ALL HER PORTRAITS OLD ONES
The Empress of Austria Never Had
One Made After Her Beauty
Began to Wane.

When the empress of Austria was
murdered recently various portraits
of her were shown, but the last of
these was at least 20 years old. Two
reasons were given for her refusal to
be photographed in later life. One
was that she feared too general
knowledge of her features would de-
stroy her incognito; second was that
the loss Of her beauty was too great
modification for her to tolerate the
transfer of that to picture, says the
New York Sun. The change in the en-
press appearance was caused by her
grief and not by age. Her beautiful
chestnut hair was free from any trace
of gray to the last.
An admirer of the dead princess has
just made collection of her portraits
and he finds that since 1873 no picture
of her was made from life. Even the
paintings said to have been donefrom
life were in reality made from older
pictures.
One of the best portraits of the en-
press after 1878, when she refused ever
to pose again, was that made in 1877
by the artist George Raab. This is
the familiar portrait in full court
dress. 1t was her favorite picture and
she frequently allowed it to be copied.
| But she had never sat for it. All she
| did was to lend the artist one of her
court dresses. The face, was, of
course, copied from the photograph Of
1873.
When Adam, of Munich, wanted to
paint the empress In 1886 he persuaded
the queen of Naples to intercede for
| him. He was anxious to paint the en-
/ press on horseback. She was pleased
with the idea of the picture and the
artist had visions of sittings which
would enable him to make historic
portrait. But he had to be satisfied
| with her riding habit, her horse and
her dog, which she placed at his dis
i posal. He also used for the face the
photograph made 13 years before.
i In the same year profile picture of
Elizabeth was painted again on horse
back. It was asserted that the em-
press had posed for this picture, but
there was little foundation for the
story.
! The truth was that Spanish pho
: tographer one day succeeded in get
, ting a likeness as she stood in front
: of her hotel in Valencia. It turned
out to be very good likeness, in spite
of the circumstances under which it
was taken. The photographer was in
l cautious enough to exhibit an enlarge
! ment of the picture in the window OF
his atelier. The empress saw it,
= bought all the copies and notified the
$ police to destroy the plate. It is sup
I posed that copy of this picture may
8 have been found and used for the sec.
= -ond painting made in 1886.

THE GIRLS TOILETTE.
one of Her First Lessons sbould be
the Importance of Neatness
I'm Dress.

It takes considerably more time and
trouble to send girl out from home
looking neat and attractive than It
does to make boy look as well. A
boy has the advantage in the compara-
tive simplicity of his clothing and per-
sonal appointments. His hair by
few strokes of the brush can be made
nresentable in a moment, while girls
must be combed free OF snarls,
brushed. braided, curled or "done up
becomingly, all of which takes time
if it is done properly, says the Amer
lean Queen.
Then little fault in girls toilette
is more apparent and glaring than in
boy,s. His colors are somber and he
has no ruffles or furbelows, and if
button is off his coat or he has hole
in his coat sleeve very few persons
notice it. But if girls rnffie is ripped
off, her placket gaps, her plume out OF
curl, it is detected afar off and prob
ably commented upon.
So it behooves girl, while she is still
child, to learn the Importance OF
neatness. It is a little trouble, to bt
sure. but girl who is not clean ane
neatly dressed is sloven, and no one
likes to look at her. Her face may bt
pretty and her eyes bright, but If hel
clothing is in any way untidy, her hal
touzly, her teeth unsightly and he
finger-nails tipped with let, she vii
assuredly find herself passed by. bot
socially and industrially, in favor o
the girl who is plain but neat, trim AM
well-attended to personally.
| Take the trouble to be neat at al
times and you have learned one of tn
most important secrets Of success j
life.

PREHISTORIC COOKERY.
Great Ovens That Were Used by the
Early Inhabitants of the Salt
River Valley.

Just south of Tempe, in the Salt
river valley, Arizona, are found the re-
mains of extensive buildings, sup
posed to have been even larger than
the famous Casa Grande. They are
now but a mass of mounds, but the
foundations of one which has been
recently traced measures 275 feet in
length and 100 feet in width. Ex-
cavations have brought to light NUM-
Der of eastufas, or ovens. of such gener-
GUS dimensions that they must have
sufficed for entire cities. Several were
found measuring 16 feet in depth by
20 in width. Nearly all were lined
with copper carbonate ore, that has
fused in places, forming a metallic
sheet.
A study of the ground shows that
after the Goals had burned down,
they were drawn out, and the cavity
was practically closed. Into the hole
were piled the beans, the corn and
the mescal root until the top Of the
pile was level with the surface of
the ground.
Over all appears to have been spread
thick roofing of mud, quantity of
water being added before the es-
tufa was made air tight.
The mass was probably then all
lowed to cook for number of hours,
| something after the manner of q
| Rhode Island clambake.
It is further conjectured from the
corn found in earthen jars that after
being steamed the corn was then
1 dried to become the staple article
| of food for the winter. In the same
mounds were found number OF
stone metatis and grinders, showing
the primitive process of dwelling, and
a large variety of pottery, some III al

shape and decorations, the ollas, oi
water jars, closely resemble thos'

cipa Indians to-day. The glaze an,
texture, however, are superior.

Woman and the Newspaper
By CYNTHIA WESTOVER ALDEN,
President of the international Sunshine Society.

A modus vivendi has been established
between woman and the newspaper. Twenty
years ago they were at swords points. 1t
was exasperating to woman to find her hus-
band wrapped in the politics of Europe or the
latest prize fight, when she desired to inter-
est him in the economics of tailor-made
dresses. She felt that breakfast would be a
much more entertaining meal had the news

If her husband read aloud some story Of
terrible sufferins from floods in the Ohio val
lev, woman was reminded that the family
roof had leaked little during the last heavy
storm. If he spoke of the destitution OF
sweat-shop workers, she recalled the fact that
little Jimmy needed new pair of shoes. II

NOTES OF THE MODES.
Ffnery for Feminine Followers Of
the Fashions for the Season
Now On.

Royal ermine garments and trim
mings, higher in price and more at
tractive than ever in shape and ef-
feet, are in demand for the coming
season, reports the New York Post.
Iridescent taffetas are in several
novel styles, one being the glace tat
feta lance. The combinations among
the new shot materials are exceed
ingly rich and effective, and the lance
figure is either of color contrast
ing with the groundwork or else 1t
is deeper shade of the same color.
Among the silks recently opened
are iridescent taffetas brocaded with
Marie Antoinette or Dolly Warden
figures, delicate gray silks with
dainty garlands of violets and roses,
black moires with a center in each
width resembling passementerle
scrolls, white moire brocaded with
| tea roses and foliage, and French
silks in vivid colorings, whose de-
signs are toned by flm-like over
weaving which gives them a pretty
chine effect.
/
gimp, galloon and passementerie ap-
plique effects in various widths is be-
coming more and more prevalent.
These trimmings range from quar-
ter of an inch to eight or ten inches
in width, and some of the wider de-
signs for panel ends or skirt borders
are in mural or Vandyke patterns.
Other and lighter weaves show Mar
quise or Escurial devices in silk en-
broidery and chiffon on net, tiny
raised cord showing on each design.
These are in open effects, the mate
rial on which they are applied throw
ing out the pattern in bold reief.
These last mentioned garnitures cost
from 70 cents to $3.50 yard.
Silk embroidered vests, and larger
Louis XIV. waistcoats are introduced
in the satin, velvet, cloth and other
handsome wraps and costumes OF the
; fall and winter. Brocade in Persian
Pompadour and other effects is, how
ever, quite as effective and much less
expensive for the purpose, and rem
nants of the richest brocade, witt
good color combinations, can be pur
chased for these vests at any OF th'
importing houses of the city. Few
things wear better or give greater
, satisfaction than really handsome
brocade, as gowns and other gar
