THE D'ORLEANS SEPULCHRE.
bt- Louis Chapel, Dreux, Where Many Mem
bers of the Royal House Repose.


bers of the Royal House RepOse.
Although the late count of Paris was
perforce buried in exile at Weybridge,
England, the dOrleans family have a
splendid mausoleum at Dreux, in the de-
partment of Eure-et-L Loire, France,
where several members of the royal
house sleep their everlasting sleep.
The chapel of st. Louis. as it is called,
was built in 1916 by the dowager duch-
ess of Orleans With her son the future
king, Louis Philippe, she laid the
cornerstone on September 10 of that
year. The structure was greatly en-
larged by Louis Philippe.
Among the statues in the cry pit,
which are all from the chisels of cele-
brated sculptors. is group by Fran
ceschi, in which a small angel holds
aloft cross with one hand, while with
the other it beckons smaller angel
toward the skies. This group is in
memory of two young children of the
Count of Paris, one of whom died at
the age of 8 months, the other when 5
months old.
The statue of Praddler commence
rates the death of Mile de Montpensier
in 1918, when she was but , months old.
There is another to the young duke
of Penthievre, who died in 1928 at the
age of years.
On January 30, 1889, the duchess of
Wurtemberg, second daughter of Louis
Philippe, was inferred here. The
bishop of Chartres otficiated at the fu-
neral services, which took place in the
presence of the entire court and at
which the tenor, Dupre, sung the re-
QUEEN music.
The duke of Orleans was laid to rest
with his sister on August 4, 1847, vic
tim of the accident which he met with
on July -. A fine statue made by
Loison, after the model by AIRY Schef-
fer, represents the duke in full uni
form, pressing his drawn sword to his
heart
Near by rests the duchess of Orleans,
who died at Richmond in 1853. Her
statue, by Chapu, represents her with
her face turned toward her husband
and extending to him her right hand
There are also sleeping figures of the
Princess Adelaide and the dowager
duchess, the latter clothed in the royal
mantle and wearing the ducal crown.
This was the work of the young Barre
To this sanctuary, on June 9, 1876,

HE OLD LADY.
She Is Not So Much In Evidence as She
Used to He.

JSeu TO he.
A picturesque figure is passing out of
society, if she has not already passed.
We seldom, in the drawing-room, meet
the old lady. At this moment she is to
be found chiefly in villages remote
from the railway, or, if in town, she is
apt to belong to the distinctly poorer
classes and to be engaged in some
hunble occupation, as, for example,
the keeping of an apple stand, or the
selling of newspapers around the fer
ries or elevated stations. Thus en-
gagged, she wears distinctive dress,
almost uniform. 1t consists of
gown of some very dark or neutral
tint, with straight full skirt ending
at her ankles, a round waist, no drapery
or pulled sleeves, but severely plain
and rather short ones, leaving the
wrist free; a little three-cornered
shawl covers the shoulders-always
that-and hood or bonnet protecting
the gray hair.
These old women are frankly old
They seem to have lived hundred
years, and never to have been young.
Their old faces are crisscrossed like
maps with innumerable fine lines; they
bear themselves with certain patience
and dignity.
But they are not in society. They
are part of the world outside, which
does not exist for the sheltered and
guarded and well-to-do. They are like
the peasants in French pictures, as
raightforward, as childlike, as limo
cent, as calmly Indifferent to fashion.
What have they to do with it-what
has it to do with them?
In the strenuous struggle to retain
youth, or the semblance of it, which is
the foible and weakness of our period,
the old lady has difficult time of it
Just now. The masseuSe labors to
efface her wrinkles those time-reveal-
ing marks, which, bravely worn, have
beauty of their own. She tries
creams and unguents, hot water and
cold water, galvanism and steam that
her skin may remain as soft, as rose
hued, as flexible as it was at twenty.
In this there is no harm, but, did she
only know it, there are placid old faces
among the Friends and among the
Shakers, too, which have kept off
wrinkles and retained shape and
smoothness solely by the spirits in
ward light, and peace and help.-Har-

A Shopping Incident.

She was naughty dame, and being
on a shopping expedition with a friend
happened to catch a glimpse of an
acquaintance she did not want to rec
ognize.

counter. l just saw someone l don't

did not see anyone near them.
so, some horrid woman with = smirll
on her face. OF course l have only
a bowling acquaintance with her, and
although her face is SO familiar | can
not remember her name"
They finished their shopping and the
two ladies found themselves at the
same point where one of them had seen
her disagreable acquaintance.
There she is again. Why do be-
lieve she's been there all the time"
she said, pointing to the person in
question.
THAT woman? Goodness sakes, that's
yourself you see in the mirror there, :"
said her friend, choking with laughter.
And the mortified woman who had
cut her own reflection was obliged to
acknowledge that the disrgreeable
smirk was her own Detroit Free Press

Baron Haussman, the celebrated
French administrator, who may al
most be said to have made Paris new
city, used to relate the following auec-
dote by way of illustrating the feeling
of many country gentlemen toward the
projects: One of these gentry entered
the projects Office, having some com
plant to make, and proceeded to state
his errand in a pretty lofty tone, and
without taking off his hat, The officer
was equal to the occasion. wait a

on, and turned to his caller. Now"

No Provencal churches of later date
than st. Trophine demand attention
in sketch like this. Along the sea-
coast Saracenic invasions had fostered.
in very early days, a fortified type of
church, and this was brought into
greater prominence by the Albigensian
wars and the constant attack of Med
iterranean pirates; even the church
which enshrines the bones of the holy
Marys has military looking walls and
manifestations. But, common to all
the southerly parts of France, fortified
churches may best be studied to the
westward of Provence; and when
Northern Gothic penetrated the land,
the attempt to unite its characteristic
ideas with Provencal ideas in regard to
ground plan and proportions, produced
results which are interesting rather
than attractive. The pointed work of
Provence has di3tincter local flavor
than that of most of the other prov
inces of France, but it appeals to the
lovers of architectural history more
than to the lover of architectural
beauty.-Mrs. Schuyler Van Rensse-

do not trouble themselves to put it

To Prevent Liquor Selling on Palace Cars
A movement has begun against the
Pullman and Wagner cars to prevent
them from selling beer and spirits
while in service. 1t is claimed that on
some trains this service is the same as
a second-class saloon, and is source
of much complaint to many travellers.

DIXON AND CRITIC

Fight Twenty Rounds and the Referee
Calls 1t Draw.
BOSTON, June 29.-FIve thousand
spectators witnessed one of the pref
ties fights ever held in this city at the
Casino tonight between Dixon and
Critic. Critic seemed over fat but
his heavy form created the impress
sion that Dixon would have hard
tussle to win. But here
was where the colored man
again proved himself game and
adroit at ring tactics. He was cuffed
aud slapped about the face by his
heavier opponent, but on more than
one occasion during the 20 rounds It
looked as though his left hand would
finish the Australian, Critic Is
great fighter and no mistake, but the
impression gained from the battle OF
tonight that anywhere near even
weights the colored boy would win.
Critic tipped the beam at 1876 and
Dixon 1913.
For the first few rounds Critic was
in high feather, landing frequently,
and with effect. Dixon seemed wild
and wasted much strength, swinging
into nothingness, while CRITICS move-
ments of almost perfect side stepping
and crossing were In wonderful style.
| In the second round he was warned
| by Eckhart that he must refrain
from roughing with his elbow the
negroes chin. He did as requested
and he got no further Instructions.
| He held the advantage up 10 the
close OF the fourth round, but in the
fifth Dixon did some hot rushing, but
not doing much damage. Both were
tagged in the seventh and the blows
| Critic gave Dixon's face and head re-
peatedly brought blood. In the
eighth Dixon caught Critic full in the
face and the pair exchanged rapidly
neither being hurt up to and includ-
ing the fifteenth round.
Round 16-George put in one on
Critics head ana missed wicked
right for the jaw. In ducking to
avoid the latter Critic was met with
the arm swing Of the left from the
colored lad.
Round 17-Griffo met the first rush
OF d xon with stiff lefthander and
the negro's head went back. He re-
tired to the further corner but re-
turned with rush, shot out the left
again and landed on CRITICS jaw.
Round 19-Again did Dixon catch
his opponent when he ducked A
cllnch followed and when the pair
parted the flesh over Dixon's left eye
was cut and bleeding. He was hght~
ing all the time, however, and before
the round was finished he had re-
covered.
Round 10-There was a slight
breathing spell and then a rush by
Dixon, close sidestep by Critic and
then the pair were again IN the centre
of the ring. Critic was first to lead
with q we'll measured right, finding
Dixon's jaw. while the darkey's leIt
reached CRITICS eye viciously.
Round 30-There was furious two
minute exchange of blows in which
the honors were devided and then q
walk around the ring. The PAIR had
fought their fight of fights and at the
flush they shook hands and laughed
good naturally at one another. The
, refree declared the affair draw.
