The basque of the Rurrian coat is add ed under a belt of black satin, the rerers are also of satin edged with black and white striped silk; this with a binding of satin trims the sleeves; a frill of soft lace adds a finish. Hat of black satin, trimmed with ostrich feathers. Vladting Dress.—Eau de Nil Vene tian doth is used here, the skirt is slightly blgb-walsted. and Is trimmed pan way down each side by cord sewn on quite straight, with a waving of narrower cord between; a row of buttons is sewn on the inside, little ; openings are left at the foot, to show ■ I pieces of material trimmed with cord The Magyar bodice is trimmed tc match, with the addition of black satin, which forms straps outside cord, and finishes collar and culls. Hat of Tagel to match, trimmed with a feather and bead cabouchon. Smart Dress.—This becoming dress is made up in vieux rose delaine, pat terned in black and white, and in plain vieux rose delaine. The tunic and lower part of bodice are of the fancy delaine, the latter is prettily , trimmed with strappings of black satin, which also edge the over-sleeves and yoke, while lace Is used for the under-sleeves and yoke; the lower part of skirt and upper of bodice are of the plain delaine. Hat of black chip, trimmed with an aigrette and a large rosette of vieux rose tulle. TWO-SIDED JABOTS. The modest little jabot which used (o fill in the V of the coat opening now looks prim and old-fashtoned. In deed. New jabots are stupendous af fairs. which make'the whole coat froot white and fluffy with sheer ma terial and lace frills. This jabot has on one side a rever of tucked lawn and lace. At the straight edge or the rever is a jabot frill of platted lawn and lace, very wide at the top and ta pering to nothing at the bottom. The frill turns back over the left side of the coat front, the rever lying flat across the right side. ADORNMENT FOR THE BABY Much Consideration Has Been Given to Designs for the Small Household Monarch. Sunray shirring is coming In again, and very quaint it looks on the little white bonnets for infants and their sisters of two or three years. The hacks of the bonnets are stiffened and round and the side portions also are shirred. One dainty little bonnet of this style Is bordered with a band of white fur. and a second has a narrower band of mink and tiny dabs of tbeJ mink over the ears. Pink apple blossoms apepar on one model, and a cluster of round, pink, unopened buds on another. A wreath Is also a very pretty decoration, one being Just an applique of alternating leaves and petals, the leaves being of moss-green velvet and the petals of pink silk. White chiffon makes some j of these bonnets and white bengaline others. One combines the two mate rials. the chiffon being shirred in bands and used to trim the more severe outlines of the bengaline. For a very new baby a long dress has a three-inch ruffle at the foot, applied with cording. A bow of pale I blue ribbon, with streamers that | reach almost to the hem of the long skirt, is caught at the left side near the shoulder. For a little tot in short dresses there is a dainty coat of accordion plaited white chiffon, with a forward turning hem, and a little cape made ! of white bengaline. embroidered. Children’s Garments. The best-selling styles in children's garmeuts are those that are copied from women's wear, says the Dry- i goods Economist. It is surprising how becoming these little coats are. For example, the shawl collar and side fastening, so popular with the grown ups, are also meeting with great suc cess in children’s coats. The 6ame is true of the hood effects, pointed col lars, new shape sailors and incroya ble revere. Even the cut-up seams are being employed by the designers wi£h considerable success. Little Silk Boleros. The dressmakers have experiment ed with boleros for two seasons, anc they seem to have landed them intr fashion at last. They are worn In bright colors with white muslin gowns or old-fashioned frocks of floral or gandie. They are finished around tin edge with a plaited ruching of ribbon or a ruffle of lace. The severe one: have only a thick cable cord covered with silk or satin. To Clean Silver Mesh Bag. Any woman who owns a German or sterling silver mesh bag or purse, and who has learned how one soils light dresses and gloves, will be glad to know that she can clean it in a few minutes herself at home. Just take plenty of soda (commn baking soda), this is what the Jtjrelers use, and a little water and brush, rinse well and dry and think of the econ omy—It looks as good as new. To Cook Peas. This is an excellent way to cook peas when they are a little old: One quart of peas, four ounces of pork, one tablespoon of butter, one-half cup of water, two small white onidns, and one-eighth teaspoon of pepper. Cut the pork into small bits. Put butter in stewpan; when it melts, add the pork and cook gently until a light brown, then add the water, peas, onions, and pepper. MARKING THE FALL COSTUME ' Many New Idea* Are to Be Found Among the Latest Effects Designed. Practically all the new coats are made full length and cut on straight ; lines. They are made up In pongee. I soft finished taffeta and rubberized silk Among the novelty coats for tall are > those made of taffeta or silk serge and lined with heavy cloth, the cloth being used for the trimming. Silks, and especially silk velvets. ' are In the highest favor, and three 1 silk frocks are seen now where before ; two were shirtwaists and suit skirts. The large collar refers and deep 1 turn-back cuffs are much in Evidence In new Jackets. Quite a number have skirts trimmed to correspond with the Jackets. The grandfather rrlll is still In fa vor. Formed of a triple frill of point d'etprit net falling in a cascade down one side of the corsage. It makes a pretty finish for almost any gown. '-Vhen sleeves are of the peasant type, large folded back cuffs are usu ally employed as trimmings, wtth per haps a narrow undersleeve of some sheer white material, net or all-over embroidery.* - Black or dark blue taffeta tailor mades' trimmed with fringe, are one of the Inventions of the year. Taffeta is coming into more and more favor and a strenuous vogue for it Is un doubtedly ahead. Hatpins for Fur. A useful little idea for furnishing winter hats is to make fur hatpins. A little furry knot looks sweet and a scrap of odd fur, taken from some that is “done for,” can often be found. This is cut in a circle and gathered round, being drawn up over the head of an ordinary hatpin. A little cock ade of tails might be added, but when this is done they must be sewn on in such a position that they stand up at the side of the hat and do not stick out in ungainly fashion when the pin is thrust through the crown. For feath er hats the same option can be carried out. covering the pin with a scrap of feather trimming or marabou. CUPID HAS SINECURE IN JAPAN H1CAGO.—There never, nev er—no, never—was a hap pier little couple than K. Yamasaki, the Japanese consul to Chicago, and his petite bride, who have Journeyed clear across the Pacific ocean to make their home in Indiana avenue. Chicago, 111., U. S. A. The ensuing chapter of the little romance that skipped across half the world, and the story of how this well-born little Jap anese girl gladly traveled it to remain beside her liege lord, reads like one of the tales of Onoto Watana. Bound by all the ties of family and home, love of parents and friends to the land of her birth and her dearest associations, and not even knowing well the English (or American) tongue, she has done much to back up the declaration they both made re cently, that they were really “soul mates." Match Arranged by Families. “Soul-mates!" That's what they say they are, to Americanize the Jap anese phrase. Their tailor-made ro mance suits them fine. They always expected to wed some fine day, even as children. That's the way they do it tn Nippon. Misoa had nothing to say about the match, and neither did Mr. Yamasaki. Their families ar ranged the whole affair, and the fami lies surely ought to know. Negotia tions began long before either ever had felt the thrills of love. Now, if the average American girl was given in marriage after this fash ion, what a loud cry would go up! In her headstrong independence she would stalk out of the house and run off with the man she really wanted, and this man would, nine times out of ten. not be the man her parents se lected, which may argue for the Amer ican girl's fine independence but not for her sentiment. Not so the Yamasaki family. Misoa smiled and blushed and ac cepted the man of her parents' choice This was learned upon a visit to the Japanese consul in Chicago and his bride. Mr. Yamasaki is a man of middle height, with a strong, dignified face of a decidedly oriental type. His eyes are shrewd, kindly, clever, and have a friendly twinkle in the corner of them. His English is excellent. When asked for a little talk with Mrs. Yama saki about the girls In Japan, he ex plained that Mrs. Yamasaki didn't know English, but he offered to act as interpreter. Charming Type of Womanhood. So he went upstairs to get Mrs. Yamasaki. It was almost half an hour before he returned. And Mrs. Yama- ! saki was with him. She is charming j She is small, fragile, slender, as dainty ! and as exquisite as a bit of Sevres 1 china. Her skin Is a soft, warm olive with an under color of faint pink at the cheeks. Her hair was dressed in a smooth, round pompadour, fastened with tortoise shell pins Her eyes are i dark almond, with a wistful look in \ them, a look of longing and infinite un derstanding. Her hands are the most wonderful of all. slender, brown, with tapering fingers. She wore a kimono of a dull blue shade, decorated in white flowers and with a wide white and blue sash, and on her feet were tiny white “Zoree” slippers with a separate compartment for the great toe. Mrs. Yamasaki shook hands, made a quaint little bow. and smiled There is nothing foreign about the smile. It is a friendly, up to date smile that welcomes you and accepts you as a friend. She seated herself in a big armchair of dull green. “In Japan the girls are not given the same education as the boys, are they?" was asked. Mr. Yamasaki spoke to Mrs. Yamasaki, she spoke of him. Her voice ts husky. low. and very sweet. It has an Ethel Barry more thrill to it, but it has a quick little sound that even Ethel could not Imitate. Mr. Yamasaki smiled at his wife’s answer and translated: “Today the education of the Japa nese girl Is far superior to that of the past centuries. Formerly the girl was given very little if any education. But today the Japanese girl Is educated much In accordance with the western methods There are echools and col leges in all of the large cities But the girls are educated differently from the boys. The boys are educated to take their place in the world, to make a living, to look out for themselves The girls are educated to make homes —to be a comfort to their husbands.” Happy Home Life Their Ambition. “And the girls, are they ambitious?” “No! Japanese girls prefer a home life, if they are happy with their pa rents or their husbands they ai;e con tenb" And Mr. Yamasaki looked at Mrs Yamasaki, and they both smiled *' JC YX/*MSAJ\I I——l-f ' d TXRSoa 09vmZnxr&u j Wouldn't American women be a trifle happier if they forgot "careers" and devoted themselves to making homes? "And marriage and divorce?" Sometimes in Japan the men court the girls in approved western fashion, but usually the entire affair is ar ranged by the parents of the young people. And although divorce is much easier to obtain, for it can be obtain ed on many grounds, it is not abused. Divorce is getting less frequent each year, and a wife is not "put away" among the better classes unless there is some reason for It. The Japanese women are not considered the equal of men in many respects, and their mission is the mission of happiness Then they were asked about clothes —women’s clothes—in Japan. "Japanese dress is very comforta ble." translated Mr. Yamasaik. "It is graceful and beautiful as well. In Japan the patterns on the dresses have great significance On Joyful oc casions. as celebrations and weddings, kimonos are worn with the patterns of the pine, the plum, and the bam boo. for these signify happiness—the pine Is ever green, the bamboo ever straight, and the plum is the first blos som. The turtle and the crane also signify happiness when worn as dress ornaments, because, according to or iental legend, they signify long life. For funerals plain black or white is worn, but on other occasions the young women may choose any color to suit their Individual tastes.” "What is your first name, Mrs Ya masaki? Has it a meaning, as have most Japanese names?” “My name is Misoa. and it means "faith eternal.” French Her First Language. Mrs. Yamasaki is studying English. She was bom in Paris and lived there until she was three years of age. re turning to her parents' native home in Tokio with no knowledge of Japanese. Sh. still speaks French, and hopes to conquer English soon. And then Mrs. Yamasaki, sitting straight in the<qt>ig American chafT, smiled She looked tfeither at me nor at the window for a glimpse of the out of doors, but at her dignified hus band. and essayed her first English sentence during the interview. "1 like Chicago very much.” she said. Getting an absolute divorce by mere agreement of the two families con cerned seems a strange custom to us here -in America. But this is being done in Japan every day, and the re sults. as far as domestic happiness is concerned, seem to be about as satis factory as those achieved with the methods of our advanced western civ ilization. The Japanese system "translated.” is something like this: Mrs Flat dweller calls her daughter. Lulu Ellen, to her and says: "Lulu Ellen, put on your nicest frock, for the man you are going to marry is coming to call on you. The wedding will be tomorrow.” And Lulu Ellen, all excited, dresses up and gets introduced to Freddie Blonde boy. Then they proceed to get mar ried. and the ceremony is Just as im pressive. and the hunt for a properly located four-room apartment is just as exciting, and the trousseau Is just as expensive as if there bad been a year's courtship entailing many frocks, much expenditure on both sides, and many wrong guesses. As It Is Done in Japan. And divorce! Mr. and Mrs South side may be quarreling continually He thinks she spends too much money on clothes and too much lime on bridge, and she tbinks'he is a stupid, coarse old thing, anyhow. But or course they don’t want to go to court about iL So they quarrel and quarrel and quarrel every tiav. and keep on quarreling and lose out on the bits of happiness they might have cornered if it hadn't been for the quarreling. But a la Japan: Mr Soutliside at the breakfast table, after he has fin ished his fruit and the sporting col umn. looks over at Mrs Southslde and says: "Louise, dear, what do you say to a nice, quiet little divorce? i You talk It over with your folks, and I'll talk it over with father in the of fice today, and we’ll get divorced Tuesday, if it's all right with you." And it is all right with her, and the next Thursday she marries that nice looking Henderson man who has a 1912 model automobile, and he mar ries the little blonde stenographer who has been telling him how well he understood life. In Japan women's clothes never, never go out of style. A dress you got last year is perfectly good today . and you don't even have to take the fullness out of the sleeves. When a girl has reached the prop er age for marriage in Japan she never is consulted as to the man she would prefer. A "nakado." or match maker. is procured by the girl’s fath er. and he finds a suitable man for the girl to marry. Sometimes it is the boy's father who hires the go-between, but in neither case are the young people asked about the matter. There is no real courtship. A girl cannot accept a man's invitation to the theater, to supper, or even to a giovlng picture show. Automobile j rides are barred. If a man does call on a girl, her father and mother are • both in the room, and as the Japanese 1 girl has been taught to confine her conversation to "yes" and "no" no great headway in courtship can be made. Can you imagine Sally South side receiving Johnny Silksocks in the parlor with all of the relatives pres ent? Call Made on the Family. After the go-between bas picked ; out a suitable girl for the young man. | the latter, accompanied by his father. 1 makes a formal call on the family of ] the young woman. The Japanese girl ' will not be present during most of this call, although she will enter the room and present a cup of tea to tne youcg^ man She will stay tn the room*perhaps one or two minutes, and during that time he must make j up his mind whether he likes her well j enough to marry her. and the Jap- j anese girl must make up her mind, j too. although what she thinks about it [ isn't very important. Rut making up j his mind isn’t very difficult for the Japanese young man. because Jap anese girls look so much alike. There are no fluffy blondes, nor tall, auburn haired beauties. Almost all Japanese girls are small and slender, have small hands and feet, olive skins, and black hair and eyes, and their fea tures are generally similar. The go-between then carries ail messages, and the young people. If the match is arranged, see each other only a few times before the ceremony Husband King of the Home. Tbe br^de after the wedding cere mony goes with her husband to his home, which also is the home of his parents. If there is a divorce after long years of marriage, no matter what tbe cause Is. the children go to the bus band. If the husband should die, It Is considered virtuous for the wife to remain & widow always. There are no gay widows in Japan. There are three rules of obedience that must be followed tv every Japanese girl. When she is young she must obey her father, when she is married she must obey her husband, and when she is old she must obey her oldest son. Here in America, where a girl may have her heart's desire for just a few words of flattery, it is hard to realize that there Is a country where the men are still supreme in everything. Moral Influence. “Why did you keep creating new supplies of stock in your big corpora tion?" asked the modest trader. “I j wanted to pass it around.” replied Mr j Dustin Stax. ”1 want as much of the public in on tbe enterprise as possi b!e Every stockholder who gets an occasional dividend is absolutely con vinced that ours is one of the good trusts."

While (oiling and sweating In the stokeholds of a big long distance liner. 1 have often wondered whether the passengers dancing on deck or drink ing iced drinks under an electric fan have the remotest idea of the human suffering that is involved in sending them along at 16 knots an hour. They may catch sight of a man In torn clothes, black as a miner from top to toe, bis face In streaks where the per spiration has run in a steady stream from his brow; they may even go so far as to mutter: “One of the stokers —folly hard work in this weather!” But they know nothing ot the grim and ghastly truth. In the stokeha'1 of every ship the leading hand of the watch is a picked man. who is as strong as a young giant, knows his work perfectly, and has fists like legs of mutton. He is know-i as the "bully.” and his official instructions are that be must never actually use his fists on the men while driving them to work. He -ever dqes strike the laggards "officially." be cause. if a fireman or a trimmer com plains that be has been knocked about, it is always deviated that the men bad some private quarrel. Whether the men are fresh at the game or old bands, they all have to do their spells of four hours without a break, even If then heads Teel as though they were bursting and tbelr limbs burnt ar cut It is enough to break the heart of any man the first week, while the ship is in compara tively cool weather, but the climax of suffering la reached when the work has to go on Just the same In places like the Red sea or the Indian ocean To realize ail tt means, one must con sider bow trying it is to remain in a temperature of about 120 degrees Fab renhett without ^ving any work to da U you add to that the Tact that the men are driven to throw coal on Bery furnaces In that temperature you get an idea what it involves ror them.

He asked the doc tor to give him a day or two off. bin was told to go back to work. He started his four-hour "shift” at mid night, but in a quarter of an hour said be could not go on. He was struck and bullied, but demanded to see tbe sbip'a doctor. Tbe doctor, perhaps annoyed at being called at tbat bour gave him a cursory glance and told him to go back to the stokehold. He struggled with the work for a quartet of an bour, and then, when his strength failed, he was bit on the bead with a shovel. He staggered away and. <3 despair, leaped overboard, where be mint have been eaten by sharka in a couple of minutes. TOO MUCH FOR HACK DRIVER High-Sounding Name Made Old Man Think There Was Something Mysterious in the Wind. \fter a long, hot and dusty journey by train the New York commercial traveler arrived In Richmond, brushed enough dust off his face to make sure that the right man was getting off. and hailed one of the little seagoing hacks common in the Old Dominion city. It was driven by an aged negro. "Drive me to a haberdashery.” said the traveling man surveyed his soiled raiment with disfavor. ‘ Yessuh.” said the negro. “Giddup." The oid horse started off at a little stiff-legged jog trot. The driver seemed to be think i ing deeply. By and by he pulled the horse to ^ stop, and leaned backward to his fare. "Souse me, suh." said he, "but wey do you all want to go?” Drive me to a haberdashery," said the traveling man. "Oh. yessuh.” said the negro. "To be sure. "Giddup.” The hack rattled on for a little way. and then the negro stopped, got off the box and poked his head in over the little door. "Mebbe Ah didn't get dat name jus' right,” said he. “Would you all mine repeatin' it. suh?" The traveling man said for the third time that^Jie wanted to go to a haberdash ery. The old driver shook his gray wool and looked grieved. “Ah'm an ole man," said he. “Youah kin trus' me Wheah is it you really want to go?” This One Is on Hugh. “When I came into the Union sta tion the other morning, after traveling all night,” said Hugh Reilly, at the Commercial club, “I went into the barber shop. ‘When you spend the night on a sleeping car,’ I said to the barber, ‘it doesn't improve your per sonal appearance, does it?’ ” ‘Well,’ said he, as he looked me over, “I don’t know how you looked when you started, but perhaps you’re right.’ ”—Washington Herald.
