HOW ENGAGEMENT WAS BROKEN
Archduchess Marie of Austria and
Duke Siegfried of Bavaria.

/. BERLIN, Aug. 6-The announce
ment of the breaking off of the en-
gagement Of the Archduehess Marie
Annonciades of Austria and Duke Sieg-
fried of Bavaria, made yesterday, was
accompanied by statement enanat-
Ing from the Bavarian court that the
betrothal was broken off by agreement
of both parties, but it is very well
known in court society that the arch
duchess took the first step. She Vis-
tied the Bavarian court after the be-
trothal had been arranged by her FAM
~ and the dukes, in June, and had an
opportunity to learn the dukes habits
and tastes.
The archduchess, who is a niece of
the emperor of Austria, is of a serious
n1editative disposition. She is reli
giously inclined, is interested in edu-
cation and is abbess of an institution
of young nobleWomen in Prague. The
many unhappy marriages in her fami-
ly doubtless, determined her to avoid
mistake if possible. 1t is said the
duke was positively repulsive to her
He visited Vienna at her request two
days ago, and she appealed to him,
without consulting her family, to
break the engagement, and he did so
without taking counsel Of his family.
The duke is the nephew of the late
Empress Elizabeth of u: AUSTRIA is
twenty-six years old; the same age as
the archduchess is volatile and fond of
sports and high living. Recently he
auctioned his racing stable because of
his debts and took a years fur1ough
from the ieutenancy Of a heavy caval-
ry regiment stationed at Munich.

Rainy DAYS in Paris.

1T is curious to note how much less
disagreeab1e wet weather is to French
women than it is to us. First and
foremost, it must be acknowledged,
this comes from having been inspired
with a knack of holding up ones skirts
with ease and daintiness. Although
it is now so fashionable to wear
f1ounced underskirts that nearly touch
the ground, petticoats that reach only
to the top of high boots have been the
rule, and on wet days these have been
reverted to.
When out walking, the Frechwoman
arranges her skirt, and then, with one
hand, or perhaps two, she lightly lifts
it so that it falls evenly all the way
round. This is where the knack comes.
TO haul up a skirt on one side and let
it sweep the ground on the other is
very natural, but it is not Partisan;
and when it falls evenly all round, and
the frills of the petticoat are almost,
if not quite, visible, the effect is dainty
in the extreme.
The small feet of the Parisienne,
always well shod as they are, of course
help in the effect; even when, as gen
orally the case, rubber overshoes are
worn, no sense of clumsiness is added,
but only one of comfort and security.

Cohen Cove grew Cold.

1t was Tuesday morning. The head
copy reader came hustling into the Of
flee and glared about him savagely.
Half a dozen Office boys, unused to
anything but mildness itself from
Street, beat a hasty exit.
"The new book must have been
thrown down good and hard" remark
ed one of them as he hustled out Of
sight.
The head copy reader sat down, and
apparently allowed his badly ruffled
temper to cool off for a few minutes.
Then he arose and walked over. to the
city EDITORS desk and in a confidential
tone said:
"My wife and I are not on good
terms. It's all off-and to think that
the whole thing was caused by blank
ety-blank old registered letter"
The unexpected announcement that
Street had had trouble with his charm
ing little wife was startling in itself.
For eleven years he had been married,
and so far as the world knew, not one
cross word had ever marred the happi-
ness of his little home.
"Why, what's it all about?" asked a
number of men who had overheard the
remark. AT first he was nom committal,
but finally he unbosomed himself as
follows:
Its this way" he said. "Only a few
weeks ago I completed my new book.
1t was in my publishers hands, and
naturally both my wife and I were
rather anxious. One day last week
friend of mine who has a country place
near Orange invited me to come out
and visit him. spoke of it to my wife
and she agreed with me that a days
outing would do us both good.
well, Saturday last was my day off.
so my wife and I hied ourselves
Orangeward. We had rafting fine
time up in the Orange mountains, and
we did not return home until late Sat

were naturally anxious to know what

and talked the matter over. The best
conclusion we could arrive at was that
it was from my publisher friend. Fin

Well Groomed New Yorker.

The New York woman does not ac-
count a half-dollar lost which has been
spent at the hairdresser's or the mani
curist's; she takes her &Slrkish bath

quite so regularly as she sends her
soiled gowns to the laundry or changes
her table linen.
Her collars and stocks cost more
than her Shirt waists. veil with a
hole in it is as abominabIe to her as
a bad reputation. my face is my
fortune, SIR she says, and she sees
to it that it is properly cared for and
is shown to the best advantage.
Herein she is wise. Of all the small
furbelows which make a girl worth
looking at those that surround her
dowerlike face are the most important
her stock, her hat, her couture and
her veil. Her longing to be lovely in
mems eyes should alone suggest this
to her.
Yet there are women all over the
world who seem never to be able at
any price to find a becoming hat, a
collar which will fit, veil which will
hide the brilliancy Of the eyes or a
style of arranging the hair which will
make it GROWING glory, says the
New York Press.

did either.
con Sunday [ worked, and I did not
have much time to think about the let
ter, but, just the same, I would have
been willing to part with ten-spot if
I could have had it. My wife had lots
of time to think the thing over on Sun
day and I guess she did some good
work in that line.
when I arrived home on Sunday
evening we talked about the matter
some more. She had an idea that it
might be from an uncle of hers-a rich
old man with whom she is a great ia
vorite. All sorts of conjectures were
INDUCED in by US until finally we went
to bed. I will confess I passed a most
restless night, and don't believe that
my wife got more rest than the law al
lowed.
''Well Monday morning came. 1 was
up first and waited around as long as l
could before going to the office. The
letter carrier, however, did not turn
up. You may have noticed that 1 was
like a man who was a little off his feed
around here yesterday.
About noon my Wife'S patience be-
came exhausted, and she went out and
inquired of the colored boy whether
the postman had been to the house.
Mos sure, he hab,' replied Sam.
He dun been here and gone again. He

no answer. He toted the letter away
with him again.
"Mrs. S. was mad clean through.
You know she is usually mild-tem-
pered woman, but this was an eXcep-
ton. 1t seems that the letter carrier
had rung the wrong bell. Tired of the
battling mystery, she decided to find
out just what had become of that let
ter, so she put on her wraps and trot-
ted off down to the postoffice.
''She went to the registered letter de-
partment and asked a clerk if he had
registered letter for Street. The clerk
waded through big bundle of letters
and then replied that he had no such

There are three ways of mixing the
banana in the batter as it can be cut
in quarters and dipped, cut in cubes, or
sifted through a strainer, and stirred
into the batter. There are also two
kinds of batter, one of which requires
little olive oil. The simplest way to
make the fritters is to sift two level
teaspoons each of baking powder and
sugar and one-quarter teaspoon of salt
with one cup of -four; add a beaten
egg, on-quarter cup of milk and a ia
blespoon of lemon juice. Cut two
large bananas into dice and stir into
the batter. Have kettle of fat as hot

Table Novelties.

A novelty in table arrangements
that is worth recording in these days
when any change from the regular
routine is a boon to both hostess and
guests, is the new fad for small bowls
with golden handles and covers that
are placed in front of each guest in
stead of soup plates. These bowls are
the daintiest things imaginable, in
Dresden, or Sevres, or any fine china,
and when the small lids are raised the
aroma of the consomme rises and the
dinner has made good start.
Another innovation is the fish serv-
ice. The forks are tridents, wider than
those we are accustomed to see pro-
vided with oysters, and the knives are
small scythes
In the plates, too, there is novelty.
for the fancy plate, that was once
deemed indispensable for fruit, has
disappeared from the We'll appointed
table and appears with the fish. But
Instead of fruit or flowers painted
upon the white china the fish course
demands trout or Holsters, sea
anemones or coral, or, in fact, any
product of the deep.

hours later the victim is in the
throes of a summer cold, which is not
only hard to get rid of, but makes the
sufferer doubly miserable when the
sun is beating down his fiercest rays
The better way to keep cool is to
render the body practically impervi-
Gus to heat. This may be done by the
proper attention to dress and the fol-
lowing of a few simple rules as to diet
and exercise.
In the early morning, after you find
that the heat of the day is to be in
tense, plan how you can best spend
the day in being serene and cool.
There are several ways to do this.
First try and help other people to feel
cool. You can aid them in this way
by dressing so you will look cool to
them.
