GOSSIP FROM GOTHAM

In a simple log cottage in the pine
forest near Paul Smiths in the Adiron-
dacks lives little old woman in the
seventies whose daughters have given
the family name worldwide fame. She
IS Mrs. Antonio Yznaga. Surrounded
by several servants, she passes most
uneventful summer with only books
and magazines for companions. Her
daughters are scattered to the four
corners of the earth. One of them.
Lady Lister-Kaye, is in Pekin; Consul
clio, dowager Duchess of Manchester.
is in poor health in England, and Mrs.
YZanga, only once has seen her great
grandchildren, the offspring of the
young Duchess of Manchester. Hers is
indeed solitary old age, but Mrs.
Henry B. Hollins who has an adjoining
camp, often sits for hours with little
old Mrs. Yzanga.
1t will be to see her mother that the
Dowager Duchess of Manchester will
come to America this summer New
port would not be an inducement to the
fascinating duchess, who confesses she
is world weary. There is little in the
way of social triumpf1s that the eldest
of the Yzangas has not achieved. At
present she is living in EulwelI Park.
Twickersham and on account of her ill
health she is refusing all invitations for
house parties. However, the duchess
entertains weekend parties, and the
Americans who are on her list are as

With the advancement Of the sea-
son more and more fascinating cos
tunes keep appearing, and it seems as
if there was no end to the new effects
that can be obtained by clever modists
from the old 1880 fashions
Not only are new models appearing,
but the manufacturers are keeping
pace with the dressmakers by produc-
ing continually new tints and finishes
in their goods.
For instance, at a certain smart tea,
recently given in Newport, three or
four women appeared in gowns of abb
solutely new shades, and, while all the
gowns seen were remarkably smart
these attracted the most attention by
the novelty and beauty of their colors.
The most charming of these gowns was
made Of asparagus pink messaline silk.
This color is that delicate tint seen on
the tips of fresh young asparagus and
blends exquisitely with creamy colored
lace and pale green trimmings.
Another smart gown of messaline
silk, which is, by the way, one of the
loveliest of the new silks having a

Their Love Letters in Shorthand


The girl who was late for luncheon
came into the restaurant hurriedly,
muttered a few words Of apology and
laid her purse and some papers on. the
table.
Why. Mildred said the hostess,
what in the world is all that short
hand stuff? You are not thinking of

HOUSEHOLD TALKS

The alluring cherry at the bottom of
cocktail has been pronounced by DR..
III. w. Wiley, chief of the bureau of
chemistry of the United States depart
ment of agriculture, to be one of the
most barefaced frauds in the whole list
of adulterated foods. He declares that
this cherry retains only the skin and
cellular tissue of what was once a
luscious fruit, and that before reaching
its destination at the bottom of a cock
tail 1t has been bleached with sulphur,
soaked in brine, filed with glucose and
favored with prussic acid.
Sometimes the best water supplies
in the world will get disturbed and the
water become muddy. A little corn
meal stirred into pailful of such wa
ter clears it rapidly by carrying the
mud that is in suspension to the bot
tom.
Glycerin and lemon juice in equal
parts are extolled by some physicians
as substitute for the cracked ice
which used to be used to relieve
parched mouth. The ice, it is said, only
leaves the mouth more parched.
