PANTALOON GOWNS THE RAGE
New Thriller in Feminine Wearing
Apparel Appears.

New York.-"Pantaloon gowns" will be
seen in Fifth avenue and Broadway not
later than the first week in June and the
new thriller in feminine wearing apparel
sets the directoire gown upon pedestal
of modesty.
1t has the directorire back, long eff
feet, Louis the Fourteenth and bolero
shape. Seven yards of cloth compose
the whole dress.
But that is not the point. When the
wearer stands still it resembles an ordi-
nary pretty costume. The moment she
moves it is quite different. What has
seemed skirt parts just above the knees
and regular trousers come into view.
Trousers-just trousers. They make no
pretense of being anything else.

Does the World Think

Man is evidently made for thought;
this is his whole dignity and his whole
merit; his whole duty is to think as
he ought. Now the order of thought
is to begin with self, and with it's au-
thor and its end. Now of what thinks
the world? Never of these things, but

How culpably ignorant of the early
history of our country the children are
being kept is freshly illustrated by
some examination papers filed at a re-

was stated that Gen. Grant and Ad-

British army AID navy during the rev.
olution. Apparently good work will
be found for every post in detailing

Little Tuberculosis Amono Jews

DR.. Maurice Fishberg is authority
for the statement that the number of
deaths from tuberculosis among the
Jews is one-third that observed among
the non-Jewish population around
them and living in the same urban en-
vironment Dr. Fshberg attributes
this remarkable vitality of the Jews,
and their immunity to sickness in gen.
eral, to the fact that they have been
for over 1000 years dwelling in the
city and are thus able to withstand
more than their neighbors.

the Territory has had many problems
to contend with, and the fact that
they have been worked out as they
have is largely due to the fact that
for so years the people of Hawaii
have been fitting themselves for
American citizenship. So when an
nexation came the Hawaiians were
fairly well fitted for American citi-
Zenship. This is demonstrated, he
said, by the fact that the Legislature,
composed almost entirely of Hawaii
ans, compares favorably with the Leg
islatures of other States and Terri
tories. Mr.. Fairchild said the Terri
