Mrs. A M. Thackara, wife of the United

1t was during Mrs. Fitch's girlisll days
that the Grand Duke Alexis of Russia
visited Washington and was made the
hero Of several imposing functions given
by the Russian minister and Madame
de CatacaZy, among them a ball to
which, of course, Miss Sherman was in
vited. She was an exceedingly pretty
girl with fresh complexion and wonder
ful Titan bronze hair and naturally
enough the duke selected her for his
first partner. Miss Sherman danced the
opening quadrille with his highness and
another later on. Then the story went
he requested that she would honor him
with waltz, whereupon she politely re-
fused. Madame de Ca;acazy, who was
standing near, asked her, laughingly in
behalf of her guest, to reconsider her de-
cision, but Miss Sherman in the incest,
friendliest way, but with the blunt
directness characteristic of her father
said she was sorry TO seem disobliging,
but that she never danced round dances
with gentlemen. The minister's wife
looked as il exceptions to all rules ought
TO be made in favor of a possible Car,
but the Duke Alexis was so captivated
by the young lady's refusal to discrim-
mate that, in speaking of the incident
afterwards to Madame de Catacazy. he
said enthusiastically: "Ah, but / admire

Stylish Plaid Waist.


No wash material can berelied upon
to do better service than genuine
Scotch gingham. The stylish waist
illustrated in the large engraving is
made OF plaid, which has ground of
deep cream that borders on tan color,
with lines of white and green. With it
are worn both tie and belt OF black,
which accentuate the truly artistic
coloring.
The yoke is three-pointed, and ex-
tends we'll over the shoulders onto the
fronts. The back portion of the waist
proper is laid in fat pleats at the CEN
tire of the yoke and drawn down to the
waistline. The fronts are amply full
and show the slightest possible pouch.
Both the upper and lower edges are
arranged in gathers, the fulness of the
former being stitched to the neck band
and yoke, while the latter are drawn
toward the front and stitched to the
band. Smooth under arm cores sepa-
rate them from the back and aid in the
fitting. The closing is effected by
buttons and buttonholes. The sleeves
are small, after the seasons style, but
cut after the regulation shirt pattern.
At the wrists are straight cuffs, with
rounded points, and at the neck is u
high standing collar.
To make this waist for woman of
the medium size will require three and
one-fourth yards of the thirty six-inch
material.

some large stones, he built a barrier
around it to prevent it's escape, and
after hard work succeeded in landing
it. the fish was German carp and
weighed seventeen and three quarters

NERVOUS DEPRESSION.
"a TALK WITH h. IS. PINKHAM.l !

A woman with the blues is very un-
comfortable person. She is illogical,
unhappy and frequently hysterical.
The condition of the mind known as
the blues" nearly always, with wo-
men, results from diseased organs of
generation.
1t is a source of wonder that in this
age of advanced medical science, any
person should still believe that mere
force of will and determination will
overcome depressed spirits and nerv-
BUSINESS in women. These troubles are
indications of disease.
Every woman who doesn't under.
stand her condition should write to
Lynn, Mass, to Mrs. Pinkham for her
advice. Her advice is thorough com.
mon sense. and is the counsel of
learned woman of great experience.

Household Hints.


Old white Holland curtains, with the
stiffening boiled out, make excellent
dishcloths.
Boiled ham wrapped in buttered
paper and baked for an hour is great
ly improved.
A piece of cloth dipped in spirits of
wine and rubbed upon soiled leather
will remove every spot on it.
In making any orange desserts, they
will be found much improved in flavor
If some of the grated peel is used.
Gut flowers can be tinted almost any
desired color by means of aniline
dyes, which are absorbed with the
water.
A grained sugar is better in pud-
aings, sauces and in all sweet pud-
1ings and spongelike desserts, which
depend on eggs to make them light.
AS clothes are apt to mildew in
damp weather, it is well to know that
1t can be easily removed by rubbing
little soap on the garment and then q
little salt and starch; rub all we'll into
the article, and lay in the sun.
Don't put slovenly looking dishes
on the table. Carefully rub from the
edges all signs of sloppy filing, and
above all things be sure that the but
ter dish is freshly filled at each meal.
Little things like this show the care
full housekeeper.
In new bread and pastry mould
ing board the top is covered with .
sheathing of thin sheet metal, with a
curved bead around three sides and q
headpiece at the back, which has a
spring clip under which the rolling
pin slides when not in use.
Much has been said from time to
time about the unhygienic qualities of
heavy skirts, but a delicate woman
who has been experimenting finds
that wearing light skirt will keep
her from many minor ills not usually
attributed to wearing apparel.
