Trousers for Women.

ttONoSso 'S' W ~''~''
 On the eve of his departure for France, M. Paul Poiret, the noted couturier, told 8 reporter who was seeking for a glimpse of the musty future that the women of tomorrow will undoubtedly we trousers.
 "Women will not wear the ordinary masculine trousers that we wear, however" said M. Poiret. pointing with a smile to checked pear of his own, but something more eugen. ic, more feminine. It will be the log. ical outcome of the tailored suit And it will not, by any means, give woman the masculine swagger or make her appearance more mannish in any way. On the contrary, it will only accentuate her femininity by contrast, just as concealing her hair would emphasize the smallness of her face. They will be Oriental trous. ers," concluded M. Poiret, who in addition to being renowned as an au. thority on fashions is also something of an Orientalist.
 When asked to what he attributed woman's craving for infinite variety in style M .Poiret said it indicated on the part of woman a mind more fanciful and more capricious than mans that found its expression in clothes.
 And also," added MT. Poiret, after a pause, "a mind more artistic. Oh, yes, indeed, woman is artistic. But in this respect the Ameri. can woman cannot compare with the European and especially with the French wom' an She is more staid, more mat. ter of fact, not so ssceptiblue to emo tion. She does not express her tenn perament and her individuality in her dress as the French woman does. It is not the designer who creates an artificial desire for styles. The de sire is there; the designer simply makes propositions and the women choose"
 M. Poiret does not look or talk like an originator of feminine styles that has set two continents agog. He talks in a calm low voice, without ex, travagance of gesture that one might expect, is quite lacking.
 "The American woman is extrava- gant in her dress and she doesn't know it," said M. Poiret. "The Amer ican taste generally is extravagant Look at the paper on this wall. It is covered with flowers and designs SC that the simplicity of the background is lost. It is the same with Ameri cans in all things. The women think that my styles are extravagant and bizarre because to them simplicity has become extravagant and bizarre My style is simplicity itself, but they do not recognize it as yet. When my wife appeared with a plain white ha, people turned to stare at her in sur prise And yet the women who were doing so wore in their own hats gi gantic feathers and plumes that were the height of extravagance." M. Poiret WAS inveigled into talk ing Of the feminist movement abou as easily as the average citizen i: | induced to pay a debt.
 That is 9 matter of politics" h' said. But feminism, I will admit has already tended to make womel more logical, more simple. And whel they get the vote they will become even more simple and logical-il dress as in everything else"
 And so he bowed himself out o America.-New York Sun.

Mechanical Short Cuts in Census Work

The census expert like the modern
banker or corporation official is greatly
aided by ingenious mechanical devices.
The population statistics for 1910, like
those for 1890 and 1900, were tabulated
by punch cadr system.
The machines used for the eleventh
and twelfth censuses were rented from a
private concern, but those for the thir-
teenth, while based in part upon the
principles employed in the previous ma
chimes, were constructed from designs
made in the census bureau and are
owned by the government.
Under this system a card is prepared
for each person, upon which the facts as
to sex, race, age, marital condition and
place of birth are indicated by the
punching of appropriate holes. The
cards are punched for the most part,
by machines which contain 240 keys, or
one for every item to be recorded.
The cards after being punched are sys-
tematically verified, in part by reading
back TO the schedule. but mainly by the
use of electric tabulating machines.
which reject automatically any card
lacking the required number of holes or
any card containing holes apparently in
consistent with one another, as, for ex-
ample one indicating that person,
though less than ten years of age, is
married.
All the cards are then sorted according
to main classes by special machines.
Electric contacts made through the
punched holes determine the groups into
which the cards are sorted.
On account of the compleXity of the
statistics required, each card must be
run through the tabulating machines
several times. The different operations |
for the complete tabulation of
the scheduled facts concerning more I
than 90.000.000 people made the work |
equivalent to handling over 700.0O0000 |
ards on the sorting and tabulating ma

How many Exvilles are there? Alto
gether, 533 American cities were active
in playground or recreation movements
last year. But only 2s5 had supervised
Fairgrounds. The other PAS. at least,
are in danger of auto-v accination--of
having such inadequate, unsatisfactory
Fairgrounds that the people will become
discouraged and the development of eff
fective ecreational facilities will be pre-.
vented or postponed.
What is the. answer? Exactly what

Playground and Recreation Association
OF America gave ten weeks of competent
service. He gave Exville first, an under
standing of her own needs; second, a

SOCIETY BREAKFAST HELD.
Mrs. Wilson, Mrs. Marshall and Wives
of Cabinet Members Welcomed.

! Washington, April 7.--Society women
of Washington to the number of $50 Sat
urday welcomed the wives of President
Wilson, Vice President Marshall and
the members of the Wilson cabinet at
formal breakfast. The elimination Of
wine from the menu was the result
of campaign which caused feeling to
run high Members of the Woman's
Christian Temperance union, who oe-
cnpied one Of the tables at the affair,
were active in the campaign. While BOO
women were satisfied because they were
invited to the breakfast, at least that
number more, because they were not in
vited, are in rather disturbed state of
mind As originally planned the break
fast was to have been exclusively Tor
Democratic women. The plans We're
changed. however. and as result scores
of women whose husbands are in the
councils of President Wilson's party
were left off the list as the accommo-
dations were limited. Another innoNa-
ton was the total absence Of speeches.
Not even an address OF welcome to Mrs.
Wilson graced the program. Instead an
illustrated lecture on white House fur
niture," by Mrs. Abbie Gum Baker. fol-
lowed the breakfast. Mrs. Champ Clark,
wife of the speaker of the House. who
was invited TO the breakfast, did not
attend because Of a previous engage

siderable comment Mrs. Wilson, Mrs.
