To Freshen the House.

A few drops of oil of lavender in a
silver bowl or ornamental dish of some
kind. half filed with very hot water
and set in the dining room just before
dinner is served gives a delightful and
intangible freshness to the atmosphere
of the apartment. Hostesses often put
a small vessel in the parlor and dress
ing rooms when arranging the house
for a festivity. The suggestion is es-
pecially valuable to the hostess in a
small apartment, which sometimes in
the hustle of preparation becomes

"for he doesn't pay for it here" The
bartender agreed that such base con-
duct on the part Of the guest must
be the explanation. But it wasn't.
The guest had ordered drinks to his
room, paid for them, and acquired
degree of cheerful inebriety legitimate

had made a considerable profit.
The boy himself was in the liquor

their fortunes.

At a little uptown hotel last winter
there was a waiter who was an oyster

Royal supper TO Actresses.
Six golden-haired footlight nymphs
were at the table at the appointed
hour, and it is said that their enter
tainment lacked nothing in royal hos
pitality. There was wine and crystal

Some Modern Precedents.
In our own time, there is King Leo
pold of Belgium, whose favorite relax
alton is to disguise himself as com
mon" person and frequent the Partisan
cafes with the particular lady of the
moment. For a long time, she was
Cleo de Merode.
King Milan of Servia was a more
notorious example because he was
quite careless of public opinion. Be-
sides, he carried his eccentricities
quite too far even for royalty.
Other affairs of the kind have been
more respectable in the sense that
they have not acquired so much pub
licity of detail. Lord Sholto Douglas,
son of the Marquis of Queensberry,
married a concert hall singer out in
our woolly West
The King of Greece is almost al
ways entertaining one or two comic
opera companies in Paris or elsewhere,
and it is rumored that he intends to
organize a theatrical syndicate.

Belle Hilton, once an ornament of

ceremonies.
Marquis Fond of Actresses.
The Marquis of Anglesey is so much
devoted to the ladies of the stage that
he recently had an entire company at
his castle in Wales, where they held
carnival for several weeks. The Mar
quis is himself something of an actress.
He frequently took prominent parts
in the festivities, dressed in feminine
garb, and the cables said that he was
very charming.
Then. there is Edna May, lately of
New York, now of London. So many
royalties and nobilities have paid their
devoirs, usually accompanied by dia-
mondS, to Edna that they can scarce
ly be counted. She is now captor of
the heart of a hereditary Indian
Prince, who is quite young.
These are only a few of the more
conspicuous cases, but they are enough
to justify the course of Grand Duke
Boris of Russia, in his own opinion,
always supposing that he is looking
for justification.
