FADS AND FANCIES.
By MINNA ScHATT CRAWFORD.

The returning throngs of designers
and dressmakers fresh from their sum
mer explorations through the smart shops
of Paris and London have brought over
some very practical new ideas in semi
fitting short and long coats that will be
hailed as a welcome departure from the
tight fitting styles of the past two years.
The return of the gored flare skirt,
which fits smoothly at hip and waist
and falls into voluminous folds at foot,
is also greeted with enthusiasm The
circular skirt is very pretty in theory
but its tendency to drag and dip at the
sides makes it ungraceful. In the new
skirts this sagging tendency is corrected
by means of cores and plaits which give
the new skirt the effect of being em-
panelled. Its numerous seams enable
the dressmaker to utilize narrow ia
brics and secure the full effect of the
circular skirt without disfguring criss-
cross seams.
Folds continue to be the favorite gar
niture for skirts. These may be cut to
the exact shape of the skirt or made Of
bias material, and are usually lined with
crinoline. Great care must be exercised
TO cut the crinoline on true bias, other
wise dampness will cause it to pull"
and spoil the shape of the folds.

Educating the Filipinos

In the Philippine Islands 300 Amcri-
can and 6,ooo Filipino teachers are busy
educating nearly 100000 pupils of all
ages.
Mr.. Scott, chief clerk of the Philip
pine Board of Education, said few
days ago that 10 per cent of the popu-
lation of the Philippines, nearly 100000,
now speak English, and that the Filipino
boy until he reaches the age of nineteen
is mentally superior to the American OF
the same age, but there his superiority
ends, and our educational system has not
existed long enough to enable us to de-
termine his capacity during the second
period Of his mental development.
The Filipino boy is inferior physically
to the American boy at all stages, but
the girl Of the islands, according to Mr.
Scott, though of small physique in early
years, exceeds at the age of sixteen the
stature of the American girl, and is in
comparably superior to her native
brothers
All the American teachers and 200 OF
the Filipinos are paid by the insular gov
ernment. The others are paid by the
municipalities.

The Fifth Avenue shops are making
brave display of soft flannel waists in
dainty shades of pink, pale blue and
delicately tinted gray stripes and mix

and cuffs that the Peter Pan" waists
have endeared to us. The waists are
more dressy and shapely than the "Peter
Pam" inasmuch as nearly all of them
have tucks or plaits of some sort over
the shoulders, which add to the bust
fullness and the blouse effect. The little

Oddities In New York Life.

There is no other city in the world set
amid such varied and beautiful SUR
roundings as New York; no city with
such a pleasing prospect of land and
water within and on its borders. There
is a river teeming with traffic that di-
vides it; picturesque stream on its
western line, backed by beetling pail
sades; mighty sound with green is
lands, abuttng on it, high hills and slop-
ing wales within view; broad, inviting
bay locked within its arms, and miles
of white sand going down to the sea,
where, beyond the breakers, there is an
open stretch of ocean reaching for 5000
miles to the continent of the south pole.
New York City has, ready for duty, in
the state militia, Io,367 men.
The coolest place of retirement this
weather in New York City is the Tombs,
teen summer guests, twenty of them be-
ing accused of murder and the remainder
of various other felonies.
During the last six months there have
sailed eastward from New York City
1853 passengers.
Out of every hundred persons in New
York City sixty-one are unmarried,
thirty-one married. five widowed and
three divorced.
During the last twelve months $4o,-
218,ooo in precious stones were brought
to New York City.
In New York City are about seven
hundred signs that read Matchmaker
and not single one of them belongs to
a matchmaker, and few that have them
could make watch; and if they could
and did the watch would cost about
$Ioo, while any of them can sell bet
ter watch for SEQ that came from great
factory.
In the 865 square miles of water that
is in New York City, with its 353 miles
of water front, is wasted enough energy

Pinless Chinese.

A member of the Chinese Legation
clad in splendid pale and hued silks,
stood before the Casino at Newport.
Pins" he said, cause untidy habits.
We have no pins in China. The right
way TO fasten things is with buttons and
buttonholes, or with loops and frogs.
To fasten things with pins is to make
use Of an untidy makeshift. To employ
pins is to become lazy and slovenly.

tain foreign manufacturers shipped mil
lions of them to us in the past, but
we sent them back. We had no use for
them. We were too neat"

One day learned professor was ac-
costed by very dirty little bootblack
"Shine your shoes, SIR
'T don't want shine, my lad" said
he, "but if you'll go and wash your face
I'll give you a sixpence"
"a RIGHT, sir" was the lads reply, as
he went over to neighboring foun-
tain and made his ablutions. Returning,
he held out his hand for the money.
"Well, my lad" said the professor,
you have earned your sixpence. Here
it is"

the boy, with lordly air aye keep

land been flooded before the freeze,
there would have been much less
loss of plants. This is also borne
out by the fact that last year the
temperature was several degrees
lower, but the damage was not
nearly so great in proportion, as
the weather was cloudy several
day after the freeze, while this
year the sun came out and virtually
cooked the young plants. There
is a good lesson in the present loss
which our people have doubtless
learned, and that is to plant
earlier, in order that their plants
may be stronger and better able to
resist cold. This is learned from
the fact that cabbage which was
planted early was not so badly
injured. and will make a partial

crossing the attention of the play
ers on this occasion, and the dis
tribution of prizes was as follows:
The first prize, a beautiful burnt
wood box, was awarded to Mrs. J..
L. Faisans, while Miss Geraldine
Kelly was the happy recipient of

box. The score cards carried out
the burnt work effect also, and
they, with the prizes, were the
handiwork of the hostess, Mrs.
Creager, making them two fold the
more appreciated.
Besides a good number of club
members present, Miss Breeder
and Miss Mann, visiting young
ladies, were guests of the club.
Delicate refreshments of cheese
