Lolita was rejected by Sorosis not be-
cause she is an actress--Sorosis includes
q number of actresses-but because she
has kicked her way to fame. 1t is all
along the line of the converted darky's
philosophy, You may dance, but you
mustn't cross your legs"
The incident is really no ones concern
save that Of the ladies involved, for q
club which knows no Obligations outside
is free to contine its membership to con-
genial people. Nevertheless Miss Crab
tree is such a respectable, blameless lit
tie woman that every one feels for her,
and a great many are asking if all the
members of Sorosis, even those who have
not been forced by circumstances on the
stage, but who may have cut a broad
swath in society and possibly in the
divorce courts, enjoy such universal ad-
miration as does the despised and reject
ed Lolita.
She can find consolation in the fact
that some very excellent people on both
sides Of the water are being shut out
from society walls that shelter many of
their interiors. York Commercial

Bowling Down to Visitors.

We are not giving ourselves any I'M
easiness about the visit of the Infanta
Eulalie to Chicago. All this talk about
our inability to keep up our end Of the
rules of etiquette is simply so much fic-
ton calculated to belittle our cultured
society. Chicago has not been idle the
last four years. Ever since the immortal
Professor A. j. Fishbladder came into
the midst of us and taught us how to eat
peas with fork we have been able to
hold our own against the rest of creation.
There was time when some uncouth
elements in our society denounced Fish
bladder as charlatan. All these per-
secutions did Eishbladder suffer with the
patient, unprotesting meekness of q
medieval Christian martyr, and now, 10
and behold, the harvest has come, and we
glory in the fruition of his teachings.
1t is to Fishbladder that we are large
ly indebted for our ability to toady, mis-
cellaneously and abjectedly, to the vast
and unassorted lot of foreign titled MIN
compoops and knaves that is being
spawned upon this country at this time.
So long as the Fishbladder Handbook
of Indoor Etiquette" holds out its saving
grace we need have no fear for Chica-
COS culture, and we can confidently
view the swelling influx of Europe's no
BILE ragamuffins. -Chicago Record.

Old Fashions Revived.

There can be no doubt that the pre-
vailing fashions have been greatly in
Guenced by the recent exhibition of the
arts de la femme held at the Palais de
rIndustrie, Paris, and which has proved
such great attraction to the feminine
population.
In all the new creations" we notice
many innovations borrowed from the
marvellous retrospective exhibits which
have caused quite revolution in modes
of dressing. Even in the wonderful
draperies of the Tanagra, dating from
before the Christian era, one can find
suggestion. The splendid collection of
ancient prints, ornaments, paintings,
showing all the different styles in toilets,
hairdressing, ETC., have proved great
boon to all our dressmakers and mil
liners, who have called forth many an
idea for the coming season. And we
shall not be far out in saying that the
new toilets will bear the impress of by
gone days, but with adaptations to date,
When in the same day one can wear,
without in any way breaking the laws
of fashion. vatican and Louis XIV

Steller's sea lion is the king of FL,

animals that have been gloriously mis-
named after familiar land quadrupedS
his appearance is quite lionlike, partic.
ularly his massive head and ferocion0
countenance and his powerful neck
covered with long, coarse hair of n
tawny gray color. While he does NOT
roar quite SO thunderously as the KING

Prunes or Wheat.

Ten thousand pounds of green prunes
per acre. or 5000 pounds of dried is n
conservative estimate. Twenty bushels
OF wheat, or 1900 pounds, is a large
estimate per acre. The farm value of
the prunes this year is $3.50; the farm
value of the wheat is SIS. Our California
peach orchards will show as many pounds
green as OF dried prunes. with half the
dried product of prunes worth this year

The Geary Chinese act is one Of the most in
human acts that ever were placed upon any
statute book Boston Herald.
This is very highly exaggerated state
ment. The act merely requires Chinese
residents to register their names, as those
of Americans resident in China are reg
istered. No Chinese who obeys it will
be expelled from this country or sub
jected to any trouble whatever. The
penalty for disobeying it is far milder
than the Chinese penalty for disobeying
any edict. 1t is not law for the ex-
pulsion of the Chinese, or that restricts
any right of the Chinese, or that fnhiets
any wrong upon the Chinese, or that
ought to disturb the Chinese, or that
would disturb them in the least if they
took the trouble to give heed to it,
A law of the same kind, applicable to
Americans and other foreigners resident
In France, was adopted by the French
chambers last month. The new French
"alien law" provides that any foreigner
arriving at or living in any place in
France and desiring to engage in any in
dustry or profession shall within week
register his name at the prefecture of po-
lice, make declaration of his intention
and furnish satisfactory proof of his iden-
tity, after which he shall receive GER
titicate which he must retain, and which,
in the event of his removal to any other
place must be vised within two days.
The provisions Of the French law are
fully as rigorous as those Of our Chinese
registration law, and it has been strictly
enforced since its enactment few weeks
ago.-New York Sun.

CHATS WITH GYPSlES.
q Few Phrases with Which to Break Down
the Romany Reserve.

The gypsy is generally talkative when
you have broken down the barriers Of
reserve. For the benefit Of tho novice
will, however, remark that policemen
(prastramengros) and hedgehogs thotch-
iwichis) are both good subjects for dis
cussion. The gypsy does not break the
law more often than his neighbors, but
q policeman, as the embodiment Of all
that is orderly and conventional, is an
tipathetic to him. AS for hedgehogs,
they are cooked and eaten by tho Rom
any, who are wonderfully clever at
tracking and capturing these very shy
animals. The other day one of my gypsy
friends informed me that as a cure for
deafness there was nothing to equal
little melted hedgehog's fat applied to
the ear.
Tho following few words and phrases,
spelled as Theoretically as possible, may
be useful to any one paying his first visit
to q Romauy camp. By adroitly intro
ducing them into his conversation the
visitor may succeed in avoiding that ap-
pearance Of inexporience and greenness
which might tempt his hosts to receive
him MS an inquisitive gentle rather
than as a future "Romany Raj"

While sitting in the corner of hotel
parlor the other day overheard an in
structive little lecture which am going
to repeat. 1t was delivered by a Chicago
woman who was advising some friends
what to wear in the Windy City.
You don't need any medium things
at all" she declared emphatically, "be-
cause we never have any medium weather
in Chicago. You want few thin ones,
and all the wraps you own. On hot
day at the fair grounds you will wear as
little clothing as conventionality per-
mits. Ii you mean to get home in the
middle Of the afternoon, you may trust
the weather implicitly. If you are going
to be out till 6 o'clock, you want to take
your sealskin coat have never vet
found wrap that was too heavy when
the breeze blew in from the lake. Get
q special pair of soft yellow shoes for the
fair and get them at least a size and h
talf too large. The Chicago foot is a
climatic development, from which the
longest southern pedigree will not pro
tect you. Kate Fields Washington.
