following extraordinary story:

suade a brother incapacitated by Ill

In order that they may be absolved
from a yearly contribution of ESQ to-
ward his maintenance. AT frs, abso-

heartless selfishness actually existed

An Intelligent Censor.

No play may be publicly performed
In England until it has been passed
upon and agreed to by the stage cen
sor. A certificate must be secured
from the lord chamberlain. The lord
chamberlain himself does not. Of
course, read all the plays submitted to
him, but the work Is passed on to the
examiner Of plays, who is not always
a man of education or discretion and
who In many cases has been suspected
Of letting things pass because man
ayers have made 1t profitable to him
to close his eyes to supposed faults.
The story Is told of one Of these ex-
aminers who was moved to strike out
drunk as a lord" In one Of the plays
submitted to him. There used to be
an old rule that the word heaven"
should be substituted in stage lines
wherever the name OF any OF the per
sons of the Trinity came up. So this
clever examiner changed the line to
read las drunk as heaven"
The penalty for disobeying the ex-
aminer Is a fine Of $3.50, which may be
levied on any person connected with
the forbidden performance-callboy as
well as star. 4oa,,,.

Gnnd He didn't Accent.

During the second Dreyfus court
martial. NJ. Quesnay de Beaurepaire,
ex president of the civil section of the
cour de cessation, who was bitter
against the accused captain, received
a very polite letter dated from the
Chateau de Prefargier, near Neu-
chatel, In Switzerland, and signed,
"a de Prefargier," praising him for
his efforts in the Dreyfus case and In
viting him to come and stay at the
writer's residence.
NJ. de Beaurepaire replied in his
usual tiowery style. saying he would
continue the struggle as long as he had
strength. and that he would remain AT
the breach like valiant soldier to set
an example of duty to God and the
fatherland, even should he stand alone.
He did not positively decline the lnvi-
tation, holding out hopes that some day
he might be free to accept 1t.

lunatic asylum for Neuchatel.-St.

One Chicago girls hat made q sensa
ton In the women's lunchroom at the
Auditorium yesterday. She came In
from Michigan avenue and stopped for
moment In the parlor. While there
she noticed young sparrow flutter In
through the open window and wheel
once or twice around the room. She
felt 1t brush against her hat in Its
flight, but thought no more Of it and
passed on into the lunchroom. She had
picked I'D the bill of fare and was
reading 1t when she felt that some one
was watching her, and CHANGING
around, she discovered that she was a
focusing point for all the eyes in the
immediate vicinity.
OF course she blushed and colored up
and began to wonder at the cause of
the peoples interest. Just then the
waiter, who had been lowering around
noticed her confusion and, bending
down. whispered, "Pahdon me, miss,
but dah's live buhd on yo' hat"
And then instead of going into hys-
terics she calmly said: Thank you.
VIII you please shoe 1t offY'
And the waiter "shooed" the sparrow
toward nearby window, while the
owner of the hat fixed 1t on straight
and proceeded to order her luncheon.

An exchange gives this story of a
pompous member of parliament who
attended an agricultural show in Dub
lin. He arrived late and found him
self on the outskirts of huge crowd.
Being anxious to obtain a good view
for himself and lady friend who ac-
companied him, and presuming that he
was well known to the spectators, he
tapped a burly coal porter on the
shoulder and peremptorily demanded.
Make way there

the unexpected response.

Countess de Casteilane's Palace.

When the palace of the Countess de
Castellane shall have been completed
II Is her aspiration TO establish salon
In her new home, which bids fair to be
ss famous In the present time as were
the French salons of a century ago.
What need interfere with it, since
wealth and good taste command the
necessary material surroundings. and
the social following OF the Count and
Countess de Castellane is becoming
greater In the French metropolis? In
It's present unfinished state the palace
which the Gould millions Is erecting
has not its equal In France.
The American girls palace abroad
is reproduction OF the Grand Trianon
at Versailles, in Louis QuatorZe style
of architecture. Treasures from near
and far have been brought to serve IN
carrying out the owners plans. To give
a brief Idea of its costly and historic
beauty, the instance of buying the pal
ace of Verona in order to obtain mere
ly the ceilings It contained. executed
by Tilpolo, is sufficient. AT present the
family occupies the main part OF the
mansion. and 1t is estimated that the
interior of the two wings, one OF which
will be theater and ballroom. will re
Qulre two years longer to decorate.
The establishment Is manned by be-
tween 80 and 40 servants. whose nun.
Der Is augmented when entertainments
are given. The staff includes major
domo a secretary TO the count. valet,
three footmen. chef de cuisine. three
assistants, two concierges. houscmaids.

the stable there are three coaclmen.
Jockey and dozen groom men and
stable boys.

cry of the servants. who on festal days
appear with powdered wigs in addi-

No Longer Requires His Arm.

There have been few more signih
cant social phenomena of late than
the discardlng of the masculine arm as
q means of physical and moral sup
port. The dawn of the next century
will probably see us all striding down
10 dinner by ourselves. our arms
swinging by our sides. Already the
thin end of the wedge had been insert
ed. 1t began with the lunch party.
Time was when these midday func-
tons were nearly as ceremonlous as
dinner. when guests were paired off,
and, linked arm In arm wendell their
way, Noah's ark fashion, to the festive
board. For some time now the lunch
party has resolved itself into an indis
eliminate scramble to find ones place
and a seat between two unknown per
sons to whom you are afraid to make
remark lest something untoward
should ensue Finally this season the
same lack of ceremony DEGREES that
our ingenues must march about ball
room without taking their partners
arm and our dowagers 60 down to
supper without any more masculine
support than Is afforded by the prox-
unity of black coat.
The support of gentleman's arm
was once considered Indispensable to
the ladies'. In the fortes and ffties
husbands and wives not only walked
the streets and appeared in the park
| inexorably linked, but 1t was the prop
er thing for them to enter a drawing
room arm In arm at dinner party or
rout. You may still. now and again.
see very quiet, old fashioned people do
ing so. The wife, whatever her char
acter or temperament, was held by So
ciety Mt large to be gentle. helpless,
dependent creature. too modest to be
capable Of entering a crowded party by
herself. Those were the days, to be
sure, when wives never accepted
dinner invitation alone. II the husband
| could not go for any reason, the wife
meekly staid at home. Well. we have
changed those drastic conjugal laws
considerably during the last few years,
learned to make her appearance In So
ciety without any male belongings, but
you will occasionally find a whole ia
BILE filled with guests who none of them
belong legally one to the other. Who
shall say II the change Is for the bet
ter? 1t Is. perhaps. too early to decide,
but that we shall never go back to the
old manners and the old ideals is toll
erably certain.-Ladies' Pictorial.
