nETROVSKY Palace is charming
1 monument to the more picturesque side
OF Catharine the Greats character. 1t
was her villa without the walls Of Moscow.
where she could live her ease, surrounded
by her intinates, the Apraxins, the Volons-
kys, the Goiitsins, the Razumovs. She
would have no soldiers 10 guard her; she pre-
fcrred to rest under the protection OF 1cr
own people, and the people came crowding
about the palace, saying; Make no noise!
Do rot GistErb our little mother" She
loved the fields and woods OF Petrovsky,
well she might.
1t was in this neighborhood that she her.
self waited the approach Of her coronation,
sta ying in Count RaZumov's wonderful
villa. which so aStunishcd Lord Herbert
and William Cox in ITS. She had the
palace built 10 commemorate the Russian
victories over the Turks. and intrusted the
task TO native architect who knew how
TO adapt Gothic lines to Russian taste, and
to combine splendor with comfort. The
red walls. with their white stone facings
and round towers, seen anong the trees,
give delightful impression of elegant se-
cusion. Since Ca tharine's day all the En-
perors Of Russia have awaited the day Of
the triuinpha entry in the Pctrovsky Palace.

BERNHARDT'S NAY.

D ERNHARDT, who is yCrDeer at fifty
- five than she was at thirty-five, will
not exercise. ard hates fruit unless she
happens TO feel in a need for eating it, and
still she has a handscme head OF hair, and
this, the experts say is quite remarkable in
view of the fact that fruit and exercise
make beautiful hair. She makes her hair
glow winter ard summer by exposing 1t.
For several hours a day that hair bangs
down her back with the air blowing
through il ard the sun torchiDg It, Her
theory is that wherever the hairpins touch
the hair it will be dull and glcssless.
In the morning Nine. Bernbardt's locks
are scattered over Fer breakfast robe and
caught back only by the narrowcst OF nib
bcns that do not tie the hair. but only
tunfine it. Not until dressing for theeter
is her hair done up and this is for getting
In and out of her oarriage in street dress.
In most of Bernhardt's plays the heroine
wears unconfined locks, and here again
madam has a chance 10 carry out her
theory and to STOW the result OF il in the
magnifcen. gloss Of her long lcoks.

A Bicycle Hood.

One of the most ludiCrous OF new things
for bicycles is hood built by u Frenchman.
The frame is made of aluminium and the
rest of waterproof cloth Its entered by
Il door from the rear. and on either side there
are little windo VS. so that the rider can see
what Is going on about him. One would
think the bicycle riders in France would
know enough to 70 in when & rains. but 1t
seems that some OF them are SO fond of the
sport that they will not stop riding even
when the clements are against it.-Cht

In the decidedly changed version Tie
following list of articles were displayed
in an adjoining room where the company
could visit and inspect them as they

of these articles. Their answers Were
collected after being signed and read
alOud after supper, with the correct re-
plies tn the very catholic queries as they
had bcea most painstakingiy worked out
by the hostess beforehand.
Some OF the suggestions were very
amusing by reason of their lack OF Erac-
ticabiIity. AS. for instance, genius. time
and pains were all laboriously remembered
for the construction OF the painting in
one case, but neither eyesight nor paint,
There were. shouts of laughter over the
results. and u good deal of really useful
information called forth besides Spc-
cialists surprised their friends by their
minute Information, and it was rather
difficult to award the prizes fairly. as
there were so many points or excellence
in many of the different answers.
There was re ward ready for each Of
the twelve articles guessed on and each
