At a meeting Of enthusiastic Scotch

the Thistle Society Of Wheeling was
organized. To quote from one OF the
members, the society will I'LL long felt

CRUEL EMPRESS OF CHINA.

The Dowager Empress of China,
Tsi An, who is charged with being
responsible for all the trouble there
now, is by birth the daughter OF a
Manchu noble, who, becoming
bankrupt, sold his daughter. as is
the custom there, to a wealthy
merchant of Canton. When in I848
Emperor Hien Fung issued the
usual proclamation wherein all eli
eible maidens of Manchu descent
were requested to present them>
selves at the imperial palace at
Pekin with view as to examina>
ton for the position Of imperial
concubines, sort Of civil service
examination, Tsi An went to Pekin
and was among the first ten to pass
a satisfactory examination. She
became elevated to the position Of
an imperial concubine, in which
she made herself in short time
indispensable to the empress and
through her to the emperor him
self The empress being without
male issue, Tsi An played trump
card when she presented son to
the emperor. For this she was
proclaimed empress of the West.
the other being the empress Of the
East.
Emperor Hien Fung died in 1860
and Tsi Ans son became emperor
under the official name Of Tung
Chi. The government, however,
was conducted by regency cons
sisting OF the two empresses and
Prince Kung, the boys uncle, and
it is admitted that the regency was
conducted with great ability. Re-
lations were opened with European
governments and many reforms in
stituted. In all of this Tsi An
took a very prominent part. In
1874 Tung Chi. then I9 years old,
conceived desire to conduct at
fairs himself, whereupon his mother
Tsi An, had him promptly remov>
ed by the use OF poison. lung
Chi left wife and child, and Isl
An had these disposed Of in sim
liar manner. Kwang Su, a child
a years old, was then proclaimed
emperor, and shortly after that
Tung Kung. the empress of the
East, the wife OF Hien Fung, who
died in 1860, was removed by pois>
on also. From that time forward
Tsi An was the whole thing, hav>
ing accomplished. it is charged
against her, what she aimed at from
the very day when in IS4S she was
admitted to the palace as one of
the imperial concubines. e
Kwang Su, now a man, was for
a period the emperor in fact, but
only for a short time, for as soon as
he ran counter to the intentions OF
Tsi An he had to fly for his life.
He tried to escape from China, but
was captured and has been held a
prisoner ever since by Tsi An. Be-
ing a Manchurian, Isl An is hated
by the Chinese, and there being
too many of them to have them all
killed by poison, Tsi An is suspects
ed ofhaving instigated the Boxer
rebellion in order to get rid of some
Of her most bitter enemies. Des-
pite the numerous executions which
have taken place under orders OF
Tsi An-every influential friend OF
the emperor having been behead-

and threaded diamonds. a. device that
keeps the collar perfectly immovable
and makes it fit the neck exactly. 1t is
also stated that single diamond mar
quise ring is the kind smart women
covet, since to cut one stone into this
shape is much newer and handsomer
plan than to use several small stones
to build it up. Some fashionable Eng
| lish folk pretend to like creole earrings,
though others think they become very
few faces and threats. There are plain
gold ones, too, besides those studded
with DEFENDERS luck bringing stone, the
turquoise, and others which are limpid
circlets of diamonds, with a pendent
| pearl and diamond set fexibly among
them. The earring fad is not destined
to become popular one, however, as
| the fashion is semibarbaric.
| Despite protest. wonderful effects are
being produced by means of plaits now.
The skirts of some of the latest frocks
are plated not only at the back but
all the way round. These plaits are
stitched down close for some distance.
Thus the hips are quite as tightly fitted
! as they were, though the plaits are
then allowed to flow out freely to give
width where it is needed. Tailor
made walking gowns particularly lend

themselves to this form of adornment.
Worth has actually sent to one of his
smartest clients a gown plated, or,
rather, gathered, all the way round the
back and on the hips-precisely like the
peasant frocks of Is years ago. But
there are less extraordinary applica-
tions of the plat. One gown described
to me (the work of a tailor in Vienna)
had three broadish plaits down the
back from a yoke of some kind, nodded
closely to the figure en- princesse, while
the front left such seventies alone.
Across this was drapery carried over
from right to left, forming on the skirt
kind of Topped up tunic. On the bod
ice appeared the new old handkerchief
corner effect that is so pretty. This
was threaded through big, dull, silver
buckle. The color of this gown was
palest banana, and the cloth was as fine
and clinging as cotton Grape. There
were deeper yellow cuffs, and chiffon
boa and cap to be worn in alienation
with a flower toque and muff. These
last We're curious masses of black and
white violets, the black forming thick
borders to the white centers. Still
more curious was the violet toque by
reason of single scarlet poinsettia
which arose from one side as though 1t
had grown there by mistake.
The newest restaurant dress is the
smartest thing possible in black NOUS
seine de sole over white. There are
leaf shaped embroideries in black and
sparkling crystal fringes, with now and
then glimmering of sapphire blue.
This frock is made quite high at the
throat, with bolero bodice and close
fitting elbow sleeves.
Alternate strips of braid and Jet or
steel beads on mesh make a novel trim
ming which is much seen. The two go
together admirably and compose the
handsomest stoles and epaulet capes.
Black velvet and gold in like union
adorn some of the very newest theater
bodices. For those who must cover
their necks deep guimpes, met by net or
gauze folds, are desirable.

MoD1sH SUMMER SHORT JACKETS AND GOWN.

Irvine colored cheviot, sporting dou-
BILE collar, deep cuffs and a girdle Of
brown broadcloth. The erstwhile wheel
man will be willing to renew his alle-
glance to the sport merely for the COM
partnership of the fetching bolero bicy-
clist.
Still another variation shows a pro-
nouncedly pointed front fitting more
snugly than usual. Beneath it is worn
a plated mousseline blouse ornamented
in crisscross fashion by black velvet
ribbon. The broad turnover collar is of
ecru linen, and the crush belt and stock
are of the same mercerized material.
Pointed effects tend to make the figure
look slight always, and, when assisted
by shawl revers and flat lines, score an
even greater success
A vieux rose canvas gown aptly
demonstrates the bolero idea as adapt
ed to bodices. A tiny vest of white
mousseline separates the two jacket
fronts bordered by strips of oriental
embroidery. The girdle Of turquoise
blue meets the jacket ends and holds
them tightly in place, thereby preserv-
ing intact the tight fitting waist, which
in outline suggests a bolero. Two new
fashion features appear for the first
time in this costume. One is the bow
to the front; the other is the associa-
ton of both horizontal and vertical
tucks on the skirt
Among the fashion notes from abroad
find few of interest. Assertive pas
tel tints are out SO far as cloth cos
tunes are concerned; strong colors,
such as bronze and zinc. are used in
stead. Muslins and linens are the prop
err fabrics for delicate tints like coral
pink and the pale puppies and blues
| These will be lovely with lace inlets or
overlaps. Pastel Irish linens are hugely
popular.
Sack coats of tartan cloth are taking
the place of plain red golf coats. The
highland regimental plaids are the
ones to choose. OF course, nothing bla-
tant is required-just subdued green
or scarlet tartan, with a little gold
about it in the form of a tab braid and
the addition of small gold buttons per-
chance. This is the latest contribution
to the fashions the war has created-a
refined allusion to it as contrasted with
the pronounced one khaki color is MAX

The recent death of Mr.. Lowe will
eliminate the president of the Fedora
ton of Women's Clubs from considera-
ton as social factor. Mrs. Lowe is
resident of Atlanta, Ca, and has all the
advantages of good birth, tact and
beauty characteristic of southern wo-
men of the better class. Her duty as
club official will make it necessary for
her to attend the women's meetings to
be held in connection with the Paris eX-
position, but during her stay in the
capital it is probable that she will live
in retirement.
There are many American women
married to French noblemen, and, while
only few of these belong to the Fau-
bourg st. German set, even those who
adorn more ostentatious, but less ex-
allied, circle are not likely to extend
much social recognition to their coun-
| try women. The Faubourg set includes
! the members of the old noblesse. de-
scendants of the Bourbon aristocracy,
and recognizes not at all the titles of
the Napoleonic era. Very few of the
| members of this circle have allied
| themselves with American dollars.
They live in proud aloofness from ev-
erything that concerns republican
France OF all the aristocracies in the
| world, it is one of the most difficult to
enter. The Duchess de la Rochefou-
cauld, who was Miss Matte Montgom-
cry of Louisiana, is one of the figures
in the Faubourg set. Her American
sympathies are few, and she is not
| likely to put herself out to any extent
for visiting Americans. Her sister is
the wife of the Count de Sully- Bethune,
another ancient family which has been
restored to prosperity by American dol
lars. Among other American women in
French society may be mentioned the
Princess Poniatowski, who was Miss
Elizabeth Sperry of San Francisco; the
| Countess de Trobriand, who was Miss
Mary Jones of New York: the Baroness
Fontilliot, who was Mrs. j. Field Of
Philadelphia; the Countess de Sores.
who was Miss Mary Niven, a step
daughter of one of the late Commodore
! Vanderbilt's daughters, and Comtesse

very few. The Countess de Sadoinede-
Babriac was Miss Florence Phalen of
New York; Natchez was the birthplace
Of the Marquise de Suarez d'Aulan,
wife of French cavalry officer; the
Countess de Avenel and Countess
d'Aramon are American by birth; the
Baroness de Baigne was Miss Amelie
3Urquhardt of New Orleans and is re-
lated to Mrs. James Brown Potter. All
of these ladies will entertain some of
the visiting Americans doubtless.
Probably the most generous hostess
will be the Countess de Castellane, who
was Miss Anna Gould In her magnifi-
cent mansion on the Avenue du Bots de
Boulogne, modelled after the Trianon,
Nine Castellane expects to entertain
her relatives and many American
friends during the summer. No one has
ever accused her of disloyalty to her
American friends, which is an exception
indeed with American women who mar
ry titles. Mrs. Kingdom, the mother of
Mrs. George Gould, is the guest of the
Castellanes at present.
One of the most notable figures in
Partisan exposition society will be, of
course, Mrs. Horace Porter of New
York, wife of the American ambassador
to France. Mrs. Porter is very nos
pitable woman, and her beautiful home
on the Rue de Villejust is admirably
adapted for entertaining.
Lovely Mrs. George Law, said to he
the most beautiful American woman
living in Paris, will be one of the nota-
BILE figures in social circles. She is said
to be the only American woman not
married to Frenchman who is received
on terms of equality in the salons Of
the Faubourg st. German. She is the
young widow of George Law, the New
York millionaire. Although she has
lived much abroad. she is we'll known
in New York society.

ONLY WOMAN IN OUR Army.

One of the most interesting PERSONAL
tiles connected with the war depart
ment is DR.. Anita Newcomb MCGEE.
who is at the head of the woman army
nurses and is an assistant to Surgeon
General Sternberg. DIR. MCGEE has the
rank of first lieutenant and is enti-
tied to wear shoulder straps indicative
of her rank, but she is averse to dis
play and is too sensible a woman to
permit the curious to annoy her.
DR.. MCGEE has the distinction of be-
ing the only woman officer in the United
States army service. There is no wo-
man officer in the navy. She is one Of
the vice presidents of the Daughters of
the American Revolution. One Of her
ancestors, General John Bull, fought
the British during the Revolutionary
war. Her father is Professor Simon
Newcomb, well known as an astron-
omer. and her husband is Professor w.
j. MCGEE, who has charge Of the Amer
lean bureau of ethnology.
DR.. MCGEE is 1.-THE, of middle height
for woman and impresses one with
her intelligence and command Of lar-
guage. She is a fascinating conversa-
tionalist.
She studied at Cambridge university
England, and at the University of Ge-s
neva. She obtained her first medical
degree from Columbia university at
Washington and took a graduate course
at Johns Hopkins university.

SHE LOVES THE LITTLE ONES.

F Mrs. Mckinley always receives her
guests standing. whether at a reception
or informal call. The pleasant greet
ing she always gives, however, places
her guests at ease. Mrs. Mckinley is
exceedingly fond of children, and many
are the incidents pleasantly related by
the small guests at the mansion. II
there are flowers near. she invariably
places one in the ehilds hand, with one
of her sweetest smiles, and there is no
doubt that the smile from the first lady
inSlthe land is oven more appreciated
than the rose she gives. Mrs. Mckinley
will stand out in history as the chll-
dren's friend on all occasions.
