AMERICAN WOMEN IN ITALY.
Graceful Tribute Paid Them by One
of the Fair Writers of
That Country.

In an article on this years society
doings in Rome the Italian writer and
poet, Domenico Olivia, pays a graceful
tribute to American women. After re-
viewing the charms which society
women of every nationality contribute
to Rome's cosmopolitan assemblies, he
eXclaims:
"But the fair Americans, with their
sparkling eyes, their hair of liquid
gold, their stately gracefulness, are
the symbol of modernity and of Wig
orous youth, of power that charms
irresistibly and conquers every heart.
THE United States inundate us
with their beautiful and all-conquer-
ing feminine battalions, but our an
cient Latin land captures them in its
turn, even as classic Greece subdued
the victorious Romans"
The author of the article. which ap-
pears in the Giornale d'Italia, con
cludes by saying that American ladies'
are becoming every year greater IA
vorites not only in the highest Roman
society circles but at court itself,
where a larger number are being in
troduced to Queen Helena than has
ever before been the case.

sERvIA'S PRESS CENSORSHIP
Misfortune Which BefeII n Pains
taking Publisher illustrates
It's Severity.

Servia is taking a leaf out of the
book of Russia in her censorship of
the press. To conduct an opposition
Newspaper has become an offense to
the Servian government, says the New
York Commercial Advertiser. AL
though the liberty of the press is
supposed to be guaranteed by the
constitution, that liberty is casuistic-
ally interpreted to mean a toleration
to publish so long as nothing un-
pleasant to the government is put
into print, with risk of confiscation
if the gracious indulgence of the
government be abused The chief op-
position paper, the Odjek, has been
puzzled of late how to fill its col
umns. 1t has already been warned
and dares not give open expression
to the faith and principles which it
was founded to promulgate The Od-
jek, therefore, one day, having four
blank columns to occupy. and hav-
ing neither news nor advertisements
sufficient to fill them, printed selec-
ton of psalms from the Old Testa-
ment. This was worse than ever.
The whole impression was seized by
the police at the order of the censor,
and the reason was given that 1.-The
psalms had been chosen on account
of their supposed political tendency"

SUMMER FURNISHINGS.
That Lend Cool Eject to
the Interior.

While there are no new fabrics in
summer draperies, there is no end
of variety in design and attractive-
ness in colors. Cretonnes are used
to a lavish extent, and are gay and
''summery'' in their floral richness or
artistic tapestry effects. They are
used for curtains, finished with lace
borders, all manner of draperies,
cushions, pillows and for upholster-
| ing rattan and willow furniture. And
though one may pay $1.50 yard for
a lovely piece of cretonnne, her
neighbor, in drawing-room and veran-
| da, may make as brave a showing at
30 cents the yard, the reproduction
of design and coloring being so ex-
cellent.
| Moorish prints and Turkish cur
tains, draperies and cushions in cot
ton, or silk striped. are cool and at
tractive, but the latest fancy is to
use transparent madras in white
and green stripes or large broken
checks for window draperies and
solid green Ga darker shade) for por-
there's. says the New York Tribune.
Nothing exce!s in daintiness and
cool effect the lovely japanese cotton
crep1e that come in all colors and
can be had at 35 cents yard, 30
Inches wide. 1t is well to say at
once that in all the above mentioned
lsummer draperies the green shades,
with white. and Delft blue and white,
harmonic perfectly with the artistic
Imattings and the new cotton rugs
done so exquisitely in the same col
ors.
Of course, if one desires more cost
Ily and richer furnishings there IS
wide range of choice to be had In
Ioriental silks for all manner of drape-
lries. pillows and cushions. There are
the lovely Habu$ai, Shikii and Moucha
silks for curtains, the Shikii Tor raw
lsilks) being used mostly for sash cur
tains, as they are so soft and come in
all the art tones. But all the cotton
draperies mentioned are preferable for
lsummer cottages, yachts, houseboats
land for all town flats and apartments
temporarily turned into cool summer
homes.
AS regards a taste for all white,
there is an infinite variety of "furni-
ture muslins," plain, striped, embroi-
dered, inset and edged with any one of
the popular laces, ruff1es, fringes and
frills. But any one of the artistic color
schemes for summer furnishings will
be found far more restful than an all
white outfit.
| Summer floor coverings were never
so attractive, and are shown, in straw
mattines, both Chinese and japanese,
| and East Indian Dhurries of rich orien-
| tai designs; simpler mattings in cool
greens and straw checks, fiber and
grass rugs in all the popular colors,
are effective and inexpensive.

GOOD-LUCK FENCE RAILS.
Actor Had to Touch Each Iron Rail
Because of a Sort of Su-
perstitiOus Belief.

A very well-known actor now play
ing in a local stock company was
seen one day lately touching with his
fingers the iron rails of each fence
he passed on his way to the theater,
says the Washington Post.
What on earth are you doing?" ex-
claimed friend who had been try
ing to catch up with the actor.
why, it does seem silly in this adj
vanced age of civilization, doesn't it.?
But, do you know, can no more help
touching these iron rails, particular
ly when | am to give performance,
than | can taking a drink when | am
thirsty. l believe it's bad luck to
miss touching one, and so closely
does this idea cling to me that | have
frequently gone back and put my
finger on the one ! may have missed.
l hate to admit the superstition, even
to myself, but when things go wrong
with me, | unconsciously find myself
wondering what iron rails | recently
passed without putting my fingers
on. Most people, especially theat-
rical folks, have as firm faith in the
virtue of rabbits foot, coin, or a
specimen of stone as | do in the per-
sistent touching of the iron rails on
the fences, believing, as | do, that
the inanimate objects assure good
luck"

CALIFORNIA SCENERY.
There Is a Glory i'm 1t That Inspires
the Poets of the Western
SeabOard.

AS long as there remains the love
of beauty in the human soul, so long
will the glory of California scenery,
and that of the whole Pacific coast,
prove source of inspiration to the
poetic mind, says Herbert Bashford,
in Atlantic. Descriptive verse has
been from the beginning a marked
feature of the literature of this re-
gion. In fact, the term Landscape
poets" may be properly applied to
this bevy of songbirds which seemed
to the late Maurice Thompson to
have taken complete possession of
the entire western seaboard" Suf-
fee to say, that if volume of verse
were written by a Californian which
reflected nothing of the states scenic
beauty or its warmth of color, it
would not only come as a surprise
to most reviewers, but the loyalty
Of the poet might be seriously ques-
toned. .. While all this display
of local color may seem too apparent
an effort on the part of Californians
to place upon their work the stamp
Of definite locality, and may be con-
sidered BIZ some cheap form of art,
1T is this very sensitiveness to
beauty and grandeur with which ma
ture has clothed the west that offers
the most promise of its rapid literary
advancement-a sensitiveness, more
over, that will become more and
more acute with the cultivation of
the higher faculties through increas-
ing educational growth.

General Nelson A. Miles, having
reached the age limit. has been re-
tired from the highest position in the
army of this country. 1t has been no
secret that for some time, dating
back of the ''embalmed beef" scan
dals, the general has not been fav-
orite in official circles in Washington,
and his more recent severe arraign-
ment of officers and men in the Philip
pines for their treatment of our own
soldiers and natives of the islands
has not tended to smooth out the diff
ferences existing between himself and
the secretary of the navy and the
president. Notwithstanding all this,
the people of this country will regard
his retirement without one word of
courtesy from his superiors as a very
u1gracious act on their part. Admit
ting that the general has been in
discreet in his utterances of late
years, he is none the less hero of
three wars and great fighter who
more than any other one man made
the western plains safe place to live
in by subduing the most vicious In
dams of later years. Is it possible
that because he Is democrat toe
president regards him as dangerous
political rival and SO fails in cour-
tesy?
