New York, June 21.-The Chinese are undoubtedly more philosophical about their view of crime than we. They divide guilt around ip complex ways. An Foon, reputed to be the wealthiest man in New York's China town, goes clothed in much splendor of rich raiment and precious jewels. The other night holdup man could not resist that splendor and An Foon was hit over the head and robbed. The guilty man caught and convicted; but his defense was that An Foon was to blame for display ing his wealth so lavishly as to arouse cupidity.

More than 100000 telephones are installed in New York City, with 5,500,000 miles of wire, and 4,250,- 900 calls made every day. More than a million people are talking over the wires during every one of the busy hours of the twenty-four. There is something facinating about such big figures even when they are only concerned with telephoning.

New York, June Is = Nobody in this whole wide land (You can't call it "broad" any more without having some punster interrupt you) is more grateful for the outlook of business thriving next autumn than are the chorus girls of the shows just closed and closing. Beautiful June is liable to be sad month for them There isn't enough summer time chorusing to take the place of the winter af- fairs that stack the scenery quietly in a storehouse. But they are being rapidly absorbed into New York fashion modelling, and they are per fectly happy towalk haughtily across a showroom for a change so long as the good little pay envelope appears just the same at the weeks end. At fashion show put on the other day by one New York maker of women's clohes $3O0,000 was spent on the production. Musical comedy has nothing on that so far as the chorus girl is concerned.

English needlework at the time of Charles I is on exhibition at the Dawson Galleries. Many a famous lady worked industriously at her en- broidery during that period and the results of her work are truly mar vicious to us of this generation or this age. The numbers of different kinds of stitches are multitudinous and it was not uncommon to crowd so many of them into an inch space that it takes magnifying glass to distinguish them all. Purses, carpets, bags, and all sorts of things are in the collection, among them pair of white satin sleeves embroidered in gold by Queen Anne.

presenting a beautiful and spectac-
