FASHIONS FROM OLD MASTERS

Mode hunting among the old masters is 2 sport which has been taken up with enthusiasm by those dwellers in London's suburbs who. while unable to avail themselves of the service of q Redfern or a Paquin, yet share the ever growing craze for individuality in dress.
 1t looks lA,o 2 serious renascense on interest in art for arts sake, this sud- den influx of ladies from BriXton and Bayswater and far-off West Kensing- ton through the turnstiles of the Ma tional Gallery.
 Appearances, however. occasionally mislead One has only to join a group of ladies excitedly discussing a Titan or a Veronese or follow this or that solitary sportswoman, hurrying through the Tuscan school with the air of one who seeks for buried treasure, to real ize the true inwardness of their aes- thetic zeal.
 That's just the shade of red that suits Dorothy so well'-this before a Titan beauty in crimson satin-"I saw the very thing in Brown & Jones s window at Is II 3-4d, cotton backed of course, and-nO, not quite so low Those wrinkles around the waist are too dOwdy, but the general effect, with a few paste buttons added"
 The possibilities of the sport are end 1 less. Dutch masters are capital for dressing sacks and lend themselves to reproduction in fannelette. Vandyck suggests ingenious ways of freshing uI a passe bodice with lace, and for negli- gees Botticelli and Fra-Angelico are difficult to improve upon.-London Daily Mail

The Result of the Last Quarterly Ex.
 animation.

Of forty-one applicants who took the regular quarterly teachers eXamina- tion on the first of December, twenty eight were granted certificates by the territorial board of examiners, two on normal diplomas and four additional life diplomas were granted by the board of education on the recommend ation of the board of examiners, mak- ing thirty-four in all. These are not all new teachers, for many of them have been engaged subject to the re- suit of the examinations, and have been teaching pending the report upon them. The meetings of both boards were delayed for a week or two on ac- count of the floods interfering with the mails in which the papers were. But both boards met on Saturday, the result of their proceedings and eXami- nations being announced yesterday. The board of education is composed of Governor Kibbey. Treasurer F. F.. Kirkland, Professor Matthews, of the Tempe Normal, Professor Taylor, of the Northern Arizona Normal. Dr. Rabcock, of the university, Superin- tendent Layton, Prof. George Blount, of the high school, and J. D. Loper, of the Mesa schools.
 Life diplomas were issued to Mrs. Louisa o. Dodge, of Santa Cruz coun- ty. Maude F. Douglas, of Graham county, Miss c. Ruth Opdylle and II F. Berner, of Coclise county.
 The bill of the California school for the deaf and blind for the tuition and board of Arizona pupils for SIX months, amounting to S975, was allowed. The bill of a similar institution in Utah. for the tuition of one boy, amounting to $125, was disallowed. for the reason that the pupil had not been regularly admitted.
 The course of study of the Clifton high school, recently organized, was approved, and a number of other mat ters were informally discussed. At the meeting of the board of cX- aminors. first grade certificates were issued as follows: To w. l.. Lutz, Of Cochise county; Luther J. Cappock, of Apache county, and Sophie Rabin- novitZ. of Gila county
 Second grade certificates were iT- sued as follows: F. l. Baughman. Katharine NJ Burke. Hazel Hyde, and Elsie CIeverdon, of Cochise county; Mabel Miles and Adele Skaats, of Nay a jo; Mrs Emma Satelo, Hattie NJ. Boucher. and Sara F.. Garst. of Mo have county: B. K. Wilson, Helen Marks, Katherine Hogan, Amelie Thompson, Grace l.. Ames, and George w. Allen of Pima county; Carlotta Cast and Laura F.. Dean of Santa Cruz county; Lois A. Stewart of Yuma county: Mrs. James Mclean, J. A. HerndOn, Ruth Gibbs, and Amelia Ra- binnovitz of Gila county; Anna NJ. Lo- gan and Lou Yates of Graham county.
 All the above were on examination. Two more certificates of the first grade were granted. one to Zella Jones of Co., conino county on a diploma issued by the Northern Arizona Normal and the other to Katherine Tawney, of Mari copa,. on a life certificate issued by the state of Nebraska.

ROBBED HIS ROOMMATE
The Base Insratitude of the Hungry
 Homer Barker.

This morning before Judge John stone, Homer Barker, will be given an opportunity of explaining how he came in possession of a sum of money amounting to over five dollars when the night before he was arrested he was dead broke and had slept that night in the same room with a man who missed a similar amount from his trousers pocket the next morning. The theory of the police is that Barker stole the money and he himself was unable to give a plausible explanation of how wealth was so suddenly ac- quired.
 Sunday night Barker fell in with Jacob Baumli and on a plea that he was in great need of food and drink succeeded in securing assistance. Baumli fed him and then the two had several rounds of drinks together. It was nearing bedtime and Baumli of fered Barker the privilege of his room that individual claiming he would otherwise have to stay up all night. When the pair retired Baumli had con siderable money in his clothes but Barker was broke" The next morn ing when Baumli awoke Barker was gone and on dressing he found that the money which he had in his trOu- sers pocket the night before was also gone. Suspicion at once rested on Barker and the police were notified. He had spoken the day before of wanting to go to Mesa and it was at the M. X P. depot that Officer A. J. Moore To- cated and arrested him. Deducting the cost of the drunk he had accumulated Barker had on his person just abOu- the amount of money that was missing. He was accordingly taken to the city

I'm THE days when life used to be
b much sim pier than now, we, in this
republic, made much Of our winter
81 evening lecture courses and our
winter evening concerts.
AS our great cities have grown cos
mopolitan, the number Of evening en-
tertainments, of every sort and variety,
has been multiplied, and people may
freely choose what they will in theatre
cal representation, operate singing, or
scientific instruction from the lecture
platform. In the smaller towns and
villages and in suburbs limited by hour
ly trains, there is less liberty of selec-
ton, and judicious preparation before
hand is essential if the Writer is not
to be barren of profit.
In the old days, we had philosophers
like Ralph Waldo Emerson, statesmen
like Horace Greeley, men of letters like
Oliver Wendell Holmes, or George Will
lam Curtis, and fiery orators like. Wen
the places in our lecture courses, and
season after season they appeared and
lifted the public taste and enlarged
popular ideas. From across, the water
came Charles Dickens, w. M. Thackeray
and Matthew Arnold, giving their hear
ers full tithes of satisfaction and car
rying back with them a lavish harvest
of American gold. The great singers
came, both men and women, and while
the cities heard, them first in opera
most of them later condescended to the
palmer concert stage in places where
operas could not be rendered.
Still the great singers come to us
and still we have lecturers from the

pretty Young grandmother under his
arm and carried her forth to hear the
Peake sisters, or the Hutchinson family
or the Swiss bell ringers, give one OF
their performances. We are by way OF
being more exacting and more fastid-
ious in these times, and we demand the
best that modern culture in music can
afford for our pleasure.
The fault Of our programs is that they
are almost invariably much too long,
so that to the artists it must appear
that we are determined to get more
than the worth Of our money, while,
not contented with this, the average
audience proceeds to encore every num-

I have an affection for concert sing
ers, who have never aspired to grand
opera, but who MARBLE for US in pure,
sweet, simple strains, songs that simple
me, and for many just like me, is SO
satisfying as one where the repertoire
includes old ballads, Scottish songs that
bewitch the heart, and possibly some
of the patriotic tunes that stir the blood
. until it thrills with ardor in the veins.
For a winter evening once in way,
try the pleasure you can get from SIM
pie, old-fashioned music, that has In il
the power to touch the heart.
The real time to devote to lectures
and similar entertainments is when the
DAYS are short and the evenings long,
and few outside invitations beckon fam
lilies apart. In those months parents
and children, neighbors and friends,
may together make use Of opportuni-
ties which will yield long enrichment.

In the program for the winter there
ought to be, for example, a lecture on
some astronomical or other scientific
theme, which shall be given by an ex-

should be illustrated by stereopticon

A lecturer who reads his manuscript
closely, or who has a squeaky, ineffective
voice, need never hope to enthrall his
audience. The audience, so to speak,
at lecture, have seats in the parlor
car, and they are not expected to un-
dergo any discomfort that can be saved
them. The lecturer who cannot be
heard with ease, in every corner Of the
room, need not expect second engage
ment.

it's trimmings are either Of the same

There is also question as to whether
the stout woman looks well in fur
coat, ~and the leading dressmakers Of
Paris have solved the problem by de-
claring that she does not. 'There are
