A Venetian Glass Collection.

A large addition has been made to
the Venetian glass collection in the
Stamford University Museum through
the generosity of a large firm of art
glass workers of Venice. The mu-
seum's collection, already the best in
the United States, will now contain
almost every known variety of Nene-
tlan glass. The Venetian room Is the
result of the interest taken in Stan
ford university by the firm which has
done the extensive mosaic work In
the church, which employs some or
the most famous French and Italian
artists of the day.
The latest addition to this valuable
collection consists of about eighty
pieces. 1t includes fourteen beautiful
specimens of Agatata ware; several
repllcas Of pieces in the Borabrinski
collection, some dating back as far as
the seventh century; replicas from the
collection of Empress Augusta, and OF
the Milan, Murano, Vienna, Louvre,
Florence and British museums. The
famous Slade collection is represented
by deep ruby-colored vase. There
are several pieces OF Moresque Aven'
turlna. Miledori. in Roman. Pompeiian
and Venetian designs. The designs
are different from those first sent over,
being more varied and embracing many
exceptionally graceful and artistic CON-
blnations. San Francisco Chronicle.

Philosophy of Clothes.

The age Of the blue stocking has
passed and nowadays the woman who
dresses unbecomlngly through choice.
and not for the sake Of economy, Is
regarded as either mentally weak or
as seeking some eccentric form of self
advertisement. which. is but another
phase OF objectionable vanity says the
indianapolis News.
Ia the commercial world the dowdy,
insignificant woman, even If she has
mental ability, is at discount when
compared with the well dressed
woman confident and smiling, with
bright capacity written all over her
comely person.
The latter has learned an essential
fact that confidence is born of good
clothes and therefore, with the genuine
brain power, reasons the necessity Of
making the most of all her good points.
BY doing this she engenders the feel
ing that her dress adds to her appear

erful adjunct to their personality. And
this personality is to them of as par
amount Importance as their own indi-

coming shade of blue you ever saw"
Alice blue is neither baby blue nor

taste who recently bought linen of the
best quality for a gown and who de-
sired it to be exactly the prescribed

but with the softest silvery lights up
on it. "They may tell you what they
please" said she, "I never yet have
seen linen that would not fade a
trife from washing and wearing. Now
mine has had a dip and will change
very little more in tone"
The favored blue shade appears in
everything from organdies to poplins.
Parasols, gloves, and hats are domi-
nant in the latest popular color of
fashion. More especially is it attrac-

general wear through the summer.
