some sort of rose design.
The same pompadour roses appear on
silk ribbons and the workmanship in
some Of the more expensive of these rib
bons is exquisite. The same design is
used in upholstery goods. sometimes COM
bined with tapestry effects and 1t Is also
shown in some charming crctonnnes and
Chintzes and drapery silks The pompa-
dour patterns have been invaded the
realm Of hosiery and most of the new
fancy stockings are embroidered in the
daintiest rose designs.
one of the surprises of the coming sum
mcr is tho temperance of the plain
linen collar. That style of collar and
the wash stock, with which go string
or Ascot ties. are really the only forms
of neckwear suited to go With tailor made
shirtwaists. 1t is true, that lace collars
with ribbons or embroidery are more
ornamental and. perhaps, more becoming
to many women. but they surely do
not harmonic with the severe plainness
of these waists.
Laces of all kinds will be the favorite
material for trimmings this year Never
has there been such a demand for aces
ana rcVcr has there been such a won
dcrlu display of laces of various kinds
as Just now. Russian lacos. Point de
Nenise, Rruges and Irish crochet seem
to be the leaders in public favor and
will probably be used more than other
kinds. Net top laCes will he used more
than ever. and there will be Il brisk de-
mand for Oriental laces Chantillys the
new Mechlins Nnlencinnes and Point
d 'Alencons. Embroideries will also play
prominent part this coming summer md
will he used extensively not only on ola
borate gowns for dress ncca sions. but
also on simple dresses for street wear
Linen embroideries will continue in favor
in trimming linen skirts and waists from
the simplest to the most elaborate. Some
of the sets shown in the shops. including
collar. wristbands and shoulder pieces
are very handsome and ornamental.
Sashes seem destined to be exceedingly
popular this season. Ribbons of every
width and material, plain and with every
kind Of pattern will be used and there
will be great variety of styles in ar
ranging the sashes. Soft silk sashes
used around the waist with soft cling
ing dress materials. are very effective
and pretty and colored silk ribbons with
flower designs make a handsome combn-
alton with white or cream colored lace
dresses of more elaborate pattern
Some beautiful and highly artistic
hosiery is shown in the shops at this
time. Stockings with dainty embroidery
and some with beautifully executed hand
painting attract considerable attention
and would become quite popular wore it
not for the prohihitive cost of these works
of art The fact that tan shoes will
again be- in style during the coming sum
mer, accounts for the reappearance of
hosiery in various shades Of tan and
brown
Something novel in the line OF embroid-
cry and passementeries are the new but
ton effects, which seem to have taken
the fancy of the women of fashion
These effects are very popular and are
shown in a great variety of styles and
in combinations with other, less con-
ventional patterns.

Eman Ct pntiO of Fashions from Persian

New York. April 9,-For some years It
has been the ambition of Amrican dress
makers and mOdstes to emancipate them
selves from the rule OF Partisan fashions
and to create their own styles but it
does not seem that they come much near

were at first. Paris fashions still rule
supreme and all the fashion artists of
this courtry have gained so far is a GER

types are imported from Paris as they
were before, but the ideas are elaborated

Quaint Story of Victor Hugo.

In the diary of Sir Montstuart Grant
Duff the following story is told regard
ing Victor Hugo: An ardent admirer
once said to Hugo: 'The nation has
never treated you quite properly; no
street has been called after you; there
ought to be Rue Victor Hugo" "That
will come, my children; that will
come" said the master. Then another
disciple took up the running and said:
"a street! That indeed would be moth
ing; whole quarter Of the city should
be called after you" THAT will come,
my children; that will come" said the
master. Thereupon a third disciple
joined in: Paris should cease to be
Paris, and be renamed City of Victor
Hugo" THAT will come, my children;
that will come" said Hugo serenely.

Merry Divorce.

Recently worthy couple of Zurich,
who had been married for several
years, decided to get a divorce, and no
sooner had the court annulled their
marriage than they proceeded to show
their friends how rejoiced they were
at the news. The two principals went
arm in arm to leading hotel, where
they ordered a supper for several
guests, and a few hours later merry
party assembled there and did not
break up until after midnight
Those present say that the gentleman
who had just been freed from his wife
and who, by the way, paid for the sup
per was wonderfully gallant to her
during the entire evening, paying her
more attention than any other woman,
and that she, too, seemed just as hap
Ply as though she had just been mar
ried.

Prisons In Japan

Prisons in Japan resemble large coun-
try houses with many outbuildings and
do not, either in the solidity or details
of their construction, wear a peniten-
tiary aspect. The prisoners get food
in proportion to their conduct and in
dustry. Those who do not behave
will get q cake Of rice, which must last
them seven days. For the deserving it
is the ration for but four days, and
they get With it also a little horse
meat and potato or pea sauce. The
labor is compulsory, but not severe,
and the prisoner gets part of his earn
ings, though it amounts to little The
discipline is military, and serving
term III prison does not impose an in
delible stigma. Systematic efforts are
made to improve the prisoners. All the
youths under nineteen years pass two
hours each day in school. Even when
their term of sentence is over they can
not be released till a surety is found
for their subsequent good behavior.
Till this is provided they must remain
in prison and may do SO for indefinite
periods.

FALL RIVER MILLS CLOSED
Thirty Thousand Operatives Do Not Rs
port for Work as Protest
to Wage Reduction.

Fall River, Mass, July 26.-The
strike order issued by the Fall River
textile council calling for upward OF
10000 operatives to remain away from
the mills in protest against a reduction
of 1919 per cent. in wages has become
effective and the response was as gen
eral as the labor leaders had predicted.
In the thirty-seven mills involved in
the agreement to reduce wages it is
estimated that not more than 800 en-
tered all the gates in place of the tide
Of operatives which between o'clock
and 6:3O every morning sweeps
through the various entrances, and be-
fore s o'clock practically every mill in
vOlved in the trouble had shut down.
The strikers, who in some instances
had assembled near the mills, dis
persed quietly.
Both sides admit that this is the
beginning of one OF the most deter
mined contests which Fall River has
ever seen. The manufacturers main
tain that they have tried every plan
which they could think of to avoid q
reduction Of wages, and took that final
step only when driven to do SO to save
their business. On the other hand, the
operatives says that the conditions af-
fecting cotton manufacturers here did
not warrant such 4 reduction
