Mrs. Howe's Candidate.
Mra. Julia Ward Howe Is said to be
largely responsible lor the election of
George H. Fall ag mayor of Maiden
Mass. During the campaign one of Mr,
Fall's opponents wrote a letter saying
bat though Mr. Fall had served In
the legislature he had done nothing to
Attract attention. Mrs. Howe sent an
Immediate anawer reminding the vot
rs that it was Mr. Fall who intro-
tuced and carried through the leglS'
lature the bill making mothers equal
' cuardians of their minor children with
fathers. Mr. Fall and his wife are both
lawyers and their eldest daughter re
cently distinguished herself In the
Boston University Law School. New

Virginia Suffragists.
Mrs. Benjamin B. Valentine has just
fceen elected president of the newly
organized suffrage club of Richmond
Va. The club may be said to have
bounded into existence almost in one
eight. The women of Richmond had
always shown themselves violently
opposed to giving the ballot to worn
n. One prominent woman made a
break by proposing euch a club and
nrlthin a few days the organization
was formed and women of all classes
applied for membership. Among the
women who are leading in the move
ment are Mrs. Beverly B. Munford
Mrs. Charles V. Meredith. Miss Mary
Johnston and Miss Glascow. New

Giving of Photos Costly.
Artistic photographs would seem
costly enough In themselves, but they
must be framed in a style Suitable to
that of the photograph. Therefore to
present a copy of your picture, framed
to every one of your friends means
the heaping up a big bill. Miss
Blanche Oelrlchs has been giving to
Intimate friends charming photo
graphs of herself, finished In the soft
pay tones and framed with broad,
flat frames of gray silver. The mono
jram of the giver was on one side,
the monogram of the recipient on the
ither. A few fashionable women have
tjislr photographs farmed In plati
num; but even Mrs. Newly Rich balks
sit the cost of such frames when she
Is going to give away many pictures.

Charming Bouquets.
The most charming bouquets ot
mall flowers set in frills of blond lace
find 'arranged In quaint designs have
keen sent from Philadelphia to some
fortunate debutantes. As large as- a
breakfast plate In diameter, and of
pyramidal shape, they have a cluster
of wee rosebuds at the top, a row of
white violets below, a star In pink
weet peas next, then violets again, a
tiff rim of green leaves and the lace
valance. A paper cone forms the hold
er and streamers dangle from It.
These bouquets are an echo ot the
Japonlca bouquets that graced each
place at the White House formal din
ners under President Pierce In 1S53.
These had wonderful cape ruffles of
lace paper, and for that season no
other flower was in favor. New York
Tribune.
Forwarder as Marriages.
Superstitious girls, used to carry
around tiny figures ot St Joseph to
make certain of getting good hus
bands. 'The traffic In the images was
(Teat, and great, too, was the faith
In the holy man's proxy power to
make love affairs run smooth. But,
alas! fashions In ealnts shift with the
modern girl as do fashions in all oth
er things. She prefers St. Nicholas
now. The Baroness Elizabeth Rosen,
daughter ot the Russian ambassador
In Washington, is the promoter of
the new fad. St. Nicholas is sup
posed to be a wonderful worker, es
pecially mindful ot unmarried folk
and those whose love affairs run far
from smoothly. The Baroness Eliza
beth told her chums about the super
stition and presented an Image to a
girl who had had a misunderstanding
with her true love. The result was
delightful. The girl will be among the
early winter brides. New York Press.
For Debutante.
Nothing will give' greater pleasure
to a debutante than one ot the smart
new decorations for wearing in the
hair with evening frock. These are
costly to buy, but can easily be copied
by clever fingers.
Acharmlng one is 'made from a
three-quarter inch silver gauze ribbon
with above it an equal width of blue
velvet ribbon, edged on the upper
edge with silver paillettes or rhine
Btone or crystal beads. The band is
caught to the head with tiny flowers
cut from cloth of silver and a small
wired bow of four loops is made from
the same material.
The bow Is placed slightly to the
left of front, and from It rises a feath
ery blue aigrette. This can be bought
and brlthened with small pelces of
wired silver tissue on silvered wire.
Another headdress is made from
gold net ribbon and pink messallne
ribbon wound together In loose coils
and run through the middle with seed
pearl. To the front Is a wired bow
ot the twisted materials, two long
loops and two pointed ends. New

The Casement Craze. '
There is an element which has come
Into existence during the last few
ears known as "new art." The way
the temples consecrated to us cult
are known Is by their long casements.
The chief article in the credo of the
exponents of this new art seems to
be that you are all right If you have
a room with a long casement filled up
with panes of diamond leaded glass
and a casement curtain olive green
for choice, drawn half way across the
opening.
It Is no matter what the size or
character of your room may be, it
must not have windows but cajse
ments. If you wish to be accepted as
one of the elect you must also, no
matter what the character of your
room may be, take care that the walls
are done up In rough brown paper,
aa though it was your intention to
paste a label on them and send them
off by express to their destination
when you found time to search for
string.
Now, one of the casement windows
Is In its right and hatural place In a
cottage the ceilings of which are nec
essarily low not perhaps so low as
those of the house In Ireland, where
nothing but plaice could be nut on
the dining table, but still low enonsh
for the windows to be a good deal
broader than they are high; it is,
however, absurdly out of nlace In a.
large apartment with a moderately
high ceiling. Queen.
Women Who Walk.
Walking for exercise Is .one ot the
means which New York City women
have found effective in reducing
weight and some of the most notable
figures In society are seen every day
on the avenue. Mrs. W. D. Sloane
la one of the most regular pedestrians
and every fair morning finds her on
the avenue. It not infrequently hap
pens that she will walk as far as the
residence of her daughter, Mrs. Bur
don, In 91st street. In the winter Mrs.
Sloane always wear a long seal coat
which reaches to the hem of her skirt.
From the other side of the street
comes Mrs. William K. Vanderbllt,
who attributes her Blight and youthful
figure to her regular exercise in the
open air. Mrs. Vanderbllt Is almost
aiways accompanied by a woman
friends and usually leads one of her
wire haired terriers. Mrs. Vanderbllt
is of all the New York matrons of her
age the slimmest.
Mrs. Reeve Merritt never misses
her morning walk, and she too is ac
companied by her little dog, which
sometimes finds It difficult to keep up
the pace which she strikes. Mrs.
Merritt has a Pomeranian, which Is
also led on a leash. Mrs. Vanderbllt
rarely appears with more of a wrap
than the cloth coat of her walking
suit and a fur about her neck. Mrs.
Merritt usually wears a long astrachan
coat below the hips except in milder
weather, when she is seen in a black
velvet walking suit and furs. No ma
tron In New York society ever ac
complished so much by her persistent
pedestrianlsm as Mrs. Herman N. Oel
rlchs. She has grown very slim and at
tributes most of her loss of flesh to
the persistency with whloh she has
taken her dally walk. She also selects
the morning hour when the avenue
is comparatively deserted. Her exer
cise is somewhat mere violent than
that indulged In by others, since she
generally keeps moving at a very ra
pid gait
Mrs. I. T. Burden is seen less fre
quently on the lower avenue nowa
days, but for years ebe was one of
the pedestrians wVo were to be met
dally on the stretch from Madison
Sfluare, where her bene used to be,
UP to Central Park. Mm Rveirn Bur
den, her older daughter, attributes her
slight figure to her constant pedes
trianlsm. The two Misses Gerry rare
ly raise their long walk on a fair day.

The bolero Is expected to be In
great favor the coming season.
The heavy crepe mournina veil Is
now rarely seen; instead there is a
light net veil, bordered with crepe.
The fur collar not Ions aza was
the recognized trimming for a cloak.
but now embroidery takes Ks place.
Since the fad runs to trimmW all
manner of garments It follows that ex
cellent use 1 made of the opportunity
to produce striking contrasts through
the combination of the white material
with dark trimmings.
Smart Frills
New York City. Coats of just the
length illustrated are among the new
est and smartest Bhown. ' This one is
exceedingly smart and gives the most
becoming possible lines. It is made
ot broadcloth and is trimmed with
soutache applied over an effective yet
simple design, which is edged with
plain banding and the revers are
faced with ribbed silk. The pleats at
the lower portion are both new and
graceful and the coat is meeting with
an enthusiastic welcome. The long
narrow opening Is a feature and the
single button marks the incoming
styles.
The coat Is made with front and
side-front, back and side-back por
tions and Is laid in pleats below the
trimming. The long, narrow revers
are rolled over and the coat can be
held by a button and loop or with a
braid ornament as liked. The sleeves
are In regulation coat style.
The quantity of material required
for the medium size Is four and three
quarter yards twenty-seven, three
yards forty-four or two and three
quarter yards fifty-two Inches wide
with three-quarter yard of silk and
four and three-quarter yards of plain
banding.

Over Illouse With Guimpe.
The over blouse Is one ot the de
velopments of the late season, and It
is being used in a number of novel
and attractive ways. In its later
form It Is quite simple in cut and for
the moat part is made in one with
short sleeves. The one Illustrated
shows it as its best. It is made ot
pretty thin silk with trimming of
banding and applique and it is worn
over a guimpe of tucked net. Over
blouses of this sort are very much
liked for chiffon cloth, however, and
for crepe de chine and similar ma
terials, and they are worn over
gulmpes of lace, flowered and Persian
silks as well as over the plainer ma
terial. In addition to serving for
separate blouses they are admirable
for use in combination with coat
suits, in which case the over blouse
would be made ot chiffon, crepe de
chine or messallne In color to match
the skirt with the guimpe in con
trast.
The guimpe is a simple plain one
with front and back portions and can
be made with or without the long
sleeves. The over blouse Is distinctly
novel. The sleeves are made In one
with it and the side portions are
lapped over onto the centre front and
backs to allow singularly effective use
ot trimming.

THE FIRST PANTOMIMES.
Introduction on English Stage The
Favorite Subjects.
The first pantomime Introduced to
the English stage was "Tavern Bilk
ers," and was by John Weaver. This
was in the year 1702. It was produced
at Drury Lane. The great Instltutor
of pantomime In England, was, how
ever, John Rich, who deviser this
form of entertainment in 1717. His
first emphatic success was in 1724,
when he produced "The Necromancer;
or, History of Dr. Faustus." So suc
cessful was Rich with his pantomimes
that Garlck, Quln and others became
exasperated. Rich lived to see pan
tomimes firmly established at Drury
Lane and Oovent Garden. He died
in 1761.
Regarding the subjects of panto
mimes, the most popular theme this
year Is, we are informed, "Cinderella,"
with "Babes In the Wood" second and
"Dick Whittlngton" third. If the Lon
don and suburban pantomimes are
taken alone "Cinderella" will again be
first, while "Babes in the Wood" and
"Aladdin" tie for second place. In
London and the provinces "Cinderel
la" has been chosen fourteen times,
"Babes In the Wood" twelve time and
"Dick Whdttlngton" ten times.
Looking back over the last eighteen
years we find that the most subjects
have been "Cinderella," "Aladdin,"
"Dick WMttington,' ."Robinson Cru
so," and "Babes In the Wood," in the
order given." From the Stage.
The Record of Raindrops.
It is by carefully noting small and
apparently Insignificant things and
facts that men of science are enabled
to reach some ot their most surpris
ing and interesting conclusions. In
many places the surface of rocks,
which millions ot years ago must
have formed sandy or muddy sea
beaches, is found to be pitted with
the impressions of raindrops. In Eng
land It has been noticed that In many
cases the eastern sides of these de
pressions are the more deeply pitted,
Indicating that the raindrops which
formed them were driven before a
west wind. From this the conclusion
is drawn that In the remote epoch
when the pits were formed the ma
jority ot the storms in England came
from the west, just as they do today.

Trouble in Vain.
A benevolent-looking old gentleman
was walking along the street when he
came upon on Irate parent lecturing
his offspring.
"Now, you young rascal," said the
angry father, "cut off home, and be
fore you go to bed to-night I'll give
you a good whipping."
The old gentleman mildly remon
strated: "My dear sir, perhaps I
have no right to Interfere, but remem
ber the wise old saying, 'Let not the
sun go down upon thy wrath."
"Don't you trouble yourself about
that," was the reply. "I won't do any
thing of the sort. Oh, no! What I'm
going to do is to let the wrath de
scend upon the son." And the old
gentleman felt that there was little
more to be said on the subject

BRADSTREET'S TRADE REPORT
Improvement Is at Much Lower Rate)
Than Anticipated and Is
Somewhat Irregular.
Trade reports continue to display a
certalri degree of irreguarity, a ten
dency particularly noticeable In the
East, parts of the nearby South and
In scattered sections of the west Yet,
on balance, trade at a majority ot
points Is probably better than it was
last week, the South as a whole re
porting Improvement, the Northwest
showing up in good shape, the far
West good, with the Southwest satis
factory, though house sales there are
lighter, whi'.e the West, except Ohio
and parts of Iowa, reports progress.
"More favorable weather conditions
appear to be the chief influence mak
ing for Improvement, but on the other
hand the poor condition of country
roads tends to deter anything like a
free movement. Staple lines are In
chief request, and as a matter of fact.
buyers continue backward as to future
I commitments.
I "High prices of manufactured goods
-and uncertainty as to their perman-
ence are the principal barriers against
j expansion In trade, but as the situa
tion stands manufacturers find It diffi
cult tq reduce prices on a large scale,
because raw materials are so high and
because present profits are not normal
ly remunerative. Summed up, the
turnover is larger than it was last
year, but the point ia that trade does
not measure up to anticipations, which
were keyed up to a high point.
"Retail trade has , improved at a,
few points, but on the whole the'
week's developments have not been
especially satisfactory, prospects of a
very early Ekister trade not having ma
terialized. Collections are slow. The
labor situation Is, if anything, more
unsettled than It was a week ago.
"Business failures for the week end
ing with March 10 were 250, agannst
184 last week, 254 In the like week of
1909, 278 in 1908, 1S6 in 1907 and 187
In 190C."
