WHEN WEARING A WATCH.
Inside the Collar Is the Latest Place

That watches should be get-at-able-that

and tapes need not be undone nor pulled
asunder TO probe them from some remote
region-has long been the desderatum of
women. and now that the problem is solved
many will rejoice. The neck. some clever
one has thought. is quite as secure hiding

heavy trinket. This can be grabbed in an
instant, without fuss or bother, and the

then also be dropped back again without in
the least disarranging the toilet. Moreover.
the effect produced by a watch Worn in this
way is very decorative to the costume, the
chain holding 1t giving as 1t hangs over

MEANING OF "PIN MONEY"

Familiar Expression Originally Re.
ferred to the Actual Sum spent
BY "My Lady" for Pima.
"Pin money" now means the allowance OF
money for womans own personal expend-
lture, but originally It meant literally the ac-
tual sum spent on pins.
1t IL almost Impossible to think Of any
stage in the history Of womankind when the
pin was not one Of the mainstays Of her
existence, but until about the end of the
Seventeenth Century an article, more re-
sembling a wooden skewer than anything
else, was aIl that could be obtained.
After that time the modern pin was In
vented, but the maker was allowed to sell
them openly only on January and 2. so
that court ladies and fashionable danes
alike were obliged to buy large store on
those days, says the Gentlewoman. So ex-
tremely important was this yearly pur-

Blossom scented Is the breeze;
Golden is the grain.
Over all the faintest haze
Rests, and songbirds pipe their lays
In q Sweeter strain.
From the meadows comes the scent
OF the new hay, clover blent-
In the topaz eky
Fleecy clouds, like ships at sea.
Floating onward lazily,
Or at anchor lie.
Nature now is doubly dear
To my soul, for doubly near,
At July's behest,
She has come, and coming brings
Surcease from all weary things
Blissful sense Of rest!

TO make it an exceedingly comfortable little

photographers. This form Of amusement,

A London confectioner's establishment
which is run entirely by women has be-
come so great a success that its kitchen has
of necessity been partially converted into a
school, where women anxious to learn are
taught the confectioners art. At the neat
marble slabs women Of apparently good
education are busy with dainty confec-
tons. Some Of these pupils are ambitious
to become managers of similar establish
ments Of their own. The concern in ques-
ton is carried on in connection with res
taurant and tearoom. and since tearooms
are often managed by women, pupils from
such establishments are coming in increas-
ing numbers to this confectionery school.
One course in which only two pupils can
be taken at time includes the making Of
cakes, sweets. ices, bookkeeping and shop
management. All the latest inventions Of
the confectioner's art are mastered by these
women as readily as they appear, for they
find it necessary in this, as In every field OK

IS BEAUTY SLEEP NECESSARY,
Preponderance of Evidence Ia on tho
Side of the Old Theory, Which
FayOru n DAYTIME Nan.


Women nowadays count that day lost
whose low descending sun doesn't see the
advancement of some new theory that is
the very antithesis Of the thing they had
always believed to be true. In illustration. a
young physician rushed into print recently
to. say that the brain worker and the per-
son Of leisure do not need much sleep; that
five or six hours Is all sufficient for these
classes and that only a dolt sleeps nine or
ten hours.
Beauty sleep is pronounced all nonsense
by this authority, and too much repose de-
clared fruitful source of Ill health.
Who shall decide when doctors disagree?
This is the agonized thought of the woman
who has carefully coddled herself into TAX
ing the detested afternoon nap only to learn
at this late day that It's all In vain. and
that beauty and intellect are gained by
staying awake just as many hours out OF
the twentyfour as 1t Is possible to keep
tho eyes open.
The preponderance Of evidence is on the
side Of the old-fashioned theory, for all the
great beauties are said also to have been
great sleepers. and the bellies of to-day take
extraordinary care of themselves. There
fore, the daytime nap won't be abolished
for one more season at least. that's sure.

labors to protect the interests Of the

Chinese, but the japanese as we'll.
we will not confuse cur efforts In
these matters" said Mr. Livernash last
night. but we want to awaken the peo-
pie to the danger that threatens from
Japanese immigration. With the Japs 1t
will not be seclusion. but restriction. so
far as we can go without precipitating
diplomatic embroglio. Indeed, Japan
would rather keep all of her people in the
East as subsidiary means to the great
policy she has outlined-the policy of
turning japanese immigration on AsiatiC
lines and colonizing the Orient, notably
Formosa. with her citizens, until she has
become in the Eastern world what the
United States is in the Western"
Low Glass Comes Here.
Mr.. Livernash said the japanese COM
ing to this country were of the very low

them. and he compared them most unfa
vorably with the Chinese immigrants.

at home and abroad. The Japanese Ia
borer as we know him on the Pacific slope
is q mere beast OF burden to the people
whose purposes he serves. and we want

Wants No Change in Act.
Regarding the Geary act Mr.. Livernash
said his commission wanted it renewed
without change in any of its provisions.
1T has stood the test for ten years
he remarked, hard as the Six Companies
have tried to find some flaw in it. and we
do not want Congress 10 amend it for fear.
in being too generous to us. 1t might
leave some loophole for litigation. You
know the Chinaman is the wilicst creature
that walks. and We do not propose to at
ford him any opportunity to slip in
through some defective phraseology in the
act. De Quincy wrote about Chinese
trickery: When I gaZed at the face Of a
Chinese baby / felt as if l were looking
into centuries OF cunning.
