can be called a master, and with the best will

Ii is long time since some One-the late W.
T. Henley we belieVe-talked about 1.-THE tract
disguised as novel" and thereby supplied crit
icism with useful phrase. Since then this type
of fiction has been nightly belabOred, and it is
scorned by every novelist who considers him
self an "artist'-and we are all artists now
adays Nevertheless, sometimes wonder II
there was ever n time when many tracts
were published disguised novels, as are pub
lishpd in our own time We not thinking
of books like The Jungle" in which the re-
fOrmatOry purpose wears next to no disguise ut
all We are thinking rather of the excessively
artistic works of noveliSts who would shudder
if YOU were to tell them that they were engaged
in practising nothing more nor less than the
gentle art of problem mOngering. We read OF
new story presently to appear, that 1t IS
study of character and its development, and
That if also depicts "a conflict between two re
Iigious ideals" This sounds innocent enough,
but experience teaches that novels of this sort
wear Il fearfully Fictitious air. that the authors
of them are very apt to reveal themSelveS-with
an uncOnsciOusness lending the last touch of
humOr to the matter-as tractarianS of the most
pronounced character. They are all for art and
the world well lost, they nothing if not Gre

themselves as strenuOusly with the proving of
a case as though they were commissioned by
Some unimpeachable authority to mend the
manners or morals of the world What they
do is often very clever and entertaining. 1t is
often too artstic-after a fashion. But we
like to think of how cOmicay embarrassed
some of these superior persons would be if
they were suddenly made to realize just what
they had been doing.

A writer in THE Spectator" puts his finger
upon what he considers the most important
characteristic of good criticism, 1.-The power of
opening out before the reader new and uneX-
plored tracts OF stimulating thought" 1t is Il
good saying This power is always active
amongst the masters of criticism. Why is it so
seldom TO be observed among our latter day
esSaysts and commentators? Often, doubt
because the writer has a commonplace mind
md could not be expected, under any crcum-
stances, TO stimulate the reader. but, as it hap
pens, a really thoughtful critic will fire.
Qucntly amaze you by the utterly unnspiring
nature of his work. We suspect that this might
be traced to the prevalence of theory and of Il
kind of cOwardice that springs from too piOUs
n respect for theory. Writers get into the habit
Of thinking too much of the particular "schOOl"
which most appeals to them, they get to mistak-
ing formulas for everlasting principles, and thus
Wc find them writing for their own little circle
Of Specialists The author of essay on
some literary classic is so fearful of dissatSfy-
Ing certain audience, clearly defined in his
mind. that he shrinks from letting himself 60
lie has no desire to stir his reader. What he
wants is to be apnlauded by some PROFESSIONAL
maGnatc for having proved that the classic in

What Shall I Eatp

From the Mothers Magazine.
Henry Ward Beecher made the remark
once, in talking with friends on helpful
Christianity. that good eating and sound
digestion were positively needed to insure
the kind of Christianity Christ taught"
what shall, or dare. / eat?" is seri-
Gus question with many mothers. Horace
Fletcher tried to answer the question with
a view to helping the largest number OF
people putting the query. He said:
Eat only in response to an actual ap-
petite. which will be satisfied with plain
bread and butter.
'Chew all solid food until 1t is liquid and
practically swallows itself.
':Sip and taste all liquids that have taste.
such as soup, lemonade. etc. Water has
no taste and can be swallowed Immediately.
Never take food while angry. or wor-
ried, and only when calm. Waiting for rhe
mood in connection with the appetite is
a speedy cure for both anger and worry.
Remember and practice the above four
rules and your teeth and your health Will
be fine"
These rules some time ago became known
rs "Fletcherism," and are being prac-
ticed by many who favor them They can
not be harmful, and they certainly are
helpful.

matter of colorings. The deep Colds and
reds or maple leaves are seen in trimmings,
whic hin intinitesimal touches will make
somber browns and heavy grays piquant.
Lovely black materials are also seen
smooth. satiny cloths, fine twilled serges
and others OF a heavy blanket-like weave.
Pretty vests showing embroidery in one
color upon material of another are
features of the moment and there Is an
effort 20 revive dressed and rough kid for
these. Brads. galloons. stitching and fat
bands are prominent deckings with first
autumn gowns OF tailor essence, and some
cuts are so ornamental as 10 make other
trimming unnecessary.
Chief among these are fitted coats with
several basaues made by the cut, the odd
tapping showing also upon the body OF the
coat. Shoulder capes, more or less large. in
single double or triple falls. are also
features of the gown styles, while skirts
may fall long or short, as the wearer wishes.
The limp grace of these utterly refutes the
possibility OF the hoopskirt, which, like the
bogy of child days. fashion Is forever prom
ising her disobedient children. All the skirt
styles deny even the remotest relationship
with the obnoxious cage of olden times,
though II cannot be denied that other
dainty fummeries recall some of the audac-
tties OF the sixties. Such are the little capes
which cross surpice fashion. some narrow
frills which even OF cloth may riot in wavy
garlands over a jupe which should be
serious and certain tiny turbans. which
look for all the world as IL they should be
mounted over huge chignons and tilted
fooishly over the nose. The chignons are

irresponsible hired hands and lavish care

A Summer in White.

From the New York Sum-
This summer that is quickly passing away
has been pretty comfortable on the whole
for those who have stayed in the city.
There have been hot spells. to be sure. that
have tried mems patience and led to In
temperate language. but the thermometer
has kept well within bounds and there have
been plenty OF places in town and in the
near neigh(borhood where the heat could be
tempered externally and internally. The
coolest element has been the dress of the
women. Whatever color fashion may have
decreed, the women disregarded 1t and have
stuck to white. White from their pretty
necks. which most of them disencumbered
of the hideous stocks, to the tips of their
toes. White dresses white skirts, white
gloves when they wore them, white shoes
and white stockings as the frequent rain
showers indiscreetly revealed. Not starch
ed, stiff garments. but soft, fuzzy cling1ng
textures. cool. clean and restful to the eye
The general abandonment OF headgear DID
away with the possible intrusion OF discord-
ant color.
White has ruled universally, and has
shown itself to be even more democratic
than mans dress suit. The girls and chill
dren from the tenements have been as at
tractiye and elegant In 1t as their richer
sisters. and it would need close inspection
to detect the difference in the quality of
the materials. White is as becoming to ell
derly women as to sweet young things,
while small children look so angelic that
We forgive their forced abstinence from
dirt. The bare heads with the white gowns
may have seemed tribe unconventional.
but they gave the streets and the public
conveyances holiday appearance that
was very pleasant.
On sweitering nights the white-robed wo-
men. slender and stout alike. in the throngs
that overran the ferries and street cars
looked cool, comfortable and ladylike. How
they manage it is beyond mans compre-
heusion.f Accompanying them. their male
comnanIons. with coats and collars of,
looked hot, undressed. rowdyish and vul-
gar. The more clothes they took off the
hotter they seemed to be, while suffering
fat men were an abomination to themselves
and to all about them. Some paternal law
should confine fat men in dungeon cells in
summer weather; there they could keep
cool. and they would not raise the tenn
perature of the people who travel with
them. Flesh is criminal sometimes.

So comes light gossip from the city Of
clothes. and along with 1t charming word
on jewelry-the pretty paste gewgaws
which strive as far as possible. despite the
scornful word, to repeat some Of the won-
ders of the Faubourg jewel boxes.
The bayadere chains which initiate pre-
cious family possessions are the rage here.
These are long twisted ropes Of pearls, fin
ished with tassels, strings of pearls
mixed with gold and other stones, from
all sorts of exquisite medallions and PEN
dants." Such extravagant trifes are also
quoted as frequent Accomplishments to the
plainest tailor costume.
And now to go back to these, and halt
moment with some actual models ordered
by smart women. These are shown by the
weeks drawings, and effort has been made
! to choose styles which could vary the de-
gree of dressiness. In the larger picture
are three costumes in individual models
shown by prominent maker. The simplest
coarse brown serge. the odd trimming of
influences. A cloth yoke whose cut forms
the breat pockets Of the coat bodice is the
most prominent feature here. There are
also hip pockets in the same material and
novel shape leather belt In the gown
color and small sleeves decked with an
outside band of the cloth. On the serge
skirt this trimming takes the form of down
running bands over inverted pleats which

fancy feather put on at the side at
shapely slanting angle. A tucked white
