Near the picturesque city OF The
Hague, the capital of the ehild-queen
Wilhelmina's dominions, is great
forest rseamed with marshes. In its
depths stands small and ancient
palace, concerning which touching
story is told.
1t was the residence of Queen Sophie,
the wife Of the dissipated and vicious
King William. The poor lady was
banished to the house in the wood, to
make the best use she could OF the
remnant Of her life.
Her first work was to make of the
forlorn palace home. With her scanty
income she brought comfort, If not
beauty, into it. She drained the neigh.
boring marsh and built snug little
dwellings for her work-people. She
knew every man and woman among
her laborers and servants, learned their
history, gave them advice-in word
ruled her tiny kingdom like a mother
She was an eager student, especially
of history and science. Her drawing,
room was frequented by wise men OF
the day. Her patronage was small but
she set struggling artists on their way
with shrewd judgment and helped
scientific men with keen intelligenc,
of the character of their work anC
needs, 1t was owing to her infuenc,
and help that Mr.. Motley was enabled
to write the History of the Dutch Re

In her moated grange the royal Ma

Of country which had given her but I

schools and asyums.

ace, surrounded by boys and swamp

THOSE BIG BUTTONS.

Winter.

They WIN BE the Gayest of the Gay This
Winter.
If buttons were gay in the times of
our grandmothers, they are to be
''screechers" now, in the words of the
manufacturers; but while they are
striking in color effects and hand
painting, as well as in size-for some
of them are even three inches in di-
ameter-they are beautiful conceits.
These large buttons are as light as a
feather in weight, being composed of
filagree French gilt or silver and stud
ded with jewels. Rhinestone buttons
are the latest, and the winter street
suits will have rows upon rows of
them. The small ones will button the
sleeves to the elbow and the larger
ones will form trimming down the
front and side seams of the skirt.
Huge, hand-cut pearl buttons, with
heads of staring owls and those of
horses, were noticed in the exhibit. 1t
is in the enamel buttons that the
French have displayed to perfection
their love of bright colors. The foun-
dation of the button is brass, upon
which heavy coat of enarael is placed,
and the button is baked, as is the case
with hand-painted china. After the
baking process has been gone through
with the button passes into the hands
of the artists, who decorate it in every
conceivable style. 1t is here that the
enormous cost of the button comes in,
and glance at card of these enamel
plastrous reminds one of the case Of
precious ivory painted medallions in
the art museum.
Enamel, rhinestone and pearl but
tons are to head the fashion list, and
sheuwho can not turn over her ten
dollar bill for q dozen buttons
might well consider herself among the
antiquities. While hooks and eyes are
out of fashion, as serviceable articles,
they are decidedly in it as a trimming,
and the Paris hooks and eyes of heavy.
rope-twisted brass and silver are as
large as belt buckles, and will be used
for the same purpose. They are four
inches in length, and will be worn at

The most attractive age of woman's
life is the period when she is still
young enough to be pretty and old
enough to be sympathetic, writes Oc-
tave Thanet in Ladies' Home Jour
nal. For as grace is woman's great
est beauty SO sympathy Is her greatest
charm. A graceful and sympathetic
woman Is bound to be attractive to the
end Of her days. If she adds taste in
dress and some sense to her equip
ment for pleasing and does not grow
deaf / see no reason why she should
not be fascinating In her old age.
Since the question, however, concerns
itself only with the most attractive
age Of woman must give the answer in
my first sentence. What that age as
measured by years mag be ought to
vary with the individual.

Those of rough wood with large cher
ries sprinkled over the handle are sold,
but are not a bit smart in tone.
The preferable ones are carved in
long slabs that are tipped with silver
or twisted in circle at the end that
the owner may slip her hand in to hold
1t better.
A style that fits the woman in the
rough tailor gown Is built similarly to
mans cane, having a broad claw OF
wood or burnt ivory tipped viz: ~. silver
placed at right angles to the handle
proper.
Burnt ivory is very fashionable still
especially If mounted with narrow flli-
gree silver bands, and some devices
show an elf's face carved into the ivory,
surmounted by cap Of silver. Very
tlressy umbrellas have handles Of plain
mother of pearl, fashioned column
like; others have large amethyst or
emerald laid into the metal at the end.
But women who dress modishly don't
go in for any Of these styles as much as
they do for the rough or scented wood,
twisted and turned and capped charity
with silver.

the correct method, then place 1t han.

for the drippings to remain in the tip
