paid enough for collections of dustrags

temporary prettiness, and paid fol

the auction was shown in the charm

The biggest price for painting was
that paid for Meissonier's '1S14. q"
NJ. blanchard gave $4,000 for it.
The most costly building of modern
times is that of the New York state
capitol at Albany. Nineteen million
six hundred thousand dollars have
beer spent on it. In 1892 /. Malcolm
Forbes paid $3.50, 600 to Senator Stan
ford for the horse Arion, making it
the most valuable equine the world
has ever known. The most valuable
book in the world is a Hebrew Bible
now in the vatican. In 1912 Pope
Julius IL refused to sell it for its
weight in gold, which would amount
to about $685. 900. The Imperial"
diamond is considered the finest stone

Novel Busln ess Venture.

The latest departure in the line Of
business venture for gentlewomen is
that made by Mrs. Ledyard Stevens
who has opened in New York City the
Bureau OF Social Requirements.
Mrs Ledyard, who was the daughter
of DIR. Horace White, Of Madison
avenue, and is related, through her
mother, to the CHAMBERS and the Stuy-
vesants, is lady of long experience
in the social life of New York, who
proposes by means of this bureau to
meet q long-felb want, and she thus
announces that she is prepared to fur
nish all information on social matters,
the designing and management of all
entertainments, from q wedding to q
child's tea party, the ethics of card
usage, the posting OF visiting lists, the
dismantling or opening of town or
country houses, or that she will send
to ones house daily one Of a corps of
trained gentlewOmen to care for the
lamps, to clean the silver, arrange the
drawing-room or set the table; and the
bureaus announcement ends with the
welcome news that the polishing of
ladies and childrens shoes will be
carefully looked after by an expert
enced attendant" Another clever
woman, whose extreme good fortunes
have taken unto themselves wings,
has bravely met the stress by opening
shop where may be found the most
artistic and desirable of tea-gowns,
matinees, negligees and all of those
artistic house hipperies, which are
delight to the heart of feminin-
ity. The sight of u friends house
petticoat, with its rufle pieced direct
~ in the front, is said to have been the
means of pointing a way to this cour-
ageous women who was vaining trying
to take accounting of her talents to the
end that she might meet her needs.
The merit of her creations lies in the
simplicity of the designing and ma
terials, the exquisite attention to de-
tail and the appealing colors and com
binations of color used. And this
! gifted high priest of feminine belong
ings is so consistent in the carrying
out of her thought, that even the
boxes used to convey garment to its
destination partake of the color of the
dainty CONNECTION which its holds, and

Ever since spinning was a type of womanly
industry, from age to age it has been ex-

laundering Of pretty summer gowns, which is
now quite fine art To do the work properly,
