NEW YORK, May 25.-out Of the
multiplicity of modes of the present
day. we are evolving clear and sem
sible idea of dressing We no longer
fix upon the style Of one particular
period and use that idea for every
gown we have, whether it is intend
ed for the breakfast table or a formal
reception. We are instead, cultivat-
ing a sense of what is appropriate and
choosing from one period our house
dresses. from another our street cos
tunes. and from still others the
flooks for the various demands of mod
ern social life. At least If we are
not yet as fully differentiated as all
that. we do not make the mistake Of
having our coat suits with trains and
panniers and houffant skirts. but re-
serve those essentially feminine at
tributes for the more frivolous side
OF life where they properly belong
What woman now wears a trained
skirt on the street? Yet. not so many
years ago It was the exceptional wo-
man who had the temerity to appear

subject opens itself up. The separate

One can no longer buy one coat which

be more satisfactory than wcll

examples of the new black satin even-

fashionable trimming seen on many Of

is suitable for theater or any recep-

QUEER TOWN IS IR0NSP0RT
Nobody in Ohio Village Writes Let
ters, Gets Arrested or Stays
Out Late.

The most remarkable town in Ameri-
ca, In some respects at least, is to be
found among the hills of southern
Ohio. It is Ironsport, with 700 in
habitants, ten miles east of Zanes-
vile
The Ironsport rosteffice was closed
October 81, because Joseph Barney,
the postmaster, said he had not sold
a single stamp in five weeks nor had
he received any incoming or outgoing
mails. The people explain that they
have no friends to write to and that
they are all too busy to write any
how.
There has not been an idle man in
Ironsport since 1909. The mines are
running full time and every miner
owns his own home. Some time ago
the police department disbanded, the
chief declaring there had been no ar
rests made within six months and that
it is only a waste of public money to
keep salaried policemen
The village records one fire in two
years and the damage then was 5000.
A recent census showed that lie
population is composed Of 637 Irish
men, II Welshmen and So Germans.
Until October, 1911, there were only
II men and women in Ironsport who
had mo church." A GAINESVILLE priest
recently reported that he had succeed
ed in converting these II persons.
The school teachers of Ironsport,
four in number, declare that Ironsport
children are unusually bright, owing
to the moral influence of the town. Not
since a circus visited Ironsport three
years ago has there been a person seen
on the streets so late as midnight

STRANGE KINGDOM OF NEPAL
Secluded Land at Foot of the Hlma-
Iayas Where King George Went
Hunting.

The ancient and interesting little
kingdom at the foot of the Himalayas
to which the king went for his shoot
is nearer to being an independent ter
ritory than any other of the Indian
states.
Since the eighteenth century It has
beer ruled by the Gurkhas who fur
nish to the Indian army some Of the
most perfect soldiers in the world.
For practical purposes the country is
almost as closely secluded from Euro
peans as Thibet, to which in many re-
spects it is akin.
The Terai. where King George was
lately encamped, is the low-lying jun
gle tract bordering on the Indian plain,
a region extraordinarily rich in wild
animals, including elephants, the cap
ture Of which is a highly organized
and valuable industry.
The maharaja Of Nepal, whose death
by the way occurred on December II,
was a titular sovereign only. the real
ruler being the hereditary prime min
lister, who visited England few
months ago. He has the title Of ma
haraja. and is entitled to a salute Of
nineteen guns.
One result of the jealous exclusion
of foreigners. which the Indian gov
eminent thoroughly respects, is that
very little is known Of great part
of Nepal. and that much of the avail
able information as to social and eco
nomic conditions is mere guesswork.
For close upon a hundred years the
rulers have been our very good
friends. and the force OF eight thou
sand men headed by Jung Bahadur in
the Mutiny was Of inestimable service.
