Many American Citleg Suggest Age
and Permanence, Say E. V.
Lucat, Visitor From Europe.
Looking jack on It nil, I realize
that America never struck me ns u
new country, although Its Inhabitants
often seemed to be a new people,
writes E. vV Lucas In the Outlook.
The cities .are more mature than the
citizens. Nnjv York-, Chicago, Boston,

street, New York would not nppear
to be a younger place than London,
mid Boston nilKht caRlly strike him
as older. Nor Is London more than
a little oldeivVvcept In spots, such as
yie Tower, anil the Temple and the
Abbey and that little Tudor row In
llolborn, all separated by vast tracts
of modernity.
Indeed, I would nlmost go further
and say that London sets up nn Il
lusion of being newer even than New
York, by reason of its more disturbing
street trafllc both In the roads und on
the footways, and the prevalence of
the gnyly colored omnibus which thun
ders along so many thoroughfares, In
uotnble contrast to the sedate and
sober vehicles that serve Fifth avenue
and are hardly seen elsewhere.
Modern Feminine Garment! Such That

No longer does It "take her all day
to dress."
Quietly and steadily woman has got
rid of many checks upon rapidity of
dressing; has consolidated garments,
abolished button!, done away with
hooks and eyes, abandoned very often
even corsets nud the "fixing" of her
hair, while man Is quite ns slow a
dresser now ns when Uncle 0. Depcw
repeated his tlrst story.
Not, of course, If woman garbs her
self, for purposes strictly social. This
means one-tenth dressing and nine
tenths preparation of an armament
that no stupid League of Nations would
ever hope to curb. Very different Is
the morning method of feminine ex
ecutives, of glrl Intent on business,
study or art, of stump-speaking ladles
when in transit.
Brother dared himself with speed
when tlrst he fastened trousers with n
belt, though buttons still remain for
the "wesklt" and the coat and that
weary round of pearl and gold buttons
for the shirt. But sister takes her one
piece suit at a single hurdle and snaps
a single "snapper" nt the waist.

told us how, ns a boy, he Jearned tho
way Indians inndu their Hint arrow
heads.
lie had unearthed n beautiful har
poon of bone, lie had n toothbrush
with him, and the bone handle of this
he chopped off and ground down on u
piece of nndstoiit to make u hurpuon
of his own; but he could not grind
Mich cleiin-ciit barbs as those of the
relic.
Tbe boy then took bis Hint-scales
nud chips and set to work with them.
The Hint cut the bones away, but left
the work rough. Then accidentally
he Hindi a discovery, for no sooner
had be begun to rub the hone truns
verbcly on tbe Hint than the bone cut
the Hint away. Not Jaggedly, as his
liammer-stono would have chipped It,
but In long, continuously narrow sur
face furrows wherever the edge
was caught In the hone at u certain
angle.
He never finished that harpoon. He
turned It about and used lt us an ar
row cutter, by tying It to it little rod
of wood with a shoestring. He had
found out bow the Indians made ur
row heads.
