more than eight hundred pupils. OF this

pants Of Japan, girls and women Of all
ages, from the youngest pupils Of the high
school twelve years old) to students in
the university classes Of more than thirty
five years old. According 10 The Indian
Review, which describes the institution at
some length, some have been teachers
themselves for years, others are looking
forward to a long career of usefulness as
such and many hope to visit England and
study for a time at one of the universities
before returning to Japan to become lee
turers and literary workers in their turn.
The college is undenominational-all re-
ligions are tolerated none are taught-and
the staff comprises Christians, Shintoists
and Buddhists, while among the students
the same variety exists. The whole num-
Der Of lecturers is forty-one, including the
president, and of these the majority are
men and Japanese, one German woman,
one American and two English women be-
ing among them. There are three depart.

Christmas Presents

August is the month to begin on
your Christmas list and presents. With
a little attention it will be very easy to
make a good start on the first men,
toned; for when there are no gift days
close at hand, people are apt to freely
express a desire for some article. Then
too, during the long warm afternoons,
one can devote more thought to the
matter than in the rush Of the winter
months.
A practical hatpin holder is made by
covering a slender shapely bottle with
a silk handkerchief tied about the neck
with a bunch of baby ribbon. The kerr
chief may have a narrow lace sewed
to the edge, If it be Of delicate tint and
OF course the coloring must harmonize
with the color Of the other accessories
OF the dressing table.
A laundry bag is pretty Of dun green
denim, decorated with cyclamen cut
from cretonne and appliqued with but
tonhole stitch in wash silk, the inter-
twined stems being Of silk in double
outline stitch
A travellers convenience is a case for
holding the turnover collars and mar
rover stocks. Cover a piece af paste
board five inches wide and fifteen long
with cotton wadding and silk. adding
a pinch Of favorite satchet powder.
Make an inch hem all around piece
OF pretty dimity or silk that will be
eighteen by fifteen inches when fin
ished; attach it to the long edge Of the
covered pasteboard, sewing on a yard
Of No. Z ribbon to tie around the case
when the collars are laid on the padded
cushion. and protected from dust or
soil by the covering.

Wear Many Wells

The fashion among younger men and
women at the summer resorts, which has
ragged for the last few years and began at
Newport, Of discarding all headgear-and
which brought regiments OF tanned and
sunburnt youths and maidens to the cities
every autumn-has changed here, says a
writer from Newport. Young men and
maidens here now wear not only hats, but
the latter so swathe their heads and faces
in wells as to be almost unrecognizable.
The young women who gather every
morning on the Casino tennis courts wear
sometimes three and four wells, only re-
moving those covering the mouth while
playing. Just as soon as a game is fin
ished, they put on the lower wells again
and rarely remove them until they reach
their homes.
Tourists and visitors here of late have
been puzzled to account for the fashion,
in particular, Of yelling the mouth and
lower part of the face. Miss Gwendolyn
Burden recently at the Casino was
completely concealed as to her face by
two lower wells which met under hei
nose. The mouth veil is explained to the
close observer by the automobile craze.
It has been found useful and beneficial e

motoring" but 81 would hardly seem {,
be necessary while walking or tenni
playing.
A company Of fashionable Newpor
maidens AZ present resembles a proces
sion Of Egyptian vestals of the priestes
Isis. The new fashion has this TO com
mend it-that it conserves that delicac.
and softness Of complexion which IS on

An EneIishman's View

"Outside her home, I think the time
when Nine. America shines most Of all IS
when she dimes out, writes an English
woman in Black and White. She has a
bright. sparkling flow Of small talk which
is ike a draught of fresh spring water,
and she can talk for an hour about moth
ing, and yet be interesting. Then she
comes to a dinner with a good healthy
appetite which the rest Of the feminine
world can only stand aside and behold in
wondered admiration. A real American
girl can eat steadily through three pounds
of candies, drink piuts of iced water and
finish up with a nine course dinner and
emerge apparently perfectly well and
happy. Good style Is as marked in the
American shop girl OF waitress as i'm the
high born Colonial dame; they all have
IT, 1t Is not the clothes themselves, but
1t is the way they are worn-coupled with

The chances of luck are all i'm her favor;

Is as surprising as t is amusing. That

ID the IndustrIous.

Benjamin Franklin once said, save |
a little every day" How few out of |
the millions Of people IN this country |
have ever taken this advice until they
We're far past the prime OF life only to
realize when too late that little saw
ing in previous years would have made
them Independent in their old age. How
much more does that saying apply TO
the people Of today who receive larger
wages and have a broader field in
which to invest their savings. There
Is not a single family In this city who
should they make the effort, could not
lay aside something Tor a rainy day.
which is sooner or later bound to come,
either through old age, sickness, or
death. To the great majority the idea
Of saving ten or fifteen cents a day
seems ridiculous, yet this small amount
can be invested In such a manner that
It VIII mean hundreds Of dollars IN
few years. To those Of you who are
Ambitious and who have not as yet
started to put aside some portion OF
your daily wages, and 10 those who are
always on the lookout for q safe and
! profitable investment it is hoped that
these few facts viii be OF value Sit
uated on Market street, IN the northern
part OF the city, just over the city line
and adjoining the property owned by
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, Is
q tract of land known as Penn Rose '
This beautiful piece Of property has
been subdlvided into building lots
which are being sold on easy terms
namely: $1,000 down. then S1.OO per
weel-and s1.00 per week, reader
means less than fifteen cents per day
Are you willing to save a little? Are
you anxious TO make yourself indepen-
dent? Do you desire 20 provide your
family and yourself against that rainy
day? Then here is your opportunity.
Never before in this city has there been
such a chance for the small investor.
The Pennsylvania railroad in making
Wilmington the end of their eastern di-
vision must necessarily bring thousands
OF people to this city. and in building
their new shops in the northern part,
those people OF necessity must live in
that section, and as the population Of
any locality determines real estate vail
ues, Penn Rose, which adjoins the
Pennsylvania Railroad Comnanys
property must in the natural coure OF
events rapidly increase in value.
In order to accommodate all those
who may desire to visit the property
on Sunday, August 10th, the Penn
Rose Company win run special free
cars, leaving the corner OF Fourth and

A Seashore Hint

The cult Of the rain bath is the poeti-
cal name given ito the latest complexion

everybody has already known, that rain
water is good for the complexion, and
that fogs and damp weather tend to
prolong the delicate pink and whiteness of
the checks, the young girls and younger

Care of the Baby

Teethng often causes peevishness
in babies. Sometimes a few small
pieces Of cracked ice tied in a cloth
and placed in the mouth will ease the
pain. The gums also might occasion
ally be rubbed with a bit of ice i'm a
cloth. Nothing is better for the baby
to chew on than a ring OF hard black
rubber. Hang it on a ribbon and tie
it around the baby's neck. Besides be-
ing adapted to the clutching grasp Of
the little fingers and of a shape TO
suit the mouth, it viii not fall on the
floor and become infected time and
again. A child must never be permit
ted to suck the nipple of an empty bot
tie or n nipple alone, as the suction Of
the air introduces wind into the diges-
tive system.
Prickly heat is another source OF
constant annoyance. If a bran bae
is put in the morning bath the water
will be softened and viii also be
slightly oily. tending to make it COO
and soothing to the irritated skin. The
bran bag is made by putting clean braI
in a sheer muslin bag; the bag Il
merely placed i'm the bath, just as
salt bag is. and is afterward permit
ted to dry. The bran should be reno
waited from time to time, as it is liza
BILE to become sour. After the batf
both in the morning and in the even
ing, the little body and the face AM
hands may be carefully and event
busted with buclSwheat -four Th
buckwheat draws the inhammatio
from the prickly heat.
! While a cold sponge bath Will q
any time make the baby cooler an
more comfortable, it should never b
forgotten that a bath given righ
after feeding or when the condition
overheated is injurious.

Velvet to the Fore

The part assigned to velvet this year is
one OF the highest Importance. Velvet
covered hats are in large majority
among the new models prepared by the
high-class trade. and the demand for this
material on all sides IS already much
above the average.
From the orders issued thus literally 1t
is evident that a pleasing variety In color
will prevail Velvet is asked for in pretty
nearly all the colors included in the Win
ter Est Nevertheless. It is the medium,
and darker shades Of the positive colors
and the light and medium shades Of the
brown and neutrals that have the advan-
tage. This IS explained by the fact that
81 is these shades to which preference
will be given for the covering Of shapes
A great deal will also be done In quite
light velvet. particuarly cream very pale
blue and white. not as a covering for the
outside of hats. but as a facing and a
trimming for the underside OF brims. =
