neighbors saw scaffolds hanging from
the cornfces of the De Rham house in
No. "a Fifth avenue. The mansion is
unique in it's conglomerate architecture
and Is said to be the oldest dwelling in
Fifth avenue. The house was also
distinctive on account Of the lack of
paint. For years the red brick peered
from under thin coating of gray
paint, but when the De Rhams return
to the city in the autumn the queer old
house will have a suit Of dull green.
The De Rham family, originally fugi-
tive Huguenots, has been living in No.
"a since the '20s. The house is a pre-
tentious affair, with broad and clumsy
lines and most striking of all is the
Grecian border stucco that crowns the
house. The entrance, too, has columns
that seem to be crumbling with age.
Additions have been made to the house
and there is modern bay window
that looks into one Of the prettiest
gardens in this CITY, The De Rham
house Is on the corner of Ninth street,
and embraces two city lots The De
Rham family always has been active
socially, and at present Mrs. De
Rham Jr. is prominent in the conserv-
alive set headed by Mrs. Charles M.
Oelrichs, Mrs. Cadwaladar Jones, Mrs.
Richard Irwin and Miss Leary. Old
Charles De Rham lives with the
younger De Rhams and was born in
that house soon after his parents
there. He has been a widower for
many years. Miss Laura De Rham,
who still is a schoolgirl, promises to be
belle in her day, because she is the
counterpart Of her mother. The two
De Rham boys are at Harvard.

For the Summer Chauffeuse.

The fashions in automobile toys"
are creeping up to the ideal and one
hears of marvels being prepared for
the coming season. Indeed, all OBJ
servers must have been struck with
what strides have already been made
in the direction of combining smart
ness and becomingness with practical
utility.
When taken seriously, there is no
sport for which specially devised
habiliments are most absolutely es-
Sential
Experience teaches that the two
chief necessaries are wind proof coat
and a ust-proof hood or veil of some
sort
Most Of the coats are now. seen in
cloth, either dark gray whipcord or
Scotch or Irish tweed. These are lined
with silk, and interlined with various
patented wind-proof materials. The
sleeves are cut with the fashionable
wide cuff in order to give smart APP
pearance; but for practical purposes
there is always an inner sleeve tight
to the wrist, which prevents the air
from blowing up. A storm collar is
invariable and the revers are made SO
that they may button over and the
coat be fastened closely-np to the neck
in cold weather.
In view of the coming warmer
months, alpaca and tussore are being
used for very graceful wrappers in the
mandarin shape, with voluminous
sleeves plated into deep gauntlet cuffs.
Everything, Of course, depends upon
the cut OF these garments, and new de-
signs are discovered daily.
A coat recently made by a fashion
able tailor is of tweed, a very dark
shade of green being chosen. The
revers and cuffs are of dark green
leather, and the metal buttons show
design of an auto in relief.
For headgear the peaked cap is still
universal favorite. A large number
are In white CLOTH and later on we
shall see them in all colored linens,
while occasionally white or colored kid
Is used for their construction. These
caps are generally found more becom-
ing if they are arranged with fullness
on the crown, which is plated into the
brim. A good design for a cap has a
hood kept buttoned up on to the brim
at the back; in rainy weather this

IF the Queen Should Come.

What would happen II Margherita,
the Dowager Queen of Italy, were to
visit America? This visit Is the latest
rumor, but 1t is doubtful that the
queen will come. What rivalry there
would be among the young matrons to
capture her! Mrs. Cornelius Wander
bilt would probably be in the lead, for
her affiliations in Rome are lofty, and
Roman society has been taught to look
upon Mrs. Vanderbilt as a sort Of
American queen. Her trips up the
Tfber in her yacht, the North Star, GER
ta1nly have been impressive. Queen
Marguerite always has been friendly
toward Americans, and there Is no city
where Americans are received so cor
daily as in Rome. Since her widow
hood, the queen has been in retire
ment. She has given to her daughter
in-law the famous pearls that will rank
among the historic jewels Of this CEN
fury. Each year after their wedding
King Humbert would give his wife a
string Of perfectly matched pearls.
Each year the handsome queens neck
would show another strand, and she
wore twentyt three strands when her
husband was killed. 1t was a pretty
custom that told eloquently how de-
voted the martyred king and Mar
gherita were.

known only to limited circle, sudden
ly comes before the public as Won
derful golfer. Only Mrs. e. A. Manice,
the champion Of America can take the
measure of the pretty daughter of the
Knickerbockers. Miss Vanderhoef, as
her name suggests, is member of
one Of the old Dutch families. Her
mother was a Thomas, and although
one Is not constantly hearing Of them,
1t is merely because their wealth is
not counted by millions. When Mrs
Manice and Miss Vanderhoef walked
side by side at the recent tourney on
Staten Island. they were probably
the best looking golfers in America, as
well as the most slillful. Miss Van
derhoef Is little short Of beauty, with
striking coloring and a graceful fig
ure. Her golf clothes are sensible
neither hideously comfortable nor too
fxy." Miss Vanderhoef is scarcely
out Of school, and year or two ago
she used to wear the most tremen-
dous choux Of white chiffon under her
chin. She has an aunt who was for
merly Miss Elizabeth Vanderbilt. and
she is connected also with the Irwin
family. Miss Vanderhoefs brother, F.
Bailey Vanderhoef, Is one Of the most
popular men in Princeton. The Van
derhoef town house is in No. 40 West
Fifty eighth street, and the country
seat Is in Irvington.

exclusive circles that Queen AIexan-
dra was losing all patience with the
London society women who have been
distinguishing themselves by winning
and losing heavy sums on the race
track and at bridge whist, and even
poker, and that it is now quite plain
that her majesty will use all her inf1u-
ence to stop this sort Of thing.
AT the recent races at Epson there
was great CONSERVATION and disap-
pointment in the royal Enclosure among
the society bellies when they discov-
cred that the queen and the Princess
Of Wales were absent. There were
various reasons advanced as to the
reason of their absence, the most pop
ular being that the queen was not
well, but that theory was disproyed
by her presence at the opera the same
evening. But the truth was quite evil
dent that the queen took pains to show
in a pointed way her displeasure to-
wards the women in society who have
joined the gambling set. Most Of them
had arranged to be at the Oaks, which
is the most fashionable ladies' day, and
it was also noticed that several Of the
queens intimate friends were absent.
These were, of course, in her majes-
tvs confidence.
It is believed this action by the
queen will do much to cure fashionable
women Of their gambling craze. The
Princess of Wales is no less active in
her condemnation of gambling women
than the queen. Under the matronly
care of her mother, the Duchess Of
Teck, she was taught to avoid society
affairs where anything approaching
gambling was permitted. There is no
doubt that both she and the queen
have made dead set against what
they consider a social evil, and that in
in the future there will be fewer Of
the scandals that have been noted in
recent years.

Not the "Morrisv House-

some women who refuse to let well
enough alone insist that the "Jumel
Mansion" which will be preserved as a
historical museum, be re-christenad
tne Morris House" 1t is the conten-
tion OF these ubiquitous women that
the original name Of the fine colonial
dwelling on Washington Heights was
the Morris House, and, therefore the
name or Morris should be preserved.
1t Is not probable that these efforts will
succeed, although the living represent
at1ves Of the Morris family are eager
that their name be fixed to the inter-
est1ng relic. Lewis Morris built the
house in 1865. He was one of the rich
est men in America, and the entire in
terror was furnished with treasures

acquired the house it reached the sum-
init OF its glory. Her name chung to

motifs occupancy vanished. The most

denn1te wage scale for certain work
and certain hours, as is every other

deem1ng feature would be a criterion
Of service. A trif1ing and discourteous
girl would not be entitled to the pro-
lection of the unions numbers, and,
on the other hand. those backing the
organization with funds and influence
would assist in the protection of girls
who were subjected to discourtesy or
injustice from employers or their rep
resentatives. A board of arbitration,
composed proportionataly of union
girls" hackers and employers, would
be component part of every organi-
zation, and to this board all differ
ences of opinion" even the smallest,
would be referred before any action
could be taken. The public would be
asked to cooperate to the extent Of
reporting any inattention or discour-
tesy on the part Of a shop girl or poor
service from any member of the union
to the central board. small stamped
blanks for this purpose, something on
the order of postal cards, being pro-
vided. The compensation for such re-
quirements as to service that by some
might be considered a drawback would
be the wage increase and the personal
and financial support of representative
women who but for the guarantee of
a higher standard of service would not
give their time and money to such an
undertaking. There would then be
definite basis on which to proceed
against the underwage evil in stores
and factories, productive of such wide
spread moral disaster, and the move
ment would also prove a distinct and
universal benefit to the general public.

ABOUT WOMEN.

Speaking of the work Of the women
inspectors of immigration at the last
meeting of the Women's Municipal
league, Miss Sadie American said that
their work had been necessitated by
the excellence of the system of steer
age inspection. 1t is now almost i'm
possible, she said, and it is becoming
more and more so, for undesirable
persons to enter this country through
the steerage, and the natural conse-
qUence is that they are being thrown
into the second cabin. The more eff
fective the steerage inspection, there
fore, the more necessary becomes the
inspection of the first and second cab
ins.

A Substitute for the BOUQUET.

1t was relief at the wedding of Miss
Alma de Sofa Mendes to Edmond Lee
vine in New York the other day not
to see one Of those conventional show
ers Of bouquets that are becoming as
fixed and formal as the paper bound
nosegays of the sixties. Miss Mendes
carried a prayer book bound in white
kid, and held in the leaves of the book
were sprays Of lilies of the valley. The
flowers had streamers Of white baby
ribbon that added a graceful touch,
and the man that originated the pray
er book and flowers should congratu-
late himself. It is probable this new
and pretty fashion will result in many
other such combinations. Miss Mendes
comes from a Portuguese family that
had lived in New York for almost a
century.
