Civilization, Ike morality, has the
defects Of its own CZcellenCes; IS dis
eases are peculiarly no&iOu5 and Igath
some, says Hacpcr's Weekly. The ra-
pacity OF greed gees hand in hand with
an unwh0lesOGle Th2risaism. Peace IS

when the nations oI the world have
presented 50 formidable an array Of
armies ard E2ytes. This. 50 far from
indicating any waTlike disposition on
their part. is really the result CT costly
and strenuous effcIcs to maintain
peace. The forced armis,ice is easily
broken. 1t is not necessary to even
the most destructive wars that there
should be the cid passion Of fanatic
herCism or any sublime purpose max
ing the sacrifice worthy. 1t is far more
likely that Germany may BE emDroted
in war with England for some petty
cause than that both will unite to
throttle the monster whose very exist

HISTORICAL COSTUMES,
The Designer for the Bradley Martin
Ball Talks of Hi, Art

Consuming is al art which requires
thorough historical knowledge Few
people realize this, but nevertheless to
costume correctly you must be a pro-
found student Of history"
This is what ". c. Stone, the New
York designer and costumer who was
in Topeka for the purpose of designing
the gowns for the festival queen and
| court, said when asked about costum-
Ing in general, says the Topeka State
Journal. Mr.. Stone was formerly on
the stage, but left the profession six
years ago to take up the work of d Co.'S
tuner.
The work Of a costumer is in a sense
suggested to him" continued Mr. Stone.
People come to him with crude IDEAS
and suggestions and he simply perfects
them and carries them out To do this
he must be acquainted with almost
every period since the world was made,
and it takes good, hard study and re-
search to be able to meet all require
Elents.
AS an instance Of what a costumer
-@-N'S~ iN4iCN iiic-S Dt C-ttt JlIt DIX bGaL-
ley Martin ball in New York city. The
costumes worn at the ball were Of all
periods and ages, and the c0stufncrs'
patrons simply told them what char
acter they wished to represent. 1t was
simply the work Of the cOstumers to
carry out the ideas and prepare cos
tunes which were historically correct.
PROBABLY every costumer in New York
city worked on some of the costumes
Tor the Bradley Martin ball. l designed
many.
FOR the past two years I have had
charge CT the costuming of the fiesta
at Los Angeles. Last year the fiesta
represented the Setting Sun and dis
plays were characteristic of the differ
ent lands OF the sun. The committee
IN charge Of the fiesta simply told ne
what countries they desired represent
ed, ana then | took up the work Of ar
ranging scenes characteristic of the
different lands and supplying costumes
exactly similar to the costumes of the
people Of the different countries.
his year the fiesta represented
The Garden Of Flowers and it was NV
work to provide scenes representing
the different flowers suggested. For
instance, in representing the mar
guerlte, provided scene from Faust,
and, after selecting the scene the cos
tuning simply followed in accordance
with the period. For the lady sliDper
a scene from Cinderella was taken. and
for the white rose a scene represent
ing the house CT York was arranged
IN the latter scene the costum:ng con-
sisted in supplying the court dresses Of
that period in English history.
AT your festival in Topeka the cos
tunes of the queen and court are TO
be Of Louis ". style. That is all I
need to know, and am now ready to
go ahead and design the costumes be-
cause | am familiar with the STYLES Of
that period. To be successful cos
tuner must be perfectly familiar with
the court styles of the times at least
since the twelfth century.
I'm consuming for the stage the ideas
are always suggested by the author of
the piece and the costumer simply sees
that the iieas are carried out correct
ly. On the whole, it is rather a fas-
chatting work"

Municipal Government.

How to best govern municipality,
how to keep taxes low, how to keep ex-
penditure within the revenue, and how
TO retrench, are questions agitating the
rulers of most American cities Just now
Having awakened to the knowledge
shat they have been dealing in futures
by being brought face to face with the
fact that those futures have not realized
II the extent which was expected; in
fine. having discovered that they have
been doing business on unbusinesshke
principles, that they are bufdened with
heavy debts, and that taxes are very
high, they are now trying to put things
TO rights and start out on new tack
TO this end they are casting about for
models to 90 by, and, apart from our
own system there are only the En- ish
system. and the Canadian system which
Is very similar, 10 guide them. The
English system of municipal govern
nent Is, without question, the most
Perfect. 1t has been evolved from
centuries Of experience, and is free
from al corrupting influences. The
officials who have charge of muaicipal
departments are appointed because of
their fitness ARE well paid and are held
responsible for their conduct and that
Of officials under them. Dishonesty is
seldom heard Of. and IS severely pun
iShed, and when a man falls SO great is
Sne disgrace attached to him ever

official dishonesty is rare, while honors
are showered upon the trustworthy.
The cause Of most of our municipal
ills has been the spols system and
