THE FAIR SEX.

The women have to take so many
seedlings from their preachers in
church that it is too much to expect
that they also take seedlings from their
husbands. When a woman who can
afford new clothes wears those of an
old style the women explain it by say
ing she is $50 quaint" In many cases
1t Is considered announcement enough
that girl has made her debut in So
ciety when stove is put up in the
parlor. The women to make their
homes look "restful' are putting so
many sofa pillows on the lounges that
man has to double up like a jack
knife to lie on them. The new hats
the women wear are never pretty to
the men; they have to get used to
them, the same as they get used to the
face of a new cook in the kitchen.
But will they ever get reconciled to the
hats worn this year? They are ugly
enough to cause horses to shy; big
broad-brimmed cowboy hats with
quill in them that would tickle the
heart of a fat old squaw. Widows
look well in their mourning, chiefly for
the reason that women dress in too
gay colors, and look genteel for the
first time in their lives when compelled
to dress in sober attire There are
grandmothers in Atchison who dress
as gay as a sixteen-y ear-old girl. It 10

STRAW HATS.

To wear with summer gowns of light
color there are most attractive hats OF
yellow straw trimmed with bright
flowers. Some Of these are in toquc

Windsor Great park, the country home
of the Prince and Princess Christian
By permission of the prince the writer
was enabled to explore the kitchen at
most interesting time, that is, while
the royal occupants were lunching
with a small party of friends.
| The most conspicuous features of the
immense room were three giant ranges
sunk in the wall, a plate warmer al

utensils.

luncn hour and the preparation with
his own hands of an omelet of the
most choice ingredients could possibly

AS there was royal company to lunch
that day, the kitchen presented an an
mated scene. The sliding service door
would fly up and a smart footman an

everything was in readiness, so that
the privileged onlooker could at
glance see the regularity and precision
with which the royal household was
conducted
The larders, cool to a refreshing de-
gree, exhibited dainties OF the mos APP
petizing nature, supplied as they are
by the royal farms adjoining the lodge.
IN the old days kings and queens did
not enjoy the culinary advantages Of
their descendants by many degrees
For instance when Queen Elizabeth
lived at Windsor, the facilities accord
ed the cook were so few that the meat
for the royal table was cooked at the

bakery was public one. to which most
Of the surrounding families sent their

AN AMBIGUOUS REJoINDER.

My friend. the widow, who always
reminds me, by the way, of that
proverb of Oliver Herfords that "a lit
tie widow is a dangerous thing" has
been chaperoning a series of supper
parties lately that have tested the
cuisine of every country resort within
20 miles. She says that the most de-
lightful thing that she has come across
is waiter in an inn somewhere over
Anacostia way, who is as wise as it is
well for a man to be. She asked him
on one lovely evening last week IL
there were many guests at the inn.
"No, madam" he said, This is not
one of our busy nights"
What are your busy nights?" she
asked, for even widows are human
enough to have a little curiosity.
"Well," he answered, I'VE has
great many people here on Fridays, but
we always has most on Mondays and
rainy nights"
Mondays and rainy nights!" said
the widow; why how odd. Those are
just the very times when | shouldn't
expect to find anybody at all here"
The waiter looked worldly and wise.
"Yesm," he said; II guess that what
they all thinks"
And the girl in pink organdie Won
dered all the rest of the evening what
in the world the waiter meant-From

Algeria, and is pushing into this for
mer desert for the purpose of opening
up the whole western section and
bringing forth its latent riches. South
of the desert France controls the head
waters of the Niger, with it's fertile
valleys. Farther south is the French
Congo, with the Congo River and its
valley along the southern border.
1t was from these western possess
sions that Marchand pushed forward
to Fashoda, while another French ex-
petition, starting from Obok, on the
east coast, sought to join hands with
him, thus demonstrating to the world
that England's dream of a British
Africa, inseparable from Cairo to the
cape, was not to be realized. But while
these plans were not fully carried out,
France has developed her possessions
in other directions, until she rightly
makes claim of holding first place in
the extent of possessions in Africa.
The German empire in Africa covers
about 100000 square miles, but
while this is small in comparison with
ers have been long exploring and COL
onizing, while Germany came on the
scene only 16 years ago In 1888 the
German flag was raised for the first
time in southwest Africa. German
east Africa was added soon after.
Thus far, however, it cannot be said
that any marked development has fol-
lowed this movement, as Germany,
coming late, took the least desirable
desert country, and even the scant
possibilities of this have been further
weighed down by officialism and mill
tarism, which are the main character
istics of German colonizing, as against
the local civil administrations which
the British and French put into force.
In west Africa Germany has also sci
her foot-in the Kameruns, not faI
from the Niger country, and at Togo
Land, running from the gulf of Guinea
back to a rich interior. With Ger.
many's industrial awakening and hel
need for new markets this German EN-
pire in Africa is viewed at Berlin as {
seat of future greatness.
Other powers-Italy, Portugal, Spai1
and Belgium-have their possessions il
Africa, but they do not rise to the dig
nifty of'empires, although Italy, but TO
the reverse by the Abyssinian noun
taineers, would have We'd with Ger
many in the extent of possessions.
The United Staets has thus far givel
no attention to territory in Africa, AM
has permitted the other powers to ap
portion Africa among themselves a

reached out to this country for help
and an American protectorate has beer
proposed. But Liberia is little NOR,
than a dot on Africa, having an area o

Liberia, but for practical consideration
it would be travesty for the United
States to look to that spot as the sea-
of future American effort in Africa.

NOTED COLLECTORS OF FANS.
Rare Specimens of These Feminine
Trifies that Represent Fortunes.

The finest collection of fans in Eu-
rope belongs to Baroness James Roths-
child. The next most famous are those
of ex-Queen Isabella of Spain, who has
over 800 fans of all periods and styles
and the Dowager Empress of Russia
who is constantly adding to her treas
ures. Other noted collections are those
of the Princess de Sagan, the Duchess
de Novelties and the Due d Aufhale.
Mrs. Seward Webb, Mrs. Sloane
Mrs. Pinchott, Mrs. ]. Pierpont Morgan
and DR.. q. D. Emmett can display
lresplendent Vernis Martin fans; with
carved pearl sticks, inlaid with gold;
fans with ivory sticks inlaid with
canoes and emeralds; fans with tor
toise shell sticks damascened with sill
yer; mourning fans, wedding fans, war
fans and fans which belonged to illus
trious queens long since departed.
In this country Peter Marie pos
sesses the most valuable lot of these
fiuttering trifies; Mrs. Cornelius Van
derbilt's collection ranks second She
has some painted by Leloir and Vibert.
One of the costliest trifies in the
world is Mrs. Howard Gould's fan-one
of her engagement presents from her
husband. Its price is said to be $780,
900, which easily places the fan in
value at the head of the list of all
fans, past, present and future. It's
sticks are of perfectly matched ivory,
and each one is worthy place in the
Metropolitan Museum of Art The
mount is studded with turquoise and
diamonds. When folded it is not as
long as your hand and only half as
broad as your palm.
The handsomest feather fan on
record is that owned by the Countess
of Lonsdale. 1t consists of five wide,
white feathers, the largest twenty
inches. The amber handle has her
ladyship's monogram in diamonds. The
bauble cost $1,000.
OF all her beautiful fans, the EN-
press Augusta Victoria values most
the one made of the feathers of a bird
shot by her royal spouse.
An ivory stick fan riveted with dia-
monds, with a Maltese lace mount and
much gold thread, is one of Queen
Victoria's fans. 1t won the prize at
fan exhibition given in London, and at
the close of the show it was presented
to her majesty. 1t was made by a
society with a formidable name-"The
Worshipful Company of Fanmakers."
Our first lady of the land, Mrs. Nc
Kinley, was presented with a costly
fan which formerly belonged to the
wife of a Spanish hidalgO; it was given
to her by an American citizen VINO two
years ago spent some time in a Cuban
prison. He selected the wife of the
president of the United States to
whom to make this valuable gift, be-

he owed for the efforts made for his re-

Among the delicacies Invariably
served at these banquets, may be men
toned the famous calipash, the green
fat of the turtle, and the calipee or
white soup fat. Yonder before roar
ing furnace turning and spluttering,
are a score of large joints, fifty ducks,
chickens, pheasants, and twice the
number of small birds.
Fish is prepared beforehand and
merely rewarmed, but the whitehall,
which is always cooked at the time,
requires many rows of wire baskets.
A cauldron at these enormous kitchens
will hold at time dozen hams, five
dozen fowls, and then have a spare
corner for something besides.
Ices, vegetables, entrees, and fruit
are prepared in smaller Ice chilled lard
ers. Nevertheless, amid all this hustle
and apparent confusion banquet for
two hundred and sixty persons can be
got ready in one and a half hours, sup
posing that all due preparation has
been previously made.
The provision for the annual civic
feast at the Gulldhall is quite dis
tinct art, for on this occasion the en-
tire banquet Is served cold, excepting
the inevitable turtle soup, and one
course Of roast game which is pre-
pared by means OF the extensive gas
ranges situated In the crypts below;
all else having been cooked before
