LONDON, Feb. 27.-Mr. Albert Pu-
liter, of New York, who has been
staying in London for some time, has
now departed, leaving behind many
whose hopes of prominent positions in
the newspaper world have been raised
to the heights only to be dashed to the
ground, for Mr.. Pulitzer has had great
schemes for starting a weekly news
paper in London. This paper was to
be beautified by the best that could be
done in the way of three-color print

Carlton hotel with secretary and
servants, ETC., and numbering in his
suite special cook to prepare foods

and few other American ladies have
changed all this. and the society is
now in position to do good practical
work. The Duchess of Marlborough
has always helped with her purse, but
now both she and Vlscountess Deer
hurst take a personal interest in all its
work-they attend meetings OF the
committee. offer suggestions and re-
celve mission ladies attached TO
churches and schools, and they ex-
press the greatest delight when they
learn that some suffering Is alIeviated
or a sister rescued from life Of moral
danger. 1t is mostly through the in
huence of Lady Henry Somerset that
the Duchess of Marlborough has been
led to take such an active interest In
the work of the society.

the Rosslyns whenever they embark on
money-making ventures, for ii Is un-
successful speculation that has brought
the dowager countess to her present
condition. where she estimates her as
sets at $250.000 and her liabilities at
almost 100000. The countess. who, be-
fore her marriage, was Miss Blanche
Adeliza Eftzroy, the only daughter OF
a Northamptonshlre squire, owes her
stock brokers alone almost $50, 900. Her
losses were incurred for the most part
on the London exchange. but she sunk
$4,000 in South African speculation.

The Duchess of Marlborough lately
has commenced to take an active in
terest in the work Of English society
ladies. who like to be described as So
cial reformers. The National Union Of
Women Workers, the organization with
which the DUCHESS is chiefly identified
just now, is not a trade union, as its
name would suggest, but an institu-
ton supported by such women as Lady
Henry Somerset, the Countess of War
wick, Lady Dixie and a number Of other
Well-knoWn society ladies, for the pur-
pose Of encouraging and improving the
conditions under which all classes Of
women live, and especially to raise
them morally and socially. The organ

the last three years, very little being
heard of it because it's financial con-

in reality only Mrs. Meyer, the am

the wife of the director, was there with
the avowed idea of not offending any

the residents feel hurt, but the travel

departure of Mr.. Mowbray has caused

called upon them, putting themselves

The annual exhibition of the work
of the academy was so notable and did
such credit to America that Ambassa-

the school, prayed the king to assist at
the opening. His majesty not only ac-
cepted the invitation promptly, but her
majesty was also present. This. Of

Students Already Attract Attention

ROME, Feb. 27-News that an Amer
lean academy was about to be estab-
llShed in Rome created some amuSe-
ment and a good deal of criticism in
1898. But the school appeared, never
theless, under the name of the 'Ameri-
can School of Architecture in Rome"
supported and started by the architects
who had conceived and brought forth
the Worlds fair at Chicago and their
friends, notably Mr.. McKim, who may
be styled the founder of the enter
prise. and who has given large sums
towards it, and Is now the president.
The architects were joined in 1897 by
the best known American sculptors and
mural painters, so that out of the mod
est beginning rose the present "Ameri-
can Academy in Rome"
1t was small at first, compared with
the great academies of France and
Spain, but it lived and prospered, wild
ened and became more influential, I'M
til today, after only nine years since
Its inception, it stands proudly on an
equality with the institutions of Eu-
ropean countries.

the "Roi Soleil," is housed in the

BEAUTY DOCTORS FLOURISH IN LONDON

This patronage of her majesty has
had stimulating effect on the work
OF the beauty doctors, with the result
that Bond street and its adjacent bust
ness thoroughfares are now honey
combed with establishments where
youth and beauty are guaranteed to
be maintained for an indefinite period
at fixed price. 1t is considered that
$500 a year is a moderate sum for a
society beauty to pay in order to have

doctor should flourish so at present, a
specialist said to me, Society life kills
beauty more quickly than the ravages
of sickness. The increased number of
London functions necessitating late
hours, the physical exertions of dancing
parties, and the sudden change of tenn
