New York Leads In The Number Of
 fa;a Prom Girls

In view of the accusation SO often made that the New Haven. girl is given the go-by in the festivities att tendant upon the Prom, it is interest ing to know that of all the fair visit ors who come from north, south, east their presence, 50 of the $50 are from New Haven, according, to statistics gathered by the Yale News. Now the %aSson, whether it is that the New %kxSn girl is getting more popular or 1 Yale student more .impecunious %o-s. 14cxs enter into the discussion: New York State leads with one-third CT all the girls who attend. Connec Hcut's quota represents 87 girls. The Prom girl comes from as far west as
 washington and as far south as Tex Alas Every district except the far south Is represented, but Georgia, GsDuisiana, and the Carolinas send no delegates at all.
 Next to New York and Connecticut, follows Massachusetts. Of the more remote States, Illinois sends 10 fair delegates, all from Chicago.
 GOT the cities, New York sends 87; New Haven, 50; Chicago, 10; Boston, 8: Philadelphia, 5: Baltimore, 3; Wash angton, 8; San Francisco, 1.

matter of two inches of the brim stretched over with velvet and the rest with closely shirred taffeta. I have seen this carried out entirely in white and entirely in black; with no trim- ming in either case, ermine being often substituted for velvet in the former.
 Another of somewhat the same shape, but with the cloche effect less pronounced, has a brim bound very broad with white taffeta and the rest covered with white velvet. A bulky sheaf of white aigrette is fastened on the brim little below the crown so as to shoot back over the latter. All- white hats are very much worn just now with smart dresses.
 In some eases the trimming as well as the covering of hat will be car ried out in taffeta. It is so with a large almost flat shape. a medium shade of blue being selected. The trimming consists of large pallettes covered with the silk closely drawn. six of which are arranged in bow form on the back edge Of the brirn.
 We particularly admired the new use made of taffeta in the trimming of a black velvet hat, and the choice of one of the deeper shades of the new Primrose reds glace with white This brilliant, colored silk is arranged in flat pleats on the upper side of the brim and caught undernea cath so as to cover half the black facing.

 Klaus has been unable to fight for several weeks. His hand was 1njur- ed in a recent bout, and this has ham dicapped him to such an extent that he has been out of commission.

AN ANTIDOTE FOR
 A TENACIOUS POISON

Sir Francis Vane-inheritor of an illustrious name-describes, in the Ann erican Mazagine for January. the principles and plans of the World Scouts,'' a movement recently started in Europe for the purpose of offset ting the avowedly military spirit of the Boy Scouts.
 To one who was not born with clot of blood in his clenched' fist, and in whom the atavistic blood-lust has been refined by the progress of evofu- tion-this movement must appeal as worthy of all support and encourage ment,
 Sir Francis says: sI hold it crimin- al to allow 8 girl or boy to be brought up in the belief that war is inevitable, a part of the Divine ordinance! for he who believes it. so, will, consciously or unconsciously, make it so. We aim to show the organizers of the original scout movement that they have Rade ism to be set before boys is the ideal of the World Scouts-an ideal that has no spark of racial animosity. Let the boys keep the natural world outlook that they were born with. Let them go on believing that Italian and Rus, sian boys are not enemies, but friends; not foreigners but folks. Because 1t is so. The patriotic separatist view Is simply not stratght-even if our public schools do implicitly teach it
 
 This last remark comes periiously near being true-and pity 'tis, 'tis true. Now when the Boy Scouts, with their motto, ITO Be Ready'-ready with r1- fle and trained murder-craft to t'de- fend the country" turn out in the in- terest of a mob of territorial pirates against the encroachment of another band of "patriots"-also driven. for. ward by another polite concourse of elf-interest-seeking buccaneers - it s high time that some atom of intelli- nil itself rT1o zaf that the way to begin is to begin; and We may as well begin with these de- 1uded boys if we are to cultivate az anti-militaristic spirit in the youth and man. For the boy is father to the man. and as the twig is bent so is the tree inclined.
 perfection in warlike preparation is commendable and praiseworthy, it Is going to be difficult to persuade them that arbitraI settlement of all inter national disputes is the only course a civilized nation can consistently ceun- tenance-even in matters involving tastb n1hor and rrandiieouent na gesture aAto to the contrary, notwithstanding Wars are necessary only to pander- CTS, sycophants. plunderers and imbe- ciles. All others have sufficient hon or. decency and intelligence to settle their Quarrels without recourse to arms
 themselves into pillage by autocracy. industrial competition, and oppression of the workers, and sociological and economic science have provided us with | weapons for settling these grievances. Apply social therapeutics Cultivate 1 brains, exchange the bullet for the bal | lot and use the attribu +es of a man in dealing with men. not the qualities of the bull dog and Hyrcan tiger. So may your days be long in the land, and s1l your pa ths. peace. Mean while aH honor to- Sir Francis Vane, an Englishmau with high Ideals com panioned by moral courage.

HATS FOR PRESENT

The last few days have seen a large output of new hats of all sorts decid- edly in advance of the Season; they are not exactly Spring hats, but there is a hint of Spring in them. Fore most amongat these stands new to- que which I think may be said to beat tirely of draped taffeta, the draping commencing at the edge of the close brim setting around the forehead, coming over the ears and low down in the nape of the neck and continuing to the top of the shape, which is about the same width all the way up. AL not the least bit formal, they set one above another, save on. the left side, where they sometimes have more or less a downward inclination. Some of these toques measure nearly a foot high. but being made to slope slightly backwards. they do not quite look it.
