Near the house was a tall maple tree.

Inc or modified copies from the no.

and adds that woman seeks only to

After NJ. Lemaitre's article was pub
llshed a reporter was sem to interview
the leading courtiers. NJ. Doucet ac-
knowledged that there WAS much truth
In what NJ. Lemaltre had said, but de-
Tended himself ny declaring that Meth
er he o his confreres were responsible
for the fashions any more than were
the smart women for whom they are
made and who are looked upon az lead
ers. Fashions" he went on to say,
are a succession OF variations which
link themselves i%llogically, by the as
sistance OF n fatal caprice, thereby
gaining novelty by producing a change
today--of no matter what-from the
thing which was worn yesterday. For
instance, lace comes into fashion sim
ply because 1t has not been worn the
day before. Gigot sleeves grew ex-
ceedingly large simply that the chance
of change In their decrease would be
possible, and they will entirely disap-
pear because women have had enough
OF them. II is through the influence
OF all the smart women In the great
world that the distinguished Paris
makers are able to form new fashions.
II would be extremely difficult for them
to modify. except In a very small de-
gree, existing defects. and whatever ad-

A Georgia Princess.

When Vivekanandi, the Hindu

Worlds Fair. he a greatly delighted
n afternoon to learn that the Inter
national Beauty show" on the Midway
Plaisance contained an East Indian
princess. He lost no time. says the
Chicago Times-Herald, In visiting the
show. In one Of the booths was n
dusky damsel, arrayed In East Indian
costume. and prominently placarded
as a charmer from the land Of the
Gangees.
V~ivekanandi addressed her politely
In Hindustanee. and for his pains was
rewarded by a stare OF blank astonish-
ment. Then he tried Cingalese with
no better success, and also the several
allied dialects Of the Interior provinces
OF India. At last the dusky beauty
spoke In sheer self-defense:

second rate, or worse. IN that mysteri.
GUS quality called style" Why It Is
that professional dressmakers, who are
presumably women OF little education
and nc particular talent, can produce
satisfactory gowns with a pronounced
chic In cut and style that proclaims
them ut once to be custom made"
while the amateur, with greater taste
and cultivated artistic intelligence and
perception. should make such abortive
creations whenever she tries to make
her own dresses Is a problem that Ia
often commented upon. Home made"
gowns are certainly not as smart as
those built" by professionals, but why
not? Why can not women OF intelli-
gence who have straitened incomes,
dress themselves and their daughters
without calling In %extraneous aid? II
seems such a simple thing to do, es-
pecially In these days when the most
reliable patterns OF the latest fashions
may be had almost for the asking, and
materials cost next to nothing.
In the first place. the trade mark. as
II were, Is wanting In amateur work.
A dressmaker does everything by rule
and rote. but this want OF technical
knowledge could be easily rectined
either by taking the trouble to learn
the trade. which Is taught In compare.

tail the construction Of Il gown from u

Trials Of Authorship,

little girl in Chicago has recently
published a volume of verse, to be sold
for charity. She was only six years
Old when she undertook this literary
labor. or. as she says. II talked 1t, and
mamma wrote 1t down for me Just as
l talked It,"
In n story she tells how typhoid
fever broke out among the fairies.
When the fairy doctor came. he talked
to the fairy godmother about microbes
and germs, and told her to boil the
water"
Then she. who was of an inquirlng
mind, asked IL a hair was a sidewalk for
a microbe.
"Oh. no." said the doctor, they are
much smaller"
But II the germ had the fever" per-
sisted the %godmother, why didn't the
fever, which killed little boys and
girls, kill the germ? And II the germ
didn't have the fever, how could 1t give
the fever? How could a thing give a
thing 1t didn't have?"
This was too much for the fairy doc
tor, who could only answer, Nobody
knows but God"
Later the child breaks out into verse:
The flower that bends down to the
earth
Will soon go back to God:
But never again will II return
The same as II was plod.
In an apparently much needed foot
note the author explains that this
poem, which came into my head quick
and sudden, doesn't make sense. be-
cause the word 'plod,' which rhymes
so nicely with God, doesn't mean what
! want 1t to-"
In this embarrassment she seems
strikingly like real poets.
