White makes a woman look big, in

the wide-eyed young thing in white,

the beaux. 1T added to thy charms,

is an echo from Paris that in gowns
of certain colors flesh seems to shrink,
in others to expand. A subdued shade
OF blue, heliotrope, and olive green,
with black, of course, are the colors
under which flesh seems least osten-
tatious, while wedgewood blue, pale
gray, and almost any shade of red are
to be avoided Mauve and the higher
shades Of green are the two colors that
in decoration about the throat and
shoulders are especially helpful in d.
minishing the effect of the flesh.

Their Tables Have the Best American
Markets Affords.
The food bought by the Chinese liv-
ing in America is often quite as ex-
pensive as that OF the whites. In
stead of living almost altogether on
rice and chop suey, as is the general
impression, Cinnamon, being quite as
fond of meat as Americans, buy pork,
beef and chickens. Chop suey is madc
to sell to curious white persons who
visit Chinatown. In the vicinity of
every large city where there is any
considerable Chinese colony, there are
truck gardens devoted to raising vege-
tables exclusively for Cinnamon from
seed brought from their native land
These vegetables are unknown to
Americans. But the Chinese also con-
sumo large quantities of the liner
kinds of American vegetables.

the finest and most expensive foods.
In the average Chinese restaurants in
those cities good board can be had by
the Chinese for from SIS to $40
month, and these restaurants are
largely patronized. AS a rule the
Cinnamon are compelled to lodge in
mean quarters; but in New York and
San Francisco there are number OF
well appointed homes occupied by the
families of well-to-do Chinese mer-
chants, which the American seldom or
never sees. In New York there is an
apartment house, up to date in every
respect, occupied by Chinese families.
The Chinaman sticks as closely as he
can to the traditions and customs OF
his country, which are strange to the
occidental, and, therefore, subject for
comment and often for derision.-

A Milwaukee divine tells this story
CT himself:
In a celebrated Eastern theological
seminary it is, or was, the practice of
the faculty to require the students to
take turns in delivering sermons, a
custom, by the way, to which, as q
rule, the young aspirants for eccle-
siastical honors did not take kindly
Among those who attended the
school was young man who now oc-
cupies the pulpit of a well-known
Methodist church on the East Side,
who. however, formed an exception to
the rule above mentioned.
In the course of time it came his
turn to speak. He prepared his dis
course with great care, and when Sun
day arrived he acquitted himself
handsomely, everyone present listen
irg to his words with marked atten-
ton.

of the professors mounted the rostru1n

American Women Always Busy.

One of the tersest explanations of
the vivacity and brightness of the
American woman has been given by
the Chinese Ambassador in the United
States. "They are always busy" says
he, and he could not possibly have
given the recipe for these two charac-
teristics of Transatlantic women in
fewer words. This is indeed the secret.
They never allow themselves to be
bored. Ennui is a word they will not

"GLORY" OF A TITLE

as Any Foreigner
1t is interesting to note how the title
that any member of an American fami-
ly may acquire sheds its ulster over the
whole family. They all bask in its
misunderstanding that title sheds
radiance and in spite of the fact that it
only too often does not. titles a
title for a. that, seems to be the para
phrase among some of Uncle Sans cit
liens, says the New York Sun. The
fact that Philadelphia girl who mar
ried the other day had beauty, money
and position seemed to be of small
moment Her parents, even, were
scarcely mentioned in the newspaper
reports Of the wedding. All other con-
siderations were eclipsed by the other
fact that her sister had married titled
foreigner, and not very big title at
that. In every published account the
bride was described not as daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. -" but as the sis
ter of the Countess -" The fact
that the marriage of this same coun-
tess sister turned out most unhappily,
and that, finding it impossible to live
with her husband, she was some years
ago obliged to get a legal separation,
counts for nothing. The titles the

TALK OF ENGINEER CORPS AGAIN
Admiral Dewey Said To Favor Its Re-
establishment in the Navy.

Washington, Dec. H.-In several quarters there
are evidences of effort to re-establsh the
engineer corps for the navy 1t is reported that such
q sten would meet with the approval of Secretary
Moody Considerable speculation is being indulged
in as TO how the corps would be organized in event
Of q decision 10 re-establish it Officers of the old
corps now holding higher positions, would hardly
be expected to go to the new corps at lower ranks
The appontment of graduates from several tech
nical Schools, such Cornell. Massachusetts In
stitlite of Technology and the University of Penn
syvania is suggested
These graduate engineers would naturally form
the nucleus of corps, succeeding later TO the
senior places.
It is quite evident that the reorganization would
be <e-established upon efficient lines by the time
the seventy-fye officers former engineers and now
of the line have reached the age of retirement.
This seems to be the most direct method by which
the engineer corps could be re-established.
II is one of the propositions which are said to be
under consideration by Mr. Moody Admiral Dewey
E also quoted as being favor of another engineer
corps and the general board has given its consid,
eration TO that subject. Rear Admiral Taylor chief
of the Bureau of Navigation is another adviser of
the Secretary who is said to favor the plan.
