There is actually no part Of the ap-
parel of women, from head to feet, in
which ribbons are not playing promi-
nent role this season. The patron
saint of weaving, or the goddess Of the
looms, appears to have turned espe-
cial attention to the fostering of this
particular article of adornment. The
result is that the beauty of ribbons
has compelled attention and inspired
their universal use. They crown the
head and clothe the feet and touch up
all the belongings of womankind.
Just few of the pretty things that
have kept the ribbon business brisk
are shown in the picture given above.
These include a pair of boudoir slip
pers with heels, and pair without
them, a pair of CATERS with small
pendant sachet bag, and a ribbon bag.
The last is suited to many purposes,
but is found chiefly useful for carry
ing the necessary accessories to eve
ming parties. There is an immense
variety in ribbon bags, including those
made for shopping and those for hold
ing gloves, handkerchiefs, slippers,

Unpreparedness as a
National Policy Is
hdefensible
By Judge CLARENCE ]. SEEARN,
Supreme Court of New York

IT seems odd that in any self re-
specting nation, where patriot
ism prevails, there should be
any general sentiment in favor Of
unpreparedness or against prepar-
edness. AMONG THOSE WHO
ESPOUSE THE TENETS OF
QUAKERS SUCH A POSITION
is LOGICAL AND PERHAPS
DEFENSIBLE.
But for the great bulk of practi-
cal, common sense Americans, while
the sentiment is to be respected
where it is honest and sincere, un-
preparedness as a national policy
seems to me to be both illogical and
indefensible.
IN THE ORDINARY ACTIVITIES
OF LIFE NO RATIONAL BEING
WOULD ARGUE AGAINST CON-
PLETE PREPAREDNESS.

don Times.
In Eddystone islands, where Doctor
Rivers spent several months some
years ago, nearly every disease is
ascribed to the infraction of a taboo
on the fruit Of certain trees, espe-
cially the cocoanut and betel vine, the
taboo as well as the sign by which
it is known being called KENO.
When anyone suffers from epilepsy
or other conclusive seizure which is
recognized as kirengge he and his
friends consult one known to have
the, power of imposing the KENO iir-
engge. This man visits the patient
and strokes him from the head
downwards with four leaves called
myou, some moss, SCOT, and scrap
ings of wood, uttering the formula;
Stroke away. Stroke down and
away. Cease thou. Let the man
live; do not return. They have given
me a good ring" The last clause Of
removing the taboo refer to the fee,

sands of foreigners of great wealth
and social position to these shores,

money with them to enjoy the gay

manner take seat at the restaurant

gins to figure up the size of the tip

said to be so large from these for
eigners that the walters are almost
on the verge of nervous prostration.
Strange, too, not long ago the man
who hid his face behind beard was
looked upon by the serving men as a
tightwad. Gascon gave him the once

man with whiskers with smile and
