Epitaph For
A Duchess.

Perhaps the most succesaful match
maker OF. her time, and essuredly one
OF the greatest of her kind the world
has known, was Jane, duchess Of Cor
don. ancestress OF the present Duke Of
Richmond. Gordon and Lenox. In other
ways also was Matchmaking JEANNE"
as she was ncknamed. remarkable, for
to her ability as n recrulter England
owes that fine regiment, the Gordon
hiEhlanders.
matchmaking JEANNE" was born at
Monreith, In Wigtown, the daughter OF
a country laird named Maxwell, of long
descent. but scnnty patrimony. and
shortly after her birth, in 1850. her
mother and father separated, the for
mer settling down in rather poor lodg-
lngs off the High street OF Edinburgh.
Edinburgh life was somewhat primitive
in those days. and the tradition still OBJ
tains that JEANNE Maxwell, the future
duchess, was wont to gallop up and
down the High street on the back OF
fat pig, to the great delight of her
neighbors
The lucky marriage of her elder sister
to lawyer of prominence in 1867 gave
JEANNE Maxwell her chance, and she
did not neglect It, Deity she cast the
matrimonial net, and rich was the prize
she caught--no less a husband in fact,
than the Duke OF Gordon. one of the
greatest peers in all Scotland and chief
OF the great Gordon clan.
The duchess had 1--WE daughters, and
marvellous was the manner in which
she won husbands for them. Her cam
paigns." as they We're Justly called,
could only be adequately described by
Thaclierny or Balzac. But in no case
was she worsted in these campaigns
All her daughters married we'll thanks
to their mothers skill and tact. The
eldest. Lady Charlotte, became Duchess
OF Richmond; the second, Susan. mar
ried the Duke of Manchester; another
was Warehouses OF Corvallis; anoth-
er captured the greatest prize of all,
the enormously wealthy Duke of Bed
ford. Only one Of the five married
commoner. and her husband owned a
baronetcy and WAS at the head OF an
ancient family.
In 1891 the duchess SGT about raising
a regiment to serve against the French.
She pranced about the highlands Dress
ed in tartan and feathered "bonnet"
and every man who listed had tie
privilege OF claiming kiss from the
great lady's lips in lieu of the CUSTOM
airy shilling. Within four weeks this
| extraordinary woman had enrolled fully
500 men. and month later the new
regiment was formally recognized as
the zone Hundredth Gordon high
landers," a designation which 1t still
proudly bears.

Four Leaf Clover

Four leaf clovers set in crystal and
mounted in sterling silver are appear
ing as stickpins. as fobs and good luck
charms of various kinds. They are very
popular as the design on garter buckles.
Every girl is bound to wear n four leaf
clover in some shape or form. and there
is perfect fad for them, some young
maids believing that they have no good
fortune the days that they do not wear
them.
The smallest specimens of the clover
have been secured. fully dried so as to
preserve their natural color and placed
between two tiny crystals. These crys-
tails may be trimmed with either silver
or gold, in the shape of hearts, dia-
monds or circles, Jeweled or plain, ac-
cording to Individual fancy.
Speaking of color the question arises,
How many girls know that one leaf is
for health, one for wealth, the third
for love and last for happiness? Many
young women take pleasure in search
ing for four leaf clovers under circum-
stances described by George Eliot as "a
solitude q deuX."

Saturday on BroadwayN-this Saturday
at least--is the day for good looking
people.
1t 10 odd how one thing will be abso-
lutely correct and another one so I'M
desirable that It would Damn with a

Did you ever stop to think of the
right and wrong of inanimate things?
Did you ever stop to think that what
one person can do with success another
one is sure to blunder over? That the
we'll turned compliment paid by the
man who understands the art of con-
versation Is delight. while the at
tempt at II made by man who is a
fool is worse than blunder-it is cause
for defamation of character?
One woman can be tender and af-
fectionate to all mankind and charm
them. while n different type of woman
following this example is spoken of as
fast and found bore. You have got
to learn your meter and then fit your
self to IT, You have got to suit your
self in dress and manner to that which
nature intended you to be. and the sue
cessful man or woman Is the one who
finds out what natures Intentions We're
and honorably achieves them. II you
have any doubt as to what I mean. just
look at some of the little things and see
how they make or mar.

but necklace in daytime would be the
abomination of desolation.
1t is perfectly correct to encircle your
waist with n Russian belt covered with
brilliant enamel, but it would be in hor-
rible taste to wear three or four brace
let's on the street.
1t is all right to have your muff as big
as all outdoors IL 1t is fur. but IL it is
silk or velvet 1t must be almost as small
as n vest pocket.
1t is correct to have your skirt fitted;
but, though Just as much attention
must be given to it, your bodice must
look loose.
1t is quite in order to have a veil like
no other woman in the city, but that
veil must not look extreme.
1t Is the received thing to have cost
ly handkerchief. but the cost must be
in the fine linen cambria. for you would
ruin your reputation IL you carried a
lace one.
The difference is intangible sometimes.
1t is slight, but it exists. and 1t is

Origin Of "Spinster."

There are few persons that have not
looked into the dictionary especially
who know how the term ''spinster" orig
mated. We often find 1t in Shake
speare and other English classics, but
1t is not always used to define a spinner.
This is It's specific meaning. Its general
significance is wider. There was an old
practice, in the~ years agone, that n
woman should never be married until
she had spun herself a set of body, table
and bed linen. 1t is not difficult to see
how easy the term became applicable
to all unmarried women, and finally be.
came law term and fixed.
