Admirers of the shepherds check fin cloths for tailored suits-and these are many-were given very great variety in models this spring to choose from. Those suits for which small checks were chosen, cut on simple, but carefully thought out lines, proved to be the most successful A great many of them were made with short waisted box coats. A less number had short jackets, and some of the smart est were designs in which semifitting coats figured. Skirts were nearly al ways plain, moderately wide and somewhat fiaring. The advance of the season proved that the suits of shep- herds check received a merited ap- preciation. The pretty spring suit be- comes the crisp midsummer suit by a variation of the shoes and hats worn with it, and is paying investment for street wear.
 One of them is illustrated here The perfectly tailoSed skirt is plain with moderate flare and cut instep length.

American Literature.

If one were asked what is the dom-
 inant tone in American literature and life, the answer would be youthful ness;' but this youth has attained all
 the vices of age, and has conserved
 a few of the charms proper to its period It Is a very disingenuous youth indeed. This insistence on 'boyish- ness is unhealthy; more, it is de- prayed. These boyish boys and girl ish girls of the writer and the artist are the indications of real cancer in American public life. Perhaps in
 portraying them the writers and illus trators are describing something which Is as true as it is detestable. The cult of youthfulness in America is a national calamity, far graver than
 anything for which Europe has to mourn. Youth has nothing to give life but its energy; it has even less to give literature, for literature is an expression of the spiritual truth which runs parallel with every mate rial experience. It is not the retail ing Of petty gossip about petty peo- pie; and when this youthful energy is divorced from the control of ma turity nobody can benefit from 1t ex-

JULIA BOTTOMLEY,
Smart Costume.

One of the smartest costumes for young women, exhibited on a living model at a recent opening, was of very pale tan worsted and mohair mixture, made with short, flare skirt, revealing the new slim black leather pump, guilt less of buckle or bow, and stockings of natural silk. A little coat, button ing high to the throat was sur mounted by very tall choker collar of white organdie with points reaching up over the cheeks and a broad stock of black satin holding it in place. The coat had belt and a plaited coattail at the back. This knowing spring cos tune was completed by tiny black satin hat with slashed sailor brim and a floating veil of black mesh with an allover vinet pattern.

Early in ike season hats having transparent brims made their appear ance. These brims were flat and mounted on braid crowns. They were made of malines, net, chiffon or thin crepe. Nearly always, embedded be- tween layers of such airy materials, flowers, with petals spread flat, added touches of lovely color. The effect is very pretty-and gave the hats their distinguishing uame-that of halo" hats-the embedded wreaths encircling the head like halo.
 So good an item of art in millinery was destined to outlast the early sea son and to introduce many transpar- ent hats for midsummer. The latter are made, crown and all, of the thin fabrics, and brims have grown wider. Flower and feather trimmings-but mostly fiowers-are mounted on the outside or underbrim instead of being embedded in the material
 A beautiful hat of this character is shown in the picture It is of black malines made over a frame of fine silk wire. The edge wire and one other are outlined on the underbrim by filter jet. There is an immense pompon of malines at the front with two long jet ornaments thrust ll 1t. Nothing could be prettier for midsurn- mer wear than this exquisite piece of millinery
 Hemp and leghorn hats, with fac ings of crape on the upper or under brims are among the loveliest offer ings in dress hats. Light pink crepe is the favorite color and hats of this character are among the best de signed for bridesmaids at June we'd dings One of them is shown in the illustration. It has a crown of hemp and its upper brim covered with crepe stretched smoothly over it, leaving the hemp as facing. It is trimmed

 Carved Out of Pink Rock.
 Petra was once an important trad ing station for the caravans that moved between Persia and Egypt, and India and the Holy Land and Syria. It is built in colossal bowl of pink, and it's palaces, temples and tombs are carved out of solid rock. Perhaps 1t is the Selah of the Old Testament. Certainly, some of it's carvings are 6,000 years old. It's walls preserve the history of architecture, for its struc- lures date from the days of cave men to the magnificent buildings of Greece and Rome, which were duplicated by the chisel, the theory being that it's wealthy citizens went out into the world, saw what was being built else where and hastened home with the artisans of many nations to reproduce in the living rock what they had seen built of blocks of stone.
 Today Petra has about thirty inhab- itants They live in temples and pal aces, and keep few goats, go beyond their city into the desert to trade with passing caravans, and, altogether, lead miserable fife. They are half-clad, half-starved and seem to be about half beast. They have made trouble for many travellers who attempted to visit them, for a legend survives that a Pharaoh of Egypt hid his country s treasures In the Kazneh, the beautiful building which is today known as Pharaoh's Treasure House. For many years they tried to keep white travel erS from entering the city, because

Defects in Eves

One of the marvellous gifts of the eye is the distinguishing of colors, and here most eyes are more or less de- fective. Many eyes otherwise effec- tive strangely do not convey to the brain from the retina by way of the optic nerve the reflected rays of light that make for either of the primary colors-red, blue and green-not to speak of the innumerable intermedi- ates, all due to the absorption. reflec- tion and transmission of rays of light of varying wave lengths. It might be said that we do not see objects at all, but only the myriad wavelets of luminiferous ether that are reflected from them.

when the treasure was found, they said, it belonged to them. But today they welcome visitors.
 Nominally, the city of Petra is a personal possession of the Sultan of Turkey and 1t is theoretically against the law to remove anything without his permission But there is nobody to stand watch and guard the historic treasures The ancient streets are strewn with Assyrian carvings, an- cient Hebrew coins and Roman re- mains Every traveller helps himself. and the natives assist him in his search, hoping to derive a few cents for their labor.
 In the center of the city there is a tall prong of stone. It's summit is ap- preached by carved winding stair way, the steps of which are still sharp At the top there is sacrificial stone and an altar and pulpit There are trenches for the blood of the sacrifice, and 1t is the theory that the ancient priests mounted this altar, performed service in the presence of the assem- bled eity-tens of thousands of it's peo- pie having been able to hear his voice distinctly, owing to the bowl forma- tion of the city.
 Great Amphitheater and Arena.
 There is an amphitheater capable of seating 5000 persons, carved from the rock, with a gigantic arena, and even private loges that are approached by secret subterranean passages also carved from the rock It Is the theory that city that could support such an arena for ornament must have been exceedingly prosperous and wealthy.
 But Petra has no certain history. It is known that after his visit there, the Emperor Hadrian ordered the carving of Fl Kazneh, but most of the buildings have no authentic record It

 Several clashes have already been reported from the border.
 Austrian troops attempted to invade Italian territory through the pass be- tween Pont di Legno and Pejo. Italian Alpine Chasseurs halted them at For celini di Montosso and drove them back across the border into Austria. The Austrian troops formed a from tier patrol. The Italian force was on a like mission. The encounter is the first skirmish of any importance be- tween the two forces.

The jacket is among the modest num- Der made with normal waist line, which rises little at the back, where plaits are depended from the belt. It is cut in points at the front, is longer than at the back and is shaped by small plaits laid in at each side. The belt terminates at these plaits.
 The shoulders are somewhat long and so are the plain coat sleeves. The flaring turnover collar is cut in three pieces and unusually we'll adjusted. Ball buttons in three sizes are used for fastening and trimming.
