"The Sublime Porte" is the Ottoman or Turkish government. The term comes from the Latin word porta, a gate, the Turkish being the High Gate For. in the Biblical days as in the days of Moorish supremacy, justice was dispensed at the gate.
 For more than half a century the conscience of England winced Cor, did it?) at maintaining Turkey in Europe for "the balanc~ 0ower"; for pro- tecting by her -ets and her Bible the "Red Sultan Abdul -Hamid.

PARISIAN STYLES REACH HEIGHT
 OF FASHION

New York, Sept II II Charles Kurzman 5th-avenue milIiner and dressmaker, who has just returned from Paris, said this afternoon that the prices for clothing have never been so high in Paris as this summer, but that the wardrobcs of Parisiau women of fashion were never more elaborate.
 The prices are at least three times what they were in normal times" he said. Very ordinary serge dresses marked at 5000 to 1000 francs arc not an uncommon sight in the shops A Parisienne of the welI-dressed type. however. would turn up her nose at such clothing. You cannot find any thing halfway decent, she would say, for less than 12,OOO or I5.OOO francs. saw one very beautiful evening gown of the best materials for 2S.OOO.
 The high cost of labor and the shortage of employees are partially re- sponsibie for the high prices. The French say that the American sol diers have married most of the little French girls who used to make dress es and taken them to America"
 If the dresses are so scant as has been said,' the reporter interrupted. "thc Parissienues don't get very much for their money"
 There is some truth in that" NIr kurzmau said, "but they get the satisfaction of knowing they are in the height of fashion. even if they haven't much protection against the weather. There has been no exa-- geration about the nudity of the sum mer styles. When ] said that the Parisiennes of fashion went practical ly nude I meant it literally Their clothes are cut short at both ends and are so transparent they are hardly noticeable.
 "Dimensions2' There isn't enough or these dresses to have any di- mension. They only reach to the knees and are so dlmy you could loIl one up into ball to fit in your hand With dresses to the knee, with no stockings and with bare backs, the Parisienue seems to have no fear of catching cold, but she will have to change her styles before winter. If she dressed that way in the winter she would freeze to death"
 There is little likelihood that the present Partisan styles, will ever be seen on New York streets" said AIr Kurzman. "Seen here, out of their Farisian setting, they would only be vulgar"

CARE OF BABY.

The child is sensitive to its envlr- onment Just as in the case of grown ups. cheerful surroundings with plenty of fun and laughter make for his health.
 When baby's teething begins and he is feverish and restless. Instead of rocking and lulIabying and walking the floor with him, just give him a warm bath and bit of cooled boiled water to drink from a spoon. This treatment really acts like a charm.
 When a young childs skin is much chafed, do not wash it with soap and water. Use thick barley water in stead. Do not powder the skin and expect the chafing to heal That will do ne'er a particle of good. Instead, smear the skin with a little boracic ointment Vaseline will do just as well.
 Just because mashed potatoes are soft do not think that baby can eat them at about months of age. Po- tatoes should not be fed to him until he is at least twenty months oId, Tor they are hard to digest, even by many grown folks. When you do give them to him, be sure that they are well cooked. Undercooked vegetables will acquaint the youngster with stomach trouble, much to the whole familys sorrow.
 As soon as baby gets old enough to eat solids, do be sure to teach him to eat slowly with the mouth closed and to chew we'll If you count aloud the number of times he chews his food, he will think it a good game and thus acquire the valuable habit of thorough mastication.
