CURZON UNPOPULAR.

Social Happenings at the Vice Regal
Court.
LONDON, Nov 1S.-The gossips of

India, and even more deightedly about
the Misses Letter. sisters of Lady Cur
ZOn.

in India Wro,e to an intimate friend
of hers here, in a letter received this
week:
Lord Curzon is making himself an
awful nuisance in all sorts 81 little So

country, beyond any houses. Lord and

;ice of them. Lord Curzon at once sent
Tickshaw nan to learn from his syce
servant who the major was. Then the
major got an official letter asking why
he had not saluted
''Of course the major answered that
he had not recognized them, but when
he saw the rickShaw mems livery he
thought they might be visitors at the
viceregal lodge.
But wasn't it pre,ty sort of thing
for Viceroy 10 do? And he is con-
tlnually doing things of that sort.

take a series of boxing and wrestling
lessons. The lessons will begin as soon
as the Governor returns from his Bos-
ton and New York trip. They Will be
continued all through the coming ses-
sion OF the Legislature.
The Governor does not take up les
sons as an amateur. He believes in
athletics Of every kind and has boxad
and wrestled from boyhCod.
He believes his present physical in
activity Is not conducive 10 good health
and brain effectiveness. As a ccnse-
qusRce, ne has decided 10 take up a
complete course Of exercise for the
winter.
The action of the Governor IS said
to he significant OF his future dealing
with the proposed bill TO repeal the
Horton boxing law.
Assem- lyman-elect Lewis of Mon
roe county is the avoWed champion of
The anti-pTiZe-fighting contingent. and
he recently called on the Governor to
get hi INTO say he would back up the
bill repeating the Horton law which
legaliZes fist fights.
The Governor was nOn-cOmmittaI
but his manner indicated that ne was
too fond Of fighting himself to make
others stop.
While Governor Roosevelt was pass
ing through Springfield Mass. yester-
day an editorial clipping sharply criti-
cising him for not preventing prize
fights in New York was shown hirn. He
read it carefully and, as he handed it
back, said quickly and firmly:

are veined exactly like the natural ones.
If they are large, only one or two are

Winter Waists aud Bodices.

From the Ladies Home Journal.
Odd waists and bodices have come to
be an accepted and essential part of ev-
cry woman's wardrobe, so it is well to
hestow little thought upon the general
effect, and in selecting material AID
trimming to have those which match
the skirt in color. This applies to the
dressy bodice. A shirtEaigt in winter
is US Ially made TO wear with jacket suits,
and should contrast prettily.

Poe stood Alone.

In his tribute 10 the writer, Mr. Mabie
said: Poe stood alone among mis- con-
temporaries by reason Of the fact that
while his imagination was fertilized by
the movement OF the .ime his work was
not, save in its originality and beauty
representative of the forces behind IL
The group OF gifted men with whom he
had for the most part such casual con-
nections reflected the age behind them or
the time In which they lived; Poe shared
with them the creative impulse without
sharing the specific interests and devo-
tiOns Of the period.
He was primarily and distinctively the
artist OF his time; the man who cared
for his art and not for what he could say
through IL, but for what IL had 10 say
through him. Emerson, Lowell, Holmes.
Whittier. Bryant, Irving. and, In certain
aspects OF his genius, Hawthorne, might
have been predicted. Reading early his
tory in the light OF later DEVELOPMENT
their coming seems 10 have been foreor-
d2ined BY the conditions OF life on the
new continent. and later Whitman and
Lanier stand for and are bound I'D ln ths
fortunes Of rae new world and its new
order OF political and social lie Poe
not nave been fOreseen. This fact sug
gests his limitations. bur IL also brings
into clear view the unique inu.ylduaIiGy
OF his genius and the complete originalIty
OF his work.
