on. His buying began when the Novem-

American friend Look around here" he
said, land you will find that the French
are not always thinking exclusively CT
amusing themselves"
He was right. The exhibit displayed
line of charity that originated in France
and has been initiated generally through
out the world, but nowhere else has at
tanned the perfection that characterizes its
development in France.
The 'Creche" was founded in 1916, its
originator being Firmin Marbeau, an emf
nent French publicist and philanthropist
who, as the result of long years of study
of social problems, concluded that there
was urgent need in the community of i'm
proved facilities for the rearing of the
that the abandonment of infants by their
mothers, an evil that was shown by stats
ties 10 be alarmingly general throughout
the country, was the direct consequence of
the fact that the working classes were US
ually unable TO give the required attention
TO their offspring. The crime Of infanti-
eide was also believed TO be largely trace
able to the absence of public provision for
the care of the children of the poor. What
was needed. he felt, was an institution TO
eupplant In a way, the oVercrowded
founding asyums; one that would relieve
the poor mother from the necessity Of
surrendering the custody and rearing OF
her child TO strangers.
When NJ. Marbeau organized such an
institution he styled IT "creche," in rev.
erent commemoration of the manger in
which the infant Jesus was placed after
his birth. The purpose of the new charity
was to provide a place where poor women
could leave their children with perfect Sc
cur1ty when their daily employment made
II impossible to give their infants the con-
slant care necessary.
How II Was Introduced.
The first Of these homes was opened In

ations of stronger, better and bettes ed
ucated citizens. Within a month or so
the place was too small to accommodate
all the children brought there every morn
ing; and many poor woman Of the quar-
ter who had previously refused employ
ment of any sort because she could not
leave her babies alone, confided her little
one 10 the "Creche" and went out regular
ly to her daily work.

came to realize the vast benefits accru-
ing to the community from the new insti-
tuition. Similar houses were established
all over Paris and throughout France. and
found ardent imitators In all the coun tries
of the world. In this year of grace, there
fore, the Creche must be regarded as one
of the most useful and important forms
of charity known in civilized lands.
The exhibit shown at the exposition un-
der the auspices of the ministry of the
interior, tells the whole history and gen.
eral lesson of the Creche in a most inter
estng fashion. If you want to learn
the entire system you are not obliged to
ask any one for information. All you
have to do is to look around. You will

4 Reminder of the Past.
These are some of the things, but not
all, illustrated by the Creche exhibit As
whole, it is extremely interesting from
the varied phases it shows OF universal
infancy, past and present. 1t gives the
visitor a peep at babyhood in the remot-
est corners of the civilized and barbaric
world II shows how the future man is
hampered or helped by the conditions that
surround the first months of existence in
different lands. 1t tells a pathetic story
/ OF infant deprivations among the very
/ poor of various countries, and then lets

I benefits conferred on humanity by the
/ Creche.

Satisfied of the advantages OF this great
charity, the visitor makes inquiries and
ascer aims the simple conditions COVE n
ing the benehciaries OF the Creche. The
rules are as follows:
No woman not obliged to work for her
living can put her child in the Creche

pleased to call him.
Women Are More Extravagant.
With women there is greater extrava-
gance in dress richer fabrics, a multitude
of accessories that make her attire costly
beyond all ordinary calculation. Her furs
may mean "the ransom of a king" and
her jewels the revenue of a kingdom.
Dress is 10 her pursuit. an accomplish
ment, a weapon of attraction, an argument
of envy and a spectacle of opulence run
riot. 1t is almost an emotion.
Many women are noted for particular
fancies in their dress: Mrs. Clarence
Makay affects big picture hats; Mrs. Will
lam Aston has he hnest laces Mrs. george
Goulds pink pearls and sables are re-
markable, while Mrs. John Drexel is noted
for her jewels, and especially her beauti-
full collection OF turquoise.
Some women who apparently care little
for dress will spend immense sums on
their underclothing, using gorgeous laces
and gold jewels for the trimmings and fas-
Jennings. The dainty woman has all her
underclothes hand made, and a set of
such lingerie costs not less than s35 10 $50,
a sum that may be much increased by

Her shoes are $15 pair and her corsete
about $40. In the latter, she will probably
use gold eyelets and fasteners, and the
cost Will be considerably more. Her pet
ticoat of silk will represent at least $50.
Her tailor-made gowns cost from $50 up;
her reception and evening dresses from
500 to $780, and lace may be additionally
used that will run into the thousands of
dollars. Her hats cost from $50 to SlC0
apiece; the picture ones are about the lat

When Mrs Howard Gould's dressmaker
sued her recently. it will be remembered
that a velvet waist was listed at $780,
muslin dress at 1925 and a few modest
waists and dresses made the disputed ac-
count over a thousand dollars. which the
dressmaker protested was not an excessive
bill.

George Gould has one that is the feature

How much may be spent on trihes in
jewelry may be estimated when a small
diamond sde-comb for the hair is worth
$1,000. For jewels, indeed, constitute the

Clever Women Are Utilizing Fras-

New York, July T.-To be surrounded
with pretty things is to many women al
most a necessity, and the very latest and
most ingenious effort in this direction is
the making up of broken bits OF china into
tops for card tables, or in jardinieres and
vases. This new art is open to all, for
the melancholy fact remains that in every
home more or less china and porcelain
come to an untmely end. When these
things are mended they are seldom thor

there is something of q salve for the grief
of the breakage; and with this purpose in
view they are speedily gathered up and

soon as enough pieces have been collected
to cover a square table top the work of
arranging them should begin. This does

test table TO select for the purpose is a
plain one, made of pine and enameled with
white paint. Its hight and shape of legs,
as being suitable for card table, should
be considered. 1t is first necessary that
a piece of molding, about half an inch in
width, should be set on all a bout the top
of the table, and its corners require TO
be well mitered. il is best TO have this
done by carpenter The table is then in
readiness to receive its china top. First fill
the entire space within the uolding with
putty, so that 1t rises to a hight about
equal with the moldng. The various bits
of china are then taken up separately and
pressed into the putty until the whole sur
