NEW VOGUE IN cANDLESTIcKS
Those of Glass or Delicate Chinaware
Have Replaced the More Elaborate
Silver Ones.

The newest candlesticks are of iri-
descent glass, and their effect Is
charmingly festive, though they are
not so dignified as the handsome, we'll
cared-for silver ones of tradition.
Sometimes these glass candlesticks
have shades of deeper tinted glass
also. Dresden candlesticks that have
long been treasured for their dainty
beauty alone are also being brought
out into action by some smart hos
tesses. Now that we no longer crowd
our tables with flowers these precious
things have a chance of being seen to
advantage. They are most effective
when no large tabiecloth, but only
lace and linen mats are used on a
beautifully polished table. White
candles, unshaded or with white or
pale pink shades, should be used with
them.
The fortunate chatelaine who pos
sesses Canton china is now searching
for candlesticks of the same ware
and shades painted in water color
with designs to match the china.
The prospective bride, instead of
having set after set Of silver candle
sticks, will be delighted to receive
carved ivory ones instead. This hint,
of course, is only for wealthy friends,
for ivory candlesticks are not cheap.
Shades should be made for them OF
thin Oriental silk.

The CHILD BEHIND.

Look about as you walk along the
street and see how many children you
can count chasing after or riding on
the ends of wagons in the streets. The
odds are heavy that you cannot fail to
Use such a sight every time you take
the trouble to look. Everybody sees
the sight and nobody does anything
about it. Would you believe that 1t Is
Just as much against the law for a
child to catch behind as 1t is for a
stranger from out of town to stop his
vehicle within ten feet of hydrant.
Let the stranger try it on and he soon
finds himself in the clutches Of the
law. says the Hartford Courant. But
let child try it on and there he Is.
Now the inevitable result of this utter
neglect to enforce a law that makes
for safety is simply to invite peril.
Pretty soon, possibly on another page
Of the paper in which this article ap-
pears, there will be an account OF an
other automobile accident. Some ex-
citable observers will likely call it an
automobile outrage. 1t will be the
story of how an automobile ran over
a child that had been playing catch
behind and had jumped off the vehicle
it was stealing ride on. The one
way to prevent these killings for
which drivers are not to blame is to
impress on the children and their par
ents that this business, which the law
forbids, must stop.

The Greenpoint youngster who shot
himself in Central park, Manhattan,

BELONG TO Fiction EQUAL TO OCCASION
Writers Have Stretched Truth in
Tales of Elephants.
Really the Intelligence Of the Animal,
So Widely Believed In, Has Strong
Limitations, as Observers
Can Testify.

English writer's who have dweit In
India assert that the many curious
tales with reference to the superior
intelligence of the elephant are apt
to produce distinctly incorrect i'm
preston. Like that of the horse, the
intelligence of the elephant is said to
have strange limitations.
There is an instance of authentic
record in which the populace of a
small town near Madras were fright
ened out of their wits by runaway
elephant which broke from its ma
bouts control and ran through the
town, smashing everything that lay
in it's path-all because 1t had been
frightened by the pattering of rain
drops on it's riders umbrella.
An English official in Burma, on
tour of inspection, became tired OF
riding his elephant and procured a
pony in one of the villages. He was
careful to make sure that the pony
was not afraid of elephants, but it new
er occurred to him to ascertain wheth-
er or not the elephant might be afraid
Of his ponies. Early the next morn
ing he sent his baggage and servants
off on the elephant with orders to halt
for lunch at a village ten miles away
and when he had finished some work
he followed on the pony. When mile
Or so from the hating place he saw
the elephant launching along in ad-
vance. The Englishman trotted up to
hasten the mahOut's pace. AS he ap-
preached, the mahout began to gesti-
culate. The Engiishmaan and his SER
wants, who we're Bengal, knew no
Burmese, and the Burman knew no
tongue but his own. The Brltlsher
guessed, of course, that something was
the matter, and, breaking into gal
lop to see what it might be, he was
astonished to see the elephant start
off at run. Three times the excited
and angry mahout succeeded in stop
ping the beast after a run of mile
or so, and three times did the English
man ride up to see what was the mat
ter. only to observe with establishment
that the elephant rushed off each time
Finally the unhappy mahout steered
the animal off the road into swampy
ground, and thus shaking off the pur-
| suit, plowed his way back on foot to
the hating place, where he found an
interpreter to explain that the eie-
phant had been terrified by the ponys
