There live just outside London an
American and his son who have
earned their ample fortunes by look
ing after the teeth of several royal
European households. Just by chance,
when travelling in Switzerland some
fifteen years ago, these two Amer
leans developed for themselves this
unique branch Of dental practice.
In the hotel at which they put up
the late Empress of Austria was stop
ping, and word got round that her
Majesty, then in very feeble health,
was suffering acute torture from a
tooth. So keen was her pain that To-
cal physicians were summoned to aid
those who travelled in her suit i'll al
laying the obstinate Inflammation.
The local practitioners were as unable
to aid the royal invalid as her own
physicians, and when word reached
the hotel guests to the effect that the
Empress was in Mysteries from pain
the elder of the American dentists
volunteered to assist in affording any
possible relief.
He was hurried into the royal pres
ence, supplied with the best set OF
instruments that could be got to-
gether, and in a half hour he came
forth to announce that her Majesty
was just falling into peaceful dose.
Later the Empress thanked him
personally for the good effects of his
treatment, bestowed upon him a
Jewel and advertised his skill SO wide
ly in royal circles that the American
and his son decided to transfer their
energies to the high class European
practice that was loudly calling for

CORRECT HOUSE GOWNS FOR VARIOUS OCCASIONS

THE four distinct occasions for
which a certain etiquette OF
apparel is demanded i'll the
home may be summed up in
the four repasts which regulate a we'll
governed household having some
leaning toward the ways of fashion
and social amenities.
There is, first, the breakfast hour,
which calls for a pretty shirt waist
and skirt, or better still, one Of the
charming morning frocks that are
holding a place of Importance this
season.
Then comes the luncheon at which
one entertains a few friends and for
which one dresses as for calling and
carriage wear. In other words, as
richly as is compatible with daylight
and street usage.
This same gown is quite appropri-
ate for the afternoon call, which ter
inmates with an informal reception
and five o'clock tea, but i'll this case

dinner, which, as it is formal or in
formal, calls for raiment as elaborate
and elegant as can be afforded.

1t seems as though the separate
skirt and shirt waist are not to be
in evidence this season. The new
morning frocks are all in "a piece"
A charming model for morning
house wear is a breakfast gown of
white serge, with cluny insertions,
worn over an underskirt of scarlet
silk. The snug yet easily falling

Chantilly lace is also used to drape
the French hat. The brim is irregu-
larly curved, with tulle roses, laven-
der tinted, massed on the side, and
lace draperies falling scarf-like in the
back
The picturesque, whether it be in
ancient or modern guise, is popular
for the hostess at the afternoon re-
ception. A beautiful model is a

New Wall PanerS.

Fabric effects are seen in some of
the new wall papers, silk, satin and
water or MORE surfaces being faith
fully represented. Papers Of this kind,
when used in a single gentle color,
give an air of richness and luxury to
an apartment. They are suitable for
pretty parlors, drawing-rooms, recep-
tion-rooms and boudoirs. Soft old

are delightful in silken surfaced pa

OIClDE OF lovers IN Japan IS
> called heart-death, passion
- death or love-death.
When a youth and maiden
would die together, being forbidden
marriage by stern parents, they bind
themselves fast together, face to face,
with the girls long crepe, silk girdle,
and leap into some deep lake.
Another way of committing heart
death" is for the lovers to make a lit
tie banquet for themselves, write let
tiers to their parents and mix some
thing bitter with their rice-wine, and
go to sleep forever.
/ The sacred forest of Yaegaki is
favorite retreat for youths and maid
ems, where love omens abound. The
enamOred cavalier writes the name Of
his sweetheart upon the polished bark
Of the bamboo growing in the forest,
but he never writes his own name
with it. He simply mentions his ex-
istence and his age only, as in this
touching instance:
That I may be welded to Takaki-
Toki. I hunbly pray. A youth Of
\ eighteen"

affairs if he can bend two branches
Of the camellia bush together, and
keep them united by tying a strip of
white paper about them, all with the

The accent Of the Canadian govern

THE REDENGE OF
TLUO AUTHORS

TWO aspiring authors in New
York are salving the wounds
J. the publishers have dealt
them by gleefully telling the
stories Of their i'll success.
One Of them had a manuscript re-
jected last spring by one of the lead
ing publishing houses in such a way
that the letter Of rejection was
soothing lotion to wounded hope. It
was a long personal letter, written by
one high in authority in the publish
ing house, and it dubbed over with
compliments about the art, the charm
and the value Of the manuscript, and
went on to say that they were return
ing it with much regret, as they feared
it was too far above the heads Of the
public, and would not reach com
mercial success.
Recently this author met the per
son high III authority, who remember
ed the name and at once asked what
had been done with the manuscript
The author replied that it had been
laid away to see if its selling quality
might not improve with age.
1T IS a charming thing" said the
publisher with much conviction. and
it ought to be published"
The other author took the manu-
script Of a novel to a publishing house
whose imprint is supposed to be 4
guarantee Of the highest quality Of
literary work done in this country.
A little later he was summoned to
conference with the head critic Of the
house, a man whose essays in literary
criticism have established his reputa-
ton as among the best of the critical
writers this country has produced. He
was very complimentary about the
manuscript
1T is all right" he said, but Ne
must consider the audience. This is
a capital story, but the matinee girl
wouldn't understand it. She wouldn't
know what it is all about And she
makes up so much Of the audience
that we have to consider her tastes"

and a fine lofty air with servants.
These are among the prime requisites
Of the ideal English governess.
Most Of the resident gOverneSses
Who come from England are hired on

countesseS and duchesses, and one
plain but clever damsel, who now has

because she had been employed by
English royalty and had written rec

coachman wears the same scarlet
livery as King Edwards lackeys.
This gOverness goes travelling every
where with the two girls whose educa-
ton is in her care She has taken
them through Europe. Personally
she gives them very few lessons in
anything but manners. Her business
is merely to sit by and see that they
practice faithfully, and that their high
priced masters give them their lessons

Why Continental
And American
Governesses Won't Do.

All these qualities count enormously
in her favor with the American mother
who is looking for the ideal instruct
ress and associate for her daughters.
The drawbacks to the foreign ''gou-
vernante" have always been her poor
table manners, her distrust Of the
beauties Of cleanliness, her fondness
for Partisan novels, and her lack OF
dignity. She was nice and clever, but
not always lady born. On the other
hand, the American private tutor Of
the petticoat persuasion has lots of
brains, but is usually a specialist. She
wants to grind the future society bud
in Latin or logarithms, and then, too,
she is a victim to nerves, and, being
ambitious, is quite hurt if she is not
treated as an equal.
It is obvious, therefore, how nicely

Mercerized sateens are much in
