Parliament TO Make Provision for
the Royal Family.
London, April 4.The report OF the
committee appointed to consider
changes in the civil list recommends
that the list be fixed at R47O,OOO. The
net increase is G67. 900, as follows: Pri-
w purse, s110,000; salaries of the
household and retired allowances,
el25,0O0; expenses of the houshold,
e193, 900; works, 10000; royal bounty,
aims and special services. s13, 900: sun
dries. $4,000. The report recommends
an annuity of 10000 to the duke of
Cornwall and York; 100000 to the duch-
each of the kings daughters. The
queens annuity, in the event of her sur
viving the king, is increased to 10000
and an annuity of 100000 is provided
for the duchess of Cornwall and York In
the event of her surviving the duke
Labouchere, the sole signatory to the
minority report, thinks no increase is
necessary.
In piquant paragraph he says: The
committee did not deem 1t within the
scope of the inquiry to consider whether
a continuance of the pomp of pride and
ceremony of the court Is desirable Sug-
gestions have been rife that the cost OF
living has gone up among the Weather
classes since her late majesty ascended
the throne. This idea Stems to be due
TO the present ostentatious expenditure
of some of those who have suddenly ac-
qnired large fortunes. But your COM
mittee does not believe the sovereign
would desire to enter into monetary
competition with such persons or en-
courage by his example such vain-glor-

I'll. Rest of Reasons.

AS soon as there comes n suggestion
OF freshness In the air there is an eX-
cusc for the smartly gowned woman
TO swathe her throat in some one OF
the many pretty and becoming boas
she is so fond of wearing. For some
occult and feminine reason she does not
consider her costume complete without
this finishing cGncvit-a conceit which
goes through slight changes with the
coming of each season. but which In
the end is mass of soft and fluffy
chiffon or lace of color that sets on
Il the best advantage n woman's fea-
lures.
1t is not so much on account Of the
warmth possessed by these airy ac-
ccssories that they are so well liked,
nor for the comfort OF having some
thing high at the back Of the neck.
though it is fact that after once
wearing ruche or boa woman
doesn't feel quite chic IL she appears
on the street without one. The real
reason they are so popular-if you
could get woman to explain her very
evident fondness for boas and other
neck creations-is because they add to
the attracuveness of any face, be It
young or old.

Everything in dress seems to
smack OF the automobile these days,
and now We have have automobile
yelling, which Is much heavier than
chiffon yelling and finished with
hemstitched edges. says the New York
Sun, Besides looking very nice it has
the virtues OF being durable and OF be-
Ing a protection for the complexion.
One little shop on Fifth avenue has
brought ont this novelty together with
many others OF the more fancy sort.
For the women do not mind spending
hundreds of dollars for yelling in one
season. there is a chiffon veil hem
stitched all around by hand in the
daintiest manner. Many fancy effects
on white mesh yelling are made by
using large fat dot of white chenille
with the tiniest little dots OF black
chenille half way around II. Again
there are punches of grapes In white
chenille dots with little coil of stem
done in black silk thread. The newest
thing in colored chiffon yelling has a
medium large dot Of velvet matching
the color on one side and white on the
other.

UNDERTAKER'S ENTERPRISE.
Ills Mysterious visit to n fifth Avenue
Hotel Clerk.

There was a much mystified clerk In
a Fifth avenue apartment hotel not
long ago. On the report of one of the
hotel servants telephone message
was sent one day to Police Headquar-
tors, and then to the station house Of
the precinct in which the hotel is sit
uated, saying that man had killed
himself in one of the rooms OF the
hotel Policemen were sent to the
place at once, and they speedily found
that the supposed suicide was merely
inlcliCd with liquor and DESTROYS of
being let alone for an indefinite period.
They forced him to go to his own room
and went away, after making their re-
port to the clerk. A few moments later
an undertaken came bustling up to the
'csk in the hotel Office and remarked
uhuerily that ne had come for the
body. The clerk asked him what body
aud he replied: why the corpse.
Friends OF the dead man sent me here
TO get the body" He was unable to
give the name of the dead man or Of
his friends, and the clerk sent
him about his business, but puz-
z,ed his own brain for consid-
cradle time to conjecture how the I'M
dcrtaker got word that there was need
for his services at the hotel, Had the
clerk been wise in all the devious ways
of graft in this town he might have
guessed the true explanation OF tho
mystery The particular sergeant on
duty when the message from the hotel
reached the station house has an I'M
dertaker on his staff, as the saying
goes, TO whom he gives early informa-
ton of opportunities for possible bust
ness. collecting therefor a suitable per-
centage on the undertaker's profits. He
had telephoned the undertaken this
time from the station house.--New
