BARONESS MUMM Won sCHwARZENsTEIN.
in Washington under the chaperonage
of her cousin, Baroness A. B. Won Oren-
dorf, she attracted attention and admi-
ration by her height and her exquisite
fairness, which she inherts from her
father, q member of a fine old Danish
family.
Miss LIE Vinsen always wore pretty
miniature of her great grandmother.
Mrs. Cornelius Roosevelt, who many
years ago was famous New York
beauty, and, though very we'll provided
for in worldly goods, Miss LIE Vinsen
never enjoyed reputation as an heir
ess. This seems, however, to have had
no effect upon the ardor or ambition OF
Baron Wilhelm of Frankfort, for Oh her
return to Germany in the spring Miss
lie Vinsen s engagement to this rich
and fashionable parsonage was an
nounced.
The fates have smiled on this inter
national alliance, for the baron is
young, good looking and one of the rich
men Of Germany. He possesses a mar
velously fine house in the old city where
Goethe was born, and his wife is more
than usually well equipped for her ex-
allied position in a foreign land. Ger
man is quite as familiar a language to
her as English, and in Germany she re-
ceived her musical education. Her voice
is an admirable soprano, and i'll addi-
ton che plays on the piano and violin
with more than amateur skill. An ex-
cellent linguist and capable horse
woman. and her list of accomplishments
is complete, and these, added to her
beauty and sweet disposition, seem a
combination of happy conditions that
Uncle Sam will not soon improve upon
when he again bestows fine wife ON
some Of his foreign cousins. Chicago

PLAYING AT WAR.

The little folks are playing war;
They're in the garden closes,
In bright brigades, with shiny blades,
And storming forts with roses,
We care not which side wins, you know,
We love the little armies sol
From left to right, with flags OF white,
They muster to the drum:
Their ourls stream golden in the fight
The eonquering heroes comet
And love shall crown, no way but this,
Victor and vanquished, with kiss
They speed DER mimic ford and glen
On little painted nags
The rose sweet captains cheer the men
Who rally round the flagsl
They march on fairy towns in state
And all our hearts capitulate.
Not far away from loves dear eyes
Shall these brave armies roam,
For when in song the daylight dies
We'll call the soldiers home,
And love, where every white tent CLEANS
Shall kiss the soldiers in their dreams

The Woman About Town" tells in
the Washington Post of a singular mis-
adventure which recently befell Wash
ington girl who has been living in Bal
timore since her marriage last Novem-
Der. She lives in an apartment house
over there, and one day last May a de-
Gently dressed man rang the janitor' 8
bell and informed the janitor's wife
that he had come to get Mrs and
SOS sewing machine. Mrs. So-and so
had gone over to Washington for day
or two, and the janitor's wife was aware
that she had just bought new sewing
machine. 1t was the very best make, of
course-everybody's sewing machine
and erybody's bicycle always is-but
as the janitor's wife's machine was of
another kind she thought itnot unlike
ly that Mrs. So-and-so had realized her
mistake and desired to exchange the
machine. So she unlocked Mrs. So-and-
SOS door and assisted the man to push
the machine to the freight elevator
His wagon vas waiting outside, and he
drove away, Nobody ever heard Of him
nor of the sewing machine again, but
the janitor's wife, poor woman, ism t
nearly done hearing Mrs. So-and- so S
opinion of her yet.

Visiting cards should be white, I'M
glazed and thin. The name should be
engraved in fine, perfectly plain script
When the address is used, it occupies
the lower left hand corner, and when
the reception day is also placed upon
the card its position is directly opposite
A married woman uses her husband S
full name or initials (never an honorary
rank or title) prefixed by Mrs, thus,
Mrs. Charles Epps Blank or Mrs. Q. e.
Blank. Directly after marriage a card
engraved with the name of husband and
wife is frequently used, as Mr.. and
Mrs. Charles Epps Blank and this card
is also much employed in sending gifts,
messages of oongratulation or condo
lence.
When a household consists of one,
two or more young daughters about to
enter society, the name OF the debutante
is engraved on her mothers cards
Later, when another sister enters the
arena Of society and fashion the elder
girl may have separate card, whiis
the name Of the younger member ap-
pears upon the mothers visiting card.
When both girls are very young, fashion
oecrees and custom sanctions both
names upon the mothers card. An I'M
married woman has her visiting cards
engraved with her name and surname.
No abbreviation or peryersion Of the
Christian name should be countenanced,
prefixed by Miss, thus, Miss Ethel
Blank. There are some exceptions to
this form--when for instance, there
are several daughters. the eldest IS ner-
mitted TO dispense with her Christina
name, and have her cards engraved Miss
Blank, or. when there is an only daugh-
ter, the same rule applies
A widows cards are bordered with

bands death, using his initial, or it
may have her own name, as, Mrs. Jo-

ally followed, as legally there is no

WILL BE AN INCREASE
MUNICIPAL TAX LEVY LIKELY TO
TAKE A BIG JUMP.
Time Fast Approaching when Some
body Must Pay for This "Bus-
mess Administration"

It is stated in the offices of the city gov
eminent that the 6O-cent tax levy has
proved itself entirely insufficient and it will
be necessary, when the next appropriations
are made, to increase it, possibly to 100
cents. This point is made by men who have
interested themselves in the matter enough
to calculate estimates of expense and in
come of the city. Next year the repairs on
improved streets on which the guarantees
have expired will cost at least $4,000 Inc
income from the vehicle tax, which must
be applied to this sort of thing, will amount
to within $4,000 of the expense 1t has been
necessary to cut the salaries of the firemen
one-seventh in order to meet the deficiency
of LOCO which would have occurred at the
end of the year If the cut had not been
made. The police department salary appro-
priation will run short 1900 by the end of
the year, unless the method, which will be
pursued, of not filling the vacancies which
may occur before the end of the year sue
ceeds in eliminating the deficiency. Both

department and in that of the police depart

THE present administration" said one
city official, will not, If it can help it, in

1t is the opinion of some of us that the wise
thing to do, politically, is to ask the next
Legislature to pass law allowing cities of
