A Group of Aristocratic French Wom-
Club for Their Small Children,
Which Is Managed Exactly Like
an Organization for Fashionable
Grown Ups.

Several clubwomen, just homo from a
visit in Paris, are aghast at the newest
feature in club life: an exclusive club for
babies, which is the talk Of all Paris. It
is called the Casino DIES Enfants and is
situated In the fashionable Champs Ely
sees. The suggestion came from a sar-
paper, which aplanned such an arrange
ment for the amusement of the children,
while their mothers were at the races,
teas receptions or clubs. Instead Of re-
senting the idea, the mothers took it UP
and the babies club became reality.
The club is not q creche or day nur
sery, where the babies are taken care Of
for nominal sum, but 1t is regular
club, with handsome rooms beautifully
furnished and decorated with palms and
flowers, and the small members come
with their nurses to play in the spacious
halls. In one room Is merry around
of bicycles, in another are swings, en-
closed in bamboo ratings, and seesaws.
Spinning tops Is favorfte diversion and
the mites make wagers on which top
will spin the longest with all the nom
chalance of old clubmen.
In the main hall is big artificial lake
filled with goldfish and the children de-
light to catch them with nets on long
poles. The governess or nurse is close
at hand when the baby fisherman casts
In his net and when the fish Is caught,
the governess quickly returns 1t to the
lake. SO that it may be caught again and
again.

OF age, and was graduated from Vir-
ginia institute, Bristol, Tenn, where she
demonstrated superior intellectual pow

New Claimant to the Title Of the Rich
est Woman in the World Is Mrs.
Annie Walker Of Philadelphia, Who
Has Inherited an Income Of $4,000
a Day from Her Father. r.

Hetty Green has found rival in the
h he of the qqinine king, Mrs. Anne
Welghtman. Walker, who inherited a
fortune Of $60,000,00O on the death Of
her father, William Weightman, which
occurred recently. Mrs. Walker is as
much woman Of business as Mrs.
Green, but she has not the same dislike
for spending money and altho she is not
extravagant, she is always comfortable.
For years Mrs. Walker has assisted
her father in his business in Philadel-
member Of the firm. Since then she has
always gone to her office in an electric
carriage at 8 am. and until l O'Clock
she is occupied with the innumerable
matters which require the attention of
a woman Of fortune. Mr.. Weightman
worked as hard as any of his clerks and
his daughter works harder, for she has
not yet had the years of experience to
draw on when knotty point has to be
solved.
The details Of the Weightman bust
ness require her to be versed on affairs
in London, Venezuela, Paris or Persia
and the person who looks after them
must have a vast fund of information
to draw from. But Mrs. Walker has
been carefully trained and in company
with her father she has visited all Of
the immense holdings of the estate
which lie all over the world.

PERDICARLS CAPTOR BOUGHT "A BRIDE

There was nothing for Raisuli to do
If he wanted to marry the girl but find
the money, and this he did thru the
capture Of the two Americans whose
friends purchased their freedom for
$4,000. It all happened just as tho
bandit had planned, and, riding a milk
white mule with crimson trappings, he
arrived at the castle of the shereef.
Two slaves ran by his side to enhance
his dignity as he went wooing. He did
not waste time in bargaining after the
fashion of the orientals, who do not
buy even their brides without hag-
Cling over the terms, but offered to pay
the required 10000 at once Of he could
receive his bride with equal prompt
ness.
With princely generosity he pur-
chased an entire caravan load Of en-
broidered silks and furnishings and fit
ted~o his castle so that it was be-
yond the dreams Of even an oriental
beauty accustomed to sumptuous fur
nishings, and in this beautiful cage he
has placed his bride. His bold attempt,
unequaled in romance, succeeded, and
Pericardis and his stepson, Cromwell
Marley, played no small part in the
story, for without their ransom the
belle of the Riff tribe would be still
in her fathers home.

FOLDERS COLLECTED
European Travellers Seized by Fad for
Advertising Booklets.


The collecting of hotel folders seems to
have all the fascination which many an
other fad was wont to have before it be-
came worn out. Instead Of gathering to-
gether the postage stamps of various ma
lions, or theater programs, or restaurant
menus, many collector" is now filling
his scrapbooks with pictures of the pleas
ure palaces of England and the CONT
nent.
The booklets, which are sent out gra-
tuitously by European hotels to any one
who writes for them, are sometimes as
elaborate as art magazines. Hotels in
Italy and Switzerland. for example, are
likely to illustrate their folders with pic
lures Of Italian lakes and bits Of Alpine
mountain scenery. The lake pictures are
to attract those fond Of the water, and
the pictures Of the peaks and gorges are
designed to tempt mountain climbers.
Certain hotels Of France, Belgium, Hol-
land, Germany, Austria and Hungary
have q way Of weaving legends among
more staid geographical data. For ex-
ample, a table Of statistics concerning
railroad rates and time tables will follow
a. story Of some brave crusader and his
sweetheart, who became nun ere his re-
turn. The ancient fable will be made
more real by pictures Of a crumbling
tower where the lovers first met Or a
ruined window where they bade each
other q last farewell.
Hotels in Great Britain reflect much
of the life Of city. or country in their
folders. A house will furnish along with
pictures Of its own corridors and apart
mcrts sketches Of famous buildings in the
nejghborhood, or. perchance, the portrait
Of a famous man who was born near the
corner.
Altho these booklets cost the hotels no
| small sum each year to publish and send
out broadcast. yet the bread cast on the
| waters" is returned after many days tc
great enough degree to bring profit
Even If the collector Of hotel folders does
not go to all the hotels himself which are
represented III his collection, yet he shows
his prizes to others, who tell still others
about them. so that many a traveller who
might have landed aimlessly in some far.

GIRLS GROW BALD
Rated Pompadours Destroyed Policies
Forming In Scalp.

The girl who has INDUCED for the past
year or so in a big, fluffy pompadour Is
just now having her troubles.
Fashion has decreed that the hair shall
be parted in the middle and gently waved
on either side, but when the girl tries to
do this, she finds to her dismay q tend
ency to badness, squarely on top Of her
head, just where she ought to have masses
of soft hair. Il
This state of affairs Is due to one Of
two cause.-the habit of rafting the
hair, or of wearing an artificial pompa-
dour under the hair. "Ratting' the hair
backwards to make the pompadour higher
tore the hair, and the artificial pompa-
dour, or rat" overheated the head, killed
the hair beneath it, and burnt out the
hair newly forming in the follicles of the
scalp.
The trouble Is not beyond remedy, and
Its victim should at once begin massage,
giving the affected spots vigorous treat
ments twice day Vaseline or lanolin, or
good tonic, should also be rubbed into
the scalp.
False hair should be discarded, and If
any garniture Is worn to hide the dearth
of natural hair, let it be something light
| like tulle bows or the daintiest Of sill
| flowers.

WOMAN AIDS IN CATHEDRAL MAKING

a year she has been planning and study
ing her part Of the work.. for she is her
husband g assistant in all stages Of his
enterprise. She is a Vermont woman
and her early life was spent near the
quarries Of building and monumental
stone, so that she was familiar with the
methods Of handling great blocks Of
granite from her childhood.
She is very rnethodical and has de-
vised many new ways for lessening the
danger and strain of her work, and in
an emergency she knows what tool and
i'm element to use as promptly and as eff
fectively as her husband. She is as ia
miliar with cables, ropes, pulleys, levers
and scaffolds as most women are with
thinbles and needles, and in her black
wooden skirt, her light shirtwaist, and
her black hat, she looks trinity york
manlike, while a parasol or umbrella on

for the building Of cathedral Is surely
