would 1t be possible to have a
plant that would extract alcohol
from the air?" asks a South Carolina
newspaper which fears that under
the recent decision Of the United
States Supreme Court in the Webb
Kenyon law case the State legislature
may amend the prohibition law so
as to destroy the "gallon-a-month"
provision which has enabled the peo-
pie of the State, II the law has been
worked to the limit, to get along
with something like /, 800 900 gallons
a month, or about 19,O0O, 900 gallons
the year. A distinguished chemist
OF Washington was asked for an
answer to the newspaper inquiry,
and replied that wherever there IL
fermentation there is alcohol" which
is encouraging seeing that South
Carolina has been in a constant fer
ment on account OF the liquor ques-
ton since 1898, when brave old Ben
Tillman" put the State into the
whisky business, wholesale and re-
tail.

place in Fifth avenue.
Men are to wear "pleats and cores.
II seems. The information intrigues
US. We think we know what pleats
are. But what are cores? And where
are the cores to be worn? In the
coats? In the trousers? In the vests?
Slash pockets, IL seems, are also to
be worn.
And-we quote-"one tuxedo coat
had skyblue lining in its sleeves"
But here Is a still sweeter thought:
"a kimono effect sleeve in a street
suit IL one Of the feminine touches
to be affected"
II kimono sleeves, why not the full
kimono for Street wear. 1t Is not only
beautiful but comfortable. A few hun
dred thousands of yellow. red. blue,
white and green kimonos should give
to the streets of New York just the
color that they need. Clean-shaven
men. we suppose. will rouge when
Gents Kimonos come in: bearded men
will oil their boards and plait bright
ribbons in them.
So much for the street dress. In
the evening. We presume. men will
take to decollette. with ropes OF pearls
and all that sort OF thing.
After mems dress has been reformed
one can imagine the columns in which
social news is printed. They should
read something like this:
Mr.. jeremiah Blank was lovely in
an orchid colored umfalooloo, cut low
to show the purple veins in his
sinewy shoulders.
"Mr.: Murgatroyd Blink wore a dia-
mond dog collar and little diamond
pendants were fastened to the points
of his mustache which tinkled and
twinkled when he ate his soup. .
Mr.. James Bunk wore a cream
colored gazZam trimmed with elephant
breath gazinks that matched the color
of his eyes; he smiled charmingly and
chewed cloves throughout the cere-
mony.
Mr.. Jack Blenk was a very taking
best man, with orange blossoms
braided into his fetlocks and his dew
lap gilded to furnish a charming
background for the chain of opais
he wore about his neck. In his silk
hat, which he did not remove, were
three. black ostrich. plumes His
pretty trousers of heavy Chinese silk
were crimson in color. His dainty
suspenders of dove-colored satin were
gored and pleated here and there
with lozenges, and he has lately had
his coat OF arms in baby blue and
gold lacquered on his caulifower ear.
AS he walked up the aisle he appeared
nervous.
What we need in our modern life Is
more color. We depend upon tho
taiIors to furnish II. They are upon
the right track now II they only
