A Black Gauge Rose.

Those returning from Europe are wearing on their frocks the little touch of black which is always so chick, in the form of a gauge rose made of fine black silk gauge, studded In the cen ter with colored stones. Paris is quite distracted over this fad, and it gives to the corsage a smartness which is quite attractive
 The stones in the center are usually chosen to match the gown-topaz turquoise, rhinestone or coral.

The truest Japanese note that has been sounded by an American writer has come from the pen ob an Alabama writer Mary Fenellosa of Mobile, who over the pen name of Sydney Mccall has written much that is distinctive; much indeed that Is brilliant.
 Living in Japan long enough to be true in her strong local coloring she writes with the strength of the born colorist, tempered by her ideals of art.
 I have often been told that much of the Japanese literature has been very poorly written by Americans, that in- deed some of the books on Japan were written by Americans who had never seen Japan. And after digesting that sweeping statement, I have turned to Iafcodo Hearn and blessed the day that put some of his Japanese books in my hand. But after all, he was not an American. only as far as he once lived in New Orleans. But it cannot be said that Mrs. Fennellosa does not know her Japan.
 Among the most delightful and Japan- esy things that Mrs. Fennellosa has
 
 romance of the new Japan.
 AS all students of Japan know, deli cate fancy hangs about these particular white blossoms. About country villa Gin the story) they grow in its beauti- full gardens and it was the current be- lief that they could not flourish except ,n this one spot and under the care of a blood descendant of the Goji clan.
 So intimate, indeed, was the family re- lationship to the blossoms that (says the author) A daughter of the house had al- ways horne the name "Ayarne," trans mitting in human form the beauty and delicacy of floral sisterhaad.
 ..When I say that Mrs. Fenneiiosa writes of the new Japan, perhaps should say that she has drawn the era following ths demolition of what she calls the exotic dynasty, when the revolution came as an unheralded lightning stroke of ruin. when men of wealth fought biindlv. only to see their homes laid waste and incomes gone.
 Pictured also is the other class, the laborers and artisans of Japan, to which the political turmoil brought great op- nort,lnity. It is the old conflict between patricians and plebian, but the phantom barriers of caste, of prejudice, crumpie before the fringe of bamboo penlno which young Japanese girl looks into the eyes of her lover.
 Mrs. Fenneossa's description of the white iris is perfect: Like little band of cirrus clouds they rose, the three cen tral petals of each flower curved into diaphanous balloon-a tissue bubble blown full of aphorescent moonlight. The three lower petals curved outward and then down. These were tipped and veined with a pale green ichor, and along the center of each petal was luminous yellow mark like, the stroke of a finger dipped Into the bowl of the sum-

GENERAL NEWS GATHERED
ALONG THE RIVER FRONT

The work on the new dock of the Nor
folk and Washington Steamboat Com
pany, foot of 18th street. is progressing
rapidly, and in few days dredging
machine will be put to work deepening
the water in the dock to the depth re-
quired for the new steamer Southland.
The addition is being constructed in d
sort of wedge shape to accommodate the
bow of the new steamer. and the bottom
timbers for the bulkhead and sheet piling
that will be used in the construction of
the dock are now being placed in posi-
ton. The enlarging of the dock has been
made necessary in order to afford berth
large enough for the new steamer. which
will come TO this city early in the COM
ing year. The Southland is more than
300 feet long and is the largest steamer
ever owned at this city. The addition to
the dock is about forty or fifty feet in
length. This will enable the Southland
to lay in the berth with only a small por-
ton of the stern projecting beyond the
outer end of the long pier of the Norfolk
and Washington company. The dock will
be completed and ready for use by the
steamer several weeks before the vessel
arrives here from the Newport News
shipyard.
