VISITOR FROM SPAIN FINDS TT HARD TO FORM LIKING FOR AMERICAN WAYS

We don't have as many beggars as there used to be, but still great many, you see We have good laws. but the people all do as they like

For instance. in the province of viscaya. they speak, Vscaianio a language distinct, and for itself hay ing a grammar and being taught in the schools. In Catalina, they speak Cata- Ian.

Desmond O,Brien Missing

London, October 20.-(Special. )-One of the "smartest' women in Belgravia whose husband is at the front, has just learned that her brother, member of the royal flying corps. has been re- ported missing. She Is the Hon. Mrs. Coulson Fellowes, daughter of the fourteenth Baron Inchiquin, whose marriage took place last year Her husband. who is in Flanders with the first life guards, is the eldest son and heir of Lord de Ramsey. It is Mrs. Fellowe's youngest brother. the Hon. Desmond O'Brien, who has just been reported missing He Is only 30 years old.
 The head of the house of Inchiquin. loves is daughter. is the one peer who has the privilege of quartering the royal arms and using red liveries. This was concession to one of his forbears on his giving up the sovereignty over the south of Ireland. for Lord Inchiquin is direct descendant of Brian Boru, who was slain at Clontarf half a cen tury before the Conqueror landed on these shores That the O'Brien family are resourceful was proved when the Hon. Moira, half sister to the head of the house. interested herself in a fash ionable hat shop and made 1t a suc- cess.
 Should her husband survive the war, the Hon. Mrs. Fellowes will, of course, some day be Lady de Ramsey. She will then be mistress of three beautiful homes. Ramsey abbey. in Huntingdon shire. No. Belgrave square and Hav- erland hall. Norwich

"The national sport is the bull fight. and we witness them every year when they have the big tournaments. It is all so exciting and attractive, although it is very brutal The women look so beautiful and the colors are so bright. the costumes of the matadvre and 'Toreros' are very rich and embroid- cred in silver and gold. The suits are worth a fortune and when they are all dressed they look like pictures.
 ''The cities are so lovely. It seems so queer to see all the houses of wood here. In Spain they are all stone, tho ships have little balconies filled with flowers or beautiful columns. All over the place there are always fresh flow CTS and the air of romance Is over ft all.
 "Of course, the war has had a great influence over the people; there are two parties. The intellectual and wealthy people are mostly for Ger many and the whole Catholic church working men. they are mostly all so- cialists; they are for the allies. Our lower class Is not like the working man of other European countries; they are mostly all uneducated and illiter- ate. And our King, dear King AL phonso, he is beloved, because he is so democratic All of Spain loves tho King.
 'In America you say mans stand ing is according to the amount of money he has. In Spain he Is con- sidered according to his merit and rank. Oh, in Spain it is all so roman tic and so beautiful. Maybe I shall like America better after awhile"

Centenary of Trousers

From the Chicago News
 Men have worn various forms of bi- furoated neither garments since the be- ginning of recorded history but it is asserted upon reliable authority that the first trousers of modern cut were worn by London tailor in 1S15 Aid ed and abetted by the Duke of Well lington, this enemy of his sex and of the human race made the unspeakable garment fashionable and men have been in bondage in trousers ever since. If there is something the direct oppo- site of a monument it ought to be erected
 -or dug-to that London tailor. It is recorded that he was mobbed upon his first appearance In public wearing his dfabolical invention It is difficult to un- derstand the tendency of the Britisher of that day in permitting the fellow to escape with his life. It is even more dif- ficult to understand how the wretched garment was allowed to come into gen. eral use
 It is chronicled that the Duke of Well lington himself was refused admittance to ball when he appeared in long trousers. Thus was awakened a suspic- ion that the pugnacious hero of Water loo thereupon used all his power and prestige to make the men of Europe which he claimed to have saved wear the sartorial abomination. The duke one fancies, was convert to what is now called "effciency' He was mad about the saving of time. motion and energy. And the sole appeal of long trousers was in the fact that they en- abled a man to dress--or rather to cover himself-in about half the time required by knee brooches and stockings
 But the duke was a poor logician, at that. If the saving of time and ,en- ergy were the sole desideratum, the kimono has trousers beaten. As a mat ter of fact there has never been any reasonable excuse for trousers. They of- fend art and utility. Perhaps the req son of their being is that man, despairing of rivaling woman in loveliness, deter mined to make himself so ugly as to fascinate by the weird horror of his ene- mics.
 Any man who suggests that the cen tenary of long trousers be celebrated will, of course. be shot at sunrise. How ever, on second thought, it is clear that the only adequate way now to punish the inventor of the garment is to repre- sent him by means of a statue of heroic size in the act of wearing trousers. I'm agine with what glee any self-respecting long-suffering and revengeful sculptor would create such statue of the enemy of man and of the sacred art of Phidias and Michael-angelo

 By a curious coincidence, just before Servia's cause set the world aflame, it was certain characteristics of old Servian history which first suggested the story of ''The Lost Prince to Mrs. Burnett. A Servian friend was describing to her the ancient days when the country was a beautiful pastoral land, whose shepherds made noble songs and whose people were a race of heroic stature and much beauty. The details of the later history of it's tragedy, struggles, and changing dynas- ties were, to Mrs. Burnett, both moving and picturesque. She wrote the earlier chapters while she was staying in the Bavarian Alps, and she called her imagi- nary country "Samavia,' to suggest the ancient name of Servia.

 novel. By Selma Lagerlof. Trans
 lated by velma Swanston Howard.
 Doubleday Page X Co.,. publishers. < Garden City, New York. Hidden away among the lDalecarlian hills lay the little Swedish parish where the Ingmarssons lived. As long as the villagers could remember an Inkmarsson had always ruled over the parish in a patriarchal sort of way Big Ingmar' they always called the head of the house. The day a Big Ing mar started to blow the fallow field at the north end of the village where lay the Ingnar farm, blows were put into the earth the length and breadth of the valley. For the Ingmarssons had been on earth such a long time that surely they must know what was pleasing to our Lord
 Around this family of Ingmarssons and the little peasant community in which they lived. Selma Lagerlof has built "Jerusalem.' She tells the story of the awakening of this parish from it's narrow provincial life; of the tre- mendous religious and social upheaval that takes place among the peasants, < and finally of their supreme sacrifice when, leaving home and country, they set out on pilgrimage to Jerusalem.
 In the everyday life of these Swe- dish peasants, their toll in the fields or at the lonely forest kilns, their loves and their hates and their final awakening, is mirrored the life of a whole nation In "Jerusalem" the au- thor of "The Wonderful Adventures of Nils"-now accepted as a classic-has written her second masterpiece.

 No writer of the present day has a greater following or a more sincere- ly interested clientele than Mrs. Fran ces Hodgson Burnett, whose books are clean wholesome and well written al- ways.
 In her latest story "The Lost Prince" Mrs. Burnett has probably done the best piece of work she has ever attempted and those who want really readable and charming book to peruse, should at once read this at tractive story.

From the wonderful land of Spain, with centuries of customs and attrac- tions peculiar to the country, it is 8 long and great change to our cosmo- politan and money mad America. Was it quite fair to ask the dignified and sadeyed Spanish girl how she liked this country. But brutal as it seemed, she was asked and small wonder she hesitated to hunt our feelings before she said:
 q didn't like New York at all. but this place is better--everybody is in such a hurry in America. l think I don't live here"
 Brought up in Spain. that is some thing like a dreamland," where the people say: Tomorrow, God willing" and go on their way, little wonder she trembled at the hustle and hurry of our great hustling New York.

Her home is in the north of Spain in the city of Balboa. quite an important place. Surrounded by iron mines the town is exquisitely picturesque, with a long, long river going right through the city and the whole town built on either side of it. Then on three sides of the town the mountains, "and real mountains" said Miss Gold, mot just hills as you have here; our mountains are so high we seldom see the top; you think they go into the sky, all except one side that opens to the sea-

Passing of the Hammock

From the New York Times.
 Those who sell goods for open air sports are not only always at the mercy of the weather they have to be con- stantly upon their toes watching changes in public taste. and the coming of new articles upon the scene lest they be found asleep at the switch, and with their lamps not burning, and without the new things for which there is sudden demand, and overloaded with old things for which the demand Is fast dying away. Dealers in hammocks suddenly discovered this season that there was a great slump in their sales. Of course the first thought was to charge it to the cold, wet season, but a little investi- gation showed that the trouble went deeper than that, and it soon developed that the falling off in sales was in all likelihood a permanent one. and not just a passing trouble. Apparently the '.mov- ies," especially the open air sky domes, are responsible for much of it. Then automobile riding of nights has done It's share .and the use of porch swings com pleted the story Hammocgs never were comfortable affairs. despite all the poetry written about them, while porch swings are as sociable as hammocks and much more comfortable

Progress in Suffrage.

The people of New Jersey voted
on a constitutional amendment
granting complete woman suffrage
September of this year. New
York, Pennsylvania and Massa-
chusetts take a similar vote two
months later, in November. No
one expects to carry this reform
in Pennsylvania, though the SUI
fragists are making a gallant bat
tie in it's support; but in New
York and New jersey the "cause'
has fighting chance, and those
who ought to know claim that in
Massachusetts, the odds are in it's
favor.
All these states, please observe,
belong to the conservative
East; all are Of the original thir-
teen. If even one of them adopts
suffrage, the backbone of resist.
ance to that measure is broken.
Success at any of these four points
is equivalent to driving wedge
straight through the rauks of the
opposition. The mere fact that
the legislatures of these states
have voted to submit the amend
ment is big victory.
Equal suffrage is coming, and
coming fast. The ants might as
