Carte Blanche For Dinner.

He is statesman who has not yet won
national recognition, but he will be found
at the south end of the capitol this time
next year doing all he can to make start
that way He is a man of large means
and believes that wealth producing brains
are the only kind worth mentioning. In
asmuch as he began business with nothing
and had 81, 1000, 900 by the time he was 40,
it is fair to suppose he had q barrel Of
brains.
Two nights ago he wanted to dine few
friends of his in regal splendor, and, sus-
pecting that Washington hotel dinner,
unless it is prepared for the occasion, is
not of the regal splendor variety, he called
on the hotel clerk to confer with him. He
told him what kind of dinner he want
ed, and then he proceeded to enumerate
all the details, just as people of that kind
always do, mostly on the supposition that
they know more than anybody else does.
The clerk listened for some time to all the
little details. and then he broke in.
"My dear sir, he said in the insinuat-
ing manner of the hotel clerk, "may I
have carte blanche?'
Tho statesman staggered a moment.
eOf course, of course, % he assented Wig
orously, "you can have anything you
please if it's fit to eat, but I'm kind Of
'fraid of some Of these Frenchified ixin's.
What want is good dinner"
And he got it. Washington Star.

TO buy fives, and they don't like to give
away the secret Of the real size of their
understandings.
A word to these ladies. If you get neat
round toed shoes and wear rather largo and
thick leggings or CATERS, the feet will look
at least two sizes smaller than they really
are; SO that need no longer hinder wearing
shorter dresses when common sense, as
we'll as common decency, teaches us that
they are best.
may as well describe one of these walk
ing suits 1t is OF dark, deep blue cheviot
of narrow vale The skirt reaches to the
top of the boots and has four rows of tailor
stitching in black saddler's silk abost
foot from the bottom. There were two
pockets in front, with stitched pocket flies.
There was REFER. coat, with pockets and
wide fur collar. 4 little stitching crossed
the bust in form Of yoke. The REFER
was lined inside with red plush.
In direct contrast to that was another
dress-this of dark gray cloth. TWAS made
with skirt touching the ground all
around, which made it necessary for the
wearer to waste her strength holding it up
off the ground. The waist was in blouse
design, with round silver buttons along
the straps and also down the sides as fin
ish for two long points of velvet in dark
er shade. There was very short plated
and braided cape. Another walking dress,
while very handsome, was still open to the
came objection as to length. This was
nade of prune drap d'ete, handsomely en-
broidered in shaded silks. Around the
Bottom was a wide band of Bordeaux vel
get, bordered with narrow band of grebe.
She basque was of the velvet, trimmed
svith narrow rolls Of grebe. The figaro and
eleeves were of the drap Pete, and both
were embroidered and bound with grebe.
1t made a superb costume; but, as no
woman is blessed with more than two
Hands, it requires giants strength to
hold up the heavy folds. Talk about a
a7oman's weakness, I'd like to see the man
that could walk the street all day holding
his overcoat behind him with one hand

You may sing in praise of woman, from her
head unto her feet;
You may say she is vision that is more than
passing sweet;
You may speak of her attractions, her allure
Inents and her whims
And the sunshine of her graces that no shadow
ever dins,
But you fondly must acknowledge while your
soul in triumph crows
That woman's browning glory is her bargain
counter nose.
Just observe her in the morning, when the pa
per up she takes,
When she sugars all the fshballs and puts
mustard on the cakes,
T through the mad preoccupation of her read
ing all aglcw
Of the sacrificial shirt waist and bonnet don't
you know,
And it's certain by the glances she upon the
sheet bestows
That woman S browning glory is her bargain
counter nose.
There's CLEAN of exultation in her wild d.
lated orbs
When she conjures up the beauties of the ads.
that she absorbs.
She's delirious with rapture to her inner soul,
and that's
A kaleidoscope of stockings and holocaust OF
hats
And with symphonies of ribbons all her spirit
overfiows.
For woman's browning glory is her bargain
counter nose.
You may rave about her presence and her car
Fiage SO superb;
You may say that like butterfly, she drifts
from curb to curb;
You may carol Of her counsel and her influence
SO sweet,
And the light and airy music Of the patter Of
her feet
But you'll have to still acknowledge, though
in action or repose,
That woman browning glory is her bargain

The present shah of Persia assembled the
throne in 1896, directly after the assassina-
ton of his father. The kingdom of Persia
was founded by Cyrus the Great, who
reioned from B. C. $50 to b. c. 500. From
his accession to the present time there have
been four greet dynasties, which, with
their collateral branches, have ruled the
country during the intervening time. In
all Persia has had about 11S kings-Fer-
eian. Tartar, Greek and Mogul.
