Among the Chinese a particular
species of dog is said to be reared for
the table. It is small dog of a
greyhound shape with a muzzle much
more elongated than in terriers. The
flesh OF black dogs is preferred to
that Of animals of any other color
on account Of the greater amount Of
nutriment the black dogs are supposed
to possess.

children's Dresses.

Combination ideas are much used in
new models for children, the little
cOatees or bodices being Of plain fab
rics. and the skirt and trimmings OF
fancy material or silk. The MILDLY
idea is used, as well as sailor dresses
with novelty collars, cuffs and shields,
Russian blouses, cOatees and pleated
effects and guimpes and suspendeT
skirts with white or silk waists are
also much in evidence. Sashes and
belts are used, some being of self
material, others of silk and leather.
Wash dresses are in plque, cordaline,
linen, rep and chambray in white and
In plain colors. Many Of these are
simply trimmed with hand or machine
embroidery. Many are made in high
WASTED empire effect. A few have the
belt placed slightly above the normal
waistline, and others at the normal or
few inches below that point.

LINGERIE OF MERIT

"Underthings" and negllgee gnr-
nents are quite as important TO the
well-dressed woman as are the suits,
gowns and coats Of her wardrobe. She
knows that smart dressing must have
correct foundation, and that such n
foundation never consists of poorly
made, ill-fittlng undergarments. Per-
sonal daintlness demands that a real
pride he taken In the material and
make Of lingerie and negligee apparel,
and while there Is rarely MS quick and
radical a revolution in the style lines
of these garments as is realizSd fire.
quently In outer apparel, certainly un-
dergarment styles do change and each
season sees the introduction of many
novelties.
Sheer silks and very soft, plIable
satins are well liked for undergur-
ments by many women, while for real
hOt-weather wear the thin cottons-
batlste, net, etc.-are generally pre-
ferred.
White batiste and muslin under
garments are correctly trimmed with

! coIonized by the Dutch, who were sue
ceeded by the English. Then came the
Danes, who have held the island
since 1911 st. John was settled by
the Danes in 1854.
Both the Dutch and English settled
st. CroiX in 1925, and In later years the
island was ruled by Spaniards aud the
French. In 1858 Louis XIV sold st.
CroiX to the knights of Malta, and
they in turn gave way TO the French
West India company in 1865.
The island proved to be a poor in
vestment and was abandoned by the
French in 1875, the whole population
going to Santo Domingo. st. Croix
was virtually uninhubited until 1873,
when the French sold the islands to
the king of Denmark for S371,OOO.
The early prosperity Of st. Thomas
was due to the fact that IN 1854 the
Danes declared it free port, to which
all vessels might come. St Thomas at
once became Il distributing point for
much Of the West India trade and for
many years an immense business was
carried on there. Now there is a pos
sibility that new and perhaps bright
er chapter viii be added to the mari
time history of the port.
From the deck Of a vessel In the
harbor the town Of Charlotte Amalle is
suikingly beautiful, covering three
spurs Of mountain clad in tropical
foliage. From the heights above the
town one may see on n clear day the
islands Of Porto Rico, Bieques or the
Crab, and st. Croix in the distance, and
there are many other extensive views.
Sir Frederick Treves, the famous
British surgeon, in his book, "The
Cradle of the Deep" calls Charlotte
Amalie the most picturesque town in
the whole sweep Of the Windward
islands.
THE walls of the houses" he says,
"are for the most part dazzling
white. Some are yellow or gray or
certain of them are blue, The
roofs are always a generous bright
red. Between the houses and over
the roofs are clumps Of
green trees Here and there can be
seen stone stairs climbing up through !
.he town, gardens. with creeper-cov- !
cred walls, tufted palm, many
lrched arcade, the balustrades of |
shady terraces. Viewed from the sea
Charlotte Amalie would seem to be
place for those who make holiday-all
gayly tinted villas and palaces, where
he factory chimney, the warehouse
md the wOeful suburb are unknown"
st. Thomas was a famous retreat Of
buccaneers, one Of whom was Teach,
II Blackboard, who had IA wives.
Sir Frederick tells how Master
Teach was killed in a bloody duel on
he deck of his ship, and how his con-
ueror, Lieutenant Maynard Of II. M.
!. Pearl cut off his head and hung it
N the bowsprit Of his sloop. with
his strange ornament swinging from
he bows" he adds, "and with 13 pi-
ates safe in the hold, Maynard set sail
or Bath Town in North Carolina,
Iere the Is We're promptly hanged"
All of the Danish islands are Of vol
anic origin and surrounded by coral
eefs. The surface Of the land varies
rom low coast plains to mountains,
ut springs and streams are not plen-
full and at times the country has
Uttered severely from drought.

/ alarming rate.
The decrease of populatiOn-most of

Absentee landlordism, combined with
land monopoly, has induced poverty
and dlscontent in the islands, and the
people have cast enviOus eyes upon
Porto Rico, from which they are sep
aruted by only few miles of water.
They have seen Porto Rico and her
people llouriShing under American
rule, while the sugar plantations Of
their own islands have steadily YIELD
ed less, and individually the people
have become poorer. The result is
that many negroes have emigrated
from the Danish West Indies to Porto
Rico and the United States, and hav-
Ing tasted the benefits Of American
government they are undoubtedly
willing that their brothers still under
Danish rule should change their allie
glance.
It would hardly be fair to accuse the
Danes Of nisrule in the West Indies
Their failure, which Is acknowledged
by their willingness to sell their trop-
ical possessions, has been due to vari-
GUS causes, economic and social. It
was not many years ago that the Brit
ish government had to make grants to
several Of its colonies in the West In
dies in order to avert financial disas-
ter, and the Danish islands have had
to contend with the same economic
conditions, while possessing fewer ma
tural resources than the British
islands.
If the United States takes control of !
st. Thomas, st. CroiX and st. John it
IS probable that they viii again be-
come prosperous. The black man will |

now new capital will go in, and the
sugar growers will have better facili-
ties for marketing their crop-the sta
pie product Of the islands. And the
ISLANDERS themselves will feel quite at
home with officials who speak English.
for they have always refused to use
Danish, the language Of their rulers.
The Danish islanders have a meas
ire of self-government, and it is rea-
'onable to assume that they would de-
nand similar rights from the United
States.
Like all islands Of the West Indies
he Danish possessions have had
.heCkered history. They changed
lands several times in the days when
he nations Of Europe fought for sea
