The fancy for the postilion hat has been short lived so far as Paris is con cerned, and London never greatly .■ares for millinery which the Paris- : lenne accepts as bien amusanie. More 1 or leas curly of brim, and with tall ! stiff crowrn. these hats trimmed with i a feather en fantaisie or a floral j aigrette had a brief furore, and cer- ! ti Inly when new- they were most ap- ) pealing They could not. however, j bear repetition, and since people have j taken to wearing them they have lost their attraction For once the French- | woman seems to have forgotten that the fact of a hat being chic when worn by a woman of one type may make , it impossible for those who belong to another This style of hat is. however, being made for autumn, and milliners are : looking favorably upon its possibilities 1 In beaver felt and plush. BLOUSE This Is for veiling or delaine, and has the fronts trimmed with groups of fine tucks, between which strips of insertion are sewn; the back is trim med to match Tucks are made dowr the outside of sleeve, and the cufTs and collar are of entirely tucked ma- I terial Materials required: 2 yards 4( inches wide. 2 yards insertion. Fascinating Lingerie. For evening wear throughout tht winter underskirts will remain as they are this summer, and some ot j the charming bargains so dear to th« heart of womankind may be picket up at present, as. for instance, a pet ticoat of the finest satin messaline it the palest blue, with a knee-deej frill of kilted transparent lawn ovei a pleated frill of silk, slashed at in tervals and held together by narrow bands of pale blue ribbon. To Keep on Pumps. When pumps slip at the heels and are too loose, paste a piece of velvet In the hack, with the nap side out. If the shoes still spread take them to a shoemaker and have him put in a casing for a d-aw string, or a piece of elastic which is tightly fastened Overshoes that slip z.t the heel and are too big may be made more com fortable by glueing a thick piece of chamois up the back of the heel. Use a glue that stands water. Table Decoration. An Inexpensive table decoration noted by Harpers Bazar is as follows: A crepe paper rose is hung from the j chandelier, ribbons coming to each plate. The centerpiece Is a large vase ; of roses with roses around the base. The bonbon dishes are tall glasses, and the favors are roses painted on j cardboard Baskets of ro»<s are on j either side of the table. HEN Yoshihito became the reigning sovereign of Japan he found him WrWf self in a position com f ¥ parable to that of no emperor on earth. Oth er emperors, western IrHe and eastern, are but human. Yoshihito in the eyes of his subjects is liWV'lJff divine. lyA/VYl The succession of otb y er. emperors is clouded ** and disconnected; that of Yoshihito is complete and self-suf heient. One hundred and twenty third sovereign of his line, he traces his royal descent back to the mists of the world, back six hundred years and more, before the time of Christ, back, in fact, to the great heroic age of Japan, when two gods were called upon to create a land from the liquid islands of the air—and they created Japan. From these gods he claims de scent. and not even the most highly educated and scientifically minded Japanese will dispute it. That is the chord of belief which no modern so phistication can pierce. The dead Mutsuhito has taken his -harborage with his fellow gods, and Y’oshibito, reigning, is of his blood. This, in part, explains the attitude of veneration in which the Japanese regard their ruler, explains the senti ment which marks him forth from brother sovereigns. It is a sentiment which few Japanese will discuss. “It is a sentiment.” said one to t'.e writer, “which it is impossible for a Japanese to analyze, and which if an alyzed no foreign mind could compre hend. "It springs partly from the intense idealism of the people and is really a peculiar form of patriotism. It is as if the Japanese nation were rev erencing itself, for it believes that it. too. sprang from the gods and that it is of the family of the emperor. To a nation which reverences its ances tors. the emperor represents a link between the present Japan and every thing that has gone before—a link perhaps, between the material and the spirit world. He is at once an element of mysticism and the embodi ment of material national strength. It is as if,”—the Japanese gentleman paused—“you could merge the senti ment of a Roman Catholic for the pope and the affection of a people for a great king." “Will the present emperor preserve for himself the full sentiment which the people had for his father?” was asked. The Japanese shrugged. “In a measure, perhaps. Wholly, perhaps not,” he answered. “That he will command a peculiar reverence is certain from the reasons I have given, which are inherent In the nation. That the affection of the people will be as great as that given to the late emperor is doubtful. You see. the last sovereign inspired and con trolled Japan from its growth from a feudal land to a world wide nation. From the time the great princes or daiinios surrendered their powers and estates to the granting of a modern and voluntary constitution in 1889. his was the initiative of each successive ad vance. He had done more even than the nation expected—certainly more than ever had been accomplished for a nation before. That record was per sonal to him and is responsible for the personal love with which he is regard ed. We honor and reverence the new sovereign—yes. He is emperor, he is the embodied spirit of Japan. But. love? Even an emperor must earn love for himself." So enters Yoshihito. the new- em peror of Japan, upon his kingdom— the recipient, in western eyes, of strange marks of Japanese respect. For if the race follows the precedents given to Mutsuhito. Yoshihito's name will not be pronounced by any of his subjects. "The sovereign,” “the emperor." he will be; never Yoshihito. To call the name of Yc shihito will be sacrilege. It would be as if a shrine had been assailed. And that is only a small indication of the respect which the Japanese will give him as a sovereign. No man or woman will sit before him. None, if convention be maintained, will speak directly to him. for it is the custom to address the emperor of Japan only through members of his household In his presence even the greatest will look upon the ground, unless the em peror be placed at some elevation, when it is permissible that the eyes be raised, and even this is a conces sion to the new world of things in Japan. For Mutsuhito, the dead emperor. ! passed the first sixteen years of life, unseen by any foreigner, unseen by any but his personal attendants, who were of his family. In conference even with the greatest of those who served him. his face was never shown, for he sat hidden within a canopy, on the low throne-platform from which his orders came. Till sixteen years of age he had never walked—tind the art of walking was with him a stiff and harsh practice to the end. New. too, is the wild acclaim of innumera ble "banzais” whenever the emper or's presence is observed by the peo ple—for it came into Japan within the last fifteen years and in the skirts of progress. Before that time a dead I silence had spoken national respect— | a dead silence and eyes low ered and the shuttered windows of houses along the street. Yoshihito will undoubtedly be viewed by his subjects as closer to the human species than any of the emperors that preceded him. For even his father began his reign as the | practical prisoner of his ow n deifl cation. Prior to 1S6S he—as were his predecessors for hundreds of years— j was the splendidly isolated but prac tical prisoner of the shogun, in whose hands the real administrative power lay. The generalissimo of the forces, the shogun, also controlled the ad ministrative functions of government, while the emperor himself was mere ly a splendid figure—too sacred by far to indulge in the ignoble occupa tion of "doing things.” And the personality of this new rul er. who commands medieval respect from a nation so ultra-modern as the Japanese? A slight, small-chested figure, of in expansive shoulder and somewhat frail build—a figure with a head ab normally large, coal black eyes, the coarse black hair, the somewhat sombre expression, and the undershot i j sensitive to nervous diseases. He is spoken of as serious and bright and with some pretense to social instinct* unpossessed by his parent. Third among the sons, and one among the twelve children of the late emperor, Yoshihito had no greater reason to expect a succession to sov I ereignty than had any of his broth ers, had they lived, for it is the custom of the emperor to nominate his suc cessor from tlie most likely material —only being limited by the fact that he must be of royal blood. The death of his two elder brothers, however, opened up vast royal perspectives to Yoshihito. and in 1887 he was nom inated heir apparent. being pro claimed crown prince in 1SS9. Yoshihito's life in its earliest years reflected the changed condition of Japan. He was brought up democrat ically. and attended school in the Col lege of Peers, which is intended for the education of princes and nobles, but which is open to all. Here he worked with the rest, possessing uo privileges unpossessed by the most obscure, and with a punctuality in sisted upon from even him. the de scendant of the gods, la this way came the comparative development of his social instincts, for. unlike Mut suhito. he prefers to talk directly with his company than through the august intermediary of court officials. Later, however, he came under the care of a tutor. General Oku. who was assisted by a Mr. Adachi, who seems to have been linguistically inclined, for the present emperor speaks Eng lish and French, as well as German. From General Oku he studied mili tary tactics and early proved that in Japan royalty is something of a talis man. At thirteen he was a lieuten ant, at sixteen colonel of the Japanese army. In these early years, from our western viewpoint, he lived a life of — - — EMPEROR YOSHIHITO. * Ah jaw of the great emperor, his father. In his august position today he seems somewhat of an anomaly to the west ern eyes, for he is not the son of the empress of Japan, but of one of Mutsohito’s lesser wives, the Countess Yanagaware, and chosen by the last emperor as that sovereign’s successor under the law of Japan. He is thir ty-one years old, and with the excep tion of a slight illness, hardier than he has ever been. For Yoshihito has been a frail fig ure since infancy—a sufferer from a constitutional complaint which car ried off his elder brother, and which the unusual size of his head sufficiently suggests. He is a sufferer from wa ter on the brain, which, however, im pairs his mental faculties not the least, but only renders him unusually remarkable Independence of parental control. He occupied, almost from in fancy, a palace of his own, not, how ever, distant from the emperor's. With all this atmosphere of the feudal, however, Yoshihito is thor oughly in accord with the modern spirit of his country. In many re spects he is tinged with European habits to a degree not even ap proached by his father. in 1906. when his three-storied pal ace was built at a cost of >300.900. it was European rather than Japanese in character. Even in his unofficial moments, too, he uses European dress. Such is a slight portrait of Yoshi hito, new emperor of Japan, who, pre sumably, will desert his own palace and inherit that in which the late em peror lived. DON’T MARRY A GENIUS. History Shows Men of Extraordinary Talent Neglected Their Wives. It is fine to be a genius. But it Isn't always quite as pleasant to be his wife. Here are a few cases that seem to prove it: Shakespeare s mar ried life is supposed to have been mis erable. We know that Milton's was. Bernard Pallissey's wife starved while her husband burned up her furniture to further his pottery inventions. Neither of Napoleon's two wives was happy or well treated. Julius Caesar was a notoriously bad husband. Henry of Navarre was a worse one. Byron's wife was made wretchedly unhappy by her husband. So was Shelley's. Laurence Stern’s wife was neglected, as was Boswell's. Nelson's wife was forced to leave him. These are but a handful of Instances out of hun dreds.

Striking Results. I was struck with her expression.” ''Yes; It made a great hit with me." Biggest Bakery on Earth. The largest bakery in the world is located in Essen, Prussia, the home of the great Krupp gun factory. It is a vast building in which 70 work men. divided Into two shifts, work [ night and day. Everything is done uy machinery. A screw turns unceas ingly a kneeding trough, into which are poured some water and ten sacks of flour of 2,000 pounds each. This machine makes about 40,000 pounds of bread each day in the shape of 25.000 small loaves and 25,000 large loaves, • _ produced by 230 sacks of flour of 200 pounds each. AU operations of bread making are performed in this colossal bakery. The wheat arrives there, is cleaned, ground and brought automatically to the kneading trough by a series of raising and'descending pipes. There are 36 double ovens, and the work men who watch over the baking of the bread earn from eight to ten cents an hour, making an average of 90 cents a day for 11 hours on duty. They have coffee and bread free, also the use of a bathroom, for they are re quired to keep themselves spotlessly clean and must wash their hands eight times a day. Picked Up.

MEANING OF “AT HALF MAST” At First Universal Symbol Was Token of Submission and Respect for Enemy. Perhaps you have notice that when ever a prominent person dies, espe cially if he is connected with the gov ernment. the flags on public build ings are hoisted only part of the way up. remarks the Toronto Mail and Ex press. This is called "half mast.” Did you ever stop to think what con nection there could be between a flag that was not properly hoisted and the death of a great man? Ever since flags were used in war it has been the custom to have the flag of the superior or conquering nation above that of the inferior Itself hope lessly beaten cmf rlmfwymfw pppppp above that of the inferior or vanquish ed. When an army found itself hope i lessly beaten it hauled its flag down far enough for the flag of the victors to be placed above it on the same pole. This was a token not only of submission, but of respect. In those days when a famous sol dier died flags were lowered out of respect to his memory. The custom long ago passed from purely mili tary usage to public life of all kinds, the flag flying at half mast being a sign that the dead man was worthy of universal respect. The space left above it is for the flag of the great conqueror of all—the angel of death. Robert Browning's Will. Diligent search is being made at Florence. Italy, for the win of Robert Browning, son of the famous poet, but so far it has not been found. The fact that there apparently is no will is causing considerable gossip, as the property, of which there is a good deal, both in Asolo and Florence, will pass to his wife, who was Miss Coddlngton of New York, and from whom he lived apart for year, owing to incompatibility of temper. Browning's property in Florence in cluded Casa Guidi, where he spent his childhoood days. When his mother died the property passed out of the family, and was acquired by him a few years ago. Best Books for Children. Eugene Field, asked for the best ten books for young people under six teen years of age. is said to have given this list: "Pilgrim's Progress,” “Robinson Crusoe,” Andersen's Fairy Tales. Grimm's Fairy Tales, “Scottish Chiefs." "Black Beauty," “The Ara bian Nights." “Swiss Family Robin son," “Little Lord Fauntleroy."i “Tom Brown's School Days,” for boys, or for girls. “Little Women.” But a really clever woman is too elever to show it.

Mosquitoes, flies and gnats of every description are said to be more numer ous in Paris this year than ever be fore. It has become a veritable in vasion. The explanation sually giv en is that the swallows are much few er this summer, and also that the ubiquitous sparrow is notably on the decrease. Nobody can find a reason I for the desertion of the swallows, but the reason of the scarcity of spar rows is not far to seek. The enemy is mechanical traction, which is sup ; planting the use of the horse. Before long horses will practically have dis appeared in Paris, and when their nosebags go there will disappear one of the principal staples of food for the Paris •'pierrot,’" who is taking wing for the country in search of the grains of oats and barley once so plentiful on the boulevards and avenues.
