the Ironsidos made three runs and the
Manhattans two.

them any longer. l saw a blonde at a

The most talked Of beauty In the Mon
rmental City is Miss Adele Horwitz
She has a reputation as assured as that
of Marion Langdon or Sallie HargOus in
New York, and she has won her laurels
as the Baltimore beauty par excellence in
Philadelphia, Narragansett Pier and Bar
Harbor. She Is the only daughter Of B.
F. Horwitz. a prominent business man
Of Baltimore. and through her mother,
who was the daughter Of the world
known physician, DIR. Gross, she is con-
nected with the best Philadelphia and
Kentucky families
She is tail, fairly slender, and royalty
carries a head Of marvellous beauty on
her white shoulders. The coloring Of
that head is equal TO its grace, for it IS
produced by the palest roses Of the cheeks
and the golden brown Of the hair. Her
color is never high, but always Of that
pale tint seen III the hedge rose. Eyes
blue and well opened, brows arched, nose
fine and small, and a riante mouth make
up the other attributes Of the beautiful
Miss Horwitz. She has the well grooIned
look Of a high bred English girl, but
dresses in the quite fetching fashion Of a
French maiden. Two years ago, when
she made her debut, wen Baltimore, the
city Of beauties, was taken by storm

beer opened on the corner Of First ave

the organization to establish these asy-

children from 8 to 7 years Of age have
hitherto been turned into that high school
Of vice-the public street. The teacher
Of the First avenue school is Miss White,
who has had a long experience in kinder

To Drive Out lilies.

haven't a mosquito bar nor a screen
door about my house, and yet there are
seldom any flies and never any mosqui-
toes about il. I learned the secret Of
successful warfare against these pests
when living in the swamrsof Louisiana,
where, summer and winter, mosquitoes
swarm. For some years life was unen-
durable, and No meal could 30 eaten in
peace. But all at once there was a
change for the better. Bars and screens
were often ont Of place, but there was
almost an immunity from insects. l
was patching at the time and had just
changed my colored boy. The new
conner explained to me how he kept the
CRITTERS away. He burnt small pieces
Of gum camphor on the cook stove and
used a secret preparation he called .'sude-
killo." When l got married and came TO
Missouri l impaired the secret to my
wife, and as there is no patent on il that
l know Of, / would advise all follow suf-
ferers to 60 and do likewise. The gum
camphor alone is ample for the purpose,
and need only be used two or three times
a day.-Herbert A Finley in st. Louis

The Prince of Wales Daughters.

The two princesses, Victoria and Maud
of Wales, are pretty and bright young
women. Seeing the good time that their
older sister (the duchess Of Fife has had
since her marriage they are pining for
husbands, and they make no bones of
saying that they are weary Of the re-
straint in which they are kept. The
Prince Of Wales has insisted that his
daughters should be reared in the strict
est simplicity, and the plainness of their
attire has occasioned general remark.
These girls seem to have inherited much
Of that strength Of character for which
their grandmother is noted. Maud is
particularly pretty.-Cor. Chicago News.

An HeIress' Mirrors.

Mirrors on dressers and bureaus are no
longer a la mode. They are still there,
bat are made wholly for ornament, most
Of them being odd affairs shaped like an
egg and 20 high up that little Miss Muf-
fet couldn't see the tip Of her nose in
them. Instead, the fashionable woman
uses a long cheyal, swung in a frame,
and in which she can ~ everything

buckle on her slim boot. Miss Letters
cheval glass must be eight feet high and
three fest broad. Il Is swung IN a gold
frame and il 50 adjusted that it mirrors

olic churches on the continent, and which
are called eternal ~lamps."-Washing-

follows, in which the carriage drive is
varied by the appearance Of the donkey

Churchill and Miss Phipps read the Eng

another drive. After a cup of tea her
majesty receives the minister in attend
anee, writes her private letters, which

Only a Broken Heart.

There was buried from her home in
Lexington avenue Friday morning a wo-
man who died in this way. There isn't
anything remarkable in the case, and
the facts are as hackneyed as a fourth
rate novel. Just the old story Of a man
and a woman. She was 10 marry him,
but at the last he found some me he
liked better, told her 50 in a nice way
and that ended it. She wasn't a love
sick girl-she was in her twenty-seyenth
year, and all her girlhood had more af-
lection offered than falls TO the lot Of
most pretty girls. After he left she lost
interest in things, never moped, nor
cried, no complained, nor even looked
unhappy; she simply got tired, couldn't
eat, didn't sleep well, began to fall away,
one, two, three months-and died. That
WAS all. The doctor hardly thought it
worth telling. Is it3-New York Press.
