Plan For Baby Exchange.

The American Opium Peril
BY HUGH @. WEIR.

The slaves of opium comprise an
army more than twice as large as the
population of the United States and
four times as large as the combined
populations of Spain, Portugal,
Greece, Denmark, Switzerland, Scot
land, Sweden, Norway and Canada.
Over 16O,O00,OOO men, women and
children are as helpless under the
sway of the poppy as chained slave
under the lash of the task driver.
During the year 1908, the drug
claimed more than one million lives,
nine-tenths of which were contribu-
ted by the nations of China, Burma
and India. The significant fact, how
ever, which is calling the world to
arms, is that the opium curse is
sweeping westward.
In the United States the drug has
gathered more than twice as many
victims as in any other English
speaking country. This is why, be,
sides sending delegation to the re-
cent international opium conference
at Shanghai, President Roosevelt ap-
pointed a commission which is to
probe the peril of the poppy In Amer
ican territory.
Mention opium to your neighbor
and he will shrug Indifferent shoul-
ders as he pictures, perhaps, vague
scene in Chinatown. Opium and the
Chinese, to the mind of your average
newspaper reader, are inseparable.
He has never considered the poppy
except as factor that is ridding the
world of coolies, or which perhaps can
quiet the suffering from a broken
limb or broken sleep. 1t is because
this is so that we are facing to-day
series of disagreeable facts. For
the shadow of the opium curse has
reached across the seas, from the old
est civilization to one of the newest,
and is striking at our sinews with a
force and cunning which only those
who have made a first hand study
of the problem can appreciate.-Put-

PASSING of the Bachelor.

Funerals in China,

The ostentation common to the rich
Chinese is even observable in their
funeral obsequies. Even if by chance
a man should desire an unpretentious
burial, the thought of such a thing
would be abhorPent to his heirs, who
would consider it a distinct slight
both to themselves and to the family

Commercial Instinct.

"It is the fashion nowadays to
sneer at the commercial instinct, and
to despise it as something common

garity is the concealment of vulgarity.
The common man who knows that he
is common ceases to be common by
this knowledge; by realizing that he
is not gentleman he almost becomes
one. The really vulgar people are the
people who are forever pretending
that they are not vulgar; the truly
ill-bred are those who are constantly
parading their gentility. There is
nothing that is vulgar in itself; it
only becomes vulgar when = pretends
to be something else. Therefore the

Dressmakers Haunt Picture Galleries.
Partisan dressmakers are seeking
inspiration for evening modes in the
picture galleries. There is always
more latitude allowed in the fashion,
ing of dresses that are to be worn
by night than in the tailor made, or
even the elegant afternoon gown; and
it is safe to prophesy that for even
ing the period gown will have sue
cessful vogue. The terms are almost
synonymous, for it is the paintings
of the Louis XIV. and XVI. period
that are guiding the modistes.
This means the coming of the
pointed, tight fitting corsage, the
tucks, and the draped skirt.
The vieux rose tints which have
had such a long inning are to be al
lowed to have rest, perhaps only a
brief one. A pale amber shade, Gu
riously becoming to both fair and
dark haired women, is one of the
newest colors for evening. Inciden-
tally 1t is perfect background to the
mass of cleaning jet which trims SO
many of the smartest gowns. The
delicate mignonette green of the sum-
mer is another shade which shows up
well under the electric light. Blue
is a color that has often been es-
chewed in the past because of the diff
diculty of choosing a shade which
looks well under artificial light.
There are several blues notably the
pastel tones, Serves and Natter,
which can be worn with safety in the
evening.
White is, of course, always worn,
and the indispensable black evening
gown is, If anything, more delectable
