Surrounding the building Is a beautiful tropical garden planted with botanical specimens from Ceylon. To the west of Ceylon and near ths floral elock Is Canada's club hu? on the fair grounds. It Is two stories high and surrounded by porticos. India Is represented on a site Just east of the Forestry, Kish and Uame v.il.oe by a reproduction of the tomb of Ktmad Itowlah, at Agra. Mlnmvts and bulbous, domes, characteristic of the architecture of that country, grace the structure. The foreign government section can be easily and quickly reached from any por tion of the grounds by the Intramural railway, and here during the fair will Ity the flags of the nations and be heard the babel of many strange tongues.

Therefore, when milady adorns her charming self, she seeks appropriate ma terial and harmony of color to accent the barbaric ornaments which embellish her costume. She avoids that which disfigures und affects that which enriches and beau tilles. Hhe is affable, mid gracious as she Is conscious that she Is original or indi vidual. Very naturally, milady when traveling abroad eariustly seeks the homes of tho easants for family trinkets of silver or Multum in IJarvo It takes more tact to tell n lie, success fully, than It does to tell the truth. Friendship, like gold, needs tho acid test of adversity to determine its purity. Many a man while looking at the stars lias stumbled over a stone and broke his neck. An old hat and a threadbare coat will shed friends, even as a duck's feathers hcd witter. More people rust out than are worked out. The best sort of success Is the success that belps others to help themselves. Hard work, not cleverness, wrests the best successes from optxirtunit y. You cannot Judge of the amount of a man's bank account by the height and texture of his silk hat. It is easy to tlnd something good to say of suet ess. but the struggh r must go a begging for encouragement. Philadelphia, Press. A Bachelor's Reflections Women are awful soft and warm except In the spots where they are hard and rool. It takes a lot of education to teach a woman what he already knows by In stinct. It makes a woman awfully ashamed to have her husband not know any better than not to pretend to her friends he Is making so much money he wishes she could be made to bpend mors. New York Pre. unique metals In particular. In order that she may adorn herself In cosmopolitan America uccording to her liking. Even In the t'nited States the foreign settlements are invaded for such trinkets, which aro usually held, however, In a tenacious grasp; but Judicious cajolery ofttlmes proves a templing bait when a crisp note of Uncle Sam's is tendered In payment. Bracelets fashioned from silver dollars given by tourists when visiting Alaska or Mexko ihpsiss a double satisfaction when the process of carving with a rlnglo tool is visible "whllo you wait." Fobs of metal and bcudwork. co'lars und chains of beads, bone and colored silks, held together with bits of t liver uniquely chased In design are the rage. The collector in her travels has a keen eye for the nrtbttio. When in the west she pounces upon the LI'.s of handsome metal which ornament the harness of the broncho or lean pony of the Mexican Indian. These ornaments aro called "conchos," and they runic In vurlous shapes. Some of them are circular. These maku handsome cloak buckles when clasps nre added by a "civ ilized'' Jeweler. All are artl.ilioa 'ly deco rated with designs of the Swastika cross and other fanciful carvings. In the center of each one is a I uri!:oi.-e, wlib h looks beautiful when set In the silver. Dealers in Indian good in all the large cities discovered si.nie time ago that llii'pe "conchos' are Just the thing for bead bills, When a clasp and buckle aro soldered on the under side, and since they have beccme so pi rular they may 1 s purchased in nearly all cities. However, they wl'l never become common because the;- nre expensive, nor Will thry ever go entirely out of fanhlon. The "fair barbarian" knows this, so when she has an opportunity to pick up these things In hi r travels, rl.e does so at whole sale. Sho often pays fabulous prlc-.i for genuine antiques of military origin and re turns home laden with her spoils for belt buckles, cloak fasteners, hair ornaments, dog collars, rings or bracelets. Thricv for tunate Is she If she can watch thi silver smith deftly hammer the snail design on her bracelet and belt, nnd see blm Insert the opal pcrodate, turquoise or Arizona ruby. If Bhe desires a Swastika cross on be ring or necklace she signiilcs this fact by pantomime, wnereupon the Indian proceeds to carry out her ordirs. He whips out his Jackknlfe, a crude affair, ur.d with hi.: ham mer of stone, shaped like iin egg. nnd about the size of a man's list, he skillfully "engraves" the quaint cross which rep resents the four quarters of tho ta'th. When his tusk is completed he says to ids patroness as ho presents the ornument, "May the four winds from the four corners of the enrth blow gently upon you forvver." Porhnps he hammers and chisels ths cross of dondee design oJopted by the an cient Franciscan monks, representing tho same thought. Necklaces of silver brads, with six tlry crosses, at regular Intervals, hung upon them, and further ornamented with a crescent pendant, were worn by the high priests, while the chief's necklace was adorned with a pendant only. One New York woman, who Is noted for her excellent tuste, has a belt made from copper rents and other coins, graduated in size, held together by tiny loops of wire. It Is worn with a copper color broadcloth. Upon her fingers are rare designs In rings, green settings being the vogue. Her collar Is a miniature replica of her belt, while her bronse or copper-colored hair boasts long pins with hugo disks in appropriate design to the rest of this out tit. Whistler Memorial (Continued from Page Five.) does not seem to have given rise to any spirit of envy. Mr. Whistler himself, al though like Homer, he has already been claimed by many cities I,owell. Baltimore, llelleville, Stonington and St. Petersburg was actually born In Lowell, Huston's cot ton manufacturing outpost. In July, IRS if there is any truth in the baptismal register of St. Ann's parish. His father was for a time chief engineer of the Locks and Cnnnl company of Lowell. Tho houso In which the nrtist was born, al though altered, is still standing. It Is, therefore, considered particularly ap propriate that tho most Important Whist ler exhibition ever held, or likely to be held, should take place so near the paint er's birthplace, and there Is every evi dence that the visitors who attend the exhibition, Judging from various social whlsiierings in the air of the city, will make up an equally noteworthy gathering of American, Canadian and Kngllsb art lovers.
