shat is something you would never get
the average Englishwoman to be; she
isn't built that way" And I thought as
l noted the last words, "what remarkably
good United States Mr.. England Challi-
nor talks"
Speaking of the relative merits of
American and English newspapers he
said he thought English papers more
solid, though they seemed of late to copy
a lighter vein from American papers,
and admitted It might be in response to
popular demand.
Mr.. England -Challinor told me that
the newspaper paragraphs he had
seen about himself were rath-
er more amusing than other
wise, "though," he added, "the one
which stated 1 celebrated my appoint
ment by big drunk was annoying.
81 worked that day till $3.50. and took
my wife out in the evening. l have
known nothing but hard work for many
years, frequently working till II and ~
o'clock at night.
II don't even get time to read, though
I've lately been trying to read Marie
Corelii, and enjoy her books very much,
especially the descriptive parts"
Asked about his faverite sport, some
thing every Englishman is supposed to
make hobby of, Mr.. England Challinor
said: 81 used to be very fond of tennis,
cricket. and bicycle racing. 1 still play
tennis, but have given up the wheel and
l am greatly interested in baseball be-
cause l see it is more scientific than
cricket
"Do you know English people have
such long twilight no wonder they
take so much interest in such sports;
why we play tennis till $3.50 p. N. in
England by daylight"
Mr.. England -Challinor's wife and five
children Nora, Kathleen, Gilbert, Bessie
and Ruth live at Kansas City, Kansas.
The eldest is fourteen and the youngest
five years of age.
He belongs to the Episcopal church of
which he is a vestryman.
In his buttonhole he wears the badge
of the Brotherhood of st. Andrew to
which order he belongs. and he is also a
member of the A o. .. w
l was pleasantly disappointed that Mr..
England Challinor's clothes were not of
a loud check pattern.
His coat and vest were of dark tweed,
his linen correct and Immaculate, his
! trousers a small quiet check, his tie a
four in hand in harmonizing stripes,
neatly tied, and even his watch chain
a plain one, which he turned in
his hands just enough to show ner-
vousness without any embarrassment as
| he talked.
The two forefngers on his left hand
are stained, apparently from excessive
smoking, but otherwise his hands are
well kept.
He is an interesting entertaining talk
era courteous, gentlemanly, pleasant fell

He looks at least five years young Ell
than he owns to.
He has traightforward almost art

deed feel tempted TOGO on and moral
ize, but perhaps it would come more
within my province to describe the lat
est in wedding gowns. Since Easter
there has boon succession of weddings,
and the march will be heard from now
on until the end of June.
The latest and most elegant wedding
dress was made Of thick cream bengaline
with plain front to the skirt and
long train lined with numbers of pinked
out founces of cream taffeta. On the
left side of the front Of the skirt is
spray of orange blossoms and leaves,
growing smaller as it mounts, until it
ends in one waxy bud. The waist is Of
alternate plaitings of bengaline and
white lace, with pointed belt. The yoke
is made of one splendid piece of brussels
point and set across the bust are four
close punches of orange buds without
leaves or full blown flowers. The sleeves
are fattened gigots, reaching to the
wrists. Around the neck there is a
smooth collar of bengaline, with puff
fing of crepe hsse at the top. The tulle
veil reaches only to the knees and is
gathered closely at the top of the head I'M
der a bouquet Of orange buds. The veil
in this instance consists of three yards
of tulle, which is about 81 inches wide,
and the selvage edge falls at the bottom
unhemmed, and the front portions are
cut by the thread and also left unhem-
med, which gives it a more ethereal APP
pearance.
There was a picture costume for a
young girl which would be quite suita-
BILE for bridesmaid. The skirt was
plain mouse colored armure crepon.
There were a vest and collar of white
satin and cutaway jacket Of royal
faience blue velvet, or reps silk, with
very wide revers and collar faced with
the satin. There are turn back cuffs Of
white satin. All the edges of this satin
are piped and neatly stitched. The back
of the jacket is made very full and the
front cut away in historic fashion.
I had a glimpse at some of the new
est designs in jewelry, and they are very
beautiful, though for the most part lean
ing toward the antique. There was a
cluster ring where there was one large
stone surrounded by 10 smaller ones, all
set in a silver fhgree arrangement
There was a marquise ring with five
large stones in the center surrounded by
smaller ones. The central line was of
emeralds and the rest of white diamonds
alternately large and small, to fit be-
tween the emeralds. The ring was q
inches long. The ring itself was smooth
and rounded Another ring was single
fiat band on the inside, and this was
split on the upper side, making two
rings apparently, one having an emer-
aid and two diamonds, the other three

NEW LAMP SHADES.
Simplicity Almost to the Point OF Severity
Now the Fashion.


The over-ela borate lamp shade has
had its day. Fashion now DEGREES a
shade simple to severity, whose con-
tracted dimensions are in quaint con-
trast to the widespread founces and
furbelows of it's predecessors. The
new shades are of paper or silk plainly
drawn over smooth surface, and
are hand painted. They are finished at
the top and bottom with a prim quill
ing of narrow satin ribbon, and look
precise and Quakerfed to degree,
after all the 1aces, chiffons and flower
wreaths which have clustered about
lamps for the last few seasons.
Many are made to button up at one
side, so that they may be taken off and
either rolled up or laid out smoothly
when it is desired to pack them. Some
of these shades are etched out in black
and white, and have old prints of French
gentlemen and ladies as their only dec
grafton. The most gorgeous are out
lined in silver, as well as hand painted,
but deDure unobtrusiveness charac-
terizes them all.
1t is customary now for house fur
nishers to order lamp shade made of
the same material as the wall drapery,
curtains, upholstery, or other appoint
mentS of the room in which the lamp
is to be used, but the material is drawn
down in rigid flutes to fit the shade and
| finished at the bottom with only a mar
row ginp.-N. Y. Sun.

THEE SIMPLE DESIGNS.
Valuable Hints for Ladies Who Delight In
Dainty LiOen.

Valuable Hints for Ladies Who Delight In
Dainty Linen.
A fine quality of linen will be found
good body material for both large and
small doilies. Seven inches square is
good size, and to make it cut piece of
linen eight inches square.
The flowers may be worked in outline
stitch or solid with two shades of blue
silk. The leaves are to be green and
the stems darker shade of green or
light greenish brown.
When working small flowers do not
use a coarse grade of silk or linen floss
as it forms a ropy appearance on fine
linen and stands out too prominently
instead of lying fat as all fine embroid-
cry work should.
The design for a pretty linen dolly
having a spray of maidenhair fern en-
broidered in one corner is shown in the
illustration. AS it is simple to work
out, any clever girl should be able to
make one or number of them in a
short time.
The fern leaves may be worked solid
with shade of delicate green, while
the vines and stems should be indicated
with a darker shade of green to lend a
contrast.
After the design has been worked the
fringe can be made in the following
manner:
A short distance from each edge draw
few threads and work line of hem
stitching. Ravel out the threads from
the stitching to the edge of the ma
terial, at each corner catching few of
the Rawlings to form more threads. To
make them lie nicely around each cor
ner place the dolly fat on a marble
seat or on board and with stiff brush
smooth the threads out, then with a
small sharp pair of scissors trim off the
ends of the threads.
Take care when working the fern
leaves and stems not to draw the
threads too tight, as it will cause the
linen around them to quicker; this will
occur slightly in any case, however, but
can be remedied by washing the dolly
after the work is finished.
One of the most attractive features Of
a large piece, such as lambrequin,
scarf or table cover, is its border, and
particularly if pretty design and nice
| 1y worked.
A neat and very simple running bor-
der to work is shown in the illustra-
