The Test of Art
Where the weakness of the artistic
life really lies is that it is often not
taken up out of mere communicative
ness and happy excitement, as a child
tells a breathless tale, but as a device
for attracting the notice and earning
the applause of the world, and then it
is on a par with all other self regard
ing activities. But if it is taken up
with a desire to give rather than to
receive as an irreversible sharing of
delight it Incomes not a solemn and
dignified affair, but just one of the
most beautiful and uncalculating im
pulses in the world.—A. C. Benson in
Century Magazine.

A DEMOCRATIC KING
An Interesting Story About King Al
bert of Belgium
Arno Uosch, the war correspondent
| of the "World's Work" magazine at
! the front, writing of his experiences
in the January number, tells the fol
i lowing incident.
"On an afternoon late in October
j the town square in Furnes was full of
| military automobiles and a few provis
; ion wagons. 1 did not see any field
i pieces ur machine gnus. Every last
1 one was right up on the firing line. My
! feet were tired from walking over the
Belgian blocks, and I held tena iously
to the sidewalk passing around the
1 square, though it was mostly taken up
with cafe, tables and bay trees in
! boxes At one point, the tables were
\ empty and a single sentry was saunter
-1 ing up and down. I stopped to ask
j him the way to the gendarmerie, and,
'in the middle of giving me the direc
tions. lie came to attention, as a door
! opened behind me, and saluted.
"Two men catne out of the door,
j one rather tall, with an easy manner,
1 and smartly dressed as a general in the
i Belgian army. The other was older,
| also a general, wearing, if anything,
| the more gold braid of the two. They
entered a waiting automobile and drove
| off as casually as two men at home
might leave their office for their club.
I "Something about the first of the
i two men impressed me as familiar. I
I had only seen his back, but that had
I arrested my attention. I thought pos-
Isibly 1 had seen him at the beginning
I of the war in Brussels, so I asked the
I sentrv his name.
" 'That is our king, Albert,' lie said
quite simply.
"During the next couple of Jays I
saw the King of Belgium a number of
timos. He spent his nights at a small
villa on the seashore at IJU Panne, a
hundred yards possibly beyond the ho
tel where I spent mine. He passed
through the streets as unnoticed as any
one of the other Belgians who had re
treated from Antwerp and Ghent ahead
of the army, but preferred the chilly
nights iu an unheated seaside hotel in
Belgium to comfort somewhere beyond,
it seemed to be a point of courtesy on
the part of the Belgians not to bother
their king with ceremony at this trying
time. I doubt if he cares much for
ceremony, anyhow. Searching around
for a single adjective to describe him,
1 should call him off-handed. His man
ner, even then, while alert, was casual.
It is easv to see why the Belgians love
him. If kings had always been as sim
ple and direct as Albert, I am in
clined to think democracy would have
languished."
How Politicians Platter Farmers
In the current issue of "Farm and
Fireside," the national farm paper pub
lished at Springfield, Ohio, Herbert
Quick, the editor, writes a new serial
story the principal character in which
is Jim Irwin, a remarkable rural school
teacher who tries to stir up his com
munity on the subject of improved edu
cational opportunities for tho children
and oncounters hard-shelled conserva
tive opposition. He attends a political
meeting and in the course of a speech
gives his hearers a few truths in the
following words:
"The politicians come out into the
furmiug districts every campaign anil
get us hayseeds for anything they
want. They give us clodhoppers the
glaft hand, a cheap cigar, and a cheaper
smile after election —and that's all. I
don't blame them so very much. The
trouble is we don't ask thorn to do any
thing better. I want a new kind of
rural scluool; but I don't see any pros
pect, no matter how this election goes,
for any change in them. We will have
to work out our own salvation. Our
political ring never'll do anything but
tho old things."
Three Ages
The Berlin botanical gardens, says
Lustige Blatter, arc wonderfully beau
tiful, but too small children they are a
for'biilden paradise. Boys and girls un
der ten are not permitted to enter.
llerr ami Frail Mullen 1 found this out
to their disappointment when they
planned to take their little Paul on a
Hunday trip to view the beautiful gar
dens. Nevertheless they ifave their
young hopeful a few instructions and
started out. At the gute the porter
stopped the young Muller. "How old
are youf" he inquired. Paul answered,
"Six for the electrics; really eight; for
the botanical gardens, ten."
LAND OF THE LOOM
Belgium, in Tapentry Work, Outdid Its
Orientil Originators
Belgium has been called the "Land
of the Loom," and it was here in the
ninth century that an art arose new to
Europe, although familiar for centuries
in the orient. Tapestries caused stono
walls to bloom and brought prosperity '
to the cities. Pictured hangings of lin
en, wool or silk, writes W. E. Griffs in
"Belgium—The of Art," opened
commentaries on the Scriptures and the
classics, became books for the illiterate,
told fairy tale» to the children, served
as manuals of devotion to the pious, in
creased personal comfort and brought
the textile art to its highest point of
perfection.
This "wall clothing" passed through
many styles and fashions and many
revolutions in methods and values. Be
ginning in the castle or monastery, the
craft passed into the shops and factor
ies and formed the basis of the wealth
of the cities and kingdoms.
The manufacture of tapestries came
from the east, where it had long been
practiced by the Moors and Saracens.
The first imitation by the Belgian—or
Flemish —craftsmen was rude enough.
Gradually, however, through skill and
care, the imitators became originators.
The best artists co-operated with the
weavers to produce pictorial results un
dreamed of in the orient. Painters of
the very highest rank, even Raphael
and /Michelangelo, were glad to draw
cartoons for those who could transform
the black and white designs into glori
ous colorrin wool or silk.
In time their fame became world
wide and their value so great that
they were worth, literally, more than
"aking's ransom.'' In 1396 the Sul
tan Bajazet I took as prisoner a son
of Philip the Hardy, King of France.
The Turk stipulated as a fair exchange
"high warp tapestry, worked in Arras,
in Picardv,," but they should repre
sent "good old stories."
This War Is Against Every Producer
Herbert Quick, editor of "Farm and
Fireside," the national farm paper pub
lished at Springfield, Ohio, contribute*
to the current issue of that periodical
the following editorial showing how
this war is against the interest of
every producer in the world':
"The people of Relgium are often
said not to be self-sup>porting, since
they do not produce from their own
acres more than a fraction o>f the food
they consume. Yet up to the time
when the Germans invaded the king
dom they lived in much comfort, con
suming as much tood as inos-t people.
"As ft matter of fact, they were just
as truly self-supporting as are the
farmers of America. They were en
gaged in taking coal and iron and other
minerals from the earth, HIV I produc
ing from them and from the products
of the farms and forests articles just
as essential to civilized life a* food.
"They are now reduced to poverty
merely because they are not allowed to
work and dispose of the fruits of their
labors.
"In this scattered nest, before the
German tempest struck it, worX went
on in which we as Americans were be
ing served in a thousand productive
ways. The tempest struck, and the
Belgians ceased to work for us and
with us.
"This shows the intimate way in
which all of us are interested in the
prosperity of each of us. This is a
war, not of the nations actually en
gaged in it, but against every pro
ducer."
Hens That Lay Two Eggs a Day
In the "Poultry Raising" depart
ment of the current issue of "Farm and
Fireside" an aecount recently appeared
of execptional hens that have laid two
eggs in one day.. In the current issue
of the same periodical a Massachusetts
poultry man describes as follows the un
■isual egg-laying prosperities of five
hens in his flock:
"One of my pullets that laid two
eggs in one day in May last, laid the
five days preceding and two days suc
ceeding, making nine eggs in tlie eight
days. I am still in a surprised attitude
at her performance, for I had the pullet
in my hands when she dropped the two
eggs, .-Me was not one of my best or
most persistent layers.
"There were four others Mat laid
two eggs in one day in May, though
not all on the same day.
"I had a pullet that 'began to lay
the 11th day of October and laid 54
eggs to the 27t'h of December, when she
started to molt and did not lay another
ogg until March S. I never had a
pullet molt before or since until they
molted in October of the next year."
Strong Hack Saw Blades
The layman watching a tiny hack
saw blade working its way through a
touigh piece of steel is filled with won
der, for it seems like putting a tiny
bov to do the task of a giant. The
latest idea is that of making a saw
which has a soft, flexible hack with
hard tempered teeth. At a test of the
strength of this blade it was found
that it would support two men, repre
senting a total weight of 283 pounds,
without breaking.
The Stoning of Hamilton
Alexander Hamilton was stoned by
a New York audience in the summer of
1795. While at a public meeting he
was speaking in favor of the Jay trea

A Belgian Hat
Now York, Jan. G.
The Horse Show has been tho attrac
tion of a week in New York. The
horses groomed until they shone and in
the pink of training ct.me first of course
in the minds of the people, but the
clothes worn by the women came a close
second.
Designers from all over New York
assembled there to note what the so
ciety women favored for the event of
the early winter, and to temper their
new designs accordingly.
The boxes wore filled with a crowd i
of people dividing their attention be-1
tween the horses and the clothes worn j
by other women. With fewer Parisian j
styles the trend of fashion is a ques-1
tion much more interesting to the j
greater number of people that it has
ever been.
A Dims Effect of
Sand-Colored Broadcloth
The suits which were the most prom
inent .were those made with a coat hav
ing a long and rippling tunic. These
were usually worn with the fuller skirts
which rippled out beneath them. On all
were deep bands of something, fur
usually, and braid sometimes, to bonier
the bottom of the tnnie and skirt. This
fur was often skunk, sometimes fitch,
kolinsky or sable, but the most popular
I was beaver.
A sand-colored broadcloth suit, made
with a coat close fitting at the shoulders
and flaring out at the knees, had a skirt
with a band of beaver around it at
least fifteen inches wide and possibly
as wide as eighteen inches.
The fuller skirts were in evidence,
showing that there is no doubt about
the revival of the straight full skirts
of crinoline days, and among the coats
was one which reminded me of the old
fashioned dolmans.
A semi-fitted effect is to be seen in
dresses that is a distinct reminder of
the princess dress. The illustration de
veloped in sand-colored broadcloth, al
though far from being a princess, shows
a combined yoke and girdle which lits
around the waist and hips in a princess
manner. The dress is made without
trimming, the only variation in its sim
plicity being the chiffon sleeves and
the flaring collar of chiffon. The skirt
flares out in the accepted fashion at the
ankles, showing the new breadth skirts
are taking. Cloth-covered buttons trim
the, yoke under the arms.
The second illustration shows a dress
made on lines more similar to the prin
cess. The dress is inadc of blue char
mouse, with skirt and waist in one.
At the waistline it is shirred into the
outline of the figure. A sash of a
darker shade of the same material is
brought around the front of the waist
and tied at a low waist line and serves
to break the princess effect. Buttons
covered with the same material as the
sash fasten the dress down the front.
Sand color was the shade of many
of the most stylish suits. One suit of
sand color had a .jacket that was rather
dose fitting, quite tailored in its effect,
the skirt was metliumly full, cut cir
cular and without any trimming. It
was trimly short and showed shoes
FRENCH TRENCHES TAKEN
BY GERMANS. IS REPORT
Berlin, Jan. 6, By Wireless to Lon
don, 2.55 P. M. —French trenches in
the Argonne were occupied yesterday
by tierman troops and in upper Alsace
French troops were driven away from
a position near Sennheim (Cornay), ac
cording to the tierman official announce
ment given out in Berlin this after
noon. In Poland relatively minor Ger
man successes aire related. These in
clude the takinig of 1,400 prisoners.
The text of the announcement follows:
"In the western arena of the war
the French continued yesterday their
systematic bombardment of villages
situated behind our front. They seem
indifferent to the killing of their own
countrymen and to the destruction of
with the uppers and backs of sand
colored cloth to match the dress and
the front of the shoes of black patent
leather. A cunning little round hat of
sand-colored velvet trimmed with a nar
row band of beaver fur was worn with
this suit which all in all was most
complete from the soft crown of the
hat to tho sand-coloreil heels of the
shoes.
Velvet was in evidence in black and
midnight blue. This fabric has been
most /fashionable all fall and winter,
for both evening and afternoon dressei,
and is much less trying in the deep
blue which is so new, than in the black.
The soft quality of the velvet, which is
termed chiffon velvet, is much more
adaptable to draping than the velvets
of old.
Tho black velvet hat has been ex
tremely smart since Inst summer when
New York startled even itself by wear
ing velvet toques in broiling weather.
The black, however, is giving way to
the dark blue velvet. The hats are
made i:i just tho same way and trihimed
iu the same manner. Th sailor shape
is the most popular, and the ostrich
fringe is taking the place of the fringe
like trimmings of monkey fur which
was the rage in the fall.
The Belgian soldier's cap has been
used as the basis for a charming little
toque worn bv a charmingly drossed
young womfln at the Horse S'IOW. It
was rather round iu shape and flattened
over one side of the head, running to
a point at the crown. A long straight
quill ran straight up tho back. It suits
the fashionable coiffure very well in
deed.
It is only once in a while in the
history of dress that it is as becoming
to the young girl as at the. present time.
The tight skirt slashed to give room
for walking had no place in the voung
girl's wardrobe. In fact, she looke I
very much out of place in it. But tho
full skirts of the winter's mode, with
or without the long tunic, are ex
tremely appropriate to the slimness of
youth. So is the long Russian coat
belted at the hips and the blouses which
are an off-spring of the Balkan middy,
the jumper anil the basque. The large
flat hat is infinitely more Becoming to
the girlish face than the small severe
ones which have been the rage and
J still are to a great extent.
A. Princess Dress With Fulness Sliirred
From Bust to Hips
Some ot' tho serge frocks for wear
at school arc especially good for the
little girl under twelve. They are often
made with waist and skirt ill 0110 aui
unbelted. The waist, is cut away Sjt
neath the arms, and the front and baek
is cut in U-shape. The edges of this
frock are bound with wide black silk
braid, and a cunning little shirt of linen
is worn beneath the dress in place of
the conventional guimpe. The sleeves
of this shirts are long, finishing with
turned back culTs which fasten with
cuff links. A collar is made to turn
over also and is finished with the links.
The coat which is made to button
straight down tho front with a wide
rolling collar, is decidedly suitable for
a youngster. It is warm, comfortable
and most becoming to the childish face.

bardment causes us very little trouble.
"At Houain and in the forest of
Argonne we captured several of the
enemy's trenches and made prisoner*
of two officers and 2(M) men.
"The French again obtained a foot
hold early yesterday on the much
fought tor height west of >Sennheim
(Gernay) 111 Upper Alsace, but they
were again driven off after a strong
bayonet attack. They have not dared
to attempt further advances. Fifty
Alpine chasseurs were takeu prisoner
by us.
"In the eastern arena of the war
there were no changes yesterday on the
eastern frontier or in Northern Poland.
In Poland, west of the Vistula, our
troops penetrated as far as the branch
of the Sw'ha river, after having cap
tured several of the enemy's points of
support. One thousand four hundred
prisoners anil nine machine guns were
left in our hands.
"The situation on the eastern bank
of the river Pilica remains unchanged.
