 He is going to make a tour in Can ada. to study the conditions prevail ing in the most important of BritiaR's colonies, and probably he will not re- sist the temptation to see the United States. As he is unmarried he may possibly select wife from among the American girls he meets.

 The summer huff is a dainty affair made of ofrteatheEs, chiffon. flowers, CT tnlle, and it must form one of a set consisting of toqHe. ruffle and huff all matching. A pocket to hold purse and handkerchief makes the summer huff utility as well as an ornament
 One of the prettiest designs is the the flower petal set of toQue. huff and ruffle. These articles are cOm- posed of tulle, over which the petals of artificial flowers are scattered and caught by a single thread.

The unclad life for children. as rec commended by Professor Starr of Chi cago University is endorsed in Urin- ciple by eminent Englishmen, both from a hygienic and artistic point Of view. The fickleness of the English climate, however, is recognized as on insuperable obstacle to the practical adoption of the nudity theory.
 A welIknown physician who is an authority on the care of children, and whose opinion was asked on Profess os Starr's suggestion. said: Its the ideal plan; there is no doubt about that But I'm afraid it must remain ideal. In Africa or some other hot country, it could quickly be realized but our changeable climate bars the way in England, apart altogether from the question of convenience.
 The children would be exposed to serious afflictions before their bodies had time to become acclimatized to all the variations of temperature that we get here, following so closely on one anotheT's heels.''
 Walter Crane, the noted artist, who has studied children long and closely said of the anti-clothes idea: Tt is leading in the right direction entirely and the tendency in dress nowadays is more and more towards the end Many children today wear neither shoes nor stockings, but are shod sim ply with a sandal which allows the foot to develop naturally Clothing especially if it be tight, can only rc strain and cramp the growth of the body.
 If this plan of allowing children tC run bare in their early years. could be followed it would most assuredly lead to the rearing of healthier men and women"
