KEEPING DAINTY THIS SUMMER
One Of the Differences This Year and
Last Is the Dark Band on Skirts.

I've really found it quite easy TO
keep clean this year SO many little
things help that YOU hardly take into
account at the beginning OF the season.
but which you find invaluable before
it is over For instance. no one wore
bands or facings or circular flounccs
on skirts last summer. and the conse-
uuCnce was that every time one Wore
a light dress il had to be Numbered
or cleaned. This year | have some
thing dark at the bottom OF almost ev-

striped or figured linen dresses with

they can be. and they don't look dread

WHAT A JAPANESE WIFE LEARNS
The Art of Managing Men Is the Only
One She Really Studies.

A Japanese wife is more than a
wife. She is an artist. She is an
artist in the most difficult of arts
and the most neodful-the art of hand
ton of her life. For in it she lives.
The woman of Nippon is not notably
attractive in either face or figure. She
suffers a severe handicap in COMPARE
son with English and American wom-
en-. Therefore she does the next best
thing-she displays policy. / believe
your word for it is tact,
OF the woman Of Japan there is one,
just one. opinion among her Judges
especially among her foreign critics
AS wife, she is all gentleness and
lovableness. This is quite remarkable,
coming from men the world around.
Whatever may be their criticisms on
other things. they are all praise for
the Japanese woman as wife There
| is reason: there are more reasons
than one.
In the first place, she is past mis-
| treSS in the art of commanding men,
only in her case it is no longer an art
it is second nature with her. The
basic, elemental qualification of a
great commander of men. East and
West, is and always has been this
to know how to obey. Everybody
knows that. Even Napoleon knew
that. Greater than he who saw ST
Helena after seeing Austerlitz. the Jap
anese woman acts out what sho knows
what she knows so well and has
known so long that she is no longer
even conscious of it-Delineator.

A STUDENTS DRINK EVENING
Kaiser of Germany Thinks They Use
Too Much Beer.

100 MUCH Beer.
There is CONSERVATION in the ranks
of German Students for the kaiser has
just announced that he thinks they
drink too much beer To tell Ger
man undergraduate that he ought to
give up his beer mug is very like sug-
costing that football and cricket should
be abolished at Oxford and Cam
bridge.
For centuries the German student
has been in the habit of drinking beer
in company, and in this time an elab-
crate code of etiquette has been evolv-
ed which everyone consorting on Wis
iting terms with students club must
understand. 1t must always be re-
membered that the beer consumed in
Germany is light lager and not
the heavy, heady liquor usually drunk
in England.
Anyone who has been a guest at one
of these beer evenings will never for
get the experience. There is an air
of gay conviviality about the meeting,
but the good fellowship is mixed with
the discipline of a rigid code.
The honored guest of the evening
will probably be seated next the pres
ident or chairman, who has mallet
by his side for keeping order or de,
manding silence.
The visitor is introduced to the mem,
bers and has a friendly chat before
the president takes his seat and pro
ceedings start. The president will
rap on the table with his mallet and
demand "Silentium!" for most of the
commands are given in Latin, intro
ducing the guest of the evening with
short speech, after which the com
pany drink his health with many pros
it's"
Later on the guest must ask leave
to address the party. when he must
say nice things about the kind hospi
tally he is experiencing. and end by
drinking the healths of those present
in the same amount of beer in which
his health has been drunk. For in
stance, if the president has ordered {
full one" to be drunk, the visitor
must also drink full one in return
OF course, the evening does not con
sist entirely of the drinking of healths
for different members of the club will
sing songs, play the piano, and Civ
recitations. while the favorite studen
songs will be sung in chorus.
1t is very funny to see room full
OF young men sitting round loni
table and Justify singing n plaintiv
sentimental ditty or rousing patr
otto chorus. an open songbook in from
of each. The president will rise, and
after 4 rap on the table, will ute
his usual silentium," and then say
We will now sing number soand-so,

adding the opening line.

After the song is over there is a
blinking of lids as the mugs are raised
for a deep draught of the golden liQ-
nor. while chorus of "Prosits" is
heard. But the visitor must always
consume exactly the same amount of
beer as the person drinking to him if
thai amount is specified.
Then one student calls to another
as lie lifts his mug: Mr.. Smith.
drink a mugful to you first" where
upon the gentleman addressed cries
'Prosit." Later on he replies to his
friend: "Mr. Meyer. | drink full
one to you afterwards" and drains his
mug with one deep draught. And the
prescribed ritual between those two
is duly fulfilled.
But the most solemn rite connected
with drinking etiquette is what is
known as the salamander. This is
guest or the person-such as the kai-
ser on his birthday.
When the momentus moment ar
riyes the president looks all around
the table while the walters fill each
beer mug to the brim; then, slowly
rising. he gives an extra vigorous rap
with his maliet and says: I'VE will
now rub Il threefOld Salamander in
honor of -
All the mugs having been duly
charged, he asks: is everything
ready?" to which vigorous chorus
answers: Stunt" CA literal trans
latlon would be: Are the materials
prepared" and the reply in Latin:
They are.'D
Then comes the command, given
slowly, but with military precision:
"Ad exercitium Salamandir. Ems,
zwei, drei." At the first three words
all seize their beer mugs and open
the lids; at "eins' (one) they are
raised to the lips; at ''Zwei' two)
they are emptied at one draught, and
at "drci'' (three) they are banged
down on the table and the lids closed
with a click.
Still standing, the president contin
ues the ritual: Zone is one, two is
two, three is three" while all rui
their mugs on the table with a circu
lar motion, or drum them on theil
edges. Next, he rapidly repeats: "One
two, three!" three times, the mugs be
ing banged on the table for each word
and the salamander is over.
Each different corps or students
club may have its own variations o
the salamander, but this is its mail
