mends to those skilled in Interpreting the
mystic properties of numbers the problem
presented by the important part the number
one played in the career OF the Sage of Gray
stone In the election of 1876 IL was conceded
that he lacked but one vote to make him
President. When the electoral commission
was appointed to count the electoral vote,
every vital question was decided against Mr..
Tilden by a vote TO Z, or majority of one.
When the decision was made final. Mr.. Tilden
was declared to have been defeated by vote
of 1856 to 1874, a minority of one. After his
death his will was attacked and the clause of
tine will by which he disposed of onethird
Of his great estate was sustained by one Judge.
On appeal to the Supreme court in banc that
disposition was declared invalid by a majority
of one. On appeal TO the oUu.t of last resort
thatdecision was sustained by majority of
one, andfnally reargument was refused by
the same ominous majority of one.

But what of the Gould alliance with Count
Boniface de Castellsne2 / think most of my
countrywomen will be with me when write
that marriages of that sort are unnatural, and
for that reason usually radically wrong. Anna
Gould, or, more properly speaking,
the Countess De Castellane, is the daughter
of an American. The blood of simple
generations is in her viens. She is herself
little more than child Her nature has
for its setting the simple traditonsof the
New World Jay Gould was Napoleon
of finance Nothing more, nothing less. His
daughters do not even inherit that one talent.
The women in the family have always been
simple, home-loving souls, DO you think
the childwife, the Countess Anna, can pos
sibly have any interest tn common with the
old nobility of France2 DO you think the
great fetes, the brilliant levess, the court balls,
the state dinners, can ever mean to her what
q simple Christmas party ment under the
holy and the mistletoe in the dear old drawing
room at home?

Miss Ethel Stokes, daughter of Mrs. Anson
! Phelps Stokes, is a debutante and very popular.
| Her pretty little bedroom is ivory white, with
out a touch of color, save in the pretty pictures
| hung by dainty ribbons on the silkcovered
walls. The little brass bed is snowy white,
daperies and all; the floor is covered with
snowy rugs, and the cosy corner is done in
white corduroy to match the upholstery and
easy chairs. The toilet table and the writing
desk are in white birdseye maple, and all the
fittings for both are in ivory and gold.
Miss Cameron, the eldest daughter of Sir
Roderick Cameron, has most perfectly ap-
pointed suite of apartments in her fathers
country house, Clifton Berley, ON Staten Is
land. The bedroom is perfect example of
the first empire style of furnishings, and the
mahogany bed dressing table, chairs and
desk show the beautiful shape and decoration
Of that period.

Mrs. Frank Lesies sleeping room is almost
Puritanical in its exquisite neatness and plain
ness. Over the little single brass bedstead
hangs a crucifX of ivory, which is a work of
art in its matchless carving A rug of soft,
silky Persian weave covers the floor of the
tiny apartment and single chair completes
its furnishings. The toilet table and all its be-
longings are in the little dressing-r room which

On certain anniversaries Mrs. Leslie's
dainty brass bed presents a somber appearance,
for 1t is dTaped in black; the sheets, down
coverlids, and pillows are all covered with
silk ofinky blackness. Mrs. Burton Harrison,
who was Miss Constance Cary of the famous
Virginia family has her bedroom furnished with
the quaint old mahogany furniture in which
her great-grandmOther delighted. The roomy
old bed would make two of any modern
creation and the four tall carved posts reach
almost to the ceiling. BY the bed stands the
quantity carved steps, which used to be necess-
ary to success in reaching the soft embraces of
the feathery bed. A tall chest of drawers
surmounted by small looking glass, some
quaint old spindle-back chairs, and pictures a
hundred years old and more complete this
quaint room.
