What is a creole? A creole properly,
and in strict sense. is the child of any
foreign parents who is born on Ameri-
can soil. The accepteD- use of the term,
however, is one who is born OF French
parents in the FrancO-Latin states of
the south, especially Louisiana, Ala
bama and Florida In those states the
creole is the high-caste native, but
the term has been misused to desig-
nate the mixed mulattO races, descend
ed from French or Spanish fathers and
Indian or other native mothers; but
this use is incorrect in toto. The word
comes from the Spanish ''crillO," or the
word ''criada,'' signifying born here. ,"
In the gulf coast region the generic
term "Daygo" "a corruption of the
Spanish name, ''Diego'O, is used 10
cover all the mixed races except the
Creole proper. He is the very HiCalgo
Of the coast country; the F. F. V. of the
south, as it were. He is ever proud
of his blue-blOoded descent, and not in

family. He is proud, gracious, fond of

The favorite forms for fur garments
are either cape reaching the waist, or
a Russian coat. Both have storm eel
lars In capes the collar is usually
faced with the same fur. In the coats

are more often of a second fur-tailless

The Russian blouse, to be really
smart, should be of the skirt material.
This is for dresses. OF course there are
Russian blouses which are
really coats, and these do not match
the skirt. Many such coats are being
made entirely in fur for the winter,
principally in seal or astra1an.

There is a saying of Chamfort which
many serious minded people, under
the pressure of care and work, would
do well to lay to heart, the most
thoroughly wasted of all days is that
on which one has not laughed" 1t
has often been said that only they
who take life with profound serious
ness can be really humorous, for they
alone perceive those fundamental con-
trasts which make humor possible.
Mr.. Ford has laid the country under

lmprO sion that Washington never
laughed. Deeply serious as he was by

no man could appreciate and enjoy
fun of any good kind more thoroughly
than the great leader when with his
intimates. 1t is true Emerson hated
to laugh, but his radiant smile was
better than laughter. Carlyle, on the
contrary, was given to earth shaking
laughter kind of Berserker laugh

running through it, Lincoln's love OF
stories, both in the hearing and the
telling, was a safety valve for one
