Jet Girdles This Crepe Gown of Red and Black. Many of the new frocks exploit the two-color mode. Red and black are both good colors for the new season and they are especially smart when combined in a one-piece frock. Crepe is the medium in thé model above. The blouse of wed crepe shows a deep band of tucks on either side. This is repeated in the narrow cuffs which hold the wide sleeves at the wrists. Jet in big squares forms the girdle. Almost every frock possesses a fancy girdle of some description, whether it be of jet or twisted fabric, Evil habits muet be conquered or neither wisdom nor happiness can be obtained.

THAT: "TEA PARTY." A Piece of History Often Mis represented. It has often been pointed out b) critics on the side of Britain anc Canada that the history manuals usec in the schools of the United State: are unfair in apirit and untrust worthy as repositories of facts. Such criticiyms find endorsation of an in- teresting sort in a letter written to the New York Times by Robert W. Leonyrd, a resident of a New York suburb. In dealing with the "causes of the Revolution," he states that in 1766 the British colonies were enthusias- tically loyal; that the "Stamp Act' of that year did not affect the masses and that it was repealed the next year; the trouble caused by the tea duty was due to the fact that the East India Company had consigned it to a few monopolists instead of throwing it open to competition. He might have added Ir this connection that the starting of the revolution was due very largely to the efforts of "Sam Adams, a restless demagogue in Boston," and to Patrick Henry, whose exaggerated aspirations were expressed by his "Give me liberty or give me death." Mr. Leonard says the Civil War was not caused by slavery, but by a tax on cotton fabrics imposed by Congress by way of protection to the New England cotton manufacturers at the expense of the cotton-growers of the Southern States. He adds that President Lincoln was opposed to slavery as an institution, but was not in favor of its summary aboll- tion, The North, as well as the South, had negro slaves, but found out ear- lier--probably for climatic reasons-- that slavery was unprofitable, as the South was discovering when the Civil War was suddenly precipitated by the Southern attack on Fort Sumter. Again, Mr. Leonard tells his coun- trymen that, "but:for British for- bearance and friendship, the Amerl- can Union would have fallen in its first fifty years"; that New England was sick of the Union and would have annexed itself to Canada; that Great Britain rejected Loflis Napo- leon's invitation to recognize in 1861 the independence of the South; and that Capt. Chichester of the British navy, in Manila harbor in 1898, pre- vented the German admiral's propos- ed attack on Admiral Dewey's fleet. Thought Balfour Illiterate. The Earl of Balfour, at a dinner in Washington, praised the American colored people. "I often judge Americans by this criterion," he said: "If they. like col- ored people, then I know they are likable themselves--and vice versa. "Once I visited Washington a good many years ago. All the hotel wait- ers were colored then, and I confess I preferred the quaint colored ser- vice to the present sophisticated and elaborate. service of the whites. "The day of my arrival, when my walter, an old colored man with snowy wool, brought me the menu, I put a coin in his hand and said, 'Just bring me a good dinner, uncle." "He brought me sn exquisite din- ner, and during my fortnight's stay we followed out this program daily. By pushing aside the menu and handing him the coln, he selected a much better dinner for me than 1 could have chosen myself. "The day of my departure, as I took leave of him, he said, * 'Good-by, sir, and good luck, and when you or any of your friends what can't read the bill of fare comes to Washington, just ask for old Calhoun Everybody's. Bia 2 To-morrow's HOROSCOPE By Genevieve Kemble WEDNESDAY, OCT. 28. Conflicting forces prevail on this day, according to the astrological figure. While there is prospect pf important change which should re- bound in ultimate benefit, with prob- sable travel or adventure, yet the condition of the health may prove to be a delaying factor, and may be a matter of grave concern unless pro- perly attended to. The outlook is encouraging for those in 'the employ- ment of others, and the forecast for domestic, social and affeotional in- terests is excellent. It might be well however, to guard against deception. Those 'whose birthday it Ts may find & successful and happy year awaits them if they will but safe- guard their health and guard against deception or fraud. A child born on this day will be original, [Rventive and popular, and should succeed In business and employment despite many difficulties t0 be overcome.
