solving the Servant Question.

The little woman with the high fore
head and the eyeglasses was laying
down the law to her callers. They all
seemed impressed. This may have
been a poIiteness felt to be due to the
hostess. Again, it may have been hon
est. All things are possible where wo-
man is concerned. At all events the
woman who was at home was ex-
pounding with much force.

have tried the 81 place, the 81 place
and the So place, and except for a diff
ference in surroundings the places are
identical.
There ought to be law passed re-
stricting each individual intelligence
office to a particular class of servants.
This would not hurt the business of
the proprietorS. 1t would help the
housekeeper. For instance, l would
license one place to provide German
servants, another for Irish girls, a
third for the Swede, fourth for the
negro, with her knowledge of southern
cooking; again, a place where Chinese
help might be had; then place for the
American born domestic. l tell you
this system would be hailed with de-
light by a long suffering public which
worries along with anything the office
sends up in acknowledgment of the fee.
Further than this, l would Subdi-
vide the nationalities, allowing one Of
fee to deal in cooks, another in cham
bermaids, third in nurses, another in
housemaidS, etc. BY this means a wo-
man might go direct to the place licens-
ed to supply the domestic article OF
which she was in need, and her time,
the time of the help and, the time of
the proprietors of the offices would be
saved.
"There is another thing 1 would in
sist upon, and that would be the ap-
pointment of some efficient woman to
act as overseer of all these places. We
have special attorney generals for the
metropolitan district, special excise
men, special examiners of almost every
known description, but no expert to
visit intelligence offices and see that
the law is being carried out to the let
ter. There hasn't been a change in our
employment agency laws since 1891,
and we've become sensible to a good
many needs in the last ten years. Will
you help me legislate for this improve
ment"
The callers politely said they would.

Almost at once the Hon. Dorothy was
selected as a maid of honor to the
queen, and quite as promptly was her
sister pronounced by competent judges
to be the fairest nymph of every social
gathering she attended. 1t was not
very long before the opinion of the So
cial powers was ratified by the artistic
side Of London, and the Hon. Violet
very evidently supplied valuable inspi-
ration for one of the most successful
pictures that hung in the Royal acade-
my last spring. A famous American
portrait painter has frankly said that
had he the peculiar gifts of Sir Joshua
Reynolds and were lie a struggling art
iSt he would win immediate recognition
by painting this young lady's portrait
AS it is she has been compared to most
of the famous beauties immortaliZed
on canvas and has been acknowledged
as the heroine of more than one novel.
For, allied to her poetic beauty, Miss
Vivian possesses as well a pretty wit
softened by extreme sweetness of ma
ture, and because of her very obliging
disposition ana the desire of dowagers
to earn large sums of money at their
charity baZaars she is pursued with re-
quests to serve as flower vender, stall
attendant, indeed in any capacity
where beauty will serve as a conspicu-
Gus attraction, not only to appreciative
SWANS, but equally enthusiastic wo-

Hair to BE Dressed Low.

In Paris, whence the fashions come,
the women are wearing their hair
dressed low on the nape of the neck,
and it is predicted that before long
the chignon will be back again. The
proprietorS of the hairdressing estab-
lishments settled it. They held their
annual meeting and dinner not long
ago and decided that the low style of
hairdressing should prevail. Each year
in this way the lords of the brush and
the curling tOngs set the fashion in
hair, and usually their edict is obeyed
till year later they amend it and set
n new standard.
But this is in Paris. 1t is predicted
by hairdressers here that it will be
some time before American women
who are devoted at present to wearing
their hair high comply with the de-
cree. Whether the hair is dressed high
or low, however, it must be beautifully
waved and must be dressed with care
less grace, so that it may look as if
it could be easily shaken down were
the wearer to jump about very much.
About this there will be no difficulty,
as the fashion has been tending in that
direction already.
A new ribbon loop couture is being
successfully introduced by fashionable
hairdresserS, and this is how it is ar
ranged: Wave the hair all around the
head and gather lightly on the top,
fastening with tape or string. Divide
the hair into strands and form into
loops or puffs by doubling over the
open hand and securing to the main
fastening. Curl the ends and arrange
around the loops, which may be made
to stand upright or may be spread
out in Alsatian effect.-New York Sun.

A "Frea1s BOOK the Latest.

The latest fad of the eternally invent
i've feminine is the freak" book. The
idea has been introduced to polite Soci-
ETY. by little woman who recently at
tended a reunion of southern folk in
New York and who happened to men
ton her possession in connection with
some incident of her childhood recalled
by one of the company. This led TO ex-
plantations and wholesale demand by
the other women to see the novelty.
They saw it, and since then they have
all started limitations of the book.
The freak book is a book of life. 1t
may be worked up from the start of an
ordinary scrapbook provided it be Of
large size and have its pages set rather
wide apart in the binding. y brief de-
scription of the original freak book will
give a pretty good idea of the spread
ing craze.
On the first page is pasted the first
picture taken of the owner, showing
her in her baby clothes, all eyes and
chubby face. 1t is not at all necessary
that the date of this picture be written
below it. The lack of this figure will
provide the owners friends with food
for speculation and thus enhance the
enjoyment of looking through the book.
a little lock of golden hair tied with a
blue ribbon is glued to the page and
acts as n reminder of the changing
power of time.
Then come various mementos of
school days, a bit of slate pencil tied to
a page, a copy of the first compost
tion," signature in a cramped, pains
taking hand, calling up visions of the
plump little fingers and the troubles
they had in making the pen do its du-
ties; after this boarding school remind
ers, photographs of her friends and of
herself in the gorgeous commence
ment gown" little sentiments in prose
and verse written by her fellows, a eu-
logistic account in the local paper of
the graduation exercises and the win
ming of medals.
Later the return home and the intro
duction to society, more newspaper
clippings Ghis time descriptive of her
coming out party''), cards of this and
that admirer long forgotten, a german
favor here and there, scrap of poetry
scrawled in masculine hand, a refer
ence to a trip to New York, tin horn
fastened in to bring up a night on
Broadway during election time, cab
alistic sign or two interpretable only
by the owner.
Further along an engagement an
nouncement, a page devoted to the
wedding, some faded orange blossoms
and rice grains scattered profusely
over page.
These are few of the entries in the
first freak book. The women who
are following the idea are developing

sends them into the arms of such a
beautiful creature as glories the poster.
From Germany, where poster print
ing has reached the height of perfec-
ton, some several thousand requests
for copies, and from France, England
and Russia too. So great indeed has be-
come the demand that the Pan-Ameri-
can management has ordered 100000
more of them to be printed.
Mrs. Cary is a member of the board
of woman managers of the Pan-Amer-
lean exposition, is chairman of the
committee on fine arts, and her name
is associated with all the art societies

She has been president of the Buff

Heroine of Many Novels.

The world is blessed with so much
feminine beauty today that young
woman must possess an uncommonly
fair face in order to inspire widespread
popular admiration with the adulation
of poets and painters. Perhaps since

with her youthful physical perfection
no like sensation has been known until

Givian and daughter of an ancient no.

The house of Vivian, old and very
honorable though it is, has not in later
times known great wealth, so that the

In the Queen,s Robes.

Many of the newspapers in their
references to Queen Eictoria's death,
says writer in the New York Evening
Post, have mentioned as one of her
best known portraits that painted near
the beginning of her reign by Thomas
Sully for the st. Georges society of
Philadelphia. A letter written by q
daughter of Sully in 1888 tells the sto-
~ of the last sitting for this picture,
including perhaps the only case in his
tory where an American girl person
ated a queen in the queens own pres
ence and by her consent. 1t seems
that Sully wished to have the royal
jewels to paint from, and the queen
kindly proposed to put them on. But
he protested that the sitting would be
too long and tedious and suggested
that lie be allowed to bring his daugh-
ter as his model. The queen assented,
and the next day he brought Miss
Blanche Sully to the palace. They
were ushered into a room where, near
q window, was a dais covered with
crimson and the queens throne chair
of crimson and gold mounted on it.
One of the ladies in waiting helped
deck the young American girl in the
diamond earrings, the collar of st.
George and the other jewels and pose
her on the throne. A moment later
Queen Victoria appeared.
