FROM WOMAN'S

A small boy with a pair OF skates slung

heard the conversation and knew some
thing of the conditions Of the pond. HE
Is already DESTROYS Of limiting the privi-
leges OF others-he wants the pond TO

greater part of the time. and makes
things lively when he Is baked The
pond In question IS very large. and there
was no hint OF crowding on the part OF
the eare-free skaters. Evidentlr some
thing went wrong with the child and the
place suddenly became unbearable II

temper was rubbed the wrong way.

PARIS APPROPRIATIONS SHOWN
Models in Exclusive Designs at
Woodward & LOthrOp's.
Yesterday Marked Spring Opening
I'm the Suits Department OF This
Progressive Firm.

Yesterday marked the spring opening
| for Woodward & LOthrop's department
for Paris importations in morning. after
noon, and evening gowns and wraps
Models I'm the most exclusive ana be-
witching designs by such wel-known
Costumers as Worth Bishoff David. Pa
duin. and Doucet are shown. and the new
shades and textures are exhibited 10 the
best advantages
OF the new eolo-s, old gold Is rich
shade OF FURNISHED yellow which is
among the newest tones. and other shades
OF the same color are maize. which IS
hardly more than a deep cream tint.
while ripe wheat IS a shade deeper.
Pepernelle is q new name for the water
melon green. Lotus green is another tone
Of the same shade. and ashes OF hello
trope is a soft shade Of purple
Mosquitaire, the most popular color Of
the season, IS a shade Of blue which IS
a successor to Alice blue. and Rassul IS
the new brown, which is a blending or
the rich tones Of bamboo wood. and is
the shade most affected for travelling and
dust coats.
In style there seems to be a great
tendency TO return to the princess. The
Grecian princess is more graceful than
the empire models. and falls in softer
lines than the severe princess gowns OF
two seasons ago. pretty gown OF
maize liberty satin was one OF Davids
most attractive models.
japanese embroidery in gold formed the
bands of the bodice outline. giving
broad effect over the shoulders. and under
the sleeves We're the same shade Of gauze
Tiny gold buttons and gold pendants I'M
nished the bodice at the raised waist line
From Worth there was striking model
in old gold. the whole gown apparently.
draped from piece Of goods which had
not been cut This showed the new
draped skirt over which Paris is raving.
a little shirring alone outlining the waist
line. band OF hand-dved ANTIQUE lace
laid on gold cloth encirCled the bodice and
sleeves, and a tiny vest Of Irish crochet
and a pompadour velet button completed
the striking simplicity Of the gown.
DoUcets model was an afternoon gown
of mOusquitaire blue. which also showed
the draped skirt in a little different style.
and trimmed bodice, in lace and touches
of gold. which was worn with an under
waist and short sleeve Of white lace
Panquin. also. showed a model mOusqui-
taire blue. which was made with hand
braided panel extending from the Shout
der 10 the hem Of the gown. The skirts
of all the newest styles Of the season are
exceedingly skinny and long. Artificial
means are frequently employed to pro-
duce the clinging effect at the bottom.

A smart little coat for wearing when
ever lightweight outdoor garment is
needed Is always an acceptable addition
TO the feminine wardrobe. and the design
illustrated is especially desirable because
Of lis simple but effective modelling. which
is we'll within the scope OF the home
dressmaker- The coat which is modelled
in one Of the new striped broadcloths. is
semi-itting. and owes its Jauntiness main
ly TO its excellent shaping. which is ex-
pressly intended to emphasize the best
lines Of the figure. 1t is an especially
good model for the slender type Of wom-
an, to whom neither a tight-ftting Jacket
nor a loose wrap is wholly becoming. 1t
is finished in tailored style. with stitched
seams and a mannish collar and sleeve
all Of which are in close accord with the
latest approved designs. The medium
size requires 21-4 yards of 54-inch cloth
to make. Six sizes. % TO a inches bust

were just SO many more criminals TO en-

Congress OF Mothers is inqulring into the
causes OF all these things. asking the why
and the wherefore Of truancy. delin-

They are advocating the placing Of these
little fellows in homes. or Of letting them

PENSIONES A LOS VIEJOS

Estamos en- vfsperas de que So
plantee en- Inglaterra una de las mas
importantes reformaS socialeS; Ia de
las pensiones los viejos. Claro esta
que en- las carreras del Estado hay
tambien en- Inglaterra pensiones para
los viejos, 10 mismo que en- EspafIa, y
es justo que las haya.
PerO ahOra no sc trata de ESQ., no Sc
xrata de conceder pensiones 4 los que
durante ST. edad madura han venido
cobrando sueldos del Estado, sino de
cOncederlas a los que no han cobrado
Sueldos, 4 los que con su trabajo y sus
-t-ibutos han venido sosteniendo el
sEStado, y Sc encuentran al llegar a
vlejoS sin recursoS para vivir.
FL ministro de Hacienda, Mr.. As
quith, ha anunciado va su proposito de
presentar en- la prox lima aperture de
Cortes IN proyecto de pens tones los
vleios. Las llneas generates de sn
proyecto no Sc conocen atm. Sc cree
que la idea de Mr.. .Asquith consiste en-
pensionar los ancianos de mas de
,Setenta aflos de edad con cinco cheli-
mes semanales, unos 6.25 frances,
Siempre que carezcan de otros re-
CurSos de vida, hayan Observable bue-
ma conducta no vivian de la carload
pdblica. Y parece que Ia idea de Mr.
Asquith constara al tesoro de In2la-
terra una suma anual que no pOdra
bajar de diez millones de libras.
%Ya tenemos, por tanto, en- Was de
1mplantarse Sc practicamente una de las
ideas que parecfan mas utopicas hace
pocos af1os. .aunque sc pract1ca va hace
afioS en- Dinamarca, donde no ha sido
perjudicial al fomento del ahorro po-
pular como Green los hombres p1blicoS
que a1n ajusran sus ideas al ANTIGUA
rio libro de Herbert Spencer "El indi-
aviduo contra el EStado.'
Excusado es decir que no sc habla
en- Inglaterra de otra cosa que de este
proyeCto, que cuenta con muchos enc
migos, y que unos le com mbaten por
insuhciente y otros por excessive.
Pero en- realidad estoS ataqueS son
prematuros. Sc hacen .calculos que
Ell coste de las pensiones de cinco
Chelines Semanales a los viejos, va
ria seg1n la siguiente escala: ST Sc
. concede a los &c mas de 65 af1os, CO.'S
tara unos 10 millones dc libras anua-
les; 81 a los de mas de IS amos, unos
tres millones.
Sc afiade que dentro de catorce
af1os ell coste de esas pensiones sera
de IL, 6 y medic y 3 y medic milo
mes espectlvamente.
Tambien sc calcula que Ell nt1mero
de viejos de mas de 65 aflos era en-
Inglatera en- 1907 de 2.II6.267 perso.
mas. Y que de ellos hay que d. scon
tar 74I. ooS por gozar de ingresos su-
periores a. 10 chimes semanales;
5Is,6o4 por recibir sosorros pdblicos;
3o,o43 por ser extranjeros, crimina-
les y locos,y 72.7oS por haber sido
demasiado pr6digos. Elresultado es
que el n1mero dc posibles pensionis-
,tas es go .456.
Pero a1n no.ha llegado el momen-
10 de examinar el plan dc Mr.. Aquith,
por la raz6n sencil)a dc que no 10 ha
formulado todavia Y, sin embargo,
Sc trata de reforma tan impoTtante y
ssugestiva, que desde ahora puede

chas columnas anunci iarla y estudisr
