THE MAN OF THE DAY THE WOMAN OF THE DAY The Book of the Day POEMS FROM AMERICA. DAVID OF THE MOOR, by Sara Teasdale. (The Macmillan Company, New York; $1.50.) Among English and American poets, it is doubtful whether there is one quite so secure in her distinction or more careful in her craftsmanship than Miss Sara Teasdale. She sings because of some inner urge that cannot be denied, and her songs
some inner urge that cannot be denied, and her songs are most pleasing to those who listen to her. In “September Night” she paints a landscape: We walked in the day, in the drowsy starlight To the sleepless, sleepy sound Of insects humming in the low sea-meadows For miles and miles around; With a wheel and a whirr the resistless rhythm Trembled incessantly; Antares was red in the sky before us, And behind us, the blackness of the sea. French influences are found occasionally. In her meditations on the Pont de Neuilly, the Verlaine touch is easily recognized: The Seine

Sir Francis is in America, renewing acquaintances with American hotelkeepers, seeking the latest devices for the
acquaintances with American hotelkeepers, seeking the latest devices for the further modernization of his Mayfair Hotel in London, and stirring tourist interest in his “Come to Britain” movement. Lieutenant Colonel Sir Francis William Towle, C.B.E. is the elder son of Sir William Towle, of Derbyshire, who was the manager of the Midland Railway Hotels from 1871 to 1914, and the designer of the Midland Hotel, Manchester, and the Midland Adelphi Hotel, Liverpool. After education at Marlborough and Trinity College, Cambridge, Mr. Francis Towle subsequently several years travelling with his younger brother, Mr. Arthur Edward Towle, and both gained valuable experience

Together with his brother, Francis entered the Midland Railway hotel service in 1896; two years later they became assistant managers, under the management of their father. In 1911 they were appointed joint managers with their father; next they took full control on the latter’s retirement in 1914. At the end of 1919, after being knighted in recognition of his war work and hotel reform services, Sir Francis retired from the joint management of the Midland Hotels, When his brother became sole manager.
of the Midland Hotels, When his brother became sole manager. Then came in 1921, the reorganization of the Gordon Hotels, Limited which had been sorely hit during the war, when they were taken over by the Government. Sir Francis was appointed managing director of the Gordon group at a salary of £7,000 a year, under the chairmanship of Sir Clarendon Hyde. In the same year Sir Francis carried out a great scheme of reform and reorganization of the group. Then he launched the “Come to Britain” movement, and introduced informal lunches for those interested in inducing Americans and others traveling
lunches for those interested in inducing Americans and others traveling to come to England first.” Sir Francis has the happy knack of combining business with pleasure. He is a keen tennis player, and he personally organizes tennis tournaments at his numerous hotels. At the Métropole at Monte Carlo, he has had three hard courts laid down, and his “American tennis tournaments” are one of the features of the winter season. So successful have these tournaments been, that he has introduced winter tennis tournaments on hard courts at his English hotels at Brighton, Margate and Folkestone. Sir Francis Towle, at fifty-one,

ANIMAL EDUCATION Some birds and beasts appear to have definite ideas on the training and education of their young. Others give no sign of having the most elementary notions on the two subjects. Most birds teach their fledglings to fly before the home is broken up. The pigeon is an exception. It is a devoted nurse in the early days, but it ceases surveillance directly the little ones no longer need feeding. So soon as the squab is able to
need feeding. So soon as the squab is able to pick up its own food, the parents seem to lose interest in him, even to turn against him. The most they will do towards teaching him to use his wings is to throw him out of the nest. Cats, both wild and domesticated, are strict disciplinarians. The best-mannered kitten is the one that has been trained—without an occasional spanking—by its careful mother. Foxes teach their cubs to hunt, educating them early in all their own cunning. Even the apparently foolish domestic hen rises to unsuspected heights of intelligence if she

Elsie Jarvis The Near East Relief may have to abandon some of its work in Armenia. According to a statement just issued in New York, funds for the Winter have been exhausted by litigation over the loss by fire of the Relief warehouses in Greece, and the heavy demands caused by the recent floods and earthquakes in Armenia. In fact, Near East Relief officials are consulting geologists to find out if it
Relief officials are consulting geologists to find out if it is advisable to maintain orphanages in the Ararat Valley, which was shaken by seventy-five seismic shocks in a fortnight. Should they stay, it will be largely because of the heroism of such workers as Miss Elsie L. Jarvis of Washington, D.C. Miss Jarvis was one of those in charge of an Armenian orphanage when the severest earthquakes came. One thousand little victims of Levantine calamities were in her care. At the first shocks that opened up cracks in the walls and sent glass and crockery crashing to the floor, a

Realizing that a panic would mean the death of hundreds of children, Miss Jarvis mustered her charges with the usual discipline of the institution. A pat on the shoulder here and a reassuring word there calmed the frightened orphans. Under her cool leadership, they marched to safety in perfect order while further shocks crumbled chimneys and sent buildings tumbling down behind them.

Although the American crop is said to be 35,000,000 bushels more than last year, it still is 34,000,000 below the five-year average. The Canadian crop, while 2,000,000 bushels more than in 1925, is placed at 19,000,000 below the five-year average, and the estimates production in Europe, exclusive of Russia, will be about 15 percent less, with quality “not favorable.” ART.

THE STATE PAYS TAXES The French Customs Service is not only anxious that the State should be rich, but it is anxious that it should be rich
rich, but it is anxious that it should be rich through the efforts of the Customs rather than the tobacco monopoly. Imported tobacco enters France duty free, since the State monopoly buys and resells it. However, the regulation which exempts tobacco does not specifically exempt the containers. Since the Régie has been bringing in great quantities of foreign cigarettes in fancy boxes, the Customs Service is alarmed. These gilded and embossed packages represent a certain intrinsic value in cardboard and printing. “Tobacco goes free,” says the Customs Department, “but these pretty boxes will have to pay.” Whereupon it proceeded to
pretty boxes will have to pay.” Whereupon it proceeded to hold up a shipment of American cigarettes in order to levy a tax of 3 centimes on each fancy box of twenty cigarettes. As the Régie uses 50,000,000 packages of this brand annually, the insignificant tax would represent 1,500,000fr. a year. Officials of the Régie admitted that it matters little whether the money flows into the State coffers by one channel or another, but they protested because of the delay inevitably attached to anything in which the Customs Service is concerned. A committee of experts has just decided that for

But the Customs Service is preparing a counter-protest. DEAD LEAVES Dead Leaves, brittle-curled and dry, Laugh and skitter and cartwheel by, Dead Leaves that know what it is to die.

THE PARIS TIMES A Weekly Paper The Paris Times and Telegraph Aimed to Serve the English Speaking World GREEN POPULAR FOR THEATRE WEAR; VELVET ENDORSED IN WRAPS STYLES Chiffon, Georgette, Velvet and Satin Seen in Gowns—Fur Wraps Attain Importance—Many Real Jewels in the Mode. As many of the important Parisian théâtres open with new plays, revues and musical shows, one becomes an opportunist and visits the opening performances to take interest equally in the play and the fashions presented by the audience, as
the play and the fashions presented by the audience, as well as those dressed in the “last word” on the stage. It is presumed that those on the stage bring forth some of the greatest successes of the dressmakers in Paris and at the same time present gowns suitable for the type of person who wears them. Many a lesson in good dressing can be learned from the stage. Elégance in the last degree is but one phase of this good dressing. Splendor takes a hand, and this sense, too, it suggests the mode that should come before the footlights
it suggests the mode that should come before the footlights as well as the mode behind them. There is no doubt that the success of Itip’s new operetta, “The Seventh Heaven,” will have marked influence upon the vogue for ostrich, for in the special scene of an evening assembly nearly every woman wears ostrich as trimming. There is black with green ostrich, French blue on a velvet frock in the same color, orange tones and red and pink shades—all of which prove how beautiful ostrich can be for evening wear. In this train play, Mlle. Maud Loty wears an attractive
In this train play, Mlle. Maud Loty wears an attractive peach-pink chiffon frock with rich-toned moiré ribbon as trimming. The programme tells you that Mlle. Loty is dressed by Calot. In "A Vol d'oiseau," the new revue featuring the Dolly Sisters, we find many beautiful models from Patou. In one of the amusing scenes we see Mlle. Gaby Benda wearing the Patou frock which is illustrated here, a frock popular on the stage, you see, as well as in the audience. Fashionable Colors. Nearly every première brings out quantities and quantities of green in light tones, which range from a
quantities of green in light tones, which range from a very pale one to a medium shade; this means, too, dégradé shadings as well as the solid tones. Green appears in velvet, especially silk velvet and that sheer chiffon quality; in chiffon, in satin, georgette, and sometimes in moiré and in taffeta. This color seems to increase as the week goes by, and in consequence it stands out as one of the most popular in gowns for the theatre. There is seldom a row in the orchestra or a box that does not have its quota of green. Blues are
that does not have its quota of green. Blues are seen, too, even in dark tones, but blue is less popular, no doubt because only a few shades are effective at night. White is seen in quantities; it is worn by all ages. Cerise is one of the popular colors, while girls still in their teens wear pink in many tones. Black started to be popular among all ages, but of late it seems relegated more to the older woman and she, too, wears quite a lot of steel-grey. Various Silhouettes. In gowns at the theatre the silhouette -Menging in
Silhouettes. In gowns at the theatre the silhouette -Menging in its numerous interpretations. Some women choose one for its regal theme. Others seem to prefer the more girlish type. This, of course, means that one is rather fitted in the bodice in princess line, with somewhat flowing skirt and the other is bloused with fluffy skirt. There is the betwixt and between type of gown—the brolére, for example,— and then the fringed gown, which gives a brolére note in the arrangement of the fringe on the bodice. But on the whole, the fringed gown is seen less than most of
whole, the fringed gown is seen less than most of the others. Sequins appear in bodices sometimes, and rhinestones come as the trimming of either skirt or bodice, but seldom both, which brings us to the point that one or the other, in the gown, remains plain unless the skirt may have an appliqué pattern of self-material. Embroidery of various sorts is important; of course, beading is seen on many of the gowns in any of the silhouettes. Wraps for the Theatre. Fur leads all types of wraps for the theatre. Both capes and coats are seen in winter ermine,
theatre. Both capes and coats are seen in winter ermine, sometimes in solid white, as in coat with a Queen Anne collar, while in a cape with deep arm-holes a cap sleeve was introduced in effect by means of a long row of black ermine tails. White hair trims the white rabbit cape and fox sometimes collars one in ermine. Sable and mink wraps are very popular and there is quite a lot of light grey squirrel. Velvet ranks high in wraps which are not all in fur. They are usually in tones with the frock, if in a pale
usually in tones with the frock, if in a pale shade such as delicate pink; again, they are in darker or brighter tones than the frock. Emerald-green is popular. Azure-blue is frequent and in coats there are numbers in Bordeaux-red, such as one seen at the Opéra-Comique the other evening, trimmed with white fur, with a close collar. Many black velvet capes lined with white fur which is used are to be seen also. Lame capes and brocaded patterns hold their own; they have either ostrich or fur collars. Among the accessories observed in the theatre strass bags are popular
the accessories observed in the theatre strass bags are popular and also strass-trimmed shoes. Strass flowers appear in great abundance. To make things still more magnificent, large diamond pins appear on gowns, especially those which are not beaded in the bodice. Head-bands are seen now and again, while beautiful ostrich fans flutter in cadence with the music. USE OF TWO COLORS IN PATOU COSTUMES The very inspiration which knows how to limit in a Patou collection is infectious; it is carried to one who wears the ensembles, the coats and dresses which have been created with such marked ingenuity. Look
dresses which have been created with such marked ingenuity. Look upon the new models—chiefly of sports character for wear in the Southern times. Two tones and two colors are notable—two grays, two greens, two blues and the like. Nearly always the coat is in the dark shade and the skirt matches it, while the lining of the coat is matched by the jumper, which may be trimmed with the darker hue. A simple little one-piece frock sometimes accompanies the coat and it is often in the light color entirely. Scarlet, Patou’s red, bright blue, mahogany, brown, and pink tones are
Patou’s red, bright blue, mahogany, brown, and pink tones are to be seen in the new models, although I notice much grey in various shades—soft, subtle and becoming. Mauve appears here and there in a very pale tint, accompanied by purple, which may be used as the lining in the jumper. On the whole, jumpers are striped—sometimes two locked together—again but one color—again more than two; they rise to various heights from only around the bottom of the snug hip-line up to the shoulders to give a yoke effect... and if course all the positions between the two extremes. Shoulder
if course all the positions between the two extremes. Shoulder tucks, to give an easy line, are seen in numbers of the coats and the jumpers. The square line is characteristic in most of the fronts of bodices. Skirts are pleated in ever so many different ways, so that a woman can choose a Patou model that will be to her precise liking in this detail. The collection is praiseworthy in every sense of the word. IA MAISON MODERNE 'Americanized' your home.

She also traces the interesting lines in another model by rows of French knots made in fine silk straw in tone with the felt hat.

BROWN FASHIONABLE IN UMBRELLA MODE A sudden downpour of rain, even a slight shower, sends many a woman into an umbrella sheath, where she chooses at leisure the most correct kind for the season. The “Tom Pouce,” as the French call it, is by far the most popular still. At Wilson’s one finds numbers and numbers of these smart umbrellas with a variety of interesting handles, while the
