IEN a woman jumps at a conclusion her intuition is almost always correct. When she undertakes to con- struct syllogisms and to handle logic her failure proves that she is still feminine. The Chicago-Dressmakers' ‘Armstrong Whitney, who went from New York to enlighten the Chicagoese, tried to explain to the) dressmakers the great economic function they per-| form. 5 She ‘said that women made men rich by buying) so many new dresses, and that if fashions did not, ® frequently change and if women waited to wear ,out | “before -buying-new-ones, there-would-be-a-financial crisis far serious that any Wall street panic. If the women of the United tes would unite in making over their last summer's dresses the cotton ‘would have to shut down, thousands of mill bands woutd be thrown ‘of employment, the proprietors of retail stores would fail through ir inability to sell their-stock.and the Southern cotton fields would be Faun at charif’s sale. 3 Therefore she argued that. instead of womien‘impoverishing men by ing expensive clothes, they in reality make men rich. If women t ped Spending monéy what would become of the boot and shoe trade, ‘the milliners, the cloth factories, the button works? Wool would be jo cheap that it would not pay to shear the sheep, and cotton would be irs. Whitney took too selfish a view in restricting to women’ the sings. of extravagance.

Hin ‘the cage of the young John of Austria, however, they merely awoxe tr him a fire pf ambition that was destined to strange realization. i Charles V. could not bequeath his German crown, as that was-a matter | of election, Hoe already had one heir'to the throne of Spain, his oldest gon, Philip 11. John was the offspring of a-morganatic union; and-as such-had | no clalm to kingly rank, But, by a clause in Charles's will, Phillp was com- | manded to look after the lad, support him comfortably, and {ft possible to” Favold uny fut complications by Inducing him to-become a monk. Dow John, however, had no idea of hidtug his ambitions under a monk's hood, nor, on-the other hand, was he content to be a_mere gilded {dler—at_hfa royal brothers’ court. He begged leave to take up a military career, and, when an expe@ition-sct forth against the Turks at Malta, he went with it But Phillp ordered iil back, and, pleased with his obedi¢nce, made him, in 1568, Admiral of the Spanish Navy. o Hére at lari was an outlet for the warllke enthusiasm and ardor that had so long Uceni bottled up. Don John sailed at once for the Barbary coaats, whore pirates had of lato grown unusually troublesome, Within eight months he had temporarily cleared the sea of thess pests. Then on his return -he was sent on a campaign against the Moriscoss (Spanish de- scendants of the Moors), and won a signal, if cruel, victory over them, ariv- ing them from Spain with great slaughter. But it was his next expfoit which gave Don John his world fame. i 9 i { For centuries the Turks had grown yearly stronger and more aggressive. _. They had at length begun to invade Europe fn such (reece) numbers .and with such deadly aggressiveness as to Furope’s Destinies} ‘threaten Christianity and the freedom of the whole inthe Hands of {~ continent. Sometimes a European army or navy or @ 4. _ a Yeuth. powerful ‘alliance had. been able tg check this ad- rr svance, but always the Turks returned to the attack. They were practically the masters of the Eastern seas and had won secure footholds in many parts of Europe. Where they conquered they also burned, - tortured and murdered. Urged by greed and fanaticism, they hoped to, overrun tne entire Christian world. 3 In fear, three European powers, merged thelr personal differences and formed a league against Turkey. These powers were Spain, Venico and Rome. They raised a flotilla of 208 great war galleys, six galleases and several smaller ships, enlisted 20,000 men_and placed the whole fiset under the command of Don’ John of Austria. Don John managed to make the Turks think the Christlan force much smaller than {t Was. As a matter of fact, 1t was considerably inferior in numbers to that, of Turkey.”. Then, Oct.;7, 1571, he fell upon the enemy off Lepanto, in the Gulf.of Corinth, ahd one of the most fierce, most epoch-making sea fights of history occurred, It was a contest of East-againgt West, of the Orient against Europe, of Mo- hammedanism| against Christianity.
