MAY YoHE SINGING

old songs, Ma Honey, Ma Honey"

and mother were Lord and Lady Lieu
tenant of Ireland, and they had an ex-
citing time of it altogether. The
country was convulsed with political
strife, while a devastating famine
swept the land, but the late Duchess
was equal to the occasion. She worked
hard to ameliorate the conditions of the
people and by her personal aid many
Irish families were kept from starving
She even enlisted the cooperation of
music hall artists.
The poor old Duke stood silently
while the Duchess worked; indeed, she
practically administered the Govern
ment of Ireland. 1t is believed in Ire
land that that identical position will
be repeated when the present Duke and
his wife act for the time being as King
and Queen in Ireland. At any rate, an
enthusiastic member of Parliament
discussing with the writer yesterday
the prospects of the Duchess going to
Ireland, summed up his remarks thus:

STYLES FOR WOMEN
UGLY, SAYS PARTISAN
Costumer Says the Fashions Are Not

PARIS, April pa prominent pho
tographer, when interviewed this week
on the prevailing women's fashions,
said he considered them ugly, and that
it never has been more difficult than
at present to produce handsome photo
graphs on account of the unesthetic
costumes. 1t is inexplicable, he said,
that handsome women will consent to
wear such complicated toilets. A re-
action is certain to come soon, with
flat plated skirts following the natural
outline. He considers that automo-
billing makes women neglect beauty in
dress
Fashions latest decree is that women
must wear either large or diminutive
hats, according to the style of the fea-
lures. 1t is noticeable at the races that
big capelines made of horsehair are
popular. The stylish woman wears lace
falling over the hair in what is known
here as the imperatrice style. Principal
materials for dresses this summer will
be voile tussore, muslin taffetas The
toilet for balls is considered incomplete

novelty being crowns consisting of
laurel leaves made of gold copied

surroundings OF Dublin Castle is the
dingy little lodge in Phoenix Park
where the Duke and Duchess will have
70 spend most of their time. 1t is an
insult TO the dignity of a King and
Queen of Ireland TO be asked TO live
in such a place. Originally erected as
q leeper's lodge, it has been added to
and embellished at their own expense
bv successive Lord Lieutenants, in
cIuding the renowned Lord Chester
field.
Dublin Castle is merely the seat of
the Government in Ireland and has
no domestic accommodations except for
fiunkies and castle servants. 1t has
an interesting history, for around IT

intimately associated with the history
Of ireland and England, as we'll as
some of the most famous men of the

and the secret service have their head

Dol of British rule in Ireland. 1t will
be the duty of the detective depart
ment referred to TO provide protection
for the Duke and Duchess just as
Scotland Yard in London does for the
King and Queen; even more so, because
the Government in Ireland is always
doubtful of the loyalty of the Irish
people and especially those of Dublin.

Social Leaders Scott at

Crusade.

LONDON. April 2S.-"No smoking al
lowed except by gentlemen guests" is
the significant announcement displayed
at the Ladies' Park Club, one of the
latest additions TO feminine clubdom
in the fashionable West End. Its sig
nificance lies in the recognition of the
fact that in the absence or any prohi-
bition to the contrary il is now as
sumed, as a matter of course, that. wo-
men are free to smoke in fashionable
women's clubs. No such injunction
against feminine use of the cigarette
is found in the rules of the Ladies
Athenaeum Club; the Ladies Military
or Naval Club or. the Lyceum Club,
which have just been started for we'll
to-do women.
The woman of any position or cul-
ture at all who objects TO women smok-
ing is nowadays a very rare person,
indeed" said the secretary of one of
these new clubs. scornfully. "Of
course" she added, 4 could name a
dozen or so of very decent women who
don't smoke themselves, but they don't
turn up their noses al women who do
smoke. The time has gone by for
that"
Just how far London's feminine club
dom will go in it's quietly conducted
but persistent campaign for the eman-
cipation of women from the ordinary
restraints imposed upon them by con-
yaationality there is no telling. What
iliey aim at is to allow women the
same privileges in women's clubs that
are enjoyed by men In mems clubs
the right to do pretty much as they
please so long as they don't interfere
with the exercise of the same right by
other members. And they are getting

taste in it. Let me have a box of

The complexion ring" is the latest
result of the eternal search for costly
feminine novelties. The shape of this
ring and the color of the stones set
in it are made dependent on the shape
and color of the wearer's hands. In
accordance with this scheme. a lady
who possesses hands of exceeding
whiteness, and wishes to emphasize
that fact, would be provided with
ring set with turquoises, and the shape
and size of the ring would be made
to conform to the length Of the fingers.
Proprietors of beauty shops. however,
are taking advantage of the new fash
ion by declaring that by certain mys-
terious manipulations and cosmetics
they can adapt the color and shape
of the hand to the ring for far less
than it will cost to get ring to suit
the style Of the hand. The lady who
wishes to be up to date pays her money
and takes her choice of the two meth
ods. Colored diamonds, il is said, will
be the vogue this season, especially
those of an amber or canary hue. Hith-
erto diamonds have usually been cut
with table or fat fronts. Now it is
said they are to have pointed fronts,
which will increase their brilliancy.

Millionaire Says He

lament.

LONDON, April 23.-It has been dis
covered only recently that William
Waldorf Astors views are rather oddly
divided on the subject of imperial and
local politics in this country. 1t is
matter of common knowledge that he
is a Conservative in matters imperial
and that he supports his views by gen
erous subscriptions to the Primrose
League and other institutions for the
ganda. After the death of his daugh-
ter Mr.. Astor kept aloof from politics
for a time. Lately, however he was
approached by the Moderate Cor Con-
servative) party in the London Coun-
Gil with the view of contesting seat
in Paddington, where a fierce battle
was to be waged for the repossession
of two seats which the Moderate party
lost at the election three years ago.
The leaders of the party in. the con-
stituency were, however. almost dunn
founded when they learned from Mr..
AStor that he was a strong admirer of
what the London County Council had
been doing for London, and that if he
could make up his mind at all to con-
test seat it would be in the Progress
sive-or Liberal-interest. 1t appears
that at his clubs and among his friends
Mr.. Astor has always avoided discuss
ing municipal matters, and being
known as a Conservative his friends
naturally concluded that he must be
Moderate.
