REMARKABLE GILT SERVICE,
1t belongs to Mrs. Pierpont Morgan
and Cost $4,000

and Cost $4,000
Mrs j.. Pierpont Morgan is said to be the
only woman In this country who owns a
silver gilt dinner service. In Europe thew
are more frequently seen than silver or
gold services.
The cost of Mrs. Morgan's set was $50. 900.
1t was made in this country from special
designs and a vast number of men worked
Tor months in carrying out the order. The
dies were purchased by the owner, and
therefore the set cannot be duplicated,
There are 300 pieces; among the number are
four candelabra, four compotiers, twenty
four dessert plates, twenty-four finger bowls
and sufficient forks, knives. spoons and other
things to dine twenty-four people.
The center piece, which is, of course, in
tended for fruit or flowers, or both, is
ornamented with six cherub heads and a
Venus fourteen inches high surmounts the
whole. Cornucopias, from which flow the
fruits of the earth, are part of the scheme of
decoration.
The style of the service is Romanesque.
The reason for making 1t in silver gilt Is
that, while 1t has all the appearance OF a
gold service, it will wear longer made of
silver.

THE GIRL WITHOUT TALENTS.
Lives "A Life of FuIhIIment by ImprOv-
ing Her EXerydaN QuaIities.


MANY a modest, unselish girl, who does
not regard herself as remarkable either in
mind, appearance or manner, asks: Where
is there a place for a girl today who is
not beautiful or talented, who cannot play
or paint or sing. cannot permit herself to
write an essay for a literary club?'" says
Woman's Home COMPANION. For such
a one the history of an everyday girl who

material a wonderful life-fabric may be

Ihere are several interesting illustrations
OF the advanced new woman in Arizona, in
Guiding women ranchers. vaqueros, bank
cashiers, stable keepers and butchers, but the
one whose occupation most thoroughly in
%terests newcomers to the territory is Miss
Sarah NJ. Burks, a jolly, sturdy and brave
little woman about 20 years old, who carries
the United States mall over the star route
from st. Johns to Jimtown twice a week,
says the Philadelphia Press. The distance
from st. Johns to the end OF the route is
ffty-two miles and it requires a good deal
OF ut-heartedness and a dash of love of
adventure for any one to make the trip.
Miss Burks' mail route leads through as
wild and desolate a region as one can well
imagine. Rocky, barren, mountainous, bleak
and blasted are weak adjectives for descrip-
ton. What tiny streams there are are poi
soned with alkali. Navajo Indians, and oc-
casionally an Apache who has lett the res
ervation, are somewhat plentiful in that re-
gion, but white men very seldom go there,
and then only to get the gold. silver and
copper which have been literally strewn
throughout the blighting, fierce region.
Nothing in the way OF vegetation can
grow there.
Along the western borders OF this d~esolate,
uncanny wilderness Sarah Burks rides twice
a week. Generally she Is alone. She says
she is a fatalist, and, no matter how much
danger may environ, she will not come to
her death until the appointed hour. She is
always armed, and when a mere child she

that she had a sort Of partnership in the
achievements of those whom she helped.
Let 1t not be imagined that she had never
experienced a regret that she had herself
been overlooked In the distribution OF gifts;
there were bitter moments when she suf-
fered on account of the fact, but this was
before she had given herself wholly to the
purpose OF forgetting her loss and helping
others. As soon as this became a fact she
began to receive the blessedness of giving,
and the mental and spiritual enlargement
OF her comDensative worked itself out
wardly, so that she became a very attractive
person. Finally the prince came. and the
slipper fitted the stay-at-home sister, and
she became a princess before whom many
hearts bowed in the sincerest reverence"

The duchess of RoNburghe wears a tow
ering crown of diamonds which adds nearly
six inches to her height.
Our countess of Craven, formerly Miss
Cornelii Bradley Martin, wears a coronet
designed by her mother. Women who are
rich enough to afford such luxuries as
coronets often have distinct individual ideas
as to their construction and have them
made to order. The countess Of Craven's
diadem OF diamonds, each a fawless gem,
Is made in such a way that each stone
shows to the best advantage, being mounted
on a fine spiral OF gold wire, the whole sur
mounted on a crown of filagreed gold. IT
is said, by the way, to be worth $3.50, 900.

Since things a la Russo have become so
much In vogue, the grand danes OF Eng

fashioned entirely in Russian fashion. This
is a shape with which pictures of the
czarina have made us familiar. 1t is quite
high in front, sloping to the sides and
flares back. This style Of diadem is owned
by the Viscountess Hood and that English
beauty, Lady Warwick.
Sophie. crown princess OF Greece, has a
beautiful coronet OF turquoise and diamonds,
one OF her wedding presents from her
brother. the German emperor. 1t is COM
posed OF three rows Of turquoise, all superb
specimens of the gem, each separated from
the other by diamonds, a row of the latter
surmounting the other stones. The largest
Of the turquoise is pear-shaped and forms
the center of the diadem.
A great coronet was made for the
countess of Castellani by a New York lew
eler at the time OF her marriage. 1t is
magnificent, being one fiery and sparkling
mass of brilliants, each gem having been
specially selected.
Crowns galore flourish in our democratic
land, and there is said to be one billion

States.
Mrs. Sarah Whiting. who resides in Bos-

like a huge comb of antique fashion.
Mrs. William Starr Miller has a charming
circlet for the hair, formed entirely of dia-
mond stars, which glisten and glitter at
every turn of her head.
Mrs. George Henry Warren, jr., also bands
her head with stars.
Mrs, William Astor's tiara of diamonds
is famous; besides this she has innumer-
able combs set with diamonds, as well as a
small coronet for every day wear.
Mrs. John Jacob Astor's tiara Is entirely

which she sometimes wears coiled in the
bright strands OF her hair. and again you
