By FLORENCE 1


New York, Jan. 4.-The holidays t
are a thing of the past and the season v
is now iii full swing, to remain active t.
until the beginning of Lent. That
means that everywhere, at the opera, n
at the theatre, at the big hotels and b
restaurants patronized by exclusive So b
ciety and would-be society, not to men s
ton the various social functions at t
private houses, the seasons most ex- a
quisite styles are displayed and may I
be studied to advantage. The most 7
salient of the characteristic features |
of present day fashions undoubtedly is {
the decided favor shown to the slim /
figure. Gowns and coats seem to be
made for the slender woman exclu-
sively and the woman who is not slen-
der finds little sympathy and has to
make the best of the situation by
dressing in such a manner as to ere
ate the illusion of being simmer than
she really is.
Another rather striking feature is
the temperance in many interesting
forms of the blouse. The short blouse
is seen on many evening gowns and is
a relief from the surplice effect SO
long in vogue. The Russian blouse
worn so much this winter for stree
suits is doubtless responsible for it
popularity. 1t has proved so satisfat
tory and so generally becoming tha
its influence is now felt on all classe
of clothes, be they suits, gowns or te
gowns.

French dresses that children ha
worn for so long. The short blous

many cases, droop considerably and

almost concealing the girdle or belt.

INVENTION OF PHON|

London, Jan. Ain all English
speaking countries throughout the
world the centenary of the birth of
Sir Isaac Pitman, inventor of phonog-
raphy, the parent system Of modern
shorthand, was celebrated today with
appropriate exercises. The celebra-
ton in this city, which was held I'M
der the direction of a committee head
ed by Sir Thomas Crosby, lord mayor
of London, included exercises in all
schools where shorthand is taught and
large gathering and banquet with
addresses by noted opponents of the
Pitman system and many public men
interested in stenography. In New
York, also, a celebration was held
under the auspices of committee in
Guiding many men of note, among
them President-elect Woodrow Will
son, Andrew Carnegie, President Had
ley of Yale University, DR.. William H.
Maxwell, Prof. Brander Matthews.
George B. Cortelyou and many others.
Isaac Pitman was born in the lit
tie town of Trowbridge, England, on
Jan. 4, 1913. His father, Samuel Pit
man, was overseer in one of the num-
erous cloth mills of Trowbridge, and
raised a family of ten children, six of
whom later became teachers. Isaac
was sent to the grammar school of
Trowbridge to receive the rudiments
of an education, but showed no particu-
lar brilliancy in his attainments. Ow-
ing to the poor ventilation in the
school young Isaac's health broke
down and at the age of 10 he was
compelled to leave school.
After leaving school Isaac was en-
ployed in the office of the mill of
which his father was overseer and in
the evenings his father, who had a
good education, taught the boy and
enabled him to advance rapidly in his
studies. In August, 1881, Isaac decid-
ed to take up course in teaching and
went to London where he entered the
British and Foreign School Societys
College. In January, 1882, at the age
OF 10, Isaac took charge of school
at Barton-on-Humber, market town
in North Lincolnshire, and four years
later he removed to the town of Wot-
ton-under-Edge, where he established
and managed a school with much sue
cess.
While conducting his school at Wot-
ton-under-Edge, Mr.. Pitman took up
the study of Taylor's system of short
hand, and finding it great time-saver,
he urged upon his tsudents to take up
the study of the system. AS there
was no cheap textbook of the system

There is always a suggestion of

Scarfs have reached luxuriousness

THREE ARE klLlkD
Sad Tragedy in Carter County When
Child Causes Powder Explosion.

Gfayson, Ky.-By laying train OF
powder from a room where ten kegs
OF explosives used for blasting were
stored. the 7-year-old son of A. ]. Alex
ander blew the home to atoms and
dealt death in sudden and terrible
form to himself, his mother and baby
sister who were home alone at the
time.
Alexander is a miner and had stored
the powder in his home to keep it dry.
The door to tie room where the ex-
plosive was kept had been left I'M
locked.
The mother was at work in the
kitchen and the two children were IN
the room adjoining which opened into
the one where the powder was stored
The little boy crept into the powder
room and taking both little hands full
of the explosive trailed it across the
room to the fireplace In a flash the
end came. The fire caught the chain
of powder, Kissed across the floor, over
the sill into the room where the ten
kegs OF powder rested and the whole
was exploded at once
The mother heard the hiss of the
powder as the fire followed it to the
room, saw the flash and rushed wildly
toward her children In an effort to
save them but before she could even
reach the door the powder went off
hurting her backward and out through
a gap in the wall, rent by the force
OF the explosion, injuring her so that
she lived just long enough to tell the
story: The boy, Dan. Z, was killed in
stantly and the baby, Mary, T. was SO
terribly hurt that she lived but a short
time
The force of the explosion was so
terrific that the house was literally de-
molished and the report of the con.
cusslon heard for distance Of five
miles back in the country.
