WASHINGTON, June 21.--Minister
Leishmann has encountered a singular
and disagreeable reluctance on the part
of the porte to enter on negotiations
looking to the removal of discrimina-

The citizens of European powers are
permitted all sorts of privileges that
are denied to American citizens, and
for three or four years past our state
department, through its minister; has
striven yainly to remove this discrimi-
nation.

that this discrimination shall cease, al

1t IS an easy calling. The only
qualification required is to be able to
read printed matter Other education,
judgment, taste, discernment, are in
no wise necessary, and, indeed, are
pernicious and should be condemned.
In the World Literary, the reader of
books is omnivorous. All volumes,
as fast as they fall from the press, are
his rightful quarry. With the same

There are two kinds of authors:
Realists and ldealists
The Realists write of things that
have really happened to them, and the
Idealists write of things which they
would like to have happen to them.
But there's another kind of author,
too, and that's the kind who writes
the six best-selling books. He is part
author and part business man, and he
makes the combination pay.
In the World Literary, shrewd
business talent really counts for more
than genius, and authors who possess
the former are very likely to get their
books dramatized.
Not all authors are inaccessible.
Some are real glad to see you. and
enjoy talking to you about their work.
But these are young and uninterest-
ing, or else they are women.
Women authors are about the
queerest of all
They are always either overdressed
or underdressed: and if they are pretty
they are conceited, and if they're not

In regard to jewelry, the rule is
simple and comprehensive, according
to the Partisan standard. Only Opaque
stones are worn by daylight, and then
only one of kind; outside of rings
and bracelets, parure or set of jew
els includes earrings, neck ornaments,
and couture decoration
A couture decoration, by the way,
is one of the prettiest and most dressy
of accessories at any function where a
hat is not worn. These ornaments
vary from the jewelled coronet to
flowers twisted from gold and lace,
and finally to the simple and effective
knot of velvet or ribbon. The color
of the latter must harmonic with the
prevailing tone of the gown or serve
as a touch of vivid color.
A charming couture for a young girl
with a high forehead is a modified
pompadour with a graceful fringe of
hair softening the line of the brow. A
bow of bias turquoise-tinted velvet is
fashioned with two full loops and up
standing ends A coral ornament
fastens the loops together, and the
large back comb has lattice top in
carved coral Any shade of velvet
may be worn to advantage with either
steel or jewelled pin.

mitted as a decoration. A band of
fur, with ruche borders and fringe

worn as far south as a woman cares
to wander. But if ruching is used for

wearer must be satisfied to use it for
the neck and sleeves, and must re-

to this seasons tailored gowns.
The ruffled silk underskirt that is
supposed to be worn TO match the
color of each separate gown is a
somewhat costly accessory. A clever
young woman, who aspires to the
fashionable fare and rustic, has
reached happy solution of the prob
lem by contriving adjustable silk ruff
fle sets of different colors, which she
fastens with tiny buttons TO a general
skirt of gray poplin. This same young
woman has the silk undergowns of her
transparent evening frocks so con-
structed that, by the addition of suit
able trimming, they can be trans
formed into charming gowns.
The hat is the most important of es-
sential accessories, and nowadays the
veil is an established feature of the
hat itself. The grace of the veil lies
in the draping, and the grace of the
hat lies in the harmonious proper
ton it bears to the gown. A hat is

"dowdy." The well-dressed woman
realizes the significance of detail; her

dowdy sister, through carelessness or
indifference, pays little or no atten-

walking boots with an evening tot

a pair of high-heeled ties with her
tailored cloth suit. An opal pin is
worn regardless of the fact that her
ears are decorated with emeralds, and
a favorite ruby brooch fastens her

balls that serve to keep her hat and
veil draperies at a proper angle.

simply hoppers, into which all liter

taken not to wear real lace with imita-

They're quite different from men
authors in their methods.
Quite often they reply to the COM
plimentary letters that come to them
from unknown and, usually, Western
admirers, and so reckless are they of
expenditure that they do this even
when no stamp is enclosed.
Women authors are more literary
than the men, because they read more.
Men authors never get time to read,
but woman can find time for every
thing.
Women's books are not like the
books written by men. They are less
coherent, less consistent, and less con-
vincing.
On the other hand, the lady charac-
tiers are better dressed, and there are
lots more adJectives to the printed
page.
Women authors sometimes are
found in the third class of the World
Literary, the women's clubs.
