FASHIONS AND FADS
By Maude =. CiIIey.

Lace yokes, three-quarter sleeves
and trimmings Of two kinds Of laces,
sheer and heavy, are the especial
points of distinction about new lin
gerie blouses.
Filets of old gold mesh, jewel
sprinkled with pearls, crystals or coll
ored beads, give q note Of magnifi-
cence, yet preserve the simple lines
of the coiffure.
Grays in all shades and tints are
highly in favor this season, both in
the province of the tailored suit and
the more dressy costumes for after
noon and evening wear.
Black millinery is extremely fash
ionable for children. These little
hats and quaint bonnets are trimmed
with clusters Of tiny berries, fasten-
ed with brightly colored silks.
Sleeves show fullness at the lower
edge now. On some, deep cuffs give
a suggestion Of empire fashion. On
others, lace frills fall over the arms
or hands in filmy cascades.
Some of the fur coats, for the sake
of variety, have the vacancy filled with
velvet, brocade or other handsome ma
terial, which is repeated in great
revers or big collars.
For men, from England and very
smart. are buckskin gloves with but
tons and clasps for fastenings, in
grays and tans, some with heavy en-
broidery and others with silk ling
ings.
The revised fashion of wearing the
hair dressed peasant style. with the
braids coiled over the ears, is much
favored. Bandeaux of richly jeweled
nets are worn across the front of the
head.
In Paris the vogue for a combination
of materials is still as strong as ever
Satin, silks, woolen fabrics, velvet
even plush, combined with cobwebbS
laces, nets or chiffons-such is "thG
thing"
Collars of ear-tickling height anC
daytime decolletage effects are two ex
tremes of the present styles. The stocl
has returned with all its altitude, anC
the low transparent yokes are agar
revised
The carpet embroidery introduced
upon the collars of the latest coat:
is Of eastern design. Most of them
with their ancient colorings and vel
vety softness, appear like pieces Gu
from old prayer rugs.
White ratine. as a lining for blacl
or colored faille or satin coats. is on
of the smart things in handsome suits
The white cloth comes out in cola
and cuffs, with big buttons covere,
with silk or satin. Black gowns o
the kind are used in half mourning.

For thousands of years Mount
Athos, the monastery-covered emf

cidice peninsula. in the Aegean sea.
has been a center of religious activ-
ity. Centuries before the beginning
of the Christian era sanctuary Of
Zeus (Jupiter) stood on the noun
tain. 1t Is the mountain that the
architect Dinocrates offered to turn
into a statue Of Alexander the Great
with a city in one hand and in the
other a perennially flowing spring.
It's chief modern interest lies in the
fact that al least since the beginning
of the middle ages 1t has been the
home Of a little monastic republic
that still retains almost the same
autonomy granted thousand years
ago by the Christian emperors of Con-
stantinople. In 1905 the many fortified
monasteries and hermitages on Mount
Athos contained 1858 monks, includ-
ing Greeks, Russians, Bulgarians, Rou-

DISCUSS FREEDOM OF AIR
Jurlsts Of the World Are Torn Over
Sovereignty Of Space Above
Territory.

London.-In the sixteenth ana
seventeenth centuries the jurists of
the world poured forth learned
treatises on the freedom of the seas
and in those days Englishmen were
the great champions of the doctrine
of mare liberum. while the Continental
scholars upheld the notion OF mare
clausum
Today the jurists OF the world are
busy with the discussion OF the free
dom OF the air, and the roles are
reversed. English professors almost
unanimously maintain the doctrine OF
sovereignty over the air. space above
the territory, while their colleagues
abroad insist that the state has no
dominion.
The need for the assertion OF state
sovereignty is implicitly recognized In
our aerial navigation act of 1911,
which empowers the government to
interdict flying over any area when it
chooses.
At the same time the principal of
state sovereignty does not interfere
with the right of innocent passage
through the air which the comfy and
intercourse of nations require.
Subject only to precautions neces-
sary for the safety of the subjacent
population and public security liberty
to fly over the land will doubtless be
accorded by the state to foreigners
as well as nationals.
The position will be similar to that
taken up in regard to territorial wa
ters says the Law Journal, through
which there is right of innocent pas
sage to all vessels. though they are
subject to the dominion of the neigh
boring state.
In fact, the air juridically resembles
not the open ocean, but the marginal
sea.

manians, Georgians and Servians.
The domestic government of the
monasteries was regulated in 1046 by
Constantine Monomachos. with the
aid OF the patriarch of Constantinople
BY the imperial document which he
issued women are forbidden on the
peninsula, prohibition so strictly OBJ
served that even the Turkish aga, or
Official, who resides at Karyaes. may
not take his harem with him. To
such an extent is this prohibition
carried that even the females OF ami
mails are not permitted on the PENN
sula. On occasions when women are
forced to land there in storms they
are at once placed in huts and sent
away at the first opportunity.
The Paleologi emperors at Con-
stantinople and the Slav princes of
the Balkan peninsula enriched the
monasteries of Mount Athos. Occa-
sionally a Byzantine emperor took
refuge there from the cares of state.
Amid the political disasters Of the
Greeks during the fourteenth century
Mount Athos appears as a kind of
holy land, place where the Hellenic
spirit was cherished when 1t was
threatened elsewhere. and even today
1t is one of the most sacred pilgrimage
sites of the entire Greek church and
the feasts of the principal monaste-
ries are always celebrated with great
pomp.
The fall of Constantinople in 1853
brought no modification of the condi-
tons on the holy mountain. The
monks. who stubbornly opposed all at
tempts at reconciliation with the
church of Rome, submitted at once to
the domination of the OsmanH and,
with rare exceptions, have never been
interfered with by the Turkish au.
thorities.
AS a general rule the monks hold
their property In common. They are
divided into two classes, the 'fdiorhyth-
mic" and the "cenobitic." The latter
lives are of great monastic rigor,
their chief occupation day and night
being solemn public prayer. The 9TH
ers enjoy little more freedom and
practice minor industries in aid OF
the common support.

SHOT BY BoYHooD ENEMY
Youth He Had Sent to Prison In 1877
Gets Bitter Revenge After
Many Years.

Denver, Coin. A. Root, member
of a Denver tobacco firm. was shot
and seriously wounded at his home
by man he says he recognized as a
boyhood enemy of Ripon, Wis. Root
was taken to the county hospital,
where it was said there was a chance
for his recovery.
Root said the trouble started in
1870, shortly after he left school in
Wisconsin, when his home was robbed.
He said he recognized the burglar as
James Divinney. He had Divinney
arrested and he was sentenced to the
penitentiary. At that time, Root de.
clares, Divinney swore vengeance.
Several times in the last fifteen
years, since he has resided in Denver.
Root has been attacked, shot and once
locked in his safe and nearly suffo-
Gated. On each occasion Root de-
clares he recognized his assailant an
Divinney.
