vet had it been refused space The auth
or would have swollen up. thrown out
his chest, and declared among his ilk
that the Professor" was afraid to pub
fish it. Hence to save himself from
such an indictment the Professor
put the effusion in type just as it frothed
from the brain of the author.
This ability to write and talk as Han
cock can and does is priceless boon,
and mortals not so richly endowed are
at disadvantage in taking up the
cudgel of contention with him. The
Professor must decline TO enter into
any controversy with him. as he would
make sorry spectacle pitted against
such subtle skill of oratory and refined
literary finish. With the utmost hui
initiation the professor" acknowl-
edges that he is out classed.
However the Professor" oEes Han
cock one debt of gratitude which he
can never repay. Hancock, with no
intention of doing kindness, as kind
ness is word not in his lexicon. gives
the professor bunch that the rev.
olution is at his door. As any revolu-
tion steered by men of Hancock's kid
nev is sure to come around in the dark
the Professor" will be careful to turn
the dog out o nights.
But enough of this. Too much space
has been given to matter of no in
terest 10 the general public. The in
cident is closed so far as this paper is
concerned. Mr.. Parks and Mr.. Han
cock have had their say. The PRO
lessor" has added few lines to the
gayety Of the occasion. There is moth
ing elevating nor interesting in such
an exchange of pleasantries. The col
umns of this paper are always open 10
any communication of reasonable
length on any subject of general in
terest, but the writer will be COM
PEELED TO confne himself TO decent Ian
guage, put together in something of
readable shape. or such communication
will not be published. There is
slight difference between rant and
reason, although there is very little of
the latter in the above from the head
line to the dash rule. and no more rant
goes. even if some frothy, blatant indi-
vidual may denounce the publishers as
natural towards for refusing to publish
his polished gems of thought.

For tub frocks that are to see hard wear
French pque is perhaps the most salts
factory thing. 1t keeps fresh longer than
most white stuffs, wears we'll, is COM
paratively warm and is we'll adapted to the
Russian lines which still prevail among the
everyday frocks of the very little girl.
Sometimes these pigue frocks are made
quite costly and elaborate, with hand en-
broidery or real lace of some heavy kind
such as Irish or cluny, but they still retain
their air of chic and childish simplicity.
Some new and attractive models made up
| in pique linen and wOolen stuffs have their
original note in the short sleeves, which
are cut In one with the body of the frock,
! the shoulder having no seam or slope.
| white emproidered linen model of this type
and a black and white check wool on the
| same lines have been sketched for this
page. The checked wool has its edges fin
| ished with buttonhoed scalloping In black
| Guimpes are, of course, to be worn with
! these frocks.
| OF waist and skirt models there are num-
berless examples, the waistband now being
set at the natural waist line or a very little
hit below. Dainty white frocks of fine
| lawn. swiss. batiste, etc, are always first
| choice for the little girls dress frocks and
may be made elaborate as one chooses
with fine hand embroideries of delicate de-
sign and the Iaces considered suitable for

/ Occasionally one finds an attractive little
dressy model in materials other than the
sheer lingerie. and though we personally
prefer to relegate these more pretentous
materials to girls trifle older, the making
can sometimes give very babyish air even
to silk. The best Of the silk stuff for wee
girls, If one is to use them at ALL are the
India or China silks and the crepe de
chines-both in white.
\ very dainty little model in crepe de
! chine made for a siX-year-old child is pic
tured here, and was really very childish
and pretty with its little frills of narrow
real valenciennes and it's tiny pink rose
buds about the pin-tucSed yoke. Another
drcssy little model was of fine white net,
with embroidered collar sleeve caps and
cuffs and a soft satin sash run through
inside eyelets at either side of clusters of
fine tucks running vertically down the
Russian one-piece frock.

Romance dies out in the world, it would
almost seem, with the advent of the profes-
sional bridesmaid, Whether for better or
worse, however, she has arrived, and a
bureau In London offers to supply her, or a
dozen of her, suitably attired, at an hours
notice, for the sum of 1 guinea. Runaway
couples might be expected to figure as the
bureaus chief patrons, but it is said that
the professional appears at formal weddings
also, and seems to fill a want as clearly
as does the paid guest who goes to dinners
and dances given by the new rich. It would
be interesting to know whether this type
of bridesmaid feels emotion or catches a
thril Of inspiration from the events in
which she officiste. II the thought Of the
guinea leaves in her mind 20 room for

This is a paper estimate. but the
only unsound spot in il is made by
the fact that eggs do not always bring
