baroness E.'s Eccentrrcity.

= Baroness F., the widow of the
last Swedish Governor of Sweaborg.
who surrendered the fortress to the Rus
sian troops in 1909, was very beauti-
full in her younger days. When Alex
ander the First went to Helsingfors to
open the Finland Parliament, a ball
was given in his honor, and he led of
the dance with the Generals wife
(Baroness E-), and with his usual
gallantry kissed her hand. The lady
decided to carry that kiss with her to
the grave, and from that hour she never
washed her right hand, but always wore
akid glove. In her old age this peculiar
habit proved, shall we say, somewhat
offensive, and she found it difficult to
induce people of her own rank and sta
tion to join her at a game of whist. To
crafty this, her only passion, she offered
free board, lodgings and clothing to
three poor students at the university,
whose only obligation was to play whist
with the old Baroness for a couple of
hours every evening. San Francisco
Argonaut.
