Every time February 18th comes
around it is a backward magazine thai
can't run a frontispiece to its leading
article of hitherto unpublished por-
trait of Abraham Lincoln" If some en-
terprising wag from the West could only
comb the country for all the hitherto
unpublished portraits of Lincoln and get
them all out in book form in one crash
ing issue, he would not only make his
fortune but would deal the February
issues of magazines for years to come a
crushing blow. They would have to fall
back on the Balkan situation again.
Edward NJ. Stanton, busy as he was
in the War Department, is still on pic
torial record as having devoted no fewer
than 800 days out of possible 800 to
his daguerreotyper, while General Grant
must have had to have his meals
brought to him at the entrance to his
tent, so that the photographers could file
past and get their pictures of him. It
must have been big relief to him when
he became President and could go in
doors to be taken.
And what makes this national move
ment toward the camera obscura still
more mysterious is the realization OF
what an ordeal it must have been. 1t
was none Of your present-day sittings,
where everything is done to make the
patient as comfortable as could be ex-
pected. 1t was a thing to be prayed over
and undertaken calmly, soberly, and adj
visedly. To-day, it is perfectly permits
sible to have your picture taken in
soft collar. 1t isn't even necessary to
shave. for in the more expensive photo
graphs your face is always in the
shadow from the freight, or averted
from the camera and looking out at a
iormer window, so that you could even

would come to an end after the sensational
trial. But that trial never took place. Inc

order from the Gar arrived which nipped the
trial in its bud and freed Manuiloy.
This was the first time in the history oil
Russian law that case was dropped after
the prosecution had it all prepared for trial.
The emotions that the Cars decree provoked
in Russia can hardly be described. The dark
forces" triumphed over the law, the Cabinet,
and the people. Rasputin was evidently still
in possession Of all his power. Manuilov, the
arch charatan, again regained his mighty in

the apparently Unsuitable demand fog
photographs of one kind or another; It
was an appetite, like the craving foe
drink or Camembert cheese. 1t was some
thing that got hold of a man subtly at
first; perhaps he began by having his
picture taken with a group, just to be
sociable. He might fall in with a few
friends, who would say:
Come on, Eben; let's nave a daguer-
reotype taken
And, rather than offend or seem ofish,
Eben would go in with them and line up
IN front of the camera.
Then gradually he would get to drop
ping into the studio alone. Perhaps some
times, in the middle of the work in his
office, he would sneak down the back
stairs and make for the nearest photog-
rapher's and have a picture taken of
himself holding a hoop, just to brace
himself up for the rest of the after
Moons work.

WE OF TODAY are supposed to have
w great deal more time to our
selves than the workers Of the
last century. We have our eight-hour
working day Cbe it never so basic), reg
nation summer vacations, Saturday at
ternoons off, and, in a short month,
eight or ten legal holidays. And yet, for
al the fact that they must have been
kept buster than we are, the men Of that
period seemed to have had peculiar
and inexplicable amount of leisure time
in which to perform a rite which the
man of this decade can perform but
seldom. They were never so rushed or
overworked or preoccupied but that
they could drop into photographers
once or twice a week and have their
pictures taken.
From the number of portraits, da-
gerreotypes. and cabinet photographs
which are unearthed every time an an
niyersary comes around, or a man over
fifty becomes famous, there is no other
conclusion to be drawn than that it was
the custom in 1860 for a man to kiss
his wife and children after hurried
breakfast, dash to the photographer 5
and have his picture taken, snatch a
Quick lunch and look over the mail at
the Office. and then pound back to the
studio for another sitting before the

NEW YORK, March And now
Fashion has put the Indian sign on
usei
Seems sort of like taking candy
from a child to take our fashions
from the Indians when about all the
poor things have to their backs is a
blanket and a string OF beads.
But oh, these gorgeous hued blan-
kets that the Maya Indians weave in
Guatemala are much too beautiful
to be wasted on the primitive fast
nesses of Central America.
The possibilities OF an ordinary
blanket see exhausted after you have
used it as covering for body, bed or
horse. The possibilities of the Maya
blankets. loosely woven Of pure wool
and dyed in vivid and divers stripes
are almost limitless.
The Mayas know how to make EN-
but the fashion experts know how to
use EN-, as is evidenced by recent
showing of Maya models in a famous
New York and Philadelphia depart
ment store
Loose wraps of oyster white and
bisQue shantung are lined through
out with the gorgeous Maya blankets.
Beach and summer suits of white,
grey and ecrue silk have vivid Maya
blanket touches on collar. cuffs peck
cts and lapels. Sport skirts entirely
evolved from Maya blankets, with
their rainbow bars Of color make you
long to be behind the bars.
These blankets as we'll as the en-
broiders which resemble the primitive
\ embroideries of the Russian peasants
are all made by the Mayas on hand
looms and because the looms are very
narrow, the blankets are all made in
half widths with a central seam.
Next to the blankets as attractive
trimming touches the embrooideries
find place and are used on costumes
in the same manner as collars, cuffs
and pockets The embroiders also
make stunning table and cushion
| covers and bands of embroidery are
used effectively as borders on para
soils, hat trimmings, hand bags and
blouse adornments.
Silken scarfs, soft of weave and
color, another product Of the Maya,
hand looms, are fashioned into stun
ming blouses, girdles and are also
used in their natural state to be knot
ted around fair shoulders or hal
crowns.
4 Not all of the Maya blankets, scarf'
and embroideries are IN riotous col
orings either. These wonderful abO.

shown themselves most considerate o

severe WINTER on
ROADS OF COUNTY
Alternate Freezing and
Thawing Has Cut Up
Many Highways
HEAVY TRUCKS
ALSO DAMAGE

This winter is the worse winter on
roads this section of the country has ex-
perienced in a long time, according to
the office of County Engineer James
Wilson The alternate freezing and
thaNiug have played havoc with the dirt
roads throughout the country. while
even the stone roads have undergone
considerable damage, due in eleat part
to the heavy motor trucks which are
driven over them.
Complaints have been coming in to
Mr. Wilson's Office in increasing number
this week, and the county engineer is
atfording relief whore it is most needed
by spreading cinders ON those dirt roads
made impassable by the mud. a make
shift expedient, but the best that can
lie done under tue circumstances. Dirt
roads in places are So deep in md that
automobiles sink below the hubs and le-
c.Ine stalled for hours at TINT. Some
roads in Christiana hundred rs well as
some i'm Brandywine hundred have al
ready been treated with cirders. This
Norl, is being done by the read super
visors of the hundreds under the ilrec-
ton of Engineer Wilson's srliI
An example of how the stone roads
are being injured by heavy loads has
been brought to the attention of Mr.
Wilson's office. A truck carrying a load
of eleven tons, which, with the weight
of the truck, made a total weight OF
1000 pounds to the inch of tire tread
was driven over section of stone road
in the county. The steam rollers which
are used in the construction of tn
roads, have q weight of only 450 OF
GOO pounds to the square inch of tread
The excessive weight, it Dis said, brushes
the stone and breaks the bond which
holds the stones together. This indis-
eliminate use of the roads by these
heavy trucks viii mean a vast amount
OF road work in the spring.
One complaint received at the office
today came from n person interested in
the Home for Tubercular COlored PeO-
pie, at Edgewood. The road from
Aiitcheps Crossing to Edgewood, one
half mile in length, is impossible Even
the physician cannot get to the building
it is said, nor can provisions or supplio'
he delivered there. The half-mil
stretch Of road is deep in mud and there
is not even a footpath along which q
fairly dry and mudlcss passage TO tho
house can be made. Mr.. Wilson di
rected that temporary relief in the form
of a, layer of cinders on the road b
afforded the home.

Blankets, Gaudy and Rich
TO be New Fad This YEA

the fashionable wants of 1917 Ameri-
can matrons and bachelor maids OF
years Of discretion and 50 they have
almost as great an output OF en-
broideries done entirely in black and
white or gray and white, blankets
striped in the same neutral monotones
and scarfs woven in plaids and stripes
Of the same. Therefore every one can
be smart and all Mayed up and still
cling to her color scheme of life.
All tho blankets, scarfs and large
pieces OF embroidery shown on the
brought direct from the Indian tribes
of Guatemala but the most OF the em-
broidery landings are modern Man
haitian manipulations Of Maya meth
DDS, designs and colorings.
You can now buy ribbons at the rib
bon counter and embroidery landings
at the trimming counter, that will
furnish up your last summer suit to
the last word in modish Mayaism.
Silks by the yard in Maya designs
and cOlorings are also being manu-
featured and stockings embroidered
in Indian symbols are by no means at
the foot of the Mala list Of fashionable
fads. The ribbons and embroidered
bands manufactured here are really
( beautiful and almost defy detection
when placed side by side with Indian
originals.
But If you want a blanket touch,
much as I hate to be a wet blanket,
am constrained to tell you that you'll
( have to go to Guatemala for it. Or
rather the house that is making Maya
specialties will have to import one for
you. 1t strikes me it would be almost
as simple to import a Maya instead.
/ Think how handy It would be to have
a little Maya in your home busily
weaving your blankets for you while
you wait.
The main point is that we have to
be good Indians this season. At pres
ent a Maya costume is more swagger
/ than a Poiret model, a Maya bonnet
than a Georgette chapeau. At the be
ginning of the war Paris trembled lest
New York usurp her laurels as the
fashion center of the world. Who
could have dreamed that her mantle
of fashionable greatness would have
descended on Guatemala in Central
America instead and in descending
turn into an Indian blanket.
