ly and becoming fAsh3on. One may a.
most say that every dress now made
has tucker or guimpc, and many Of
them are beautifully haxdworked, 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.
HenNettas 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 fussiness, 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 II: 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. ~ ..s-. =. IT,
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 perky little bow IN fas-
tened where the vamp joins the uppers,
as well as one tied at the top Of the
shoes. This is really q 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 a great deal
IN the adornment of children's dresses.

Styles from Across the Water

The corselet skirt, worn with a very
short Elton or sort of bolero, is exhib-
Tied by exclusive dealers, but is some
thing not easily fitted or easily made
by an inexperienced hand; wherefore to
be avoided. The skirt with a girdle
attachment is close enough kin and not
SO hard to construct. The girdle should
be of the same shade as the rest of the
costume, this is prominently the day
Of harmony.
In millinery, shaded hats are the
most desirable, and there are very
lovely browns to be seen, rivaling the
shaded rose and shaded plums. AL

KINGS Punctualitv.

All men agree in the abstract that
.'*punctuality is the soul of business, -
but few act up to the maxim with the
strictness of the king of the Belgians.
Wherever or however he may travel
whether the visit be of business, pleas
ure or ceremony, he is punctual, not
only to the hour. but to the minute-it
might almost be said to the second. And
yet his majesty is never seen to consult
a watch: But his familiars know thai

flowing beard is only device for glanc,

fastened to his wrist-London Globe.

the cabinet is resignation" The Hachi
compares Japan's capital with the cap
ital Of Russia and asserts that the
peace treaty was sole cause for the ''sad
and shameful occurrences" Another
paper, the Manichi, cries: Heed the
voice of the nation. Heed the express
sion Of the nations desire. The ma
tons voice is full of anger" And it
boldly suggests that the anger might be
appeased by the resignation of the cab
met. The people, angered because the
government stands for progress and
concession in the interest of modern
civilization, rise against liberal views;
though it was liberal Japan that made
1t possible for them to rise.
1t is most difficult to get true pic
ture OF the Japanese, travellers and ma
tive patriots are so wont to present an
idealized view, they ever paint cour-
try we feel sure is too Utopian to ex-
list. They tell us that in the land of
the Yankees of the East" perfect lib
erty is enjoyed; that though wages are
small there, prices are low, everybody
is happy; that Japan has no saloons
and no strikes. In reading and listen
ing we build up Japan of universal
liberty and JOY, government whose
machinery runs on the smoothest of
wheels. But writer in the Arena,
Kiichi Kaneko, attempts to break down
this illusion, to give us correct view.
But perhaps we should admit that his
article bears the title Japan AS
Viewed by Native Socialist"
Kiichi Kaneko tells us OF strikes and
civil broils innumerable, and tells US
that the so-called democracy is no true
democracy. (The gentleman is CORE
spondent Of paper in Toxic, and not
to be COMPOUNDED with Baron Kaneko,
personal Representative of the emperor
of Japan.) He tells us the Japanese
government system is make believe
system; it is not by the people, of the
people, for the people. 1t is the gov
eminent of the few. Of mobiles, Of the
titles, and above all. of the fgurehead
the mikado." A different view than
that of Marquis Ito, which we shall
present later. 49,. -r.. y f.
One Of the Japanese papers, COM
menting on the rioting, made tie asser.
ton that those taking part therein
were not irresponsible agitators, but
those having good standing in society:
and though the later disturbances were
traced to rowdyi it is agreed very
different class participated at the be-
ginning Of the expression Of dissatis-
faction with the governments action.
4 Which seems to contradict little the
opinion Of Kiichi Kaneko that the IA
!vored few tyrannize and the masses
are forced to quiescence. This upris-
/ ing suggested general disaffections
with the government as administered
on at least the one question. . (

AN OCEAN ENIGMA.
Mystery uf the Fate of the Crew Of
the Ship Marie Celeste.


Undoubtedly the most extraordinary
of all the mysteries of the sea is the
fate OF the crew of the ship Marie
Celeste. Il more fantastic creation ap-
parcntly than novelist ever wovc. She
left New York in 1857 for Europe, her
personnel being thirteen. including the
captains wife AMI child. Two weeks
later II British bark sighted her in the
Atlantic. There was no sign OF life on
board. a boat was sent TO her, and
n most exhaustive search proved her
to he as silent rs the tomb. as desert
ell rs pesihouse. Everything was in
its place, even tho boats ut the davits
The hull was unchanged. the cargo
untouched. Rigging and spars were
intact; the sails were all set Tho
crews weekly wash hung above the
Bnnacle and wheel ana rudder were
complete. The sailors kits and din
ncrs were seen in the forecastle. In
the cabin was sewing machine, with
n child's garment under the needle, and
on the table a half eaten meal. Tho
chronometcr licked undisturbed in the
chartroom; the cash box was unriflcd.
The logbook, posted 10 within forty
eight hours Of the visit, showed the
passage to have been favorable; the
ships appearance proved there had
been no storm. Evidences of strug-
gle or piracy or murder there were
none. Yet thirteen people had disap.
peared as il spirited away by some
supernatural agency, and from that
day TO this the mystery has never been
unravcled, though the United States
government spared no effort to solve
it.-P. Il. McGrnth in McClure's Maya
