seau that was ever made for an Amer
lean bride would be like.
When Miss Josephine DreXel. the
daughter of the founder of the banking
house which has Pierpont Morgan for
its head, became engaged to j. Duncan
Emmett, she declared that she would
have the most elaborate wedding that
was ever seen in New York. That
meant . great deal in a city whose
social affairs have caused a whole
world to gasp with astonshment ana
it was to carry out her plans that Miss
DreXel spent 100000. that she invited
twenty-five priests to stand in the
chancel and that she had the most
elaborate trousseau ever made for an
American.
The service was read in st. Patricks
Cathedral, says the Minneapolis Trib-
une. and the solos were sung by the
greatest singers in New York. They
were assisted by fifty trained choristers
and string orchestra as well as an or
gan. There was a bevy of pretty
bridesmaids and a corresponding num-
Der of brave ushers and the service was
followed by a reception at the DreXel
residence. Hundreds of branches of
white lilacs. thousands of bride roses
and as many lilies o. the valley were
used in the decorations. The bride
wore for jewels a diamond tiara and
pearl necklace, gifts of her mother,
and a pink topaz surrounded by dia-
mondS, a present from the bridegroom.

us from our ancestresses are many pre-
scriptions for the complexion composed
of marshmallow and wax. honey of
roses and olive oil. Mixed bathing in
tubs of water thickened with scented
bran and salutary herbs was the fash
ion in medieval France and recalled
the days OF Roman luxury. Vapor
baths date from an even earlier period,
and one wonders if there is any nos
trum to-day for the preservation of
beauty which was not known to those
professional beauties of France, Diane
de Poitiers and Ninon de PEnclos.
The question is. Are women really
any more admired to-day for being

DIDN'T ENJOY THE
ROUGH HOUSE.

do you know" said a debutante,
Tribune, by an older girl, and looking
around her with a. guilty air, as if
fearful of being overheard, ~ don't
really enjoy this rough housed You
have no idea how 1t bores me some
times; and yet II I didn't join in with
the skylarking they would think one
no good and not include me in their
parties. 1 wonder" she continued,
why it seems to be necessary to be
always hilarious and uproarious in or
der to enjoy things! If one did not
have to force ones self to be merry it
would be much nicer"
Where's Molly?" some one called
out. molly, come here: you've got to
be the tiger cat in our menagere."
The girl rose rather YEARLY. 81

get down on my hands and knees and

joining the group that was performing
various stunts with shrieks of
laughter was soon apparently the
gayest of the gay.
How much is real and how much is
forced in the merriment that seems to
be the order of the day in out-of-town
parties and small and intimate func-
tons of various kinds. is a question,
but it is likely that there are some in
telligent young men and women who
might prefer quiet conversation If they
had the courage of their convictions
and were not dominated by the pre-
dominate fear of all young people, i. e.,
the dread of being considered I'M
popular.
These young debutantes are great
fun" said an older society man. 1.-The
little dears are so naive in their ideas
of what constitutes festivlty. My
young niece described a dinner to

TACT AND TRUANT HUSBANDS.

The really tactful wife has the talent
for keeping her husband at home of
nights, and, as a consequence, there are
no domestic jars to be aired in the di-
vorce courts. This art seems almost
wholly comprised in a wife's continu-
ance after marriage of the charms that
made her attractive in courtship.
when the knot is tied don't throw
your counting aside" This is the pre-
scription of "A Happy Wife" who
drops into verse with the ease of a ST.
las Wegg and condenses into a brief
couplet the whole sum and substance
of post-matrimonial compatibility.
This happy matron speaks as the re-
suit of thirteen years Of married life
IT is fair to presume that in achieving
the admirable record of keeping her
husband al home evenings for that long
period she did not indulge in dowdy
dressing sacques for breakfast or an
swer with a cross word the growls that
sometimes will escape masculine lips
before the soup comes.
When the children arrived she prob
ably continued to recall that the hus-
band was still a member of the family.
She retained some of the girlishness,
coquettishness which had won him, re-
membered the optical effect of a new tie
on a fresh shirt waist, kept up the old
courtship, did" her hair as carefully
as of old. and in general preserved her
former attractiveness, while incident
ally contributing little thought to his
slippers and his creature comforts
The remedy for remissness in the
husband is entirely simple. The trou-
BILE lies in the application of it, which
involves some sacrifices of q Wife's own
comfort and sometimes of her pride.

A QUESTION OF ANCESTORS.

She wasn't quite sure, says the
Brooklyn Eagle, whether she ought to
permit herself to get on familiar terms
with the new neighbors. OF course it
was all right to be on sufficiently init
mate terms to borrow kettle now and
then, but there is a difference between
kettles and calls. Beside, she had re-

"Of course you have a genealogy"
she casually remarked to the neigh

full in the back yard.
What's that?" asked the neighbor.

The old resident was beginning to

WHEREFORE NO
RAINY DAISIES?

A woman who used to wear short
skirts, says the New York Press, thus
explains the decadence of the rainy
daisy movement: MANY females got
to wearing them too short, of course,
and received all the mems glances of
admiration while more modest ladies
were neglected. Husbands found them
too expensive. 1t was a new pair of
shoes every two weeks, and often
boots that buttoned up to the calf,
which are expensive. A woman who
could not afford new shoes or boots
refused to expose her old ones. A long
skirt hides rundown heels and unpol-
ished footwear. Those who affected
the short skirt never wore rubbers,
even in the worst weather, neither in
snow, rain, sleet nor hail. Rubbers
spoil the contour of the foot, and ev-
cry woman on earth despises them.
English women alone wear them, and
only the mannish sort at that. Snow
is especially hard on leather shoes,
and without the protection of rubbers
they become an extravaganza"

LOVE AND LOVE.

''You see. there's a mighty difference
between love and love-" according to
Henry Harland, in My Third Pros
pero. There's the love which is af-
lection, there's the love which is cup
board love and there's the love which
is just simply love-love and nothing
else. The first, as you have truly OBJ
served, has its roots in a consanguin-
ity or association, the second in a
lively hope of future comforts, and
either is sufficiently applicable. But
the third has it's roots apparently in
mere haphazard and causelessness, and
isn't applicable by any means whatso-
ever, and yet it's far and away the
violentest of the three. 1t falls as the
lightning from the clouds and strikes
whom it will. Though I mix my meta
phors fearlessly, like a man, I trust,
with your feminine intuition, you fol-
low me-
mo" said Annunziata, without COM
junction, her eyes on the distance, Il
don't know what you mean"
Thank heaven, you don't; pray
heaven you never may" said her in
consequential friend For love-love
is a plague. You meet a person, for
example, in a garden. You know moth
ing whatever about her, not even her
name, though you fear it may be
Schmidt. You meet her not more than
half a dozen times all told. And sud-
denly one morning you wake up to dis
cover that she has become to you the
person of first Importance in the world"

WHAT MAKES BEAUTY.

In a recent interview David Belasco,
says the New Orleans Picayune. who is
the one man in the World who seems
able to create genius, declared that
the elusive quality we call tempera-
ment constituted not only woman's
greatest charm. but her beauty. He
said
Have you never noticed the thou
sand and one shadows and lights that
chase themselves across the face of a
person of temperament? IT. is a hard
word to define that. temperament, but
we all know what it means and we
know it when we see it.
"Duse has temperament, Bernhard
has temperament, and so has Mrs. Car
ter.
THE woman whose beauty is with
out flaw, the woman with the faultless
face and form rarely has temperament
to any great extent. That quality is
held almost exclusively by her palmer
sisters.
'Why is it? Possibly a compensa-
ton OF nature. 1t may be. One rea-
son for it is this:
( From her infancy she is taught to
believe that she is beautiful: she is
overconscious and she is usually vain.
All that handicaps her power of ex-
preston. What temperament she may
have is smothered, and she finally loses
it entirely.
"She is so afraid that a genuine emo
ton might produce a wrinkle that she
smothers the emotion Immediately for
fear of the result.
You watch the pretty, doll-like face,
surrounded by the soft, beautiful hair.
perhaps. There is something lacking
there, some warmth. some swift. wild
emotion that springs from the heart
and soul and is imprinted on the tace
by a lightning stroke.
You note again the face of fasci-
mating, interesting woman: you note
the swift look of intelligence, her grace,
her laugh.
You could put that woman in a room
where there were a hundred women
magnificent from the standard of
classic beauty, and she will be the most
admired. the most sought after, the
most remembered one there. Why?
Because she has that mysterious, mar
velous quality we call temperament"

OLD AND NEW
AIDS TO BEAUTY.

the extravagant fashion in which new

innovations, but cosmetics and medi-

70 HONOR DANIEL BOONE.
Monument to BE Erected to the Pioneer
Kentuckian's Memory.

Monument to BE Erected to the Pioneer
Kentuckian's Memory.
Among the bills passed by the last
Kentucky Legislature, that providing
for the erection OF ii monument ut
Boonesboro, to the memory OF the
great pioneer, Daniel Boone, Is most
praiseworthy and appropriate. 1t will
be q fitting testimonial to the sterling
worth Of great man, who braved the
dangers of the unbroken forest 100
years ago and planted here the seed
of progress. 1t was he who blazed
the trail over the hills and through the
wilderness from Virginia, and led
more peateably inclined settlers into
this garden spot of Garth. To him is
plorer.
There is much Of the romantic to
be observed at Boonesboro; much to
remind the twentieth century youth
Of the turbulent life led by the pioneer
and his little band down here under
the hills by the waters edge. The
winding river, gliding noiselessly by,
between the steep, rugged hills; the
remnants of the great forest which
once spread it's towering branches
over all the landscape; the ever faith
full spring, egurgling up from the roots
of a massive sycamore, placidly and
freely as in the days when hostile In
dams lurked in the underbrush, tend
to impress one with the magnifcence
of nature and the magnitude Of
Boone's undertaking.
He was no commonplace man, and
this no commonplace spot. One can
but admire the wisdom shown by its
selection. 1t commands an unobstruct-
ed view Of the river, either way, for
half q mile; the hilltops receding too
