SHORT SLEEVES MAKE
GLOVE BILLS LONGER

LONDON, May 26-The fashionable
elbow sleeves have sent up the price Of
gloves 20 an extraordinary figure. Three
times the amount Of skin used for ord
mary gloves Is required 10 make a pair
OF long gloves, and the natural effect
has been to ''stinen" prices.
Many American buyers are IN London
making hastily large purchases Of long
gloves before the prices are still further
enhanced.
There are also indications that high
class gloves will be more elaborate than
now, being ornamented with embroidery
and other decorations in imitation Of
seventeenth century styles.

Finds American Women Unsympathetic
The Society OF American Women IN
London the other day invited Dr. Emil
Reich-that philosopher OF the fashion

Education Bill Rouses Religionists.
The division on the second reading OF
the education bill places the govern
ment majority at 2O6. These figures oc-
casion the greatest dismay among the
ranks OF those who prophesIed a SUBJ
stantial reduction IN the majority in
favor Of the bill after the .virulent
criticisms which have been poured on
il from all sections OF the conservative
church parties.
Indeed, the most extraordinary feel
Ing has been aroused In the country on
the subject OF religion that has been
experienced in recent or modern times
A bond IS furnished by the bill between
Roman and English Catholics which
has hitherto never existed. A mass
meeting of the Roman Church in the
Albert Hall denounced the bill and all
its progenitors. The next day the Angli-
cans occupied the same platform for
the same purpose. Thirty thousand
people were computed to have been
turned away from the Roman meeting.
German Art Exhibition.
An exhibition Of German art to be
opened shortly in London marks another
pleasant step In international art poll
tics which may have some effect on the
overwhelming provincialism reIeEatinx
art In England to an efrete academy.
Some artistic souls, among whom II
is notable to find women the moving
instigators, following the example set
by Lord Avebury for an AuElo-Gerunan
alliance IN art and letters II not IN
armament. have arranged that the finest
works of modern German artists should
be shown in London at a suitable exhI-
bition in the new gallery 70 be opened IN
May.
This progression IN art is more sensa-
tional than one would imagine. For
years the young schools OF painters in
England and Scotland have found a
market in Germany for their most dar-
ing and original work.
The International Society has made
gallant efforts TO recognize this debt by
the young painters inviting the works
Of foreign artists TO London, as well as
in showing the particular kind OF work
by Engishmen which is never by any
chance allowed on the walls of BurIing-
ton House
From a brilliant artistic beginning the
International now commands the atten-
uon or society, therefore It brings a
double prestige TO bear on this eTb3bia

EngIand'S Greeting
To Royal Travellers
Home From India
Prince and Princess of Wales Added Inn
menSeIy to aShionable PhiIos-
opher'S View of American Women
By LADY HENRY SOMERSET.

LONDON, May 26.-The recent return
of the Prince and Princess OF Wales
from their seven months tour in India
gave Portsmouth and London the op-
portunity the country loves Of a right
royal welcoming home. A short time ago
there was hardly a royal prince or
princess left IN England. Now the home
coming Of King and Queen. prince and
princess brings the country to the hearth
again.
The prince adds luster to his reputa-
tion with every new Yoyage-he is a man
with some business to do in the world
and does It admirably. The princess has
enjoyed something more than q parade
OF India, az India on show for her bene-
fit She entered right into the Euro
pean life there. and made many more
friends among the Kings subjects than
IS possible IN England.
It must he as pleasant-and infinitely
more fun-fOr royalty TO unbend TO q
holiday as 1t IS to any OF the rest of US.
We expand under the delicious in
fiuences of new customs and sunlit
countries. therefore why not much more
a prince and princess?
They look very sunburned and holiday
turned. and London gave them as much
OF a welcome as could be thrown into a
drive 10 Marlborough House. The chill
dren chaperoned their parents-or at
least they had that pleasant appearance
OF looking after somebody.
1t was good reading TO hear OF how
they had climbed 10 the roof OF the ad-
miralty house at Portsmouth when they
were disappointed in meeting the Re-
noun because OF a heavy fog. and saw
for themselves the first lights OF the
homeward bound. Three figures dane
ing impauently on a jetty in the morn

pinnace appeared TO take them out.
