Chez Foo giving Admiral Kempff's

dispatch from his son announcing

OF Vice-Admiral Seymour who, with
the foreign ministers, was said to be
occupying a position 12ls miles from
Tein Tsin, where he was surrounded
and hard pressed by great force of
Boxers and Chinese regulars. Possibly

a prisoner and that the ministers had

Tolstoi's sense of Honor.

The family of Count Tolstoi has a
large circle of acquaintances, and
hardly an evening passes but there are
guests. At one music party lady's
singing displeased Count Tolstoi's
boys and thoy adjourned to another
room and made a noise. Their father
lost patience and went after them, and
a characteristic admonition ensued:

to the proselytizers, it may be said
that they try to convert old and young
alike, although they do not encourage
others than the young. and to some
extent the middle aged, to go to the
West.
Those whose attentions have been
called to the activity of the elders
among the servant girls and who have
investigated the matter find that while
their success is more marked among
servant girls than any other class OF
working women they do not confne
themselves to this one class. They
frequent the small stores where young
women are employed and seek to know
women who earn their own livings,
particularly the poorer paid wage
earners. Their quiet persistency, and
unvaryingly patient attitude toward
women, are aids to their success, and
they proselytize continuously. Some
of the elders have had the courage to
hand their pamphlets TO women in the
streets, carefully selecting the women
they accost.
The demand for house servants is
universal, and all over the country
complaints are heard Of the dearth
that exists. The Mormon elders have
worked so successfully that, it is as
serted, they are to be credited with
the changed conditions in domestic
service; and they have worked so
shrewdly that their proselytizing was
not noticed until it had made great
headway.
From England come fewer domes-
tics every season, and the work of the
Mormons in England is said TO be the
cause. Many English converts to the
Mormon Church pass through New
York on their way to Utah, but it is
becoming more difficult every day to
hire English servants New York

Froslss For weddIngs.

Decided originality is shown by
many of the frocks now in preparation
for weddings. Tue first one shown in
the large cut, reproduced from the
New York Evening Sun, is q wedding
gown in white satin. It's long tunic,
reaching clear to the skirt hem, is cut
into series of deep points finished
all around with frill upon frill in white
chiffon. A frilled and killed under
skirt in chiffon is revealed by the
tunic's points. The corsage consists
of an underblouse in killed chiffon
with bolero of the satin edged with a
chiffon frill.
All-lace wedding gowns will be popu-
lar. Here is one fashioned in fetch
ing way that can scarcely be improved
upon as a model for this sort of frock
in this sort of material Its founda-
ton, of course, is white satin, over
which is draped the lace. In this
case, the lace is Brussels of the finest
pattern. An edging of chiffon frills
round the court train is effective.
Chiffon frills also trim the corsage at
throat and the sleeves at wrist. Across
the draped front of thu corsage runs a
garland of orange blossoms.
The quaint touch impaired by the
fchu seems 10 be in high favor for
bridemaid gowns. Here. for instance,
is such a frock in white Liberty satin,
with yoke IN white elk guipure and q
tichu in white chiffon frilled all round.
At the waist is a broad sash with long
frilled ends in lily green chiffon.
