Smart Novelty Material 10 Known as
6eneaIinette.

Great appreciation is being shown
this spring for novelty material
known as bengallnette, new edition
OF Bengaline-in other words, silk
fabric with ribbed surface. The
marquisette has been la mode two
years and continues in popularity. But
courtiers are on the lookout for ma
terial trife sitter than these chiffon
goods and bengalinette meets the re-
quirements
The new fabric is in evidence In all
colors, but 1t is particularly seductive
in pale green and old pink. Green was
big factor in the COS of the last cen.
tury and the second empire modes
now being revived are an example OF
how much in vogue all styles Of the
last so years are and will be. The
empire as brought forth year and
half ago is seen no more except foI
evening wear in light transparent
goods, and the drapery is particularly
adaptable to that class of goods.
There is quite a change in the quail
ity of goods used this spring from that
in vogue for a very long time past.
Now the makers and drapers are show
ing goods that have decided body to
them. In other words. the chiffon no.
character stuffs are passe.
The Handwriting on the wall points
to less coquettish modes, for certainly
stiff materials will not take all the
fullness in drapery and elaboration In
handiwork that frocks have received
the past years

IN LOVELY PHOENIX PARK.
The Scene Of the Murders Is Remem-
bered--Though Not Kept Green.

OF all the pleasure grounds we saw
abroad | liked Phoenix Park in Dub

Guidon. 1t covers nearly 1000 acres,
and the seven mile drive around it is
delightful.
Acres Of It are let to citizens for
pasturage and herds Of fat kline lazily

found in any other resort.
On one plat when we were there a
detail Of his majesty's red coats were
pracricing target shooting. Yonder
came three dragons back from a
cross-country run. The vice-regal
lodge. plain and white, looked, in spite
of the vastness of the green grounds
about it. hot and uninviting in the
glare OF the August sun.
In sight OF the house, but long
way from it, is the spot where Cav
endish and Burke were murdered
some years ago In vain do the gar
deners try to keep grass above it. AS

so tame that they frequently came
close to our car. One big stretch OF
rolling land was crossed and recrossed
with what looked in the distance Ike
ditches. They are troughs, our driver
told us. into which at morning and
night water is pumped for the deer,
which come there by the hundred to
drink.

PURIFIED LIFE INSURANCE.
Benefits from New Law, Which Re.
mains Substantially Unchanged.

Through the influence Of Gos
Hughes, the New York Legislature de
cided to make no radical changes in
the new insurance law. 1t was pointes
out by Gov. Hughes that the New York
law has already accomplished wide
spread reforms, with proportIonate
benefits to policyholders, and that it
should be given a thorough trial be-
fore any amendments were seriously
considered. 1t is estimated that the
cost Of the mismanagement Of the past
did not average more than 20 cents to
each policyholder, while the benefits
to present and future policyholders
will amount to many times more and
be cumulative besides. The speed
craze Of the big companies and the ex-
cessiye cost of securing new business
was the most extrayagant evil of the
old managements. Under the new
regime the cost of new business has
already been greatly reduced, along
with other economies.
The showing made by the Equitable
Life Assurance Society in it's report
for 1906 was a strong argument
against meddling with the new law.
IN the Equitable alone there was
saving Of over s2900.OO0 in expenses,
besides an increase in the income
from the Society's assets amounting
to as much mere. The ratios of the
Eouitable's total expenses to its total
income was 19.4295 in 1904, 1880 in
1905. and only 14.4Seo in 1906. The
dividends paid to Equitable policy
holders in 1906 amounted to s7,2S9, 7S4.
which was an increase of more thar
go over 1905.
While the Equitable made better
showing than any other big company,
all reported radical economies and I'M
der such conditions the Legislature
wisely decided to leave the law sub
stantially as it stands.

An interesting occasion recently
was the observance In Paris OF the
twenty-nfth anniversary OF the OPEN
ing Of public schools for girls, which
were established in France through
the fundamentally Of the late Jules
Ferry. The schools supplement the
system Instituted for the benefit Of
boys. and the facts brought out during
the exercises Of Friday show how
wisely the statesmen Of the early days
Of the present French republic laid
their plans. Putting girls IN the way
of attaining an education has led TO
gratifying results, says Troy Times.
not the least Of which is the training
of a steadily increasing corps Of eff
cient women teachers. who are doing
great work In promoting general in
telligence and selfhelpfulness, espe-
cially among those Of their own sex
In this work the government has had
the valuable cooperation Of a number
Of high-minded and cultivated women
of prominence who have unselfishly
devoted thenisslves to promoting the
welfare OF others In France as well
as elsewhere education has most ele-
waiting influence, and the public school
system Is powerful agency for good.
