A Brave French woman.

1t was brave answer Nine. Torni-
ELI made to the president of France
when he was attacked at the races re-
Gently. The president was sitting
right where the crowd could beat him
to death-nothing but little balus-
trade protected him. On one side of
him sat Nine. Loubet and Nine. Tor
nielli. When the first French Royal
ist struck him and the rabble of men
who called themselves the first gem
tlemen of France surged over the bal
ustrade, striking and crying, and the
great roar of anger went up from the
decent people, and it looked as if
those three people, the president and
the two ladies', would be crushed aud
beaten to death, the two women sat
calm, interested.
When the guards drew the first men
of, President Loubet, turning quick
ly to Nine. Tornielli, said, "Will you
leave?"
Certainly not, Monsieur lie Rresi-
dent" she said; ''am not in place
of honor?"

Way to Wear Wells.

Fashion, who is always having a
quiet sort Of wrestling match with
her bold rival Comfort, has been vic
torious this season, and now declares
boldly that i'll her train she will have
no more sunburnt, tanned or freckled
faces. She has endured them long
enough. Wells are undoubtedly pui-
sance when on the golf field, wheeling
or yachting, where clear, unobstructed
vision is necessary. In fact. as long
as they interfered with the sight
they were impossible. This year,
however, there is new way Of wear
ing them that makes them trife
moro bearable and leaves the eyes un-
covered.
The lower selvedge of the veil is
first arranged loosely about the shoul-
ders and pinned securely at the back
Of the neck. The veil is then taken
up over the face and the upper sell
wedge drawn tightly across the bridge
of the nose and under the eyes to the
back of the head. By this arrange
ment the forehead and eyes are all of
the face that is left exposed to the
sun; and the brim of the hat should
be such as to sufficiently protect them.

Designs For Costumes That Have Be-
come Popular in the Metropolis.

When expense is no object, the pet.
ticoat, or skirt, and jacket of figured
or lowered silk trimmed with ruffles
of lace is delightful costume; but it
takes many yards of silk to make the
requisite number of ruffles on the
skirt, and it takes great many yards
of lace to trim both jacket and skirt
according to the correct style; conse.
quently most women find it better and
much less expensive to have simply a
pretty morning jacket.
A good model is the one that fits
tight in the back, has half-fitting
lining in the front, the front of the
jacket loose from the shoulders, tied
in with ribbon belt that starts from
the side seams; the sleeves, medium
size, finished at the wrist with lace
ruff1es; the collar high one with q
lace tie in the front.
This can be had in any color or in
any material, is exceedingly pretty in
dotted Swiss, or even in some less ex-
pensive cotton material, while in silk
with insertions of lace it is very smart
and attractive.

Her Majesty's Tea Hos\se.

Close by the aviary and the dairy
in the grounds of Frogmore is the
Queens tea house, simple little bun
galow surrounded by veranda and
surmounted by red tiled roof. 1t is
connected by an open passage with 8
smaller building which contains the
kitchen. The furniture of the tea
house is all of plain oak, and the walls
are covered by an old-fashioned
French chintz paper representing
flowers climbing on trellis work. In
fine weather the breakfast table is
set out beneath the great oak trees
which overshadow the tea house, and
here her majesty takes her breakfast
attended by Indian attendants and ac-
companied by her grandchildren and
the three favorite dogs, who are, ac.
cordfhg to the kennel books, sin the
house." During the meal music is
furnished by two pipers, who march
to and fro beneath the trees.
The Queens breakfast, in common
with all her living, is of the very sim
plest. At her desire everything that
is good that is in season is served at
her table, but for herself eggs, dry
toast or fancy bread are all that she
ever takes.
Notwithstanding the enormous
amount of business with which she
has to deal, the Queen is to large
extent her own housekeeper. The first
thing every morning paper of sug-
gestions from the clerk of the kitchen
is placed before her, from which, in
her ewn hand, she orders the menus
of the day, both for herself and such
of her grandchildren as may be with
her. These menus are at once sent
to the kitchens, gardens and other de-
partments concerned, to obtain the
viands required, and their contents
duly entered, together with the quan
titles of material used, in the books
which are kept in the royal kitchen.
In addition to the great kitchen at
Windsor there are the green room for
vegetables, and the confectionery and
and pastry kitchen. This last is a
most important department, controlled
by n confectioner with six assistants
and fitted up in the most complete
manner. All her majesty's favorite
cakes, biscuits, pastry, etc, are made
here and sent by special messengers
several times week to whichever OF
her residences the court may be stay
ing at.-Pall Mall Magazine.

Croquet Again in Favor.

With the growth of the Trelawney
fad, croquet has come into favor. At
the period when Trelawney fashions
were most popular croquet was at its
height, and SO in the natural course
OF events the game has found renewed
favor among the maidens who are
gowned in Trelawney costumes.
The present method of playing the
game is more complicated than the
old. More skill is called for, more
technique needed in the manipulation
of the many colored balls. Even the
wire hoops are set out by different
rule. The heretofore straight lines of
the rings are done away with, and they
are crossed and angled until it re-
quires long practice to guide the NAL
let for the different strokes.
Lovely woman never looked lovelier
or more bewitching than when, gowned
in diaphanous muslin, with billows of
lace and gay streamers of delicate
hued ribbons, she stood, her dainty
shod foot poised on bail, mallet
raised, and with an earnest set ex-
preston on her pretty face she con-
sidered just how hard to make the
stroke which would send her oppon =.

A New House Gown from Paris.

81 wish you could see my French
idea of wrapper, so different from
some you see hers," writes Edith
Lawrence in the Ladies' Home Jour-
nal. ''It is not wrapper, but love-
ly tea gown, which 1 can wear all day
long in the house if 1 choose and feel
that l am quite enough dressed to see
any one. 1t has the advantages of a
negligee with the appearance of a
house dress. Alice writes me that they
are the latest touch in Paris. Mine is
made of pongee silk and is relieved
with trimming of dark brown ribbon.
1t is made all in one, with broad
sailor collar, and shaped founce at
the bottom. There is large brown
ribbon bow at the left side near the
collar, with band which passes down
under the brown silk belt; just at the
hip line there is another bow and
band, and still another at the top of
the hounce."

Winged Carriers of Disease.


With regard to cholera, it was found
that when house flies were fed with
pure cultures of that disease the bacilli
were found in their intestines and ex-
creta up to four days later Further,
if in addition to the pure cholera cul-
ture little sterilized broth were ad-
ded, then immense quantities of ba-
cilli were found, indicating that they
not only thrive but multiply in the
bodies of the flies. Thus may the
cholera lie insidiously deposited on
food or in milk to develop into the
full blown disease in the human body.
These, then, are some of the primi-
tive ways in which disease may be
spread, for the germs not only live in
the water and the soil, but in the air,
ready to fail on everything about us
within easy access to flies.
In addition to these direct ways of
transplanting the seeds of disease
there are other and more roundabout
methods known to science by which
certain flies. fitted by nature with q
complete inoculating apparatus, in
troduce into the human blood the
germs of deadly diseases. These flies
are chiefly mosquitoes-not all mos
quitoes, but certain species that no.
only have the power to elaborate the
germs of human diseases within the
area Of their own bodies, but are gifted
with the power of extracting these
germs from the blood of man, and of
giving them back to man again. Lady

Belt Claspg.

The latest trick in the wardrobe OF
the summer girl is broad belt clasp
called bodice, to hold the belt rib
bon on fiat. These clasps are de-
signed to be worn at the back, al
though many girls will wear them in
place of the regulation belt buckle, and
will fasten the ribbon under them in
'front.' They come in steel and gold.
Another pretty fashion in belts is a
girdle of homeric metal with medal
lion clasp, on which some classic fig
ure in gold stands out in bas relief on
the darker background. Under the
belt, which is spiral, there is colored
elastic, to give increased body. These
belts will be found becoming to slen-
der girls.

Have Done More to Suppress Crime
Than Any other agency.
New Orleans Times-Democrat: 81 see
some fellow is going to start a paper
that won't print any reports of crime"
said an old detective. HE thinks such
news is immoral and harmful to the
public, and if he was in my line OF
business l dare say he would change
his mind. The old-time professional
crooks who went in for big game have
ceased almost entirely to operate, and
it is very seldom that one hears of a
great bank robbery, burglary on a
large scale or a confidence game in
volving more than a few hundred dol
lars. In my opinion this Is due en-
tirely to the newspapers. When a big
crime is committed it gets wide pub
culated all over the country and the
public generally is put on the alert
This greatly increases the chances of
catching the criminals, and has made
such jobs SO dangerous that, as 1 said
before, they have been practically aban-
doned. The newspapers have undoubt-
eddy broken up 'bunko' and other dan
gerous confidence games that used to
gather in thousands of victims every
year. They did it by exposing them
SO thoroughly that at last it became
next to impossible to find a sucker
who wasn't posted in the scheme from
top to bottom. Not long ago I was
talking to a chap who used to be in
the green goods business in New Jer-
sey. He cursed the newspapers very
bitterly and declared they had taken
the bread out Of his mouth, to say
nothing OF the Perfecto cigars and two
bit whisky he formerly put into it. I
am absolutely certain that that gentle
man would cordially indorse the new
journal without any criminal items
gathered from what he said that he
regarded such news as highly damag-
ing to commercial interests
