Hm ( litl Corn siiideiiei) Cliicwno, March 11. -The mnrr wo Ret to tho lid of May tho idronger Ih our conviction of tho titter Inahlllly of tho liuiium brain to grimti tho iniigul tudo of tho World's fair and Hit luljiitictn, and thu moro wo wilto about It, the inoro wo talk about It, tho moro wo tu t'Tvlow about It, tho moro confiiMiil and bowlldnrcd wo K"t H f(,r ,""" who Imvo tlio work to do, tho chlofM of thot'iillro ntcrjirlno iitul tho illrci'tliiK iiiludH of tho hundred and ono dcpait nioiitH, It Ihu wonder that they Imvo am mind left at all. Ono of them wild the other ovenliiK that liU head felt an though It wan only n network of cob wobri, and that when ulf-ht camo tho do InH of tho day toemed llku a dteam. During n niuglo hour of tho day in ciuel ion no ltwi than -10 cardri had been brought to him, 15 linportiiiit qucHtfou rclalliiK weighty matteiH, and which rci'tiltcd prompt coiiHldeiatiau, reached htadcrtk through tho clicumloeutloti bu rcnu, whllo thu boy in attendanco at the telephone kept plying him with iucric from peoplo down town who were "hold lug tho wiro" ho that thoy inlKht bo iih mtrcdofan iinmediato aiiHwor. "That in a greater or lewcr degreo," Bald ho, "in tho kind of experience soino of us havo to go through day in and day out. and 10 houiH a day at that." No wonder ho felt an though IiIh braiun hadgoiioout and cobwoliH had como In. Ami therowlll bo cobwebs In thocranl uiuh of many of our guewlH next year if they try to do too much in tho Hightwo ing lino. A fow inotitlm ago wo tliought wo know all about It. Wo Hpreail out upon our desk n Mrdaoyo vlow of the grotindH, a vcritnblo work of art, by the way, with Kh buihliugH In red and blue nnd whito nnd lavender, and ltn gold mounted domett and ita beautiful walkH nnd wo figured out howeaHy it would be to get from tho MauufauturcH building to tho Administration building, and thenco over to tho Woman's templo, and thonco to tho rendezvous of tho little ones, nnd around tho Electrical building nml over tho brldgo toUncloSam'H head qunrtera, and no on until all tho main structures of tho Whito City had been covered, and wo could go over to our own Htnto building, which over ono it happened to bo, and take a rest. It looked very Himido on iaper and without any llgnres to Htart ono thinking, but It doemi't look no simple to tho poo plo whoso biiRliu'HH now coiupvla them to inako tho rounds through huow tin to their ankles, nor will It look ho slmplo to Millionaire .Touch of Now York and Farm er Drown of Kansus when thoy Htart in on their sight seeing expedition next sum mer. It will behoove them, unless their visiting bo prolonged Into weeks or months, to mnke up their minds before hand what thoy propose to see nnd then to make sure that they see it. If they expect to take in anything and everything, to start out at the farthest end of tho Midway plalsauce nnd to continue to tho very extremity of tho fair grounds proper, making a mental picture of one attraction after another nnd storing their minds with informa tion concerning tho same, they will llnd out before they get back homo that they havo tried to do too much, and that, like the old man in the fable who tried to please everybody and Miccooded in pleasing nobody nnd losing hia donkey in the bargain, their visit to the great World's show has not been productive of the good results that might havo ac crued from a more concentrated and sys tcmatlo method of exploration among its wonders. Don't understand mo as suggesting that there is too much to tho World's fair. One cannot have too much of a good thing, as tho boy said when ro monst rated with for tilling himself up to his very neck with mince plo. It was in tended to be a big thing. The master minds that aro responsible for tho entcr pribo as it stands today started out to mnke it the biggest thing that the world had over seen, ho big that when, in duys to como, tho next World's fair of the North American continent is captured by New York or Boston or Philadelphia or San Francisco or some big place that just now is only n barren plain, its pro jectors will find that they havo all thoy can do, and ierhnps more than they can do, to equal, to say nothing of eclipsing, tho record of tho Windy City. And cer tninly they havo succeeded. There is something that will appeal in a personal senso to every woman and man that enters tho grounds, whother she or he bo in search of luuusemout, of enlightenment or of instruction. Stu dents of science or art or philosophy or education or medicine, of hundreds of other things, will find each a department In which they can linger for bonis and go away feeling till tho better for having done It. But tho individual that at tempts to take it all in without any fixed or definite inotivo beyond a desire to boast afterward that ho has "seen it all' will bo tho one that in reality has seen tho least, and who will be the first to complain that there is "too much of it.' It is not a ono man show. No one pair of lojp, no ono pair of eyes, is going to take in tho ramifications of Jackson park from center to circumforenco. That may bo accepted as gospel. And then there are tho outside attrac tionsthat Is to say, tho objects of inter est that aro part and parcel of tho busi ness end of tho enterprise, features that havo been granted spaco in fair terri tory, but will bo permitted to charge u fee for admission independent of tho half dollar turned over for admission to the park grounds. Tho number of these is legion. In fact, thero is one or more for every day from tho first of May to tho last of October. Monster wheels, or rather a monster wheel; a big theatrical sjxjctaclo, novel in design and daring in conception; colonies of Indians and Es kimos and Cingaleso; reproductions of streets in Cairo, Mohammedan mosques and Irish villages something or other from peoplo of nil lands and of all tongues.

Pretty nnd sen alblo most of tho spring dresses seem to le, and made with an eye to economy nnd easo in tho matter of Ironing aro those intended for "wash ilrcHseH." Many perHonu prefer light silks to wash goods, no matter how lino and pretty, but thero Ih much to bo said In favor of tho sweet and clean frcshucHs of a gown that can bo washed every week. I notice among tho useful things in many places white sacks to wear with colored skirts. They aro yoked and indted In, tho yokes and belts being of embroidery and tho frill being hem- DAINTY UVr.ltYDAY (IOW.NH. stitched neatly. Some of them havo a full jabot of Himplolaceaud others jabots of plaid silk or a profusion of ribbons. Bonio, again, aro all white, with only tucks for trimming, made in clusters three very narrow and ono wide. They will probably bo much liked for ordinary wear and will make a cool costume oven when worn with a woolen skirt. Another convenient and very pretty stylo for the coming season, and indeed for tho present, is a full waist of plaid surah, opening on ono side, where thero Is a knife plaited rufllo, with 12 small buttons by way of ornament. It joins the skirt under a wide belt of surah. Tho skirt may have a plain, ilat band or n rufllo of plaid surah, or it need not havo any trimming. Tho sleeves may bo of surah or of other material, as tho taste of tho wearer may dictate. These separate waists are most convenient, and they aro very dressy and youthful, nnd, above all, they aro comfortable. Another pretty fancy is to havo a jacket of black silk, faillo or tnfTota if preferred, or Indeed any silk. Tho jack et has n reverse collar, not very pro nounced, and a Bhort postilion in the back. A full vest, collar and belt aro made of somo light and becoming shade of silk fulled over tho chest by plaits at the top and gathered at tho bottom. Tho sleeves can bo mado of tho samo silk, or of material like the skirt, er of somo other color. Tho jackot is out lined with a narrow bead trimming nnd should be of colors that would harmon ize with any skirt. Black and pale blue, pink or tan would bo tho best. Tho vest could be made separate, and in that manner give greater variety to cos tumes, which Is a desirable considern tlon not only because of Its economy, but for the pleasant relief from monotony it attords. Wash fabrics aro so beautiful, so fino and of Biich lovely colors that it is a ques tion which aro to lo favorites for sum mer wear, the light silks nnd such fab rics or tho different cottons. 1 saw re cently a gray chambray tint was cer tainly as beautiful as any silk could bo, having a rare luster which mado it changeable in tho shades of gray. This was trimmed with cream colored point do gene laid on liar, with what would bo the bottom of tho lace turned to tho top and stitched down so that it looked like a raised pattern on the goods. Thoy ok o was of laco over tho chambray. The sleeves had the lower part of laco nnd tho upper of the chambray. Tho skirt was round and full and gathered to a belt. There was a ribbon sash of cream satin tied in front in loops, the ends reaching nearly to tho bottom. SlMUNO WASH DltKSSES. Another very dainty gown was of plaid gingham, tho colors being gray, green, brown and black, on a very pale grny-bluo ground. The skirt was quite plain, with tho fullness thrown to the back. Tho waist was a plain spencer, with a tiny figaro and sleeves of tho same plaid, tho only combination being a girdle of black velvet, which was re movable. Tho ginghams aro so soft and silky that one would think them at least half silk. They aro mado of sea island cot tou treated in a now way. Tho color ings nro the most I'xqulslto ovor shown in such goods. Thero nro somo plain ginghams where tho only pattern visible is tliat mado by ono fino thread crossing another. Olive Haui'EB. GUARDIANSHIP CF CHILDREN. Ill l.i-ici'l i"il Mural ,MTt The l.nwi ol Vnrloua Htuti'H. CoijrliiliU 1MU, liy Aincrleuii I'rvsa Associa tion. There are several kinds of guardians of minors recognized by tho law. Firstly, thero aro tho parents, who aro tho nat ural guardians of thu children; then other near relatives who may take charge of a child when Its parents dlu, and who may comu to bo recognized ns tho legal guardians; then there aro guardians whom tho father or mother may nppoiut by will to havo charge of tho person or property, or both, of a child, or if Hitch appointment has not been made it will bo mado by tho surrogate where a cer tain amount of property is concerned, and thero aro temporary guardians ap (minted by order of a court or judge In n legal proceeding to represent somo one who Is too young to appear in (erson and to look after his interests. A guardian who has tho porsonal cars of a child Ih called tho guardian of the person, and one who has charge of the property Is the guardian of the estate. Tho court may separate tho two guardian ships and appoint dilVerent guardians. The duty of tho guardian is to manage tho affairs and property of his ward to tho best of IiIh ability, and when tho term of the guardianship expires by tho infant attaining his majori:y or otherwise to give an account of his ad ministration and of all property ho has had In his hands. "Minots" or "Infants" aro all persom under tho ago of 21 (except that in n tow of tho states women aro of ago at 18), but thero is a distinction made at II. An Infant over tho ago of 1 1 can havo a voice in choosing his guardian and can in Bomo cases sue or bo sued in his own name. When thero aro notices or papers of nny kind to bo served upon tho parties to n legal proceeding, the infants must be served as well as others, and in tho case of Infants under 1 1 two copies of each paper must bo served, ono upon tho par ent or guardian and ono personally uon tho child Itself. Even in tho caso ofn child too young not only to understand or to read, but even to notice tho paper, this double service must bo mado and a copy of tho paper (tut Into Its hands, a rulo which strikes ono iih amusing, but the theory is that tho younger tho child tho moro protection it needs. Thero is certainly Htill a degreo of in justice to women in tho laws relating to tho control of their children and the ap pointment of guardians for them in thu greater (tower given to tho father, al though the children's interests aro as safe, frequently safer, in tho hands of the mother titan of the father. In a fow of tho states in Iowa, for example tho father and mother are joint natural guardians, nnd upon the death of ono tho other becomes solo guardian. Generally, however, tho fa ther may nppoiut by will any ono whom ho chooses to be guardian of tho child, not only of the property which, when the property comes from tho father, does not scorn unreasonable, but of tho person as well. Theso appointments, howovor, may bo set asido by tho surrogate, nnd nn oppor tunity is given to the mother or other friends of the child to petition tho court to nppoiut somo ono else. If proof can bo brought that tho person named is not a suitablo guardian, tho judge will disre gard tho appointment nnd make another. When nn Infant is mado a (tarty to any litigation or has nn Interest in tho set tlement of nn estnto, n special guardian must bo appointed by tho court in which tho caso is being tried, or by tho surro gate, to represent his or her Interest. This person is sometimes called tho "next friend. In actions in tho surrogate's court ho Is called tho "special guardian," nnd in the supremo court and other courts tho "guardian ad litem" (guardinn in respect to tho strife). His authority and duties do not extend beyond tho par ticular matter as to which ho is ap pointed, and when that is settled thoy nro at an end. It is usual, though it may not bo always necessary, to appoint a lawyer. If the parents nro interested in any way in tho same matter, neither of them can bo this guardian nd litem, nor can any ono else who is a party, nor any ono who is acting as attorney for any of them. It must be somo ono who has no interest of any kind opposed to that of tho Infant whom he represents. In this matter of tho appointment of guardians by law thero is apt to bo somo misunderstanding. A mother is very likely to feel aggrieved that any ono but herself or somo ono of her choosing should bo tho child's guardian and to regard it as a caprice and a piece of injustice on the (tart of tho law, because no one could havo the child's interests moro at heart than his mother. This is trtto in an overwhelming ma jority of cases, bnt what tho law has in view hero is justico to the child. Thero nro such things as parents who would chooso their own advantago before their children's whero interests clashed, nnd the law or tho judges cannot make tho intimate personal acquaintance of each parent. Keeping in mind tho possible contingency, tho best that can bo done is to appoint some ono who will havo no temptation to do anything but his best for tho infant. Thero may bo cases in which tho par ent has no interest opposed to that of tho child, and in which ho can act as tho guardian ad litem, ns in a recent action whore a boy had been injured on n rail road and the father appeared and sued tho company. Tho theory of tho law in regard to minors is that the child is an individual, with rights of his own in which ho is to bo protected, evon against his parents if necessary, and that it is the duty of tho community of which ho forms (tart to so protect hint. It is pointed out by Herbert Spencer. in somo recently published essays on "Justice," that this view marks an im inenso advance In civilization from the state of Bociety in which parents had such absolute control id tin ,i i ....en that thoy could sell them or even kil them without accounting to auvbody M.
