The boy whose trousers were cut in the same fashion fore and aft, so that his schoolmaster could not tell which way he was walking. would have had less to complain, of if he had been a little Jap and the possessor of a nice kimono. Indeed, the prevalence of the kimono fashion is largely due to the simplicity of its cut, which has the additional merit of taking very little stuff, of being remarkably comfortable, and of suiting nearly everybody.

Next, perhaps, to the Greeks, the Chinese and Japanese have been most successful in evolv ing a wholly satisfactory line. In some wavs thev have been more successful, in that Greek drapery, after all, wants draping, whereas the kimono and kindred coats ana wraps practically drape themselves. As at is about this time of year that everybody begins to nntW that one or two summer "dreesee are nvssing and that there are still two possible months which to wear tne proDiem may be most easily solved by taking advan-; tage of the persistence of a convenient and adaptable fashion. Linen is still the most attractive oi summer materials and, with the straight, simple cut based on the kimono, it is no longer so disastrous in the matter or creasing. Prnftioallv all the French dresses of linen or similar materials are cut so geometrically that they lie flat, fold flat, and can be pressea with nraetieallv no trouble at all.

It is true that, as rule, little is seen of the actor as politician except for the purposes of the music-hall, when a hit at the unpopular side of a question is an easy way. of producing applause. AH the same there is no good reason why an actor should not have a political faith or even political ambitions.

Perhaps tradition has something to do with the matter. In the dawn of the English stage the authorities would have no politics but their own in the theatre. Both under the Commonwealth and the Restoration it was a' perilous tiling for an actor to be politician as well he might be set upon in the streets and beaten, he might have his ears cropped, he might see his theatre closed Tradition is strong on the stage, and this may be the origin of. an unwritten rule that the politics of an actor should be the politics of the majority of his audience in the theatre, and carefully kept out of sight elsewhere. Nowadays we are reaching a transition period.

The greatest of Russian singers is said to be quite, a prominent Bolshevik. George Alexander had' ambitions for a seat in Parliament. Recently a Lancashire election was won by the personality of a favourite of the music-halls, and the appearance of actors on platforms at elections is becoming a commonplace. It is quite on the cards that we may have an actor member in the next Parliament, and that ought to encourage the rest. It is an unusual thing for the Speaker to rule a member out of order and then at a subsequent sitting condescend to an explanation of his ruling that admits its incorrectness and implies an apology.

But a hundred and forty years ago a Speaker with Lancashire associations, and unfortunately, an infirm temper submitted an apology to the House for an offence that no Speaker would commit to-day. Sir Fletcher Norton, whose appearance and chief characteristic may be inferred from his nickr name of Sir Bull-face Double-fee," was induced by Fox, in the course of debate, to offer an opinion on the competency of the House to inquire into, and control, expenditure under the Civil List. Sir Fletcher at once proceeded to declare, ex cathedra, the good constitutional doctrine that not only was it the right and duty ot parliament to control such expen AN ACADEMIC CELLAR.

"There is absolutely no scientific proof of a trustworthy kind," says Professor Saints- bury, discharging a howitzer early in thoj affair. that moderate consumption of sound alcoholic liquor does a healthy body any harm at all while on the other hand there is the unbroken testimony of all history that alcoholic liquors have been used by tfie strongest, wisest, handsomest, and in e-erv wav best races of all times and a little later he adds: "It is sometimes forgotten that only one of the two peaks of Parnassus was sacred to Apollo, the other helonffinc to Dionvsus. The present writer has spent much of his life ra doing his hest, as he could not produce things worthy of Phoebus, to celebrate and expound them.

It was replenished and expanded more or less devoutly through periods at Oxford, at Guernsey, at Elgin, and at Edinburgh. While in Manchester'he had neither time nor means to invest in the gifts of Bacchus," and indeed has no good to sav of the place at all except that in the old Palatine Restaurant they used nocK Dottles as water carates.

He is, one detects, as sound and immovable a conservative in the choke of his wines as in all else, inclining in his allegiance to claret, burgundy, or port, ut the last he says, dinering trom Mr. George Meredith, that those who have 40-year-old port in their cellars "had best drink it." But experience in Elzin. and in Edinburgh has made him not less a con-noisenr of whisky, and he has a good word to say even for the discredited gin, whose latter-day obloquv he dismisses with the splen didly illogical contention that there is no more rpal reason tor it than there is for abusing water because the Inquisitors employed the water torture. Indeed, the attitude towards all liquors which Professor Saintsburv Pie- serves in this rich treasury of lore and wis dom concerning them is that of the fabled Scotchman who remarked that while no doubt there was good whisky and better whisky there was, no such thing as bad whisky.

Of these Professor Saintsburv is a formidable protagonist. The sternest ascetic and reformer can scarce resist a feeling that the obiect of so much wise. and gay affection as is here lavished on a collar must have a stronger justification than mere records or emciencv" would grant it.

And if at times the author displavs a- quite nr. academic bitterness against the whole breed of prohibitionists, we should perhaps in fair nss remember that he is a crusader an apparently fast-losing cause, and there fore to be forgiven a certain berserk fury. A. S. W.

TOLSTOY AND GORKY. Remimscexcesof Leo Nicox ayevitch Tolstot By Maxim Gorky. Richmond The Hogarth Press. Pp. 71.

os. net. It seems to me that I have the right say what I think of him, eren if it be bold and differ widely from general opinion." So says Gorky in a letter he wrote about Tolstoy's "flight" before his death. And what does ho think of him, after intercourse with him at Yassnava Polyana, in the Crimea, and on the strength of a loving study of his books He is like a god. Not a Sabaoth or Olympian, but the kind of Russian god who sits on a maple throne under a golden lime not very majestic, but perhaps more cunning than all the other gods." In read ing this very remarkable little book one must remember the force of Gorky's personality as well as Tolstov s.

The latter recognised it, and revealed himself nay, betrayed himself, this unusual kind of admirer, so stubborn so critical, until the hero came off the stage and was just companionable in undress, when enthusiasm was wont to flare up. Gorky did not like the atmosphere the disciples made round the prophet in his home, finding it in sincere, unreal. He rarely spoke to me on his usual sumects of universal torgiveness, loving one's neighbour, the Gospels, and Buddhism, evidently because he realised at once that all that would not go down with me. let tnere are Jigirts, a iew, even on Tolstoy's spiritual strivings in great lone liness: and Gorky has sudden fits of rever ence as true as his scepticism regarding certain aspects, or him. Is he right in his explanation of the going "What always re pelled me in him was that stubborn despotic inclination to turn the life of Count L.

iv. Tolstoy into t-ne -saintly me ot our blessed father, boyard He wanted to suffer not out of natural desire to test resistance of his will, but with the obvious and despotic intention ot increasing the in fluence of his religious ideas." Or was he lather, yielding to the racial craving for the desert? For he was Russian to the core "The old Russian man in him dealt a blow at science and the State." was much in him which roused in Gorky something like hatred his overgrown individuality, his coarseness, the vulgarity of his ideas about women. But he held these ugly things as the parth holds all good and bad, clean and foul. The bngatyr in him, the wild man of Russian legend, gives way before the charmer, before the lonely wanderer who seeks truth unflinchingly, aiid never finds it for himself, before also the consummate actor, who, however, could not be trusted to keep the stage for long at a time. Speaking out of his own needs, Gorky finds his worth in his vast humanity, not in any sainthood Surely he is great and holy because he is a man, a madly and tormentingly beautiful man, a man of the whole of mankind." His vision of the old magician after the going away" ends thus I ant not an orphan on the earth so long as this Wn lives on A- M.

My informant had been em ployed on caisson work near the bridge, he told me, earning 20 a week.

The air pressure inside a caisson is so great that if one comes out into the ordinary atmosphere too quickly air-bubbles form in the blood-vessels of hie extremities and he reels about like a drunken man. My navvy was in this state as he was crossing London Bridge when a policeman stopped him and, despite his protests, locked him up. He insisted on seeing a doctor, and when the police doctor pronounced him drunk insisted on having another examine him. The second doctor, an American, at once diagnosed nis complaint as oenas, as this caisson illness is popularly called. So although the policeman, when the navvy was brought before the magistrate, declared that he had seen the accused go in and out of a couple of public.

houses on his beat all day long," the American doctor's evidence got him off. And now, so impressed with "bends" are the police, if a navvy jeels across London Bridge, even though he may have visited every place of call from Bromley, the constable on duty will carefully shepherd him along to the other side without so much as a gruff word. The latitude allowed by the term teaspoon ful," when used-in recipes, reminds a correspon dent of another measurement which proves pitiaii to Housewives when encountered in cookery books. A gill, in the table-books of our youth, was stated to equal a quarter of a pint Some parts of the country the Midlands, for instance, and, one supposes, London hold this belief; other places, Manchester among them contend that. a gill equals half a pint.

This straightness, while keeping th main lines, can be varied in detail. In some cases a reaching to the waist can be cut out of the front and filled with perhaps white pique.

The kind of stuff depends upon the dress, thus witn some oi iur gvevs white organdi muslin doubled iooks better.

The creat noint about this dress, as was also the'j case with the other, is that it is exactly the same, back and front, with the exception of the shoulder part of the bodice, which is longer in front thanat the back, to allow for extra fullness of figure and also to allow for the stuff taken up by the seam at the waist.

A plain, straight skirt, not more than a yard and a half or less round, is fastened to a straight under bodice of the thinnest possible material. The sleeves of the stuff are put into this bodice. Over' it all is worn a sleeveless tunic with a kick in it round the bottom rather after the fashion of the Chinese short coat. It can be worn' with or without a belt. In this connection Chinese short, coats are being worn a good deal with Chinese trousers tor such purposes as garuemug, oee-eepiug, what not.

For small, slender figures these aro very charming, and a good many of them arc being imported just now. They are also quite easy to copy. No French summer-dress scheme is quite complete without a cherry-coloured effect somewhere. Very youthful, straight, belted dresses are being made by a welhknown French house with merely a white, ruffle round the neck, the material being white, with cherry-coloured spots. The same effect is being made in blue, but this 'is not quite so successful.

These dresses look and are so extraordinarily simple that it often seems needless to go to Paris for them. The truth is that nobody dares put forward anything bo. beautifully simple until it is stamped Paris" and' can put a good face on -the matter.
