NINE. LoUBET SENDS GIFTS TO ITALY
The French President Carried Elab-
crate Souvenirs to the Royal Prin-
cesses and Delivered Them with a
Motherly Message from His Wife
Nine. Loubet's Tact and Wit Have
Aided Her Husband.

President Loubet on his recent visit to
Italy carried with him as presents from
his wife to the little prineesses, Yolande
and Mafalde, some most elaborate toys.
For Yolande there was a toy dining room
of old oak, exquisitely carved, to repre-
sent the period the Anjou princess for
whom Yolande was named. The presses
in this little room are filled with the
finest table linen and the tankards and
ewers of silver, the few knives and twoA
pronged forks, a great curiosity in those
days, were copied from dinner service
in the Cluny museum, SO that the small
owner may keep house with historical
accuracy.
The Princess Mafalda received g. doll
a peasant woman of Yvetot, France, in
the costume of the district, on her way
to market, riding a life-lilze horse laden
with panniers filled with all sorts of toys,
miniature vegetables and fruits. Motherly
Nine Loubet was afraid that the little
princess might find the cherries too
tempting and President Loubet delivered
a message to the queen when he pre-
sented the toy 'Mme. Loubet desired
me to ask you to be careful. Do not let
the princess put the cherries In her
mouth" he said.
Nine. Loubet's thoughtfulness and tact
are we'll known in the French capital
and her husband is quick to recognize the
debt he owes to her gracious influence.

ELABORATE PLANS FOR A WEDDING
a Cardinal Will Bring the Pope's
Blessing from Rome to Philadel-
pllia Girl, and Her Bridal Process
sion Will Include Fifteen Maids and
q Hundred Pages and Flower Girls.

The full nuptln ceremony OF the Cath
olio church. which is seldom used, even
for royal marriages in Europe, will be
read with all its ponnp and grandeur for
the first time in America at the wedding
of Miss Margaret Maloney of Philadelphia
and Carberry Ritchie of Washington, d.
G. There will be two cardinals, as many
archbishops and any number of lesser
church dignitaries in the chancel and If
teen bridesmaids, hundred flower girls
and several score Of pages will attend the
bride. This elaborate ceremony will take
place in the 100000 chapel built at the
Maloney country place. Spring Lake, N.
j., by Mr.. Maloney in memory Of a daugh-
ter who died in infancy. The house was
copied after the White House in Washing
ton. and is set in beautiful Italian gar
dens, which will form an appropriate
background for SO elaborate a ceremony.
Cardinal Satollf will come from Rome to
stands high in the pope's affections. Mr..
Maloney is known in Roman clerical cir
cles as the s'church builder Of America"
1t was he, so it is said, who paid for the
renovations In the famous Church Of St.
John of Lateran. He had visited the
church and noted its ruins and when he
spoke to one Of the cardinals he was told
it would cost 100000 lire to restore it
and that the money was not forthcoming
II will gladly write you a check
promptly replied the loyal son Of the
church, "and I know Of few greater hon
ors than the privilege Of restoring that
splendid old church,

as he does when the aid he furnished the

built wire frame which is covered care
fully with mousseline.
The shape that all sorts and conditions
of features will find available is rather
broad in the front and on the sides, and
trifle shorter in the back, The soft frills
dipping slightly over the face induce a
softness which renders the bonnet gener-
ally becoming.
The outer ruffle comes first. This is
fulled on, being graduated towards the
back in order to give the required shape.
Facing is the next step. This, too, Is
managed with series of graduated ruff
hes, narrower In the back than in the
front.
When three or four frills have been APP
piled to the top and sewed securely into
place, you are ready for the little crown
piece This Is easily made by plating q
strip Of the lace in circular rosette fash
ion, It Is used to top off the sequence
Of ruffles, and should be just enough of q
decrease in size to give consistent effect
to the whole.
The flower is, of course, the finishing
touch. This is often large-sized pink or
yellow rose, which is attached at some
artistic angle along the side.
And the entire hat costs but $4 It need
not require a penny more this year, with
imitation lace and millinery blooms at
moderate prices The question is merely
one of judicious selection. Many ma
terials are available for building in this
way. The softest Of white mulls and lawns
are prime favorites.

to wash dishes, sweep and do similar
tasks with gloves on. In that case it is
well to quote to her the remark of the
French lover, when his well-beloved had
demanded Difficult tact from him. Mad
anne, the thing is impossible therefore
| 1t shall be done.' little practice will
prove to her that it is by no means i'm
possible. If she shrinks from wearing the
| rubber gloves that come for such use. let
her take a pair of old gloves belonging to
| a man Of the house. cut off the finger tips
stitch the ends of the seams SO that they
will not ravel out and put these gloves
into service to protect her hands. The
worst soil will be kept from them, as will
be the chapping that is the result Of
plunging the hands first into hot water
and then into cold.
| But there are other means Of taking care
| Of the hands. Always there should be
| close by the wash basin a bottle of glycer-
| inc and rosewater or of some other prep
| aration which will Whiten and soften the
skin, and this should be used whenever
the hands are washed. There should be a
lemon with which to take stains from the
/ fingers, a bit of pumice stone to remove
| those that are more obstinate. The house,
/ keeper should know that the fumes of a
Il lighted sulphur match will take out the
stains made by huling strawberries, and
Il that one can restore hands that are sod
den after holding them in hot water by
Il putting them In vinegar for few minutes.
H There should be an orange stick at hand
/ to clean the finger nails and a little pow
i dered pumice stone for the worst stains
i under the nails
II The woman who stays In the house has
Il really an easier time keeping her hands
Il in order than does the outdoor woman
altho the latter wins so much by her
| fresh air habits that she should be willing
! to have more trouble for the sake of
/ them. She, too may wear gloves-but she
/ does not, as rule. On the contrary, tho
| ambition of the present day woman seems
to be to get not only her hands but her
arms and neck as brown as the circum
stances will permit. 1t may be a SEN
sble fad but it does not conduce to
charm. There seems to be no good reason
why a woman should not keep her com
plexion and her health at the same time.
1t is not much of a bondage to put little
cold cream and powder on ones face be-
fore for spin {, e,
and to make an application of the same
sort after one returns. 1t Is certainly bet
ter than a peeled nose and blistered
cheeks. ~.
Now that every woman, practically, is
riding a wheel, it behooYes womenkind in
general to give some thought to the care
of the skin If we would not have a set
of girls with much injured compilations.
"There isn't a complexion in the state
of Texas" I heard stated one day. The
harsh Winds the hot sun accounts for
.. that. But there is no reason why girls ir
= other parts Of the union should impose
: upon themselves Texas conditions. They
. must ride Wheels they must take other
forms Of outdoor exercise. But why
should they not at the same time indulge
! in few simple precautions which will

Smart and Economical.

At least one smart summer wrap must
be included in the summer wardrobe, and
this can be accomplished without a very
large expenditure if sufficient ingenuity
Is employed. An intensely becoming lit
tie shawl-shaped mantlet can be built Of
mousse1ine in several ;thicknesses and Of
different shades of the same color. The
flve-point model Is a good one, having
one point in the middle of the back, one
one each side and two in front Have
the undermost shawl of the deepest shade,
and the upper ones Of the lighter shades
Each shawl should be hemstitched at the
bottom, and there should be enough Diff
ference in the size to show the several
distinct hens.
Another pretty wrap very easy to make
is of violet and striped taffeta, having
three graduated capes Of single thickness,
edged with ruching. Each cape has a
loose lining of violet chiffon, and a ruch-
ing of chiffon is used as a finish at the
throat

Suggestions have already been given as
to the protection that may be accorded
the complexion II the girl who is going
to expose herself to the sun and wind will
apply little--a very litte-cold cream to
the face and then dust 1t with powder
before she mounts her wheel or starts for
her other outdoor sport. This application
may be wiped from the skin when she
comes home and with it will come the
dust that has settled on the face
The girl who lives in the open air all
day should do few things to her face
and hands when she goes to bed at night.
She should wash them in warm water, dry
them with soft cloth and put on some
sort Of cold cream or other good
unguent. Not enough to make the skin
so tender that it will chap and burn the
more readily. There are good preparations
on the market that will not soften the
skin too much. After the cold cream has
been left on a few minutes 1t should be
wiped from the face with a. soft cloth
With the cream will come the dust that
has sifted into the pores during the dsy
Then the face should be washed again
and dried once more. The hands should
be covered with gloves at night, If those
worn during the day. But there is no use
in going barehanded in the hot sun al
day and then sleeping in gloves at night
It only makes the skin more tender and
more ready to burn and tan.
The nails should never be neglected. It Is
not enough to keep them merely clean
They should be well trimmed, the skir
pushed down from the base of the nail
They should not be allowed to remai1
stained and If they are blunted or broker
in irregular fashion they should be e'ot
into shape On such little points as TIL.
