n Great FavOrite.


From the Boston Transcript.
A woman In the audience of the Castle
Square Theater yesterday afternoon had
the tenerity to defy the law. She was OBJ
stinate, and the law took Its course. this
being the first time that the ordinance re-
lating to high hats in theaters was tested
She occupied a seat in the third row of the
first balcony. and her hat was large enough
to obstruct the view of two women behind
her. The latter asked the woman to re-
move the Objectionable headgear. but the
request was not complied with. Complaint
was made to an usher, who handed 10 the
woman the usual card She read 1t, but
made nc move 10 remove her hat, and the
usher respectfully asked her If she had
read it, She replied in the affirmative, but
said nothing more. The head usher was
called. repeated the request several times.
and finally remarked that he would be
Obliged to call upon the police. The hat
wearer apparently was determined, for she
replied that she did not care.
AT this point the matter had developed
into test case. aid If the hat was not re-
moved the theater would have been liable
for violation of the ordinance. The
woman obdurate and Policeman Lewis
was called. He told the woman that she

must remove her hat. She refused. He
told her she might change her seat or that
the management would refund her money
Sne refused to do either, and told the DO
hceman that he would have to drag her
out II he took her out at all. The police
man was patient, but as the woman would
not accept any of the alternatives he got
ready for action. The people sitting in the
aisle seats were requested to step into the
aisle, and the policeman stepped forward
prepared to use force. The woman weak
ened. however, and went out in front of
the policeman. After telling the manager
OF the theater what she thought of the
whole matter, she accepted the twenty-five
cents she had paid for a seat and left the
theater.
The regulation relating to the covering
OF the head in places of amusement was
passed by the board of aldermen on MAY

ment' In the second line the words. nor

such skirts couldn't "hang we'll" Good
dressmakers can make them hang well,
and the first one the Average Woman tried

husband:

freshest and most beautiful. The brighten
ing of the world in the last few years by
the adoption Of wider range of colors in

that has happened; but, as has been the

fiounce. which is lined, like the rest of this
elegant wrap. with lavender taffeta.
The artistic sleeve of lavender velvet is
a leg O mutton in shape and quite full in
the upper arm and narrowing toward the
wrist, where it again widens into a bell
shaped cuff. The deep collar cut in one
with a high standing Medici collar, is also
made of lavender cloth and velvet and is
lined with taffeta. 1t forms deep tabs and
is edged with very narrow strips of shin
ing peaCock's feathers. The Medici collar
is entirely lined with peacock feathers.
Peacock Feathers.
We are happy to say that the supersti-
tion of ill-luck which has hovered over this
beautiful plumage has at last been lifted
from ii by the frivolous hand of Fashion
and we find it on the newest spring wraps
and gowns as garniture so rich and beau
tiful to provoke Juno herself to envy
and anger ever the usurpation.
Discretion is recommended in the use of
this trimming. as too much of 1t is likely to
give the effect of vulgar gaudiness.
The bright metallic colorS on the collar
of our model are accentuated by full
cravat of lavender mousseline de sole.
This manteau could also be made in dark
green, purple or black with excellent effect
Matrons have again adopted the old dol
man shape of their newest spring wraps,
and so closely do they adhere to the styles
of fifteen years ago that a gown of that
time couid De worn unaltereQ with 1mpun1-
ty. The wrap is generally made of the
same cloth and to match the gown, as it
was then.
A handsome model of dark blue cloth has
a rather scanty skirt, the fullness of which
falls at the back in two hoX pleats, gradu-
ally widening toward the hem. The border
of dark blue velvet is appliqued in apron
overskfft form with black silk soutache
braid; the tight bodice shows an inserted
vest of velvet and is trimmed with a point
of appliqued velvet at the back.
A Handsome Wrap.
The dolman is lined with black satin and
is loose in front. showing a sleeve effect,
while the back forms two box pleats, which
are adjusted to the waist line and fall
loosely below over the back box pleats of
the skirt. The garniture in front and along
the sleeves is appiiqued velvet, and a high
velvet Medici collar is edged with black
ostrich pumes.
Pointed vests and revers give a longer
appearance to the waist, and they are
therefore a favorite mode of trimming for
figures inclined to embOnpont. All bodices
Tor figures measuring over twenty-four
inches around the waist should have two
underarm pieces instead of one which not
only lengthens the effect, but narrows the
pieces of the bodice, thus adding more YER
tical lines, all of which are advantageous
to the figure.
Our model to the right is a fair example
of an elderly lady's basque. 1t is of black
serge with revers of black satin opening
over pointed vest of very dark red satin
yelled with fulled black mousseline de sole
Thus, with proper attention to develop
ment of character and appearance and
armed with tact and good taste, woman
stands proof against the distinctions of
time, and each succeeding year may but
add to her charms and raise her higher in
the heart of man.

Had Several Alfbfn.
ON the Karsas City Journal.

From the karsas City Journal.
Sir Francis Lockwood of England, whose
death was announced yesterday from Lon
don. was one of the best story tellers ever
heard" said Attorney Henry Wollman yes
terday. He was at Saratoga in 1896 with
Baron Russell, lord chief justice of Eng
land, ana won great prominence and popu-
larity during his stay there. He could tell
a story better than Chauncey Depew, and
that is saying great deal.
AT a dinner party one evening he was
relating anecdotes of some of his early ex-
periences, and told of once defending a man
for murder. One of the strong points he
made was an alibi, which he thought was a
good one After the case went to the jury,
in a conversation with the judge he asked
him what he thought of the alibi. The
judge said he thought IL doubtful If the jury
accepted ii, and then Sir Francis replied:
That's too bad, for had half a dozen
other alibis just as good that could have
Csed.'
Every one laughed at the remark and it
found its way into the newspapers the fol-
lowing morning. Baron Russell intimated
to Sir Francis that he had made an error,
and IL the printed story got back to Eng
land II might cause harsh comment, as the
British idea Of testing might not catch the

Give the Stupid boy n Chance.

frcm the Baptist Courier.
Here is a lesson and perhaps .ncouraee-
ment for parents who nave a stupid bow
Tor no doubt there are a few stupid bows in
the world, even amid the lights of this
closing century. 1t is said that when Isaac
barrow, one of the greatest of English
preachers, was a boy, his father thought
MN very stupid, and used to say IL IT
pleased God to take from him any of his
Children he hoped it would be Isaac. But
Isaac was not taken; he grew to be one Of
the greatest preachers of England, pro-
lessor in the University of Cambridge and
teacher of Sir Isaac Newton 1t is well
10 remember that a boy is not necassa rily
stupid because he is pronounced stupid
he may be stupidity judged. The fire of in
teliect may kindle slowly; it may saem to
pc smoldering under heap of ashes
hopelessly suppressed. Genius Goes not al
ways shoot up like skyrocket. 1t may
come like the rising of thu sun to rnerjdian n
splendor, slowly, steadily. Do not he dis d;si
couraged Dy the apparent stupidity of the
boy or girl. Give him or her fair chance
Inc first movements of tne great seagoing
vessel are apparently awkward and hesi-
tatlng, as she tries to turn to get out of
the harbor. But watch her graceful, splen-
Gid movements as she ploughs the ocean
or weathers the storm
Moreover, a stupid judgment of a boy is
damaging to him. To call him a Ounce a
blockhead, an idiot is very unwisa as well
as unkind. 1t may discourage him, may
for long time paralyZe his efforts, may
even permanently affect his character
Give the stupid boy a chance, and it will be
known ere long whether he is really or
only apparently stupid.

GERMAN "MILLIONAIRE
Their Income Wouldn't Go Far IN
London New York

Berlin Letter in Wilmington News.
The differences in the unit of money in
Giferent countries make considerable diff
ference in the practical meaning of the
word millionaire" Webster's Dictionary
defines a millionaire as ''one whose wealth
is counted by Millions" In popular use
one who has million is regarded as a mill
lionaire. In the United States 1t would bs
N,09o,000. In England it would be Fl 900 600
sterling. But as the pound sterling is
worth $4.S6 and a fraction in our money,
the Englishman would require nearly five
times much actual capital as the Amerf-
can before the Englishman could take rank
in the noble army of martyrs known as
''millionaires."
Here In Germany, where the unit of value
Is the mark, which is worth % cents and a
fraction in our money, much less actual
capital is required to make a man a mill
llonaire than in the United States | had
this fact impressed upon me by reading i'm

Statistical-i iear-Book of Berlin, that city
of over 1,Vo,N0 inhabitants contains 2O92
millionaires-''each person who has an in

oned as millionaire" Thirty-six thousand
marks are less than S900o-and $1,000 a year

rapid computation, that $4,000 marks is a
little more than 3l2 per centum on 100000
marks (about S24o,Oo0D-and there you have

ty there are Az "thaler millionaires'' in

A YOUNG MAN NILLINER.
One Maize Student In n Brooklyn Class
in Hat Designing.


From the Philadelphia Times
While 1t is true that men have been MAX
ing womens fine gowns and bonnets for
some years, yet an instance of a genuine
American man milliner has been thus far
almost unknown. Native born young men
have been free to let their foreign brothers
have a monopoly in the business, but now
the country is to have at least one male
artist in feminine headgear.
Any one who does not believe it has onlv
to ask the mother of Brooklyn young man.
who has had three new bonnets this win
ter and all her sons handiwork They are
pretty bonnets, too. She would not wear
them If they were not The headquarters
OF the young artist in hats is just at pres
ent Pratt Institute. Any one who visits
the evening millinery class will be inter-
ested to see, first of all, number of girls,
each of whom is bringing into shane a
skeleton of hat, which gradually takes to
itself L covering of some kind of stuff which
the expert knows to be canton flannel
That is the material which the millinery
eXperlmenter uses in lieu of velvet. But by
this time the visitor has discovered that
there Is a young man in the room He is
making hat with all the engrossing in
terest that is to be seen in the Young vo-
men. And America may have a first-cIass
man miliner
They have never had men students in
tiiis iiie Oh work before at Pratts, though
they have had applications. The present
pupil is taking evening lessons. and comes
twice week and has now taken thirty or
more, beginning at the A. B, C of millinery
work.
The girls did think it was rather funny AT
ilrst 10 nave young man of eighteen TAX
ing millinery cssons with them but as he
dld not mind. they came to think if was
quite nice after all.

EthnOIOgy of kissing.

From the London Mail.
The kiss was unknown among the abo-
riginal tribes of America and of Central
Africa. From the most ancient times,
however. il has been familiar to the Ash
attic and European races. The Latins di-
vided it into three forms-the osculum,
the Dasium and the suaviolum-the first
being the kiss of friendship and respect,
the second of ceremony and the third of
lcve. The Semtes always employed the
kiss, and Job speaks of it as part of their
sacred rites, it is today in the Roman
Catholic Church.
The Mongolian kiss is not the same as
that which prevails with us. In it the lips
do not come into actual contact with those
of the person kissed. The nose is brought
into light contact with the cheek, fore
head or hand: the breath is drawn slowly
through the nostrils, and the act ends
with slight smack of the lips. The Chi
nese consider our mode of kissing most
detestable. We on our part regard their
method with equal diSdain.
Darwin and other naturalsts have at
tempted to trace back the kiss to the act
of the lower animals who seize their prey
with their teeth. The average man does
not take n great deal of interest in the
ethnology of the subject, however.

Miss Freda Knagen, a charming and ath-

The Secret Of Perfect Dreaded Chops.

Frcm the Kansas City Star.
Few know the secret of cooking Dreaded
chops to perfection, and many fail en-
urely or are prejudiced against them be-
cause they make the serious mistake of
cooking them throughout in the frying pan,
whereas they should merely be finished off
in this way, in deep boiling fat. "Frenched"
chops, thick and juicy, are proper for
breading, and should first be broiled for
five minutes over a hot, clear fire, counting
ten between each time of turning, then
take from the IRE, baSte thoroughly with
hot melted butter, allow them to stand for
ten minutes. then roll first in fine sifted
bread crumbs, then in egg and fry as
directed. They should take on a rich gold
en- brown almost at once, and will thus
not be overdone by the second cooking.
When these chops are placed in the center
OF i mound of mashed potatoes they form
a very appetizins dish. If to six good-sized
potatoes half cup of hot cream is added
as well as a small tablespoonful of butter,
the potatoes properly dried and salted be-
fore MASKING. the whole whipped in a hot
vessel over the fire. the potatoes will be
as perfect as the chops.
Beefsteak and onions.-This is essentially
a cold weather dish, and the steak should
be broiled, not fried. The onions should be
cut in thin slices, fried brown I'm hot bacon

onions left in the bottom of the paA the

on top, the whole put in a hot oven for five
minutes, when it is ready to serve.
