Il will admit that In this country one
may come across occasional youths
whose facial eaplllature is the envy OF
grown men less abundantly endowed.
but in all cases these boys are dark
haired. Now, in all my twenty years
experience as a barber ! never saw
whiskers, or the sign of whiskers, on
light-haired boys l6 years old. As re-
CARDS red-haired men, il has been my
experience that their whiskers are

EUROPES SMART SET.
Features of Society Life Among tbs
Upper Ten In Old Wor;a

The opening of the will OF Ire late
Niscount Bolingbrone, who diea in
England last November, discloses facts
that would make good basis for ;
dime novel.
Inc viscount was possessed OF con-
siderable wealth, To which everyone
Thought his cousin, st. John Canon of
Colchester, would fall heir Indeed
SO firmly did St John himself believe
this that he took mp his residence at
the house of the deceased viscount at
Ledyard Park, near rimidon
Not quite satisfied. however. the
family lawyer decided TO examine the
papers and records OF the estate pos
sibly with the hope OF finding a liberal
bequest to himself.
What he did find was a record of
the marriage of the vlscount on Janu-
airy 3, 1893, at the age of 10, to the
beautiful daughter Of one of his for
esters, Miss Howard, age 80 years. and
the further record Of the birth of two
children, one Of whom died but the
younger SON Vernon Henry. survived
his father and was, OF course, The
rightful heir to the estates. This nat
uraliy Initiated the claim of st. John
Canon, who was forced to retire in
favor of the baby. Vernon Henry.
SO well had the old viscount kept
this marriage a secret that not one of
his friends or relatives had any sus-
picion Of its existence.
Less than year ago the young
Duke de Vindellepont took his rich
American bride to Paris, where she
soon became a favorite in social cir
cles. Presently, however, she noticed
that she was Stunned by her friends
and found herself excluded from the
smart set.
She determined to know the cause,
and when a marquise with whom she
had been particularly intimate was
mot at home" when the duchess
called the young bride forcibly made
ing upon the marquise like whirlwnd
demanded to know the cause of the
social ostracism she was being visited
with. The marquise referred her to
certain young aristocrat, who had
made disparaging remarks, stating
that he had seen the duchess in a
questionable place and under circum-
stances which would make it mpossi-
Bile for her to be received in polite
society
1t finally transpired that there was
a dansuese performing at a third-cass
music hall who was the exact counter
part of the duchess, and in fact was
supposed 70 be the young American;
hence the gossip In reality the dan
seuse was an English woman who had
had checkered career, so much so
that the police thought it advisable to
Danish her from France
The affair would have ended here,
but the duke obtained information of
the matter and challenged the Offend
ing aristocrat TO a duel with swords,
the result OF which was that the duke
was severely wounded, perhaps fatally

HOW TO ARRANGE FURNITURE.

Worth Studying

worm oluuy IHS
Many women have a natural gift for
arranging a room, and may be called
artists IN the art. while others have
no idea at all, and their rooms, despite
| costly and really beautiful articles Of
furniture or ornament, are always
prim-everythlng is so very badly
placed.
table in a drawing-room should
never be in the center of the apart
ment Let it be pushed away, and the
chairs disposed in such a manner
that it may be seen that they are in
tended to be sat upon. Chairs placed
against a wall or rammed into corners
is an ugly and Inappropriate arrange
ment Have what the French call lit
tie establishments in the room if it be
large enough. For instance near small
or large tables have two or three
chairs or a chair and lounge, enabl-
ing those visitors, should several call
at the same time, TO talk comfortably,
which is Impossible if a large party
have to sit in circle and join in
general conversation.
A table upon which ornaments and
| books radiate in star-like shape is
very ugly Let the books and orna
ments be placed in studied careless
ness, and avoid primness in every way.
It is rather the rage in the present
day to decorate rooms with trifles.
This is mistake and often really
pretty ornaments are not seen to ad-
vantage because Of this. Allow SUI
icient margin of space between your
pictures and ornaments SO that each
may be properly seen.
\ superabundance of Japanese fans,
common knicllnacks, bits of pottery,
china animals. cheap frames and
gimcracks generally should be avoided,

! Cannot Leave Her

few days. He had deemed himself VOL

thought, with half contemptuous
smile, OF how easily they were under

aged; he wondered at the nonsense men
wrote and uttered about the impossible
lty OF understanding the fairer half OF
creation. But this young girl puzzled
MIN. She had met him and talked with
him; she had even answered some NJ
the passionate iove-letters he had writ
ten 10 her; but her proud, serene calm
face fairly puzzled him.
her face never changed its color for
MN, her eyes never drooped beneath
nus her hands never trembled when he
hela them in warm, loving clasp; she
had none OF the pretty shyness that he
thought belonged naturally to younq
girls in love; she did not seem Ia studv

done; she was kind gracious gentle

her dignitied calm. He Thought m,ch
