born at Romeo in 1871. He was edu-
Gated at Oberlin and Cornell. and
early began his pleasant profession of
holding public position by becoming
legislative Librarian in the New York

the Leland Stanford university, but
left that institution after a couple of
years to become secretary of the
United States industrial commission.
In 1902 Mr.. Durand was for a few
months an instructor in economies at
Harvard. Then he went back as spe.

shifted gracefully over to the bureau

four years special examiner, and
since 1907 he has been deputy com

NEGllGEES OF WHITE SWISS.
Wash Fabric Deservedly Popular for
Its Many Uses and Good
Appearance.

Even the most fashionable dress
makers lend their talents to the ma
king OF most attractive negligees of
white swiss, lace and ribbon. This
wash fabric has come into more favor
fG the kind of garment one wears in
ones own room or for breakfast and
luncheon with the family alone. The
swiss is fine and has a small dot, and
the negligee is usually made in two
pieces, put together on one belt,
which is covered by broad sash of
cslored satin.
This is often high-waisted at back
and is finished at the left with a
large rosette and two long ends.
The neck is open, in V-shape, and
finished with deep lace ruffies and a
bow OF satin at the back.
The tight elbow sleeves are finished
with deep lace ruffies and a bow of
satin at the back.
Such negligees are cooler and fresh
er than those of silk or other mate
r1als that do not wash.
