    KINDERGARTEN FOR LABRADOR.
The "furthest north" for kindergar
tens will be established next Bummer

In charge. Miss Olive M. Lesley, who
has been doing kindergarten work for
almost ten years In Cambridge, will
take ship shortly from Boston fof

Peary first got Into touch with civil
ization on his return from the North
Pole. From Battle Harbor Miss Les
ley will proceed by land to St. An
thony, and .there will establish, among
the half-wild boys and girls of that
section of Labrador, Just such a
school as she has been conduct
ing until recently among her little
charges in Cambridge. New York

, LIGHT BAGGAGE.
I have a friend who went to Alaska
on a pleasure trip with me with no
more luggage than a suitcase and
bandbag, and she asserts .that she was
perfectly comfortable. She had to do
' some planning beforehand, but the
result was worth it all. She wore
woven underwear that did not need
the services of a laundress, and a
tout walking costume which would
stand any kind of weather. Her one
concession to gentility was a black
India silk frock and a few silk waists
that would bear crushing. She was
accompanied by her husband with
even less luggage, for all of his be
longings were packed into a suitcase.
She is going to do the rest of her
traveling in the same simple fashion,
and she goes abroad each year.

Thin fabrics are again to be In
Btyle, plain, painted and embroidered,
and also brocaded silks and plain,
lustrous silks and satins. The latter
require more trimming, and, oddly
enough, soutache braiding is seen on
some extremely smart evening gowns.
A band of braiding Just around the
hem of the skirt and the entire Jacket,
or band across the top of the waist,
is a mass ot braiding. Again, this
is on the elaborate order of model,

DAYLIGHT DANCES SOCIETY FAD.
Daylight dances are the latest fad
In Washington society, and they are
proving a welcome relief from the
sombre sedateness of the Lenten sea
son. As might be expected, Mrs,
Nicholas Longworth is one ot the
originators ot the idea, and the
Countess von Moltke, formerly Cor
nelia Thayer, is among her ardent
supporters. The dances are entirely
original entertainments. First and
'foremost, no men are present, and
this Is explained by a hardly less in
teresting feature that much of the
dancing Is ot the Greek style made
fashionable by Isadora Duncan, and
bare feet and flowing draperies are
the rnle rather than the exception.
Moreover, the dancers are devotees
of the health-and-open-alr cult They
usually meet early in the morning,
and all the windows are wide open,
so as to make the exercise as health
ful as possible. Real exercise it is,
too, when the mornings are cold, for
..the dancers have to keep moving nim
bly to save their toes from freezing.

, FINE LACE COLLECTION MADE.
Mrs. Roosevelt has placed on exhi
bition in the National Museum in
Washington a beautiful lace fan
which represents the highest develop
ment in art in the golden days ot the
Italian Renaissance. Although Mrs.
Roosevelt only has lent her treasure,
tt is likely It will remain as her con
tribution to the lace exhibit which the
patriotic women of America are col
lecting for the Museum. Mrs. James
A. Plnchot has given the largest and
most valuable collection, and she has
also undertaken the task of cata
loguing the specimens. Another fine
Sift which the lace exhibit has re
ceived is from the will of Julia S.
'Bryant, daughter of the poet William
Cullen Bryant This includes seven
exquisite lace fans and twelve differ
ent varieties of lace from Flemish
'and French weaves, all ot the seven

recently sent a fine specimen of early
English ecclesiastical lace. Mrs. Levi

OFF WITH OLD, ON WITH NEW.
The Girl He's Tired Of
She was distressingly punctual at
every appointment.
She agreed meekly with everything
he said.
She pouted sulkily if he looked at
other girls.
She was Insanely Jealous of every
woman who figured in his past,
grudged him all other friends.
She told him ail she did, thought,
said, hoped and experienced, and ex
pected equal and continuous outpour
ings of the soul from him.
If he stayed away, she called him
to account.
She wrote to him too copiously and
too frequently.
She leproached him because his
ardor didn't equal hers.
She never gave him the fun ot
wondering if she really did care for
him.
She made her adoration a sure
thing, thus robbing it ot all the
ginger.
She rattled the chains so obvious
ly .that his one thought was to es
cape while there was yet time.
The One Who Interests Him '
She gives htm the excitement ot
waiting once in a while.
She frequently advances spicy opin
ions of her own.
She laughs at his flirtations with
other girls.
She listens sympathetically to his
past love affairs, and loves to hear
about his women friends.
She preserves secret depths beyond
his knowledge, and takes it for
granted he can conduct himself prop
erly without making her his mother
confessor.
Her letters are brief, Jolly, and Just
so infrequent that he wants some
more.
She Is (apparently) dellclously ob
livious to vhe degree of his ardor, t
She keeps him guessing Just what
is the real attitude ot her own mind
toward him.
She isn't indifferent, but neither is
she a dead certainty.
She never dictates, never binds,
never restricts his liberty; yet in this
very freedom he is her willing pris
oner, and does not want to be re
leased. Indianapolis News.
Suit Jackets were never shorter.
Hats generally will be rosedecked.
Dangling earrings are in great fa
vor.
Crochet buttons are to be much
worn.
Pleated skirts with tunics are in
the lead. '
Button shoes seem to be the order
of the day.
Turn-back collars and cuffs are to
be worn again.
There is a tendency to have girdles
quite wide in front
Buttons ot Dutch silver are fash
loned into cuff links.
Self-colored dots of various sizes
will be seen on some ot the handsome
woolen dress fabrics.
The wide Gibson pleat continues to
give the broad shoulder effect in shirt
waists ot the tailor kind.
. Large bows ot filmy net and lace,
wired into sNape, are being worn as
ornaments with the flat coiffure.
Cuban heels, quite high, seem to
predominate among shoes, and there
are also many military heels quite as
high. ,
Hip-length coats in Irish crochet or
Princess lace are in evidence as the
atre garments, worn as yet, of course,
under the opera cloak or street wrap.
Embroidered linen waists will con
tinue in style. An exceedingly pretty
model opens a little to the left ot the
front, the entire front being rich in
handwork.
The nun's veiling shirt waist is
very popular for the between seasons,
being delightfully light In weight and
at the same time warm enough for
comfort without an interlining.
While flowers of tulle and other
transparent stuffs will be in favor this
spring and summer for hat trim
mings, those fashioned ot braid will
be considered especially dressy.
The tunie that is straight across
the front is in general favor Just now.
It Is not unlike last year's washer
woman skirt in style, and is Indis
tinctly related to the long and over
used Moyen age style.

Smart Frills
New York City. Net Is one ot the
smartest ot all materials for blouses
this season, and this one 1b made over
a guimpe lining of thin silk, while it
is trimmed with soutache and the
frill is of silk. The same model would
be pretty for silk or lawn, batiste or
for any seasonable material, however,
and can be made available for such
by simply omitting the lining. The
tucks provide Just becoming fulness
and the frill gives a smart and dis
tinctive touch, although this last can
be omitted It a plainer waist Is wanted.
The sleeves illustrated are new and
fashionable, but they can be varied In
a number of ways. The deep cuffs
can be cut to form narrow bands,
making them of three-quarter length
or the puffs and the cuffs can be
omitted and the tucked short sleeves
only used. Marquisette in either cot
ton or silk will be found charming for
such a waist and net affords infinite
variety, while the lining beneath can
be made of thin silk or chiffon as
liked. When used without the lining
the waist would bedesirable for wash
able material.
The walBt consists of front and
backs, which are tucked on indicated
lines. The lining 1b a plain one, made
with front and back portions, and can
be fitted with darts or simply gath
ered at the lower edge or with darts
as liked. The trimming, which gives
An Essential.
An essential is that the false hair
must not be brought down far over
the forehead. This is all very well
In Paris, where the French women
have rather odd faces, and where
there Is no hesitancy.
Distinctive Notes.
It is quite apparent that draperies
ot all kinds, tunics, panniers, over
skirts and fichus are the distinctive
Botes of present styles.
:o Fashion
a yoke effect, is applied over the
blouse and the collar is Joined to the
neck edge. The sleeves are made In
three separate portions and can either
be arranged over the linings or Joined
one to the other.
The quantity of material required
for the medium size Is four and five-
eighth yards twenty-one or twenty-
four, two and three-eighth yards
thirty-two or two and a quarter yards
forty-four inches wide, with one-quar
ter yard ot silk or one yard of ribbon
three and a half Inches wide tor the
frills, soutache according to design.
For the lining three and five-eighth
yards twenty-one, two and a half
yards thirty-two.
Perfumed Hats.
A new little luxury has been In
vented for the benefit and delight of
women. This Is the trimming ot the
hat with perfumed flowers. Each ar
tificial flower is scented with its own
particular perfume, violets smelling
like fresh violets and lilies like real
lilies. The trick Is done by stitching
tiny sachets containing the desired
extract In the crown or in among the
leaves of the hat, and to come into a
roomful of women wearing these
scented hats Is like stepping into a
conservatory. Some women are go
ing to the length of scenting their
hats even when there are no flowers
in the trimming.
This outing suit of rose colored
linen has small tucks panneled in the
sides of the blouse and skirt. Black
linen is used for the belt, collar and
deep cuffs.
A Jaunty tie is drawn through the
slash In the blouse front, giving JuBt
the required dash to the whole.
A Rough Bird.
The popular chantecler appears as
an alleged ornament on round sailor
hats. He is not, in this case, a
smooth, well groomed bird, but a ruf-fled-up
creation, with his feathers
standing out in all directions.
Popular Hat Shape.
' One of the popular hat shapes Is
of black corded silk, slightly turned
up at the side and trimmed with black
and yellow plumes.
THE DEGENERACY OF THE NEW
S YORK INDIAN. I
From Iht Monthly Bulletin of th
0 Slate Department of Health. J
Tuberculosis is very prevalent
among the Indians at all reservations
and is responsible for one death in
three, it not half the total deaths.
It Is impossible to get the actual fig
ures, for it seems to be nobody's bus
iness to ascertain them.
Alcoholism is a very potent factor.
The white man's fire water has been
very largely responsible for the rapid
physical detrloratlon ot the Indians.
Theoretically it is illegal to supply
alcoholic liquor to an Indian; practi
cally he has little or no difficulty in
procuring all he desires. As might
be expected, there Is a very great
amount of Immoderate drinking.
It seems to be a reasonable conclu
sion that tuberculosis was practically
non exlstant among American Indi
ans before the advent ot the whites,
and the fire water Introduced by the
latter has certainly been an enormous
contributing factor; all the more for
the reason that the whites have,
through many previous centuries, be
come comparatively seasoned with
regard to this stimulant, to which
the Indian has not yet accustomed
himself.
The physiques of the present gen
eration of Indian children are Imper
fectly developed; the lymph nodes,
both Internal and external, are affect
ed; there are conjunctivitis, blephar
itis and corneal ulceration; eczema,
cold abscesses, pulmonary tuberculo
sis, bone and Joint tuberculosis. The
adult Indians of to-day have not the
endurance and stamina of their an
cestors. Exercise easily fatigues
them. Farmers cannot get the same
amount of work out of the Indians
they employ that is put forth by
white labor. Some of this may be
due to laziness or is the result of the
racial traditions and customs in ac
cordance with which the male Indians
hunted, fished and made war, and
left their squaws to till the fields;
but much is due to the degeneracy
here noted.
The Indian of to-day is emaciated,
stooping, inferior to the white In
physique; he does not now . present
the full chested, virile, robust figure
which characterized his ancestors be
fore thoy came to enjoy the influ
ence ot the white man's presence
among them.

FINANCE AND TRADE REVIEW
BRADSTREET'S TRADE REPORTS
Wintry Weather Affects Jobbing De
mand and Some Retail Business.
Crop Outturn In Doubt.
"Weather conditions and the unset
tled outlook for prices of many com
modities are causes assigned for the
quieter tone of trade In many lines.
Retail business, and to a certain ex
tent re-order demand from Jobbers,
was affected by the return early In the
week of wintry weather. These In
fluences were, however, largely tem
porary, and were largely offset by the
decided benefit to the crop outlook
generally by the breaking of the
drought.
"Doubt as to ultimate crop outturn
is still general as the mala reason for
buying for fall and beyond falling to
take definite form, but there is also
recognition of the fact that uncertain
ty as to the future prices of many
commodities is a drag on trade. In
a number of lines the evidences of ar
rested demand or pressure to realize
prior to new crops are visible In eas
ing prices. The situation in the cot
ton goods trade, where prices are still
steady, however, has been a bar to
active buying. Retailers are report
ed Inclined to buy only for absolute
wants, and present cost of production
of goods renders the manufacturing
line unprofitable at present prices.
"In the iron trade demand ie ap
parently not equal to supply of the
cruder forms, and curtailment of pro
duction, in evidence for some time in
the cotton trade. Is now talked about
as being actively pursued by furnace
men. Liquidation of old supplies and
lower prices for the new clip are in
evidence in the wool trade. Collec
tions are about fair.
"Business failures in. the United
States for the week ending with April
21, were 193 against "2C7 last week,
247 In the like week of 1909, 254 in
1908, 157 in 1907, 177 in 1906. Busl
nese failures In Canada for the week
number 15, which compares with 27
last week, and 36 In the correspond
ing week of 1909."
