Tt used to be the correct thing when a
young woman was engaged to be married
to have a double picture frame in ner
boudOir, or bedroom, containing a photo
graph of her fiance and herself. Twenty
five years ago it was the fashion to have
your photograph taken with the young
man you were engaged to, and that was
placed on your dressing table. Now there
Is new fad. You must not of course,
be photographed with your fiance-that is
not considered good form. Nor must YOU
even have your picture in the same frame
with his. The new fad is to have a frame
holding four cabinet-slzed photographs,
and in this you must put four pictures of
your fance in different positions-one full
face one side face, one three-quarters face
and one profile. 1t Is rather an interest
ing idea as it is astonishing how changed
a persons expression is with the face in
different positions. One of these sets of
photographs was seen the other day on
a young girls writing desk, and it was
hard to believe that the profile and full
face were of the same man. This is one
of the latest fads for engaged men as well
as girls.

Miss Antoinette Crichton is a highly con-
nected society girl of Baltimore, who has
just embarked in the millinery business
in New York. Her father, Malcolm erich

closely related to the present head of the
family, Patrick Crichton, the Marquis of
Butte. The daughter, who has left society
for trade" is % years old.
Miss Antoinette. under the chaperonage
of Nine. Jerome Bonaparte, made her de-
but In Washington in 1893. In 1896 the
Crichtons went abroad and while in Italy
Miss Antoinette was presented TO Queen
Margherita. On her way home her broth
err William Crichton then first secretary
of the American legation in Brazil, took
her with him to Rio Janero, where she
made a social success.
On her return home she found her father
was dead and the family fortune greatly
impaired. She determined to strike out
for herself. She had been noted for her
exquisite taste in millinery and color ar

her to retouch the work of their milliners.
She recalled this talent and decided to be-
come milliner and is confident of the

Since so many modern artists have set
the seal of their approval upon red hair
women with auburn" tresses, instead of
being dissatisfied with their lots, are he
ginning to study how to use it becomingly,
and be proud of the distinction of having
it. There appears TO be an impression
among women with red hair that almost
any shade of blue can be worn by them,
because, as a usual thing, they have fair
and delicate complexions, but, as a mat
ter of fact, blue is the one color above all
others, that they ought to avoid The
contrast is too violent, and the combina-
ton is not harmonious
The shades most suitable to be worn
with red hair are bright, sunny brown
and all autumn leaf tints. After these l. ay
be selected pale or very dark green-but
never bright green, pale yellow and black
unmiXed with any other color. Mixed col
ors are not becoming to red-haired peo-
pie, as they nearly always give them a
more or less dowdy appearance. In fact,
red hair is usually so brilliant and de-
cided that it must be met on its own
ground, and no vague, undecided sort of
things should be worn with it.

An incident showing how compliment
is some times remembered is told of Ca
mile Flammarion, the noted French as
tronomer, in connection with his possess
sion of a remarkable souvenir. The souve-
mir came to him from a woman visitor to
his telescope, the circumstances being as
follows: One day, many ears ago. while
doing the honors of his observatory for
the benefit of some visitors, he CHANGED
when looking through a telescope, to no.
tice the dazzling fair shoulders of a lady
standing within his range. Removing his
gaze from the eyepiece, he paid an elabo-
rate and pretty compliment to the owner
of the shoulders in question, which was
received by her with a gratified smile.
A long period elapsed, and the incident
was forgotten by the astronomer, when, to
his establishment, he was Informed one
day that the lady having "shuffled off
this mortal coil" had, before doing So be-
queathed her skin TO him, with the request
that 1t might serve as a binding for one
of his books. Her request was complied
with, and a copy of Heaven and Earth
may now be seen on the scientists shelf,
elegantly bound, with pieces of the epder
mis- from her shoulders neatly let into the
sides.

JUDGE BROWN RATHER SURPRISED.

An unusual verdict was reported IN
the $50. 900 damage suit brought by 6.
Frazer a. Son, wooden manufacturers OF
Clinton. Mass, and coal dealers In East
Providence, late yesterday afternoon.
The Frazers own extensive wharf
property at Washington bridge in the
seekonk river. They claim that the
dock was filed up, and that a nuisance
was the result OF the sewerage system
I'm East Providence. The main trunk on
this sewer was run under the Frazer
property. and emptied in close proX-
imity To the business office OF the con-
cern. The jury heard the case for three
days and yesterday afternoon returned
a verdict for the defendant.
Foreman Dyer in announcing the 1hu-

A Plea Not Sustained.

~HOSE who are anxious to shield
General Alger from RESPONSE

agement of the war departments bust
ness go far astray when they urge
that allowance must be made for the
fact tina our volunteers were not Sea
soned soldiers" and hat among raw
recruits the voice OF complaint IL apt
tn BE- heard even when the conditions
do not warrant criticism.
h plea will not do. We a sea-
soned soldiers to begin with-men In
the regular army of the United States.
our volunteers were detained in large
numbers at Tampa. at Chickamauga
and In the Alger camps. The bulk OF
the army before Santiago was made up
Of regulars. The Rough Riders were
there. one regiment of volunteers from
Massachusetts, and one regiment from
New York. Otherwise. and. as We be-
lieve. without exception. the soldiers
who fought in front of Santiago were
regulars.
These were hardy men. accustomed to
camp life and to army fare. They
made up a splendid army. The suffer-
ing they endured was not due TO their
| inexperience or carelessness: many OF
them were shipped home half starved.
and they were otherwise treated like
cattle. after experiencing needless and
untold misery on the field Of battle.
Practically all OF the officers were
trained men. capable of looking after
those under their command. Yet these
regiments had to endure a needless loss
because the campaign was foolishiy
planned md because the troops were
improperly and insuficiently supplied.
The other day the Standard quoted
the dying testimony of Captain wor-
den. He was a West Point graduate:
his manhood years were spent In the
regular army. IF I die" he testified.
II want IL TO be know that l died OF
starvation" Indeed. the plea that the
troops at Santiago were raw volun-
teers who did not know how to take
care of themselves will not serve at
all. II is a false plea. The public
guessed nothing and 1t made no mis-
take when II laid the responsibility
upon Secretary Alger; that Is where II
belongs. And an unpleasant feature
OF the case is that 1t Is likely to appear
more and more clear that one Of Alger's
grossest blunders was the appointment
of Shafter for the campaign at San
tiago.

politics. ne was accused Of being up to
this thing. He vas openly denounced
for IL by republican agencies in Pennsyl-
vania politics: the Standard remarked
the other day that the Philadelphia
Press. of which Charles r. Smith, now
postmaster general is. inc then was.
the editor. said in so many words that.
By all that is good and just. Quay
ought to be in striped clothes and be-
1 prison bars.
Indeed. Quay's ugliest critics have.
almost uniformly. been republicans.
The best men In his own political
household rate him TO be a rascal. In
the present instance. the criminal COM
plant against Quay comes from the
states attorney in Pennsylvania. He's
a republican,: Quny's people hasten to
remark that he was a candidate for
another term but that Quay forbade
II. So. this states attorney went over
to the wanamaker faction which is
hghting Quay. In the name of reform.
Day after day. during recent weeks.
the campaign charges against Quay
have been an indictment for dishonesty.
as openly charged as Is the case in the
recent criminal proceedings.
Quay has not proceeded against any
Of these campaign orators whose print
ed remarks are malignant libel IL they
are no the truth. Quay himself seems
to be not at all disturbed by the re-
publican assertion that he is a public
thief. His organs simply attune them
selves to the sympathy racket and they
claim they'll gain votes In Pennsyl-
vania by making It appear that the re-
cent Indictment and arrest are a piece
of persecution.

MIR. Carriers Foul Talk.

a, ,HEN he started his stumping
\h/ tour In Miles City. last Tues
day night, Senator Carter got
of on the wrong foot. dragging in a
bit Of laundry rhetoric which was
neither original nor neat nor appro-
pirate. and which could not possibly
serve any purpose except to offend the
state.
Aiming TO compliment the Custer
county people because. as a conspicuous
exception. they have given goldbug
majorities at recent elections. Carter
remarked that the county is like a
diamond on a dirty shirt front"
There are men who might apply this
barnyard remark to Montana inc the
state would smart under the insult. AS
far as we are able to discover. however.
the people hereabout are not vigorously
resenting the fling; they consider Its
source.
The phrase Is one that Is Of proper
size and quality TO suit the mouth OF
some dirty loafer on a street corner I'm
Butte: the fortunate fact is that Mon
tana has reached a pass where II Is
Indifferent to Mr.. Carter's coarse char
ac~terization OF the local public.
This dirty-shirt observation will
keep. II will get into Its Sec
ond edition two years henee-it
will be remembered. The laundry
business then to be done will wash this
state of an offending political stain.
At that time the people OF Montana will
put this insulting g%oldbug's soiled rec
ord through the clothes wringer. and
there won't be enough OF his political
career left to hang out to dry.

No Heir to IL.

- n second thought and like a SEN
" sible young woman. Miss Lucy
Hill has concluded she will not
attempt to be the successor of the late
Miss Winnie Davis in the role OF
daughter Of the confederacy." For
that matter. II may have been less a
matter OF consent than OF compulsion
with Miss Hill. She became a candi-
date for the title as soon as the death
of Miss Davis was announced. Many
millions of people in this country were
Indifferent, but sharp criticism came
from the South; several OF the veteran
confederate leaders spoke right up
about II. and they made no bones Of
saying what was on their minds.
One Of these was Gen. John B. Cor
don. He said that Miss HIS claim
was impertinent. I'm the very nature
of the case" said General Gordon. mo
one except Miss Winnie Davis is en-
titled to be called the daughter of the
confederacy.' That title was unique
and peculiarly her own and is very
properly to be placed upon her tomb.
To designate any one else by that title
would be almost sacrilege."
This opinion was widely quoted, and
there was no mistaking h manifes-
tations of approval of 1t. The fact
was pointed out that Miss Davis was
the only daughter OF the only president
OF the confederacy. a child born in the
confederate white house, and the con-
slant companion OF the most conspic-
uous survivor of the downfall. The
title she wore was well enough. The
South Is Jealous OF II. and as the years
multiply that remove us from the real
tiles of the civil war those who were
h be merely a memory.
