A Mere Mans Room.

Mans taste in fitting up his room is not
often consulted or respected, yet there
should be one room Of the house Is large
enough furnished for his own use as he
desires
OF course, men. no more than women,
can he spoken of collectively in relation to
a matter Of this kind. The best that can
he done is to take the average mans
taste. and then we will have little diff
Guilty in telling how he would like to
have his room fixed up.
First of ALL he would like II large, with
plenty of space between furniture-the
larger a room the greater the probability
that he can avoid disagreeable contact
with the furniture il he gets up at night
Ten chances to one he would carpet 1t
all over with three-ply of a neutral color
Rugs that are forever tangling his feet
sliding with his chair or slipping from
under him rarely appeal to man. He
would have a small. comfortable. plain
iron or brass bedstead in the far corner.
and chairs. easy ones, distributed in all
parts of the room, so that he would find
one always wherever he cared to sit. A
big table-a man likes plenty Of table
space and plenty of drawer space either
in a dressing case or chiffonier-and a
good closet are other requisites.
BY no means should there be scarf
or dolly. fancy work or notices in the
room. and nothing that could by any
means fall off or be pulled of. Let him
select for the walls whatever he wants
in the way Of decoration, and last. but
by no means least in Importance make
it an invariable rule that everything he
lays down on the table or dresser top be
left unmolested Let this rule apply to
all things in the room as much as good
housekeeping permits, for the room
would lose more than half of its charm
for him if it We're regularly cleared up.
Possessed of such chamber and having
the assurance that il would be disturbed
no more than cleanliness demanded. the
average man would begin to feel his
ideals were at length being realized.

Special Correspondence Of The Star.
FLORENCE. Italy, May Never
have there been such opportunities for
the colored linens, especially in the soft
supple weaves of this season, for. unlike
the rather stiff, crisp weaVes We have
been accustomed to, these new French
crash linens lend themselves very ad-
vantageously to frills and other soft
trimming schemes, so that they need not
be kept SO strictly within the confines Of
tailored effects as heretofore.
All Of the smart shops in the Via
Tornabuoni and along the Arno are be-
ginning to display some exceptionally
smart models, made up on entirely new
lines. and already a number of them
have made their appearance in the
promenades and gardens.
1t is an attractive model that has been
selected for Illustration. A Florentine
blue linen is used here, with simple
and effective embroidered design, heavily
worked in self-color. This consists mere
ly Of leaf border worked on either side
Of an undulating stem. and it is used to
cover the dropped armhole seam and
to top the hem Of the tunic.
The blouse is slashed at either side of
the front from the bust line downward,
and the fullness at either side is then
draped under the slash in little lifted
folds. Soft white batiste collar and cuffs
frills lend a pretty touch. as does also
the black silk tie run through button
holed eyelets and knotted outside, just
under the blouse.
The tunic is in two pieces, both laid
f.~
shorter one is left open some eight or
nine inches across the front. and like
the lower one dips perceptibly toward
the back.
The skirt itself is quite plain and fol-
lows the narrow lines prescribed by fash
ion.
Crepe de chine in almost any color
should prove particularly adaptable to
this design. and ought TO make a very
serviceable spring and summer frock
OF both sashes and belts suitable for
these linen dresses. there are innumer
able novelties in the shops.

All winter We have worn colored tops
to our buttoned boots without protest
thinking them quite conventional. The
plain black boot was entirely out of style
all season. When woman would not
conform to the fashion for colored up
pers either in the form Of tops to the
boots or spats she compromised by wear
ing low shoes.
Now the low shoes have colored uppers
in cafe au lait biscuit cream. These
are mounted we'll down into the vamp
and run to the sole at the sides. French
trick that has dominated the bootmen
this season. Women like it because it
undoubtedly makes the foot look smaller.
And even with all their exploitation of
large feet. no woman entirely disregards
chance to make them look smaller.
The oxford tie has come into fashion
again. and rivals the English pump, al
though il is not as neat looking on the
foot because of the lacers or ribbon used
There are women who adopt the oxford
for country use and use leather thongs
instead of ribbon. and again those who
adopt patent leather ties for the after
moons have taken up with the varnished
ribbon, which they arrange in a fiat bow

The outbreak of trouble between
villa and Carranza in Mexico will
probably cause President Wilson to
resume his policy of 'Watchful
Waiting" This policy has paid US
very well in the past, and there is
no good reason to change it at pres
emit. There is, in fact less reason to
Interfere now than there was two
years ago. Most of the Americans
are out of the country and those in
1t are less exposed to danger than
they were during Huerta's malignant
regime. Both factions of the consti-
EutiOnalists are at present rather
well disposed toward the Americans,
and they are all less inclined TO pick
q quarrel with the United States
than any of their predecessors. The
comparative ease with which the
Americans seized Vera Cruz, and the
absolute heIplessness of Mexico &c
recover the city and port as long as
the United States sees fit to keeT
them, has been a mighty good object
lesson. Some of the more ignoranf
1Iexicans may underestimate TIT
power of America, but Villa, Carran

ent as to what the world thought
OF them. But when the tide turned
and the allies began to push them
away from Paris, the Germans sud-
denly changed their policy and be-
gan sending out reports every day.
No doubt that during that phenome-
nal march on Paris, the Germans did
many things any American newspaper
man would have built fve-deck
scareheads over, but he never had
the chance The only event that we
have had a chance to spread our
selves about on the German side was
the sinking OF the three British cruis-
ers by a German submarine in the
North Sea, and that was certainly
done full justice. We can assure our
German friends that if the kaiser's
Zeppelins blow up london, we will
give them the biggest scare lines yet.
And il they blow up New York there
will be room for only thirteen words
on the first page. But as long as the
kaiser confines himself to wireless

In declining the endorsement of
New Jersey democrats for a second
Eerm, President Wilson again shows
his high sense of the fitness of
things. The president does not mean
by this that he will decline a renom-
fnation, but that he does not con-
slider it appropriate that his home
state should endorse him at this
time 1t is not certain that Mr.. Will
son will accept nomination for a
second term. If he does so, it will be
from a sense of duty to the country
and the party. If the truth were
known, it is likely that Mr.. Wilson,
30 Gar as his personal feelings are
concerned, would rather retire at the
end of his first term. Physically, he
IS the weakest man who has occupied
the presidential chair in many years,
but he works harder than any presi-
dent since Lincoln.
