INTELLIGENCE IN DRESS.

At recent event which proved to be one or
the great fashion gatherings Of the year there
was little in the costumes to satisfy the seeker
for beauty, although they exhibited modern
taste and modern invention In all their variety
and extravagance. In many cases the loveeSt
of features and the most dazzling or complex

Under ordinary circumstances the
ships of the largest and most care
fully managed lines are painted at
the end of every voyage. Every lime
a Cunarder, for instance, arrives in
port she is repainted. This is no
light task, for every inch of the yes
sells outside area above the water
line-sides, deck works and tunnels
from stem to stern is carefully
gone over by an army of painters.
The area thus covered is about two
and a half acres.
Curiously enough, the tunnels are
regarded as the most important item
of the whole undertaking, as these
great pipes are susceptible to injury
and must be carefully handled On
no account is any hammering or
pounding allowed, and the men work
from stagings suspended from a rail
on the top Of the mouth of the huge
funnel. The old paint and dirt are
carefully scraped and scaled off be-
fore the actual painting begins.
There are now 100 large passen-
ger ships constantly crossing the At
lantic. Assuming that the average
area of each ship is two and a quar-
ter acres, and that each vessel is
painted, say, ten times in one season,
we have an area to be covered with
paint Of 1900 acres every year. Such
a job, requiring the services of nearly
a hundred men working steadily,
would cost about $4,000. Although
this seems an immense sum to spend
upon paint alone, it is essential to
keep the vessels in spick-and-span
condition -Tit-Bits.

SIZE OF BOOTS.

To suppose that the size of one
boots and gloves must be matter of
interest to all ones acquaintances
has always been regarded as a fem
mime weakness, but it has, moreover,
been believed that the weaknesses of
women are the same in all genera
tions. Albiet, the form in which the
particular weakness under discussion
manifests itself to-day undoubtedly
differs widely from that in which it
appeared not many years ago. 1t is
now the woman with the exceptional
ly small hands and feet who is most
reticent on the subject, and it appears
that such a possession will soon cease
to be a glory to womankind. Only
the other day one of the most ad-
mired younger women in society was
heard to exclaim with delight that
she took such a large size in boots
that she always had to have them
specially made for her. as her boot
seller did not stock them. The es-
TEEN in which a large hand or foot
is row neld or course means that
there is an increase in height among
women. Some old-fashioned people
view this condition of affairs with
alarm, and think the fact that the
modern girl refuses to stop growing
before her head rises we'll above her
mothers portends evil to the race.
The impression received of life as a
whole must be very different when
one is compelled to look down on the
majority of ones fellow mortals in
stead Of looking up to them In the
humble fashion which distinguished
the little woman Of earlier times,
and thi-, the anxious ones believe,
canIot fail to have q serious effect

A VOICE OF PROTEST.

Maker of Sunday Supplements Does
Not Let Them Come in His House.
Some Of us do not read the Sunday
papers at all; some of US do not
think it right, still more do not think
it wise. But in this day venture to
say that every one of us has at least
seen a Sunday supplement Many of
us have seen our own children, or
our neighbours children, porting over
the atrocious daubs representing still
more atrocious pursuits of the elu-
sive joke. We all know the harm
they do.
/ asked an artist whose name is a
houshold word in at least half mill
lion homes why he made such awful
pictures for the colored supplements.
His answer was short;
Because the people like them"
In the next sentence he confessed
that he did not allow his two boys to
see his own pictures. In fact, he
never let the Sunday supplements
come into his house Unconsciously
he was placing himself in the same
class with the saloon keeper who
does not drink and the gambling
house keeper who never touches
cards.
The artist himself doesn't like the
pictures; you don't like them, l don't
like them. Take a canvass in your
neighborhood, and you will find that
your neighbors don't like them.
Who are 1.-THE people, anyhow?
In this instance unframed children
are responsible for the demand. OF
course your baby likes them. Doesn't
he like red scarfs for the masculine
neck, and wouldn't he scream for JOY
if his father donned pink trousers?
Isn't he fond Of runaway horses and
fast moving trains-of action wher-
ever he can find or make it? That's
why he likes the pictures in the Sum
day paper-they have color and ac-
ton in abundance. In the same way
he has enjoyed the pleasing stanzas
of Mother Goose, and their marginal
illustrations. The essential qualities
are there and the vulgarities are
spared.
There is a demand, a real demand,
for pictures Of consecutive action
clearly drawn and without the ac-
companying incidents of pouring red
ink down a speaking tube of saving
the legs off the dining-room table.
Well, the remedy is in your own
hands. We have only to quote one
of the cardinal prescriptions of mod
ern life:
when you don't like a thing, say
so.
In this case SAY so" to the editor
of your paper; write it to him, get
your neighbor to write him, too.
Build up an endless chain of criti-
cism and protest if you will, and see
how soon the Objectionable pictures
will be dropped.
If we cannot be funny without set
ting bad example to our children,
let us even be serious. - Womans
Home Companion.

QUEEN ADOPTS HUGE HAT.

Even though the huge hats under
which fashionable women in London
have extinguished themselves this
season are said to cause wrinkles,
double chins and bent necks, there's
no chance of them going out of fash
ion now. Beauty doctors may scold,
but word comes that Queen Alexan-
dra has worn one of the hats, and it
would be high treason to decry the
fashion now. A portrait in red chalk
of the Queen, made by clever wom-
an artist, shows the sitter's face
framed in a huge hat laden with
trailing plumes. The hat proved so
becoming that Alexandra since has
been seen in a Gainsborough. That
was a triumph for the big hat, for
dressmakers construct nearly the
same style of dress for her year in
and year out, and it was not until re-
Gently that she abandoned the toQue.
