James Bryce's Claims on America

Writing Of the new British Ambas-
sador 10 the United States, the Hon.
James Bryce, Mr.. Charles Johnston
makes the interesting observation in
Harper's Weekly that there is not a
section Of the American community on
whose welcome Mr.. Bryce has not some
special claim. There is the great bulk
Of the nation, to which Mr.. Bryce's
great reputation recommends him.
ITO the Irish Americans he comes as a
staunch Home Ruler, who never for a
moment wavered in his convictions.
To the German-Americans he may
proudly boast that be is an alumnus Of
Heidelberg, that he is lifelong stu
dent OF German literature and history,
that. in his first political campaign, he
had the honor. shared by few British
members OF Parliament, Of addressing
the German electors OF East London
in their own Teutpnic tongue. To the
French, he can point TO his splendid
study Of Charlemagne. in the Holy
Roman Empire, and say that few his
torians have done more ample justice
TO the great reviver Of the Roman EN-
pire. The Italians should welcome him
as great student Of Italy, from the
days of julius Cesar up TO the present
day, He may frnternize with the Swiss,

ground that, for years, he was one Of
the most intrepid climbers OF their
lovely mountains. and is former pres
ident OF the Alpine Club. The Hun
garisns will remember. with glow Of
satisfaction, that he has explored many
Of the remote corners of their own
beautiful kingdom. The Slavs know
Of him as traveller in Poland. The
Russians may recall, with admiring
envy. that he has the honor Of having
climbed Mount Ararat, alone and I'M
guided, while the dozen Cossacks and
kurds who made the start with him
were iolling, worn out, on the lower
slopes Of the mountain. To Scandina-

Novelties In these are continually max
ing their appearance, and new forms of
draping and. adjustment are introduced
with almost every new veil design. With
those smart little mushroom shapes which
fit closely over the modish coiffure, the
most fetching veil is similar TO that pic
tured, a diamond mesh net with floral
border executed In machine chain stitch
ings. The upper edge of the veil IL
pinned easily around the crown of the
hat and fastened In the back with a
fancy pin. From this point the ends of
the veil drape gracefully TO between the
shoulder blades, for its length Is from
one and one-half to two yards. Then 1t
Is held in place at the back of the head
with a long veil pin, which succeeds In
drawing 1t snug enough that 1t may not
be raised without removing the PIN 1t
should be noted that the pin Is placed
several inches lower than 1t was earlier

Ribbon Jumpers Worn With Lin
gerie B1ouses.
The vogue of the jumper knows no wane.
Designers continue to bring out new and
attractive variations Of the jumper dress,
and a goodly number of thea latest and
smartest accessories belong to the jumper
family. Separate Jumpers for summer
wear with the lingerie blouse are seen in
numerous designs and materials. The
lingerie jumper Is made of embroidery
and lace and intended to dress over
dainty, plain little blouse of fine lawn or
batiste. Then there is the tailored
Jumper, made of white or old bleach
linen and simply trimmed with machine
stitching, cotton braids or bit Of fine
embroidery edging. Still other and

The broader-width ribbons are used. and
one tone Of the plaid compliments the
color of the skirt which they accompany.
That of the picture Is made of navy
blue, green, red and white plaid tat
fetas. About three yards of ribbon Is re-
quired for such a jumper, with a couple
Of yards of velvet baby ribbon for the
little straps which join the suspenders in
front and back and the pointed shoulder
caps.
A Pretty Accessory for the Plain
Blouse.
The woman who possesses lace berthe
Is, indeed, fortunate, for with such an
accessory a number of charming effects
In dress are made possible. Plain blouses
Of fine and dainty wash fabrics intended
for morning use need but the addition of
one of these berthes to make them most
appropriate for afternoon wear. There
are various ways of adjusting the berthe
and one should study these carefully to
see which Is the most becoming. The
short-waisted woman should never wear
q berthe draped around the shoulders as
though outlining yoke, no more than her
slender, loDg-waisted sister should adopt
the Marie Antoinette ochu draping. One
attractive way to adjust this length of
lace Is to drape IL around the shoulders
in the back and close to the arms eye In
the front, thereby giving a bolero effect.
pinning 1t to the blouse at several points
with modest fancy pins or lacking it hero

The Disproportion of Fashionable Pro-
portions.

We are certainly top-heavy this season.
Few of us are born smart as the term Is
interpreted today. Some of us have
achieved smartness. But 1t is at the sac
rifice of every principle of proportion we
have had drummed Into our heads by
physical culturists and lecturers and
writer's on artistic dress for women. And
this Is how we have done the deed.
Firstly, only the slim form may enter
Into the ranks of the truly smart this sea-
son. Be svelt II you would be fashion
able. Every pound of flesh Is as ton
dragging down the aspirant to style dis
tinction this year. You would best be
tall also, although that Is not absolutely
imperative. However, 1t makes things
easier
These things granted wear for your
street suit a pleated skirt, very short,
and n hip-length coat that just suggests
following of the figure In the back.
The material of this suit may be brown
broadcloth, blue serge or any of the dark
invisible stripes. Let US repeat that the
skirt must be short, clearing at least four
inches and, possibly, Ave. Three four
inch tucks are spaced at intervals, the
highest set above the knee. The coat may
be double or single breasted and buttoned
through or on a fly. And topping the lit
tie coat is hat. Completing the brief
skirt are boots
The nat Is Dell shape or Cloche, as
the French term them. This Is a sort of
glorihed combination of the mushroom
and poke. 1t is set well back on the elab-
crate couture and in an effort to preserve
her balance the wearer carries her head
well forward, with the peculiar crane
like movement of the neck introduced by
Mrs. Patrick Campbell when she visited
these shores some years ago but until
now never generally adopted on this side.
The hat Is befeathered. To possess one
of the feathered hats of the season is to
mutely declare ones self n plutocrat.
Never before have there been such won
