That Is the opinion Of a most casual
observer. The truth is that the
changes are more drastic than even
the reporters and prophets felt they
would be. Paris has been insidious
in introducing silhouette that Will

uses. unless they are altered by

What is known as the American
uniform was conspicuously lacking
during the first openings In Paris,
but Nine. Paquin, Doeuillet and Dire
coll came out with tailored suits that
met the expectations Of the American
buyers.
The Paquin ones were particularly
good, but no one style was emphasized.

A Curtain Hint.

The hot sun shining through the
glass always rots the bottom of the
curtain before the upper half is near
worn out. SO this spring, whatever new
curtains you get, make them with
hens Of equal size at both ends. Each
time before they are taken down to
wash, mark the bottom with thread.
Then when they are put up again,
put that end on the pole.

JUDGES WILL BE PAID MORE
Attorney General Brewster Declares
the Law making an Allowance
for Their Expenses Valid.

Beginning July /, those district
judges in Kansas known as Circuit
riders" will draw 5000 a year addition
al from the state to cover their trav-
cling expenses. The legislature made
an appropriation Of that kind~last Win
ter After the bill was passed there
was some question as to its consti-
tutionality. Governor Capper held it
up until he was convinced that II was
valid. Then he signed it.
Then the state auditor is not certain
about it. At least he was not until
the attorney general rendered an opin-
ion few days ago holding that the
law was valid.
An interesting question was in
volved. The state constitution pro-
vides that the salary Of a judge or
state officer can neither be increased
nor diminished during the term for
which he was elected. Was the 5000
appropriated for travelling expenses an
increase in compensation? That was
the point raised In the past judges
on the circuit districts-that is dis
tricts having more than ore county
have paid their own expenses. To a
layman it looked as if the 5000 ex-
pense money was an increase in COM
pensation. But the attorney general
ruled that it was not compensation.

VANISHING ART yT MASONRY
Ancient New England Dry Walls Are
Things of Beauty But Few Are
Built Now.

"In dry walls think the old stone
mason takes the greatest pride Of all ;
for 1t is the dry wall-I mean by that
wall laid without mortar-that the
sheer art of the mason comes most
into play. Anyone can throw wall
together If he has a mortar to make
1t stick, but dry wall must stand out
for what 1t is, built solid from the
bottom up, each stone resting securely
upon the one belowit, and hraced and
nested in by the sheer skill of the ma
son, writes David Grayson in the
American Magazine.
The art of 1.-The dry wall is the nm
cient heritage of New England and
speaks not only Of the sincerity and
the cOnscientiousness of the old puri-
tan spirit but strikes the higher note
of beauty. Many of the older walls
/ know are worth going far to see, for
they exhibit rare sense of form and
proportion, and are sometimes set in
the landscape with skill that only
the Master Artist himself could exceed.
Those old, hard-wrought stone fences
of the Burnham hills and Crewsbu.y,
the best Of them, were honestly built,
and built to last thousand years. A
beautiful art-and one that is passing
away. 1t is the dry wall that stands
