 Firstly. as to fabrics: they will be lustrous and supple. Velvets and velvet eens easily take the lead both in popu- larlty and beauty; soft cloths of the variety termed "chiffon,' old-fashioned cashmeres, henriettas and brilliant pop lins; crepe de chimes woven, in double widths, like the cloths; and silks of won derful softness and luster are all favor ite materials for Horse Show costumes.

WHAT JAPANESE ARE READING

The first Western novel translated in to Japanese was Ernest Maltravers, by Bulwer Lytton. This was in 1879. It was published under the poetic title: "A Spring Story of Flowers and Will lows" The latest fiction over which Japan is poring-in stores, banks, com mission houses. railway and steamship houses-is The Letters of Self Made Merchant to His Son, and pirated at that! The lack of an international copy right law and the lax literary morality of the Japanese has robbed MT. Lormer of a royalty on more than 100000 copies which have been sold in the Sunrise Kingdom. But Mir. Loriner has some revenge; the Japanese clerks have to read it as a text book! "In the Japanese appraisement of the book" says Harold Bolce in his entertaining article, What the Japanese are Reading" in the No vemher number of The Booklovers Mag azine, its humor was entirely over looked. The production was accepted solely as a serious gospel to over-confi- dent young manhood" And yet Japan is not so far astray in it's estimate of the book, which does preach first-rate busi- ness gospel in homely language. But piracy and even plagiarism are not con- sidered more than venial ofrenses in Japan. Many hard-worked preacher or editor will sympathize with the liter aFy NOTkeIS OI Japan Who make no bones about appropriating a good thing when they see it. without the formality of using quotation marks. Only we Oc- cidentals are not so honest about if. The Japs-'the little. brown polyglots." as MT. Bolce appropriately and pictures quely calls them-look upon pla riarisr, "as an indication of extensive and tena- cious memory" and regard the use of quotation marks as "an exhibition of questionable taste" American fiction is not popular in Japan. but science philo- sophy and poetry are.

And. by the way, even tho most sanguine prophet would not have predicted the vogue for leather belts that they have reached this season. For many years we were given to understand that the leather belt gave a "harsh" waistline, and while It might be smart in some instances. could hardly be considered thing of beauty. But the leather people were not to be worsted by this argument.
