another long exposure in the cold palace

A pretty act of kindness on the part
of the dowager empress took place the
other day in hospital at Potsdam and
is told in an English paper by an eye
witness. A patient was at deaths door,
and his wife had been hurriedly sum-
moned. With her baby in her arms she
was walking up and down the waiting
room close to the ward in which her
husband lay
The empress happened to pay one Of
her frequent visits to the hospital, and
seeing the poor woman in her bitter sor-
row she approached to ask some sympa-
thetio questions
"Yes, he is dying" the wife sobbed,
land he wants to say so much to me
about how l am to manage when he is
gone and how the children are to be
brought up, but baby is not we'll and
cries, and he is so weak he can't bear it,
and he may die at any moment. "
In an instant the empress had taken
the infant into her arms, and while for
q whole hour the mother sat by the side
of her dying husband her majesty
nursed the child, walking up and down
the room with it and soothing 1t with
motherly tenderness.

Dressing the Neck.

Ribbons, laces and chiffon are all used
for dressing the necks of bodices that are
to be worn in the evening, writes Isabel
A. Mallon in The Ladies' Home Jour-
nal The very many beautiful ones de-
veloped in satin and silk often depend
ON the neck dressing for the decoration,
and so care is taken to choose pretty de-
signs in collars, whether the bodice be
high or low. A rose pink bodice Of satin
Is cut out to form very short V, mere
ly exposing the throat. With this Is
worn full cape Of white lace that Is
caught up on the shoulder under two
rosettes Of white satin ribbon, and then
is not full, but turned in in bias line so
as to form what seem revers Of lace from
the V outline. This is caught little
lower down under rosette like those on
the shoulder.
Another pretty decoration, which may
be worn with light green silk bodice,
with velvet sleeves Of the same color, is
Of broad white satin ribbcn, folded soft
ly and caught at each side with rosettes
Of yellow lace. The bib is Of lace reach
ing almost to the waist line and gather
ed on very full Over this is a straight
deep fringe, very close and coming quite
to the edge of the lace, of creamy pearl
beads The effect Of this is very rich,
and the contrast between the beads and
the lace, as we'll as that with the pale
green of the bodice, is artistic enough
to delight the soul Of veritable student
In colors.

year ago at the great concert given as q
memorial of the late poet laureate A
couple of years ago the princess narrow
ly escaped being burned to death while
staying at Hesse- Darmstadt. She was
on visit at the time TO her brother-in-
law, Prince Louis of Battenburg, and
while there the beautiful palace of Hell
ligenberg caught fire at night, the flames
spreading with such rapidity that the
princess barely had time to save her
life, losing all her jewels and effects.
To the princess belongs the credit Of
reviving in the breast of her mother
the long dormant taste for theatrical en-
tertainments. In her youth Queen Vic
toria was frequently throughout the
London season to be seen at the various
theaters with her young husband, and
for the first Is years that followed her
marriage hardly missed a single operatio
event in the metropolis, showing not
only keen and intelligent appreciation
of both music and drama, but also a
very kindly feeling toward the artists.
After the death Of the prince oonsort, in
1861, the queen declined to hear any
longer Of anything connected with the
stage, and it was only with the utmost
difficulty that some ten years ago the
princess was able to induce her mother
to permit the organization Of some tab
leaux vivants at Osborne. This had the
effect Of paving the way to amateur the
atricals, of which the princess, notwith-
standing her strongly developed embon.
point, is inordinately fond, and from
amateur theatricals to performances CIV
en- by professionals was but another step.
Now the queen has again taken such a
liking to the drama that she actually
goes to the enormous expense Of having
entire metropolitan troops and their
scenery conveyed all the way from Lon
don to Balmoral, "a hours journey,
in order to provide her with an even-
ings entertainment. In spite Of her
stoutness, Princess Beatrice is far from
looking as good humored as her equally
fat sister, Princess Christian. Her face
usually wears troubled expression, and
this is attributed by thepeople who know
her to the difficulty which she expert
ences in keeping matters smooth be-
tween her by no means agreeable hus-
band and the latter imperious mother

In the interest of true art the old
style of lambrequin is no longer In
vogue. In place of it is long, soft dra-
perry, fastened to a window pole or fes-
tooned about it, and either falling in
straight voluminous foldings or looped
into graceful cascades. The heavily
carved cornice, with an embossed CEN
tral pediment, is no more to be seen
laden with accumulated dust of months
of sweepings.
The best way to arrange drapery is
the simplest. In the old style, stiff and
saloonlike, the fabric was cut and sewed
into shape on the table. Now it is
draped. If draped, it needs be directly
after the top is hung, SO that each win
dow is treated by itself. If the room be
high, the effect will be heightened by
arranging it in q series Of cascades or
jabots.
In O handsome parlor there are hung
first and close to the glass soft, delicate
lace curtains that reach only to the bot
tom of the sash. Next follow the French
festoon shades, generally Of pongee or
other light silks. These consist of four
longitudinal pufTings controlled by a
spring roller. Then come the festooned
long lace curtains, and lastly the silk
brocade velours or tapestry hangings
that are attached to the pole by puffs or
festoons and descend to the floor in ele-
CANT and graceful wavings. Household

Equal Rights of Parents.
In the Pennsylvania legislature bill
has been introduced to make mothers
and fathers equal in their rights of par
entage. 1t provides that married wom-
an who is the mother of minor child,
and who contributes by the fruits of her
own labor to its support and education,
shall have equal control and authority
over the child and equal right to its
custody and services as is now by law
possessed by its father. 1t also gives the
mother the same right as the father in the
appointment of q testamentary guard
ian of their child, privilege which is
now possessed by the father alone, and
If the appointment Of such guardians is
not conourred in by both parents it is
void and of no effect. In all cases the
mother shall have sole control Of the
child and the sole right to its custody
and services after the death Of the IA
ther. These provisions in the bill re-
quire that the mother Of a minor child
is qualified as fit and proper person to
have control and custody Of it. A num-
Der of Philadelphia ladies are working
to secure the passage Of this bill. 1t
ought to become law. Woman Jour-

Princess Beatrice, the youngest daugh-
ter of Queen Victoria, is undoubtedly
the favorite of all that sovereign's many
children and exercises the greatest in
fluence upon her mother, whose constant
companion she has been ever since the
death Of the prince consort. Not even
tho marriage of the princess has dimin-
ished the intimacy of the relations be-
tween mother and daughter, and when
ever her majesty travels the princess
occupies the same day and night saloon
carriages as her mother, her husband,
Prince Henry Of Battenburg, being rel
egated to another part of the train,
either with the children or with the
gentlemen in waiting.
Princess Beatrice has always been
known as the most accomplished musi-
clan Of the royal family. When quite
young, she developed wonderful gift
of reading difficult music at sight, and
this has been carefully cultivated. She
is also a most graceful composer and
has set music to various poems by Lord
Tennyson. These songs were heard o
