The Russian Society Woman

A Russian society woman knows
only one thing-fashion. Art is a
stranger to her. She loves admira-
iion and Irritation, but her heart re-
mains cold, though she may be burn
ing other hearts with the fire of her
eyes. Nowhere is woman more dan
gerous than in Russian society. To
begin, Russian girl seeks husband
only for the position he gives her.
Matrimony is only question of fash
ion, and ii Russian girl cannot find
a husband within reasonable time
she can fill no place in good society,
and she is ridiculed by all her ac-
quaintances; thus, she watches with
agony the approach OF the end of her
youth. Every tentative is thus made
to win the grand prize of matrimony.
Even her friends are as anxious as she
is, and as fearsome lest she become
an old maid. Then, when all efforts
have failed, when no more hope re-
mains, she takes advantage of the sole
remedy left to her, ''maiden wild
owhood." She travels. She goes to
Paris and Nice. She stays away three
or four years, maybe, then returns to
Russian society, no longer an old
maid, nor even o wife, but a widow.
Nobody asks whom she married, nor
how she became q widow. She is a
widow; that suffices. And as q widow
she is received everywhere and is
somebody. Chicago Times-Herald.

Civilization while you wait would be
an appropriate motto for the prison
stockade at Camp Long. The camp is
on Seavey's Island, part of the Navy
Yard, which on the map appears IN
Kittery, Me. and on official documents
at Portsmouth, in New Hampshire.
Two days before the st. Louis
steamed into the harbor with 692
Spanish prisoners of war on board the
camp ground was not much better than
q desert. This end of the island is
bound with rocks which stick up
through the blueberry bushes and
scrubby grass on knolls and hillsides.
Within thirty-six hours from the ar
rival of the st. Louis in the lower har-
Dor the village had been equipped
with all the creature comforts de-
manded by free born American citi-
zen.
The landing of the Spaniards was
without ceremony or display. Two
black, fatiron shaped barges were
brought up, one after the other, from
the big liner, about mile away, and
made fast to Lieutenant Greely's land
ing place, ut the foot Of old Fort Sulli-
van, now used as a reservoir. There
were few workmen and few ladies
and children from the post on the
shore, and Gordon of pleasure boats
on the water, but no official demon
stration of any sort. There was not
an officer, nor even marine, i'll sight,
and no indications that the island was
garrisoned.
On the first barge Lieutenant Cat
lin, a survivor of the Maine disaster,
brought with him Captain Moreu, of
the Cristobal Colon, to act as interpre-
ter, and about q dozen American ma
rines to take care Of bootload of four
hundred Spanish prisoners of war.
Lieutenant Catlin had navy revolver
in his belt instead of sword, but
went at his work without any fuss OF
feathers. When six marines had
scrambled ashore and were strung
along the bank, the gangway was
opened to the prisoners, who went off
the barge in an irregular struggling.
They were defeated and shipwrecked

pear uneven and jagged. Nuts should
never be cracked with the teeth. This
is ruinous to the enamel. Tooth
brushes should be replaced often, and
in the meantime must be treated to
bath of ammonia and soap suds.
There should be several kinds of
brushes ON the toilet at once, since to
cleanse the back teeth thoroughly n
curved brush is necessary. After
every meal the teeth should be
brushed. The bristles need not be
stiif, or there is danger of cracking
the priceless enamel. This can never
be replaced. Science can only give
new teeth, not rebuild enamel that so
many people stupidity allow to be de-
stroyed.

Of washable material. The white rucho
in the bonnet belongs distinctively to
the widows weeds, and should never
be worn by woman who is wearing
mourning for any other but . her de-
ceased husband; but when 0Ace taken
off the ruche should never be put ON

Allow the band Of black on your
stationery and cards to correspond in
width to the degree of mourning habi-
liments. The extreme widths are in
any case vulgar and ostentatious. If
you attend the theatre or any place OF
public amusement while you are in
mourning and that is yosir preroga-
tive-never wear mourning veil.
Either go bare headed or wear fancy
bonnet made of mourning materials.
Women sometimes make the error Of
wearing long Grape wells at the theatre
and other similar places. When you
feel you wish TO dispense with mourn
ing, be guarded, aud let its retirement

quiet costumes.

Admiral Cervera would be taken for
an English merchant by ninety mine
out of a hundred persons who didn't
know who he was. He is prosperous
looking, well-made, and wears gray
beard. His son, Lieutenant Angel
Cervera, is tall and handsome, and
wears q coal-black beard. Altogether,
the Spaniards are quite distin-
guished-looking group, and when
they are fitted out in appropriate gar
ments will doubtless make much
social progress in Annapolis, as nearly
all of them have given orders for

should be permitted to give their
word as we'll as the Admiral, is as
follows:
ST do pledge my word of honor
that during the period of my retention
at the United States Naval Academy
as prisoner of war I will not go be-
yond such limits as may be pre-
scribed by the Superintendent of the
Naval Academy, and freely agree to
abide by such regulations as said
Superintendent may from time to
time establish.

o'clock until sundown."

The stylish sailor hats are of rough
straw, natural color, with an extern
sion top. An inch width of the braid
stands up around the edge of the top
of the crown, giving the hat something
of the height of the seasons trimmed
millinery. 1t is bought by those who
cannot abide entirely plain head cov-
ering. In "saiors" there is much OPP
portunity for individual taste in
choice. Fashion approves the sort
with low crown, narrow brim, one
colored hat band. She favors the me-
dium brim and crown of finer straw,
and the sailor of Manila, with loose
band Of ribbons in half dozen har-
monizing tones, and quills in one or
two more. One recently noticed had
trimmings of navy blue and grass
green wide taffeta ribbon, put on care
lessly, then twisted into big knot on
the left side, from which sprang three
high, wood colored frills. Women by
no means confine themselves to sail
ors with shirt waists. Many think
that rather elegant hat takes away
the inevitably negligee appearance of
a wash blouse. e.-New York Press.

are no general cooking provisions
made for the men, each one looking
after the preparation of his own ra-
tions.
1t is gratifying to note that the sub.
ject of caring for the dead and
wounded has received great deal OF
attention at the hands of army and
navy inventors. A large variety of,
devices was shown, having for their
object the care and comfort Of the

it is an intensely interesting bit of the

such remarkable powers that they can

Fashion Notes.

A yellow straw hat trimmed in black
may be worn with dress of any
kind.
Guipure and similar heavy cream
laces are much used for the all-popu-
lar yokes.
Not foulards and Indias only, but
surah also is promised great popularity
for the warm months.
Inexpensive ornaments are small
steel or rhinestone buckles, or large
buttons initiating jewels.
Black gloves would not be as dressy
as white to wear with q costume Of
black, yellow and heliotrope.
Sashes make important features Of
the seasons gowns. Ribbon, silk,
mousseline and the material itself are
all in use.
The newest skirts fare ont sharply
around the feet. The general effect
seems to be modelled on the plan Of
an ordinary feather duster.
Violets are worn with dark blue aud
every other color, as are flowers of the
burnt orange shades; no one flower
can be said to predominant.
The patriotic bangle is band Of
red, white and blue enameled silver,
hung with charms in the shape of can
mons, flags and tiny men-of-war.
White wells OF circular shape, with
patterned border, are very popular,
and something still more pronounced
is rose colored net spotted with
white chenille.
In neckwear white tulle bows are
almost invariably worn; feather boas
are also popular at present. They are
of light fawn color or white, and
reach to the waist.
Piques and welts, ornamented with
irregular designs, are much in vogue
for seaside wear abroad. American
mills have produced goods of this kind
equal, ii not superior, to those inn
ported.
Lace will be worn for hat wells,
while for toques and capotes tulle
will have the preference. In lace vsils
blue will be the choice shade, but
cream, black and white will still be
popular.
The craze for deep yellows and
orange bids fair to run to extremes.
Like many another good thing. the
deep, rich colors are delightful used
in bits, but become oppressive and
overwhelming en- masse.
Bangles for the athletic girl are
made of fine silver fishing pole,> Of
golf clubs bent to form circle, Of
ropes with an anchor clasp, and even
in the shape of bicycle tires and ton
mis- rackets with elongated handles.
Sleeves are decidedly smaller. Those
in blazer jacket Of pique must follow
suit, though they must be sufficiently
large to pass over silk or cotton

A marked feature at Lakewood, New
Jersey, during the early fashionable
season was the short skirt used by
women for walking and all general
out-of-door wear. The short skirt
was not confined to bicycle riders or
tennis and golf players. In the streets
of the town, along its promenades or
in the parks and woods one met every
where smartly dressed women wear
ing this convenient and comfortable
walking skirt. Its vogue was so great
as to show something more than
particular preference for neatness and
convenience in walking.
The skirt most worn was somewhat
longer than the bicycle skirt. ! It
comes just below the shoe tops, clear
ing the ground by about four inches.
1t hangs in even folds and is of me-
dium width. Many such skirts are not
bound on the bottom, but faced with
wide piece of the dress material,
and finished with many rows Of ma
chine stitching. The skirts are of
cloth or of mixed cheviots of dark
shades. A very smart costume in
clnded such skirt of gray cheviot,
with scarlet jacket Of smooth-faced
cloth, plain linen collar with tie, and
gray felt hat of round soft shape.
For sea side and mountain wear by
visitors, or for travelling, or for gen.
eral wear in the country by those who
are much out-of-doors and OH foot,
these short skirts are valuable. They
have always been comfortable and con-
venient; but to preach common sense
on the subject to those who follow
style more than their own ideas Of
what is proper is usually time and
breath wasted.
But if the use of the short skirts
has been stamped with the approval
of fashionable society people their use
is likely to increase this season, and
it would be wise plan for every
woman who wishes to do what is cor
rect in such matters to see to it that
well made short walking skirt is
among the necessary articles provided
for her summer outfit. fit.-Harper's
