ARTIFICIAL SUNLIGHT Now York City.~There Is a certain charm Inherent In the shirred waist which always renders it desirable for sole materials, This season when everything fashionable is pliable in the extreme and can be crushed into the smallest possible space, it has been more than usually in demand and ex- ceptionally attractive. Illustrated is one of the best of all models that is eminently simple yet which gives the best possible lines. In the case of the original the material is pale blue ra- dium silk, but the list of available silks alone is a long one, while the chiffon voiles, mousseline, chiffon and the like are all much to be desired, as also are embroidered and Jace nets. Automatic Pl LO Generators can be installed at small cost in any home, large or small any- In this instance the waist is worn with various other Millluery bands, cabochons and concelts in brooches. Trade Review, ete, Distinguishing Tdeas. Toques of diminished size, and ap- propriately modified in character, and the crown of the French capote with a projecting rolled brim rising to a point at the top for the most part represent the distinguishing ideas which have ex- pression in the bonnets seen in collec- tions of headwear in the recent open- ings.—Millinery Trade Review. Sarplice Waist, There is no simple waist that gives a more satisfactory result than this one made in surplice style. It allows of wearing a chemisette of embroidery, tucked muslin or anything that may be liked, which being separate, can easily be renewed and consequently 1s exceedingly dainty in effect as well as in the height of style, In the illustra- tion it is made of white butcher's lin- en with banding of embroidery, the chemisette being of embroidered all over, but it can be made available for almost all waisting of the warm weath- er and algo will be found a most ex- cellent design for the light weight flan- nels, albatross and the like which are sure to be in demand in cooler days. When these latter materials are used the chemisette would pref- erably be of muslin either tucked or embroidered, although tucked and plain taffeta are used while banding can be almost anything that may be liked, but nothing gives a prettier ef- fect than the material with some sim- ple embroidery executed by hand. The waist is made with fronts and back, the latter being plain while the fronts are tucked at the shoulders. The right side laps over the left and where.

Power Behind the Throne Says News paper Correspondent, If one asks who Kodama is there are two answers; one, that he is the chief of the general staff in the Japan« ese army, and the other that he is, besides, a poor unlettered man, who, at 62 years of age, rules Japan and guldes her armies, Richard Barry, the war correspond- ent, says, in “Port Arthur,” that this man thinks while others sleep, and works while ofhers eat, He is the power behind the throne, the adviser at the general's ear. ' Many public men in Japan believe Kodama to be an unsafe person of second-rate capacity. He had been sent to Formosa, to “get rid of him.” There he raised the place from sav- agery to a commercial prosperity. He could have been prime minister. “No,” he said. “I would rather pull strings than be one of the strings to be pulled. Russia is peeping up over the border. Let us prepare. Give me a desk in the war office.” So the critics were glad to get the upstart out of the way. But when the war came, one man had his finger on things, and knew when and where to strike. He knew the points in the Korean coast where an army could be landed. He knew how soon it coyld be transported there; where all the merchant steamers were, and how long it would take to turn them into transports; and he had the audacity of genius. He was not a very presentable man. He had never traveled, and spoke nothing but Japanese. He would laugh like a boy at what he liked, and frown over what displeased him. And he scorned a frock coat and stuck to a kimono. But the emperor and the wisest heads about him knew what Kodama was, and although they could not, for pride’s sake, give him the command of the army, they crowned him with power. Obedience a Help. There is a woman down in Indiana who is hale and hearty at the age of 100, and when she was asked to what she attributed her age and health she replied, “Obedience.” And this, too, at a time when the women are having the word “obey” taken out of the mar- riage service and in other ways mani- festing the most supreme contempt for the old obligation. It is not to be be- lieved that there are many women who will care to drag out an existence of 100 years in a state of obedience, even if a fair degree of health is assured. The holy scriptures do not tell us how long the women lived, although we know that Sarah survived until she was 127 and was so obedient that the Lord blessed her with Isaac when she was 90. And it is fair to suppose that other good Hebrew wives were equally long lived and successful. Thus we see that obedience is of the utmost importance to the human race and is the source of happiness and prosper- ity. Still the women of this age are extremely stiff-necked and unreason. able. Insomnia. Slumber, hasten down this way, And, ere midnight dies, Silence lay upon my lips, Darkness on my eyes. Send me a fant dream; Fashion me si Into some c It g Change this mortal flesh. When I know one may not choose; One is helpless still In the purple realm of sleep; Jse me as you will, Let me be a frozen In the dead glacier : Let me pant, a leopard stretched On the Libyan sands. Silver fin or scarlet wing, Grant me either one; Sink me deep in emerald glooms, Lift me to the sun. Or of me a gargoyle make, Face of ape or gnome, Such as frights the tavern boor, Reeling drunken home. Work on me vour own caprice, Give me any shape; Only, Slumber, from myself Let myself escape! —Thomas Bailey Aldrich. Go Barehead to Church. The custom of going bareheaded. which New York women have exten sively adopted this summer, has spread even to the churches. At serv- ices which are held week evenings a large contingent of women attend without hats. “I bope the custom will extend to the theaters this winter,” said a West Side man. “Then women will not have to hold their hats in their laps. I alw feel sorry for women when they take off their hats in the theater. Their hair is usually disarranged, and taking care of a hat all evening is a nuisance. A woman never looks prettier than with a scart of lace or chiffon thrown over her head, and it is no trouble to take care of that. Women wear them in Lon: don and why shouldn't they in New York?” A Sound Indorsement. The home team having been inglori- cusly beaten when it had victory prac- tically in its grasp, the disgruntled resident of Mosquito Summit, N. J, remarked sadly: “I'm just getting dead sore on base. ball because it is so infernally uncer- tain.” “Yes,” coincided his little nephew, who was on a visit from Boston, “base ball, looked at from any point of view, is certainly a fluctuating quantity.” Subterfuge Get Interviews. Mme. Duse, who has a strong aver sion to being interviewed, was recent: ly beaten by the Copenhagen report: ers. One acted as waiter at the hotel, another acted as shoemaker’s assist. ant, a third drove her cab, and the fourth was assistant stage machinist, and all used bits of conversation for long interviews. | | {one of the engineers recently that th Negroes Immune to Yellow Fever. “Though in almost every industry In Mississippi and Louisiana partial paralysis is felt railroad bullding and repair goes on uninterrupted, as though nothing had happened, be- cause the laborers used are negroes and aro apparently immune from yel low fever,” sald J. B. Carbondale, of Jackson, Miss. “Large gangs are constantly working on the roads, and I understand from a talk I had wit Italians who had been used left, and negrqges are used exclusively, “He told me from his experience that mosquitoes which carry yellow fever had not attacked them, This seems true, when it was stated from another source recently that none of the negroes had died during the pres. ent epidemic. A negra is supposed to have a larger liver than a white man, and that may have something to do with it. At any rate, though the negro has been supplanted to some extent by the foreign labor during the last couple of years, he now shows his peculiar fitness for work in the far South, particularly in the delta where the fever is most rife. The Italiang live in unsanitary conditions, and when the fever comes they are attacked to a greater degree than others. The negroes live in condi- tions quite as unsanitary, and yet they do not suffer.”—Washington Post. senmeienlS ——— Many Perils of Women, A physician in Kansas City has] discovered that high collars worn by women produce cancer of the throat, and the Hopkins (Mo.)
