The Antwerp Exposition.

The American propaganda has been ap-
pointed the authorized agent Of the Inter-
national exposition to be held in Antwerp
next year, and will also act as the com
mission for the United States to that ex-
position. 1t is not the intention of the
propaganda to appeal to congress for an
appropriation, as has been customary
hitherto in foreign expositions, but on the
contrary to place the burden of expense
upon the exhibitors who are to be the di.
rect benefciaries of the exposition. The
American propaganda is at present en-
gagged in the formation of an honorary
commission to represent the United States
at the Antwerp exposition. It is intended
to include in this commission President
L. w. Palmer, Charles Henrotin, the Bel
gian consul at Chicago, the ex-ministers of
the United States to Belgium, the Bel
GUM ministers at Washington, all the
Belgian consuls in the United States,
prominent manufacturers interested in
export trade from every state in the
Union, and all the chiefs of departments
OF the Chicago exposition. The entire ex-
pense of the commission will be borne by
the propaganda.

been fighting among themselves to u Sc
rious extent, especially the Arabs, but be-
fore white judges or inquirers they are
mum.
Their alleged fun has al awkward re-
semblance to that of boys. Their women
act very much like little girls who are
anxious to play but half afraid to. And
some of their sports are very rude pract;-
cal jokes, just as ours were some forty
years ago. In those days we had very lit
tie trouble about driving our hair when we
came out Of the water in Il larry, for
thoughtful mothers usually KEPT it short
enough to keep other boys from putting
cockleburrs in it. lwcll remember what
fun 1t was when Il new boy cam to school,
from some ne!ghboring center of refine
ment, G%reencastle or Charlottesville, for
lnstance-a boy withlong curls, adelicate-
Tipped and soft-skinned blonde of u boy.
How the fingers of our little reprobatcs
did itch to get into that hair, and how
they did rub it in" when they got there.
Now, l fancythat boys of eight or ten or
twelve are nothing but modified savages.
They quarrel and make up, roll over and
hug each other. fightone day and are good
friends the next. very much like those
wild people on the p%laisance. But there
is one serious difference. While the boys
are only temporary savages these wild
folks are permanently grown up boys with
the passions of men, and they hold malice
long time in W classes of cases. These
cases, OF course, are such as pertain to
women and religion-the two subjects on
which half civilized people can get up the
biggest amount OF 'mad' in the shortest
time. Boys also have a profound dread of

dark races haven't. Boys can be separate
ly examined and caught in a lie if they
have made up one. With these Arabs it
is more fun to beat the law than it was to
do the original devilment. The result is
that white men put in control of them
nearly always adopt arbitrary methods in
a little while. The Chinese, however, are
said to excel all other races in evading the
law and concealing what is done among
themselves. They have got it down to an
exact science.

Dahomeyan here is a mar and a brother

he acts so much like the boys of my time
did and as many of them, l fear, would
have continued to act if they had then
been turned loose, that I annot but SYM
pathize with him. The boy who is not in
actual pain and is not hungry forms no
plans for the future, and lives entirely in
the present. 1t is just the same with these
blacks. In short, the childhood of the
man is a good type of the childhood of the
world. Turn a lot of boys loose in the
woods for a day and they invent very
much as the savages did. They pass

1t is very pleasant, indeed, to get a good
seat near some rather startling or highly
colored picture and hearthe extreme opin-
Ions passed on it by different groups. The
party of four or five who come to the fair
together usually 20 through the buildings
together; in the Art palace one catalogue
does for all, and if there is one in the
party with some knowledge of art thew
often dispense with the book. I think
myself that one enjoys a picture more il
he studies it out before learning the name.
First comes a group and standing before
some painting in which there is, to my eye
at least. more color and art than beauty,
they exclaim, "Why, what a messy mixed
up thing it is! It's a shame to put such q
thing here. Come on, girls, it's horridv'
The next group stand in silence till the
catalogue is consulted and the title read.
then they gaze awhile and warmly ap-
prove. Much is said about 'tone'' and I
hear frequent references to the empress
sionist school," which refers, l suppose, to
the quality in a picture that commands
attention at first view even if the mass do
not find beauty in it.
One of this class gave me quite a new
and valuable idea the other day. The pco.
pie with him were evidently of nv sort
and declared with one voice that the color
In q sunset scene on water was ridiculous

most suitable stones, muscle shells and
the i k for implements. The strongest
and most daring boy assume the leader
ship. He is chief of the temporary tribe
and the little savages obey him. Yes, it
appears plain that science can arrive at
the course of social evolution most surely
and rapidly by studying the ways of our
own dear little savages.
l v at last found something real
naughty on the plaisance. It is at the
Persian theater which has resumed after
a temporary restraint. The warning
checked the performers for awhile, but
they have now turned loose worse than
ever. The large room vas we'll filled when
l saw the danse du ventre there and at
least fifty ladies were in the audience.
Ihe performance generally was fiat be-
yond my power to describe, but as each
successive dance grew q little more rank
the male lockers on shouted and laughed
and Jeered till the place was like Bedlam.
The ladies looked on it very much as they
would on the antics of a lot of lunatics
which in truth it too much resembled.
But l shall not describe the particular
Persian mode of that singular Oriental
dance. 1t certainly is "suggestivc." And
to complete the parallel above outlined,
1t is remarkably like certain ridiculous
performances have often seen among boys.
OF future events at the fair a very i'm
portant and interesting one will be the
fishermen's festival and displays on Sept.
10 and 20. 1t is announced that all the
fishing interests of the world will be rep
resented, and all the boats and imple.
ments used in fishing will appear in the
procession. There will be the skin kayak
of the Esquimaux, the Hawaiian canoe,
the dugout, the catamaran, the Malay
outrigger, the whaleboat, New England
dory and everything else in that line. AT
the congress papers will be read by ex
perts, and all the queer things discovered
and seen by fishermen will be exploited.

There is quite a fancy for dainty little

style was made of white china silk, with
black lace insertion put On in three zigzag
lines and finished ut the bottom with fall
of black lace. The bretelles were made
with three lapels and a pointed bib, and all
edges have an applique of the lace inser-
ton. Nearly all ladies now wear the little
lace nothings called tea caps. Lace iabots
made postiche are among the lovely ad-
juncts to a lady's wardrobe. Some of

When I was a boy in the wtlds of west
ern Indiana we used to say there were
three sorts of fellows no decent boy ought
to stick up for. One was the bow who
slipped up and hid our clothes or tied hard
knots in our breaches legs when we were
swimming in forbidden waters. It was
necessary to be lively in those days, and US
we wore nothing in the summer season
but hats, shirts and pantaloons, a boy
could dress in half q minute and in an
other half be in a thicket not penetrable
by a man. Another detested character
was the boy who would pick a fight and
u and complain if he got whipped. But
the arch criminal was the boy who owned
up when he didn't have to. If he stood
out awhile and the teacher whaled him,
we could forgive his telling. Well, these
sayages have the same code. They have

the breadths up as the cloth comes, and
make the waist with the least amount of
work that can be put on it. No collar or

ornament of any kind; scarcely buttons
even; are put on it. With this dress, a pair

and is satisfied.
What do they look like, these sisters
defrauded Of all that goes to adorn female
loneliness? They are simply indescribable
in their gaunt and rigid ugliness, and one
longs to get them fix their hair into pretty
waves and dress them in n full suit Of
"dummery," us many call our women's
clothes. We would have to begin with cor
sets, for such aids to beauty and grace are
unknown, and, by the way, I have yet to
discover that these corsetless women are
any stronger or healthier than those who
have worn them always.
All these reflections are the outcome of
WEAKNESS over the sights of acres of dress
goods, miles of ribbons and laces, and
houses full of hats, and the wish born of
that tired feeling that we could 20 back to
primitive fashions.
We W much, very much, this season to
sleeves. They add style and distinction to
agown, and Il plain dress that has narrow
sleeves looks like another thing when new
sleeves are put in their place. Putfs,
double, triple and single, are very pretty,
more so by far than the gigot, but there are
dresses where the leg O. mutton is the only
one that would be suitable. For instance,
heavygoods always look bettcrin the gigot,
and light ones in the puff, with the forearm
portion plain or trimmed, as one prefers.
Caps are added to many sleeves, but are
not very pretty except when made of lace.
"A new idea is to have the cap made of mar
row lace ruffies. sometimes as many as six,
overlapping each other. These may or
may not extend clear around the sleeve.
The most of them do not. The triple pulled
sleeve is very pretty for silk and light
woolens. 1t is cut in one piece and gather
ed in three places equally distant and sewn
to a lining, the bottom parts first. and SO
