's expositions is assured the visitor to the great Panama-Pacific International Exposition at San Francisco in 1915. Thousands of workmen are now rushing to completion the vast exhibit palaces that face north on the shores of San Francisco harbor just inside the Golden Gate, and a conclave of nations unsurpassed by history is assured at this stupendous celebration at which the United States, joined by the nations of the world, will celebrate the opening of the Panama canal. Thirty-four great countries have accepted the invitation to take part in the Exposition. This is four times as many nations as had agreed to participate at any other exposition at a similar time before its opening. The fact that the Panama-Pacific International Exposition will be ready in every detail long before the opening day on Feb. 20, 1915, is only what the world expected of the men who have this International Exposition in charge. More than 60,000 of the world's leading exhibitors will have their exhibits installed in the vast exhibit halls when the Exposition opens to the world. This is an unparalleled record in the history of universal expositions. Photo copyright, 1914, by Panama-Pacific International Exposition Co. H. S. Crocker Co., official photographers.

Photograph courtesy San Francisco Chronicle IN UNION HERE EXISTENT SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS HINDERS FRIENDLY CONTACT Director of National League on Urban Conditions Among Afro-Americans Enlightens Sociological Congress on Racial Aspirations—Influence of City Life Upon Country People. Memphis, Tenn.—One of the most forceful and logical addresses delivered before the southern sociological congress, which held its annual meeting here recently, was that of Dr. George Edmund Haynes. The subject of his address was "Some Conditions Among Negroes In Cities." Dr. Haynes is the director of the National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes and professor of social science at Fisk university. Dr. Haynes' address was in part as follows, "Among the outstanding features of national life today is the migration to and concentration of Negroes in cit- DR. GEORGE E. HAYNER. les north and south. Following hard upon the settlement in the cities there is a segregation which cuts off points of friendly contact between white and colored people, especially the better elements, and shuts out the colored people from many of the most desirable forces of the common life. As a result the industrial, housing, health, educational and other problems of city life are'more crucial than those among the white people. The Negro's heroic struggles to overcome his misadjustment have greater odds against their success. "In discussing this matter the time is past for the passionate avowal of opinions based merely upon feelings. The facts must be carefully studied and conclusion logically drawn. Our attention to the needs of the rural Negro should include the influence that town and city are exerting. In the first place, the town and city are trading centers for the rural colored people, especially in the south. On Saturdays most farmers go to town. "Following hard upon the concentration of Negroes in cities is the segregation into districts and sections. In order to secure better surroundings than those usually to be bad in the sections where they have been accustomed to live, Negroes of intelligence and of high standards of living have sought either to improve their community or to move out of the ghetto. Like other people, they try to shuffle off the coil of their previous condition. But here a perplexing situation confronts us. The modern sanitary and other protective facilities for the Negro neighborhood are not provided. "It has happened more than once that the lives of respectable colored men have been in jeopardy because they took evidence to the city authorities in futile attempts to protect themselves and families from bad influences. Is it any wonder, then, that many Negroes seek to buy or build houses in other neighborhoods? The desire for and the effort to secure the conveniences and to get protection has resulted in the segregation conflict. Since the desired benefits will not come to the Negro, he undertakes to go to the benefits. "A more serious outcome of segregation is the handicap of Negroes in their efforts to earn a living. Four facts about the industrial life of the Negroes need to be borne in mind. First, the masses that move to the city are unprepared to meet the exacting requirements of modern industry and to face the keen competition of more efficient laborers; second, educational facilities to train the aspiring, struggling searchers for better conditions are not provided in any Negro neighborhood of any city, north or south. The first experiment is a vocational school to be opened in Cincinnati this spring; third, that mixed in with the ignorant and the inefficient are the lazy and the vicious. The hope of reward has been so often deferred that their hearts no longer respond. The 'won't works' come to the city with the 'can't works'. Along with these three facts does not the fourth arise? Are not the white employers of this Negro labor complaining and blaming the Negro instead of understanding the situation and providing him with ample opportunity to overcome his deficiencies?"

M.

There must be just enforcement of the law ‘in municipal and rural districts. ‘To ‘my mind, considering conditions under ‘which the rural southern Afro-Amert can population dwells—its ignorance and its heritages — 1 belleve it ‘the most law-abiding peasantry in the ‘world.

The Afro-Ameri- can, Mr. Villard said, has practically “no voice in the southern states in the lection of the president of the na tion, state governors or state legis lators.

Editor Gazette, My dear sir:—-I am herewith sending you a copy of the post mortem findings in the case ot Rey. W. G. Webster, who recently died at Charity hospital, 1 trust that this report, which was made by physi cians who were entirely disinterested will more than satisfy those who, in their ignorance, took such excelient pains to circulate the rumor that 1 was responsible for the death of Rev. Webster. I was not even present at the autopsy. Nevertheless, I in structed those in charge to proceed with the operation; that I was willing to ubide by thelr verdict., This is what they found, IT SPEAKS FOR ITSELF: Cleveland, O., April. 29th, 1914. The autopsy on Rev. W. G. Webster shows a stenosis of the Ilium with inflammatory condition of the small and large intestine, which was_prob- ably due to an obstruction in the bowel caused by the stenosis. D. J. Bryant, M. D. In spite of what has been said, 1 am charitable enough to believe that a well-meaning public has been mis-in. formed and that such a rumor would never have been circulated had they known the facts in the case. ‘Very sincerely, E.

The pastor of Antioch Baptist church preached an able sermon, Sunday morning, on "The Mortal Man Consumes Himself". Mortal views crush' out the spirit; action speaks louder than words. This causes us to think of the coarseness on Central Ave. What is the Reform League DOING to better conditions up that way? The editor of The Gazette entered the list of candidates for State Representative, last week, at the request of leading local members of the race and of the leading Republicans (white), and not because of simply personal desire. They feel that his nomination will strengthen the ticket to be nominated. August 15, and that his campaigning will also be of material assistance to it. Our three local K. P. lodges—Edwin Cowles, Western Reserve and Climax—and two uniform companies, headed by two sections of the Philliegan's Band, marched to Cory M.

Stevens, former resident of this city for many years, now located in Des Moines, Iowa, writes THE GAZETTE that he is still buying and selling real estate, and that he also takes care of a bank, a church and two flats. Mr. Stevens says: "I have all the work I want, out here, and wish that I had come west 20 years ago. Don't forget to send THE GAZETTE to me at the tuggage Ave. as I am going to sell the place at 1547 W. 16th St, where it has been coming to and I have been living. My son and his wife, Mrs. Adeline Sabb-Stevens, Mr. Cassius Sabb, her father, and my family are all here to you." "Abe" always was a "lustler" and knows how to get and save money. Good luck to you, long-time friend. Mr. Luther Nickens' father, who was so badly injured by an automobile backing into him on E. 30th St., some months ago, and who sued the owner of the machine for damages, as a result of the accident, lost his case in Judge Willis Vickery's court, Monday, the latter never permitting the case to go to the jury, but deciding it him. He was sentenced to McLuachon at the conclusion of the Villard meeting at St. John's church, Monday evening, reproached the Judge for taking the case from the jury. There were, too, those in the audience that evening who were anxious to have Wm. R. Green, Esq., explain his uncomfortable experience with the judge in his court room, some months ago, and who was also tasked for expressing, from the bench, sentiments against inter-marriage which indicated the possession of racial and color prejudice. EAST END NOTES. Mr. Geo. Feilds and Mrs. Jerry Warrick are convalescing. Mr. Huston Hammond of the Euclid Apartments, is sick.

Asking to the "Social Year Book," for 1913, there are 2298 Afro-American voters in Cleveland. Fifty cents twice a year would mean $3.298 to The Gazette, and would be the foundation for a twice as large paper. Why won't we do it? A dead man can float down the stream, but it takes a live one to swim against the tide, and that is what The Gazette has been doing for nearly 32 years. Are we dead or not?

Mr. James Naylor, 2419 E. 82d St., a special delivery mail-carrier, was attacked in Superior Ave. near the Colonial theater, last week Friday and severely beaten and cut. Naylor was riding his bicycle west in Superior Ave. when five men, standing in front of the Colonial, beckoned him. He rode to the curb and dismounted. The men then set upon and beat him. A dozen pedestrians went to Mr. Naylor's assistance and when Detective Morwick appeared, the five fled. One was captured after a chase of several blocks and is being held at police headquarters.

Pleasant Home" As Segregation, As Undemocratic, Un-Christian, An Entering Wedge of Jim-Crowism, As Retrogression and a Wide Step Backward. Mr. President and Brethren of the Colored Ministers' Alliance: We, our committee, appointed Jan. 20th, 1914, to investigate the alleged organization of a Home EXCLUSIVELY for COLORED children, beg leave to submit the following report: 1. We find that the Home on E. 126th St. is a private enterprise and has been mainly supported by one Chas. E. Stewart. Relative to the care of the children or condition of those express no opinion and have no communication since the institution is private, or, at the most, quasi public. 2. We find that a public home for Colored children, exclusively, has been projected, and a tentative organization has been actually formed, with officers elected, a membership fee decided upon, and membership blanks printed. 3. We also find that this proposed institution has the endorsement of Dr. E. A. Smith and Mr. Thaxter Eaton of the Cleveland Humane Society, and T. C. Wellsted, assistant secretary of the Cleveland Chamber of Commerce. We, our committee, do hereby enter our most earnest and vigorous protest against the establishment of such an institution, for the following reasons, to wit: 1st—There is absolutely no necessary for such an institution. The city has the power and mandate to have a sample and satisfactory provision for all of its dependent children, without regard to race, color, or previous conditions. 2nd—The multiplicity of such institutions simply increases the public burden and must, ultimately, lead to the increase of taxation, now already heavy. 3rd—The initiation of such an institution will inevitably lead to the displeasing undemocratic and unchristian policy of segregation and therefore, become the entering wedge of "jim-crowism," so detestable to all self-respecting Negroes, the world over. 4. Such a step is plainly and unmistakably retrogression, a wide step backward toward slavery and proscription, and a practical annihilation of the institution and contained at the cost of much sacrifice, privation and bloodshed. 5. We are an English speaking people, thoroughly American, loyal to every interest of our government, and firmly believe in that perfectly democratic principle so emancipated by Dr. Lyman Abbott, and our own Dr. Washington Gladden—"The Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of Man." Respectfully submitted, ELAM A. WHITE, H. C. BAILEY, CHAS. BUNDY, G. V. CLARK, The above report was unanimously adopted by the Ministers' Alliance, Tuesday, Jan. 27, 1914. HOMES FOR BOYS AND GIRLS. HOMES FOR BOYS AND GIRLS. As a result of Judge Adams' and Sheriff Smith's urging, the county commissioners are planning a large detention home for boys and girls, the boys' detention home on the west side and the one for the girls on this side of the city, being inadequate to meet the demand. An agreement with the Salvation Army Rescue Home and The House of Good Shepherd will accrue to the detention home at 2393 E. 43d St. are not sufficient to provide places for girls. Pending arrangements for a permanent and large detention home for both boys and girls, Judge Adams has asked the commissioners to rent the premises adjoining the present detention home for girls in E. 43d St. and a house on the West Side to supplement the present boys' detention home which occupies the two upper floors of the Detroit-West 29th St. police station. Supplementing the foregoing are, the home for boys at Hudson, and the Chevy Chase, the home for boys at Warren, and the home for Warrenville, under the city department of public welfare, and immediately under the supervision of Miss Vera Schafer, 10214 Humpden Ave. N. E. In the face of the foregoing, will some one find the shadow of a good excuse for the existence of that "jimcrow" M. Pleasant children's home? OPPOSED TO "JIM-CROW" HOME. At a recent metting of the City Federation of Women's clubs, the following resolutions were unanimously adopted and ordered printed in The Gazette: We, the City Federation of Women's clubs, do earnestly enter our protest against establishing the "Mt. Pleasant Home for Colored Children," there being no necessity for such a home, since our children are being better cared for in local institutions for all. We shall fight such an effort and use every influence to wipe out the objectives "homed" and and other, promoting discrimination and segregation. We, the women of the Federation, many of us belonging to the Auxiliary to the Juvenile Court and Human society, organized to assist in the work of placing and relieving dependent children, know the abundance of work done by our people to help the above named organizations, and, therefore, feel that such a step as organizing such a "home" is entirely unnecessary, non-progressive and an insult to our race, and do not encourage our protest against ourselves squarely bounded as opposing such a harmful movement, and as determined to use every influence to wipe it out. The statement being made, to the effect that the alleged "Children's Home" in Mt. Pleasant, has been promised $1,000 in event of its existing one year, only aggravates the situation and, if true, but shows the determination of a few prejudiced persons in this community to establish and maintain, if possible, this segregation attempt and consequent color-line.

H. H. Dunn, pastor of Central Congregational church; Rev. A. Lawless, Jr., pastor of University church, and President E. M. Stevens of Straight university have returned to Washington from the National Congregational convention held in Washington. A large delegation was present from all sections of the United States. Four national Congregational societies were represented in the convention, viz: The National Congregational Council, the Congregational Church Building society, the Sunday School and Publication society and the American Missionary association. The Southern negro is working out his own salvation, not in terms of politics, not in terms of formal education, but in terms of property ownership and mainly in terms of land in the rural regions. He is doing this with out let or hindrance in the South largely aside from the awareness of the whites, largely because of their in difference, but even more largely with the sympathy and help of his white friends and neighbors. He is lifting himself by tugging at his own boo straps, a figure commonly used to indicate an impossible something; but in utilization as in education it is the The American Missionary association is carrying on a most extensive work among the colored people. It is now conducting and maintaining 64 schools for the colored people in the South, with an enrollment of 14,000 under the direction of 600 trained teachers. The churches among the colored people of the South number 208, with a membership of 15,000. A most aggressive program for the further extension of church work, for better equipment of school buildings, and higher efficiency in school work was adopted. The new program calls for greater local initiative, a more discriminating missionary support, a larger number of self-supporting churches, increased activities in social service in urban and rural centers, closer supervision of the field and a Sunday school superintendent for the colored schools in the south. Rev. Sterling M. Brown of Washington was elected president of the convention. Rev. H. H. Proctor, D. D., of Atlanta, Ga., was elected secretary. The next convention will meet at Talladega college, Talladega, Ala. Although she is only thirty-one years old, Mrs. Winfield Stoner of Quarrysville, Pa., is the mother of nine children, and in a competition with 350 others she was proclaimed the champion cake baker. A final word on the subject of our personal responsibility as an executive council to the churches seems to be needed, says a correspondent of the Standard. It has been suggested that the executive council should ignore all organizations among the churches and deal directly with local churches. In many cases that may be the fair and proper way to operate, but I am firmly convinced that the experiences of the executive council in its work as well as the present needs of the negro churches only tend to emphasize the advisability of using our friendly offices to secure among the negro churches such an organization of forces as will win the respect and the regard of possible benefactors and make it possible for us to do through them as a group force, what we are confident that we could do less satisfactorily if we dealt with them separately and ignored that important and essential relationship which they have with one another.

The Southern negro is working out his own salvation, not in terms of politics, not in terms of formal education, but in terms of property ownership; and mainly in terms of land in the rural regions. He is doing this without let or hindrance in the South, largely aside from the awareness of the whites, largely because of their indifference, but even more largely with the sympathy and help of his white friends and neighbors. He is lifting himself by tugging at his own boot straps, a figure commonly used to indicate an impossible something; but in civilization, as in education, it is the only possible means of elevation. The negro is emerging from jungleism and winning civilization mainly and necessarily by his own efforts. His progress every inch of the way is marked by struggle—struggle within himself for mastery over himself and struggle outward, surrounding circumstances. The negro problem will not be solved by editorials, creeds or statutes; by conference, congresses or assemblies; by pride, prejudice or passion. The development of the negro can be stimulated, safeguarded and directed wisely and beneficently. The stream of tendencies can be kept clear of injustice and cruelty, brutality and inhumanity, and it will be so if we have any Christianity worth the name. Dr. E. C. Branson in the Southern Workman. A plea to the Methodist Episcopal church, South, asking it to take a deeper interest* in the affairs of the colored Methodist Episcopal church is contained in the quadrennial address of bishops which was made at a general conference of the colored church at St. Louis. When a woman is in love with a man she'll listen to what he says—just as if he were saying something. Well worth consideration is this extract from an editorial in the Chicago Record-Herald: "The problem is to educate these grown-up children into mental and moral maturity. That is no easy task. Rather it is an arduous effort to which many a life must be given, and it will never be helped along by oratory, but only by the patient teaching of line upon line, precept upon precept, till the fundamentals of honesty, thrift, thoroughness and keeping one's word have been drilled into their understanding and worked out by them in practise. To that end such a humble and patient propaganda as Booker Washington's, aiming to make the blacks into well-behaved citizens and good workers, honest and reliable, is worth all the oratory of Demosthenes and Clecero and Alexander J. Jackson combined." Strikes and lockouts in Rhode Island during 1813 caused a loss of $122,855 to wage-earners and about three hundred and fifty thousand dollars in value of production to employers, according to the report of the commissioner of industrial statistics. London is divided into two camps over the proposition to widen Richmond bridge, over the Thames. The bridge was opened for traffic in 1777.

MAY 23. 1914 BASEBALL Decatur of the Three-I league has sold Catcher Bradley McNeeley to Muscatine of the Central association. He will replace Catcher Hart, sold to Toledo. Muscatine has also secured Outfieldder Gerald Wetzel from Des Moines. --- Hughey Jennings says that Ty Cobb will bat third instead of fourth this season. Just as if it makes any difference to the opposing pitchers. They'd rather see Cobb bat tent. Honus Lobert of the Phillies has written a book about his experiences on the world's tour last winter. Lobert is one of the most versatile of players, either on or off the ball field. Morristown, of the Appalachian league, has signed Louis Hobbe, as manager. He will have to build practically a new team, all the men of any class having been sold. Newark being hard pressed for a first baseman it is reported it may make a deal with Toronto for Tim Jordon, since Tim wants to be near his home in the Big City. Dubuque's new municipally owned ball park has been named "Lottus Field," in honor of the once famous manager and later Three-lLeague president, Tom Lottus. Hughey Jennings started his professional baseball career 23 years ago. It was in May, 1891, that he joined Louisville a green youngster and made good right off the reel. Connie Mack says his team won last year because Bender and Plank were in good form all season and could help out the youngsters when they showed signs of weakening. Ty Cobb is one player who doesn't believe that number thirteen is a hoo-doo. He thinks that he can pole out triples in the thirteenth as well as in any other inning. Miller Huggins says he will keep Cozy Dolan at third base despite the fact that he has been bobbling up so many grounders in the games played by the Cards. Billy Sullivan is still attached to the roster of the White Sox. Frank Chance tried to get the veteran catcher for his New York team, but could not land him. The tenacity with which major league clubs are hanging to recruits is one of the effects of "war" times. Few promising youngsters are being turned loose. When this baseball war ends—that is, if it ever does—there will be many ball, players and many lawyers riding in automobiles paid for by baseball magnates. Toronto has taken on Pitcher Rufus Gilbert, who recently bought his release from the Denver club. Gilbert had a trial with the Chicago Cubs last year. Fred Clarke, the leader of the Pittsburgh Pirates, has developed into a conversationist on the coaching line. Last year he was considered a sphinx. Joe Tinker is already out with a claim for the pennant. Being developed during the Charles W. Murphy regime, he could hardly do otherwise. Those who accuse Tyrus Raymond Cobb of playing to the grand stand should remember that there is a grand stand to play to when he plays. Washington has insured Walter Johnson's arm for $100,000. Joe Tinker ought to take out a policy for that much on Rollo Zeider's feet. According to reports, all is harmony and bliss among organized baseball forces. Yes, just about as much harmony as there is in a menagerie. The Syracuse Club of the New York State League has signed on infielder named Looney. It will go hard with him when he makes a bobble. Willis Johnson, who has been a sport writer on the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, has been named business manager of the St. Louis Feds. Clyde Milan says he is going to have a great year at bat. If he'll be as speedy with the willow as he is on the paths—good night! Walter Pipp, Detroit first-sacker, has been dropped to Toronto. This youngster doesn't seem able to stick very long with the Tigers. The Harvard university baseball nine may take a trip to the Hawaiian islands after this season's contests. Jimmy Lavender of the Cubs thinks he was a bad pitcher last season be- cause John Evers was manager. Dayton of the Central league has sold Outfielder Hugh Shaw to Terre Haute of the same league. The veteran Woodie Thornton is playing the outfield for Columbus in the South Atlantic League. The new Highlander captain is Roger Peckinpaugh, farmer. He was elected unanimously. Friends of Burr say he will stick with the Yanks. Most burrs do. He is a pitcher. A "Steve" Evans, erstwhile St. Louis Cardinal, who jumped to the Federals for $4,500 a year, after the world's tour as a member of John McGraw's team, may be used as a utility outfitter for the Brooklyn "Feds." Arthur Holman, Claude Cooper and "Danny" Murphy are going so well that Bradley intends to stand on that combination. The "Brookleds'" manager says that Cooper's all around work has started the speed claimants in camp. He predicts that the youngster, who quit the Giants and whose likeness is shown herewith, will be one of the greatest outfielding stars within a season, "and not barring Cobb and Speaker," added Bradley. Catcher Ulatowski (Clemens), who got angry when Manager Rickey of the Brownies released him to Salt Lake and left to join the Federals, changed his mind and reported to the Salt Lake club. Bill Carrigan, manager of the Boston Red Sox, is trying to secure Del Gainor from Hughey Jennings for the job of guarding first base. "Slim" Sallee denies the rumor that he is going to jump to the Feds. He declares that he is satisfied with his St. Louis berth. The Cleveland Naps have signed Lloyd Bishop, a pitcher who has been doing wonders for the Kansas university team. Rumor has it that President Gilmore is sweet on Doyle, Merkle and Tosseau, and may persuade them to quit McGraw. It is said the Phillies turned down a $6,000 offer for Josh Devore. And Cincinnati sold him for the waiver price. SPORTING WORLD Joe Mandot has nothing but the highest praise for Mattie McCue whom he shaded at Racine. "After we finished boxing," says Joe, "he apologized for butting my eye with his head. That shows he is a clean boxer." During the year 1913 in France the Societe d'Encouragement distributed $937,175 in horse race stakes at Long champs and Chanilly, and $270,000 at provincial race meetings, making together a grand total of $1,207,175. Martha Sheridan, former all-round champion athlete, says: "There never was an athlete who couldn't be beaten, and they are running and jumping just as well today as they ever were." Berry, a Redlands high school student, broke the world's inter-scholastic record for the mile, finishing in 4:26 2:57, just ahead of Beeche of Anaheim, Cal., at Stanford university, recently. Boxing Instructor Green believes that Willie Ritchie is as good a boxer as Joe Gans. He declares that Ritchie is one of the greatest lightweights the boxing world has ever seen. The University of Washington eight won the interstate rowing champion ship of the Pacific coast by five lengths. Stanford finished second, four lengths ahead of California. Secretary James E. Sullivan of the Amateur Athletic union thinks the 1915 Panama-Pacific exposition games will attract 8,000 to 10,000 athletes of the world to San Francisco. Frank Loughrey of Philadelphia was given the decision over K. O. Sweeney of New York in a 15-round bout at Providence, R. I. Sir Thomas Lipton declares that the arrangements for the international yacht races suit him to a "T." Princeton has to be content with the gift of a $200,000 stadium, but what it really wanted was a Brickley. Georges Carpentier, the French heavyweight boxing champion, has been offered $40,050 by "Snowy" Baker, of Australia, for three bouts in Australia. Gunboat Smith threatens to make Georges A. Carpentier think he is the whole American navy, which indicates that Mr. Smith is some confident. Johnny Kilbane, featherweight champion, easily outfought Bobby Reynolds of Philadelphia in an eight-round contest at Windsor Canada. --- CAPE-MANTLE FOR SLENDER FIGURES ALL ARE OF RICH MATERIAL Illustration Shows Design in Cherry Red Amazon Cloth—Isadora Duncan's School for Dancing a PARIS—I have sketched this week one of the new cape-mantles which are beving such a success in Paris. These picturesque garments are made in various forms and in many different lengths, but the model I have drawn is one of the leading favorites, writes Idalia de Villiers in the Boston Globe. Here you have a mantle which is graceful, practical and eminently becoming to slender figures. The model shown in my sketch was created by Beer. It was made of cherry-red amazon cloth and the mantle was lined with shot taffeta which showed shades of red, blue and silver. This mantle had a gilet, or waistcoat, attached in front, and a narrow waist belt held this gilet in place. The muslin blouse opened over a vest finished with a high Medici collar and this blouse was cut down in a generous V and bordered with plaited frills. At the spring race meetings mantles of this kind are very generally worn. The Parisiennes "carry" them with infinite grace and they are certain to remain in fashion all through the summer and autumn seasons. Charming mantles of a similar design are being made of charmeuse in dark, rich colors; these cloaks are frequently lined with printed silks, which show scrolls and conventional flowers thrown against a pale ground. A thin make of velours de laine is also much used in this connection, and, for smart afternoon wraps, mirror velvet. In Strawberry-Red Cashmere. At the Ritz hotel I saw a lovely cape-mandie made of strawberry-red cashmere. The border was embroidered in black and white silks and the cloak was lined throughout with black satin. The costume underneath was in black tatetas, a draped skirt finished off with a semi-transparent corsege of black chiffon mounted over white tulle. The toque which accompanied this dress was one of the new torpedo shapes in coarse black straw, and it was trimmed with immensely high black and white wings. The whole "get up" was charmingly festive and original. At the same restaurant I saw Princess Gerard de Faucing-Lucinge wearing a most perfect tailored suit composed of leaf green Amazon cloth and black silk braid. The skirt was plaited at the sides and the coat was very long, reaching to the knees at the back and rounding away to nothing in front. There was a directoire waistcoat of black and white striped taffetas and a little flat-brimmed hat in black straw, trimmed with a mass of black and crimson cherries. At another table Mme. Paul Deschanel, the wife of the president of the French "Chambre des Deputes," was entertaining a party of friends. Mme. Deschanel is a very striking looking woman, tall and commanding, with a superb figure and an imperious manner. She understands the art of dress to perfection and never fails to make a sensation wherever she goes. When she and Mme. Polincare sit together in the box of a theater, Mme. Deschanel quite puts the president's wife in the shade. Mme. Polincare is pretty and charming, but her manner is rather retiring. Splendid Taffeta Gown. At the Ritz Mme. Deschanel was wearing a sensation gown composed of bleu-nuit taffetta. The skirt was flounced from waist to hem and the corsage opened over an elaborate blouse of ivory muslin. There was a high Medici collar to this blouse and a very long cape-mantle in bleu-nuit velvet was worn. The mantle was lined with dark crimson ribbed silk and it had a directore collar of skunk. Mme. Deschanel wore a tricorne in black silver beaver, and the only trimming in the hat was a flat rosette of dull silver braid. To leave the subject of dress for a moment I must record the fact that isadora Duncan's new school of dancing is making a great sensation in Paris. The home of this wonderful "school" is at Mendon, on the Seine, and it is surrounded by beautiful gardens and picturesque country. The Duncan ideas on the subject of dancing are so well known that it is not necessary for me to explain them, but it is interesting to realize that the young pupils are obliged to remain with Mme. Duncan until they reach the age of twenty-one. A case has just come under my notice in which a lovely little girl of six or seven years was admitted to the school and she is to remain away from her parents until she reaches the age of twenty-one. She may see them—or rather they can see her— Better Let Her Cry A woman is almost as peculiar as a man. She will break into tears, and the more she is urged to cheer up the more she will cry. But if some one tells her to go ahead and shed as many tears as she pleases, she will at once quit crying and speak her mind.—Atchison Globe. Shattered. He was a Hollander, just arrived in this country to seek his fortune, and he had much difficulty in regulating twice each week, but she must not leave the school. Assures Thorough Training. This seems rather a drastic idea, but one can understand it. The Duncan idea is that the body, and also the mind, must be slowly but very surely trained. Little by little the pupils arrive at a right way of moving as well as a right way of thinking. They become thoroughly strong and healthy, they learn how to walk and run and jump and dance. They learn how to appreciate the beauties of nature—especially the beauty and subtle charm of flowers. By the time they become professional dancers they are as well trained in all essentials as were the Greek women of olden days. It is a really fine idea and everyone wishes the scheme the success it deserves. It is a little way from Greek dances to Greek draperies. And the latter become more and more fashionable in Paris, where evening gowns are concerned. Some of the new evening corsages are plaited and draped in imitation of the famous Greek statues at the Louvre and immense trouble is taken to obtain the correct "ligne." Mold Garments to Form. Some of our Parisian dressmakers go so far as to damp the fragile muslins and then to mold them on the forms of courageous clients, but the average woman of fashion is satisfied with a eleverly arranged imitation of the genuine article. Silk velling and Indian muslins are the two favorite materials for such gowns as these and the plaitings are of the accordion order, only finer. At a reception given by Countess de Castelaje several remarkably effective Greek dresses were worn in conjunction with powdered peruques. One notable costume was composed of lemon-yellow silk veiling and there were little garlands of silver and roses outlining the bust and waist. The skirt and long tunic were both closely plaited and beautiful silver sandals were worn over flesh-colored A The New Gilet Manteau in Cherry-Red Amazon Cloth. silk stockings. The hair was powdered and drawn to the back of the head, where a bunch of curls was supported by a diamond comb. This sounds like a fancy dress, but it was worn at an ordinary reception. It is becoming very much the fashion to adopt a sort of semi-fancy dress for ordinary evening parties. The young Duchesse d'Uzes inaugurated the fashion by giving a series of "powdered hair" and "colored-hair" dinners last autumn. Now every one adopts powder and patches and colored wigs are becoming quite ordinary. Charming Millinery Models. Two new millinery models of considerable charm have attracted attention recently. A little Lewis model is quite original in design. It is shaped like a large saucer, and entirely covered with flat white silk popples. The narrow brim is composed of leaf green chip, and there is a high mount in black horsehair. This saucer hat, covered with flowers, ranks among the novelties of the season. They must be worn in a jaunty way, rather on the side of the head, otherwise they look rather ridiculous. Altogether admirable was a "Futurist" model in peacock blue straw. The shape is highly original, and the trimming consists of two large roses made of "Martine" printed silk. These "Martine" flowers have only just been introduced in Paris, but already they are eagerly sought after. Halo Ornaments Hair flowers and delicate aigrette-like pieces made of real hair in its natural colors, or dyed to 'match the wig, are the latest colour ornaments. The hair is lightly curled, attached to slender wire stems and fashioned into delicate flowers or leaves. They are beautifully light and soft, with a half curl to the tendrils. his pronunciation, and at times his words were almost unintelligible to his host's small boy, who sat in a corner of the room, somewhat mystified, at last the Hollander departed, and the small boy said to his father: "Daddy, is he a broken Englishman?" Three Pernicious Things Three things too much and three too little are pernicious to man—to speak much and know little, to spend much and have little, to presume much and be worth little—Cervantes. CAP and BELLS ARTIST WAS JUST CURIOUS Kindly Informed by Bewhiskered Farmer That Machine He Was Driving Was an automobile. Not long ago a New York artist, in search of quiet and rest, as well as beautiful scenery, sought out a remote and wild corner of the Northwest, where he rejoiced in the absence of all modern conveniences. One day, as he rode his horse over a corduroy road in a swampy forest, he was amazed to hear, the sound of an automobile horn! Suddenly a bend in the road brought him face to face with a small motor car, driven by a bewhiskered farmer. Seeing with what difficulty the rider was maintaining his seat as the horse reared, plunged and backed, and realizing that he could not get by the frightened animal on so narrow a highway, the farmer stopped his car, jumped out, caught the bridle and led the horse past it. After expressing his thanks, the artist, wishing to show an appreciative interest, inquired what machine it was. "It's an automobile, stranger," was the farmer's indulgent reply. Ennuted.
