CARDINAL MERGER
 WILL GO TO ROME
Berlin Assures PreIate No Obstacle Will Be Raised As to His Return
 to Belgium.

Rome, January 7.-The Bel gian minister to the Vatican has been informed that Cardinal Mercier, pri mate of Belgium, intends to leave for Rome after presiding at the consecra- tion, to take place in day or two, of the new bishop of Tournai.
 Cardinal Mercier abandoned the idea of coming to Rome last month for the consistory because he was un- able to obtain guarantees that he would be permitted to return to Bel gium. Having applied to General Von Bissing, military governor of Bel gium for guarantee, he was informed that they could come only from Ber- lin, although the general gave him such assurance as he could. The re- sponse from Berlin came too late to enable the cardinal to attend the con

There is a young girl who passes my window every morning on her way to work, who always has de- lightfully chic appearance. She wears very simple clothes, but they have an air. She could walk down Fifth Avenue and not look dowdy, which to my mind is the supreme test
 You may be thinking that her clothes, though simple, are probably very expensive. You are wrong. l thought so, too, until l found that she was a stenographer with com- paratively little money to spend on herself. I've studied her since then and I've come to the conclusion that it is simply because she has the touch.
 What The Touch is
 What do I mean by the touch: Well, for instance, Gone can often de- fine a thing better by instances) when other girls were bemoaning the fact that their furs opened in the front and hence looked hopelessly old-fash- toned or even before they had sensed that fact, this girl had fur bished up her old fur by cutting off the worn edges and twisted it around to open at the proper angle under her left ear
 Again, her veil is always hung at just the right angle, and I defy any one to tell anything that gives more style to a costume than veil draped at the very latest angle.
 I Call This An Admirable Quality.
 We were talking about this girl the other day and I said how much admired this quality in her.

From Styles to Tact

admirable about picking up the latest styles" said my companion rather sniffly.
 I do. For the ability to do that presupposes a habit which most of us cultivate too little-the habit of observation.
 No girl who wasn't alert and ob- serving, with eyes that not only looked at but saw what was before them, would pick up the little tricks, of style as this girl does.
 I don't know her personally, but have heard that she is quick and alert in her office work and live and interesting in her social life, and l don't wonder Observation stores the mind with interesting things and makes its possessor interesting and worth knowing.
 Tact is An Outcome of Observation.
 Furthermore, observation goes hand in hand with tact. Or perhaps l would better say, tact is a spiritual development of the habit of observa- ton. It is the unobserving people who are always making breaks say ing and doing the little unkird things that they would know better than to say or do if they had thelr eyes and their minds open. It is the observing person who notices how It pleases Mrs. A. to be asked about her plants and how touched Mrs. B. is by any inquiry for her mother.
 I wish the habit of observation could be taught in our schools. If it could be introduced not only as separate mind exercise but as a part in | our children would be the gathers.

The other day I bought stunning looking untrimmed hat and, of course after it had arrived I was ir despair. | never have trimmed a hat, and hadn't the faintest idea what would look well on it, except some frightfully expensive Paradise plumes, and those I refused to buy. The crown was slightly pointed in front and back, having a large brim that went high up on one side. Everything l thought of would have spoiled the lines. so when Frances came in she and I brought out ali my old hats and then I suddenly had an inspiration. I took two long. uncurled ostrich feathers. shaded from white to an almost black taupc. sewed them where the high part ot the brim bent into the crown, and continued them across and down, sewing them fiat and letting the ends spread out to curl under the brim. The lines are unaltered, and the effect is lovely.

the present interference with trade
Is being carried out. There has been
an agitation in England for a formal
blockade. The previous objection
that the British navy could not block
ade the Baltic coasts of Germany be-
cause the German fleet controls the
Baltic, and that under international
law or usage the whole coasts OF
country must be blopkaded to make
blockade effective, is now held IN
valid because of the British subma-
rine successes in the Baltic. Britain,
it>is urged. should proclaim subma-
rine blockade in the Baltic and thus
regularize the position. The princi-
pal argument for a blockade Is that
Americans, whose memories or the
stamp act and the tea tax render the
name of order in council odious to
them, could not regard with similar
hostility a blockade similar in form to
the one they themselves maintained
against the south.
The reason why a blockade will not
be declared to please America cam
not be stated Officially 1t is this:
America would not recognize a
blockade unless the submarines in
the Baltic seriously tried to stop
Scandinavian trade with Germany.
Such q policy would mean economic
ruin for Germanys little nelghDors,
and would almost certainly result in
Sweden at least joining the Germanic
alliance. This would as has been
said. constitute serious menace for
Russia, and consequently Russia
would never consent to British driv-
ing Sweden to extremes. Since the

moves by North Sea neutrals, and of

 Information up to April, 1916, col Iected by the bureau from month to month from the same sources and published in it's Monthly Review shows that the level reached in De- cember, 1915, has been maintained, with slight declines in February and March, followed by a recovery Tn April.
 To show the changes and results of changes in retail prices of food for a period of 26 years, from 1890 to 19l2, inclusive, a table is given in this bull letin prepared from figures appearing in preceding reports and bulletins, presenting the average price of each article and the average amount of each article that could be bought for s1, each year of the period, except for two articles-sirloin steak and rib roast-for which satisfactory data were available only for the years 1907 to 1915.

FAKE CHARITIES.

The Boston chamber of commerce has bureau which investigates charitable schemes, with a view of protecting it's business men from im- proper solicitation. In two months It looked into 121 different schemes, and reported only seven worthy ones. There were "112 propositions which by ordinary standards of business and eff ficiency must be regarded as unde- serving, and of this number an aston ishingly large percentage was out and-out fakes"
 Even in many cases where the ob- iect seemed legitimate, it was evident that the chief motive back of the scheme was to provide somebody with profitable employment. An illuminat- ing incident was the discovery of a solicitor of charitable funds, "part professional and part crook the re- port calls him, who had bought $10,- 900 home and was preparing to retire from business, we'll fixed for the rest of his life.
 "Organized charity" is often criti- cised and condemned. 1t does seem sometimes to work in heartless way, to rate efficiency higher than hu- fna<ity, to substitute mechanism for kindness. Yet such investigations as that of the Boston chamber of com merce always demonstrate the essen tial merit of using business sense and bushes methods in the distribution of charitable funds. It is proved over and over again that promiscuous, ln- discriminate giving is wrong-that in- stead of confining it's relief to deserv- ing cases and helping people to helr themselves it wastes money and makes paupers.

 1 Poultry-raisers in western Europt are said to have been acquainted with the possibilities in this direc' tion for a long time and have beer taking advantage of them to z marked extent. In addition to the experience of the Europeans, the Audubon societies have had an ex. pert examine into the question - where stock can be secured, what kind of surroundings are necessary, the construction of breeding pens, kind of food for the fowl at various ages and dangers to be avoided.
 The demand for information on wild-fowl raising has grown so great, it is reported, that the National As- sociation of Audubon Societies, at 1874. Broadway, New York City, has put the results of it's study of the question into an attractive twenty fve-cent book which is said to be .n great demand among farmers al :! poultry raisers.
