vioIets Gone out of Fashion.

For the first time in many years the
violet has lost it's place as a fashion
able flower in woman's spring head
gear. The rose has crowded the mod
est purple flower out.
The milliners say that it is due to a
whim of the young queen of Holland.
The rose is Queen Wilhelmina's fa7-
orite flower. She wears roses. pink,
and white and red. whenever she can.
and when her wedding trousseau
was made in Paris. the makers had to
put lots of roses in her finery.
That set the fashion in Paris. where
there are not beautiful royal brides
every year. and all the Partisan mil
liners took the rose into high favor
Paris sets the pace for the fashions
here, so New York women are wear
ing roses too and violets only hold
their own at the florists.
Next year, perhaps. when probably
there won't be so interesting a young
queen to have a wedding the little
punches of purple may reappear in
the hats. But it is an interesting
fact that the fancy of the young queen
of an unimportant European country
is setting the fashion in a great re-
public many thousand miles away

A Strange Houmanian Custom.

A strange custom, the blessing OF
the Danube, has prevailed in Rouma-
mia through generations. Formerly at
Christmas time scaffolding was
erected on the frozen river and on
this was large cross of ice but ow-
ing to the extraordinary number of
people who presented themselves the
ice frequently gave way and many
were drowned. The ceremony now
takes place on the bank of the Danube.
The people in recognition of the oc-
casion wear turbans of colored paper
and carry long white wands. These
people, who are dressed to represent
Pontius PLATE, Herod and other reli-
gious characters, go from place to
place singing hymns. At the appoint
ed hour of the ceremony the nobility
arrives in professional order accom-
panied by the priests. The services
last half an hour, at the close Of
which the ice is broken and a small
wooden cross Is thrown into the water,
Hundreds Of people rush in after it.,
and the person who is successful in
recovering it Is considered very lucky.
Sometimes the struggle to possess this
cross is attended with severe penalties,
owing to the dispute arising as to It's
ownership. In the scuffles which en-
sue it is said natives knives are some
times drawn and used without scruple.

In many instances flower hats have
foliage crowns.
Ready-made underwear has come to
be almost entirely run with pink or
blue ribbons. because these are the
most generally demanded.
A Frenchy scheme for the girl in
half mourning is to have narrow black
hens hemstitched onto the rufiles of
her dainty white petticoats.
In the new belt buckles a hook and
eye forms rather pretty clasp. The
hook and eye are each an inch long
and are set solidly with brilliants.
1t is mistake to head a petticoat
rufile with ruche, because no matter
how lovely it may be of itself. it
makes a clumsy line on the dress
skirt.
The flare in some of the tailor skirts
is produced by opening the seams on
either side of the front and at the
sides and inserting plating of the
material. In dressy thin gowns this
fulness is sometimes of lace.
A French fancy that comes as a
startling innovation is the use Of de-
signs of cretonne on cloth. Paquin is
responsible for the idea. Garlands Of
flowers cut out of the cretonne are
applied to the cloth, which is perforat.
ed to show the incrustations.
Single-faced velvet ribbon is prom
ised as one of the trimmings for fou-
lard gowns and it is to be stitched on
at the upper edge. Graduated bands
of piece velvet were stitched onto the
skirts of the winter models, so it is
only the same idea differently ex-
pressed.
The new crepe de chine sashes are
lovely in coloring, texture and gloss.
Some of thine have an embroidered
design in white around the edge and
all of them have silk fringe on the
ends. They are pretty to drape around
the shoulders, with knot and ends
at one side.
A very pretty gown has insertions
of Renaissance lace with a falling ruff.
fle around the edge of the yoke edged
with Cluny. This ruffle is carried
down on either side of the opening
at the front, which is closed with little
ribbon bows. There are insertions OF
the lace set in a graceful design at
the tops of the sleeves OF this gown.

Scene which Was Not on Program.

One incident | must dwell upon
writes Nine. Melba. because it was
the most beautiful that has happened
in my career. l was singing one
snowy evening at the academy of mu-
sic in Philadelphia. When l started
to cross the pavement to my carriage
after the performance. my arms were
full or roses that had been sent to
me during the opera. A white-haired
woman stepped forward and said:
God bless your beautiful heart.
have been waiting in the snow for you
to come out. Your voice is the most
beautiful in the world. Will you give
me rose to keep in memory of it?"
There she stood, white-haired, in the
driving snow. poorly clad in black
and with lines of grief and age scanned
on her face. waiting to tell me that
had made her happy. I gave her
every flower l had. l kissed her on
both cheeks and we cried there to-
gether-Philadelphia Saturday Even

Scarcity of Women Architects.

Mrs. Nichols of Brooklyn, the pion-
eer among American women archi-
tects, ascribes the limited number of
her sex who enter the profession Of
architecture to the dearth of schools
which admit women to the architec-
tural courses.
She says: "In no other profession
are women so handicapped. Yet be-
lieve that architecture provides fair
field for women-especially in the
work of building homes. think. too,
that all women should study architec-
ture. as they do music or any other
art. Such knowledge has a practical
bearing on household economy. which
a majority of women are called upon
to administer. and as a social force
will aid greatly to make of American
towns the City Beautiful of our
dreams" s."-Harper's Bazar.

Western Civilization.

What Il tragic story will be
the history of the past year in
China as it will be written by
the Chinese historians.
What a dark page upon his
tory OF civilization that story
will be.
There is an appalling signifi
canoe, as The st. Louis Repub
lie points out, in the recent re-
Violations Of the wholesale sui
eide of Chinese women outraged
by European soldier, these re-
Violations coming not in the
shape of mere hear say, but in
the official reports. As The Re-
public says:
It must be rendered that the
soldiers perpetrating these
deeds, in shame for being the
victims of which the women of
China are killing themselves by
thousands, are soldiers Of the
civilized powers OF earth. 1t
must also be remembered that
the deeds are done in the
twentieth century, not in those
early ages when rapjne and t be
violation of the women of a con-
quered race were the usual ac-
compartments Of war
When these thing, are re-
membered it is difficult for us to
believe that civilization is any
thing but a thin veneering of
artificial polish over an I'M
changing substance o. savagery
We shudder to read of the
bestiality of ancient times, but
is there any story OF The deeds
of those times more flied with
horror than the story of
Europe's twentieth century sins
in China?
The one bright spot to us in
this gloomy story is that which
absolves the American soldiers
from all, or almost all these
charges. The American and
the Japanese Officers seem to
have been the only ones who
made an honest effort to restrain
their meu. The less said about
the officers and men Of the so
called "civilized" armies of
Europe the better.
1t is to be hoped that the
Chinese historians will be able
to differentiate between the
natlonalties. The record made
is not, however, one calculated
to elivate western Civlliza ton
the Chinese estimatl ton. At
