ANARCHY IN FASHION,

M. WORTE'S LAMENT.

The present anarchy of fashion is a themo on which Paris couturiers have no difficulty in waxing eloquent." To the DI 1oface vulgar devotees of La Moda no longer possess faith and the spirit of obedience.

would

seem that

Each woman dresses on she thinks will be most becoming to her. One chooses the robe à 3 pasier, another the sheath, a third the draped gown. On being asked by L'intransigeant to explain this M. Jean Worth

agreed thu

that anarchy reigns, but in a sense more disquieting than people imagine. What is saddest in his eyes is that whereas all dresses look different all women at bottom dress alike. Women (says M. Worth) have the sense. of imitation. This tendency is vulgarized by third-rate industries, which are auda cious enough to copy our rarest and most expensive modsis. This is deplorable, for a vulgar woman cannot gain in distinc tion by putting on an unbecoming or ostentatious gown.

She

only discredits true elegance. Some time ago Mrs Vanderbilt purchased a beautiful gown in London of couturier. What was her amazement on returning to New York find her cook wearing not the same far from that-but an ext repro- gown, duction of hers" It was like two sisters. one with chic and the other.

HUNT FOR THE SECRET OF LIFE.

CHEMISTS HOPING TO DISCOVER A FORMULA.

ท

A hunt more exciting than any man hust is going on at present in the inbora- tories of some of the more adventurous biological chemists-a hunt for the secret of life.

It is now seriously hoped by some of the more advanced scientists that the secret of the causation of life may be discovered-that it may be possible to find. the formula which will open the door to the creation of new living things.

Some years ago a zcientist described to the British Association experiments which he believed tended to prove that new life had been created in a test tube, but eritics suggested that there was scine law in the proceedings--that the spark of life had crept in unobserved and had not been created.

Efforts are now being made to arrive at the point of discovery along the road of chemistry-to discover the exact combina tion of oxygen, nitrogen and so forth; that goes to make up the germ of life..

THE EIGHT TASTE.

One scientist is already said to have made synthetic eggs "that is, to have compounded substances which had the taste of eggs, and it is claimed that real hous' cggs in an infertile state-incap able of developing into chickens-will, if treated with lithium chloride, mantent the signs of life, and undergo develop ment for a few

days These infertile lithium chloride, have not yet produced Eggs, fertilised with chickens after a few days the develop meat stops-but hope is not abandoned that the secret of introducing effective life into an infertile eg by chemical racans may be found. The starting of life in frogs' eggs has also been contrived, merely by pricking holes in them, but here also the process of life stops after a few hours.

The idea of being able to create life is 64 colossal" that, some scientista mila at it, and regard it as wildly improbable. Others, however, are less sceptical.-Daily Espres

HOUSE-HUNTING, NOT HOUSEBREAKING.

A SUCCESSFUL DEFENCE.

At the London Sessions on January 12th, Henry Keeling, 49, tool maker, was Acquitted on a charge of possessing house implementa by night. In evi-

breaking

dence Keeling admitted that he was carry- ing a screw-driver and a chisel, and that he entered a house in Talford-road, Lam.

He explained,

to ges into the house in Tallord-road, and to see the owner next day and try to get accepted as the legal tenant. "He had been all over London in an endeavour to find a house to rent.

The Chairman (Sir Robert Wallace). said that although entering the house was doubtless improper thing, it was not, wn offence in law it there was to felonious intent."

A letter had been received from a clergy man sponking in high terms of Keeling's, character,
