people seem to have a constitutional in
ability TO be ready on time and they go
through life, causing more discomfort and
exciting more irritability than a little.
They are placidly selfish and agra

King Alexander, of Servia, who is now
getting to be quite big boy, nearing his
seventeenth birthday, attended his first
ball q few days ago at Belgrade The first
LADY with whom he waited way Mde.
Haustantinovitch a distant relative of
the young king. Imagine yourself dane
ing with person VINO bore such name
No wonder il frightened poor Alexander,
who they say was very awkward indeed,
dancing badly and stepping on the ladies'
skirts, tripping up on chairs and acting in
as clumsy manner as any ordinary shy
boy, instead of the dignihed king which
he is supposed to be. OF course. the
young girls al the ball were very anxious
to dance with the ruler of the country,
and did not mind much being roughly
pulled around by him, but aside from the
honor of being chosen as his partner
there was very little pleasure in dancing
with him.
The ethics of gowns, says the New
York Times, has become one of the seri-
Gus studies of the day. The numerous
dress-reformers have dived deeply into it
in one way, and there are others who are
Just as devoted TO the subject from an
other standpoint A critical study of
some model gowns was part of a recent
lecture by Mrs. Emily Bishop on the
Language of Textiles and Forms" An
u
uncut velvet of a darker shade was pro
nounced iRartistic, so far as the fabric
was concerned, because the shiny surface
of the satin, rejecting high lights lost
needed note of beauty.

1t is grand to be woman, standing very near
Seeing with her heaven born instinct every

Searching IN the darkest science till she finds
it bright with God
Do you count her power as nothing? This

Why life s trlfes are its great things. and sits

She who knows TIE power OF nothings holds
the greatest power Of all

1t is noble, earnest women, who prize well

Women who are looking upward, knowing

Even though their life be hidden; Just con

A London toilet specialist, says the
New York Times, has been apparently re
vealing some professional secrets to an
interviewer lie says artlessly in the
beginning that eyebrow pencils have gone
Out since the idea was introduced from
the east of using solution of Chinese
ink in rose water, which he discreetly
aGvertises is absolutely harmless.
Then he grows confidential, and SAYS:
perhaps You'll hardly believe it, but la
dies come here regularly TO have their
eyebrows clipped and sinCed and then
rubbed with petroleum, just as you would
go to have your HAIR cut
1.-The receipt of belladonna and eau de
cologne which we prescribe for ladies af-
hicted with damp hands has also become
very popular, and prescriptions come in
every day to be made up. In the summer
months, too, we are busy Uaking up
freckle washes a mixture of toilet vine
gar, oil of lavender, lemon juice, Oil of
cedar and distilled water being in special
request. Again l may astonish you by
the statement that one lady customer of
ours, German, washes her face once a
week in beer to keep away freCkles.n
He further teStiEes to the excellent Of
fees of a special cleansing powder sold for
white hair and in burst ofcan1or adds:
Between ourselves, [ may tell you that
this wonderful receipt, sold at half a
crown the box. is simply common -four
scented with altar of roses
A bit of information which ought not to
be withheld from women is the evidence
that men take much pride in their per
sOnal appearance, the dealer displaying a
box of 'mustache trainers" sold, of
course, to nUstache wearers. These are
little nets to be worn at night which fit
over the mustache and fastened by an
elastic around the head, thus holding the
refractory fringe OF hair in correct posi-
tion during sleep.
Ex-offtcio. as it were, Mrs Cleveland is
''the first lady' of the land, and by the
same token Mrs. Stevenson ought to be
the second
In one particular direction, however,
SAYS tha New York Sun, the wife of the
Vice President is second to none. She
has grown young during the past year
with a disregard of Old Rather Time
which sayors of impertinence At the in
auguration last March Mrs Stevenson
sat in the second row of the Senate gal
lery, directly behind Mrs Cleveland, and
the contrast between the two women was
almost startling. Mrs. Stevenson looked
painfully older than Mrs. Cleveland, and
palpa oily older than she wanted 10 look.
Her face was powdered to the whteness
of chalk, and her r2iment was rich, rare
and regardless regardless alike OF cost
and OF what the fashion books call "suit-
able for middle-aged ladies" Altogether,
she wasn't quite up to the mark which
most OF the spectators had set for the sec
ond lady of the land
That was a year ago Ten days ago the
congress Of the Daughters of the Ameri-
can Revolution met in Washington. At
the first meeting lady who occupied
LARGE chair in the center of the platform
rose and read an address of welcome. She
was not only elegantly dressed, but well
dressed she seemed young, handsome
and thoroughly mistress of herself and
/ the situation. She did not even remotely
| suggest the stout, oVcr-dre5sed, bepoW
dered woman who sat, year ago, in the
shadow Of Mrs. Cleveland S fair youth.
