C. Alphonso Smith of the faculty of

delivered an address before the Deut-

Virginia in which he had many in

Kaiser, his keenness Of perception,
versatility, and general demeanor. 81
simply cannot conceive of the Kais-
er as warrior Doctor Smith is
quoted in closing. "From what have
seen Of Wilhelm II and from what he
has said to me and before me, l cam
not picture him as leading the battle
line of an army. The impression that
| did bring away was that he is the
most marvclously informed man in
the world today"
Doctor Smiths observations on
the personality of the German En-
pcror are SO interesting that they
are herewith reproduced Says he:

was again, and the cook opened the
door in the kitchen at the same time
Gyp saw it was a mouse running
around the pantry floor. He sprang
for 1t, and caught it Just as the cook
came to the pantry door and saw
Blackie washing her face and paws
beside the empty cream dish.
Blackie saw that she was caught as
fast as the mouse in Gyp's mouth,
and what was worse she knew IL was
her work to have caught the mouse.
Blackie Jumped, but the cook was
too quick for her that time She took
the broom and poor Blackie was
beaten and driven out.
When she slid into the kitchen later
she saw Gyp eating chicken and bread
and gravy and heard the cook say,
Good Gyp, he Is a nice puppy to
catch the mouse; that Blache is q
lazy thief, and mean to drive her
out every time she comes in."
Blackie hid behind a box and tried
to get to Gyp when the cook was not
looking, for she wanted her supper,
but the cook spied her, and bang
went the broom and out the door few
Blackie.
The next day out in the yard
Blackie tried to make up with Gyp,
but he had found her out.
You wanted me to eat some of the
Ncream, didn't you, so you could lay 1t
to me when cook found the empty
dish" he said
"If you had been paying attention
to your work you would have caught
the mouse and had O nice warm place
to sleep this winter. Now you will
have to sleep in the barn"
Blackie showed her claws and ran
toward him, but Gyp's mad was up
and he stood still and growled and
showed his teeth.
THAT is right, Gyppy boy" called
the cook from the doorway, don't
you let her drive you away; give her
good shaking as you did the mouse.
She is a good-for-nothing kitten"
Gyp encouraged, ran at BlaclSie and
this time she ran and Gyp's revenge
was complete. (c) 1915.

EVENING STAR PATTERN
FUR TRIMMINGS APPEAR EARLY
PREPARED by THE PICTORIAL, REVIEW.

The vogue for brown and green
combinations is splendidly carried out
in this costume of green serge
trimmed with bands of beaver. The
back is cut in princess effect.
F,rocks trimmed with narrow bands
of fur have the floor at present, and
designers are paying a great deal OF
attention to the one-piece frock OF
serge or velvet ornamented with
beaver, mink or opossum. The model
shown here is carried out in bottle
green serge trimmed with black vel
vet collar Collar and sleeves are
outlined with beaver and the back
gore and back of the waist are cut
In one to emphasize the princess
effect
In medium size the dress requires
|41h wards 44-inch material, with ss
yard velvet for the collar and yard
fur banding for the trimming.
Because of the irregular shape of
lseveral sections of the pattern 1t will
'be necessary to cut the costume from
an open width of the serge. There is
no, reason, however. why two open
widths should not be placed together
(two right or two reverse sides
facing) so that each section will be
cut in duplicate.
When the various pieces are placed
over the surface of the material it
will be found that there is left the
|veriest minimum of unused space.
The piecing for the front gore is first
placed into position on the selvage
edge nearest the cutter. Proceeding
toward the opposite selvage, place
the sleeve (there are two styles,
plain and fancy, then next to this
/ the back and back gore. To balance
fthe long panel of the back gore
arrange into position (returning to-
[ward the selvage nearest to the cut

<that falls over the hips and the col
BAR. Finally comes the front gore of
<the skirt. All of the various sections
are placed on lengthwise thread of
lmaterial
Embroidered medallions may be
effectively used at either side of the
rass as well as tabs of SELMA

her work efficient and to practice
economy. Safety is not less a scien-
tific endeavor than to save money
and promote comforts in the home"
These words of Mrs. Frank A. Pat
tison, manager of the Household Ex-
pertinent Station of the New Jersey
Federation of Women's Clubs, lends
new emphasis to a report just issued
which shows that during the past
year more than 1000 children died
as a result of eating the tips of
matches. Matches caused $50, 900, 000
damage by fire during the same
period. The same report states that
less than per cent. of all the fires
are caused by electricity.
Electricity's advantages in the
home begin with safety first; then
comes health, control, comfort and
convenience. Next to safety from
accidents comes health. The illum-
inant absorbing the least amount OF
oxygen is undoubtedly the best. AS
the electricity is generated in the big
power plant at high pressure, it GER
tainly isn't a play toy-neither Is
steam at high pressure-but as II
reaches into the home it Is quite
harmless.

Diary of a Well
Dressed Girl

A letter certainly can turn ones
plans topsy-turvy. I had made all
arrangements to spend this week
with Marjorie Crawford when Helen
wrote that she and Eliot would be
home from their honeymoon trip on
Thursday, and that her mother
wanted the entire bridal party to be
on hand for the reception. Having
been Helen's honor maid | had to
postpone the visit to Marjorie's and
think about making a dress for the
reception
l found out from Helen's mother
that the affair would be held on the
lawn, and I wanted frock that
would be sufficiently warm to go
without a coat.
So 1 sent for Mr., Mathon to
come up and help me make it.
asked her to buy blue taffeta-one of
the new, soft tones of blue-and some
cream lace with which to trim the
| bodice.
She arrived a day later, and we i'm
mediately began the frock. She in
sisted that | have tight-fitting
NO0iNNy ihdoO oCftiClJ pidll, with
nothing but lace sleeves and a bit Of
lace about the neck, to relieve the
! severity of the lines. l tried to dis
| courage her idea, but she refused to
make 1t any other way, promising to
bear the consequences of my wrath
should 1t prove a failure.
I'll confess that I dreaded to try on
the bodice after she had basted the
seams together, and was not at all
enthusiastic, as she explained how
very stunning 1t would be when she
had corded the annholes and the neck
line
l became so absorbed in the making
of the skirt that l forgot about the
bodice until Mrs. Mathon had com
pleted it all but the finishing.
Then I had to admit that it really
was charming. When she fastened it
up the back-I understand that many
of the smartest froeks open down the
back-it fitted me as if l had grown
into It.
The large armholes permitted the
lace to extend several inches under
the arms and the sleeves were grace
fully wide. Mrs. Mathon had fitted
strips of the lace smoothly down each
side of the low pointed neck line
both back and front-and had fin
ished the bottom OF the poulce with
a cording of the silk.
Then 1 tried on the skirt, and after
properly fitting the foundation she
adjusted the overskirt. This IS quite
full, and is short in front and back,
forming long points at each side To
conflne the fullness over the hips she
shirred the sides of the tunic for sew
eral inches below the waist line.
A corded edging serves to distend
the overskirt Just enough to make 1t
smart, and the same form of trim
ming adds an effective finish to the
hem of the foundation.
Mrs. Mathon viewed the frock with
very evident satisfaction when | had
dressed for the reception, and l hum
bly, acknowledged that she knew what
she was talking about when she sug-
gested the way that 1t should be
made.

Value of the kindergarten

The value of the kindergarten, as
tested by It's results, is discussed by
Miss A. M. Winchester in an annual
review of kindergarten work, just
issued by the commissioners of educa-
ton.
For several years Investigations
have been undertaken in different
cities" says the review, for the pur-
pose Of ascertaining the advantage
gained by children with kindergarten
training over kindergarten chill
dren. The emphasis in these investi-
cations has been placed usually upon
the rate of speed with which the chill
dren make the successive grades.
"The fallacy of drawing conclusions
from such surveys" says Miss Win
chester, lis manifest at once. 1t is
well-nigh impossible to gauge the
speed correctly, because in the first
grade both kindergarten and non
kindergarten children are placed to-
gether and by the rule of uniformity
which seems necessary in school sys-
tens, the teacher unconsciouSly
standardizes the progress of her class.
of conscientious work, and the for
ward ones are held In leash, SO that
by the time the fifth or sixth grade
is reached, whatever special impetus
may have resulted from the child's
kindergarten training has ceased to
be measurable.
I'm any event the permanent value
of the kindergarten has little II any
connection with the number of years
required to go through the grades.
The kindergarten's concern Is with
the content of the years rather than
with their number; with the fullness
of the life of the child rather than
with the economy of time. Power to
think and do, tendency to assume
right attitudes toward life, and abil-
ity to work and play happily with
ones fellows-these are the results
of training based upon the belief in
education by development"
An investigation about to be under
taken by the Intern it,on9l Eindei :
garten in this Aeld Miss Winchester
points out, will involve making a
study in several different cities of one
set of children who entered kinder
garten five years ago and another set
| in the same school who did net at
tend kindergarten. The records of
| these children will be examined with
reference to their interests,
attitudes, spirit toward one another
and with reference TO their prof1ci-
ency in school studies. The quality
and spirit of the teachers of these
children as well as the quality and
spirit of the homes from which The
children come will be taken into con-
sideration.

Blapkie was black kitten and
Gyp a puppy. and they lived in the
same house and played together a
great deal, but Blackie had sharp
claws and when Gyp did not do
things to please her Blackie some-
times let him feel them.
One day Blackie found the door to
the pantry open and a big dish of
cream on the shelf. She looked at 1t
with longing eyes, and even Tapped
a little of it.
"If l drink all of it," she thought,
"the cook will look for me, l am
sure, for this is for breakfast. She
must have forgotten to put it away"
Blackie took another taste and then
she thought of something. "Tl get
Gyp in here and make him drink
what I leave. Then the cook will
think he drank the whole of IT,"
OFF she ran to find Gyp, but he was
doing in the sun, and besides that
he did not like cream, so he did not

should, and she gave him q box on
the ears with her paw, at the same
time thrusting out her sharp claws
until poor Gyp cried out with pain.
Then he jumped up and ran for the
house. Blackie following and hump

Gyp ran under tho stove in the
kitchen and Blackie tried to drive
him out.
"Will you help me get the cream?''
she asked, looking very fierce. You
will get half and it is very sweet and
smooth"

watch me eat, then" said Blaclsie

Gyp was completely fooled by her
smooth tongue, and he followed her
into the pantry.

shelf where the dish of cream stood.
Gyp sat on the floor and watched
her, and Blackie was so absorbed in
the cream that she forgot about Gyp
II don't see any fun in this for me,
he thought. II will go out by the stove
where it is warm"
He stretched himself out by the
stove with his nose toward the pam
try, when suddenly something moved
on the pantry floor, then 1t seemed to
slide in and out9 around the boxes
and Gyp was interested.

Concerning the Low Neck

Women want to be comfortable and
have come to believe that one way is
to have their waists cut low at the
neck. In fact, some are worn so low
that they excite comment.
Some of the new waists are made
with high collar.
But most women want their throats
free all the year round. They have
become accustomed to this freedom.
and it is annoying to wear close,
high collar. But there's a limit.
Vulgarity is a relative term, and
slight departure from the rigid Puri-
tan models of earlier days may be
tolerated, but some go to extremes;
even il thoughtlessly. the effect upon
observers is none the less Disagree
able, not. to say disgusting in some
instances. -.--s-.-..-.-

A Readers Idea for Birthday

Ny dear Miss Doom:
In a week my little girl will be
eight years old, and as l am thinking
of giving her a surprise party, am
coming to you for a little advice and
help. There will be about a dozen
children all about eight or ten years
Of age. What do you think OF this ar

to the respective plates and tied to
place cards. To the end of the ribbon
attached to the golden rod would also
be tied a little favor for each child,
and when the refreshments were all
eaten to have each child draw its
ribbon and thus pull out the plum.
paper tablecloth and napkins with
golden rod design and a fancy yellow
snapper for each guest.
As refreshments, thought of serving
graham bread sandwiches, with
cream cheese and olive filling; also
white bread with chicken (minced) on
lettuce leaf, small cakes and cookies
(hovne made), salted walnuts, tiny
candies, Ice cream (vanilla). and, OF
course, tho homemade birthday layer
cake.
How about this peanut game? Have
three children at time each roll a
peanut across the room in a straight
line until all have had a chance, and
the ones reaching the other side first
in each heat to run off another heat,
the winner in the last heat to receive
small prize? BBHIhA.
Suggestions from mo would be out

that everything will turn out fine,
and 1t will be one of the happiest
parties that little Miss Eight-year-
old ever had.
