WORLD MISSION OF cHIvALRy
OF Much Worth II Only to Create the
Useful Romance Of
Action.

Chivalry served to draw out and de.
velop those free. bold spirits whose
talents could not have been evoked by
the disputations of the schoolmen nor
the notifications of the religious zeal
OTIS. says the Engineering Magazine. II
created romance of action to match
the saints moral paradise and evoked
poetry and the arts to celebrate it's
charms. The love of the beautiful
which it begot caused hospitable re-
ception to Be given in Europe to the
refinements brought from the East, by
the returning crusaders, which caused
the first slight stirring of international
trade.
The enthusiasm which the many
sided ideal Of chivalry evoked with
its galaxy Of virtues, may be seen, in
literature, in the unfolding of the
themes of the simple Aryan folk tales
and the prose romances OF the twelfth
and thirteenth centuries, into the SEN
suous beauty of Proveneal poetry and
the deiicacy and pathos Of Plutarch
and Dante. Chivalry embellished with
romance the lives of its half-legendary
founders. Charlemagne, Siegfried and
Arthur. 1t supplied the conception Of
virtue sung In Chaucer's Pilgrimage,
Malory's "Morte D'Arthur" and Spen-
ser's "Faerie Queene." In the world
of action chivalry animated the cru
sades. dispensed justice throughout
Europe for 400 years, purified court
life and made much of the warfare of
the middle ages peculiarly humane and
noble. Its enthusiasm burned into
brilliancy in such characters as Rich.
ard and Blondel, the Black Prince and
his father. Tancred, Godfrey of Bouil-
Ion. CASTOR de Folk, Bayard and War

manders Of the Templars. the Knights

Special Correspondence Of The Star.
NEW YORK, November 26.-To the
strictly tailored suit, the strictly tai
lored blouse is Joined.
We no longer consider it in good
taste to annex an elaborate blouse
to a plain cloth suit. We have seen
the possibilities of the one-piece frock
of ilmy fabric, covered by a warm top
coat. and we have adopted it with
enthusiasm. greeting it as a brand
new innovation. and not as a garment
that was shelved as something outworn
and worthless when the coat and skirt
came into being.

to impose the single frock upon US;

lored suit. was the thing for our

the truth and strength of the belief.

in cutting the lining crosswise of the
goods. Cheap lining that is cut cross
wise will wear out more quickly than
when cut lengthwise. but when it
comes to giving a smart expression to
garment one should consider the
best method of cutting the goods
rather than how long the piece of cot
ton lining may wear.
In building q coat there are the outer
goods. the lining. the silk or satin
lining. and whatever interlining and
canvas the maker chooses to use be-
tween the lining and the outside goods.
The lining of coat should always be
looser than the outside. and dress
kers achieve this by taking a small
pIait in the maddle of the back at the
neck and by fulling the goods in 4

An ideal life is life where the
welfare of the entire being of man
is promoted; and where the best
of all good things, physically,
mentally and spiritually, are
brought out in abundance, into
actual, tangible living. An ideal
life is never one-sided, narrow,
nor fashioned after some artificial
mental picture. 1t is living the
whole of life as nature intended
that life should be lived here and
now. It is life that is all joy; an
existence that is sweet in every
sense of the term.-Nutshells of
