GENEROSITY OF
AMERICAN
DUCHESS.

LONDON, Dec. 24.-The Christmas
holidays as usual are being made the
occasion for numerous house parties
and festivities among the nobility and
aristocracy Of England, one of the
most notable being a great children's
party given by the duchess of Rox-
burghe, formerly Miss May Goelet. at
Floors castle. One Of the features is
monster Christmas tree, for the
adornment of which the duchess ram
sacked the toy shops Of London, Paris
and Vienna. Many of her purchases
were of the most extravagant kind,
among them being a collection of me-
chanical toys, including perfect
miniature motor car on rails. which.

KING BORN ON
CHRISTMAS DAY.

LONDON, Dec. Eft Is always
supposed to be peculiarly lucky to be
born on Christmas Day or Christmas
Eve. yet only one sovereign has had
the privilege-this Is King George of
Greece. Queen Alexandra's favorite
brother, and one of the few royal
personages in Europe who may be
counted a sincere well-wlsher to the
British empire and its many peoples.
So far as luck Is concerned the career
of King George seems to bear out
the popular superstition, for he has
succeeded in holding down" a shaky
throne for more than 40 years and
at the same time accommodating a for
tune through shrewd investments and
speculations that has made him one
of the richest of the worlds rulers.

wood for hut construction will be
unobtainable, and that during the
greater part of the winter soldiers

their time in the open air engaged

XMAS AT THE
WHIT EHoUsE.

WASHINGTON, Dec. "a. - The
younger Roosevelts, like other chill
dren through Christendom, are on the
tiptoe Of expectation and impatiently
awaiting the dawn Of Christmas day.
Express wagons, mail carriers and
messenger boys bore numerous pack
ages to the White House today and
it required much strategy on the part
of Mrs. Roosevelt to keep the con-
tents unseen from the prying and in
quisitive eyes of Archie, Kermit,
Miss Ethel and little Quintin. The
children will find part of the fruits
of Santa Claus visit in their stock
ings as soon as they arise. Later
they will assemble in the library,
there to receive gifts from their
father and mother.

CHRISTMAS
AT POTSDAM

BERLIN, Dec. 24.-Emperor Will

gathered at Postdam for their usual
Christmas celebration. Christmas Eve
Is the big time of celebration with
the Germans and consequently the
imperial family and the members Of
the court will assemble this evening
to enjoy the delight of gazing upon
the plantation of evergreens that
graces the famous Hall Of Shells in
the New Palace. The Bescherung, or
distribution of presents, Of the Ger
man court takes place after dinner,
a meal that is served in the Apollo
room, and, by special desire Of the
emperor, always includes the ma
tional Christmas dish Of boiled carp.
served with sauce composed Of beer
and ground gingerbread. In most
families one Christmas tree suffices
for the needs Of all, but at Potsdam
nine are called into use-one for the
emperor, another for the empress,

height, that is the property of Prin-
cess Victoria Louise. The distribu-
ton, which is preceded by the sing
ing of the carol, Peaceful Night,
Holy Night" by all present. including
the emperor, is a lengthy proceeding
in so numerous and generous a fam
lily. But in about two hours the cere-
mony is over, and the emperor leaves
the apartment to take his solitary
walk about Potsdam. in the course Of
which he distributes largesse to those
of his poor subjects he chances to
meet.

Few women known to history have
been utilized for fictional purposes
more extensively than has Peg Wof-
fington, the actress who. before she
was out of her teens. was the idol Of
the Covent Garden theater in London
during the early part of the eigh-
teenth century. Her early life. the
people by whom she was surrounded.
and, above all. her romantic, though
unfortunate, love AFFAIR with David
Garrick, have been a constant tempta-
tion to authors for the past two gen.
erations. Charles Reade made her the
heroine of his novel, Peg Voting

Tom Taylor he afterward drama tized

biography of Mistress Wellington to
suit themselves, but their works did
not possess the historical correctness.

But Kuropatkin's men will suffer
intensely for the good reason that

reality a myth, for he seldom stirs
out of his log izba in winter and
spends most of his day on top Of
the vast brick stove which half fills
the interior.
Russia knows this well. and has
made vast preparations. The ques-
ton is whether the preparations
were made In time. or whether the
men who wear heavy winter cloth
ing in the heat Of summer will not
have to face the winter in summer
clothing. Reports from st. Peters,
burg state that Kuropatkin tele-
graped to Gen. Sakharoff early in
October that the preparations were
entirely inadequate, and that If they
were not improved his army would
have vanished off the face OF the
earth next March.
Private enterprise is. as usual. in

out stiffening to hold them in place.
The scare about crinolines appears
to have been nipped in the bud. There
is, of course. always a possibility
that the vogue may crop out next
spring-the season when 1t would
naturally be expected.
Last seasons skirt is not far from
the present style. With the use of
coats Of contrasting materials. the
refurbishing of passe costumes Is
made comparatively simple. 1t Is
the sleeves that are the most diff
cult Of reimbursement in last years
gowns. But even these. given gump-
tion and new trimmings. may often
be brought quite up to date. The
beginning Of the season saw a tenta-
tive effort to bring back the style
Of sleeves in material contrasting,
with the bodice. but little has been
seen or heard Of the results. Now
and then one sees velvet leg o'mut-
ton sleeves in a cloth gown. but such
appearances are sporadic.
Dull finish black stuffs, trimmed in
the most conservative ways, with
folds of crepe or braid, or dull MOURN
ing passementerie, are the only things
that should be worn by the woman
who is in mourning. Any of the dull
finished cloths are good-cheviots and
serges particularly good for suits.

shirt waist suits and dresses.
And there's a wide field to choose
from in all-black materials-quaint
distinctions Of weave and texture
OF quality. and Of weight, that tell
in the character of the gown The
vale of the cheviot gives it a certain
distinction that lifts it out of the
ordinary, while the grace and adapta-
bility of henriettas and the lighter
weight stuffs lend themselves to soft
full lines that are irresistibly becom-
ing.
Silk and wool stuffs, broadcloth and
the shiny" silks are to be avoided.
but voiles and Panama cloths, soft
wool crepes and the dull black silks
Especially those with the armure

good.
Mourning styles are not quite so
plain as they used to be, but follow
conservative styles, allowing plenty
of ''self-trimming." as the trimming
of cloth with tucks and putting is
are tabooed-in every way. But strap
pings may be piped with silk or

appliqued figures of the cloth. The
best trimming is bands Of crepe. pref

Dinner dresses seem extremely out
