PARIS. August so, 1913.
The majority of the buyers have
fixed their eyes upon colors. They had
every reason to believe from what
they knew OF the spring clothes in
Paris that the overbrilliant Bulgarian
or futurist colors would not be popu-
lar, except in splashes, and yet they
were not quite sure what to expect.
It might sound exaggerated to say
that the world seems to have gone

gowns and suits. but 1t is astonishing
how much emphasis is laid upon all
black and all white.
And even when colors are used in
these new gowns that are being shown
every day at the openings they do not
seem to owe their birth to the Balkan
states as much as to the east.
There are strong evidences Of Persia
throughout the whole gamut OF
clothes. TONES are subdued when
They really have great beauty. and

Mrs Gladstone was an intellectual
woman without being a highly educated
one. Her youth came before the days OF

result of wide general reading She was
naturally shrewd and had keen sense
of humor that served her we'll on many
occasions. Unmethodical and careless In

the dingy official residence in Downing

The wife of William +. Gladstone. Eng
lands veteran and revered statesman
was not unlike Martha Washington in
that her life was merely that of wife to
a great man; her chief if not sole accom-
plishment was caring for him. Mrs. Glad
stone did, however. excel her American
prototype because Of her activity in phil
anthropic work-the need of which, OF
course. was greater in congested London
than it was in America in revolutionary
days. Like Mrs. Washington. she
brought to her husband a considerable
property. One could hardly think of Glad
stone without recalling Hawarden Castle.
IN which he was housed with the dignity
beseeming a British premier. and which
came to him through his wife.
Gladstone was a politician all his lie
after the fashion in England, where poll
tics affords a career TO well born young
men of independent means. He was rep
resenting a town in parliament when he
first met Miss Catherine Glynne. and
though he attended lectures and ate his
dinner in the Temple. after the curious
English fashion of preparing for the bar
he abandoned any effort at admission

Married Her in 1889.
Anyway. Mr.. Gladstone had scarce
welded Catherine Glynne in 1899 when
he made it clear that her life was to be
that of a politicians wife. In his career
he said he would be the repository of
many political secrets of the utmost i'm
portance. He gave her the choice of be-
ing told everything and pledging herself
to a silence and discretion equal to his
own: or of knowing nothing and being
thus freed of all responsibility and re-
straint. She chose the former alterna-
tive-what wife would not? Moreover,
she lived up to all its obligations.
1t is recorded that once in a general
conversation in which Mrs Gladstone
, Joined she almost let slip an important
piece Of information Perturbed by her
narrow escape she left the room and sent
to her husband a note of contrition.
At once he replied. saying in effect:
Dearest C.: Don't blame yourself

mistake you ever made

Indeed toward the end of his long pub

urge rigid enforcement of this rule.
He believed, he said, that the chance for
accidents was made greater when drivers
did not keep near the curb line. He
pointed out that when a driver wished
to turn to the left it was much
safer if he knew all vehicles were direct
1y back of him and keeping the fifteen
foot distance prescribed by law.
Again." he said. the rule of keeping
close to the rght-hand curb or margin is
an automatic check against the .speeder.'
If man is going overspeed and turns to
the right he is bound to shoot his car
across to the wrong side of the inter-
secting street if he is close to the curb
when he starts. Then. if any accident
happens IT can be told just from the po-
stion of his car that he was at fault
The Commissioner pointed out that an
other regulation provided in the traffic
rules is an automatic check against speed-
