Dish, So They Say.
Grand Duke Alexis of Russia is
very fond of fried potatoes, and dur
ing his recent visit to Paris he was
wont to buy few every day from a
woman in the street and to eat them
beside her stall.
The woman did not know him, but
as he paid her in princely fashion.
she was very anxious to find out who
be was.
Il can tell you who he is" said &
Reighbor one Gay. "He is Grand
Duke Alexis, uncle of the car and
one of the greatest men in Russia"
Utterly amazed, the woman asked:
I'm heavens name, how should l adj
dress him."
"Oh, call him Your .Excellency,' or
Your Royal Highness, was the an
swer.
The woman resolved to do so, and
the next day, as she was sprinkling
some salt over the smoking potatoes
which the grand duke had bought,
she said: 81 can recommend them to
your royal highness, for know your
excellency has never tasted better
potatoes"
The grand duke burst out laughing,
and paid more for the potatoes than

annoyed at finding himself recognized
and never returned to buy another
potato.

THE KISSING BRACELET

By the way, talking of bracelets,
have you heard of the kissing bracelet,
which has been very popular indeed
with the women on the statge, and is
growing in popularity with the women
in private life? The kissing Of the
hand Of women has increased a good
zeal on the stage of late, owing no
doubt, to the enormous increase in
costume pieces" in what that term
OF salutation is a necessity. Many
people kiss the bracelet, which has
thus got its name. The kissing brace
let really is a narrow thin gold chain
from which a medallion of some sort
is suspended, and 1t is by no means
impossible that the medallion may be
regarded as a sort of memento of the
salutation with the lips.

PREFERS CONVERSATION.

Queen Alexandra differs in one in
teresting respect from the late NOR
arch in that she takes little pleasure
in having books and newspapers read
aloud in her hearing. Queen Victoria
was herself a practiced elocutionist,
and she often gave kindly hints to her
young maids. Her late Majesty in
sisted, first of all, upon the clear pro-
nunciation of every consonant,, and
the clipping of the final letters of
words was repugnant to her keen
sense of hearing.
Sometimes a reader would fancy
that her royal hearer was dropping off
to sleep, but woe betide her IL she
took advantage of this superstition to
relax in her task. The Queen used TO
sit for an hour with the eyelids closed
for the purpose of resting the eyes.
But now and again she would inter
polate word Of appreciation, and 1t
often happened that the reading was
broken off for an interesting chat upon
the sentiments of the book. It was
usual for chapter to be tinished at
every reading. and before the next
chapter was begun on the following

A TRUE GENTLEWoMAN

Should never treat those whose posi-
ton is beneath hers scornfully;
nothing shows good breeding more
than unvarying courtesy to interiors
Should never mistake rudeness for
wit, nor make nukind jests about
faults and failings in others.
Should never omit to pay proper re.
spect to those older than herself
whose age demands consideration
from all.
Should never dress in such fashion
as to attract remark; quiet, tasteful
dress is a sure sign of a ladylike
mind.
Should never laugh or talk loudly
when in public places, which behavior
draws attention and comment, such
as true lady would be the last to
desire.-New York Times.

THE SUNBURNED FACE

The great temptation after exposure
to the heat and the probabilities Of
sunburn is to wash the face. Water
acts like a mordant to set the dye of
the sunburn. The complexion that
possibly might have escaped with
faint redness becomes scarlet and even
blistered after washing. Wipe the
lace gently with cold cream or with
ordinary sweet cream. and the effects
OF the sunburn will soon pass away.
