FASHION NOTES.

The direetoire tie. made OF GRO
ehet lace. is a pretty finish to the
dressy blouse.
There is a rage now for cream white
suits, worn with hat and accessories
of nut brown.
Gray suede boots with pearl but
tons are attractively worn with gray
walking suits.
White ties with dark gowns are seen
in some costumes, but the idea is in
poor style
Kimono dresses for the little folk
are cool and simple enough to in
sure style and comfort.
1T is predicted that the pannier viii
have prominent place in evening
gowns.
The Russian cossack and the mill
tary effects bid fair to have a strong
vogue in millinery.
Hats persist in their biggest shapes.
and most Of the new models turn rak-
ishly at one side.
The polonaise is a growing fash
ion, and it is promised that good
many will be seen this season.
The foulard vogue is at its height,
and in its class this graceful fabric
is absolutely unrivaled.
A subtle suggestion of color is con-
sidered more fashionable than the
more definite and vivid hues.
White cream and ecru net bIouses
are not difficult to dye, and it may
be successfully done at home.
Dresses of all-over embroidery and
lace have made quite a hit and are
likely to last for some time.
New neck chains are made with
pendants of gold peacocks. the tails
of which are set with various stones.
A good many gowns of princess
build are being trimmed to simulate
two-piece garments gowns and coats.
Hat briFns seem to get lower and
lower. Unless they cover almost the
entire head they are not modish.
Buttons covered with the material
of the gown on which they are en-
ployed are the latest development.
There is a fad for parasol handles
carved in the shapes of birds, parrots
seeming to be the most popular

SCHOOL ON THE ROOF.

Miss Elizabeth McGillivary is the
only teacher in New York who has
her schoolroom on the roof of hos
pital. Also she is the first teacher
ever appointed to take charge OF
class which is under medical care.
Miss McGuliVary was appointed
from the ranks of the public school
teachers to teach the children who
are suffering from tuberculosis and
are quartered on the roof of the
Vanderbilt Clinic in the Red Cross
ccnsumptiye camp whiuh was opened
last December. There are at pres
ent about twenty pupils enrolled, and
the course of study will be made
to conform as nearly as possible to
that in the public schools.
When a child who is suffering with
tuberculosis has to leave school to
enter the camp he will take up his
studies directly where he left off in
the schoolropm. In this way children
will be able if benefited by the treat
ment of the camp to resume their
places in school without loss of time.

number of sections, say twelve, and
each piece is absolutely Independent
of the others. Each section has its
own valve and is inflated separately,
and when all are blown up they hold
together as firmly as if they were
one solid piece of rubber. The ad-
vantage of this invention is readily
apparent. When one of these sec
tions is punctured or otherwise dam
aged it can be taken out and repaired.
If it is so badly damaged as to be use
less it can be thrown away and an
other section, of which several extra
ones are carried, put in its place.
This sectional tire is not only easy to
fix, but is cheaper than the old style,
inasmuch as irreparable damage to
one spot does not make the whole
worthless but that weakness can be
repaired in a few minutes and with
little cost.-Ph Philadelphia Record.

TAFT At THE Bic MEETING
President Puts Plain Facts Be
fore the Delegates.
SQUARELY FAVORS A BOND ISSUE
Points out That no Program Has
Been Made in River Navigation
in 45 Years. Congress
Should Act.

New Orleans.-With President
Taft declaring himself sQuarely in
favor Of bond issue for the deve-
iopment of the 'country's inland wa
terways and the governors of twenty
one states voicing assurances Of
their hearty sympathy with the
movement for such improvement,
the Lakes-to-the-Gulf Deep Water
ways convention was characterized
by much enthusiasm. 1t was after
nightfall when the last of the gov
ernors had been heard and the con-
vention hall was emptied OF the hum
dreds of delegates.
President KaYanaugh presented
him with handsome gold badge and
then introduced Gov. Sanders Of
Louisiana who in turn introduced the
president. The applause broke out
and was reinforced with some Yigor-
Gus Yale yells. When it died away,
President Taft commenced his ad-
dress.
The President began by having a
little fun regarding the trip down
the river He said the dangers great
had all been run and that the fleet
had come through without the loss
of a single man. Mr.. Taft taunted
the congressman and governors for
having resorted to the humiliating
device of land transportation at one
stage of the journey. He paid
tribute to the city of New Orleans
and the hospitality of her people, and
then turned to a serious discussion
of the Mississippi, saying he hoped
lie present voyage and convention
would mark an epoch in the improve
ment of the waterway. The presi-
dent declared that no progress had
been made in river navigation in
this country in the last 40 or As
years. The waterways of the coun-
try, he declared, must be used even
tually to carry the bulk of heavy mer-
chandise.
The presidents declaration that he
favored the issuance of bonds for
carrying out the Ohio river improve
ment as one Of the approval pro-
jects of inland waterways called out
a burst of applause. The Ohio Riv-
er improvement will cost s63,000,-
600. Mr. Taft said that he also favor
ed bonds as feasible project can be
decided upon and can be shown to
be necessary and justificable. The
Ohio river gives the bulk of business
to the Mississippi and the president
declared every improvement Of
tributary tended to increase the
value of the great water highway to
the Gulf
The president told of the i'm
provements to the Mississippi on the
way down, especially in protecting
the banks from a further sloughing
off at the outside of the bends. The
engineers say they need $2,0O0,00U
more a year to carry on this benef-
cial work as it ought to be done and
that it was a shame congress did not
give it to them
In conclusion, President Taft de-
clared that the time for oratory was
past and that it was now time to
get down to brass tacks. He said:
1T is now up to you gentlemen
to decide what you want, what it
will cost, how long it will take and
what the result will be. Once that
is done, you can command not ask"

CHINA COTTON MARKET.
Japanese Driving Ont the American
Goods.

New York.-An entirely new ex-
PLANTATION of the stagnation in the
China cotton goods market has
reached the dry goods district. While
admitting that large stocks held by
Chinese Importers were responsible
to some extent for the small amount
Of business during the present year,
find that the cheaper Japanese IA
brics have in many instances ousted
the American makes. A few years
ago the annual sales of cotton goods
to China amounted to S25, 900.
The first eight months of this year
show sales to the amount of S8,000,-
900. The Southern mills have been
the principal producers for the ORR
entail market.

CRISIS POSTPONED.

Hesingfors, Finland.-Acompro-
mise has been reached through
which the Finnish Senators will re-
tain their posts in the Senate foS the
present, along with the new ap-
pointees of the governor general.
This arrangement has at least post
poned the crisis, growing out of the
refusal of the Senators to remain in
office if the Russian demand for a
big military appropriation by FIN
land were pressed.

Daughter Involved.

Moundsville, w. va.-The jury in
the case of John Sickles, aged sixty
seven years, a wealthy farmer, charg-
ed with the murder of his nephew,
Randolph Ritchea, returned a ver-
dict of not guilty after celebrating
thirty-one minutes.
When Judge Harvey told him he
was free, Sickles burst into tears and
sobbed: God has been so good to
me-"
On Aug. 25 last, Sickles returned
to his home following a short abb
sence and heard his daughter, Mat
tie, fifteen years old, screaming for
help. He rushed to her room and
found Ritchea there. AS the young
man was leaving the house a mo-
mont later SicEles shot him.

BLOUSES BEAR SUFFRAGE STAMP
This is a season for startling dress,
even if the dowageTs turn their broad
backs on the directory gown and their
daughters and nieces, crossing throats
solemnly, aver they'd rather die than
wear such things. Word comes from
London that even the suffragettes are
showing proper weakness for dress.
Indeed. new fashions have been Gre
ated on their account This should
make the ranks of the suffragettes
grow in number. An Oxford street
firm is showing what looks at first
like an ordinary lace blouse. Closer
inspection reveals that woven all
around the yoke in small letters is
the device, Votes for Women" The
manager of the store says they are
selling the novelty in great numbers.
That is new way to advertise the
movement. Think of the jar to the
ne--ves of an anti-suffragist who at a
tea party, in bowling to an introduc-
tion to a pretty girl, suddenly realizes
he has nearly driven his nose down
on one of those hated badges.-New

ETIQUErTE FoR THE vIsIToR.

ETIQUETTE FOR THE VISITOR.
1t is difficult to lay down hard and
fast rules for the stranger who Wis
its in another's home. Customs differ
not only in different social sets, but
even in various families in the same
circle.
The matter of tipping, for instance,
is a troublesome problem for girl
or woman. Shall I tip? Whom shall
| tip? How much shall l give? She
does not know and has no one from
whom she can seek information with
out embarrassment
Tipping is much more customary
in this country than it was few
years ago, and as a rule it is safe
to give a moderate fee to any SER
wants with whom you have come in
contact.
In the average country house this
will mean the waitress, the upstairs
girl who attends to your room and
who may have done you small favors,
such as buttoning your frock, and the
coachman who drives you to and from
the station.
1t is not necessary to go around to
every servant on the place when
many are kept. Some hosts object
strenuously to feeling and forbid their
servants to accept it. This position,
if known, must be respected. Cen
orally your hostess viii let you know
in quiet way how she feels on the
subject.
How much to give depends upon
how much one can afford 1t is fool
ish from false pride to cripple one
self by gifts or stay at home from
a visit because you cannot afford to
tip. Both maids and hostess usually
know your financial status, and the
latter would only be worried by ex-
travagant tipping.
If you have made demands upon
the time of a maid, such as asking
her to press dress for you, she
should be quietly given something for
her trouble at the time. You would
have to pay an outsider for such
work, and have no right to expect it
as a favor.
If at all possible do not get into
the way of expecting your friends
maids to do such things for you. Hunt
a laundress, or. if you can do your
own pressing, ask your hostess when
it will be convenient for you to go
into the laundry to do little fresh
ening UP to your clothes. If she in
sists upon having it done for you, &C
cept, as she may prefer it to your
presence in her kitchen.
Make it rule, whenever possible,
to pay for your baggage on the train.
This saves embarrassment later. In
the country where you must be met
it is out of the question, but try to
be present to fee the men who carry
your trunk to your room.
Never fee ostentatiously. It is
the height of bad taste. Also do
not get into the habit of letting your
hosts pay your way as a right
There are many excursions where
the hosts assume all obligations;
these must not be questioned, but ac-
cepted gracefully. If you propose lit
tie trips or if you pay long visit,
insist upon paying your share of car
fare and other expenses.
The money side Of visiting requires
delicate handling. You do not wish
to be a 'sbeat" or sponge;
on the other hand. nothing is
worse taste than over-independence
or pickering acceptance of the gra-
cious hospitality that would assume
all financial responsibility for a
guest.-Anne Rittenhouse, in the Phil
adelphia Ledger.
