Most Of the boleros. especially the

purpose, but the smallest sort of all has
just come forward as a useful accessory,

white SILK, and black velvet, embroidered
with gold dots, gilt cording, and gilt but
tons, were trimmings. These tab boleros
often are very richly stitched with GOLD
and have brilliant lining. Finished in this
way, they lend a formality that the fancy
waist with separate skirt does not always
suggest.
Use of the Separate skirt.
Two other illustrations OF permissible
use of the separate skirt are shown in
this picture. In the lower one, skirt and
bolero were of the same material, electric
blue cashmere. The bodice was ivory
white lace over white satin. Bands Of sill
yer braid appeared on the bolero but
were not echoed in the skirt, so the latter
was suitable for separate use. In the
gown shown at the right the skirt was
tea-colored cloth. and the bodice was old
rose albatrcss. with cream lace yoke, out
lined with bands of the tea-colored fabric.
Faint as this matching was. it is far pre-
ferable. according TO current standards.

GERMAn BLONDES.
They Form the Largest Per Cent. of
the Types of Germany's
Population.

The German Anthropologica society
has been engaged in recent years in col
Letting statistics relative to the COM
parative frequency of the blonde and
brunette types and their distribution
through the German empire.
The results are of interest as giving
evidence of the original sources of the
population in various sections. The OBJ
servations were confined to school chill
dren, 100000 of whom have been exam
med.
For purposes of classification only
those that had blue eyes and fair hair
and skin we're counted as blondes, and
those whose eyes, hair and skin were
all dark, as brunettes.
All others for example, children with
dark eyes and light hair or with blue
eyes and dark hair and skin) were put
in third or mixed" class.
In the empire as a whole the blondes
were found to number 31.s per cent,
the brunettes, IA per cent, and the
mixed types, $40 per cent In some dis
tricts the preponderance of the blonde
element was much more marked-espe-
cially in part of the Grand Duchy of
Oldenburg. where there were only four
per cent. of pure brunettes.
The effect of the brunette, Roman ele-
ment was distinctly marked in the
southern and southwestern parts of the
empire. Near Worms and Speyer, in
deed, one often sees faces which strong
ly suggest those of cent trail Italy or Ro-
man statues and paintings.
Yet streaks of blonde preponderance,
apparently marking the paths of Ger
manic migration, were traced up to the
Italian frontier.

ORGANISE AN AUTOCRAT.
No One Must Dare to Criticise That
FunctiOnary's Part of the
Church Service.

If there ever is any trouble in the
congregation about the music, and if
the minister ever worries himself, it
is admitted at once that the congre-
cation and the minister are alone to
blame, writes Ian Maclaren in Ladies'
Home Journal. But there are other
difficulties, and they may be men
toned in spirit of becoming humil-
ity. For one thing, the organist is an
artist, and every artist has nature
of special refinement which cannot
bear the rough-and-tumble ordinary
methods of life. With man of
common clay you deal in practical.
straightforward and even brutal
fashion. arguing with him, complain
ing to him, and putting him right
when he is wrong. But no man must
handle precious porcelain in such fash
ion. or the artist will be instantly
wounded and will resign and carry his
pathetic story to every quarter, for.
as a rule, the organist thinks that he
is lifted above criticism and public
opinion. 1t is impossible to teach
him anything; it is an insult to sup
pose that anything could be better
than the music he provides.

IDEA TOO ORIGINAL.
The Mayor Suggested That the Towns
Visitors Climb the New Stand
pipe for Entertainment.

In one of the towns of the upper
peninsula they were preparing to en-
terrain delegation of eastern capital
lists, many of them accompanied by,
wives and families, who were prospect
ing for investments in mining, railroad
and other enterprises. At the meeting
to make arrangements for the recep-
tion the new mayor presided. He had
ideas of his own, says the Detroit Jour-
nal, and evidently thought that his Off
cial position entitled him to settle any
disputed question. After several plans
had been suggested, he took the floor.
Gentlemen" said his honor, what
insist upon is something original and
something that these people will al
ways recall as having happened right
here. Our neighbors in the east
dropped them few thousand feet into
a copper mine; our rival city to the
north drove them six miles to see the
water works; at that struggling little
burg west of us they gave them chance
TO blister their faces over the red sand
stone quarries. We're no imitators.
What l propose is that we let them
climb, one at time, to the top of that
new sta lpipe of ours. They'll know
we're up to date on our fire department
and they'll get splendid view of the
surrounding country"
And it took the leading men of both
parties to get the mayors consent to
another programme.
