LoNDoN's TWo FREE WOMEN.

Lady Charlotte Schneider and the
Baroness Burdett-COutts.
Lady Charlotte Schneider is the only
woman in the world, if we except the
Baroness Burdett-C outts, who can boast of
being a Freewoman of a London City
Company. She owes this honor to the Fan
makers, for she is at the present time the
greatest authority ON ancient and modern,
foreign and British fans, and the splendid
collection which she lately presented to the
British Museum is visited almost daily by
people from all parts of the world.
Lady Charlotte was born in the year of
Napolean's retreat for Moscow, and was the
only daughter of the Earl of Lindsay. Al
though her greatest interest will always be
her fans she spent something like twenty
years in collecting the $50 rare specimens
now in the Museum, she has performed a
piece of very practical philanthropy erect
ing shelters for the London cabmen, who
would all be proud to give her a ride for
nothing. Lady Charlotte is now quite
elderly, but she is full of bright intelligence,
and is at present engaged in an exhaustive
work on old playing cards.
The Queen, who is also a collector of curios,
takes great interest in Lady Charlotte's
treasures, and accepted the dedication of her
pool on fans.-PaU Mall Budget.

DO BABIES EYES GR0W7
An Interesting Question for Young
Mothers to Ponder Over.

An Interesting Question for Young
Mothers to ond over
How big are IA young baby's eyesg" We
have heard it stated within the last day
or two that "a young baby's eye" is as big
as a grown persons eye; that the eye does
not grow as the body grows; that it is the
same size when the baby is born as it is
after the baby has grown up to be a man or
woman; that it is born full size, and is
then as big as it ever gets to be. This
statement has been submitted to a number
of experts on babies, who generally agree
that "a young baby's eye" grows as the
body grows, though not in the same ratio.
But is it true?
Authorities are sometimes in error. Elk.
pert witnesses frequently tangle themselves
up in all kinds of contradictory statements
of facts; expert physicians do not reach the
same conclusion from identically the same
basis Of reasoning; expert cotton buyers
oftentimes buy when the slumps in the
market prove that they should have sold. II
may be that the baby experts whom we have
questioned upon the subject of baby eyes
have spoken without due consideration. We
should like to nave the puzzle settled. Dc

If you wish to discover whether any girl
of your acquaintance is popular with the
masculine sex take a peep at her boudoir
couch. Should you find there a group of
pillows formed of narrow yellow silk rib
bons, having black stampings upon the
surface, you may decide at once that her
acquaintance list embraces a host of mascu-
lines welded to the fragrant weed. That she
is a favorite among them goes without say
ing when you learn that every ribbon
strip has been contributed by some manly
smoker, who has saved up for the fair col
lector the yellow silk ribbons tying his
bundle of cigars.
When the young woman has gathered a
sufficient number of the ribbons she stitches
them with black embroidery silk upon a
foundation of linen. This cover when COM
pleted is slipped over an eiderdown pillow
and is given a prominent place upon its mis-
tress's divan. The more ribbons she collects
the more pillows she can fashion; and the
larger her stock of cigar-ribbon headrests
the more Difference she receives from her
less fortunate sisters, who look ON with envy
coupled with admiration at this evidence of
their friends popularity among the lords of

PATTI AND THE SPANISH KING

There are many anecdotes told of the
young King of Spain and his kisses. When
-Adelina Patti had the honor of singing be-
fore the Queen Regent of Spain, and the
royal lady had co~mplimented her on
her singing, Patti asked permission
to see the little King. The great
sovereign in Europe with whom she
was not personally acquainted. Alfonso
XIII. was brought into the room
III his nurses arms. Patti made a deep curt
sey to him, and pressed his little dimpled
hands to her lips. But the Queen inter-
posed, saying
my son shall not be the first Spaniard
who is so ungallant as to permit a lady to
kiss his hand. Allow him to revenge him
self with a kiss
Obediently little Alfonso threw his little
fat arms around the neck of the prima
donna, and bestowed upon her a most warm
and unkingly kiss.

The bowlers of the Catholic Club are show
ing great interest in the head pin tourna-

alleys, often four, every night. Few scores
are entered in the records as the competitors
do not hold tickets that fall below so. The
leaders have no further use for even a fifty
total. Judge O'Donnell want "a or more to
improve his total, while Cavanagh, who is
on top by a pin can better his total by three
points by scores that the second man would
nave to reject. The maximum score is GOO.
1t represents sixty strikes and will
not be reached. In fact it
is doubtful if the highest total
will exceed $50, which will be excellent.
1t is amusing to watch the bowlers. Ere
quently they will roll pin balls and bring
down the head pin and the sixth time will
just miss it by a hair and ave to begin

sixty pins ahead. Wiley made the best

been provided by the Graduate Advisory
eddy be ratified by the students. which
means a radical reconstruction of the bust
ness management of athletics there. The
past season the gross receipts from football
alone were not far short of $4,000, the net
receipts being approximated at $500.
A general athletic Treasurer, who is not a
student in the college, is to be appointed to
take charge of all accounts and money.
This will relieve the undergraduates of an
immense detail of work. The new officer is
to be salaried, and perform his duties under
a pond of $4,000. Another new departure
is the appointment of a head coacher in foot
ball for next season. 1t was announced to
night that j. B. Fine, 'S2 had been selected.
