An American traveller in Russia
unearthcd a relic Of Catherine the
Great, which amusingly illustrates
the conservatism Of the Russians.
One day in crossing a bridge she
noticed that the half dozen wooden
images upon pedestals which orna-
mented it were weather worn. THE
statues must be repainted," she
said. The next day a painter was
set to work, and every year after
ward while the empress lived she
gave orders TO have them reprinted.
At her death it had become an es-
tablished annual custom, and today
the poor statues, covered with more
than a hundred coats Of vermilion
paint, have no resemblance to any
thing but ungainly blocks Of wood.

SIZE IN BASEBALL.

Positions Whsrs Bic or Little Men Are
Favored BY Managers
Size is regarded as very impor-
tant by many managers in their Sc
lection Of players for various posi-
lions. There are very few leaders
who look with favor on small men
as pitchers. True, major league rec
ords contain the names Of many
small men who we're star pitchers,
but the same records show that a
majority Of the stars were SIX foot
ers. Possibly this accounts for the
fact that managers seem to favor
big pitchers. Pitching a ball game
is a severe strain. and most man
ayers believe the big, husky fellow
is better able to stand the work
than an undersized man. Often a
promising recruit fails TO get the
attention he desires simply because
Of his lack Of size.
A good sized catcher also is usual.
" preferred to the man Of small or
average stature. Playing to pitch
ers with great speed and others who
use the spit ball almost entirely, or
to southpaws with a big curve and a
deceptive cross fire, keeps the catch
ers constantly in action. Another
reason a good sized catcher Is look
ed upon with favor BY the manager
is because most pitchers would
much rather work with a big fel-
low. The husky man offers a fine
target for the pitcher and usually
greatly helps him TO acquire con-
troll.
First base is another position
where the big rangy fellow gets the
preference. The reason, Of course,
is that the added height often
saves many wild throws that would
sail over the average
players head. 1t also aids him in
out for widely thrown balls
At short and second the little fell
low usually shines. Some of the
greatest shortstops and second base
men have been men very short Of
stature. The big or little fellow
seems to get along pretty well at
third, while in the outfeld size is
seldom given any consideration. 1t
is speed, judgment, fielding and bat
ting ability that count in this de-
partment.-Billy Evans in st. Mich

St. Nicholas And Christmas.

ew~HE origin OF the idea tnat PRES

Claus, probably originated from the
following circumstances: 81. Nicholas

and 70 have died IN the year SIG He
was noted Tor his fondness for chill
dren. and he became their patron saint,
and the young were universally taught
70 revere him. He IS said to have sup

NEW YORK, July 11.-To a fashion
reporter and to a public that likes
fashions there are few things more in
teresting than French gowns designed
during a dull season and sent out as
forerunners of what will probably come
to pass.
The buyers in Paris who look out for
their American firms snatch eagerly
at every one of the gowns which are
designed between February and the
middle of August. and they have i'm
pressed upon the designers the need of
a continuous stream of new ideas for
this country to offset the stagnation
in fashion which speedily comes~after
the sem-annual openings.
1t is true that France sends several
hundred models to us twice year, but
even her ingenuity at those seasons
does not keep US from having a long
period of depression in the time be-

June Gowns as Forerunners.

In time of peace Paris launched bril-
liant gowns in May and June. which
the astute observer knew were feelers.
If the French public took hold of them
they were repeated in other fabrics at
the August openings for the America
buyers. But there is no social season
in Paris during the war. and it has
been a bit difficult to persuade the
French designers to create gowns
without the assurance of a certain and
speedy market in this country.
However, about a hundred frockS
have been designed. and ! have had
the luck to receive batch of sketches
direct from the French designers; and
these, which are redrawn in this coun-
try. will be given here every day III or
d er that women who are not quite sure
of the coming styles viii have these
fo~arunners OF fashion as guides.
The sketch given today is signifi-
cant 1t was sent over as a fashion
that is bound to come, in the opinion
of Paris.
The skirt is long, sweeping in an
even line on the floor and covering
the feet 1t is the kind of skirt that
Lucille has been advocating in New

In the French model it is made up of
black and white lace, the three ruffles
edged with bright green ribbon which
