"PUT AND TAKE" TOP MAKES HIT
 WITH ENGLISH
New American Game In troduced Abroad by Sail ors All the Rage in Eng
 land-French Also Play.

New York, Oct. 2s.-Although the gentle indoor pastime known as ''Af- rican dominoeS'' never did go very well in that dear London another Ameri- can game of chance has invaded Whitechapel and Piccadilly. This is of put and take" and American sail OrS returning from England declare that '"Takin' is the thing they are fondest of over there."
 Albert Lo Toy. of the Cunard liner Berengaria, said the shillings and number with the top than ever passed over the galloping dice. The top has also made it's appearance in Paris, ac- cording to La Toy, aand the putters and takers are important factors in the night life of the gay French cap tal.
 Top Says Put Too Much
 somehow, when I play put and take over there, that alarmed top can't say anything but Put" said La Toy. "The English never did quite fancy shooting craps. They never could learn the slang of the game.
 '"The top got the boys dizzy around Southampton and Liverpool. Pretty soon the shops got them, and now everybody, rich and poor, are slaves to the whirl-gambling device.
 "One reason the English like the to do any talking. The top does that All you do is listen and smile - or weep"
 Along the waterfront at Liverpool and Southampton, he said, it is common sight to see a group of port top. At Cherbourg, France, little punches of Frenchmen congregate to tempt the Goddess of Chance as rep resented by the put and take'' top.

About the Silhouette.

There is no longer single sill

bloused or that hang straight to the
hips. and waistines may be nor
NAL or q little lowered. and marked
with sash on one or both hips. Or,
if we prefer: we may choose q rather
close fitted bodice or gown showing
Dircctoie influence
Skirts are longer; the prevailing
length is eight or ten inches from the
floor They are little fuller, also,
and hardly any sheath skirts are seen.
The uneven hcm-linc remains with
the greater length usually at the sides.
There is Il distinct tendency to keep
all the fulncss or ornanentation Of
any kind ut the hips. TO some extent

Top-coats are of four distinct

about the hip-line and blouse just
above this tight section: and those
that are beltless and circular in cut,
often decidedly full.
In the suits for spring, two types
are very popular; those with belted
coats, and those with f1aring box

made in various lengths to suit the in

DRESS REFORM IN JAPAN
Three Months Campaign is Now In
der Way.

Three Months Campaign is Now un-
der Way.
A. three. months dress reform CAM
paign among Japanese women Is under
way in Honolulu and in Tokyo.
When it is ended these things will
probably have happened. :.
I. The pretty Japanese maids will
wear stockings, which means that no
longer will bare feet be quickly tucked
into picturesque sandals And il
"tabis" or one-toed slippers, are donned
it will be only after stockings have
been slipped on.
2.-The picturesque. broad "orbis," Or
sashes Will be no more.
1t has been decreed by the reform
ers that these century old dress
customs are. improper; that they are
not neat.
The campaign is unique.
The young Japanese girls, attending
American schools. are going about in
the attire of the average American
girl, making speeches in churches, the
atres halls and streets. urging the re-
form. Placards have been posted about
the Japanese quarter bearing the fol-
lowing notice:
"The custom is reflection Of the
heart. Untidiness in woman is an
indication of an uncouth soul. When
women wear Japanese dress they must
be neater. Women and men must no
longer 20 barefooted and barelegged.
Women MUST wear stockings, ETC.
Heading the campaign is X. Naito,
Japanese consul. Naito has definitely
announced that the campaign does not
necessarily mean that the Japanese wo-
men will be expected to wear American
attire.

Simplicity in Mode.

Simplicity is the keynote Of the
coming mode. SliD-on frocks, chcmisc
frocks, and models OF straight lines,
carefully adjusted to each individual
figure. prove that the vogue for SIM
plicity will continue. There is a great
er variety in the use Of panels, and
moro subtle nuances in the drapcry.
The new dresses are practically un-
trimmed and have an air of careless
grace that is very smart. The outline
is generally straight and loose, but
there is a very. strong tendency to-
wards concentrating fulness at the
hips by means Of plcats or shirrings.
A hint Of ancient Tanagra appears in
some Of the classic drapery for even
ing gowns, and the Persian tunic is a
suggested mode.
Crepe de Chine and crepe Marocain
are the leading fabrics of the moment.
There is noticeable return of high
lustrc taffeta. and crepe Georgcttc is
also seen, as we'll as Rodicr wool
lensc and French serges: Handkcr
chief linen in bright colours is much
used. and lace continues to be pop
ular particularly dyed laces and fine
black laces.
The majority of crepe dresses are in
black, brown, or coffee color. All
shades of grey and yellow are popular.
and red is a farorite color which will
he widely used for hats and, combined
with white. for general summer wear.

A new pile fabric for. separate

LYING At DEATHS DOOR
Aged Empress Charlotte Awaiting
Final Summons.

A9eu Empress ChaTioIte H"aitIn9
Final Summons.
A visitor that Empress Charlotte
has awaited ffty-four years Is riding
swiftly to her chateau at Bouchot, re-
latcs a Brussels dispatch. The visitor
is death.
Charlotte is eighty-onc and feeble.
She is i'll with Influenza.
Wife Of Ferdinand Macmillan en-
peror of Mexico, she is the only en-
press North America ever had. Even
since her royal husband was executed
at Mexico City, June 10, 1867. she has
been berefit of reason.
1t was in 1857 that Macmillan
brother of Francis Joseph, the late war
ernporer of Austria, arrived In Bel
gium after sailing the seven seas.
The Hapsburg was twenty-five, tall,
of commanding figure.
Charlotte, daughter Of King Leo
pold 7, was seventeen. She too, was
tall, Her face was oval, her checks
rosy. Her mouth was pretty, her lips
ruby red. Her eyes small and spark
ling.
But Charlotte was q royal shut-in
Her mother allowed her to attend only
four balls a winter. Then she could
waltz only with her brothers.
She was student and a weaver of
dreams.
When Maximilian came romance
arrived. 1t was love at first sight.
After the wedding they went to
Milan and the island Of Madeira and
Trieste. Maxirlilian was governor
general of Italian provinces.
Charlotte was beloved by the peo-
Pile Life was without a worry or
care.
Then Maximtlian grasped the op.
portunity of becoming ruler Of Mexi-

flowers were strewn at their feet.
The empress was hailed as THE
beautiful and iovable Carlota!"
But Mexico soon wearied Of Maxi
milan; as It has of many other rulers
since. His rule and his life were
threatened.
Charlotte went to Europe to plead
with Napoleon III for finances and
the keeping of French soldiers in Mex
fco.
She knew that if she failed Maxi
milan was ruined.
Napoleon refused to promise sup
port.
Crushed, Charlotte started for
Italy. Then came the first indication
of mental breakdown.
She would eat no food unless 1t was
prepared in her presence.
They'll poison met" she cried over
and over.
In Rome she remained all night at
the Vatican, saying she was afraid to
leave.
a mental specialist took her to the
Palace of Tervueren in Belgium. The
king and queen and the prince of
Wales met her and tried to re-assure
her.
Meanwhile Maximilian was seized
by revolutionists and shot by firing
So lad.
News of the emperor's death was
kept from his wife, but somehow she
OWNED the worst, and became raving
mad.
Years later, in one of her rare lucid
intervals, she was told of his end.
Thousands of times since then she has
called for death.

FILM SHOWS HARM
COMES FROM TOBACCO

Recently at Grace M. E. church
there was a film shown about to,
bacco. 1t proved that tobacco was
injurious, and that all tobacco
should be labeled poisonous with
a skull and cross bones. A woman
will live three years longer than a
man providing that the man
smokes and the woman does not.
Two rats were put in two little
glass cases. In one case was
puffed tobacco smoke and in the
other was puffed cornsilk smoke.
The rat that was in the tobacco
smoke died about one minute later
and the rat that was in the corn
silk smoke was not injured at all
The president of the largest to-
bacco company in the world says
that he does not smoke because it
is poisonous.
There are sixteen different pois-
ons in one cigarette over 100000
Of which goes up in smoke from
the mouths of the cigarette fiends.
