a chnrmlng societx pnme.

Princess Dolgorouki has been seen
but little in London society this year,
this being entirely societys loss, for
her highness, both as Miss Fleetwood
Wilson-'the most popular spinster in
London" according to the dictum of
very high personage-and as the wife
of an accomplished and genial Russian
potentate, has held Il unique position i'll
the great world. Many interesting gath
erings have taken place in her London
house. 1t was from thence that was
married the lovely elder daughter of
Colonel and Mrs. CORVALLIS West to
Prince Henry of Pless. and by a curl
GUS coincidence Miss Fleetwood Will
sons own engagement to continental
prince was announced shortly after
The double wedding-for in addition to
the ordinary church marriage cere-

Russian embassy an immense
amount of talk and interest, and great
pleasure was felt by the brides friends
when it became known that she by no
means meant to abandon her native
land.-London Sketch.

what society cal1s Fun.

Formal lawn or garden parties, with
music and refreshments, no longer APP
peal to the taste of the smart element,
who despise anything tame and deem
it "a bore" So it has come to pass that
Newport has struck out into new paths
and given three decidedly novel enter
tainments-a lawn circus, a vaudeville
lawn show and an animal drive. The
first two are in professional ways fa-
miliar, but the third needs a word or
two by way of explanation. Guests are
invited one week in advance, with the
request that those inclined shall bring
with them a small biped or quadruped,
which they are expected to drive round
a fixed distance within certain time
and space limit. A judge and umpire
are to look after the merits of the race
and afterward award prizes. Each
guest is to furnish q bolt of narrow
ribbon for reins, the women to fetch
delicate. white and gold sticks, the men
to carry light, leafy switches. At the
start the fun is highest, when a tree
crawling turtle tries to overtake
guinea pig and a motherly belaced and
beribboned hen tries cakewalk with
a pompous bejeweled gander Timidly
the pet lamb fights shy of "Pretty
Poll" while in tight squeezes some
fearless little pup scoots off and takes
the first prize. York Commercial

The insect plaques of summer are no
matter Of jest. Man must strive with
them as he strives against the other
hostile forces of nature. He must fight
the Hessian fly or the wheat crop will
not be garnered, he must fight the wee

he must fight the army worm or the
cattle will starve in the pastures, he
must fight the tent caterpillar and the

press is now forty-three years old and
has been always noted for robust
health and strong constitution. She is
an excellent horsewoman, reared to
that exercise from her girlhood, and
finds more delight in cantering upon
the back of a spirited horse than in any
other out of door recreation. The en-
press is the mother of seven children,
the eldest of whom. Prince Frederick
William, is heir to the imperial throne.
OF the six others five are boys. The
youngest child is the little Princess Vic

From transparent gowns to furs is a
far cry seemingly, but the season of
the one is the season of the other, and
the wise woman does not wait until
the snow flies to settle the question of
her winter wraps Fur garments of ev-
cry conceivable length will be worn
next winter. A little chinchilla coat is
made in the popular blouse shape. The
blouse is held in at the waist by a belt
of suede leather. The full bishop sleeves
are also terminated by band of suede
at tie wrists. The use of the suede is
an excellent idea, since it does away
with the clumsy effect of the fur blouse
as ordinarily made. A long paletot of
sealskin which reaches quite to the bot
tom of the skirt and is worth a kings
ransom is the other extreme in the
length of fur garments. The cloak is
faced with beautiful sables, and with
1t is carried an immense "grannie"
muff. Between these two extremes is
a three-quarter length coat of sable.
The revers are very large, and the
sleeves are in bishop shape.

Amateur Gir1s, Band.

The Kansas Girls band Of the little
town Of Wetmore, Kan, which is com
posed of girls from eleven to eighteen
years of age, recently made a journey
to st. Louis. Their playing was SO
greatly admired by the Modern Wood
men, society that was holding its
camp" there at the time, that they
gave a beautiful gold medal to every
member of the band.
The young musicians are all in the
public schools and play as amateurs,
not professionals. They wear natty
uniforms of blue and gold and look ex-
tremely military. There are twenty of
them, and they march on to the plat

THE WoMEN's CLUBS.

They Mean to Do.
Helen Churchill Candee discusses in
The Century the characteristics Of the
presidents of women's clubs and com
ments upon the field filled by these
organizations in the west
If any one should doubt the desire of
the small remote town to make itself
intellectually worthy let him read the
programme prepared for the winter
work of a club which occupies promi-
nent social position on the prairies of
the middle west. Here are some of the
topics for papers, all to be prepared
without the advantages of library,
either public or private, and with no
educational advantages beyond a local
newspaper: 'Was the Victory Of Wei
lington at Waterloo Triumph of
MediRvalism or of Democracy" rs
the French Republic or Ours the Best
Illustration of the Political Ideas Of
Rousseau" 1.-THE Race Problem Of
Southeastern Europe" 'The Pessi-
mism of the Russian Novel," ''Will the
Common Hatred of the japanese and
Chinese for the European Form a
Bond Strong Enough to Hold China
For the Yellow Man?" 'Will Christian
Ethical Ideas Be More Easily Grated
on the Cold Selfshness of Confucian-
ism or on the Self Respecting Ideals
of Buddhism"
Does not this illustrate the idea that
when an American woman determines
to do a thing she does it without stop
ping to inquire if it is among the pos
sibilities? How well she does it is an
other matter My recollection suggests
that in this case she laughingly eyaded
most of the questions and made up by
general cordially and light refresh
ments by no means a poor substitute
in border town barren of social life.
OF 200 clubs in New York state half
are literary. This spark from the log
of statistics shows the popularity of
the self culture club. There undoubt
edly is something in it which appeals
to the vanity which shapes our ends.
1t is gratifying to be considered cru
dite, to know a little more than your
neighbors do. 1t is like more sump-
tuous edition of the teachers mandate
in baby days, You may step up to the
head of the class"
And yet, Notwithstanding its popu
larity, an unquiet longing possesses to
some extent the club which hangs out
its banner for self culture bearing the
name of literature, art music or cur
rent topics, And this longing illus
trates the trend of the day in women's
clubs. 1t is longing toward practi
caIity. Altruism being the watehword
of the day and brotherly love an in
creaslng passion, women are not long
content to serve only themselves, and
so the clubs for self culture are feeling
restless STRINGS of wishing to do some
thing for the community. Fortunately
there are appropriate objects for them
all, and perhaps they will advance to-
ward these.
