THE PASSING OF THE KIMONA

A class in dressmaking for japanese
no wish to learn how to make West
orn costumes has been opened In
Tokyo, Japan. 1t is being conducted
ny Miss Hanaya Sakamoto. Japanese
"f the Y. w. @. A, who has studied in
The United States and Canada The
class Is attended by a number OF the
wealthier women Of Tokyo, who are
,mong the first to adopt the new fash
'ons of dressing their children as
Western mothers do, and who wish to
arm to make underclothes as we'll as
outer garments.
The picturesque kimona is giving
way before the more convenient and
economical skirt or trousers. Economy
Seems the greatest argument in favor
Of our commonplace Western costume.
For everyday wear, to be sure. the
Japanese have kimonas which cost
rather less than our everyday clothes.
but when they dress up their costumes
are exceedingly expensive.
They are ornamental with elaborate
embroidery, and are made of very ex-
pensive materials. But IL the same
dress kimona would do for a number
Uf occasions, the expense entailed
would be small compared to what a
Japanese lady spends now, for con-
vention demands that she wear a diff
ferent sort Of costume for each cere-
monial occasion. This multiplies her
bills until she looks with envy on our
simpler costume.
Host business men and men students
in japan are already wearing foreign
clothes. One large girls school has
adopted a navy blue uniform consist
ing Of a simple one-piece dress with
white collars and cuffs and a large
straw hat Most OF the foreign cos
tunes advocated by the Japanese
women, however. are extremely ugly,
and a far cry from the more aesthetic
costumes of America and England.
The Y. NJ. c. A. is extremely anxious
to add to its staff in Tokyo an expert
American designer who can supervise
the making Of artistic Occidental cos

Feeling Bad---

whats the matter?" "Oh, I don't
know Just feel bad. Not what you
would call sick, only stupid, sleepy and
sluggish. Don't feel like doing any
thing" These conditions are truly,
nuisances, and it is a false notion to
think that you are sick every time you
feel bad. For health is queer crea-
ture; it seldom remains in a perfect
condition, nurse or abuse it as you
choose, it always acts according to its
own laws. These feeling-bad conditions
are often due to changes of the season
of the year, like spring, when the sap
is going up and the feeling bad is going
down. They are due largely to the de-
posits of invisible little crystals of Uric
Acid in the blood and kidneys. These
little crystals are at times very irritat-
ing, and unless removed are going to
make you sluggish and feel bad all over.
Get rid of them at once by flushing
them out with suitable remedies, not the
kind that hurts you but hurts them, and
the best remedy l know of for these
especial conditions is

name, which Is translated to mean

other than by similarity of letters,
with Emma, which means grand
mother"
Emmeline came into existence
through the queens of Navarro and
the Asturias. The sister of Sancho

phonse, the Great, was called Anne
lima. But the ladies Of Navarro were
not content with a single name

Amelina was also Simena and
Ximena.
Ximena survived the longest of
any of the other names and came
to be popular in all classes. The
wife of the Cid was so called.
but the French turned. her into
Chimene. The English promptly
called this strange name Emme-
line and even France now has an
Emeline. The form Emylyn, which
appears in old ballad poetry, is
identical with Emmeline.
The latter name is a bit long for
Americans and though IL rs properly
given in baptism, it unfortunately
too quickly degenerates into the
handy "Emmy'-which is no name

Washington, May (by the Az

drawn all objections TO the Chinese
consortium and had prepared a
communication accepting the terms
as agreed upon by the United
States, Great Britain and France,
the state department was informed
today by the American embassy at

The acceptance of the consorti-
um by Japan ends a two years ef-
fort by the state department to pro-
vide for the financing of China by
representative groups of bankers
in each of the four great countries.
Japan has contended that Man
churia and Mongolia should be eX-
cluded from the operation of the
consortium, claiming that it had
predominant rights in that terri
tory because of proximity. The
United States, however, refused to
agree to this exclusion.
The terms of the consortium are
general and each negotiation un-
der it will be taken up separately.
Japan will have the right to OBJ
ject to loans for any work she
feels will jeopardize her national
life or vitality affect her sovereign
