Irishman in English Journalism.

From the London News.
Barry O'Brien was better known in
England twenty-five years ago than
he has been OF late years. He was
the most important Irishman in Eng
lish journalism during the early
fights for home rule. He was for a
time editor of the Speaker (since
transformed into the Nation), and
wrote book after book on Irish
political history, one of the best
known being Irish Wrongs and Eng
lish Remedies" Silver-haired, grim
and humorous, he was an attractive
figure in Anglo-IriSh life. Like Mr.
Redmond, he stood by Parnell in the
days of the split, and his Life of
Parnell'' is one of the most admirable
of modern political biographies. All
his life Barry OBrien worked for the
reconciliation of 1rishmen of all
creeds and classes. He had begun to
despair in recent years of ever seeing
Justice voluntarily done to Ireland
On one of the last occasions on which
1 saw him he told me that, as he
grew older, he leaned more and more
to the conviction that England would
attend only to the extreme policy of
Wolfe Tone. 1t is Sir Edward Car
sons task to prevent this tragic con-
clusfon from being forced upon any
more 1rishmen of the same fine mod
crate character as Barry O'Brien.

Along with the wheat go poppies.

E7HE reformers who argue
against the buying of hats as
well as gowns are arguing
ee against human nature. "A
woman may economize on any other
of season sets her whole nature
throbbing to get new head coverings.
When the black of winter may be
exchanged for the flowers of sum-
mer the tide of purchase sets in. and
the current runs strong. Hats we
must have. They may be part of new
costumes. or they may be accessories
to redeem and enliven old costumes,
but We must have them.
A good deal is said by the reform
ers these days which we wish could
be left unsaid. 1t is difficult to ap-
proach this matter without suggest
ing that many of US are not sincere
and that our patriotism, fine and
strong as it may be, runs away with
our tongues. One feels that it is
well that there is no earthly war
time judge before whom we must all
come, who puts our talk in one scale
and actions in the other.
Those who insist that every dollar
spent uselessly is an unpatriotic act
should be excessively careful that all
through their own lives there is no
incident upon which the public can
put it's finger and say, Here is the
spending of useless dollar"'
The men and women who preach
ntrrv1 ho ,yytt civ
in their minds. but their talk is use
less if they are not consistent, and
compel those very near them to be
also consistent. A certain episode
that recently occurred in this city
has caused much resentment and ir-
ritation- 1t has been discussed
wherever women and men foregather
who are interested in patriotic lee
turing and the buying of women's
apparel.
It is as follows: A most sincere and
patriotic woman. returning from war
work in France and starting on a
tour of Red Cross lectures. made an
initial speech in New York, in which
she begged women not to buy any
thing in the way of apparel but the
most necessary purchases, and these
at small prices. She spoke of the en-
thusiasm shown by certain milliner
who had sold twelve hats in one
morning. She had explained TO the
enthusiasm: the milliner had retorted
that such sales enabled her to pay
salaries to her employees, while the
war worker insisted that it would be
we'll for them to lose their jobs, as
the government needed them for other
work.
The speech was printed in all the
papers. At the moment 1t was read
in a well known millinery shop a rel
ative of the war worker was telling
the milliner how her envy had been
excited over the marvellous gowns
and hats which the war worker had
brought home from Paris. and which
she had been showing to her family
all that day. And the milliner added
that she had bought twenty hats from
that house during the season.
Here Is another episode: Another
sincere and patriotic woman. working
hard for her country. preached against
the buying of clothes for the dura-
tion of the war. She insisted that it
would be well for all shops to close
and all the employees sent to other
kinds of business. And her words
were listened to with conviction.
Running parallel with her talk came
the statement Of a famous dressmak-
ing house that the same woman had
ordered eleven gowns and two even

diatribes more heartily than his
brother commuter who feels the same
way about trains, cooks, bugs, Sun
day visitors and other rural TRACE
dies. but lacks the happy ability to
poke fun at his troubles and make
them pay. Fresh air, from the Alan
Dale viewpoint, is a laughable fake,
but of all the pests that crawl and
buzz and fly through these walls the
prize goes to the city guest who en-
siastically owns to a fondness for
day in the country because of the de-
light of getting back to town. Every
commuter knows. The building OIL
his home will provide sardonic rem
iniscence for those who have been
through the same sheeD-shearing
process, and a Whit of remembrance
goes with the fertilizer-brouSh

as vivid as movie farce. and yet:
Throughout every page OF the book

that the author finds in his proper

from Belfort to Rheims. Each step
in the dangerous journey thrills with
the zest of adventure. and many
photographs give testimony of bar
baric devastation for which the his
torian of Germany will find no words
to deny. The writer explains that
previously in his trip through dir
ferent sections of France he had seen
thousands Of French soldiers, in
Vulnerable German prisoners and
hospitals filled with wounded. but
that it was only on reaching Bel
fort that he actually realized the
proximity of the great war.

back to the days of this country's
birth:

and at Gerbevilliers-to which is now
added the name "le Martyre," be-

inhabitants who fled from burning
homes to be butchered-he tells of the
splendid courage of Sister Julie. whose
defense of the hospital won for her
the medal of the Legion of Honor.

President Poincare. "Chalon and it's

Georgette sailor hats are still in
vogue. and nothing more interestingly
combines a shape of utility and a

and this fabric.
The transparent hat, dear always to
the woman with liking for elaborate

with elaborate summer afternoon
frocks.
Some of the organdie guimpes are
| made as simply as possible-almost
like mems shirt bosoms. They show
a FEW narrow pleats, and little rows
OF buttons-and that is all. These. of
course. are for wear with the plain

made in pastel colors, combining oid
blue and deep pink. The rose and the
long streamers which trim this type
of hat suggest the garden party. so
let us hope that the average woman
will realize that the hat cannot be
worn on the street.
The lace ruff1e at the hrim of the
large hat IS another fashion when
has been revived from an older, and
more demure epoch. There was once

hats covered with lace made of black

with ruff1e of the lace at the edge
of the brim. Why doesn't some mil
liner revive that especial fashion: Is
the colored peacock lace impossible
to get?
Not being quite certain of the pur-
chasing power of the public in re-
gard to gowns and suits. the milliners
saw their opportunity to throw tidal
wave of new and varied hats into the
current of clothes.
When one goes out to look for new
spring hats one is caught in this cur
rent and rushed along in bewilder-
ing fashion. A days shopping does
not always permit one to get an en-
tirely good view of the various fash
ions. and 1t rarely allows one to
choose with discretion and judgment.
However. here are some of the hats
as they rush by. They are suited to
each face, each purse and each Social
environment be il said to their credit.

Straw embroidery is used on some
of the smartest hats. The vermicelli
straw is set on edge and applied in
the designs wished for. a shade
darker or sometimes a contrasting
color to that of the hat is used.
This is a season when the modest
daisy and the blushing poppy of the
fields have found favor in the most
fastidious millinery shops. In the
hands of the milliners, too. these field
flowers have acquired no little smart
ness. Small topues are sometimes
made entirely of small flowers, and at
other times hats of bright -colored
straw are trimmed.with these flowers.
