But the Irish know him. Yet what he said will stir the Clan-na-Gael afresh, Speaking of the reception to the Irish plays in New York, he touches @ff this stick or so of dynamite: “There are not half @ dozen real Irishmen in Amerca outside that com- pany of actors!” he exclaimed. “Y. @on't suppose that all these Murphys @n@ Doolans and Donovans and Far- fells and Caseys and O'Connells who call themselves by romantic names like the Clan-na-Gael and the like are Irish- men! You know the sort of people I mean. They call Ireland the Old Country. “In the plays of Mr, Yeats you will fing many Irish heroes, but nothing Uke “the broth of a boy.’ Now you can {m- ‘agine the effect of all this on the Ameri- @an pseudo Irish, who are siill exploit i tng the old stage Ireland for all Ht 8} vitesting, According to Dr, M.

Arnold Bennett, the novel- fet, has found—bless my soul!--that we Americans really have some good quall- thes, that many well-nourished British Milusions about us have been quite un- _ founded. First he says: “Americans are not the boastful, vul- ger people they are represented as be- ing, elthough they have, indeed, much to boast of." And then this: . “When I recall the search I made some years ago for furnished apart- ments in London and found that in one, which advertised itself as for persons ‘of Gistinction, the newly installed bath was held up as a great favorite with , I was astonished at the re- " markable difference in American houses ‘and hotels, where there is in many eases @ bathroom for each inhabitant.” you ponder over the hubbub it in Spain and fall into wonder- oung a late,’ caused ment over the agitation of her y. nephew, the King. As to honesty an: morality she says: “Honesty among women consists simply in guarding the honor of the family, avoiding scandals calculated to @iminish the authority of the husband, who may be called the possessor, or to Mberate the feminine soul from its an- eestral bondage, * ° ° “In the relation of man and woman tt te necessary to find a solution placing them on common ground, with equal morality, equal responsibility. To ob- tain this result man must abdicate some of his egoisin and woman must learn that her life is not merely a labor of love Dut also a labor of reason, Maybe it was this chapter ch gave the big wigs and royalty at Madrid its Jolt: “No man should be so poor that he 46 forced to sell himself, We must make tt Impossible for any man to say; ‘I am hungry, but cannot get bread; I am cold, but caunot find warmth; I am without @helter, but cannot fina a place to lay my head.’ We must make it so that no woman shall be forced to escape from misery by selling hervelf.” In another chapter, on the working classes, 1 ta BHulalia writes "Bince laboring man is the great fac ter of national power, it 1s just that be should occupy the attention of social thinkers. One truth is manifest, The education of the working man ‘s not in Proportion to the place he occupies in ‘the state.” _ @he advocates houses bullt by the mu- Micipelity for workingmen, designed for thelr comfort and health, arranged ac- ize of the family, each hi or decreases, Then ah this Utopia?’ Nothing could be put unfortunately ny ov ad uf reaso: tmutterings, on finding that Burns had|¥! must keep in mind that the Princess has lived yeara in Paris, tong away from the inquisitorial euppression of the Spanish throne. ~— “American women ere the best dressed," says Redfern, the Parte mill- way he proves tis case f nis eincerity and con- ten: dies are generally well and thought necessary to having dresses made for themselves. “These models are naturally repeated many times for many people with dif- ference {n tones, so that the original effect is lost, and @ model ts often bought by a person it does not euit, or so badly copied that it 1s worse than ruined. + “It 1s @ometimes said that American ladies are overdressed. I have one an- swer to that, which seems to me con- olusive. “The American lady dresses to please her husband, and her husband does not consider her overdressed, for he 1s will- ing and even anxious for her to spend money enough on her clothes to bo what she is—the best-dressed woman in the world.” Of course, Redfern knocks the Amer!- can dressmaker, accuses her of pirating French models; but American women know several things about the American dressmaker’s fertility in fashion design- ing, About the only thing, off han that comes to mind for which French may be credited lately is the hobble.

Germany admita an additional $26,400,000 for the loss of material and other various ex- penwes, bringing the total cost to her of the war to $674,900. France's indirect expenses, including the provistoning of Paris and loss of material, amounted to $625,000.00, making @ total expenditure of $01,800,000, Anil this gum does not, of course, include the indemnity of $1,061,- £06,000,’ which she was obliged to pay to Germany.” On the basis of the present fighting forces of the two countries, !f. they should become tnvoived in war the daily st of the two armies would he about $5,000,000.
