for women. Out of the first LISA girls to
leave Michigan only sxty-five have died.
The census death rate for womankind in
general for the same period of time is 22S
out of every thousand.
Miss Million says that failure to marry
cannot be claimed as a reason for the I'M
usual health of these college women. For
In this first thirty years half of the girls
have married. In the marriage question it
is found that college women are On the
eligible" list much longer than the home
bred girl. A comparison Of the wedding
days of the fortunate half of the first thou
sand Michigan girls shows that nearly half
of those married waited a few years after
graduation before falling in love. The fig
ures seem to indicate that college woman
does not become an "old maid" until at
least ten years after graduation. Previous
to this she is bachelor girl and danger

mind the Countess of Warwick, friend OF
the English labor party, is touring England
now in her own speedy car, preaching the
cause of labor candidates. Lady Warwick

political distinctions of the labor ranks
make no difference to her plans. She wished
to strengthen the labor cause generally.
"A vote for every man and woman over

few look as though the effort had been ex-
pended entirely upon covering up the dress
material.
Quantities of Irish crochet and these
heavier grades of laces are being used with
the sheerest fabrics, generally. however. in
some coat arrangement. For instance, "a
thin white batiste or linen will have the
skirt trimmed entire deuX of novelty Valen-
ciennes lace, and the yoke of the bodice to
match. Then over the gown will be worn
a paletot or possibly a short loose Jacket,
made entirely of this beautiful Irish lace.
The fronts of the coat are spread far enough
apart to disclose much of the pretty gown
underneath and usually the straight wide
coat sleeves are discontinued at the elbow,
showing the tight lace cuff of the bodice.
These handsome lace wraps will take the
place of silk ones for smart functions, for
driving and visiting. and 1t is needless to
point out that they convert even plain
gown into an exquisite toilet. Harmony
must be observed most carefully with these
expensive novelty wraps. 1t would be in

the two ends leaving several inches between
the finishing rosettes. A fourth taffeta
band increased the opening in the front,
and from the rosettes two strips of the silk
were brought up to form a cross over the
upper part of the skirt front, and the ends
were confined under similar ribbon trim
mings.
The bodice girdle was carried out in rose
taffeta and the gathered lace was brought
over in surplice fashion. with the edges of
the fronts trimmed with silk. The puffed
sleeve had elbow frills of lace and taffeta,
with an effective arrangement Of graduated
rosettes extending UP the inner arm seam.

CASTRO WILL Be GOOD
Venezuelan President Decides to Pay
His Bills and Not Quarrel with
Uncle Sam

Caracas. Jan. 2O.-With the begin
ming of the new year the situation was
so tense that it was regarded with
apprehension in circles acquainted with
the contemplated policies of President
Castro. 1t is said on %undoubted au-
thority that Castro contemplated hast
ening what he felt to be a crisis by
giving Minister Bowen his passport.
but was deferred by the report that
the minister would accept them. It
was in his acute situation that some
of Castro's closest advisers induced
him to make overtureS to Bowen, who
acknowledged them by suggesting that
Castro might be able to settle his diff
ticulties with the foreign powers by
proposing to submit all the disputed
claims to arbitration; to make Il
permanent arbitration treaty; to pay
4 fixed sum of 5000, 900 bolivars year
Jy, instead of the uncertain 80 per
cent. of customs revenue. which would
yield this year only about 5000, 900 boil
wars; and TO continue, after paving off
the allied peace powers the same sum
to the German and British %bondhold-
ers.
Castro accepted these ideas except
that he would not consent H. arbitrate
any but the American disputed claims
unless the American government urged
him to do so in Il very decided tone.
The proposed settlement is regarded
here as of great Importance, assuring
peace and preventing possible compile
cations which might involve the Mon
roe doctrine.
