BIG CELEBRATION PLANNED.
st. Johns College to Commemorate
125th Anniversary of Merger.

ANNAPOLIS. Md. February S.-An-
napolis is preparing for another historical
anniversary, the one hundred and twenty
fifth of the merger of Kink Williams
School into St Johns College. which will
take place during the commencement eX-
ercises in June next. Steps have already
been taken to secure the attendance of
large number of alumni, and 1t is intended
TO make the occasion a notable one.
The institution now known as st. John
College, at Annapolis, and which also
forms the academic department of the
University of Maryland, was founded as
King Williams School in 1850. and was
the first public free school in America.
AS such it is considered the forerunner
Of the public school syste moi the nation
In age it is excelled only by Harvard
and William and Mary among the col
leges of the country. Among its alumni
were Charles Carroll of Carrollton, Will
liam Pinckney. Chief Justice fancy and
Francis Scott Key. DR.. Thomas Fell has
heen president for about twenty years.
On Friday next the officials and public
of Annapolis will celebrate the Lincoln
anniversary in a unique manner. DR..
Gordon II. Claude. mayor of Annapolis, is
the moving spirit in the affair, and it is
nronosed to hold the exercises in the old
senate chamber of the statehouse- There
will be no set speeches, but voluntary
tributes will be made to the martyred
President.

Proper Etiquette for
Informal at Home

An at home" is merely formal an
nouncement on the part of hostess that
she will be in her home to receive friends
at the stated time. 1t is simple and
easy way of seeing ones acquaintance,
and, according as many or few are pres
ent, the hostess has little visits with
each guest. Naturally when there IS a
crush she has but small opportunity to
say more than good afternoon and good
bye but even in such a case the procedure
is the same.
Just as when making a formal call. one
would dress more deliberately than for an
informal one. so one is guided by the in
vitation. If it is engraved, the afternoon
becomes more of a reception. although
women Of society gown as deliberately for
an afternoon call as their wardrobes per-
nit.
1t is always safe to wear ones very
best frock. be it a gown or suit In the
latter case 1t is more formal to keep on
the jacket, merely loosening furs worn
about the neck. Gloves are never re-
moved. A calling dress is usually of u
very fine cloth or velvet.
A woman always leaves one of her
| cards for the hostess, and one for each
or every woman whose name may appear
upon the invitation. For instance if Mrs.
Smiths cards say, ITO meet Mrs. Brown
Mrs. Jones must leave a card for Mrs.
Smith and another for Mrs. Brown.
She must also leave three of ner hus-
bands unless the hostess is widow. His
cards are one each for the ladies. and
one for the hostess husband. Except
| under conditions that do not enter into a
tea, a woman never leaves her card for q
one less of hers than of her husband
The cards are left in the hall in a re-
| ceptacle that is always provided.

Fashions and FadS.

The vogue of the surplice waist shows
none of those signs that herald diminished
popularity
Small girls are adorable in the new
slengarry bonnet with plaid band, jaunty
rosette and quill.
Instead of being embroidered, the new
waists are stenciled in the most charming
designs and colorS.

square. with strap handles.
There is quite a fad now for wearing
the new hand-painted lace blouses with
dressy tailor-made suits.
Fewer transparent fabrics are In use
just now than before the very close,
sheath fitting skirt came into vogue
The heavy linen crepe Is coming to be

CORSETS GIVE SMART LOOK

AS every stout woman knows, the cloth

others. hence the advantage of the lac

Another style of corset that will appeal
to stout women is made from firm stock

1t is fact that sartorial success de-
ponds almost entirely upon the corset. IT
is not a question of figure. that is. nat
ural one for a clever cOrSetiere can so
conceal defects. whether they are those
of too much flesh or too little, that a
woman so made over scarcely recognizes
her own form i'm the glass, and. of course
observers cannot help being under the
impression that the stylish appearance is
due to a naturally good figure.
As in all other matters relating TO the
toilet. the stout woman has the largest
share of woes in selecting corset, though
the troubles are perhaps about equally
shared with the corsetiere.
With extremely few exceptions the aim
of the latter is to mold her patron into
stays that will produce the fashionable
figure of the moment, making comfort an
entirely secondary consideration. while
sometimes the fitted one dares to make a
protest in favor of a little comfort to
complete martyrdom and then the war
fare begins.
Usually the corsetiere triumphs and the
stout woman consents to suffer in return
for an agreeable reflection of herself.
There are, however. wonderland men, too
in the profession of corset building who
have studied the human form so thor
oughly that they are able to combine
style and comfort even where there are
few good lines to build on, and all those
who can afford it should certainly go to
the very best cOrsetieres.
Expert Corsetieres Are Best.
If the figure is good it will undoubtedly
be perfected, and if defective then there
will be a marked Improvement.
The latest corset for the stout figure is
entirely of rubber fitted with whale
bones This gives to the figure. although
at the same time is firm in its support
In these models there are two styles. one
closing both back and front. and another
that fastens down the front only. For

NEW RULES PUT IN FORCE BY
COMPTROLLER MURRAY ARE
EFFECTIVE.
System is Good For Both the Banks
and the epositors.-New Exam
ners Appointed On Probation.

WASHINGTON, May 14,-Lawrence
o. Murray, comptroller of the currency,
has made during the year he been in
office a large number of important
changes in the system of national
bank examination by the Federal Gov
eminent. Much comment was created
when Mr.. Murray propounded to ma
tional bank directors the famous
.'twenty-nine questions designed to
elicit information as to whether the
directors were really directing their
| banks and really knew anything in de-
tail about the methods and personnel
of the institutions under their charge.
! Despite primary criticism, these ques-
lions have borne good fruit. Among
other changes effected by Mr.. Murray
| is the classification of the entire coun-
| try into eleven bank examination dis
tricts. In each of the districts a chair
man makes his office. Periodically
they call together all the examiners in
the district and confer on al problems
arising in their work.
Cases have been discovered in which
large borrowers of presumably unas-
sailable credit have put up the same
security in different banks, thus being
able to borrow in excess of their as
sets. From out of the new idea of con-
ference among examiners a credit sys-
tenn gradually will be evolved operat-
ing both to the protection of banks and
depositors. The work of examiners
has been reapportioned in order that
those who hitherto had too much to
do may be able to do less work more
carefully. Four examiners at large
have been appointed from among the
best in the service and these are as
signed to banks which may be found
in especially involved condition. New
examiners are appointed so far as pos
sible from among candidates who have
had banking experience. All examin-
ers have been called upon to resign
all municipal, political and commercial
offices which they may hold, and have
been forbidden to acquire stock in any
national bank
Appointments are now made for q
probationary term of six months, and
if at the end of that time the new ex
aminers have not shown proficiency
they are not continued. All national
banks are classified as good, poor OF
bad. The good banks are examined
semi-annually, the poor every three
months, and the bad at intervals as
frequent as necessary. Receivers ap
pointed to adjust the affairs of nation
al banks by the Comptroller have beer
advised that they must do their work
as ex peditiously as is compatible
with thoroughness.
