SCHOLARS MAY MIGRATE.
Northern Students Spend Winter Quar-
ter in the Sunny South.

Competition is so keen and educa-
tional opportunities so numerous that
all sorts of inducements are held out
by the various institutions to win
students to their respective ranks, but
it has remained for one of the fore
most universities of the north to for
mulate plan whereby students may
work under continually sunny condi-
tons
Under this system students may
receive credit for work accomplished
in a small institution in the far south,
the same as if done In the large north
ern university So that a student
matriculating in the fall quarter in the
north may spend the winter quarter
in the sunny south and then return for
the spring quarter to the north, migrat-
ing with the birds, as it were
The same method holds with some
of the instructors. Even the cata-
logue of the southern university adj
vises students to furnish themselves
with fishing tackle and gun, as outdoor
sports are most heartily encouraged. Is
not this making education come easy?

In the light of the recent failure of

who has dazzled the spectators for
the last year or more, the posthumous
novel of the late Frank Norris. The
Pit. reads like prophecy. For the
career of Mr.. Sully is identical with
that of the hero of the novel, Curtis
Jadwin. The coincidence, however,
is not so striking as at first might ap-
pear. For the novelist was dealing
with human life as it exists, and in
outlining the ultimate fall of the spec

The lroauois Theater Fire.

A complete report is made by ]. NJ.
T. Stewart of the fire which destroyed
the IToquois theater, Chicago, Deem
Der 80, 1903. The report states that
the fire is supposed to have been caus-
ed by an open arc lamp used for light
effects on the stage. There were eight
of these lamps not entirely enclosed.
The fire hazard of open arc electric
lights, where sparks may fall on in
fianmabIe material, is too well known
to permit their use under certain CON
ditiOns, as in dry-goods stores, etc;
but the danger was ignored in equip
ping the stage of the Iroquois theater.
The asbestos curtain was imperative,
the probable cause being the pros
cenium light board hinged on the wall,
which Is said to have swung out I'M
der the north end of the curtain. There
was practically no fire protection on
the premises, and no fire-alarm ap-
paratus. The electric lights for the
auditorium were not under proper
control for such emergencies, being
dependent upon the stage control for
their operation. There was no special
illumination of the exits by red lights
or other indicators. The superior
character of the building construction
created over-confidence and disregard
of the inflammable nature of the con-
tents of the fireproof building.-Ab-

that is held $4,000, 900 of gold bonds.

Japan's debt is but little more than
fraction of Russia's Its total was,
before the impending domestic issue
of s50,000,000. By far the greater part
of that is in the form of domestic
loans. If the war is to be of long
duration, however, Japan will need
funds from outside her own realm;
and if the struggle settles down to one

national credit becomes of the very

TIPS ON LINGERIE.

The lingerie sales now on hand all
seem to point to the fact that woman
may have very pretty underclothes for
little money.
Manufacturers have at last realized
the truth that the American woman
knows what she wants and is not to ',e
put off with a substitute.
And while, of course, there are many
feminines in the world fortunate
enough to purchase hand-wrought I'M
derwear, still the great majority of US
have to be content with machinemade
underrigging.
Not only that, we want and will have
underwear of fine, soft texture, trim
med tastefully with filmy laces. not
Overburdened with senseless furbe-
lows, nor yet skinny and OF inadequate
decoration.
And so today one sees offered at
moderate prices very pretty lingerie,
tucked, rufiied, and finished with neat
ness, very suitable for the American
woman Of moderate means and quite
dainty enough for the most particular
feminine.
IL is, indeed, foolish to make these
pieces at home, painfully tucking and
gathering. Telling and stitching, prob.
ably getting nervous and perhaps
spelling a piece now and then, when
for very little more money one can
buy the same garment ready-made.
OF course, there is a great and Just
horror of all sweatshop work. but
nowadays one can easily know, by the
badge qF check upon each garment,
lnst where y h2s been made.
:
There is always some demand for the
flamboyant style of underwear, which
relies more on its gaudy ribbons and a
coarse profusion of laces rather than
on fineness of material. And so these
things are provided also But the
woman fond of dainty. neat undergar-
ments can always find plenty to suit
her. And with a little manipulation,
a tiny bit of handwork, perhaps, and q
substitution Of white ribbons for the
Shower kind, 1t may be made into
quite an elegant article.
In fact. some of our large stores

Summer Shirtwaists.

Shirtwaists will stay.
Cotton, linen, and batiste are the
materials TO be most used next sum-
mer.
In cottons one sees the fine English
percales, in mannish stripes, made
rather in imitation of the masculine
garment.
Models in Scotch madras, where
thread Of color has found it's insin-
uating way into the pattern, are also
being shown in this somewhat severe
cut.
Cotton etamine or scrim in close
weave, in white, particularly, will be
made into shirtwaists. The touch of
color is given to such a waist by bright
Russian cross-stitch collar and cuffs.
Tucked blouses and the more dressy
shirtwaists will be made of fine lawns,
trimmed with embroideries and lace
insertion.
jacquard fabrics, in dainty designs
and soft quality, are again putting in
an appearance. The material itself is
decorative, and little trimming is
used, beyond the usual wide tucks and
large buttons.
In linen are elaborate thistle. rose
and wheat designs seen, but there will
be more general use of smaller
motifs, such as tendril effects, dotted
desSsisns. anu cross-stitch ideas, all done
in solid effect.
For the lingerie blouse, soft, beauti-
fully fine fabrics. delcately embroid-
cred, will be used Many of these
waists will have round, collarless
iyokes formed of real lace insertion
and embroidered strips of the material.
Cuffs will be of the familiar waist
band variety. others of almost elbow
depth, some of them fastening all the
way up by means of crochet buttons
and loops.
The favored method Of fastening the
waist is down the back and invisibiy,
but there will be many Smart models
