A Brides Gifts

In these days of lavish wedding gifts
one might suppose a duchess who is
heiress to millions would send her
brothers bride something more costly
than a diamond sunburst Of no es-
pecial beauty. But the Duchess Of
Roxburghe gave to Miss Elsie Whelen
a diamond ornament only two inches
in diameter, and all the gossips Of
Philadelphia are criticising the gift.
Other presents from members of the
Wilson family were disappointing.
However, the jewels Robert Goelet gave
to his bride were compensating. Mrs.
Goelet had two engagement rings. One.
a large ruby was worn by her before
the engagement was announced. and
later Goelet gave her a ring with a
large diamond supported by fieur de
Inns of diamonds.
The riviere of emeralds the young
bridegroom gave was brought from
Europe, and it was the finest on sale
in Paris at the time. The value is said
to be $4,000. Mrs. II. Orme Wilson
gave tumblers mounted in solid gold
and the grand parents of MI. Goelet
Mr.. and Mrs. Richard T. Wilson. sem
six gold plates. Probably the daintiesi
gift of all was the jeweled shoe buck
les Mrs. William e. Carter gave. These
were broad buckles, set with diamonds
and Miss Whelen wore them on hei
wedding slippers.

Widows in Japan


Widows in Japan of whom there will

creased number. cut their hair short
and comb ii back plainly without a
parting. unless. indeed, they are pre-
pared to accept offers. in which case
they give a broad hint of their incli-
nations by twisting their hair round
a long she'll hairpin placed horizontally
across the back of the head. Mar
riageable maidens distinguish. and, as
it were. advertise themselves by comb
ing their locks high in front and ar
ranging them in the form of a butter
fly (Which is something to be caugh),
or a fan half open, and adorning these
significant designs with bright colored
balls and gold or silver cord. Speak
ing generally, the dressing Of the hair.
which is changed at intervals from
childhood upward. is an indication of
the age and position OF the simple
minded and fascinating female Jap.

JUST FOR and
ABOUT WOMEN
The Naughty Miss May

Miss Isabel May. who attended the
horse show here with the Nanderbilts,
is accused by some people OF arrogance
of manner. 1t Is true that with folk
she does not know she is reserved to
the point of haughtiness Miss May is
fully aware OF the position of her fam
ily.
Only only did Miss May forget her
pride and lend her presence to an affair
of doubtful Importance. That was
when she was a bridesmaid at the mar
rlage of Miss Alice Thaw to the Earl Of
Yarmouth. Every one was amazed
when she identified herself with that
wedding. But she and Miss Thaw were
good friends and she overlooked the
fact that the Thaws were not consid-
cred on the top rung of the ladder.
Last winter a snubbing was given to
a Washington girl who introduced her
self to Miss May at a diplomatic re-
ception. The girl rushed up effusively
and told Miss May her name. MY
mother is giving a dance for me next
month and we want you to come" she
said. DO, please. Miss May" An in
vitation was sent. but Miss May sent
an icy cold note, saying she would not
be present.
