their onco profltablo branch of manu
facture. As a result of the decline of
lalainio religion and tho rise of Chris
tian presttgo In southeastern Europe
the use of tho fez In Thraco and Mac
edonia already has declined. A recent
writer says that apart from tho In
fluence of decimation of the Mahome
tan population by the war, tho Turks
who remain In Europe as subjects of
the Christian states will soon, as for
mer examples have shown, exchange
tho fez for tho lambskin cap worn by
the Christian peasantry. Tho fez, It Is
remarked, Is merely an adaptation of
tho ancient turban, and the only thing'
that matters to tho Mahometan is that,
his headgear should have no brim, or
oven shade, so that ho may alt on tho
floor of the mosquo as prescribed by
the Koran with a covered head, and
yet, when Baying his praperu, touch
tho ground with his baro forehead. For
this ceremonial the lambskin cap
would do just as well,
Admiral George Dewey, hero of Ma

from midnight banquets, and be added:
"So Bhould any man who wants to feel

to please bis friends and admirers.
The American banquet, an ornate

constitution to withstand the demands
of the banqbet table.
Every now and then la started a
spasmodic crusade to protect the doll
and Its Instinct of motherhood against
the wooly dogs, cats, teddy bears and
other animal usurpers In childish af
fections. The modern passion for
crusading Is so strong that the object
Is often absurdly out of proportion to
the efforts put forth; indeed, is of
mall importance in Itself as long as
It gives the' overactive crusaders
something to work on. The doll has
been so long in tho business that It
can be trusted to tako care of itself,
and tho society for Its protection re
cently organized in Germany, may
with quiet minds leave tho fondling
of little wooly dogs to tho little girls
without Imminent danger to tho foun
dations of human society.

that the first requisites or any ed

HOW many people would recognize
George Washington it they met him
face to face and modcrnly dressed on
a city street?
How many school children, coming
directly from the exerclsos colebratlng
the birthday of the father of our coun
try, would resognizo tho immortal Wash-
V I ingion it lie ttiooa on wo scuoomouse
v stons and cave them greeting as they
wont out?
"Every ono," answers tho public.
"Not ono," say experts In Waehlngtonla.
The public, secure In its knowledge of the por
traits accepted as Iportraylng the features of
Washington, is confident that It knows Washing
ton too well to mako any mistake. Tho historians,
knowing of what the public is ignorant, calmly
aver that not one American patriot in a thousand
knows what tho first president looked like in life.
For the accepted picture of Washington, the fa
mous Stuart portrait which has been handed
down through the generations as being a lifelike
representation of Washington Uneumonts, which
has been reproduced hundreds of times, and from
which Americans havo learned to know, or think
they know, what ho looked like, has been exposed
and hold up to criticism and branded as overy
thing but a resemblance of Gcorgo Washington.
Tho public, which for 110 years has looked upon
tnls face doptcted in books, magazines, on flags,
everywhere that the face of tho father of the
country has been reproduced, nover has seen a
faithful ljpinwnlilIoii of what Waeiitiifcton
looked llko In the flesh. Trusting little school
children, gazing upon tho classic countenance
on the schoolroom wall, hnvo been basely de
ceived. Washington did not look llko that, or
anything near It, It Is said.
This picture, say tho researchers, Is far re
moved from the true Washington. The public,
they say, doesn't know tho father of the country
and wouldn't recognize him If they mot him face
to faco on the street.
Tho how and tho whyfore of thU stnrtllng an
nouncement comes through the dlsclosuro of a
real Washington, a poi trait qulto different from
tho accepted ono. Thli portrait, painted by the
great Washington painter, Stuart, In 1705. Is
dcclaredjto he the one that shows tho man as he
really was, depleting hiB features and characteris
tics with tho sternest fidelity and truthfulness,
and making n likeness so true that It should
havo been handed down through the ages an a
record of what Washington looked llko. It was
accepted as' such by Mrs. George Washington
and by th" entire household at Mount Vernon.
Surely, say tho historians, IiIb own wife and
family ought to know what Washington looked
like! Rut this portrait, tho "true Washington."
Is not tho one that tho public has boon led to
believe is George Washington,
Tho commonly accepted portrait, the one which
hangc In duplicate on the walla of every pchoo'
room in tho land, nnd which Americans confl.
dontly point out as a picture of the father of
tholr country, Is qulto another picture. It also
was painted by Stuart, In 1790. but the magic
bond thnt had made tho painter and subject at
ease with each other waB gone, and Stuart turned
from his work in disgust, doclarlng thnt tho pic
ture lacked tho animation thnt characterized
Washington, and was novor complotcd.
Yet this Is the plcturo which has boon accept
ed as absolutely correct Mrs Washington didn't
llko it; but tho public nnd Washington's old sol
diers llkod it, It was tholr Idea of whnt they
wanted their hero to look llko. Hence Its rnpld
growth Into popularity, and the practical eclipse
of the other portrait, declared to be the truo
Washington.
Stuart, It Is well ktitfwn, mado throe great a
tempts to transfer the being of Washington to
canvas. Tho first was, so the painter declared, a
failure, because the confidence necessary be
tween subject nnd artist was lackliiK Tho sec
ond waB a success. 8tuart learned that ho could
got his famous sitter interested In "talking
horso." and so he painted him as he really was.
Tho third attempt resulted In tho conventional
"household Washington." It lacked, said Mrs.
Washington, truth. It lacked, said Stuart, the anl-
matlon characteristic of the general Hut It made
Its way Into popularity. Hence, eav historians,
tho public knows not the country's own father.
"Upwards of thirty oil paintings from llfo by
different artists, a .full decimo of statuos, and
hundreds of pen and shadow pictures are In tho
collection of Washington faces now scattered
throughout the libraries, museums, and prlvato
colectlons of this country," writes Dr. Bernard J.
Clgrand, director of tho Chicago public library:
"Besides these varied originals have boon the
foundation of many hundreds of famous copies,
not counting tho nearly 400 different engravings
formed from theso sketches from life In all
making the largest assortment of likenesses mado
of any human being and representing the prog
ress of the art of painting and sculpture, as well
as engraving, since the year 1772 down to this
present day.
"The entire time whloh he- must have spent
before tho critical eyes of these famous artists,
If summed up, would doubtless reach at least a
full month, and whilo his personality has been
caught In its great varieties of moods, yet tho
complex physiognomy has been deduced to five
basic faces which aro standard as relates to age,
character and physical formation.
"The first among these Washington faces is
the ono produced by Charles Wilson Peale, who
at tho Invitation of Washington called at Mount
Vernon and painted the first portrait of the emi
nent Virginian; this was begun on May 20, 1772,
whon Washington was 40 yoars of ago. ThlB pic
ture Is especially Interesting since It Is the ear
Host reproduction of tho faco and form of Wash
lngton He paid Penlo about $100, and during
tho remainder of his career Peale painted eight
moro from life, tho dates being 1772, '77, '79, '84,
'85. '87, '94, and '95. These studies are practi
cally all recognized as worthy of tho artist and
the man,
"The war for Independence waB Just ended nnd
tho treaty of peace signed when tho state of Vir
ginia engaged' In the discussion as to how it
could beflttlngly- recognize tho public service of
Washington, one of Its natlvo and loyal sons.
After a vnrlety of propositions had been disposed
of. tho legislature finally voted that a statue of
him should bo orected In his honor.
"Benjamin Harrison was tho governor at the
time and waB personally intrusted by the legis
lature to execute tho wishes of tho resolution.
Ho immediately wrote to Franklin and Jefferson,
who were In Paris, to engage tho best sculptor
of all Europo; the governor also called attention
to the fact that ho had ordered Mr. Peale to
make a full-slzed painting of the general, nnd
this ho would forward as a model for the sculp,
tor, Frnnklln and Jofforson were not long in
selecting tho artist. Ho was a Frenchman by the
name of Joan Antolnn Houdnn,
"When ho was informed of tho oil painting
project ho Immediately objected, saying that If
Virginia wanted a living likeness of Washington
ho must have his own wny as to arriving at the
produjjf; that would mean that ho must cross tho
Atlantic, visit with Washington, and carefully
model tho fnco from tho living, tako impressions
and casts, and laboring along exact rather than
lmpreBslonnl lines. This was quickly agreed to
by Frnnklln nnd Jefferson, but tho terms of tho
aflulr wore dimcult to arrange.
"Tho Bhort, Industrious nrtist was in no great
hurry to lenvo gay Paris for tho wilds of Virginia,
and between Illness nnd rush of work It was
nbout ono year before ho set sail. He perchance
came across with Franklin, who, on. arriving,
wroto n letter of Introduction to Washington.
"The Houdon stntuo has beon accopted as the
nenrest truo physical reproduction wo possess
of tho groat commandor, oven Peale and the
critical Stuart admit this, and tho Virginians
never grow tired of what Stuart said: "It Ib the
hoad of Washington pai excellence." Additional
testimony or the truthfulness of tho Houdon
statue dates to 1860 (Fob. 22), when tho congres
slonnl committee, after dlllgont and lengthy dis
cussion, accepted It as the standard Washington
for busts, medals and coins.
"The military Washington we get In the John
Trumbull plcturo, which has caught tho daring
nnd dashing element of the wnr general. Trum
bull did ovorythlng with the grentost possible
exactness, and every detail In tho painting Is
from llfo and from nature. The horso and the
background are tho result of standings and poses
and roprooent n world or detail. When It waB

ting or Washington. A large delegation or Indian
chiefs were visiting him and, anxious to see what
they thought of the picture, he had the artist set
it in a large room opposite the entrance and so
arranged as to give It a panoramic setting. Then
ho had tho artist take tho Indians through and,
to the amazement of tho general, who was unob
served, the Indians believed It to be, tho real
Washington, and only artor they were allowed to
go forth and examine it did they desist In paying
homage to the painting.
"Tho Trumbull plcturo Is Indeed a great pro
duction, and while It has always been recognized
as tho military spirit, strange to say tho por
trait remained unengraved for nearly a century
tho first time It was Illustrated: In 1883.
"The last picture made from life was tho work
of the Frenchman," Charles B. Memln. He was
tho inventor of tho physlonotrace, by which,
through mechanical arrangement, the accurate
shape of tho head and the outlines of the faca
were registered, and tho artist only supplied the
life' or human toUch. The original Is lost, but a
good copy remains It Is pronounced a good

YOU WHO HAVE TEMPERAMENT
Make Sure' It Isn't III Temper, Egotism, o,
Worse, Selfishness.
Temperament, as applied to Individual peculiar
ltlcs, was a word not In the old-fashioned family
vucabulary. Helen Coale Crew, writing In Lip
plncott, comments:
"Time waB and thnt not many decades ago
when we all had temperament of one sort or
another. I might have a gloomy temperament,
you a genial ono, our friend a phlegmatic one;
and the kindest, simplest soul among us was aa
temperamental as his nervous nnd complex
brother. Nowadayn we apply tho word to put a
single class or individuals, and tho test or tern
porament seems to be that a man shall always
do the unoxpected, and shall bo extremely diffi
cult to live with. And as In Attic days there
were but Greeks and barbarians, today there are
but tho temperamental and the commonplnce.
"Fortunately, an overwhelming proportion of
us aro commonplace; for no family could, with
prldo nnd difficulty, support more than ono tem
peramental member. It Is tho commonplace who
bear the brunt of living, offering themselves as
buffers between those favored creatures of tem
perament and the dally friction of ramlly life.
Wo must needs be tender of them, for It Is of
them that geniuses are made. 'Bo .careful of Ed
ward' feelings,' la tho constant warning of an
anxious mother. 'Ho has so much temperament
and Is so sensitive!' And Edward continues to go
about with nn lll-bnlanced chip on his shoulder,
which his brothers and sisters dare not knock
off, though among themselves they are woll
nwaro that knocking about Is what he needs
above all else,
"If every Individual of temperament became a
full-fledged genius, no amount of forbearance
would seem too great a price to pay on the part
of the payers. Unfortunately, many fall just
enough short of this desired culmination to keep
us In doubt all tho time. And he who falls short
of ripening Into tho genius he lias for years ex
pected to be Is likely not to ripen In any direc
tion, but to harden Into a disappointed, exacting
creatures, needing a still larger and more devoted
group of buffers to save his tender mental shim.
"At tho risk of even losing a few geniuses out
of the world, would It not be better to turn over
all temperamental children to their commonplace
brothers nnd sisters without reservation? Chil
dren aro wlso creatures, oven tho dullest or them.
Tholr cruelties are, In the long run, kind. They
will replaco tho aggrosslvo chips upon Edward's
shoulder with the burden that belongs thero
that or serving as he would bo served and en
during as ho would bo endured. And If, with
this fair play all around, he blossoms Into a genius,
wo aro only too thankful to rlBe up and call him
blessed!"

Blankets grow on trees In Ecuador,
and while the Idea of an all-woolen,
fresh from the forest bed covering
might give Insomnia and a backache
to the child of civilization, who likes
to snuggle comfortably under several
layers or down and wool, the natives
find It all right, sb In fact It Is.
When an Ecuador Indian wants a
blanket he hunts up a demajagua tree
and cuts from It a five or six-foot
section or the pecullarlly soft, thick
bark. This Is dampened and beaten
until the flexibility of the sheet Is
much lnoreased. The rough, gray ex
terior Is next peeled off, nnd the sheet
dried In the sun. The result Ib a
blanket, soft, light nnd fairly warm,
of an attractive cream color It may
be rolled Into a compact bundle without
hurt, and with ordinary usage will last
