tie that have

lived on our planet.
There la positive evidence that man wn
"heady a dweller on the earth In the !
rfnys of the mammoth and the mastodon, 1
tut they have gens Into extinction, while
he' not only remains, but has made enor
iWous advances In his phyalcal and men
tal development - and the conditions ' of
l.U life.
In a certain way the mastodon stands
typically for prehistoric America, and
tho mammoth for prehistoric. Europe.
Mommoth remains have been found In
America, and within the area of the
t'nlted States, and, similarly, mastodon
remains have been found In the old world
Put, broadly speaking-, the special home
ot the mastodon, so far as his relics
how. was In this country, while that of
the mammoth, was In Europe and Asia.
The relations of ' the cave men of
Europe with the mammoth have been
clearly revealed ( by archaeological ex
ploratlons. and pictures of the huge
beast, drawn by' the hands of men who
met him, and probably had fought with1
him, have been found In , the prehistoric'
caverns of France.- -.The discovery of
the frosen bodies of mammoths In the. !
y marones of Siberia has enabled us to ,
compare these drawings made bv our an. ;
clent forebears with tha m1 forma nt
tho creatures . that thev were Intoned
to renresent mil f ha ltirAmaBa -
; found to be astonishingly distinct.
1 Evidently those early men. clad only
; In akin garments and armed only with
speara and darts, pointed with flint and
! staghorn, were not afraid to encounter
; these immense beasts In hand-to-hand
conflict, and were able to slay them.
', To kill a mammoth, however, they must
" have employed other means than the
rude weapons just mentioned. Probably
' they used some kind of a trap, as the
natives of Africa did in capturing ele
phanta before the white man came with
" his guns. The details of the drawings
show that the cave men understood tha
anatomy of thelr'gtffatttlo game.
There la very little doubt that early
man met the mastodon In America Just
as he met the mammoth In Europe, but
the evidence la by no means so abundant.
The first human Inhabitants of this con
tinent left but insignificant marks of
...their preaenoe compared with the lnnum
"" erable traces of their possible content
" poraries on tha other side of the At-
lantlc This arises largely from the dlf
... ference of local conditions.
I It so happened that 1n those parts of
Europe, particularly France, where men
and mammoths met. extensive, drv cav
erns existed forming admirable and se
cure dwelling places for primitive men.
and here they made relatively large set
tlements and dwelt for many successive

there were no centers of population
comparable, for Instance, with the val
ley of the Vesere In Franks, .with Its
bordering caverns and ; rock shelters,
which furnished a kind of natural
metropolis for the eVve men. The pre-
" historic Americans were, evidently, less
settled In their habits.
V. But the mastodons assembled Jn chosen
places !f the men did not They seem
to have had a predilection for marshy
places. In which, with their huge, un
wieldy bodies,- they became helplessly
mired. The skeletons of mastodons were)
first found in ancient swamps west of
the Hudson river In New York.
There Is a place, some twenty miles
outh of fit Louis. Mo., called Klmms
wlck, where bones representing sever!
U. hundred mastodons have been discovered;
" at the foot of a bluff near the Junction
r of two little streama. It seems probable,

the American Museum of National Hls
torr. In his book on "Animals of the
. Past." that. In the days when these
f streams were larger the spring floods
I swept down the bodies of animals that
"i had perished during the winter, to ground
- in an eddy beneath the bluff. "Or. as the
iZ place abounds In springs of sulphur and
,alt water. It may be that this was where
a animals assembled during cold

The cause of the extinction of the mas
todons and mommoths remains to be dis
covered.

Br GEKMAIXE GAUTIER,
Although Paris holds the palm for the
creation ot robes and manteaux, it is via
England that many of the beat Ideas for
tallleurs find their way into substantial
and practical form.
The French themselves recognise the
fact that as the English lead In the
world of sport, it is logical that the tail
ored type ot garment should be of Eng
lish persuasion, made of Britsh fabrics
and cut and put together wth all th
expert workmanship and careful regard
for detail of finish that characterises tho
masculine suit Not pretty in the feminine
sense, to be sure, but exceedingly smart
If the cut be correct and the right sort
of woman dons th tailor made.
A brand new tailor-made model Is called
th Prince George. It is adapted from the
sort of suit worn by the first gentleman
of Europe . before he became regent for
his father George III., of England. It Is
elegant In its simple lines and, moreover,
permits the use of a little waistcoat to
accentuate the note of masculinity and ot
the earn time to feminise the garment
by permitting the employment of gayly
striped or flowered stuffs.
The coat Is longer than that of tho
usual suit. It might. Indeed, be called a
tailored redlngote. except that It has a
more austere dignity and greater dis
tinction. Perhaps this is due in a measure
to tb fact that it was Beau Brummel
who was mainly responsible for the evo
lution of th old-time garb of knee
breeches, silk hose, lace-frllled coats and
fussy attire generally, to the beginning
of modern dress for men, and the main
inspiration for street clothes for women.
Beau urummei was more elegant In
tastes and habits than hla royal pal
Prince George, but the nam of the lat
ter stands for royalty, and that of the
Beau for frivolity and foolishness. How
ever. In the day when Brummel flour
ished the title "Beau" was held In more
esteem than at present, and the man
upon whom It was bestowed needs must
have brains, tact and gracious deport
ment to sustain th role.
To return to th modern taflor-roade,
It may be stated that th French have
adopted the Ideas originated across the
channel and have added thereto certain
Inimitable touches that have made the
Anglo-French composition acceptable to
women the world over. The French be
lieve In th softening Influence of em
broideries, artistically and discreetly
used for fur, velvet and above all. the
vivifying splashes of color French to
the last degree;
Thls season certain of the Paris con
turiers have developed deniltalleures In
velvet and in silk pluah. They have
shown a marked preference for dull.
rich red, dark brown and black. The
lines are distinctly close-fitting and the
silhouette Is reminiscent of the year 1870
and thereabouts.
Such a model halls from the French
capital, made of Burgundy plush,
trimmed with bands of fur. The skirt
is prosaic In that it Is plain and un
pretentious save for Its great width.
The coat is cut off squarely In front.
at the waistline, the fur border begin
ning on each side thereof, and contin
uing about the hem. The fur reappears
in choker form about the nock and fin
ishes the sleeves. It is a model that
might be adopted with equal becoralng
ness by the young girl or by the matron
on the sunny side of 40, and therefor
presumably fair but not fat.
On cannot refrain from speaking of
the three-piece costume, which has
grown so amaslngly popular during tha
laat few weeks and which gives promise
of a big vogue during the deml-season
and the early spring. The three-piece
model comprises a skirt, blouse and coat.
Usually the blouse is of soma seml
dlaphanous fabrio with ' yoke , and
sleeves, unllned and touched up with
metalllo embroideries. Th skirt may
be of velvet, satin or fine cloth, but of
whatever material It must match the
color and tha weave of th coat. Th
latter must ' be of sufficient length to
reach to the top edge of the satin or
cloth of the skirt wher it Joins the
dlsphanous material forming a yoke
extension of the blouse.
In style the coat Is sometimes an
adaptation of the Cossock model, or of
the peasant smock, or of the fatigue coat
of a military officer. For. despite all
that has been said against encouraging
th war spirit through .th frivolous
realm' of dress, the designers, both for
eign and home talent, cannot resist the
temptation to use the dashing lines and
gay trimmings of modern warriors or
such a they were before stern realities
of war effected A change In material
garb.

And, on the other hand, many is the
time I have thought that I would cer
tainly die of heat prostration when
through long, hot, muggy days we made
thrilling moving pictures of snowstorms

I had to be appropriately dressed In seal

That's Just a little bit of what I have
to go through as the price of my career,

that they buy their success Just as dearly
as I do mine. There Is no easy success.
It all comes as hard as death.
If girls know how much work, how
much sacrifice, how much grit and en

to Just stay at home and be a comfort

Pear Miss Fairfax: Several years ago
my brother was obliged to leave the coun
try. Os account of poor health he re
turned about a year ago and lived In
remote section.
ll used all my means to try to buy his
freedom, but. being unable to obtain an
unconditional agreement, he was again
loreed to leave the country. In ordur to
keep him and his family supplied with
funds 1 went to live with his family.
A short time ago my brother died of
a tropical fever, and his estate cannot
be available for his family for some time.
His family, has no other channel to look
to (or support, and I find myself their
sole mainstay.
Previous to the death of my brother
a young lady I esteem very much de
manded an explanation, which I was
Uath to give, and our friendship was
broken.
A relative has now broached the sub
ject of marriage to my brother's widow
lo me and. in view of the duty and re
eponsibtltty I have already assumed, this
subject is not undenlrable.
I occasionally meet the young lady In
question and feel awkward. In a sense
of Justice 1 know an explanation Is due
her! A. W.
If you are planning to marry your
brother's widow it would be far kinder to
the girl for whom you one cared for
you not to reopen the situation by offer
ing her any explanation. If you do dis
cuss your family affairs with her you
naturally suggest to her mind th Idea
that you feel a rather deep Interest In
her. Since nothing can com of this In
tel est, don't suggest to her mind that
she means so much to you that you now
want her to understand the matter you
with to maintain.
Evidently Yss Are Jraleae.
Dear Miss Fairfax: I have known a
young man for several years, and during
that time we have loved each other
dearly. About a year ago we quarreled,
and for some reason he was attentive to
another girl.
A c tuple of months ago tie asked to see
me to explain his actions. He did ex
plain some, but with regard to the other
girl he said he had a reason fur acting
ss he did, but he told me to trust him.
Now I feel that the tales I had dis
credited before are true. Kindly advise
me what to do. Bhall 1 give li.in up? (
sittl love turn. F. F.
It appears that you do not trust the
man you love. There are two courses
open to you: either accept him as a
friend who Is free to have girl friends
other than yourself and of whom you
have no right to be Jealous, or have a
clear understanding with him and ask
him to explain to you Just what his at
titude in the matter is. Probably your
own Impatience urges you to settle the
matterand If you are ready to accept
whatever comes, either love declared or
a separation, have a plain talk with him.
But if you are onl, on a basis of friend
ship, why not wait for time to prove
him, and In the meanwhile make out
side friendships and cultivate an inter
