Nominee Of the contlnentals.
Morning found the great capital In
the splendor Of deep mourning. The
elevated sidewalks, the roof gardens.
the terraces were crowded by people
dressed in black. The newspaper roof
terraces were especially crowded:
there, on immense opal glass plates
sparks of electricity printed the Latest
news and illustrated the Happenings
of the moment with moving pictures.
On the main tower Of the new capi-
toll building "a colossal creation Of
pure American architecture) the Bell
Orchestra, comprising four hundred
players, played the march OF "Com-
ing Peace" a march that thrilled the
hearts with its melody. that elevated
the souls with thoughts Of Heaven.
that drove away evil thoughts with ii
exquisite harmony and foretold the
happiness awaiting beyond. Resonant
horns spread the melody farther and
farther. until 1t soothed the mourning
people In neighboring towns.
The fourteen-hour San Francisco
limited had just slid into the central
depot Of the Tube Lines; the broad
glass doors were flung open and the
passengers hurried out.

LoosENEss is FIRST ORDER
Lines Of Regulation Russian Blouse
Not Followed When the
Material 10 Laced.

The lines Of the regulation Russian
blouse are not followed out when the
material Is laced, no matter whether
It Is heavy or thin. The excessive
looseness and drag of the material Is
emphasized In lace even more than In
cloth because all the garments above
the waist are continually made In this
fashion, although there Is an effort to
bring back the round, tight bodice OF
Victorian days.
The neck should be cut high at the
back and low In front, If it is possible
for a woman to stand this kind Of ex.
posture In the afternoon hours. It can
be as low as she wishes as far as fash
ion Is concerned. for it seems to put
no limit on the daytime decolletage.
This makes dressing easier for the
woman Of moderate means who wish
es to wear one gown before and after
candle light without the trouble OF
adding guimp, for guimps have a
way Of riding up even when made In
the best regulated manner. and under
any kind Of a boned foundation they
are most satisfactory.
Not that the lace Russian blouse
should have a boned lining unless
ones figure demands It, for we have
arrived at the most neglige type OF
clothes that women have worn since
the Grecian era; even II there Is a
boned lining and q corset below the
sagging, dropping, slipping OF waist.

Long lines are emphasized in the

In skirts the fullness Is kept either

PECULIAR BELIEF IN JApIy
Though Pathetic, It Seems Stran,.
to Western Ideas.

Among the Buddhists in japan Il;
believed that the souls of children ..

remain until they reach maturity M
der the care Of Jizobosatsu, who !,
represented as a priest with lon.
cane in one hand and q ball in tbs
other.
He is said to stand in the center O,
the kawara, where he breaches to thu
children as they pile up stones, one
for the salvation of their father, ONE
for the mother, the third for brothers
the fourth for sisters and the fifth 70,
their own salvation.
When night comes on and the wind
blows hard gigantic evil spirit ap
pears and with huge iron rod knocks
down the heaps of stones which the
children have made, and they are 50
frightened that they run to Jizo and
hide themselves in the big sleeves Of
his kimono, which have a miraculous
way Of increasing in size according to
the number of children who seek ref
uge. Then the evil spirit disappears
and the children begin again the work
of heaping up the stones.
Passing through cemeteries in Jap
an one sees tombs that have the image
Of Jizo carved upon them, as the par
ents take that way of gaining The
special favor Of Jizo for their child
rem, and one will see little piles Of
stones built up by the parents and
brothers and sisters of the children
with the hope of helping in the tedious
work Of the little ones in the kawaa

With q steady hand she transcribed

she came to the word written by Han

She could not understand the mean-

While Astra was In her fathers

about the wireless message from
Germany alarmed everybody.
More than fifty years before, In the
year 1919, the now prosperous and
peaceful United States had expert
enced a great disaster. New emigra-
ton laws and the new tariff had pre-
cipitated an international conflict that
had involved not only the leading Eu-
ropean monarchies but Japan and
China as well. The ultimatum came
from the East and the West. Europe
was mobilizing on one side; the orien-
tails on the other; all the nations
against one. The question was wheth-
