FOR FEMININE EYES.

Until the war Southern women had no call
for public life, SO that until 1861 there
was no such thing as club for their
sex in all the city of Memphis. Now there
is scarcely city in the United States with
SO many women's organizations-social
literary, political, historical and reform
clubs galore.
With the exception of L " Henry Somer-
set the president of the British Woman's
Temperance Associations, no foreign
speakers have been invited by the women
managers of tue Atlanta Exposition.
Lovers of china painting of to-day may
be interested In knowing that that art had
its birth in America at the Southwark
china works In Philadelphia before the
war of the rebellion, and single example
Of cream waro from the factory, with floral
design painted in blue monochrome be-
6eath the glaze, has been found dated 1910.

treated. Miss Consuelo was told that she
committed an error of taste In saying
"Thank you" and ..If you please" to
the servitors of the family. The young
lady was incensed at being thus cor
rected, and Immediately became very par
ticular not to omit saying THANK you
and ..If you please" whenever she ad-
dressed even the humblest menial. The ccp-
sequence wss that Cousuelo Vanderbilt
has become known as Miss Thank You"
among all the servants.
1t is needless TO say that Miss Vanderbilt
has received most finished education.
She was carefully instructed in the most
polite accomplishment both here and
abroad She speaks French and plays The
piano, and sketches as matter OF course.
Most of her training was received in the
United States, however, ard the decree of
divorce secured by her mother provides that
she shall be educated In this country. Mis-

dria, has received letter from her daugh-

tention of Prof. Andrews and Miss Minne-

found that a residence in that city was
necessary before the ceremony cuuld be
performed there, SO they have sailed for

FACTS AND FANCIES.

A handsome broche weave in silk and
wool, and shown in seven beautiful combi-
nations, was recently seen.
Silk is an important factor in its con-
structoin, its bright and varied tints max
ing a rich combination with the neutra:
tones of the wool.
II is of German make and it Is distin-
guished by warmth of color and perfec-
tion of finish.
The popular wrinkles. ridges and furrows
which were marked with so much popular
ity through the spring and summer season.
are not to be neglected during the coming
fall.
The raised work was developed in black
upon many cofors of ground, the effect OF
which was pleasing in the extreme.
A boucle OF great beauty was seen in a
large assortment of colors, showing solid
ground, upon which glistening worstea
thread, of contrasting shade, was worked
in small broken checks.
A variation of this style was also shown
carried out in plaid effects and showing
greater color combinations in its develop
ment.
A fabric of this seasons production is
called Orvetta cloth. 1t is composed OF
mixture of worsted and wool, woven some
what on the order of the old style sOleil,
but more substantially made and with
more enduring and brilliant luster, on 'ac
count of the large proportion OF worsted
used in it's composition. 1t is much sought
after by those who pin their faith to mohair
effects, and seems destined to have lib
eral distribution at 80 cents yard, as its
weight and feel are far superior to any
thing else of this class so far shown.
Destined to receive more than an ordinary
share of favora BILE notice are the black mo-
hair armures, shown in twelve decidedly
handsome patterns.
This fabric is made OF a mixture of wool

Improyinr ON Nature.

"Horrorsi' exclaimed the beautiful 80
ciety woman. do you mean to try to
sell me that picture as an artistic repre-
sentation of group of horses?"
The great artist paused a moment, be-
wildered. Then light broke in upon
him and with few rapid, graceful strokes
he painted out all the long, graceful tails
on the horses and substituted for each a
docked taft that stuck out straight like
pump-hapdle.
'Ahl" said the society woman, clapping
her hands with pleasure. Now, that is a
picture worth having. g."-Indianapehs Jour

Consuelo is practically, IL not officially,
out in society, and her education may there
fore be deemed completed.
Her early life was passed in New York,
Newport, Islip and now and then in Eu-
rope. She was always very fond of her
fathers beautiful country home at Islif,
and learned 10 ride there She was never
very fond of Marble House," the famous
Newport palace of the family. This autumn
her town residence will be in the new home
OF her mother at the southwest corner of
Madison avenue and Seventy-second street

IL now, and Miss Consueio has a superb suite
of apartments in it, The house was origi-

DIPLOMATS ARE RETURNING
Legations Being Put in Order for
the Home Coming Ministers.
Sir Julian Pauncefote's Movements
Are Uncertain-BarOn Won Thiel-
man Is Due Next Week.

Now that Washington has seen presum-
ably the last OF the heated term, and the
delightful autumn weather has begun, an
carly return OF the diplomatic corps and
others who have been absent all summer
may be expected.
The London dispatches OF last week
stated that the British Ambassador, Sir
Julian Paunccfote. would sail for the Uni
ted States on the Sasnsday following, but
If this be true Sir Julian has failed to notify
the embassy to that effect. 1t is his usual
custom to advise them fully before sailing
from Europe, but up to the present time no
information bearing upon his movements
has reached here.
1t is not unlikely, however, that he will
be in Washington IN October, and that be-
fore his return he will pass few days in
Canada contelting with the Dominion
Minister of Marine with reference to the
terms OF the new treaty which he and Secre-
tary Olney will formulate looking to the
settlement of the claims of the Canadian
vessels seized in Ber.ng Sea during past
years.

Fell she from her high estate,
Fell as if the hand offate
Had in malice struck her down:
Thrown aside her dainty crown;
Left her in the street alone,
Heart to heart with paving stone.
She So young and sweet and fair,
Creature of q purer air;
Light of home; the radiant CLEAN
OF fathers dearest dream.
Sunshine was but shadow while
Friends could linger in her smile.
Fell she from her proud estate,
Fell as by the hand offate;
Heart to heart with paving stone,
Cast into the street alone
By confounded old safety bicycle.

Her form divine, her features rare,
And noting that curved lip and cheek,

Such lips, thought l, were meant to smile
With tender passion all the while;
The words that issue from between
Must only be divine, serene.
And there, as il to GRO wn my wish.
A careless waiter dropped her dish
And II heard the word she said
And yearned no more, but promptly fled.

Tor therecent strike troubles in the coal

contemporary remarks, "rhere are
many things about the cause OF this

of the things about it that we do be
leye is that the reduction of the tariff
has not been the cause OF it, There is
no foreign coal that can compete with
the Pocahontas coal, except the Nova
Scotia coal. " And it further adds:
1--WE are not informed with any de
gree Of accuracy concerning the
changes that have taken place in the
importation of Nova Scotia coal in this
country since our tariff bill went into
effect, but from the hest Information
we are able to secure. there seems to
lave been no material change from the
state OF things that existed bnfore the
new tariff bill was passed. Certainly
there is no competition between Nova
Scotia coal and the Fiat Top coal at
any point IN the interior. And there
can he none ct Norfolk, the port to
which ali the Flat Top coal is shipped.
1t is possible that the Nova Scotia coal
msy cause the Flat Top coal that is

lower its prices somewhat, bnt that is
not competition which could serious
