WHEN PRESENTED AT COURT,

There are many American women,
including some from Chicago. who
are to be presented at the English
court this spring. It is interesting to
know just what they will have to do
in order to conform to the strict rules.
When the date of a drawing-room is
announced, the date when application
may be made is also told The num-
ber who may be presented in the
general circle does not exceed 200,
and therefore there is a grand rush to
get ones name in.
The woman who wants TO be pre-
sented must apply at the lord cham
berlain's office, st. James palace, for
the necessary card, or form, which has
to be filled in, telling of whom she is
the daughter, OF whom the wife, name
and address of the lady making the
presentation. etc. These names the
lord chamberlain submits to Queen
Victoria for her approval and II they
pass her august scrutiny presentation
cards are forwarded the eager appli-
cants.
On the day of the drawing-room the
applicant takes her cards to Buck
ingham palace and gives one to the
page in waiting, stationed in the cor
rfdor, and the other to the lord cham
berlain In the presence chamber, who
announces the names to her majesty
or the princess who is acting for the
queen. There are few old customs
in vogue, such as a woman having to
be presented again on her marriage,
no matter If she was presented when
a girl. An unmarried woman cannot
make presentations.
II the queen holds the drawing-room
in person the woman presented re-
moves her right-hand glove. places
her hand beneath that Of the queen
and kisses her majesty's hand. When
one Of the princesses holds the draw
ing-room ladies' only courtesy and
omit the hand kissing. The courtesy
is not slow and measured, but should
be quick and graceful. Full instruc-
tions as to ones dress are always
given at the lord cha=s berlain's office.

KANSAS olRLs Af rHe rsoNr.


- wv hhippihts-
When the deeds of courage and vaior
in the Philippines have become part
OF familiar history one Of its brightest
pages will be given to the wives and
maidens who bore part so nobly with
the Kansas troops. They were present
in the trenches, ready with their band
ages to give first aid to any stricken
soldier, and about the hospitals their
cheerful presence and deft nursing
gave comfort to many wounded boy.
In the letters written to home folk bv
the Kansas wounded the Kansas CITY
Journal finds mentioned the names Of
Mrs Funston, wife of the colonel;
Mrs. Schlieman, wife Of the chaplain:
Mrs, Buchan, wife Of the Kansas CITY
captain; Mrs. Whitman, wife Of the
junior major, aud perhaps more fire.
quently yet the names of Miss Bradner
aud Miss Ollie O'Brien. Miss Bradner
went from Kansas to India several
years ago as a missionary. With the
breaking out Of the Spanish war she
proceeded to Hong Kong, and then.
after Manila had fallen, to the Philip
pine capital, where she at once in
stalled herself as nurse in the Twen-
tieth Kansas. She kept at the front
with the boys all through the late
campaign and applied the first relief
TO all the wounded that came within
her reach. II is related by one Kansas
boy that during one Of the fierce en-
gagements tins young woman sat by
his side in the trenches, coolly pass
ing cartridges to him as fast as he
could fire.
Miss Ollie O'Brien is Topeka girl
who went to Manila last summer on
pleasure bent. She accompanied Mrs.
Stutensburg, wife of regular army
officer who is now serving with the
volunteers from Nebraska. When the
wounded commenced to come from the
front she volunteered to go into the
hospital as a nurse, and she has at
ten led TO her duties faithfully and
well. Miss O'Brieu is naturally Of the
army. When a bit Of babe she was
adopted into the family of Captain NJ.
O'Brien, and the people of Hays City
remember well the pretty little girl
who used to fit abont their town when
the captain was stationed at a nearby
fort.
Miss O'Brien is tasting for the first
time in her life the delight of being
something in the world besides a social
favorite. She writes to friends that
there is no other word but glorious. -
She is learning to be thrillel by the
crash of guns, the tramp of men and
the blast of bugle. The flag is no
longer pretty rag Auttering in the
whilom breezes-it is the soul of
nation, speaking its serious thoughts.
When she wraps the wounds of
patriots she feels that she is soothing
the hurts of her country, and the
strength and broadness of it is coming
to her like great light out Of dark
ness. All of this Miss O'Brien tells in
her letters, and she says she is not
shocked nor grieying, but happy
fiercely happy.

More monkey-inviting forests than
those OF southern Hayti can not be
found in the tropics, but not even a
marmoset or squirrel monkey accepted
the invitation. In an infinite series
of centuries not one pair Of quadru-
mana availed itself of the chance to
cross sea gap, though at several
points the mainland approaches west
ern Cuba within less than two hun
dred miles about half the distance
that separates southern Asia from
Borneo, where fourhanders of all sizes
aud colors compete for the products
of the wilderness. aud, according
to Sir Philip Maitland, the ina
tive women avoid the coast jungles
for fear of meeting Mr.. Darwin 5
grandfather.
The first Spanish explorers OF the
Antilles were, in fact, so amazed at
the apparently complete absence of
qualrupeds that their only explana-
tion was a conjecture that the beasts
OF the forests must have been exter.
minated by order of some native po-
tentate, perhaps the great Kubla Khan,
whose possessions they supposed to
extend eastward from Lake AraI to the
Atlantic.

clicks used to tell tale which would
have appealed to faith-healers, at any

in medical men goes. Hicks had
heard OF the somewhat sudden death
of a small farmer who dwelt near him,
aud meeting the farmers son shortly
after, inquired OF him how long his
father had been i'll, aud what doctor
