this direction are not built on sand, but
we very much doubt it. In the mean

A very sensible feature of the dress
Of the school miss is the wash waist
and wash guimpe. The heavy cottons
are good and warm, and lighter weight
linens can be worn all winter over a
long sleeved corset cover. Like their
mothers, the waists for older girls are
somewhat on the tailored order, but a
few have frills, fashion put forth by
London tailors.
The favOrite outdoor costume for
young girls for common wear is the
long-coat suit Of heavy wool; of serge,
cheviot, fancy weave, or mayhap broad
cloth. For dressy wear perhaps the
young lady will consider she must have
a short coat suit. Desirable separate
coats are of seven-eighths length, but
the short coat continues in favor for
the more elaborate street costume.
There is much buying of separate
skirts for the school girl, and these are
made very plain, wholly untrimmed.
The same materials are employed as
used in the suits. Mohair waists PROM
Use to be very popular, and there are
exquisite ones of white on display. Mo-
hair school dresses will be worn all
winter; they have the advantage Of
easily shaking of the dust.
An attractive little frock for best is
made of soft cashmere or henrietta.
There is a narrow, plain panel at the
front of the skirt, and the rest falls
in largish pleats. The waist is sur
plice, the fullness confined in pleats
With variety in the chemisettes this
little costume will pass muster for
many occasions.
The right kind of schoolgirl does not
care to bother much about clothes,
wants something she can throw on
without waste OF time; and the alien
veloping wrap she looks upon as true
friend. The one here illustrated is of
blue cloth, the color little brighter
than navy; the fullness at the back is
fitted by broad box pleats ornamented
with several rows of black silk stitch
ing; large dome-shaped buttons Of dull
gilt relieve the plainness of the front.
For the girl at the awkward age"
anywhere from II to IA, the makers of
children's clothes are now preparing
waists that have a flexible featherbone
in the under-arm seams. This does
not at all interfere with freedom of
movement, and transforms a shapeless
blouse into one with suggestion of
graceful curve. Both big girls and lit
tie girls will wear the guimpe, clean
ly and becoming fashion. One may al

opinion of Kiichi Kaneko that the IA
vored few tyrannize and the masses
are forced to quiescence. This upris-
ing suggested general distractions
with the government as administered
on at least the one question.
Marquis Ito for 40 years has been
most closely connected with the his
tory Of Japan, and has been most in
fuential in the modernization of his
country, the liberalization of their
views. He was one of the first Japan
ese youths to go abroad for study, on
his return laboring zealously to &C.
quaint his country with need for friend
illness with the hated white foreigner.
He framed the constitution that was
so marvelously granted his country
men, he prevailed upon the people to
put on European dress, he encouraged
numbers of young men to seek liberal
education in liberal lands. After the
lapse of years the marquis looked upon
his work and pronounced it good. Not
long ago he declared concerning ia
pan: "Class distinctions and treaty
ports are of the past. Merchants sit
in the diet. Intermarriage is legal be-
tween any two grades Of society, 80
that the grades have practically disap-
peared. The Sumarai as class do not
exist. Even the forms of speech which
formerly indicated differences in rank
are modifying. In social relationships

most say that every dress now made
has a tucker or guimpe, and many Of
them are beautifully handworked, the
doting mammas having made them
during veranda hours the past summer.
Again we would call attention to the
silky mohair shirt-waist suit for the
schoolgirl; the mohairs come in plain
materials, in hairlines and checks.
Plaids are always more or less worn by
the small fry, and signs point to
more than usual popularity this season.
Henriettas and nuns yelling are liked
for. dressy occasions, but for school
that is selected which will stand rough
wear. Some mohairs tear If a child
but rises from her desk, others wear
like iron.
School frocks, in spite of what we
said about the hand-embroidered
guimpes, are marked by extreme sim
plicity. Good materials are chosen and
those that promise durability; the cut
must be modern, the design should be
simple. This is the day when health is
exalted far above business, and in that
respect at least we have advanced.
Numbers of one-piece frocks are
seen, worn by girls of all ages up to
10 or IL; the younger ones wear
the exaggerated long waist, the older
ones have the line at about the normal
height. Plaid and checked ginghams
and mercerized cottons are in highest
favor and make ideal frOcks for the
schoolgirl.
Details of the costume are looked
after by the sharp-eyed misses, who are
apt to scan one another's appearance
rather more closely than strict good
taste permits. Black ribbons are used
sometimes in place of regular shoe
strings, and a perky little bow is fas-
tened where the vamp joins the uppers.
as well as one tied at the top of the
shoes. This is really pretty addition
to the short-skirted costume, to be
recommended especially for the young
girl that is little lax about keeping
her footwear trim. She way try to
live up to her shoe ribbons.
In hats almost everything goes that
is picturesque. There is the NAPOLEON
tricorne,, the quaint three-cornered
chapeau that is generally becoming.
There are Russian caps with cord and
brush at one side. And then there are
white poke bonnets profusely trimmed
with black velvet ribbon. And we shall
add right here that velvet ribbon
matching the dress is used great deal
in the adornment of children's dresses

Writers and scientific men of the
present day are engaged in a never
ending, never-satisfied search for
things mysterious and at the same
time romantic. Let those who would
environ themselves in such conditions
invade the mountains Of southeastern
Zambesia in South Africa and the prod
uct would doubtless thrill the reading
world for years to come.
This mountainous country teens
with romance and mystery. Rising to
a height of 10000 feet above the sea
level, the Inyanga mountains give
those who seek the strange and weird
a climate which strongly resembles
that of Switzerland. The mountains
cover an area of country extending
about 100 miles from north to south
and 60 miles from east to west, lying
Immediately to the south of the mighty
Zambesi at Tete, and about ESQ miles
west of the shores of the Indian ocean.
Through these mountains passes the

stones. The approach to me bottom Of
these pits is always by narrow pas
sage or tunnel some 80 to 40 feet I'M
length. The entrance is at the surface
and half way along is ventilating
shaft in the roof. Sometimes mono
liths, still erect, are found on the south
side of the pits, at a distance of about
40 feet. Round about these pits are the
remains Of stone walls of circular,
buildings.
But the most extraordinary feature
of the 1nyanga range is the vast num-
Der of very old aQueducts some two
miles in length running from ancient
dams on the mountain streams and
crossing from hill to hill in a most
wonderful manner.
Other features that strike the visitor
to this region of mystery are what are
known as Hill Terraces, and these are
found in hundreds throughout Inyanga.
These terraces covering the sides of
the hills are mostly on their northern
side. AS many as 40 terraces, one
above and behind the other are to be
found on any one hill. Most of these
have earth behind them; but from the
inner sides of many the soil has, in
the course of ages, been washed away.
They are retaining walls, and most
probably were used for horticultural
purposes. Their constructors were most
probably Arabians, for in south Arabia
similar hill terraces are also found.
Traces of lost races and ancient peo-
pies are to be found throughout the
great area Of Inyanga. These evidences
are to be found almost every hundred
yards of ones travels through the
range, and in these traces lie many
problems which scientific men for years
to come will attempt to solve, and it is
without shadow of doubt a puzzle
which will battle the best of men en-
gagged in just this sort of field. In
yanga possesses a charm which not
all mountains can lay claim to and
that is the vast area which it occupies.
Sixty by 40 miles is the estimate placed
upon it, and this feature adds to its

That theSpeople of Toxic should re-
sort to violence and raise formal pro-
test against treaty sanctioned by the
mikadO. holy and reverenced ruler of
nation believing so devoutly in rever-
ence and a rulers infallibility, i'm
presses the world with the fact that
Japan Is now intensely modern in va
rious ways. Not only are the Japanese
proven a great power, but within the
realm the people are moved to asser-
ton of their rights; the leaven of DEM
Ocratic and socialistic ideals is at
work. And though the recent display
of mob spirit has been quieted, the
occurrences at the nations capital give
indication of radical change marking
Japan's internal affairs.
This appears deeply significant which
has recently taken place in Toxic. The
municipality passing resolutions de-
nouncing the terms and favoring the
abandonment Of the peace treaty. The
Barristers' association agreeing to de-
fend all persons arrested in rioting. It
sounds something like the Russian So
cialists, does it not?-or perhaps we
would better say, agitators? With the
exception Of the government organ, all
the papers seemed to approve Of the
uprising. This is the language used.
