thatdt is mended and entirely in order for
the next time of wearing. Gloves should.
If possible, to some extent match the
costume with which they are worm and
while there are caprices from time to
time which suggest the wearing of white
or of black or of some distinctly pro-
nounced color in gloves, yet no one goes
amiss whose gloves do not make false
note IN the effect of her toilet
As in the case of shoes, it is a good
plan, if one can, to have several pairs in
use at a time, the rule applying to gloves
as well as to shoes, The fastidious wo-
man carefully keeps her best gloves by
themselves, dons her second best for a
shopping excursion or a daily walk, and
preserves those which are even more
worn for the market or the outdoor err
rand of the morning, or for the walk
taken simply for health, when she dresses
for comfort rather than for style.
Gloves for driving and wheeling are
thicker than those for ordinary use but
equally require care. A glove may be
spoiled as to shape for all time by need
less putting on when first worn. Children
who are always losing their gloves should
be taught to keep them in an appointed
place, and should be trained to have no
heedlessness in this matter. Much valua-
bic time is consumed when one never
knows where ones habiliments are.
Persons who suffer from rough, red or
chapped hands will find the greatest ad-
vantage from two simple precautions; one,
10 always thoroughly dry the hands after
washing; the other, never to venture out
of doors with hands ungloved. A pair of
loose gloves habitually worn at night will
often make red hands white and smooth
and will do away with the abrasions
which make ones hands uncomfortable
in cold weather.
1t has never, says the New York Times
been psychonologically or physiologically
explained why when people are particu-
larly enjoying themselves, they should
have a desire to eat. But the fact re-
mains One of the great trials of the
opera SO far has been that there seemed to
be no legitimate time for eating. 1t is
quite permissible for the matinee girl to
MUNICH bon-bous at the theater, but it
has never been quite the thing at the OPP
era Now these long performances have
made ii possible to take an enter -acte
luncheon and the avidity with which peo-
pie have taken advantage of this oppor-
tunity shows that it has been a long-felt
want The custom has not been in vogue
long enough to secure a. satisfactory list
of the edibles required to satisfy the crav-
ings of musical appetite. Just the kind
of food that will put the WAGNER devotee
in a proper frame of mind has not yet
been ascertained.

chat possibly sandwiches or even pref
zels and beer would be satisfactory com
bnations but to Judge by the crumbs left
on the floor by the matinee picnickers 1
think that they all find cake the most
sustaining and soothing.
"Ice-cold soda seems to be an inspiring
beverage, or possible 1t reduces an over
excited musical tempera ture. Anyway, it
Is taken by the picnickers, who go in for
a little more formality, and have tables
reserved for them in the cafe up stairs"
lG'America for the Americans has until
the present time borne a comparatively
limited meaning to the majority Of people
who quote the phrase" said recently
returned traveller a few days ago to a
New York Tribune representative. The
United States has been in the habit of
appropriating the name American, al
though there are parts of the world where
the United States is less well known than
many parts Of South America.
For instance, in Italy, Spain and Por-
tugal an American means a person from
South America Those countries have
greater interests In South than in North
America, and know 1t better.

went on, chow the United States has an
creased in popularity among the Powers
generally since the war with Spain. On
our last voyage We experienced the great
est possible change of manner to us as
citizens of the United States. Where for
merly jokes, and cynical speeches would
be constantly made at the expense of our
country and the Yankees, there is now the
greatest effort made to concliate u.s. We
are of immense Importance, and the ste
wards on the ships actually asked to be
fed in American money. For all that

western continent to remain blind to the
fact that the other republics of the west
