Roosevelt. after a conference with
Secretary of State Hay, issued the
following executive order:
''All officials Of the government.

breaking out of the present war. and
hopes that ii may end with the earli-

smallest possible loss to those en-
gagged. Such II war inevitably in

Some intelligence Offices encourage
even the greenest girls to abandon gen

cook, parlor maid, ETC., for it increases
the fee, many Offices basing this upon
the amount Of wages paid. This is
one explanation Of the decreasing num-

They are also responsible for some of
the restlessness of employees. Girls
are placed In positions and removed
when they are needed for others. Some
use employers as training schools.

they have learned enough English and

higher wages, the Office not ncglecting

THE SCENE PAINTER.
He Plays an Important Part In Stag
ing Modern Play.

He Plays an Important Part In Stag
ing Modern Play.
When play has been accepted for
production it is sent to the scene paint
er, who goes over it carefully, taking
note of all details to be reproduced.
Then, If the subject is difficult, he
makes sketch of it in the fat. If
this proves satisfactory to manager,
actor and author, he builds it up 1n
miniature model on the scale of half
an inch to the foot as perfect in pro
portion and exquisite in detail as the
finished scene. An old gentleman late
~, looking over collection of models
in one of the New York studios, re-
marked that his granddaughter would
be delighted to have them for doll
houses. The proprietor of the studio
smiled to himself. The models for a
single play cost well up toward thou
sand dollars. For an ordinary four act
comedy the models, scenes, properties
and costumes cost, let us say; five or
six thousand dollars. The cost Of the
great scenic productions is never as
much as the press agents say, but has
been known to exceed 100000. -
When the model is approved, the
stage carpenter takes measurements
for such framework as may be neces-
sary. The clumsy construction of the
old days has given way to the solidest
sort Of building. Windows slide in
their sashes; doors slam, shut and lock.
Staircases are solid to the tread Trees
are built up in the round, and columns
are turned out of solid wood. But as
every show is intended to travel among
all the great cities of the continent the
heaviest scene must be made up of
pieces short enough to be packed in
freight car.
The scene painter marks out the
pieces Of his model in tiny squares and
then hangs huge canvas beside
the paint bridge with corresponding
squares in scale. The craftsman stands
on the bridge with piece of charcoal
on a stick like billiard cue and
square by square copies the lines Of the
model, while an assistant raises and
lowers the cloth with tackle. Then
the body paint is put on, and the de-
tails are added until the cloth is COM

WOMEN IN TROUSERS.
In Champerys Switzerland, the Sight
80 - Causes No Comment.

In Champery, Switzerland, the Sight
- Causes No Comment.
1t will probably be news to many ad-
vocates Of feminine dress reform to
hear that the women of Champery, a
primitive mountain district of the Can
ton Valais, Switzerland, have worn
trousers from time immemorial. The
Champery region is in the southwest
ern part Of the Canton Valais, the vii
lage Of Champery itself being at the
foot Of the Dent du Midi, we'll known
to Lake Geneva tourists. .
The men of Champery are noted for
their lazy habits, and beyond acting as
guides to mountain climbers in the
summer months they lead an absolute
~ idle life. The women perform all
the hard labor required Of a mountain
eering people. 1t is they who pasture
the cattle on the steep and often dan
gerous Alpine slopes, cut the timber
and NOW the grass. 1t is usual
sight to see Champery woman, her
daily toll ended, returning to the vii
lage dragging her husband on one of
TIE WOoueu SlclSuS Ill ScucTul use
throughout Switzerland, her lord and
master all the while lazily smoking his
pipe.
Under such circumstances it is not
surprising that the women of Cham
perry should have adopted the mascu-
line attire. Their costume is of the
simplest kinda jerkin of rough, dark
blue material, with trousers to match,
and a red foulard to protect the head.
While desperately practical, nothing
more unprepossessing in the way Of
feminine dress could be imagined than
this costume of the Champery danes
and damsels. Moreover these wives
and mothers of Champery, who are &C.
customed to all the work generally
supposed to be the lot of the sterner
sex, not unnaturally seek what conso-
lation they can in masculine comforts.
Chief among these is the short briar
pipe, which they all smoke and evil
IDENTIFY enjoy as much If not more than
their husbands and fathers.-New York
