"a POOR RELATION"

The Sol. Smith Russell play that will
be seen at the Auditorium at an early
date, is one of those comedies that will
live for years because there is nothing
vulgar, crude or coarse in it. nor melo-
dramatic clap-trap. 1t is simply a
wholesome, heartsome play. A story
from life in which the characters are
human and natural. Would that we
had more such attractions as "a Poor
Relation" come our way They are
few and far between.

Sir Isaac Heard, Garter King-at-Arms

existence was not known to the earlier
biographers of Washington, and Jared
Sparks spent much time in a discus

this interesting autographic treasure.
1t is a find" which should have place
in the Boston Public Library, but IL
may command greater price than the
library can afford to pay.
1t is not often that anything of this
kind can remain unknown for hun

contains all these letters and manu-
scripts, however. together with such
other matters as seven colored draw
ings of coat-of-arms from the tombs of
Washington's ancestors, clippings from

valuable data. remained in possession
of family in England until very re-

Probably more has been written
about Washington genealogy thar
about any other in this country. Wash

the middle of the sixteenth century,

Some of the extracts from the Wash

to show it's character. The Father of

MADAGAscAR,s Ex-aUEEN.

France has much to blush for in the
treatment which has been accorded to
ex-Queen Ranavolo of Madagascar.
Though the queen was removed from
the capital with little ceremony after
the conquest of Madagascar and sent
into exile at Algiers. she was allowed 20
take with her a small retinue Of native
attendants. She was deprived one by
one of these attendants until there was
left TO her only one, an old dignitary Of
the court who took the Office of inter-
prefer. for Ranavolo, though she speaks
English, knew no word of French. Now
they have sent the interpreter back to
Madagascar and left the queen alone
with her guards.
It has been decided that she is never
again to hear her native tongue and
never aCain to see one Of her own race,
though France has wrested from her
her ancestral domains. and she is help
less in the hands OF France. Her posi-
ton seems TO cali for some of the pity
which the French have been offering so
literally TO Kruger. Her guards at AL
giers are all about her house, and she

NEW THINGS TN DRESS
AS SEEN BY
DAISY MAY.

I cate the elegancies of the matronly tot
let
Both hats. caps and gowns SAVIOR OF
1 the artistic world, with Greenaway and
/ liberty effects instead of Romney-
! esques. It will be seen that the spirit
Of extravaganza has permeated the
nursery atmosphere when it is noted
that girls tailors' are the latest addi-
ton to the ranks of indispensable serv-
itors of style. A few years ago WON
en- tailors' were exceptional; today
they are as numerous as dressmakers.
This fact, together with the departure
already mentioned, signifies long life
for the tailor gown and a closer kinship
between the big and little editions of
the same.
This condition is especially noticeable
in the matter of wraps. Velvet and fur
are to be the component parts of a
handsome coat for a tot years old, on
which may be observed large lace Gov
cred revers, a three inch band Of chin
chilla set off by crystal buttons and
the general air of a. favored long coat
model for grown ups. Another fasci-
mating CONNECTION is of embroidered vel
vet trimmed in sable and old yellow
lace. A strihngly pretty scarlet coat,
approved at a glance, has collar and
fat pointed reyers Of ermine which is
so disunctively q baby fur, though
among the most expensive on the mar
ket. Plain cloth coats are strictly tai
Tor made, with stitched pocket flaps,
nicked corners and bone buttons adding
to the smart ensemble.
The same liberty accorded mother in
the matter of hats is allowed the little
ones; therefore we see the fattest of
pancakes, tilted to the left, and others
that are shaped like a tin cup or a
yacht. A perfect forest of ostrich
feathers appears on some, while others
are trimmed in chiffon rosettes, stip-
pied wings or stiffiy wired taffeta bows.
So much for hats and wraps.
