A TAILOR
MADE SUICIDE.

The new tailor gown came out Of its
box with a frou-frou which was dell
cious to the ear which suggested
most luxurious silk lining and an un-
fathomable depth Of dust rufile
Frances lifted the gown reverently
from its receptacle as woman VIII
with whom new gowns are a very un-
common sensation.
The friend who had been asked III
to see it put on drew in her breath
with a little gasp Of delight. What a
love of a suit!" she said.
She helped the happy possessor into
It with various approving little pats
and congratulatory smoothings. After
wards she took long, critical survey
There's no doubt of it. It's just a
supreme success" she said. The pale
gray Of that cloth is awfully effective
with your heavy bronze hair, and the
hang of that skirt is a perfect poem in
dressmaking. Look at that broad,
buoyant line across the shoulders. You
never had such line there before, my
dear, in your life"
Il shall always save up in the fu-
ture and bank up my money in few
good gowns, Frances said, with a rap
turous little sigh. "Of course, one is
tempted by the first cheap thing that
one comes across, but it pays to resist
them. A tailor suit of this kind is
worth ten of those dinky little cheap
affairs that never look anything and
that wear out in a month. ! don't be-
lieve I'll take it off now. l think I'll
wear it this afternoon"
The visitor laughed "Of course
you've got lot of calls" she said.
Fully two dozen. But how did you
know?"
'Oh, my dear, the woman who has a
new gown in the near future puts off
all calls until she gets her gown.
Haven't you ever noticed it? By the
time it arrives she may have fifty calls
laid up against her. For some women
stop calling fully a month before
there's a chance of a new rig. Why,
even a bonnet will postpone a call in
definitely, and own up I've often put
off an important one a whole week to
wait for a new pair of gloves that
were promised to me-"
"Well, I've been doing it, too, "
Frances admitted with laugh And

FOR THE PRINCE



LONDON, April 49, 1900
If it were a favorite pastime with the
American newspaper reader to pod through
the weighty reports Of the various branches
of the British government he might one day
be astonished and panied by alighting on
this offhand entry: Queens pipe. $40.
Probably his first sensation would be
twofold. a mingling of regret at learning
that her majesty was the victim of the to-
bacco habit and of surprise that no attempt
is made at hushing up the sad matter, in
stead of blazoning it forth as If it were a
source of national pride.
But his surprise over these two points
would be small thing beside that which
he would feel upon reai Zing the extent of
the sum apparently exhausted in crafty
ing the queens unfortunate appetite-s2O,
600 a year; If he looked again, to make
sure, his bewilderment would only be in
creased by the discovery that this large
sum was set down, not as an expense, but
as revenue.
AS matter of fact. 1t is a revenue. and
