COST $1,000 A YEAR
Uses 100 Pairs Trousers and Ten
Evening Suits Every Twelve
Months.

LONDON. Sept. 1.-THE Kings tailor
has been giving in an interview some
details Of the wardrobe of Edward VII.
His majesty wears about a hundred
pairs OF trousers in a year. and pays
from S105O 10 Sl3 a pair for them. He
orders about a dozen evening dress suits
every year at $50 each, and for his
lounge suits he pays So.
Twelve or fifteen frOck coats, and ff-
teen overcoats are included in the
Kings yearly renewal of his wardrobe
The King has al least one hundred
naval and military uniforms, which
represent a large sum in value, but
apart from the cost of these his tailor
ing bill amounts 20 from 5000 10 $4,000
annually.
From the necessity imposed on royal
ty, King Edward has acquired the Gel
Gritty OF quick change artist in dress
ing. He can change from one suit into
another with marvellous rapidity.
His taste, which when younger was
inclined TO somewhat loud patterns. is
now all in favor of simplicity. plain
navy blue serge is his majesty's favorite
cloth.

Insanity,s Alarming Increase.

Most alarming statements have re-
Gently been made as 20 the increase Of
insanity IN England. and several public
bodies are seriously devoting their at
tentlOn 20 the subject. The Lancashire
asylums board Is considering the ques-
tiOn whether steps ought not 10 be
taken 10 prevent the propagation OF the
species by discharged lunatics. There
are few questions OF more Importance

That the increase is real and not ap-
parent is v0uched for by no less an au-
thoritv than Dr. Forbes WInslOw. who
gives figures showing that whereas iu
1859 there was one insane person in
every $50 OF the total population, at the
present time there IS one in every 2S5.
which means that the proportion has
nearly doubled.
When the asylums board has collect
ed the facts which may account for this
alarming increase. it will perhaps be
possible 10 judge 10 what extent alcohol
ism, chronic or acute. is responsible. and
there is little doubt that il viii prove

other day he wanted some small toy
which would have cost next to nothing

looked upon by the Princess Of Wales

Prince Eddie had no answer, but looked

The great Cooperative Exhibition and
Festival at the Crystal Palace drew at
tention once more to the tremendous
growth Of this movement. over 40 900
people we're present on the last and
crowning day, brought by excursion
trains from all over England From
East Anglia reports were received OF
some successful ventures IN cooperative
farming.
If II is true that many of the inhabi-
tants Of East Anglia are OF Danish de-
scent. that district ought indeed 10 take
the lead in introducing into England
the agricultural cooperation 10 which
Denmark owes most Of its financial
prosperity.
One most interesting feature IN Danish
cooperation is the way IN which the
gTOWn-Up sons and daughters OF farm
eTs are educated together in agriCui-
tural colleges. where they are not only
taught practically the management Of
the farm. poultry. and dairy. but also
study languages. literature, science. and
philosophy, and so become IN every
sense OF the word the cultured men and
women we find them to be.
Danish women particularly seem to
have more almost than any others, the
art Of combining skillful domestic man
agement and even actual house and
needle work, with intellectual and artls-
tic culture. while they can well hold
their own In al social matters.

Cortachy Castle, the ancestral home

The wicked earl had the boy killed and
his body thrown out Of the window in

fatal drum was heard was al the time
Of the BOer War, when a lady guest
who knew nothing Of the legend told al
the dinner table how she heard myster-
ious music accompanied by a drum.
Shortly afterward came the news that
the Earl of Airlie had been killed at

Freedom For Woman
Growing Universal
In It's Character
Movement Throughout Europe Spreading
and Is Even Extending Into Many Places
Scarcely Yet Recognized as
Being Civilized.
By LADY HENRY SOMERSET.

LONDON. Sept I5.-One Of the
strangest signs of the modern movement
toward freedom FOR woman is its uni
versal character. Echoes OF il come to
us from the farthest corners OF the civ
ilized world and indeed from many
places which as yet can scarcely be
Feckoned as civilized. We hear of II
from India, from Turkey, from Russia,
from Finland. from Japan. from swe-
den and Norway from Australia and
New Zealand, as well as from France,
Germany, and America. and here IN
England the question is prominently be-
fore us; and the demand is always for
freedom, sometimes political, sometimes
social or personal, but for freedom al
ways.

Desenchantees." gives "a picture Of this
movement as il is seen In the Turkish

Studying Domestic Science.
There can be no doubt of the wisdom
of the japanese government in sending
Miss sunni Miyakawa 20 study in Eng
land the teaching of domestic science,
so that on her return she may organize
"a domestic training college as a branch
CT the great training college for women
In Tokyo
She Is now a student az Bedford Col

Jion qualifying her TO act as a sanitary
inspector here. If this college is con-
quoted on the lines laid down by Prof
Jinz0 Naruse in his paper on the pO-
sition Of women in a useful book called
Japan by the Japanese" edited by Mr..
Stead. and published recently, there will
be TO room for doubt, in Japan at
least, as to the value of education for
women. or the safety of allowing them
perfect freedom.
He says; I'VE must educate women
first as souls. then a. members of So
ciety. and then as women. or our edu-
cation will never be perfect" Has not
the educat ton of women la Europe for
many generations been In precisely the

ing the pattern of the lace. Se'luins and pail
lettes have again crept into favor and in color
OH cream laces are very effective and elaborately
designed
A woman who has a good-looking, dressy black
skirt will do well to buy black waist with pail
lettes or jet trimming when she can afford it,
since black will have another run this winter,
and knot of velvet on the corsage or elbows
may be called into play when this enlvening
touch is required
OF course, Baby Irish lace and Irish crochet in
big bold patterns, as the rose and daisy, are ap.
propriated by women who afford them. A
cloth of silver or gold lining adds to their rich
ness.
Auover Venise, Valeneiennes, plain and fancy
nets, combined with various styles of trimming,
are light and becoming.
Lingerie waists viii be worn throughout the

round the figure. The short sleeves are very full,
and end IN frills of lace with full under-sleese
Of chiffon.
These semi-6ttng tea-gowns with full Empire
fronts yet clearly defining the waistline at the
back, always look trim and neat
A very pretty style of morning dress was made
with full umbrella skirt, cut sufficiently wide
at the waist to allow OF discreet amount Of
gathers; this was fastened to shaped corse-
let belt, and might be made all in one with the
bodice which was also full, and gathered on to
pretty yoke Of lace over silk, edged with white
and oolored galoon. This came well over the
shoulders ir rounded point, on to which the
full sleeves were gathered, and ended in another
square point low down on the bust.
The sweeping curves of this yoke gave an effect
of breadth and freedom The sleeves ended below
the elbow, and were trimmed with the same
gallon; at the back the yoke was cut round and
the fullness of the material fell from IT, pouching
over the belt all around
Los Angeles herald., 1906-11-11

These points, which fell apart at the waist
were edged with three four rows of stitching
which came down in deep points on each side Of
the front panel and curved up again sharply to
the waist, passing over and on to the hip. thus
the waistline was emphasized and the size of the
waist reduced, while for slim figure the front
panel was drawn closely into the waist; but, if
necessary, that panel might hang loose, and so
the figure be hidden. The charm and elegance
Of it all lay in the simulated belt with its deep
points, and the way the full upper part was fas
tened on to the skirt. The rest was quite plain.
Another pretty style of tea gown, which might
also be made with loose front tight one,
is shown. 1t had full bodice which reached
TO the waistline at the back, where it was
held in folded belt and pretty gold
buckle. This belt then passed towards
the front. and was caught on the bust
by another gold buckle set in The midst Of
a bow broad band Of lace formed sort OF
cross-over collar at the neck, and edged a chemi'
sette OF gathered chiffon. The skirt hangs full

tie epaulettes and extension shoulder pieces are
added. Plaits and tuclss extend well the
shoulder almost resembling cape shown in
the third sketch.
Many blouses are so planned that guimpes and
chemisettes may be added. The skeleton blouses
of silk to wear with lace or lingerie blouses are
decidedly smart
On many of the more expensive bodices for
dressy wear one sees the girdles attached, pre-
senting we'll rounded line, suggesting high
grdle setting infinitely better on most cases
than the separate companion.
Yokes and chemisettes are omnipresent, calling
into play all the arts and wiles of the needlewo-
man. No matter how handsome bodice may
be, unless there is little line of transparency at
the throat its essential smartness is lost.

The next design is of liberty satin, cut with
deep U in centre, chemisette of chiffon. The
shaped frontispiece trimmed in gilt buttons pre-
sents a new idea, bands of self material or silk

flee of lace. A line of wee velvet bows extends

charming model was half tea gown half day

matrons The bodice was made with a lace yoke,
which was straight at the back, but cut into three
points in front. The material, beautiful shade
of chiffon taffeta, was gathered on to this, and
fell full over the bust. The skirt was corselet
style, yet SO made that although fitting in the
waist at the back in sort of Watteau pleat,
was brought up shawlwise and fell from the
top of the oorselet belt; for it was really belt
to which the skirt was attached. and which fit

points which met on the point Of the yoke and
were fastened to it with velvet bow and paste

However, with its present vogue we
are wisely cautioned against the fatal error of
wearing waists with colored skirts unless the col
or scheme presented is at once harmonious and
pleasing
During its preceding vogue were compelled
to endure outlandish and glaring combinations of
color. Strawberry pink waists were worn with
bilious green skirts. And it was common thing
to see scarlet clashing with dark maroon while
figured waists of several colors frequently topped
of a nondescript skirt.
To-day, however, of all classes have a
better appreciation of color sense, it is doubt
full that repetition of vicious and glaring blum
