Every woman really wants to see her
self dressed "a la Turque." This charm
ing negIigee will accomplish this easily
and will prove a desirable garment for
those who try IL.
The material used for the one sketched
are figured and plain china silk. The cut
of the garment is similar TO the creep
ers" made for children, and is put on
over the head, tied at the neck with a
gilt ribbon, and buttoned from ankle to
ankle with snap fasteners.
The two large buttons are consected
under the front panel by a wide ribbon,
and the girdle is stitched under one but
ton and fastened under the other after
putting on the garment. This arrange
ment can be replaced by soft sash with
good effect.

FICTION READING
ON THE DECLINE
Report Of Librarian Shows that So
Per Cent of Reading Is Still
of This Kind.
MORE MONEY NEEDED
TO PROMOTE WORK
Short Working Hours in Capital
Shown to Be Conducive
to Reading.

That the tastes of the reading public
are changing from books OF fiction to
the more solid works on educational
subjects, and that there Is a constant
ly Increasing demand for books for
home reading, is stated in the annual
report Of George F. Bowermn. librar-
ian. just made
Besides the main building at the cor
ner OF Eighth and New York Avenue,
there were 1853 agencies engaged dur
ing the past year in dispensing books.
and through these agencies" Mr..
Bowerman reports, "s5o,527 volumes
were circulated Into the homes of
readers as compared with 6OI.7I7 vol
umes for the previous year, a gain of
$3.50 volumes, or s per cent. In ad-
dition, 54.56S mounted pictures were
circulated. an increase OF 12.44s, or 80
per cent" The report continues in
part as follows:
I'm each annual report 1t has been
possible to record a reduction in the
percentage of fiction circulated from
that of the previous year. Last year
the reduction was from 60 per cent to
SIS per cent. The total reduction in
eight years has been IS per cent; that
is. from 81. the percentage in 1904, to
SIS. The ambition Is held ultimately 10
reduce the percentage Of fiction circu-
lated by the library to so or even less.
The factors that have produced tfe re-
suits thus far achieved include, in addi-
ton to the possible changing tastes or
readers. the personal help and guidance
given by assistants at the information
desk and elsewhere, the progressive ex-
tension OF the open shelves. the display
on such open shelves OF selected groups
of books on various subjects. frequently
changed. and especially the potent sug-
gestions OF the book case labeled Some
Readable Books"
The fifth years experience in conduct
ing the industrial department in a sepa-
rate reading room has only served to af-
ford more, convincing proof than ever OF
its complete utility. Although there has
not beer as large a proportionate gain
In use over the previous year as has been
shown in earlier reports, yet the increase
has been sufficient to make IL desirable TO
move the department to larger quarters,
that Is. TO a room in the west end Of the
basement twice the size Of the room pre-
viously occupied"
