The cedar chests in the Astor mansion
which contain the superb underwear of
the queenly Mrs. Aston are perfect house

engraven gold lockers with the initial
"a" wrought in finest carving upon its
surface Inside the chest, neatly folded
in webs Of choicest linen, are the dainty
garments of society's queen Each week,
as they leave the ironing sheet, they are
laid within the chests to await the bid
ding of the owner. Every article of this
superb wardrobe is stitched by hand,
and no materials but the purest and
finest Of linens and cambrics are used.
They are all deliberately trimmed with
lovely point and duchesse laces, and the
initial "A" is daintily embroidered on
every article.
In the SAME orderly manner Mrs. A.
tor arranges her footwear. which is
equally as exquisite; only the cedar
chests have apartments nodded in which
each slipper and boot fits perfectly and
keeps its shape.
By the way. Mrs. Aston has a very
pretty foot for an old lady. Her ankles
are small and shapely and her toes are
extremely narrow. Her daughters. Mrs.
Coleman Drayton and Mrs. Orme Will

feet, and they are eternally envying their

THE MEASURE or OUR DAYS.

In ALI our walks, in all our ways.
Think not the measure OF our DAYS
Ia gagged BY figures and by rules,
"A erst was taught us in the schools
But. as we help brothers needs
Ry noble acts and generous deeds.
IN giving comfort where we may,
By lighting up mOurner's way;
The sum of means that we employ
To turn fellows ills TO joy
This is the measure Of our days.
A veteran in the wars of life.
A urisoned soldier in the strife
OF soul with etingy. envious Time
Is he who makes his actions rhyme
To universal brotherhood.
Though long or short hath been his ROAD
Centuries or decades his abode
Among his kind, it matters least
So fellows by him have been blest.
His life is measured by his plan
OF dealing with his fellow man.
This is the measure Of his days.
And much methinks of time he gains,
For all his labOrS, all his pains,
For reaching outward far and near
To succor want and shelter fear.
No stingy paddock hens him in,
To mean desires and groveing sin.
A widows blessing him avails,
An orphans prayer some good entails,
While stretching outward over man
He converse holds with Natures plan, .
And solving life's deep mysteries.
He grasps eternal verities.

London Women of Rank Out Driving.
Lady Londonderry drives through in
a beautifully turned out carriage,
dressed in electric blue, and wearing a
small piece of blue flower in her black
bonnet. Viscountess Curzon, in lovely
gown of shaded foulard with merveil-
leux velvet sleeves, a deep collar Of
cream guipure, and a wide brimmed
leghorn hat, drives with great skill a
pair of dark browns. She is usually ac-
companied by her little daughter, and
her conveyance is the neatest Of park
phaetons. Lady Mildred Denison drives
her father, Lord Londesborough, in his
own mail phaeton. She wears a light
coat and a dainty little hat with pink
roses. Mrs. Sam Lewis has a pair Of
dark browns in her park phaeton, which
attract much attention.
Lady whips are more plentiful than
ever in the Lady's mile. A pair Of
horses is the smartest, though many
neatly turned out things, drawn by a
single animal, look very well. No one
drives better than Lady Curzon. Count
ess Grosvenor comes neal her in skill
and Lady Brooke is perhaps equal, but
she cannot be excelled. Among morn
