Miss Alice Roosevelt looks we'll in most
Of the clothes she has worn while in st.
Louis, for they are good garments in cut
and fit and they are chosen with taste.
But she was positively distinguished at
the German bail. .
A very well-poised head on a shapely,
~well-roun6ed pair of shoulders goes a
long way toward making decollette frocks
becoming, and these are possessed by the
Presidents daughter. Pale blue satin,
which constituted her dress. was in COM
plete harmony with her complexion and
the. old lace half-sleeves and bodice garni-
ture was wholly satisfactory.
Her hair. coiled low on the neck, as she
always wears 1t, with not a single
~spangled orname nor diamond star nor
anything else to mar its simplicity. and
without even a string Of pearls around
her throat. she was girlish and interest
ing-a goodly sight to see.
She came into the ballroom with huge
lunches of iowers-pale lavender orchids
and valley lilies in one bouquet, American
beauties in another. a cluster of white
flowers of some sort, and one rather small
| sheaf of palest pink roses. She laid them
all aside. when dancing. except a little
pink rose, which was carefully tucked
into the laces on her waist. Now. 1 do
| wonder who sent those pink roses?

sometimes the gentlemen of the receiving

How do you do I am delighted to sec

at the other reception and how charm.
ing it will be tomorrow at still more re,
ceptions,' and then they lead you to the
dining-room, where there are always thu
same sandwiches, the same coffee, the
same negroes, the same ice cream ant
the same flowers on the tables"
NO. thank you, I shall go to no more
receptions"
William X. Kavanaugh has discovered
that the good Samaritan sometimes pay!
a penalty. The other morning, when rid

Of him who was desperately Ill and al
most unconscious. Going forward h
caught the man just in time. and proceed
ed to hurry him to the front of the ca
where the ice cooler stood. But the sicl
man was quite limp and helpless by thi
time and incapable of supporting his owl
weight, so that when the car lurched for
ward with Mr.. Kavanaugh and his bur
den. and the former thrust out his RICH
arm to keep a door from striking tn
invalid, the door caught Mr.. Kavanaugh'
right hand instead. and just damned tn
top of one finger into mincemeat.
1t has been an excessively painful acct
dent. and his hand will be in ~bandages an
plaster for some time to come.
