NOVEL NEWSPAPER
Mrs. Ella Hamilton Datrzey Editor Of the National
Daily Reyiew, Has Proceed that Many People liant
Only Clean, authentic and Important News
Conrageonsly Trying to Realise Her Ideal.

There has been a demand for years
for newspaper which should Gull out
carefully from the worlds news the
clean. the significant and the valuable
and present it in manner acceptable
/ to the family circle. Further than this
many people do not care to have this
information needlessly expanded. This
editors rather than publishers, for the
business world is always doubtful about
new ventures, especially one whose
chief reason is based on moral dis
satisfaction with existing things, but no
one had faith enough in the idea to try
to realize it until last year awoman I'M
/ dertook it.
Mrs. Ella Hamilton Durley, in an ex-
tended experience in active newspaper
s life, had been strong exponent 5of
clean journalism, but she saw a chance
of going farther than that in con-
densed paper in which trivialties should
be eliminated and the advertising col
umns scrutinized as carefully as the
news columns. The fruit of her study
of the desires and needs Of very large
class of readers in the home is the Ma
tional Daily Review Of Chicago, Of
{ which she is editor-in-chief and part
owner.
The successful showing made, by
the Review in its existence Of less
tudn year Is uldhluS d SOOu
many experienced newspaper pub
fishers wonder if their Judgment
may not be somewhat in error, for
speedy and ignominious failure Of the
plan was predicted by many, in spite
of the practical experience of it's pro-
lectors. Mrs. Durley has associated with
her in the business management her
brother, John J. Hamilton, Des MONIES
newspaper man, and others.
In the field of a daily paper the OBJ
ject Of the Review is to present the
same class Of news with similar treat
ment to that of the Literary Digest, the
: Outlook and the Review of Reviews.
It deals primarily with large public af-
fairs. While the news is very condensed,
It is followed up carefully. Rumors and
duplication are tabooed, but all impor-
tant authentic world news is published
Dnce, as soon as obtainabie.
Some topics deserve and require am
plification at certain stages, and these
pre- treated in magazine features writ
ten by people of prominence and au-
shority. one of which is published daily.
n addition, there are departments de-
voted to the home, education. art, sci
once: hygiene, ETC., treated in nugget
fashion. The Review is not a local pa
per, giving Chicago no special promi-
hence ITS territory being national.
Mrs. Durley is we'll known all thru
The northwest by per previous work as
writer, editor, lecturer and club wo-
man: Altho born in Harrisville, Pa,
she has spent most Of her life in Iowa.

4 BRLDAL GOWN
FOR A PRINCESS
OUer Million Dollars Worth of Pearls Were Used in
the Embroidery the Wedding Gow,s of the SwI.
tan's Daughter and the Em.broiders We're
Guarded by Soldiers as They Worked

The most expensive and gorgeous
bridal gown made for a modern bride
was recently worn by the daughter of
the sultan Of Turkey when she was
married to the minister of Justice, Alb
durranhenan Pacha. The gown Of
milk-white silk, heavy enough to stand
alone, was embroidered with more than
million dollars worth of pearls. For
the first and only time in her life the
princess was allowed to help herself
from the sultan IS wonderful jewel cas-
ket and she took with free hand.
Each day so many Jewels were doled out
by the eunichs to the royal guards, who
handed them, one by one, to the en-
broiderers, who worked always under
guard Of an officer and a file of soldiers
that nc. gem might be slipped into the
worker draperies and carried away.
The gown was even tried on in the
presence Of soldiers for no one person
could be trusted with its magnifcence.
1.-THE Sultan's Hand"
The court train was eleven yards
long and each of the eleven yards was
adorned with the most gorgeous pearl
embroidery, ever seen in Turkey. The
pearls, the tiniest and most precious in
the casket. They were woven in a
pattern stamped by the sultan s hand
for it is Turkish saying that "the
sultan g hand is on everything.O And

stamped the pattern of his daughter IS

in prayer his majesty dipped his right

Now, this is the season Of the year
when you are thinking Of packing your
trunks. The mode of procedure must
be to arrange it's contents so that, no

they are beyond the average purse,
and so q substitute should be employed.

be fastened to the front inside, and
three directly opposite on the back.

remarkable physical makeup lies not
so much, however, in her size-for she

impression which she gives one of a

strangely enough, one feels the ssms
