fact does not detract from their charm.
The lingerie outfit of underwear is
composed of corset covers, chemises,
drawers, little knee petticoats, long
petticoats and nightgowns.
These garments are; as rule, made
of fine lawn or nainsook ornamented,
with lace applied in ruffiing or in inset
and appiqued designs, with. Swiss en-
broidery, with all appropriate forms
OF handwork such as embroidery,
hemstitching, French knots, etc, and
with ribbon rosettes, bows and draw
ing ribbons.
The surprising beauty of the fine
muslin embroideries this season has
led the makers of lingerie to use en-
broidery trimmings more lavishlly
than ever before and the supremacy of
lace as underwear trimming is not so
pronounced as it was. In many cases,
compromise is effected, embroidery
and lace being introduced upon the
same garment. Especially is there a
tendency to introduce embroidery
beading in place of the lace beading
upon lace-trimmed undergarments,
and the notion is sensible one, be-
cause ribbons are run through the en-
broidery beading much more easily
than through the lace.

zine) their reasons for considering this
new influx by no means wholly unde-
sirable.
They acknowledge that the new i'm
migrants are shabby and ignorant, but
affirm that the ignorance is due to lack
of education and not to lack of intelli-
gence; and that the children of these
immigrants, our future Americans,
need not he Handicapped by their par
ents' lack of opportunity. Give them
the benefit of the education offered in
the United States to one and all, and
they may add to, not be a drag on,
need the artistic temperament of the
Mediterranean race"-our Italian
friends-and that the 'Alpine race
the Russians and Austro-Hungarians-
that are pouring into our country will
influence us for good; in the matter of
stronger family ties, family affection
being a marked characteristic of these
people; in more simplicity of life, these
folk not being given to mad pursuit
of wealth nor lavish display of it
to both of which the American of to-
day is supposed to be prone. Which
encouragement, coming from such a
worthy source, should lessen the fears
engendered by a SURVEY of our immi-
grafton statistics.
But the ethnologist agrees that the
presence in our midst of these many
Italians, Russians and Austro-Hunga-
rains will result in some disadvantages.
Disadvantages both physical and men
tai. We shall decrease in stature, the
average height of the Alpine and Medi-
terranean races being below that of
the worlds other race, the Baltic, from
which formerly the mass of our immi-
grants was drawn. And perhaps there
will be a conspicuous decline of that
enterprising spirit which has been
called American push.
The coming in of the great crowd of
Jews-they constitute II per cent. of
the immigrants now entering the
. United states-seems perhaps the
most problematical part of this ques-
ton; Tor they are supposed to abhor
and avoid all agricultural work, and
therefore add to the congested popula-
ton of our cities. In this matter the
east is more troubled than the west.
for the following is the local distribu-
ton of the Jewish invaders, according
government figures: 70per cent. be-
come residents of New York, nine Der
cent. settle in Pennsylvania, seven Der
cent. in Massachusetts,, three per cent
in Illinois, three per cent. in New Jer-
sey, two per cent in Maryland and one
per cent. in Ohio.
1t is estimated that during 1908 more
than twice as many Hebrews as are
now in the Holy Land will land at New
York, the majority Of them paupers.
Prosecutions in the lands they have
left, it is declared, are carried on with
the cold-blooded purpose OF Kidding
those lands of the Jews. Russia will

Maygars were four per cent; Croats,
Slovaks and Slovenians together, IL
per cent; and the italians, with 2s
per cent, were far ahead Of all other
nationalities.
Several factors are at work in at
tracing these hundreds of thousands
of people to our shores; prosecutions
at home; noise of our great prosper
ity, and the zeal and unscrupulous-
ness of transportation agents. The
fortune-seekers from the first find
their adventure fraught with hard
ships; it is said the cattle on the
ships are treated better than they,
for the former are given light and
air, while the latter are crowded in
the dark and noisome depths of the
vessels.
BY no means all of the estimated
100000 immigrants of 1903 will be of
questionable desira bility. There will
be about 1000 professional workers,
$4,000 skilled workmen and 100000
common laborers; $4,000 farmers and
farm laborers, and 10000 domestic
servants. Something like $4,000
(women and children included in this
number), who will have no occupa-
ton. AS the 100000 rule, the Japanese
that enter the country are reported
desirable and intelligent.
To-day there are about 10000, 1000
foreign-born people in the United
States-truly formidable army. New
York has 81 per cent. foreign born
among her inhabitants, and in Chi
cago's population there are 81 per
cent. aliens. In Philadelphia, % per
cent. are aliens; in Boston, IS per
cent; St. Louis, 1s per cent; Provi-
dence, 80 per cent; Pittsburg, ~ per
cent; Detroit, s3 per cent; and Gin
cinnati, II per cent.
A hundred years hence where will
be the ''New Highlander" and the
"Virginian?' Will the American of
that day know nothing of Plymouth
Rock or of the Cavaliers? Will he be
ignorant, consciously, of the ances-
tors that came over to America as
steerage passengers?

Japan's Civilization.

1t has not taken Japan long to get
into the ways of civilization. Less
than five years ago the consular courts.
such as the civilized nations maintain
for the protection of their citizens in
semi-civilized countries, were abol-
ished in Japan. This summer an inter
national exposition is in progress in
Osaka, with exhibits from various occi-
dental nations, and surprisingly large
display of japanese products manu-
featured in the modern way. There
has been no greater marvel in the in
dustrial and political history Of the
world than the conversion Of the mika-
dos empire from the standards sc
Asiatic stagnation to western life.

when China, awakes the world will see

of the day; young and old will wear it,
as it is the most becoming of headgear.
Mixed straws and straws of two colors
are much seen; the turban, bolero, and
French sailor shapes are the favorites
for everyday wear. The tulle hats are
smartest of the smart. Flat plateaux
of straw are very elegant, and are seen
in burnt straw, trimmed with clumps
of cherries and knots of black ribbon
velvet. or in black satin straw with
wreaths of creamy roses and foliage.
Let me examplify with description
of the hats shown in the illustration.
Tn one we have a most charming hat,
entirely original in design and made
in a novel and very becoming shape,
with curving brim of coarse burnt
straw and a center -of cream colored
straw left perfectly fiat, so: that the
hat has the appearance of being made
without any kind of a crown. The
brim is turned up sharply off the hair
at the back and fastened with an owls
head and feather mount, the effect Of
which is exceedingly quaint and pretty.

Britain, and this ought to result in a
great improvement of the breed.
The government has tried very
hard to improve the breeding and
rearing of poultry, and this should
form 4 very important auxiliary to
the New Zealand farm. The poultry
are received in large numbers at
government works in Christchurch,
where they are sold, packed and
frozen for shipment.
The climate is very excellent one
for the production of fruit, and, gen.
orally, speaking, pears. plums.
ounces, apricots, figs, walnuts, cher
ries, gooseberries, currants, straw
berries and raspberries do splendid
ly. Oranges and lemons flourish in
the Auckland district. The olive
bears heavy crops in North Island,
and the manufacture of oil promises
to be an important one in time. Vine
growing is also developing, and
though the grapes in the past have
been largely sold for use at the
table, an Italian wine expert has
given it as his opinion that there are
numerous localities suitable for
growing vines for the manufacture
of wine. Cider making, too, is car
ried on to a considerable extent, and
the drying of fruit has been greatly
encouraged by the government.
The soil is fertile and the climate
humid, and what New Zealand aims
at is not competition with the very
cheap products of other lands, but to
be, able to send out goods of bet
ter quality. This, Of course, must
be done by the small holder, who is
assisted in the work of his firm by
the various members of his family.
For such, very good facilities are Of
fered for settling on the land. At
Cheviot, for instance, the fine estate
has been cut up into moderate sized
farms, and let to farmers on perpet-
ual lease at rental representing
four per cent, Of the purchase
money. Mr.. Murphy, to whom we are
indebted for much Of our Informs
ton on the agriculture of New Zea-
land, says in regard to this: ..Pros-
porous homes have sprung up all
over the settlement, and tree-plant-
ing is being carried on by some OF
the settlers, which is proof OF the
stability of the settlement. Indeed,
the planting Of trees and shrubs is
one Of the greatest necessities of the
colony, and # I: their Arbor day is not
successful, we trust that the govern
ment will take this matter in hand
and do it thoroughly. For the rest.
It is enough to say that probably in
no other quarter of the globe would
the experience gained in England
come in more usefully.

IT'S estimated that the num-

.1EA, Der OF Immigrants arrlV-
X@N ing on our shores the pres
&%&E eut year will surpass the
s@e record Of any previous
year. Government figures
put the number at 100000.
Not only is the size of the immigrant
horde attracting attention, but also
the fact that a great change is OBJ
servable in the peoples now flocking
into the United States. Whereas our
immigrants used to come from Ger:
many, Great Britain and Scandinavia,
the invaders of these early days of the
twentieth century are coming chiefly
from Italy, Russia and Austro-Hun-
gary. Which change, at least at first
glance, would seem of doubtful bene
fit to the nation.
The Germans, British and Scandi-
navians we have found most helpful in
developing the country; they have
proved themselves good, hardy, SUBJ
stantial citizens, readily assimilating
with out conditions and with ourselves.
But these queer, little, dark Italians;
these driven, pauper Jews, what can
we do with them. What will they do
to us? Time alone can answer this
question.
People generally regard with sus-
picion the personnel of the latest i'm
migrants, but the ethnologist, the stu
dent of races, looks more hopefully
upon the question than does the lay
man. Two uthOrities-Franklin n.

attended and the ladies were most en-
ithusiastic about the work and full of
interest in it's success during the COM
ing year. The exchange, ii was decid-
ed by general opinion, has become
necessity, and it is hoped that it will
obtain this year even more patronage.
Miss Garden, who has managed it so
successfully in the past, will continue
as superintendent this year. All con-
signors are desired to report as soon
as possible to the exchange.
Mrs. Abrahams, the first vice pres
ident presided, and, in the absence
of the secretary. Mrs. Wolf, the min
utes were read by the treasurer, Miss
Egan. Letters were read from Mrs.

out of the city. Her resignation was
rendered, but not accepted, and the
hope was expressed that her health will
soon be sufficiently restored to enable
her to continue in office.

Lemon, then chief clerk in her Males
tvs State Paper office, and secretary
TO the Royal Commission for printing
and publishing state papers, enclosing a
fac smile of the pretended signature
and asking for his opinion as to it's
genuineness. To his letter, Mr.. Lemon
thus replied: with respect to the
signature of Oglethorpe (the fac simile
of which 1 return) l have looked over
upwards of $50 of his signatures, and
all are written at length James Ogle-
thorpe, except. occasionally, tho rare
ly, when pressed for time or space, j
Oglethorpe, but not one instance oc-
ours with the addition OF Edwd. All
the formal and legal documents called
him James only, without any additional
name; and l should doubt very much
the genuineness of a signature similar
to the fac simile." Evidently Mr..
Tefft accepted the opinion of Mr..
Lemon, that the signature was spur
ious and rejected the offer, as the
autograph is not mentioned in the cata-
logue of the collection of the former,
sold in New York in 1867.
In conclusion, / think l may state
IL as a fact that the only authority
we have for the double name is the
statement in Thoresby's History of
Leeds that Oglethorpe had two chris
tian names, James Edward supposed
TO have been bestowed upon him in
complement to the pretender," which
statement led to the placing of them
on the mural tablet-in the chancel of
Cranham Church.

A HOME WEDDING.

Interesting Ceremony at the Res
idence of MIR. and Mrs. Won Gundeu.
A quiet and beautiful home wedding
was that of Miss Gertrude Won Gun
dell to Mr.. Neill Edwards Bailey.
which took place last evening. 1t was
celebrated at the home of the brides
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Alfred c. Won
Gundell, on Huntingdon street, east,
in the presence of a small circle of
relatives and friends.
The house, with it's three rooms OPEN
ing into each other, was decorated with
exquisite taste, and the scene was un-
usually beautiful. Chrysanthemums
everywhere gave suggestion of the
season. In the first room, only white
were used, and these clustered togeth-
er on the mantel, half hidden in the
delicate masses of maidenhair fern
that covered it. Tall, handsome yellow
chrysanthemums filed the mantel in
the second room, giving a fine color
effect against the surrounding green.
In the dining room there was a softer
note of white, and the table in the
center was very lovely. Smilax laid
upon garlands of tulle fell from chan
delier to table. On a centerpiece of
fine lace stood a vase of great white
chrysanthemums, and surrounding il

was laid a collar of Irish point that
added much to its beauty. The sleeves

Mr.. and Mrs. Bailey left during the
evening on their wedding trip. Be
fore going West they will return to
Savannah for short visit The bride
was gowned for the journey in a tailor
suit of dark blue cloth,and wore a blue
hat. They expect to reside in Naco,
Ariz., where Mr.. Bailey is engaged in
business.
The wedding gifts were unusually
beautiful, and many in number. There
were many handsome pieces of cut
glass and silver, and some rare brio

Although the brides family have liv-
ed in Savannah only a short time, hav-
ing come here from Augusta, they have
gained a delightful circle of friends,

What the Record of His Baptism
shows.
Savannah. Nov. 10, 1903.-Editor of the
Morning News: Since the suggestion
was first made (by the late Col. John
Screven, think, at one of the annual
dinners of the Society of Sons of the
Revolution) that the patriotic societies
of the state of Georgia undertake the
work of erecting in this city monu-
ment in memory Of the founder of this
commonwealth, number of writers
have thrown out suggestions on the
subject in the public prints, and not
a few have, as / believe, used the name
of Gen. Oglethorpe incorrectly, the lat
est instance occurring in an editorial
in this mornings issue of your good
paper. Thoroughly convinced that it
would be wrong to inscribe upon the
proposed monument the name James
Edward OGlethOrpe, 1 take this occa-
sion to urge upon those having the
matter in charge to think well before
deciding to give the honored subject
a name he did not bear; and for thus
doing l give the following reasons:
First. Gen. Oglethorpe had no mid
die name. The record of his baptism
in the Book of Baptisms belonging to
the parish of st. James, Westminster is
as follows:
June, 1888.
Bapt. James Oglethorpe of Sir Theophi-
2. lus and his lady, Elinor. b. I.
Which shows that his parents did not
give him the extra name.
Second. He was admitted to Corpus
Christi College, oxford, July 8, 1904, as
James Oglethorpe, according to this
entry in the University Register: '1704,
Jul. 9, term S. Trim. Jacobus Ogle-
thorpe, c. c. c. 16. Theoph. t. Sti. ia
cobb, Lond. ECU. Aur. illus matte
minor" meaning that In Trinity term.
July 8, 1904, James Oglethorpe, aged
16, youngest son of Sir Theophilus
Oglethorpe, of st. James, London, was
admitted into Corpus Christi College"
Third. He never used the name Ed
ward, and that fact is thus strongly,
emphasized by DR.. Thaddeus Mason
Harris, the writer of the best biog-
raphy, we have of Oglethorpe: 1.-THE
double name is not inserted in any
public act, commission, document,
printed history, or mention of him in
his life time, that l have ever met
with" and II have not thought proper
to adopt it," To further strengthen
this point l will mention the fact that
in 1874 the late Mr.. l. K. Tefft, the
actual founder of the Georgia Histori-
cal Society and in his time one of
the most enthusiastic collectors of au-
tographs in this country, had submit
ted to him, with a view to its pur-
chase by him, a pretended photographic
signature of Oglethorpe, in which the
middle name Edward appeared. Mr..
Tefft, suspecting that a fraud was in
tended, at once wrote to Mr.. Robert
