TIME Saturday Evening Post declined
to insert this advertisement in the
= issue of September oath.
1t is true that this advertisement is at
variance with the persistent statement of
ready-made clothing manufacturers that
their product is "equal to custom made :"
Its substantiation is found, however, in
the fact that w. P. Willis & Co. confine the
distribution of their high-grade imported
fabrics exclusively to custom tailors.
If you want to be certain that you are
buying suit which cannot be duplicated
in any line of ready-made clothing, you
will be interested in the Willis fabrics
which we have to submit this season.
Every piece of Willis imported cloth is
stamped with the Willis mark. .

vacant a hut is erected. A light
wooden framework is hung round with
cotton walls that roll up or let down,
according to the desire of the occu-
pant. In addition, the roof has a thick
grass mat to keep out the sun.
The traveller enjoys entire privacy
as regards the people on his own kelek,
for he gives orders that nobody is to
come abaft his gable. At the end of
his little house, and projecting astern
of the raft, is a tiny bathroom pro-
tected from public gaze by cloth walls.
Thus the kelek combines all the ad-
vantages OF a modern mansion. living

abundant light and air, and panoramic
emery that is an eternal feast for the
eye.

Whenever a workman Is more than
five minutes after time he finds the

This half hour is deducted from his

is that the decision is dictated by sound military rea-
sons.
Port Arthur as a fortress may have been valuable to
Russia, although, If the Russians had blown up the de-
fehses and evacuated the place, concentrating all their
armies at Liao-yang. 1t would have been better for them.
But Port Arthur as a naval base In an exposed position
would be only a weakness to Japan, who has better pro.
tected naval bases within striking distance both in
Korea and In her own islands. Occupying Port Arthur
as a fortified naval base would in the event of war i'm.

Of the kind described by an anonymous
writer in the Boston Transcript. She
herself is employed in a public library,
and was busy one day composing a
note, when a woman, who may be
known as Mrs. Smith, sailed up to her
desk. Mrs. Smith moved amid a rustic

horizon like a child's old fashioned
bathtub.
Before beginning she saw DR.. Pierce
In his oflce-the door was open. I
think he saw her, and hat he would
have retreated into the wardrobe, but
he was too late.
She bore down on him, with one
hand outstretched, the other c%lutching
a mass of Tapping papers. l could
hear her distinctly-indeed, so could
everybody in that part of the building.
Or. Pierce? Oh, how do you do?
I have never met you before, but l
know Mrs. Pierce. And ! have used
the library for years. l often got
books here when old Mr.. Akers was
librarian, but l was quite a girl then,
and l guess I never read much but
fairy books. l almost always ask for
Miss Anderson when l come here; she
Is lovely-a perfect treasure-and
takes such pains, But they say she's
away on her vacation, and SO is Miss
Hardy, in the reading room.
Nov, I'm going to read a paper next
Monday afternoon before the Twenty
Minute Culture Club; It's the arst
meeting Of the season, and at my
house. Here's the title: italian
Painters OF Cinquecento.'
Il can't for the life OF me find where
Cinquecento is, and I've looked through
all the gazetteers and Biographies
you've got. Mrs. Brooks gave me the
anne of a lot of painters, but | don
believe she knows much about them
or where they came from.
First there is Vassery's Lives Of
the Painters then there is this Carlo
Dolce far Niente, who lived in 1897, and
painted frescos for the Basilica of
San Raphael, whoever he may be. And
I know I've read an article some
where about Bambino; l wish you
would let MI take some book about
him. Oh. yes, l remember; he was a
monk who fell in love with some nun
he was painting, and instead of elop-
ing with her, retired to a convent and
wrote sonnets about her all the rest Of
his life. The Italians are such an ar
tistic race, and their art is so mingled
with love affairs!
There was some one, l remember
I think 1t was Ponte Vecchio, but | am
not sure-who painted a lady's por.
trait, and had musicians playing all
the time SO her husband wouldn't
hear him make love to her. Oh, I re-
member it all! You recall it, don't
you, Doctor Pierce? There IS a pic
ture, l saw it 20 long ago, that shows
him meeting her, and he has his hand
On his heart. When he died he left
oil these sonnets to his friend, Vita
Nouva, and made him swear to bury
them all in the lady's coffin, and
he did, and they weren't dug up
for a hundred years, and then
nobody could read what they
were about because they were all writ
ten in cipher. Then they were pub
lished in the Golden Book of Venice.

used, both In writing and speaking, and the professor
thinks that almost any teacher could furnish a similar
list. We have no doubt of that.
But what encouragement have the students to adhere
to conventional English spelling when the teachers
themselves are straying after false photographed gods?
Here, for instance. is Prof. Otto Jespersen Of the Uni.
versity Of Copenhagen telling the students of Columbia
University:
Much would also be achieved II scholars Of renown,
philologists, students Of literature and writer's Of books
in general would indulge in some individual spellings,
one in this class of words and another in some other
class. These individual spellings need not be numerous,
nor should they be necessarily consistent, and the author
need not give any other reason for his special hetero-
doxies than that they just suit his fancy. This would
educate readers by showing them that different spell
ings need not always be marks of illiteracy and that
there may exist difference OF opinions in this as well
as in other respects without any fear Of human society
falling at once to pieces on that account"
The professors watchword Is every man for him
self; show your individuality in your spelling" This
is not spelling reform; it is anarchy. 1t Is Babel over
again. Bvt it Is cheerful news for the writer's OF those
ffty-eight examination papers.-Chicas Tribune.
