Most men, however, prefer to 'wear white collars, the , vqgue of the .'colored collar even in summer being at best a fitful one. Almost every other. man one meets of a stormy day is now wearing one of the new rubberized cloth raincoats that have found their way here from London. " iThey have' a decided style of their own and are entirely' worth while, but great care should be taken in making' a selection, if you are thinking of purchasing one of these expressions of the "dernier , cri." Nearly all the shops are showing them and the cut of these, coats, is a. thing to be taken -into consideration, as well as their weight. The very heavy ones, suitable for motoring-, in cnniy weather, ar fter - all . little , more than glorified mackintoshes, of blessed memory. They are stiff and do not hang well. The. nicer of these new coats are made of very soft material, have little weight and .are not over-r heating. They reach about to the knee and are made with soft, narrow shoulders, hapging in voluminous If they are at,all scantily cut they are without style of any kind and look more like potato sacks than anything else, under the, sun. A .coat that Is not shaped to the figure must be extraor dinarily loose or frankly, it is a sight.

( : - . v, CHILDREN'S CHARTER One of the . Principal Provisloiis Af V; fords Protection frohi "Parents Who DrInk--Another Section Alms : to : Prevent. Use of Tobacco by Yonng 1 feters Some Old Statutes Repealed. LONDON. April 1 J. The children act of 1898, which has been described as the . children's charter, comes into force to-morro'w. So wide are the provisions of this act - that twenty-one others dealing with children are en-, tirely repealed by' it," while seventeen are more or: less overridden. ' ; . Among the classes of people who will at once be -affected by the act are parents, foster parents, s tobacconists, publicans, policemen automatic ma chine makers,- park keepers, magis trates, dealers in old metal, pawnbro kers, entertainment managers of every description, barge owners, chemists, farmers and vagrants. There is no doubt that . many abuses of child life which have too -long been tolerated "will come to an end, but' not until che act has been inv operation for some time will it be possible to know what loopholes have been left. Already there is an outcry tnat one of the most widely discussed and ea gerly desired provisions of the act has been practically made null by iauity drafting. This is the clause dealing with publicians. In short, it forbids the presence of any child, boy or girl, under fourteen at any time in the drinking bar of any licensed premises. Drinking on increase. The increase of drinking arid drunk enness among women and the great and increasing - number of women brouirht before magistrates charged with Being drunk arid disorderly, have been the subject of frequent remark. But this evil is by no means confined to London. "It is just as great from one end of the kingdom to ; the oth er. So go where you -will in Great Brit ain and you will find-the drinking bars of the ordinary public houses fre quented by women., . They stand at the bar drinking beer or spirits just as the men do. In many cases they bring their children, boys or girls, with them. The baby in arms is tak en 'perhaps more-frequently than any other child, for it cannot be left alone in the house or at play in the streets. The custom of giving the child, not. excepting the baby in arms, occasional sips of whatever : liquor rthe parent is drinking is almost universal. To com bat this evil the act provides that no child under fourteen shall be allowed in the' bar, .... The fault now found with the clause is in the definition it gives to the word bar, namely, "any open drinking bar or any part of the premises exclusive ly or used mainly for the sale and con sumption of intoxicating liquor." "Sale and consumption," instead of "sale or consumption,' 'obviously opens the way to a legal Judgment and the ex clusion of children does not apply to a place where intoxicating liquor is con sumed but not sold. Waiting Rooms Planned. The publicans have seized upon the points. "With remarkable unanimity license holders in London and the provinces have been applying to the licensing .justices for permission to make structural alterations on their premises. These alterations will take the forms of waiting rooms for chil dren.'. "As, the law does not prevent a child from passing through a bar, the Li censed Vistulaers Central Protective Society has been careful to point out to license holders that "wherever there is a room capable of being used as a waiting room for. children in charge of persons taking refreshment at the bar there.' can be no objection to such a room being, allotted for the purpose. The provisions dealing with the sale of tobacco .to children have also attracted a. perhaps proportionate de gree of - public' attention. It will now be 'the. duty of every policeman and park keeper to seize and confiscate the cigarettes, cigarette papers, or tobac co of any .one apparently -under six teen whom he may find in the act of smoking. He. may search a boy thus caught in the act, but not a girl. - Tobacconists are forbidden to. sell tobacco in ahy form to any person ap parently . under- the : age of sixteen, whether it be : for his own" use or not. The penalty for such . a sale may be $10 for the first offense, $25 for the second, and $50 for the third. J Cigarettes Restricted. "Automatic machines .for the. sale of cigarettes formed an. obvious difficulty. To suppress them: entirely was consid ered too harsh and arbitrary, so it is provided that if 'on "complaint to a court-, of summary Jurisdiction it is proved 1 that any automatic machine for the sale of cigarettes" is being "ex clusively used by , children or ' young persons," the court may order those responsible either to take precautions to abate the evil or to remove the ma chines altogether." Other important . clauses provide that every ch'ld vunder seven placed out to nurse for more than forty-eight hours must' be registered by the foster parent with ... the local authorities, whose duty it will be to appoint in fant protection visitors.. These visitors wjjll supervise the homes in which, ihe children , have .been placed - and give any necessary, advice and rireotion as any ' necessary advice and direction as These visitors will be armed with considerable power and may cause the cbildren lto be removed to a place-of safejty, if the homes are insanitary. over-crowded,; or dangerous, or if the poster parents . "are,, unfitted (for their responsibilities "by - reason of negli gence, ignorance, inebriety, immoral!-, ty, criminal conduct, or other similar 'csuse.''.-.-; ;-:: .r- r Fire Raging at Rochester.
