A glance at the fashion novelty H.
Illustrated here would suggest that we
had gone back to the days Of D'Ar-
tagnan for inspiration. The hat and
coat r very reminiscent Of the gar
ments of the 'GascOn as depicted in
story and on the stage. This is really
the new loose coat Of the Louis XVI.
period. when styles had not changed
greatly from those of the grand mon
arch. The suit is carried out In wis
TARA purple. the coat having collar
and cuff facings Of brocade to match
the material Of the vest. The long
gloves are Of silk in a shade of purple
slightly lighter than that Of the suit
and hand embroidered.
Eiehty.six Women Plumbers.
Has any one ever seen q woman

sons,who could reply in the affirmative:

sus Of England and Wales relating to
occupations and industries. there are
eighty-six women who ply the calling
Of plumber. OF these seventy-seven
are widows.
The same blue book. which has just

enty women paperhangers and white
washers and four bricklayers. all of
them women. but only one woman
coachman.
Three women appear under the head

FOR BELGIAN SUFFERERS

In response to a call recently made
for contributions for the relief of the
suffering Belgians, eleven large boxes,
filled with clothing and other arti-
Giles, were sent from Paris and the sur
rounding country to the gathering
point in Lexington, Saturday Head
quarters had been established i'm the
Paris Christian church, and the people
of the city and county made a quick
and generour response to the appeal.
Most of the contributed articles were
new, and consisted in the main of
shoes, underwear, clothing of all
kinds, and wraps.
Millersburg contributed three of the
eleven boxes sent to Lexington, and
there were generous responses from
all parts of the county. The work
was in charge of the WOmen's Bible
Glass of the Christian church.
|, Moved to action by a realizing sense
of the awful restitution and suffering
that is prostrating the Belgian people
and almost causing them in addition
to the horrors Of war, to lose theil
identity as a nation, the teachers an(
school children of Paris and Bourbon
county are soliciting funds for the wal
sufferers, whose pitiful condition ha:
! brought from the pockets of the PEG
pie of this community a generous
| outpouring of substantial aid, so sore
| ly needed :.
An entertainment will be be givel
at their hall on High street this even
/ ing by the Ladies League Of thu
/ Catholic Church, the proceeds to b.
applied to the relief fund for the Bel
gian people.
If there is one Sorbid soul in tn
confines of Paris and Bourbon count.
that would refuse to contribute o
his or her means to this campaign il
the interest of humanity, he or sh
ought to be pilloried on the cour
house square, and exposed to the cor
tempt of the whole human race, or
least the population Of the city o
Paris. Other communities might b
busy giving such Cose to some o
their own.

THE FRENCH ZoUAVES
A Picturesque Corps Whose Fame Be.
came World wide

Among the most interesting classes
of soldiers of modern times is the
French corps called the zouaves The
body of daring and picturesquely at
tired warriors reached the height of
its fame during the Crimean war. The
zouave corps at that time was supposed
to consist of Frenchmen, but it was in
reality quite International, since its
ranks contained many daring young for
elgners. In this corps served MANY
men from Oxford, Gottingen and other
universities, and it is probable that the
greater part of its members had Joined
more for the love of fighting than for
love of country. Its fame as a fighting
body soon spread throughout the world.
When our own war between the
States broke out several corps of zou-
ayes, wearing the splendid oriental uni.
forms of the French corps, or modif-
cation of them, were formed on both
sides. On the Federal side the best
known was that corps commanded by
Elmer Ellsworth, young officer from
New York, the first man, it is said, to
be killed on the Union side In the
Confederacy the most famous corps of
zouayes was that calle the Louisiana
Tigers.
While in American military life the
zouave uniform has practically disap.
peared, it still persists in France.-Ex.

Feeding East Indian Soldiers

The East Indian troops are giving
no end of trouble because of their fast
idiousness in eating, says story from
London. In the Netley hospital, near
southampton, Hindus and Mohamme,
dan wounded almost came to blows
over the question of how their goat and
sheep should be served. 1t has been
necessary to separate them to avoid
fighting. The Mohammedan wants the
animals heads cut off: the Hindu in
slsts that the throat shall be cut and
the beast allowed to bleed to death
after custom immemorial. At first the
British in charge of the hospital were
inclined to weigh the matter lightly.
but they found that it was of serious
concern to the Indians. After two or
three classes between the factions. thew
We're placed in different parts of the
hospital and their respective requests
in the matter of how goat or sheep
should be despatched are being care
fully observed

Tonaue-End Topics
Troubles Of the Rotarians

Now that the Rotary Club week at
the Orpheum theatre is over and has
proved great success it is violating
no confidence to tell little story of a
meeting of the club s committee that
has given the members of that com.
mittee plenty Of laughs since. 1t was
big proposition, taking over the the.
atre and guaranteeing s2,700 ex.
penses, before the Rotary Club began
getting money for the Belgian fund.-
and there was -seme apprehension as to
the outcome,-this is before the week
started. The committee began long
discussion on what to do in case the af
fair was not success and in case q
deficit would have to be met at the
end of the week. There were many
long faces until one of the members
said:
Let il go until we really face that
condition. Then we can tackle the
problem. =
Ihat put stop to the argument but
the very next thing the committee went
to discussing was what in the world
the club would do if tickets were sold
to more persons than the theatre would
accommodate. That was a horse OF
another color but it caused just as
much worry for the time. There was
plenty of amusement when the mem
bers began thinking that meeting over
after its close.

"coLoN1ALIz1Ne" INDEPENDENCE SQUARE

AT meeting yesterday of the committee on
preservation of historic monuments of the Phade-
phla chapter, American Institute of Architects.
with Philadelphia city officials the first steps were
taken for making contemplated Improvements in
the immediate vicinity of Independence Hail. and
the first contract was awarded for such altera-
tions
The idea is not merely to beautify Independence
Square but rather to dignity it. The result may
be ornamental enough but there is to be nothing
gaudy about 1t. independence Square is to be
'colonialized, that is the word the architects
used.
The old birthplace of American Independence is
at present in rather ordinary environment The life
of great city flows about it and the approach to
1t Is of twentieth century aspect The plan now
is to surround it with square that will be per-
vaded with the atmosphere of colonial days-that
will give it approach which will suggest to the
visitor at first glance the spirit of the eighteenth
century
The erection around the square of brick wall
four feet high, recognized as distinctive feature
of colonial architecture; the laying of brick pave
ments, and the placing of low, wooden posts with
round tops, such as once surrounded the hall will
decidedly change the external appearance of the
historic building, and will convey it back to the
colonial days IN which it had its origin
Independence Hall, the shrine which all Amer
leans want to visit least once in their lives does
not belong to the present age and its immediate
envlrons must not be those of to-day from a purely
sentimental no less than from a really artistic
point of view. Independence Hall is relic of the
past; II belongs to colonial days improvements
are to be welcomed which give it fitting colonial
surroundings

PROUD THAT THEY WERE "NEwsIEs

Forty or fifty successful and prosperous business
men in western city, who began their money
making by selling newspapers on the
streets, have volunteered to sell papers again for
the benefit of Christmas charity fund, and their
action must be regarded as characteristic of the
unassuming western folk
There are lots and lots of men in every city who
at one time another in their youth made few
cents daily through the sales of newspapers but,
unfortunately, not all of them are willing to admit
it. Not that there is anything against man who
started successful business career as 'newsie -
but there seems to be absurd idea among some
who have climbed the ladder of success from such
a modest beginning that it detracts from their
dignity to have it known that they have not always
enjoyed atfluence
The plan adopted by the rich former-newses in
the western city will accomplish more than merely
to raise big fund for a worthy Christmas charity
1t will show that they are not ashamed of the fact
that they began life in humble way and pushed
to the front through their own efforts Such frank
Acknowledgements will do the country lot of good
1t will teach the true spirit of American democracy
and encourage others to take pride in accomplish
ment through real hard work and increase the
nation s respect for the self-made man.

LESS PUBLICITY FOR CHORUS GIRLS

Al movement for better understanding of the
chorus girl" has been started by girls playing in
New York theatre, according to newspaper
the chorus-is not press agent yarn. The girls
are telling about the press agents this time instead
of the press agents telling about them.
They object strenuously to the press agents,
these girls do, Now would you believe it? They
come out openly against the who load news
paper columns with tales about them and declare
that none of the tales is true. They say that the
sensational publicity given to them has been re-
sponsible for misunderstanding about them which
exist in the public mind.
Really, re quite nice girls and we re not a
bit out of the ordinary" said one of them to an
interviewer. The case with us comes to just this
We are tired of reading foolish things about our
selves in print that do and foolish inter-
the right to put official o. X. any press mat,
ter that goes out with our names in it.
The girls in demanding that their feelings be
considered in the matter of newspaper pubic!t;
assert that they take their work as seriously as
do girls of the same age in other walks of life. -
There are, as they say, plenty Of nice girls in the
choruses, yet they hardly blame the newspapers
if their feelings are not regarded when it comes
to writing stories about them. Such stories IN the
big cities come from the theatre people,-not the
newspaper people and the stories are for the pur-
pose of increasing box office receipts
