Tourists From This Country Form
Only Per Cent. of Those Who
Visit Switzerland.

We have been telling ourselves so
long that our American tourists keep
up the European hotels and that but
for them Europe would become bank
rupt, we have come to believe 1T.
Some figures on the subject now come
from Switzerland, the Mecca" of all
Americans after they have reaped
their reward for virtue by visiting
Paris.
Swiss hotels entertain about two
million tourists annually, and II those
who stay at pension and boarding
houses are included the number OF
guests reaches three million. OF this
number % per cent. are the Swiss
themselves. The Germans, who are
often pictured as stay-at-homes. con-
stitute 40 per cent, then come the
English, II per cent; the French, 15
per cent, and the Americans. who.
with their eight per cent, are only one
Der cent ahead of the Italians So.
after all, 1t seems that Switzerland
would not go to the wall If the Ameri-
cans boycotted Europe long enough at
least to see the wonders and beauties
of the Grand Canyon. the Canadian
Rockies, the Yellowstone. the Yosem-
ite and Niagara Falls first.

LACE CAPS NOW THE FAD
Use for Stored Away Pretty Laces
Has Been Found-Most Ac-
ceptabIe Presents.

For a new purpose girls are turning
out their stores of pretty laces and
looking them over or buying silk net
and allover lace remnants, to say moth
ing of Cluny and Mechlin edges.
They are making caps. And not for
any mythical grandmamma, either. 1t
is the dainty coiffure of the bonnie
maid who makes it that is to be
crowned with this charming bit of
vanity. If she has learned the art OF
making fine and always new needle
point lace it Is probably theater cap
that she is fashioning of the black silk
lace braids which one sees her tack
ing deftly to stamped pattern.
When finished it will be drawn up
with a cord of the palest pink tea
rose silk, and on the left side will be
spray of rosebuds of the same delicate
shade, unless, indeed, she is bru-
nette, in which case the cap may have
the completing touches of deep, clear,
cardinal cord or ribbons and blossoms.
Another girl is making her friends
the most delightful little morning or
boudoir caps. These are usually OF
allover lace, like the quaint mob caps
of Colonial times, but with frills turn
ing up and more airy little frills turn
ing down against the wearer's soft
hair, and these, too, are of lace. For
a bride of tomorrow she Is setting low

Pity the Chinese Student.

A new map OF China was recently
published by a German house which
undertakes to transcribe the chief
names in the exact forms which they
assume in the dialects of the respec-
tive provinces as we'll as the common
ly accepted form. In this way the f1f-
teen chief dialects are represented.
says the National Review. The COM
monty accepted form is printed IN
dark green, the dialect forms In black.
Thus such unfamiliar forms appear
as Taetsiu for Taichow, Fupe for HUI
pei, Fulan for Human, Hokkiong for Fu-
kien, Ssjutchon for Suchow. etc.
Other features which make the map
valuable are the thoroughness with
which it treats Mongolia and the Ko-
konor country north of Szechuan-
regions which in most maps are left
more or less blank spaces.
