One must first have love for sub
iect if he would come to any true
knowledge of it. The proposition
sounds simple, and is old enough in
all conscience, yet one sees tremen-
dous waste of energy among women
simply because they refuse to take this
into consideration. The majority of
women's clubs seem to think that they
can obtain a knowledge of a subject
by merely laying out course of read
ing and assigning papers. "The In
fiuence of the French Drama on the
Drama of the Restoration" is given to
a lady who never heard of Congreve,
and who could not tell whether he lived
at the time of Shakespeare or before.

CHILDREN SOLD IN HUNGARY,
People without Children Go to the
Founding Hospital to Buy
the Waits.

The Hungarian authorities are taxi
ing decisive steps to put a stop to an
extraordinary system of selling chill
dren which prevails to large extent
in the central provinces.
Once a month childless persons ap-
pear in a large founding hospital in
Temesvar where they seek out the
children that suit them and depart
after paying sum of money for their
purchases.
On a recent occasion 30 children,
ranging from one to nine years, were
disposed of in this way without suffi-
cient guarantee being given that the
purchasers were respectable people
who would treat the children prop
erly. The most beautiful children
were those most sought after, especi-
ally fair-haired girls, as these in Hun
gary are rare.
In three cases circus people bought
six children to bring up as acrobats.
In one case a millionaire sought a
boy to bring up as his heir, as he had
disinherited his own son. The authori-
ties now insist on the most careful in-
vestigations into the status and mo-
tives of the purchasers.
The news has got abroad in Hun
gary that there is a ready market for
children in Temesvar, and the mothers
of illegitimate children are eager in
many cases to send their unhappy off,
spring to an institution where they
have such prospects.

Columbus, Sept. 23.-Attorney Gen
eral Sheets on Monday rendered an
opinion to Auditor of State Guilbert
advising him not to pay the approprl.
alton of $4,000 for the Cincinnati
school for the deaf, nor that of $4,000
for the Cleveland school for the deaf.
Sheets holds that the laws passed
last winter are unconstitutional both
on the ground of special Legislation
and on the ground that such use of
the state public money would be di-
verting the funds from the purpose
for which the taxes were collected.
Auditor Guilbert will follow the at.
torney generals advice.

HOW THE AUTUMN GIRL WILL DRESS

the blending of brown and red, deep
appropriate for fall wear. Some
green, it may be but line, is noticed
in almost all the fabrics.
These gowns are quite tailory, and
on many of them pipings of leather
are used. Yesterday we saw very
effective Norfolk suit of rough brown
and white trimmed with pipings Of
red leather. Not only is leather en-
ployed for the narrow pipings, but
also for belts, collars and cuffs. For
ourselves, we prefer limited use
of this material.
The skirts are made up without
Innings. Gored ones with the flare
below the knee are liked, but the
plated skirts are gaining in favor.
Those who do not find the hip yoke
unbecoming-and it is very unbecom-
ing to thin fgure-may use the
smoothly fitted yoke and lower plaits.
Basque jackets are being preferred
now to the shorter Etons; the belted
Norfolk and the blouse.
Buttons and pockets are much in
evidence, and add quite an air to the
outing, or street, suit, whichever you
please to call it.
The shirt waist suit in light weight
wool also forms part of the costume
of the autumn girl. These suits are
very trim and serviceable, and occupy
FOR the winter the place the cotton
ones did in the summer. For these
costumes, cravat, belt and collar must
be of the latest mode, and then very
desirable effect is obtained at com
paratiyely small cost. Small check:
and ;nconspicuous plaids are Liked
for the wool shirt waist suit.

White Hats To Reign Supreme This Fall

here, a dip there, marked feature Of
all.
Velvet is the most fashionable, as
well as the most expensive, material
used fer these hats. A handsome
black ostrich plume draped artistical-
ly about the sweeping brim of big
white velvet hat certainly is a crea-
tion that would tempt every daugh-
ter of Eve that beheld it. An emer-
aid plume on snowy hat is very chic,
as green is still with us, and it is
prophesied it's vogue will not dimin-
ish for some time to come.
BY the way, if you are the owner
of ostrich feathers, or of an ostrich
feather, you may bless your stars.
They are very much in it now, and
with the growing demand for them
prices are soaring at n great rate.
Ostrich feathers of every imaginable
hue are being used by the milliner,
purple, golden-brown, dark brown,
pink, blue, as well as the emerald.
The dyeing of ostrich feathers is q
difficult business, and requires the
work of a specialist; and nowadays
he must try all sorts of tricks with
the plumes. Some are seen the quill
white and the feathers black; some
with one side of the plume all white
tn. other all black; or shading may
be employed, ranging from golden tc
! dark brown, with here dash OF
black, there a splash of white. Al
sorts of liberties are taken this year
with -he ostrich's plumage.

Ia @WN street gown this year is
v VHI put on to the house gown.
lM A 'Hl 1t sweeps and swishes in
lM "a @l very frivolous manner in

And Tie frivolity is carried out in
flounces and fringes. Not since 1880
have NC had such lot of fiounces; in
fact, there is n decided tendency to a
return TO the fashions of that day.
The all-black gown is considered
elegant and modish, but one should
be very sure of its becomingness.
The plump woman need have no
doubts about it, nor the very fair;
but to the neutral-toned it is trying
costume. A thin black gown is an
excellent adjunct to ones wardrobe,
and an economical one. With un-
lined yoke and sleeves, it is suitable
for any sort of evening wear; put in
lining, and, 10, there is a gown that
will do for church or afternoon visit
ing.
Evening gowns of soft, thin wool
are liked very much just at present,
are preferred to the rustling silks
that nave had such a long day. Made
simply with accordion plated skirt
and blouse they are not at all elab-
crate affairs, although with deep
collar of lace such costume looks
decidedly dressy. For the soft wool

OHIO LEGISLATURE.
Proceedings OF Both Its Branches
The Code Bill IL Discussed - Other
Ohio News.

Columbus, Sept. 19.-The legislature
adjourned yesterday until next Tues
day to attend the fall festival at Gin
cinnati. The members and families
will be the guests of the Fall Festi-
val association. The house commit
tee has adopted plan for public inn
provements by providing that materi-
ais be purchased through competi-
tive bidding, while the city will em-
ploy the labor Assessments for pub
lie improvement will be made upon
market value of benefited property,
value to be fixed by committee ap-
pointed by the mayor. Interest on
bonds is fixed at per cent. as maxi
mum, while premium from sale of
bonds is to be applied to the sink
ing fund.
Columbus, Sept. 24.-The house
code committee on Tuesday received
the report from the subcommittee
providing that in cities of $4,000 or
less councilmen sahll receive $3.50 n
year, and for each additional 10000
| 500 additional. This would give Gin
cinnati councilmen S1,150, and Cleve-
land councilmen S1,250. The report
was adopted.
The committee took up the subject
| of civil service on Guerin's report to
place fire, police and health under it
and leave the rest optional. Williams,
of Hamilton, vigorously opposed put
ting the health department under the
merit system, saying that district
physicians would hold for life. He
moved that the health department oe
taken out. Williams motion pre-
vailed.
At the request of the state build
ers' exchange the senate adopted an
amendment giving cities authority to
regulate signs, bill boards and stair
ways.
Mr.. Hosea called u7 his curative
act, designed to renew the 50-year
franchise in Cincinnati. The object,
he said. was to carry out an agree
ment into which Cincinnati had en-
tered in good faith and to protect
business interests that had been
placed in jeopardy by the destruction
of the Rogers law.
After long debate the senate
adopted an amendment introduced by
Mr.. Overturf. 1t takes away from
the mayor of municipalities the pow
er to remove elective officers and
places it in the hands of the probate
judge, who shall, upon the complaint
of four electors, order n hearing. Hi.
action shall be based upon the out
come of this. The solicitor shall act
as the prosecuting attorney.

Columbus, Sept. 23.-Representa-

here during recess instead of going
to Cincinnati, applied themselves to a
study of the franchise section of the
Nash code. The result of their work
was submitted at meeting of the
subcommittee of the house on fran
chises Monday. At this it was decid-
ed to recommend that there be no
change made in existing laws except
an elimination of number of un-
constitutional features which were
found and the possible addition of
the amendment extending present
franchises, granted under unconsti-
tutional laws, to the time of their
original grant and the Guerin amend
ment compelling arbitration in street
car strikes.
