A MODEL HOUsEKEEPER.
Most Practical of All New YOrlx's Rich
MotrOns.

It looks as II Mrs. Willie X Vanderbilt,
jr., were going to become as famous a
housekeeper as her sister, Mrs. Herman
Oelrichs, who is considered the most model
in all New York society Mrs. Willie X,
jr., has exhibited her housewifely talents
during the honeymoon at Newport, for she
has done all her own marketing instead OF
intrusting 1t to servants.
She drives in her carriage each morning
and selects carefully all her green gro
ceries and meats She asks the price of all
things before purchasing them and ex-
amines things carefully. II any mistakes
are made she reminds the tradesmen OF ii
at her next visit, and they have learned
that they cannot "bleed" this society
housekeeper. The tradespeople do not like
to have the women come to do the market
ing for the reason that they make far
more money out of the servants orders,
overcharging and by many ways. Mrs.
Vanderbilt has settled into staid married
dame; she has postponed her contemplated
visit to Europe till later, and Is now en-
joying the pleasures Of housekeeping on her
own hook. She owes her knowledge OF
housekeeping TO her sister for she was
not trained by her mother. as Mrs oelrchs
was, as she was in school almost up to the
time OF her mothers death.
Mrs. Oelrichs is ths most generous
woman in her household, yet she exacts the
most skilled labor. Every one about her
is taught the value of perfect order, and
her children are models in this respect,

toria. Both women married in the same
month and each lost her husband after
twenty-one years of welded life. The
similarity in personal appearance of the
two women is striking. In build, in height
and in features there is a marked re-
semblance SO much so that If it ever be-
comes necessary to personate the queen her
Long Island counterpart could do it with
remarkable success.
Princess Nazn Hanum, says the Woman S
Journal, paralyzed Cairo society by giving a
reception to which both men and women
were invited She is the niece of Ismail

was magnificent and most of the distin-
gulshed people OF all nations in Cairo were
present The princess is said to be deeply
versed in eastern and European politics,
literature and art, besides possessing much
, charm Of conversation and manner. No
Moslem princess has ever before ventured

pretty chin jewel drops SO to speak, are
used, though every woman has her own
particular notion of how a Valliere should be
used.
When they first came out in Paris last
autumn, two diamonds OF equal light, but
different tints, else two pearls were fastened
at either end of a bit of hair with fine
gold chain about four inches long. This
chain was tucked and fastened inside a high
lace and silk dress collar and then the jewel
ends were drawn out to hang and sparkle or
glow under the chin
Now we see La Valiere put to newer uses.
The gold chain is finished often as not by
cut crystal balls, mock pearls Of abnormal
sizes or a couple of wee jeweled bees or
frogs. The ornament, though employed as
in Paris, has more frequently its chain
slipped noosewise round the knot OF a
lace, satin or chiffon jabot four in hand the
ends then allowed to hang free in the jabot's
frlls.
BY another method La Valliere also serves
as watch fob. A tiny jeweed watch,
hardly larger than scent piece, is tucked
inside the neck OF decollete corsage for
barls and dinners, and the little decorated
ehain made fast to the ring over the stem
winder, hangs out and answers a corsage

goods, has not the very general fault Of

Some of the new taffeta silk skirts are
made without lining, The skirt has three
narrow frills at the hem and two more put
on TO simulate deeply pointed overdress,
but in this case the unincd skirt is worn
over a very elaborate silk petticoat, fitted
and made very much after the fashion of 4

Among the French hats in shepherdess

Mrs. 0erchs oversees everything. that
goes on in her beautiful white marble house
in Fifth avenue. or her mansion at New
port. Decorators, furnishers and all do
her bidding and nothing is left entirely to
contractors. All this is done in such a
systematic manner that 1t does not seem
to take great deal Of Mrs. oelrchs' time
from her social duties, for she is always
we'll to the fore in all social affairs.
1t is her perfect management. She has a
fine head for business and details and she
uses her talents in her tome.
These domestic gifts are inherited by
Mrs. oelrichs and Mrs. Vanderbilt from
their mother, Mrs. Fair. who was born a
poor Irish girl, her father being saloon
keeper at Virginia City, and Theresa Muir

RELIGIOUS.

The Christian Endeavor society reports
| more than 100000 names on its rolls.
| The national congress of the Disciples of
Christ recently held at st. Louis was the
first of the kind ever held by that church,
but it will doubtless be followed annually
by others.
There are sixty-two Christian Endeavor
| societies connected with the Episcopal
churches of this country, and twenty with
the churches in England. The average is
said to be higher in Australia and Canada.
Father Sherman, the Jesuit priest and son
of General Sherman, says he does not believe
that Protestants can succeed in peryerting
the Catholic population of Porto Rico from
their religion, and thinks our government
did wrong in cutting off the salary of the
priests, which has made the priests hostile
to Americans.
The Presbyterian Board of Foreign Mis-
sions has closed the year free of debt, which
fact is due not merely to receipts but to
very heavy reduction of expenses, whereby
the work has suffered. During the last
month of the year the receipts being beyond
what was anticipated, the board was able
to appropriate $4,000 to pay expenses Of
new missionaries, which had not been pro-
vided for.
The Universalist Leader, in noticing the
150 religious sects reported by DIR. Car

the Pacific coast with greatest ease. The

NEW YORK, May 26-It is very difficult
to estimate for how long the revival OF fhe
earring will last. Some very thorough going
women have actually had their pretty pink ear
lobes pierced or repierced for the sake OF a
mode that seems only to be a passing fancy,
and others have bought little hooks OF In
visible wire or clasps that pinch the lobe
closely and with these for aids have taken
generously to the earring movement. or
course all such patent fasteners are liable,
while a woman dances or even emphatically
mods her head, to shake free from their
hold and in consequence there are amaz-
ingly few earrings made up OF genuine
gems. There is no loss In brilliancy or
beauty because the mock pearls, diamonds
and rubies are employed, and, though older
women have to an important extent re-
assumed their pearl ear studs, the youthful
generation has adopted, in all good taste,
the conceit of the Neapolitan ear hoop

pearls, Is the choice oftenest made and
girls who fully and softly pompadour their
hair letting the silken tress droop over
the ear tops, get very interesting effects
with their pearl circlets bobbing over

This whim for earrings has had decided
effect upon the dressloving sex. Women
have suddenly discovered that small and

make them. He stayed with us when

insurgents with bullets Whstling
around us, dropping like rain. He told
us not to waste ammunition, but to
make every shot count.
AT present we are on guard duty in

The loss on the insurgent side is very
heavy, and probably runs up to a total
of 1000 dead. The Americans loss is
slight Not a man in company NJ has
a scratch.
