Suit For "a Small Boy.

Su1t OF u SmoIi HSOys
Short knee trousers with jacket to
match and worn with blouse OF white
lawn make the accepted dress suit for
the small boys who have been pro-
noted from kits. The model shown
in the large illustration, writes May
Manton, is made of black velvet edged
with narrow silk braid, but velveteen
and black diagonal are equally correct.
The trousers are fitted snugly to the
legs by means of inside and outside
leg seams and are supplied with the
pockets without which no boy is ever
content. The jacket is scanned at the
center-back where it also extends to
slight point and is fitted by shouI-
der seams. The fronts, which
are extended to form lapels, are self
faced, and the entire jacket is lined
with farmers satin. The sleeves are
two-seamed and in regulation coat
style. The blouse includes shoulder
and under.arm seams only and closes
at the center-front by means Of but
tons sewed to the right side and but
tonholes worked in the box-plait that
finishes the left. The sleeves are one
scanned and are gathered both at the
arm's-eyes and at the wrists, where
they are finished with deep roll-over
cuffs edged with needlework frills.
At the neck is deep sailor collar,
also edged with frill, that turns over
the coat and extends well down on the
back.
To make this suit for boy of six
years will require three and half
yards of twenty-two-inch material. and
one and one-half yards of thirty-six-
inch material for the blouse.

severe, but always satisfactory lines.
The cut Of the gown shown in the
illustration is simple in the extreme,
but il may be made as elaborate in
effect as one please. As shown, says
May Manton, the material is violet
colored poplin, with an applied front
of velvet in darker shade and trim
ming Of handsome passementerie,
which includes both jet and silk. The
fronts are fitted by means Of double
bust and under-arm darts, the second
dart on each side extending to the
edge Of the skirt. The backs, which
fit smoothly to point slightly below
the waist line, are scanned at the centre
and are joined to the fronts by means
Of side-backs, which include the entire
length of the skirt. The fuIness Of
the skirt portion is laid in deep

Poor old China is slowly but surely

so superstitious, and they have been

left to fight. Japan beat them in the
war of few years ago and took a big
slice of their territory. Then Russia
came and seized on seaport. Eng

for many years, and only few weeks
ago the Germans landed and seized
another seaport. France is thinking
about getting possession of Formosa,
and Japan will no doubt wish to in

is the son of heaven, and the ruler of

The public has long been familiar
with laws which are called dead let
ters. They have been statutes which
were enacted long in the past, under
conditions that have ceased to exist,
and which gradually fell into "innoc-
uous desuetude," until at last few
people knew Of their existence.
Modern methods of legislation are de.
veloping new kind of dead letter.
A bill is introduced which goes
through all the stages to enactment as
though it were designed to be real
law, but it turns out afterwards that
the legislators never took it seriously,
and it was passed only to oblige some
body or comply with some request.
In his annual message to the Legisla-
ture, Governor Wolcott of Massachu-
setts suggests that sit may fairly be
considered whether Legislation pre-
scribing after some future date uni
form width of tire for the wheels of all
vehicles carrying heavy loads would
not tend to diminish the great cost OF
maintaining highways alike to the
commonwealth and to cities and
towns. The Hartford Times charac-
terizes this recommendation as per-
fectly reasonable, but says it will
make some people who know what
has happened in Connecticut smile.
What has happened Is this "a wide
tire law was passed in 1895, has been
steadily ignored. and SO far as we are
aware, there has never been prose
cation under it, or an attempt to have

The incidents in the trial of M.
