DUCHESS DE ROABURGEs NEE MAY GOBLET
The death Of the good old duke" as
the London people loved, tip speak OF the
Duke of Cambridge, has ssadly >interfered
with the plans OF the Duchess Of Rox-
burghe. who will not be able to be pre-
scented on her marriage, to use the quaint
English term. -ThezEalra Wing-r rooms have
been Cancelled, as tiis court is in mourn
ing, and it is probable that the royal visit
to Floors castle also: will be postponed.

would be unusually, brilliant and many
Amerfcans were to have been presented.
Of cloth Of gold sewn with gold threads in
a -designsUf lilies and the gowns Of the
American brides were quite as royal in
price If less majestic in effect.
At the suggestion Of Mrs. Ogden Goe-
let Floors castle has been so modernized
that the duke wf1l~hardly recognize it.
The old-fashioned ways have been fol-
lowed so faithfully--for the succession of
servants, like that Of the family, went
back in an unbroken line--that there is
nothing more modern than the row Of
brass .candlesticks with which the guests
light themselves to bed.
The Introduction Of electric lights and
bells has shocked the OLD servants beyond
expression and the installation of a steam
heating plant and the abandonment Of the
apartments, has had d demoralizing effect.
Mrs. Goelet has encouraged her daughter
| in her efforts to have the place made COM
| Portable as we'll as sanitary, and no Amer
}ican could be comfortable without cleo
| trio lights and bells. So the castle will
be renovated from moat to parapet, in
spite Of the objections Of the retainers.

The recent death Of the German field
marshal, Count Won Waldersee, recalls the
strange romance Of his wife, who was an
American girl, the daughter Of a. New
York grocer. retired and rich, but still a
grocer. The story Of the life of Mary
Esther Lee reads like q chapter from the
newest Of romantic novels, but it all be-
gan years ago when Prince Frederick Of
Schleswig- Holstein, a man Of 10 with
more money and ,honors than he knew
what to- do WITH renowned his royal
titles In order to marry the little Ameri-
can. He lived only. six months and in due
time his widow married Count Won Wal
'dersee, whose niece became the present
empress of Germany.
The young princess was very fond Of
her American aunt. who had much to do
in directing her education and forming
her character. The emperor's mother dis
liked and feared the countess. Par

We're some of the epithets showered on
her head, but when swords were measured

and the daughter of the New York grocer

than Bismarck. When the countess won
Bismarck lost hts influence and the great
German field marshal had to step aside
to make way for the husband of the
American woman.

syouuy religious and she has been warmly
seconded in all Of her philanthropic en-
terprises by the emperor, She has built
and endowed churches; begun the work of
erecting a great Protestant cathedral in

large measure, the abolition Of Sunday

the shop girls and her efforts to reform

TAPESTRY HUNTING
THE NEWEST FAD
The Search for Antiques Has Devel-
oped a Craze for the Almost Price,
Fabulous, Sums Are Paid for Them
Orders Left with London Dealers.

It is mapya year since hunting old ma
hogany tables and chairs began to be a
fad with wealthy women and furniture has
given place to silver, silver to cut glass
and china and now, tired OF searching
around in old junk shops for some treas
ure to find after fabulous sum has been
spent for it that 1t is only a clever repro
ductiOn, society has taken new pet and
tapestries are the desire Of the woman
who is devoted to antiques. =
A more extravagant mania could hard
ly be imagined, for old tapestries. are al
rare as they are desirable, and before one
starts on a search for some hanging, 1t
would be well to make sure that ones
purse is full. and that there is a balance
in the bank.
The books Of the London dealers show
the names Of many Americans in their
order lists and they have promised some
dozen or more favored customers private
information as soon as anything Is dis
| covered, Whether the information will be
sufficient to- go around. the dozen or not
| Is uncertain, but the competition will keep
| up the pfice--which is the most important
feature for the dealers.
| Lady Nay1or Leyland, who was an
American girl, recently found treasure
| In an Old chest, a great bundle Of valu-
able squares Of tapestry that had been
tucked away for nobody :knows how long.
They were shown at ball IN the Hyde
Park town shouss which Lady Leyland
gave for the purpose OF exhibiting her
I find. and were hung I'M the BALLROOM.
They are fitted into the walls ana at the
touch Of a spring they will drop to the
floor and roll mp in portable form, SO
that in case Of fire the tapestries stand
as good a chance of being saved as any
other valuable.
| j. Fl. Smith and J. j. Van Allen are
among the.Americans who want tapestries
and the Duke Of Marlborough is DESTROYS
Of adding. to his collection, which in
cludes handsome set Of Gobelins which
will be placed In the ballroom of the new
London house. There are also some mag
nif1cent tapestries at Blenheim, but the
duke probably thinks that it is impossible
to have too much of anything SO valu-
| able as old tapestry.

the smartest of all models, and the lace or
embroidery both in entire deux and in me-
dallions is inserted In such clever fashion
that'it looks as tho woven in the material.
In the finest grass cloth this style OF
gown, with lace and embroidery the exact
shade of the material and with yoke of
fine tucked muslin and lace, is to be seen
in some especially desirable styles atho it
must be admitted that the white with
wide bands and flounces Of the open work
tambour embroidery are exceedingly eff
fective and most becoming. The pointed
bodices Of satin or taffeta or chiffon velvet
are worn with this model In preference
to the belt and sash ends and the bodice
at the back fs finished with ends fastened
with rhinestone buttons.
The more elaborate style Of muslin with
ruffles and nounces, looks well worn with
a sash, and 1t may safely be asserted that
this is to be a summer Of belts and sashes
and ribbon trimmings, for among the new
est models there are many most elaborate
ly trimmed with ribbons. Colored silk
slips, to be worn under the transparent
muslins and batiste, somehow seem to de-
mand sashes and bows to correspond in
color to the silk slip, and fortunately this
year there are so many exquisite ribbons
to choose from, and often at comparative
ly low prices, that 1t will be possible for
every one to have many different rib
bons as could possibly be wished for and
at the same time have a few dollars to
spend on other accessories Of dress.
