bolerO waist idea, although the pattern
also furnishes q simple gathered waist
for q plain house or school frOck. 1t is
convenient to own a design suited to
several purposes. By the omission of
the bolero blouse, or waist, there is
quite a different dress.
While pongee silks of the different
colors now obtainable in pongee are
used for clothes for children, there is
nothing more charming and appropri-
ate for a child han white wash ma

great variety Of weaves. A suggestion
for this dress is to buy enough en-
broidery fiouncing of a fine weave for
q bOlerO. Edge the neck and armholeS
with very narrow embroidery of the
same general character. Then sew two
little ruffies of embroidery-or even of
plain gOods-on the full plain skirt,
and shirr the puffs of the sleeves and
edge them with the embroidery that
trims the bolero.
Dotted or figured lawns and swisses

worn over cOlored slips, with colored
sashes, when the little girl e~ntertains
her friends at q doll party.

American Pin Globe Trotter.

The American pin goes the wide
world around, and our exports are
pretty equally divided between the or
binary pin and the safety pin. Mis-
sionaries from Africa and Asia say
that the American safety pin is so
highly valued that it takes the place
Of currency. Manila is said to be
taking 100000 gross annually, and Italy
bought last year 100000 safety pins.
The reason for this Is the shortage of
supplies from European countries.
England. France and Italy need the
metals for military purposes, and Ger
many and Austria will not make pins
even If they could get them out of the
country, because they need the metal
too badly for guns and shells. The
American pin made by machinery is
of superior quality, and the machines
are so developed that they can be fur
nished even more cheaply than by the
cheap labor in Europe.

R0DAYA LOWEST OF Castles
Those Who Survive Are to Be Found
Today In Handy, the OId-TIme Cap
ital of Ceylon.

The old-time capital of Ceylon is q
city rich with the usual picturesque
ness of the East, and having two or
three unusual points about it as well.
In Randy you will find the Rodaya
caste, one of the few Buddhist castles
whose origin is a matter of history.
Randy, too, contains the most sacred
object in the Orient, no less a relic
than a tooth of Buddha. These two
features are Kandy's principal claims
to fame and interest.
1t is written that the ROdaya had
their origin in the sentence pronounced
by an old-time king, who charged that
they served his table with the flesh of
pigs instead of the flesh of deer. For
this crime he made them the lowest
Of all castles, and their lot has not
been a happy one. There are perhaps
500 of them left today; they may be
seen daily around the outskirts Of
Randy. They are not allowed to live
in houses, but inhabit miserable lean
tos. They have no recourse to native
courts of justice, although under the
English law they are not Disseminated
against. They may not use q bridge,
but have TO swim all streams. They
must kneel when addressing the higher
castles. When the shadow of one of
them falls upon food, the food cannot
be eaten.

cient custom signifying the marriage
of the Adriatic. Every year since 1177,
on Ascension day, Venice has been
made the bride of the sea, and the
throwing Of the dart is a picturesque
feature of a picturesque ceremony.
Equally interesting are the circum-
stances attaching TO the similar func-
tion on the first Thursday of Septem-
Der In Cork harbor, Ireland.
By virtue of a clause In the city
charter the mayor Of Cork is consti-
tuted admiral of the port. Every three
years he must evidence his jurisdic-
ton by throwing q dart into the sea.
At two o'clock in the afternoon the
mayor, the town council, all the civic
officers, and the band Of the Cork civil
artillery embark on q vessel and pro-
coed TO q point between Poor Head
and Cork Head, which is held to be
the maritime boundary of the borough.
The mayor Ions his official robes,
and, attended by the mace and sword
bearer, the city treasurer and the town
clerk, likewise wearing their official
robes, goes to the prov Of the vessel
and launches into the sea q dart made
of mahogany tipped and winged with
bronze, in this way asserting his au-
thority as lord high admiral of the

the stupidity and injustice of our opin-

to Contour of tie Face.

Occasionally n sees a gown that is
cut very high at the back and sides of
the throat and opens sharply into a
long narrow slit at the front.
The high military collars offer a
sharp, almost startling contrast to
these more feminine neck lines, but
here, too, one finds variety.
A few Of them are half open in
front, and others have regular stand
ing ruffs which frame the face and fall
away In soft reverS of lace.
One thing is comforting to know
about this seasons neck line.
You may have to cut any old way

FURLOUGHED EMPLOYEES
WILL STATE GRIEVANCES
Stenographers Recently in Service at
A. T. Of L. Headquarters to Attend
Meeting Of Union.

Members of the stenographers' union put
on furlough yesterday by the local offices
of the American Federation of Labor will
have opportunity at a meeting of the
union to be held tonight at the Pythian
Temple to state grievances, if they have
any.
Miss Margaret Stewart, secretary of the
union, declares that the union has no
reason at present TO believe that the
eleven put on furlough yesterday were so
treated on account of connection with
the activities of the union in its demands
on the federation for a certain minimum
wage. She substantiates the statement of
Frank Morrison, secretary of the fedora
ton, that the employees concerned were on
temporary employment.
Secretary Morrison denied that any of
the eleven man and woman employees of
the American Federation of Labor offices
here who were laid off had been dis
missed" All those put on furlough are
members of the stenographers' union, as
are all stenographers employed by the
federation. Mr. Morrison stoutly denied
that this fact had anything to do with the
furloughing of the employees.
They We're laid of. he said, because the
work on which they had been employed
was finished. The eleven employees will be
given the first opportunities for positions
that arise, he said.

CANNOT ABANDON FORCE

Time Has Not Yet Come, He Says,
in Defending League to
Enforce Peace.

NEW YORK, February 21.-Former
President Taft, in an address here last
night in defense of the aims of the
League to Enforce Peace, declared that
at the time the Monroe doctrine was
promulgated st involved greater risk
of war between this country and a Eu-
ropean power than a league to enforce
peace would now If such a league
had been established three years ago,
he asserted, the present world war
would have been prevented.
Mr.. Taft said that while his SYM
pathies were not with the pacifists, he
did not believe 1t wise to call them
towards. fools or mollycoddles." 1t
does not help in an argument, he added,
to begin by calling the man you wish
to convince "a fool"
I'VE have not reached the time in the
history OF the world when we can aban-
don force" declared the former Presi-
dent I'VE cannot assume that nations
will always treat US justly; therefore.
II we have something to protect-and
there is u vicious force abroad-noth-
ing can prevent injustice except the
imposition Of force"
Mr.. Taft asserted that The Society of
Friends believe in the doctrine of non
resistance"

luCtance because they have a way of
