SPRING LINGERIE IS DAINTIER
THAN EVER BEFORE THIS SEASON
The Kimono in Cool China Silks IS Still Popular
Sheer Materials Make Up One-Pieee Negliges.

The spring always brings with 1t an
especially attractive showing of thin
neglisee wear, and the first importations
and the first domestic showing of such
goods are in evidence.
OF the k1mono in its various forms
there is nothing new to be said. As gen.
erallv worn it is an untidy garment. but
it is cool and comfortable. and, for those
reasons, sure to keep its popularity with
the crowd.
One may buy it in any material, from
a e-cent cotton to a gorgeous iowered
eilk or embroidered crepe: and the china
silks devoted to the kimono purposes
this season are undeniably beautiful IN
coioring and design, the best having
Japanese suggestion in their bold, free,
simple lines, though few of the silks hail
from the Orient. Wistaria, ehrysanthe-
NUNS lotus, and cherry blossoms are
favoriJe themes with the designers and
the bird designs, familiar in the jap
anese embroidered robes. are now copied
in printed silks
Sheer Materials Also Popular
The Powered lawns, dimities. crystal
lines and other sheer summer fabrics,
not too fragile for service. are made up
into one-piece negligees.
The sheer lawns barred with heavy
white lines into large squares or irFegu-
lar piaids and figured in flower patterns.
are popular with the makers of the sum
mer negiigees. and excellent effects are
obtained IN these inexpensive materials

a large rose design, lovely in color and

On the bottom of the gown is a double

Hand Embroidery on the Matinee.
In the matinee as In all the lingerie
realm this season, hand embroidery
plays an important role. and Valencien-
mes lace is usually combined with this
embroidery, while little hand tucks. shir-
rings, eordings, ETC., run riot.
In many models an entire yoke is
embroidered in delicate spray or garland
designs or in broderie Anglaise. For
example one imported model has a yoke
falling low on the shoulders covered
with scattered sprays in hand ernbroid-
cry.
A line OF lace insertion joins yoke and
body and inset lines or lace run doWI.
The body of the sacque. The borders OF
the matinee are scaIloped and embrold-
cred. Lace frills soften the throat line
and border the three overlapping tabs
falling down the middle front, and two
knots of liberty satin with long ends
are set on the sides OF the front just
above the bust line. The fine lightweight
woods and silk and wool mixtures make
excellent nlatineeS or tea jackets for the

exceptionally lovely this year. and are

Challies Are Especially Dainty.

The challies with tiny sprig flower de-
sign set in little medailions OF white
are especially dainty, and such a ma

minute rose sprigs set IN the white cir

pretty matinee trimmed in Knots and

FORE almost waste of words to talk to man about
the knowledge derived from reading history and
biography who is engrossed in fiction. It is also
idle to inform the student Of history of the amuse-
ment and excitement that is to be found in reading
fiction. The one stores up useful information, but
the other merely tickes his brains with sensation
that is feeting. So it goes. What is pa]atahle to
one is nauseous to another.
A certain moralist has said: "There are four
classes of readers The first is like the hour glass;
and their readings being the sand, it in and
runs out and leaves no vestige behind. A second
is like sponge, which imbibes everything, and re-
turns it in the same state only little dirtier. A
third is like elley bag, allowing all that is pure to
pass away and retaining only the refuse and dregs.
The fourth is like the slaves in the diamond mines
of Golconda who casting aside all that is worthless,
obtain only pure gems"
The foregoing is very candid expression. It
summarizes the subject concisely We can accept
it worthy Of attention. pass it over as biased
judgment. STILL it contains more truth than fiction

THOSE who are in position to know predict
that the coming congress will amend the Chinese
exclusion law. They say that amendments are
necessary in order to be just to the Chinese If
gress does not give the Chinese the same treatment
that is accorded to immigrants coming from Europe,

nation to be unjustly Disseminated against
In order to exact fair treatment they are going
to strike this country at it's most vulnerable point.
American products are to be prohibited from enter
ing China When we look at this proposition from
the Chinaman's point of view, not blame
them for demanding their rights. If we wish to
have nothing to do with Cinnamon we should not
force our products upon them when they not
wanted. If the Chinese are menace to the indus
trial system of this country, should sever all
latons with them. But if we expect them to buy
American goods they must be treated with the same

In LONDON doctors are very careful as to what
kind of reading matter their convalescent patients
allowed to read The Scientific american con-
tans article that says certain books, which are
likely to excite the patient strictly prohibited
from getting into his hands Every book that has
a tendency to fatigue the mind, is also debarred.
This is nothing very remarkable, neither is it de-
parture from any prescribed rules that have ever
existed.
One can imagine doctor letting patient, who
is suffering from nervous exhaustion, read any of
the modern historical novels with it's hairbreadth
escapes it's stirring actions of slaughter and other
sensational doings. They allow such books to
get into the patients hands. If they did they would
be guilty of criminal negligence The modern doc
tor has to be well-read person. He must be in a
position to recognize the harmless books from those
that may be in furious. However, most doctors will
not compromise on this matter They will not allow
their patients to receive any kind Of literature, not
even religious papers.

TeNch1n6 PERSISTENCE.

IeOcb17lg .PerS1SteH1cy.
ISRAEL ZANGwILL is the author of several books
that have made him celebrity in English letters.
Those who have read "The Mantle of Elijah" in
which this gifted writer depicts the failure of
ing radical in British politics. will not be dsap-
pointed in reading "The Master" The former book
portrays the hero failure, but the latter makes
him triumphant all obstacles. The hero of
The Master is Matthew Strang, and his noble fight
to become great painter, is full Of pathos, Of self
sacrifices, and persistency that is rather remark
able.
In tracing the history of Matthew Strang from
that of poor of seafaring man to that of a
great artist Mr. Zangw has given the reading world
powerful lesson the value of persistency.
Whether he intended his book to be merely an alb
sorbing bit of realistic fiction, interlarded with the
unromatic, the dominant note that permeates the
whole book, is that is not beyond the pale Of
those who ardently strive for it's laurels No man
ever put his hand on the bottom rung of the ladder
more badly handicapped than did young Strang.
But despite his uncouthness his poverty, and his
many failures, he manfully struggled and con-
quered.
This story reads like chapter from everyday
life It can be read with much profit by the young
man who has encountered dscouragements and
failure. This book does not preach but he who can
not grasp it's lesson must be very obtuse.

EZeUNti71S the Drama


In New YORK recently the drama received
shock that will eventually have tendency to check
its downward course This action was bound to
take place, and it is surprising that the officials of
New York City took the initiative Henceforth
Father Knckerbocker will prohibit the presentation
of plays that afronts decency and fouts it's vulgar
ism in the face Of the theatre-going public.
The drama has many high minded and creative
actors. 1t has been honored by such talented men
Edwin Booth and Sir Henry Irving. But it con-
tans many makeshift mummers who lower their
sacred calling for gain And there are others whose
ambitions are neither to enrich their calling nor to
add luster to their name.
In her efforts to elevate the stage, New York is
deserving of encouragement. What is true of that
city's playhouses, equally pertinent every large
city in the country. If actors are not more circum-
spect in giving their presentations they may force
the public to adopt measures-a rigid censor
ship.
