en-. Linen, of course, or fine mesh,
rough or smooth finish, has, to a
great extent, superseded pique for
children's wear; and though white
linen stands first in favor, all the
cool blues and greens and pinks and
ecrus are much liked.
These linen frocks are, as rule,
made rather severely, though, occa-
sionally, one sees upon even little
tot linen combined will, heavy lace
after the fashion affected by her
elders. Contrasting bands or bands
stitched in color give more child
like effect and the wash linen or cot
ton with emoroideries in designs not
too elaborate are distinctly success
full.
Russian cross-stitch embroidery in
frank reds and blues is particularly
favored in the making of children's
clothes, and delightful little models
in white linen are shown, with Rus
sian blouses or Russian smocks
trimmed in bands embroidered in
blue and scarlet Russian cross stitch.
The errue linens, too, take this trim
ming well and often piping Of either
red or blue adds to the effect.

A Criticism Of Success Literature.
BY MILTON MARKS.

'How to succeed" continues to be the bur-
den of many song. With nulnberless varia-
tons we are told, by men of long experience and
attainment, that he who would succeed must use
to the best advantage that particular talent with
which he is most generously endowed. With
this end in view he must pod steadfastly for
ward, keeping everlastingly at it, never paus-
ing, never giving an inch, going forward when
others pause, or slip or fall out. Following
this programme he shall one day straddle the
very pinnacle of success

WOMEN IN POLAND.
They Are Renowned for Beauty and
Terribly Patriotic.

Terribly Patriotic.
Polish women are renowned for their
beauty, for the perfection of their
hands and the smallness of their feet.
They place the fineness of the hands
above all other charms. Il regard my
hands. not my face" said one, and it
is reported in Warsaw that the Vienna
shoe dealers keep a separate case Of
shoes for the delicate feet of their Po-
lish customers.
Polish ladies maintain that when
they shop in Vienna and show their
fitted, the tradesmen eXclalm, "Ah,
those are Polish feet"'
But their pleasure in this distinction
is not so much matter of personal
vanity as of satisfaction in the superb
orty of anything belonging TO their
country. For they are fervidly patri-
otto. They adore their country and
hate her tyrant, Russia.
The lady of position rises between
II and - in the forenoon, and goes to
bed at O'Clock the next morning. She
drives from one visit to another, but
in reality she is laboring all day for
public interests. Everything, the
founding of a library, a hospital, a
sewing school, is made to strengthen
the Polish cause. -Four ladies do not
meet on a charity committee, says
George Brandes, without taking some
measure, under that innocent pretext,
for the national benefit.
AS a consequence of this charm and
spirit, the women of Poland receive
from the men courtesy amounting to
homage. The greatest consideration
for them is n commonplace of daily
life. Men always rise in tram-car to
give a lady seat At any public
place chair may be ruthlessly de
manded of even the most distinguished
official present, with the sufficient OK

In this era of multitudinous divorces
with alimony a California decision
which is likely to become precedent
Is of interest. We have many cases
of cX-husbands imprisoned for con-
tempt of court because they fail to pay
alimony under the decree of divorce
The California decision Is in effect that
you cannot extract blood from trun-
ip-that if n divorced husband has no
property and no income he cannot be
punished for contempt of court in full.
ing to pay alimony under the decree Of
enforcement. No doubt the authority
will bn followed in other States. 1t Is
the most unreasonable thing in the
world to imprison an eX-husband for
failure to pay alimony if he cannot pay
it. If he was at liberty he might OBJ
tain employment and earn a salary
from which he might assist in the sup
port OF his eX-wife. But in Jail for
contempt of court in failing to pay
what it is impossible for him to pay,
the sentence is simply one of life i'm
prisonment or for an indefinite term,
during which he can earn nothing and
can supply nothing to the woman from
whom he had been separated by law.
Divorce judgments. like other judg-
ments, in the courts, should be tenn
pered and enlightened by the inspira-
tons of common sense. In q case be-
fore an Eastern bankruptcy court a
divorced husband listed as among his
liabilities the debt for alimOny which
he owed to his former wife. 1t was
held that the amount due on alimony
was a judicial debt which could not
be eXpunged in bankruptcy proceed
ings. No doubt the decisions in both
cases are good law. If a rich husband
is divorced he cannot through fraund
in bankruptcy proceedings be absolved
from his debt in alimOny. If poor
devil without cent of property and
without wages is divorced he should
not be held in prison as penalty for
failing to do that which is impossible.

that this eXpanse of wood might be
improved by little ornamentatlon.
He picked up the poker, heated 1t
red-hot and began to sketch in bold
design. The result pleased him so
much that he elaborated his work and
began to attempt other fire pictures on
panels of wood. These met with a
ready SALE and Cranch soon gave all
his time to his new art. This was the
beginning of what is now known as py-
Biography. The poker artist of today
uses many different shaped tools and
has n special furnace in which they
are kept heated. The art has been
elaborated greatly. The knots, curls
and fbers of the wood are often
worked into the design and delicate
tinting produced by scorching the
panel.

GEESE CATCH FISH FOR HIM.
Canny Way In Which Scotch III an
Gets His Dinner.


"An old Scotchman and neighbor of
mine," says an enthusiastic angler
from Rockland county. has a method
of taking fresh water fish which, to
my way of thinking, excels all others
for the ease ,repose and success with
which it is conducted. The fisherman
living on the border of Rockland Lake
desires, we will say, a mess of pike,
perch or pickerel, with which the
waters are amply stocked, Well, he
simply goes out to his barn-yard and
selects big goose or a half dozen
geese as the case may be, and ties
baited line about five feet long to
their feet.
"On reaching the edge of the lake
with a basket containing one or more
geese the fisherman turns the birds
in the water. The geese swim out and
the old Scotchman lights his pipe and
sits down. In few minutes a fish
sees the bait and seizes it, giving
the goose good pull. The bird starts
for the shore at full speed, frightened
half to death, dragging the fish upon
the bank where 1t is unlocked"
