ington official said of him the other
day:
"Alexieff came here on the Cimbria
with a number of Russians of high

men could consume without being af-
fected by it was the talk of the day.
There were even editorials in the
newspapers on this matter.
II remember entering the Ru3sians'
suite in Washington one day with Al.

four empty champagne bottles before
him.

1t is too provoking--to miss the

worst, Mrs. Ronald Douglas looked
prettier still with her nose tlp-tilted
and a deep flush upon her rounded
cheeks. Whether both came from
heat Of tle dainty gas stove or from
temper at disappointment, the result
was the same; and so thought her
stylish cousin. Madge Marcy, who
was an orphan inmate OF her home.
TOO provoking!" the young wife
repeated as she held back her rich
skirt with one plump and jeweled
hand, and with the other turned down
the gas and replaced the lid Of the
steaming chatting dish-"Ron should
have been here FIVE minutes ago; and
by the next train his terrapin will be
ruined; and wen have the night

Pretty Weddings.

Color effect is greatly studied nova
days at wedding ceremonies, and the
result is often delightful. Red and
white weddings have been much in
vogue during the dull winter months,
with desirable result, and the little
pages with bright-hued cloaks slung
over the shoulder, or tiny bride
maidens in mob caps. Powered frocks
and muslin aprons. scattering pink
and red roses, nave lent charming
picturesqueness to the bride and her
surroundings.
Considering the number Of fashion
able weddings which have taken place
recently, the variety introduced into
the functions has been little short of
surprising. One of the prettiest re-
suits was achieved at a recent cere-
mony, when the snowy-gowned bride
was accompanied by train Of brides
maids attired in every shade OF pink,
ranging from the most delicate Wild
rose tone to that Of the deepest Grim.

Walklnn sults.

There is nothing smarter for a walk
ing OF travelling suit than black and
white shepherds tartan. It does not
show wear or dust, and always looks
trim and neat.
This little suit is made with full
plated skirt that clears the ground by
several inches. It is laid in deep
plaits that are stitched down a little
way from the waist II is finished at
the bottom with deep hem.
The jacket is a short box coat, with
collar anu cuffs Of white broadcloth
strapped with half inch wide bands of
black velvet ribbon.
There are three pockets on the coat
piped around with black velvet, and
the Eaps decorated with cloth covered
buttons. The ones which fasten the
coat are very large, and have black
velvet ribbon on them in a cross de-
sign. The jauuty air of this costume
is very striking, and it would be use
ful suit to any one.
