A UNIVERSAL WARNING.

"IIa, hai' laughed Jacques. THAT Is
quite so. Mondaines. demi-mondaines
and grisettes all have the fever for dress.
The fact is they wish to please and at

I'm making Frenchmen worse than men Oh

(Which women do you find 1t easiest
to dress becomingly?''
"Oh. they are ali about the same nova
days. Fashions are 50 international ana
people travel so constantly that they
are becoming similar in type. You can
no longer pick out French women, Amer
leans, Germans, etc They seem to have
developed more or less similar charac-
teristics"
But don't French women have the
clearcst ideas as to how they Ike
things"
Yes. perhaps they do. But that does
not always please us If woman de-
signs her own gown entirely 1t takes "A
great deal OF time to work out her ideas,
and they arc not always satisfactory.
We like best to have woman put her
self absolutely In our hands"

A TRIBUTE TO GRANDFATHER.

I'VE had rather wonderful upbrlhS-
ing" he replied. This man over my
head was "A genius" He paused while
glanced at the picture of solemn old
man In a skull cap, the founder OF the
House of Worth. mentally salaamed to
him and turned my attention back to his
descendant.
Yes, my grandfather was A genius. ne
repeated. "He had marvellous love ana
gift for beauty. You must not think mat
he expended all this on fashioning clothes
alone. No; he also built some beautiful
homes-houses where not one thing ex-
listed which had not perfection Of line ana
color. | do not mean that everything IN
those houses was necessarily costly. NOT
at all. But everything was perfect In
itself. Grand dukes came to see these
homes and wished TO buy them as they
stood Well, In such surroundings we
came to manhood. We have not needed
any other training"
Jacques nodded gayly at the old man III
the skull cap and sang out fippantly:

selle, and Jean is longing to talk oil men,

"Oh, what will you?" he gurgled In high
glee. I'VE just make clothes, and there

Dear ones, felt quite strong desire

Did you ever study art and designing
or did you get all your knowledge OF the
creation of beautiful clothes here?
This time Jean took an innings. his
face lighted with a charming enthusiasm
that made me see how greatly interested
he is in his work and all hat bears
upon It.

DON'T SEEK IDEAS AFFAIR.

do you find that you have to go to diff
ferent countries IN search of ideas for
novelties In fashions?" l questioned.
"Oh, We both like travelling" replied
Jacques, breezily $50 We do considerable
of it: but We don't go afield in search OF
designs. Beauty is easier to create in
Paris than anywhere else. though. OF
course, characteristics of dress in other
countries are sometimes borrowed. Just
now you can trace the influence OF India
and the Orient IN certain fabrics and
styles, and Russian touches are noticea-

Through the narrow passages We
wound, leaving the plain. businesslike
quarters. and making our way back to
the luxurious apartments given over to
the Muse of Fashion.
The big salon was quite empty, but
from some Of the smaller rooms came
a sound Of gentle chattering and now

How He Felt About II,

There was one man in indianapolis
this week, who could appreciate the
position Of the man in the musical
comedy, "a Modern Eve" who is the
hen-pecked husband Of a suffragette.
Whether the understanding one is a
resident of the city or whether he is
one Of the state fair visitors remains
a mystery, but he is not in sympathy
with the suffrage leader depicted il
the play. He was a diminutive per-
sonage with long, flowing whiskers
and a very meek countenance.
The husband, who was dominated
by his wife, had summoned sufficient
courage to speak Of the matter. His
narrative Of his troubles ended with
the lines, "Now, I am tired Of this, 1
am going to assert myself"
The audience applauded and the
small man was especially elated. "Bul-
ly," he cried. The exclamation brought
forth more applause than the lines

SECRETARY BREN4AMAN HAS
PILE OF RETURNS. BUT is
AWAITING ORDERS.

Secretary J. N. Brenaman, Of the
State central committee, stated yes
terday that to date he had received
less than one Thousand sealed returns
from the recent State primary. There
are 1900 precincts in the county. and
SO far as Secretary Brenaman knows
some Of the packages may contain
returns from an entire county As
has been set forth before the pack
ages are sealed, and are not to be
opened except in the presence OF the
meeting Of the committee called to
canvass the returns. The new pri-
mary law requires that the precinct
Judges send the returns direct to the
State committee. Some have fol-
lowed this plan. and some have fol-
lowed tho old custom.
Secretary Brenaman takes with
several OF the candidates with refer
ence to the feasibility of opening and
compiling the returns now as a solu-
ton Of the problem. They seemed
to favor the idea, but have not for
mally agreed to the proposition, and
In the meantime the secretary is
resting on his oars He cannot pro-
coed without orders, and unless some
thing is done to relieve the situation
the candidates will be receiving
Christmas presents from family and
friends before they find out the ON
cial vote cast for them in the pri-
mary.

WILL PRESENT FACTS

The feasibility of, as we'll as the ne
cessity for, complete medical inspec-
ton of rural schools has been eff
fectually demonstrated in a survey OF
all the schools in one county recently
conducted by the State board OF health
Of Virginia
An average county was selected. and
In less than two months time every
child in attendance in fifty schools
was carefully examined. The negro
schools and school children were as
thoroughly inspected as the white.
Examination Is Thorough.
The physical characteristics of the
school buildings and surroundings
were first noted. such as air space,
light space, heating and ventifating
and water supply. then the children
were lined up, their height and
weight were first taken. then their
eyes, ears. nose. throat glands, skin,
heart and lungs were carefully ex-
amined
All previous diseases from which
they had suffered were also noted. A
specially interesting point was the
preliminary step then taken at every
school looking toward the detailed ex-
animation of every child for intestinal
parasites.
Present Facts to Health Congress.
A tabulation OF all the facts gath
cred in this survey Is now being made,
and report will he submitted to the

Such a complete medical survey as
this has never hitherto. so far as
