Grand Duke Michael Hurries to the
Bedside Of His Brother-lIIness
Due to Frail Constitution, Worry
and the Unsanitary Condition of
His Palace.

London, Nov. 19.-The crisis in the
cars condition is now near. His
weakened condition and the accom-
panying danger of complications gives
cause for fear, and several of the most
eminent physicians in St. Petersburg
and Moscow have been summoned by
wire to assist the regular attendant
doctors.
Grand Duke Michael left Copen-
hagen yesterday morning. and is now
h%urrying to the bedside of his brother.
The czarina is bearing up well, but the
dowager empress is mute and depress-
el for lack of more favorable news.
A strange circumstance in the case

not made any appreciable deep i'm

many people in polite society do not
even know that the ruler is ailing.
Bulletins Peculiar.

that nothing would be done with the

in Outer World.
Just 500 years ago In a little house
within the garden OF St. Mary's chapel.
Westminster, and the sire Of English
poetry, Oct. rs, 400, was a day on
which a great light passed beyond the
ken OF men. Darkened for a time, Its
radiance has frightened and duffused
itself down the centuries until now 1t
Is the guiding star Of all who seek to
know our mother tongue. Chaucer's
verse marks an epoch in the English
language and literature, but strongly
as it appeals to the bookman. to the
antiquary. and to the thoughtful OBJ
server of those earlier conditions of
social life. its study is from a less sa-
lient point of view of almost equal
worth. Among the many critical
analyses which this anniversary calls
forth, a word may well be given to
Chaucer's poetry in its relation to the
fora Of England. Not only is living
therein the charm of English fields,
the song OF lark. the futtering leaves
and breath of meadow sweet, but
Chaucer. first, in some degree, gives
expression to that subjective pleasure
in the outer world so distinctively an
element in modern life, but hitherto
unrecognized in literature and almost
unknown to individual emotion. The
intellectual enjoyment of nature is
largely the outcome. the fine efflores-
cence, of scientific study. Slight trace
of its existence is seen in the older
classics. In Its more subtle phases.
even in Chaucer, the force is but mas
cent. The opening words of the Can
terbury Tales" tell how under the
q~uickening influences of spring,
'longen folk to go on pilgrimages," an
impulse which was chiefly a physical
eHhilaration. Chaucer was himself a
typical Englishman. with the love of
outdoor life p~ermeating his whole be-
ing. but the poets fancy touched to
finer issues that recipient tempera-

DRESS AND AGE.

Watering Places.
One of the features OF the season
at both English and French watering
places. ia the erasure of that line
which. In matters OF dress has hither-
to been drawn between the unQues-
tionably young and the Enthusiastically
mature. says the Lady's Pictorial. To
this favor We have been coming for
some time past: but now the step has
been finally taken. and the muslin
gown, the transparent blouse, and the
baby hat are alike worn by mandemoi-
selles of sweet seventeen and madame
of forty-five or more. Age knows no
limits nowadays. and it scarcely seems
strange Il us to see mother and daugh-
ter almost identically equipped.
That women are vainer. is not, per
haps. the fairest explanation of this
reckless disregard of what we should
once have considered conventiOnality.
Undoubtedly women of today give
more attention to dress. because. hap

choose and wear clothes. They keep
younger. too. by their method of life.
and whereas a quarter OF a century or
less ago the woman of fOrty-ive would
have looked absolutely ridiculous in
the costumes worn today by those Of
the same age, We take it as a matter
Of course not only hat women Of
that age are spoken of as youthful,
but hat they should also deem it I'M
necessary to adopt a style of dress
different from girls of half their age.
So long as a woman looks well in
white, and in daintily made gowns and
frilly chapeauX, then it is perfectly
legitimate and pleasing to the general
eye that she should wear them. When
those affect lambs clothing who are
obviously ancient sheep. they defeat
their own object and bring about their
W punishment. To give women
credit, they are generally wise enough
in these days. when Fashion and Art
do so much for them. to keep well on
the right side Of that line which di-
vides the effective from the absurd.
