WHEN BABY COMES.


New, in passing by the carved oak
door of some handsome country villa,
fitted over the brass knocker, an en-
broidered medallion of linen edged with
lace, know by that dainty sign that the
family therein are the prouder and hap
pier for an addition to their circle II
the addition is a girl child, the odd lace
and linen mat will be all white, and
nearer inspection of the object is reward
ed by the exquisite needework 1t dis
plays. In the center of the oval of finest
white Dutch linen is embroidered the
coat of arms of the house, all worked
about with hearts and darts and a cur
ious representation of a chubby bambino.
Around this Is frliled the finest old Dutch
lace, and the whole Is crlsply starched,
mounted on white silk and hooked over
the knocker, In case this medallion Is
mounted on pink silk, know then that
a boy has come to rejoice the hearts
of his parents; for this Is all done quite
according to a pretty Old Dutch custom
lately brought back into use by the de-
scendants of the founders of New AM
sterdam on the Hudson river. The cover
ing of the knocker was in those good old
days meant to announce the safe arrival
of a new prospective citizen or citizeness
to interested friends and neighbors, and
to warn visitors to rap softly with their
knuckles instead of with the booming
knocker Some of the linen knocker-
covers now displayed are priced heir

A wpLL4MoDUUATED VOICE.

Every woman, says the Illustrated
American will acknowledge the charm
of a wel.-modu,ated voice-yet how few
are willing to take the time or trouble
to cultivate one, cultivation being, un-
happily, necessary for the American
woman, whose voice, through heredity
and climate is aggressively sharp and
distressingiy monotonous. There are
methods for training the voice to spesk
just as there are to train the voice to
sing. In this era of physical culture
cannot understand why someone has not
started the fad of voice cultivation
1t is true we have hardened our "a's. =
but most cf uJ have stepped there and
have expanded nothing else.
The trouble Is few American women
know how to breathe, which is not re-
markable, when one considers for how
many generations American women have
been satisfied to be absolutely inert. The
new woman" whatever may be said
against her, should at least be given
the credit of arousing the feminine part
of this unwhole some legarthy and show
ing them the way to health and content
ment though the maZes of various eX-
ercises. But defective breathing is not
the only immediate cause for defective
vocaity. Whatever affects unfavorably
the general tone of the system viii surely
sooner or later register Itself in the voice
even If respiration is good-for the
voice is not only an Index of SOUL" but
a remarkably accurate index of the
body as well

PRINCESS HENRY OF PLEss.

Not long ago 1 met the young Princess
Henry OF P,ess and found her looking
loveiier, If possible, than ever. She al
ways reminds me OF a fairy princess
with her hair, which really looks spun
roses of her cheeks. l never saw a COM
plexion guiltless of one speck of powder
as brilliant as hers. Then she is so TALL
and bears herself as she ought-like a
young princess. Her husband, one of
the most truly distinguished of minor
German princes, is a very fine fellow in
deed, splendid whip and a thorough
sportsman in the best sense of the word
He wooed and won his bride in the hunt
ing fields of the New Forest Her beauty
inherited from her mother, Mrs. Corn
wallis West, and her sweet simple man
ers captivated him at the outset 1t
was only when they had been engaged
some weeks that Prince Henry made a
peasant discovery. Miss CORVALLIS
West opened the piano one night after
dinner, with an arch smile, struck few
chords, and then sang to him like a
nightingale or an Albinil The prince was
prouder than ever of his fiancee Not
long ago the distinguished couple were
received by the German emperor and em-
press, VINO immensely admired the lovely
face and manners of young English girl
who had stolen the heart of German
prince. Last season another Miss Corn

beautiful than her elder sister.-Lady

TO MAKE A TENNIS LUNCHEON.

For a tennis luncheon a very effective
centerpiece can be made of a pie of
sandwiches cut in the shape Of a racquet.
This can be done more easily than seems
possible at first thought. Cut a pattern
in cardboard the size desired. Make It
as long as the Slices Of bread are wide,
and then by turning 1t end for end two
sandwiches can be cut with very little
waste. OF course the two slices of bread
should be cut, buttered and pressed firmly
together before being cut into the shape
of the racquet. Then press baby olive
firmly into the middle of the large end
and there you have clever representa-
tion Of racquet and bail, as good to look
AT as to eat.
Waters can also be made in this shape
very easily. Any tinsmith will bend a
piece Of tin into the desired shape and
solder on a handle. With knife lines can
be cut very quickly to represent the
network part OF the racquet. and an al
mond or fisbert can do duty for the ball;
or the network may be made by lines
Of frosting after the wafer is baked, ana
bit Of candy represent the bail. The
ices may be served ais pile OF balls also,
with few candy raquets

QUEEN vIcToRIA's GENTLENEss.

When the queen was young girl one
of her Chief characteristics was a GER
tain imperiousness of disposition. Her
word was law, and as a distinguished
officer whom 1 must not name, once de-
clared on leaving her after an official
interview, "the queen did love to be mis-
tress." 1t is a most lovable trait in her
majesty's nature that with increasing
years a mildness of manner and most
consderate thoughtfu,ness for others
have superseded the austerity of her
younger days. She is, indeed, more in
clined to err on the side of indulgence
than of sternness. Have it your own
way, dear" she will say in a grand
motheny discussion with one of the Bat
tenberg babies. With her personal at
tendants the queen is equally gentle.
The queen never by any chance shows
haughtiness to a dependent. Not long ago
an Irish nurse, in charge of some little
friends of the Duke of ConnauSht's chill
dren went to tea (nursery tea of course)
at Osborne The Irish nurse Ga most
naive creature. when the queen unex-
pected.y entered the nursery, went down
on her knees, astec making a profound
courtesy, and when her majesty very
nicely addressed various Questions to her.
replied grandiloquently Eyes, o, Queen,
No, O. Queen" and commenced giving
her a long account of her home and
relatives in ireland. The. queen was pos
itively convulsed with laughter, which,
turning away, she tried in vain to hide.
Her sense of humor is ait times keen.
Once in a crowd, a poor man, gazing
at her and Prince Albert as they\passed
by, began to laugh irresistab,y; but there
was no sort of offense in the laughter.
The queen Joined in, declaring she could
not hep herself. The more her humble
subject laughed the more she enjoyed
the fun, and wonders to this day what
was the secret of her merriment-Lady

NEW HAT. FASTENER.

Among the minor and most necessary
details for the seaside or travelling ward
robe there is one small article which
certainly must not be forgotten. This is
a novelty-Hinde's Slide Attache, the
newest hat fastener. 1t does its work so
efficiently that we ought no longer to see
ladies on the pier, the cliff, and the beach
clutching at their hats to keep them on
their heads. There is nothin awkward
nor heavy in the simple yet ingenious
contrivance. 1t is small comb of
rounded wire, each prong pyr-pointed,
so that it cannot possibly prick the
scalp. The prongs slide through DELI
cate little socket. which is sown 10 the
hat, to the edge of the crown where it
joins the brim, and they pass through the
hair, holding the hat firmly in its place.
because the prongs spread as they emerge
from the socket, and increase their hold
by so doing, without in any way dis
tressing the head. The price is four
pence each.-The Housewife.

toned the blue-eyed bride as they stood
together by the sea at Brighton the week
after their wedding. Esther is so much
pretter, so much loveier than me. Every
one likes Esther better than they do me.
And do you know, darling, 1 half think
that Esther was just little disappointed
that you didn't prefer her?'
''Do you think so?' said Paul, careless
ly. 1--WE can scarcely account for our
preferences. Esther is very brilliant and
beautiful and when first we became ac-
quainted, L was fairly bewitched by her.

Like twilight, too her dusky hair,
But all else about her drawn
From Maytime and the cheerful dawn

] saw her upon nearer view
A spirit, yet a woman, too;
Her household motions light and Free
And steps of virgin liberty;
A countenance in which did meet
Sweet records, promises as sweet;
A creature not too bright or good
For human natures daily food
For transient sorrows, simple wiles,
Praise, b,ame, love, kisses, tears anC

And now / see with eye serene
The very pulse of the machine;
A being breathing thoughtful breath,
A traveller betwixt fife and death;
The reason firm, the temperate will,

To warn, to comfort and command,
And yet spirit still and bright,
With something of an angel light.

DRUG FADs.
Tie Camphor Habit More Prevalent
Then Generally Known.


st. Louis Globe-D Democrat.
The discovery on the streets Thursday
of a woman unconscious from the effects
of an overinduigence in camphor has
brought to light the fact that the habit,
while a strange one, is by no means a
rarity in ST. Louis. A number Of druggists
and physicians who were seen yesterday
testified to this effect. Camphor-eating
is not as pronounced an evil as the ex-
cessive use OF some other drugs, but II
is nevertheless an existent evil.
"Onty last week." said Dr. Fernow, or
Fernows pharmacy, "a woman called
here and said: Please give me a dose
of camphor' She didn't say what she
wanted 1t for. 1 offered to give It in solu-
tion or in any p1latable form possible
However, she insisted on the ordinary
gum camphor, and she got rid of chunk
OF it that surprised me- Why she ex-
claimed, 4 take It that way all the
time"
At Judge & Dolph's pharmacy a gen.
t,eman stated many people carry lump
OF camphor about in their pockets, and
take a bite at 1t at frequent Intervals"
Camphor is supposed to have a sedatiye
effect, but that depends largely upon the
quantity taken and the mode in which It
is taken. Essence of camphor consists
largely Of alcohol, and its effects woul1
