The Once Famous Actress Is Penniless |

WHO Of the older theater- goers does not
w remember Madame Janauschek, that
wonderful woman whose dramatic genius
placed the world at her feet and made her
adored by people of every nation? Worn
by age and infirmities, poor and forlorn
she will soon become an inmate of the
actors home on Staten Island and pass
her remaining days in comparative COM
fort, sadly in contrast to the aduation
and homage she received in the past.
-Four years ago she still had the pow
err to sway her audiences, altho past
70 years of age, but a paralytic stroke
forced her to retire. A year later benefit
was given for her In New York in which
the most famous actors took part and thru
which over $4,000 was raised for her. This
sum melted like snow in a June sun, be-
fore the demands made upon it by her
long Illness and it became necessary to
sell her possessions, her jewels, paintings,
books, rare laces, furs and furniture, the
collection OF a woman whose tastes were
royal and who had the means to crafty
them. '"''.>a,al 3.

SUMMER GOWN ORNAMENTS

Lovely ornaments are to be worn this
spring made of cotton. There are hanging
balls and cotton loopings and all sorts Of
cotton braidings. These braids are put on
by hand in the old-fashioned way, in little
twirls, just as one braided ones gowns
years ago. The narrow white and colored
braids are used and the designs are dis
tributed over skirt panels over yokes and
over the caps and cuffs of sleeves.
A very neat little ornament was made
for pretty cotton figured dress. The
material showed pink figures upon a
ground Of cream. Little circles Of the
goods were cut out and braided in white.
They were then edged with lace and APP
piled to the gown, making a very nice
trimming.
AS this is season Of ornaments, one
must not forget the little rosettes of lawn
and of linen which are so plentifully used
to trim the summer dresses. These are
made Of long strips Of linen. doubled and
shirred. The string is pulled up until a
rosette Is formed Every woman knows
how to make these rosettes. They are
used in place of ribbon choux for trim
ming wash dresses. They are placed upon
the cuffs. upon the belt, the stock and

The size varies from the button rosette

saucer, which Is placed upon the side

She Delighted to Slip Away from
Court in India and Mingle with the
formation that Saved an Innocent
Man from Execution for Murder.

THERE seems to be no end to the 40
= complishments Of Lady Curzon, the
clever American girl who rules India. One
has heard much Of her royal manner of
living and her lavish expenditures both for
herself and her position, but one has not
heard so much Of her charities. She has
taken a great interest in the poorer
classes in India and studied their con-
ditions whenever she had chance.
Only her personal native attendant and
perhaps q few intimate friends know of
her excursions, in native dress, when she
mingled with the people in quite a Ha-
roun ell Raschid fashion and learned many
things which may or may not have aided
the officials in shaping the policy of gov

had proof of the cleverness Of this

A TEARING PARTY is SOMETHING NEW

"Fish" on one table, ~"Birds" on another,
Animals" on a third, FLOWERS" on a
fourth and SO on. AT the ringing Of
bell fingers busily tear the paper into
shapes more or less 'recognizable, which
are to be marked with the names of the
artist as well as what they are supposed
to represent beforet the tearers move on
to try their skill at another table.
When all Of the tables have been WIS.,
tied the birds, animals and flowers will
be collected by the hostess and fastened
to a black curtain. and the guests will
puzzle their wits trying to imagine what
each is supposed to be. The best animal
fish, bird or flower wins a prize for the
one who fashioned it.
An eastern hostess gave the girl who
tore the best flower pot of blooming
tulips; the man who made the most
natural bird received a canary in wood
en- cage, and the winner in the fish class
received gold fish, while tiny kitten
was received with an incredulous gasp
by the girl who won the fluffy animal by
her clever tearing Of a pug dog. For
models the hostess laughed as she dis
tributed her awards.
Toy animals will do quite as well as
real ones, and many will find them easier
to care for. Something of the sort is
most appropriate for tearing party.

There are sundry conditions which
should regulate the provision of food a
mother makes for her household. The
man. woman or child who takes active
outdoor exercise can digest food that
person who leads sedentary life. This
distinction should be borne in mind when
planning the days meals. The members
Of the family who will engage in vigor-
GUS bodily work, outdoors or indoors, will
need something more substantial to eat
than those who are to be seated at a desk
or typewriter or sewing machine. The
latter should eat more lightly and their
food should be selected from among those
articles that give nourishment without
overtaxing the powers of digestion.
We all know persons who think 1t a
simple matter to eat indigestble food and
then take tablets of pepsin or something
else to assist the overworked stomach. I
heard a young girl who came of line of
dyspeptics asserting triumphantly one day
that she could eat almost anything with
out subsequent discomfort II she only put
enough red pepper on it.

heard her., "that may answer when 1t is
absolutely necessary, as you grow older.
But you are too young to be sticking spurs
into the side of your stomach like that
When it comes to the question between
| sticking in spurs in the first place or ap-
plying remedies to cure the harm the
spurs have done, one is hard put to it TO
decide which is the greater folly.

The Feminine Diplomatic Corps Or

Spies Opened Twenty Years Ago.

THE enormous advantage possessed by
women spies over men, especially in
oriental countries, was recognized twenty
years ago by the Russian government,
which took action to reap the benefits Of
the work of a corps of feminine diplo-
matte agents. In the orient it is the
women alone who can obtain admission
into Moslem or Buddhist families and 1t
has been proved more than once that a
woman can obtain more influence over
an oriental official or statesman than half
dozen men, trained tho they may be in
diplomacy.
So twenty years ago Russia arranged
her first special classes for training a
carefully chosen group of women for the
work. They learned Turkish, Persian Chi
nese, Japanese, and mastered many of
