RAND Growth Of German Cities.

Germany according to a recent French
statistican, now holds the record for the
rapid increase Of cities. and we shall be
obliged to hide our diminished heads I'M
less we can do better in the next decade.
In 1860 the German capital was smaller
than Philadelphia; since that time it has
seen its population increase by more than
a million inhabitants, while that of Phil
adelphia has increased by scarcely half a
million.
In 1870 the respective populations of Ber-
lin and New York were 5000 and $4,000;
i'm 1890, according TO the national censuses
Berlin steps to the front will l,51S,79i.
New York taking second-place, with 1,5l5,
39l. To be sure. the results of the police
census show New York still ahead, but
perhaps comparisons would scarcely be
fair, for poor Berlin has had no police
census.
However ,his may be. a glance at cities
of secondary importance is still more
striking.
We see the population of Hamburg
growing from 263.5iO in 1875 to 569.26O In
1890. while Boston. which numbered 49,
001 inhabitants I'm 1915, had only $4,000 I'm
1890. SO Lepsic, the third city OF Ger

900 in 1875 TO 355 900 In 1880, distancing San
Farncisco, whose population was much
greater in 1873. During the same period
Munich and Breslau have passed Cincin-
natl.
1t will be observed that the cities cho-
sen for comparison are all in the East
with the exception of san Francisco.
different selection would have shown
different result. Still, as a comparison of
individual cities, the figures are interest
ing. The animus of the comparison is
revealed by the closing remark of the
Frenchman that the larger the cites of
a country. the weaker she is, her strength
lying rather with the rural population. II

Fashions That Pass in Review on the
Crowded Boardwalk.
Upon the promenade at a very fash
ionab1e summer seaside resort is daily
given a wonderful view of an ever
changing throng of superbly attired
women-a very kaleidoscope of color
and movement. Not a few Of the cos
tunes are undentably gaudy-silks that
the color-loving Orientals would delight
in, and a combination of shades and
patterns that cause the eyes to ache as
they rest upon them, making it re-
lief to turn to the quieter lines, which
are by no means lacking in that great
medley of color. Among many charm
ing toilets noted was one all black, and
the other black and white. The last
named was of white glace silk, SO mar
rowly striped with fine hairlines in
black that a silvery effect was produced.
The skirt was immensely wide at the
hem. The sleeves formed one very
large puff, terminating above the ell
bows. The vest front was made of &C
cordion-plaited white chiffon, overlaid
with broad black velvet ribbon. A vel
vet girdle confined the waist and full
plated rucAo OF cn1uOQ enclrc10u lie
throat. The very small toque was Of
black straw, trimmed with jetted lace
and white field daisies. A frilled white
silk parasol and long gloves of white
suede kid, stitched with black, COM
pleted an elegant and most becoming
toilet. The black costume was made Of
crepon of corrugated design. It was
extremely full in the back, falling in
heavy flutes that tapered toward the
waist. The bodice of black satin,
softly draped with chiffon, was bril-
liant with a mass of superb arabesque
trimming of finest French jet that COW
cred it's upper half. The sleeves of
satin, draped with the chiffon, formed
one immense puff to the elbows, above
which fell long Vandyke points of the
jet. The tiny head covering was mass
of jet, and the parasol of black chiffon
The whole formed costume that stood
out from among the more garish gowns
as distinctly elegant and ladylike.
