1t is devoutly TO be hoped that the death
knell of bird millinery has been sounded.
The queen of England and the women of
her household will no more wear birds
upon their hats. There are Indications that
many Americans who have both social
influence and unseared co~nsciences will
emphasize the loyalty TO beautiful birds,
which are beautiful in field and forest. but
are at best the ghost of beauty when
borne aloft like scalps of commercial con-
quest.
The fashion of fresh flowers and fruits
in summcr time would Indicate the taste
and skill of the home rather than the
purse of the father. Here is what one
young woman says she did last Summer
with a cheap rush hat. In the morning
she would garland it with pink and white
sweet peas for a sally down the street for
crrands. In the afternoon she would
change the shape and adorn it with q
spray of roses. She made a dainty boat
ing hat by wreathinG it in peoples and
corn, while at another time it was adorned
with a chain of buttertups and daisies.
She would sometimes hav it graced with
clusters of ripe cherries, crab apples or
blackberries. She was admired and envied
because her crown of beauty was not
a lnil!iner's exhibition. There are teach
ers who win the gratitude of the school
girls by showing them how 10 do such
tricks of simple beauty in odd hours out
of school. one Of the most popular insti-
tute women i have known created limit
less enthusiasm by staying with the wom-
en- teachers an hour after every session

To Revise Bridge Whist.

From The Minneapolis Sentinel.
The proposition going the rounds of the
English papers that the game of bridge
be modified by abolishing the exposed or
dummy hand in no trump declarations has
been under discussion recently in all the
clubs in New York In which bridge is tho
favorite game. The proposal is the most
important that has been made for an
alteration of rules, the playing of two
hands by the dealer being the chief vari-
alton of bridge from straight whist in re-
spect to the play eff the cards.
English critics of the game contend that
the exposure of the dealers partners
hand in no trump makes gives the dealer
an advantage he should not enjoy. While
either of the opposing partners, they con-
tend, must pace the cards in the others
hand by the fail of the cards as the play
progresses, the dealed can in advance de-
eide upon his course of play with such a
degree of certainty that no plays can alter
it materially. Adjudication of the game
by skill, they argue. is only possible when
all the hands are held up.
Generally the English proposition mee+s
opposition in this country.
"Adoption of the suggestion" said a
we'll know exponent of the game. "would
take away tine chief charm of bridge. The
dummy is one of the most distinguishing
features of the game, and according to
present rules there is no unfairness IN 1t.
''l1NerY dealer has the chance to PLAY a
no trump make With the dummy in turn.
and thus the element of fair play is prop
cily naintaired. Should q rule TO compel
no trump makes to he played without a
dummy be adopted, the zane in my opin-
would lose much of its zest.
"Ihe face is that the average bridge
player Is over timid about making this.
the most desirable of all the five declara-
ions. Those who deal are notably weak
kneed in this respect, for considerably
more than 90 per cent. of all hands will do
better on suit alone than with a single or
plain suit declaration. If YOU doubt this
sit down and deal say 2o hands. play each
a n~o-trumper and its truth will strike
you most forcibly.
IF this be SO, then there are lots of
spade and club declarations that would
WIN II put in the highest place. But to
help thus there must be the exposed hand
after the opening lead. should the dealer
be compelled to go chino there would
be still more caution m no trump makes"
While experienced players object to the
English proposal. there are many sug-
gestions for alterations of the rules. Ar
gument is especially keen over PROPOSALS
TO abolish the counting of honors.
Much more acceptable to most bridge
players is a proposal to reduce the value
trick counts in no trump makes from
twelve to ten. There is a lack of propor-
ton, 1t is felt, in the value of the different
declarations and the reduction In the nc
value would preserve the progress
SION OF two maintained in the plain suit
declarations.

 This costly protest seems a little bit exaggerated Of course Mr. RoebAng has made it understood that he is not in favor of prohibition, or of Ashevilie with prohibition. But there are few men who would think they could at- ford to show their disapproval in that half-million way.

A Christmas made merry by the joy of giving and receiving, by the glow of kindly feeling toward all and by d thorough and care-free enjoyment of the days festivities. And we wish them more than that We wish them such an appreciation of the spirit and meaning of the day that all the days of the com ing year and years will be Christmas days for them in thought and in deed Christmas comes but once a year, and it sometimes seems that the world is getting So busy and absorbed that by and by we may not have time" for even one Christmas. But when Christ mas comes it is found that there IS time for it. and everybody becomes as busy over Christmas as they have been over business and other things Which Is encouraging, and stimulating to hope. Think what world this would be if the Christmas spirit animated il every day in the year as thoroughly as it does the Christian part of it to-day Peace on earth, goodwill toward men The only way this condition can be

A NEW DECLARATION.

New Jersey has nor asked and does not want Federal aid in the building of her roads. This is the assertion made by, the Newark Star, which can probably. speak as intelligeptly and gu. thoritatively flor New Jersey as any, body New Jersey has already built about two thousand miles of improved roads and the good work is going rap idly and diligently on. So the plan for the Federal government to appropri- ate $lO,Ooo, GOO year for five succss- sive years for public highways in the States does not appeal to New Jersey as strongly as it does to some of the States. It seems to the New Jersey folks to offer premium for lack of enterprise and civic spirit, and to be unjust to States that have already ex- pended nlilliong for road improve ment An appropriation of $5O0oo,- 900, divided among forty-six States, would not go very far in road build- ing, and the expenditures once begun would have no limit All the money that the national treasury has to spare is needed for other important pur- poses
