In the spring young mans fancy
lightly turns to thoughts of outdoor
sports. SO does that of the young wom-
an In fact. it is extremely probable
that they have not waited until now to
bestow consideration upon such matters
but have been planning for them while
still the snow was blowing and the
streams frozen.
Now, as the roads get in good order
and the mud dries from the fields, the
golf clubs are brought out, the wheels
are overhauled and put in condition and
all sorts Of plans are laid for Saturday
half holidays and vacation times.
With the return to the possibility OF
this sort Of thing arises the annual ques-
ton as to how much liberty is to be al
lowed our young men and our young
women in their association with one an
other. Are they to go about together
unchaperoned, as they have done from
time immemorial in the country and
small towns, or are the rules Of smart So
ciety in the big cities to be complied
with? There are advocates of both sides
Of the matter and each has it's pros and
cons.

in America by six Judges, who have
sworn never to let their names be known,
for the troubles which beset Paris would
be nothing to what might follow the mod

he was.
The pictures are reproduced from photo
graphs taken expressly for the volume,
and Miss Cameron spent eighteen months
in collecting and arranging them.
The first edition costs $500 a volume,
and naturally the number is limited altho
twenty-five volumes will hardly supply the
demand from the millionaires who are
represented The second edition is priced
at $780, and the third edition is offered
at SIS.
The only two western women whose
charms were deemed sufficient to admit
them into this exclusive circle Of beauties

Colorado Springs, Col, the Misses Gladys

There are other conditions in which a
chaperone is advisable One Is when the
excursion is to be extended and a return
made late in the day. Ii the party means
to stop for a night anywhere a chaperone
is Indispensable. 1t may be a jolly young
married woman or a girl of the older set
who is the sister of one Of the younger
members of the band. In any case, she
will lend dignity to the company. Even
if meal is to be taken at hotel or inn
it is well to have an older person along.
Once it would have been hard to find
a woman of even comparatively mature
years who could be called upon to chap
erone a wheeling party. But we have
changed all that. The improvements in
modern science are bringing things to
such a pass that soon there will be no
old people. They will all Of them be al
ways young. Keeping in step with this
advance is modern invention, making ex-
ercise not only easy, but delight. The
visions that the old men saw and the
dreams that the young men dreamed in
Bible times will be matched by the real
tiles that will be achieved by the young,
middle aged and even elderly women who
have the physical training that keeps them
in order supplemented by the means that
render outdoor excursions joy.

CAPTAIN sARTORIs AND HIS BRIDE

grandson Of a great man. For a year Mr..
Sartoris wore overalls and ate his dinner
from tin pail and then he suddenly re-
turned to the club and society world Of
Washington and nobody knew the reason,
altho it was whispered that his engage
ment to Miss Davidge had been broken.
Shortly after Captain Sartoris who won
his right to the title in the Cuban war,
where he served on the staff Of General
Fitzhugh Lee, sailed for Paris and in two
weeks the news was cabled that he was to
marry Mile. Cecilia Noussiard and every
body wondered who Mile. Noussiard was.
Captain Sartoris lost no more time in his
winning than he did In his wooing and
the marriage was solemnized in Paris
last week. His bride is said to be very
pretty, with the unusual combination
Of dark eyes and light hair. She is a
granddaughter of Sir Charles Halle Of
England, whose estates Joined those Of the
Sartoris family and the bride and BRIDE
groom played together as children Mrs
Sartoris is Catholic and before his mar
riage Captain Sartoris left the Methodist
church, in which he had been brought up
and joined the Catholic church. Just where
the half American and half English cap
tain and his half French and half English
wife will live has not been decided, but
they will doubtless spend much time in
Washington.

Early Styles Modified.

Designers never have it their own way.
The well-dressed public takes much into
its own hands after the designers have
finished.
Here and there, in all the great shops,
it is interesting to hear designer and pa
iron getting together to eliminate bad
styles, modify extreme ones, build up new
ones, and in general contrive a charming
American gown.
This very work which is going on all
over the country now will have certain
result. 1t will bring about a new line of
fashions that will show a decided i'm
prove1nent and some charming changes
from the styles shown during the month
Of April

CURE FOR SELFIsHNEss

At meeting of the Universalist wom-
ems society held in the Church of the Dr.
vine Paternity in New York, Miss Mary
Vida Clark, secretary of the State Chari-
ties Aid association, asserted every un-
married man and woman ought to adopt
child. Persons who remain unmarried,
she argued, become self centered and
selfish. To counterfeit this deplAable
tendency she recommended the adoption
Of children, which would divert interest
from ones self.
AS an illustration of this theory carried
into effect, she told of two women friends,
one OF whom had married and the other
remained single. When child was born
to the married woman the unmarried
friends adopted one. The married woman
had a family of five children and her
friend continued to adopt children until
she had seven.
Miss Clark spoke against committing
children to institutions and in favor Of
home life.

The school at Point Iona has had some

The Romance Of General Grants
Grandson Concerns Two Pretty
Women, and for One of Them He
Wore OveralIs and Toiled in a Fac
tory at Pittsburg for Dollar Day.

All Americans are interested in the bride
of Algernon Sartoris, not on account Of
the bridegroom-he has yet to prove him
self worthy of interest-but of his famous
grandfather, General Grant. The an
nouncement that the grandson Of the dis
tingulshed president was to marry a
French girl caused many on old soldier to
shake his head obviously and the fact that
she was half English did not make them
regard the alliance any more favorably,
for the men who fought with General
Grant feel personal interest in his de-
scendants and they would rather they
were more American in their tastes and
manners.
1t was not SO long ago that people were
commencing Mr.. Sartoris because he had
taken a position in the Westinghouse
Electric Light Works in Pittsburg at a
dollar a day in order to win the hand of
Miss Edith Davidge, who wanted him to
prove that he was something beside the

CULTIVATE 4 SENSE OF SMELL.

ALI odors that are not pleasant, sweet
or agreeable should receive prompt at
tention, for bad smell Of any kind is a
danger signal. Those who spend their
time in the kitchen are SO accustomed to
mixed odors of every variety, both good,
bad and Indifferent, that their olfactory
nerves become deadened so that they are
not to be blamed for what they cannot
realize.
Therefore, the good housekeeper-the
one who is particularly anxious to keep
her family in good health-will follow up
a smell persistently until the cause is dis
covered. This is not enough, for when
discovered to be an intimation that some-
thing is wrong it should be rooted out

The much heralded american Book Of

nesota, for it has been carefully explained
that the space was too limited to admit
any but national beauties. Of the eighty

Albany, four from Washington, two from
Colorado. eight from Philadelphia, three

ABERDEEN IS DAUGHTER
Rumored Attachment of Winston Church
LII for LADY, Marjorie Gordon

III for Lady Marjorie Gordon.
An exceptionally interesting engage
ment is that of Winston Churchill and
Lady Marjorie Gordon, the only daugh-
ter of the Earl and Countess Of Aber-
deem. 1t has not been announced yet, but
their attachment is undoubted. Lady
Marjorie is extremely gentle, amiable in
disposition rather serious, but very fas-
cinating and deeply interested in all the
philanthropic and political enterprises to
which her mother devotes herself. The
Aberdeens are radicals and some critics
discern in Winston Churchill's recently
developed liberal tendencies the effect Of
softer influences than the awakening Of
his political conscience. There is one OBJ
stacle to the union, tho it is not necessar-
lily insuperable. Lady Marjorie cannot
have much fortune, while Churchill de-
ponds for his living on writing, lecturing
and an allowance from his cousin, the
Duke Of Marlborough, which undoubtedly
would be withdrawn il Churchill should
join the liberal party.

It is no exaggeraton to say that more

Silly vanity prompts the nonuse of glasses
until the eyes are SO strained that serious

there is no remedy except the knife or a

FANcIEs FOR THE FAIR

Colored lace has been tried as a garni-
ture for fine costumes 1t is generally
made in two shades, obtained by dyeing
at the same time the material made Of
cotton and silk or wool; but no very large
vogue Of these articles is to be expected.
The best chance for colored laces will be
in the trimming of hats and in veilings.
Cushion tops stamped with the fash
ionable cross-stitch designs among the
novelties for summer fancywork Amer
lean women will seldom spare the time
to make their own embroidery designs,
and these quick pieces are extremely pop
ular. Linens and canvas, in both close
and coarse weaves, are stamped in this
way Cream pale pink or blue and light
green are among the preferred colors.
Shoes have the high Castlian and Louis
Qunze heels and are sharply pointed at
the toe. Here, too, it seems, women have
discarded everything with mannish eff
feet.
Parasols follow the fancy for trimming.
Many have tucked bands faggoted to-
gether and show a hem stitched border
of contra sting color. Shirrings and frlls
trace patterns upon the covers, and ruched
fiounces and fringes Of flower petals droop
from the edge.
Hosiery shows decorative effects in
keeping with the elaborate gowns En-
broidery, lace insertions, clocl1ings and
openwork are seen on the finest Isle
thread and silk stockings.
Among the smaller accessories Of dress,
handkerchiefs of colored embroidery to
match ones gowns tempt the smart
woman to extravaganza. Pure white,
however. and very sheer are the qualities
required in handkerchief for dressy oc-
casions. A new stock is stiff like a linen
| collar; it has a turnover of eyelet en-
broidery, and narrow pique ends finished
neatly with similar embroidery.
