HOME OF ITALY'S KING.
At San Rossore the Royal Family
Spend the Autumn Months.

From the London Globe.
San Rossore where the italian royal fam
lily pass their autumn months, is, without
exception the most beautiful estate owned
by the house of Savoy. 1t extends from
Viarreggio to Livorno, at the foot of the
Apuan Alps, combining the charm of the
seashore with the attractions of the noun
tains Formerly 1t belonged to the arch
bishops of Pisa. from whom the grand
dukes of Tuscany purchased it and made 1t
state property. which explains how it was
that in 1860, at the time of the annexation
of Tuscany to the kingdom of Italy, 1t
ranked as one of the gems in the civil list
of Victor Emmanuel II. The grand dukes
resided there the greater part of the year,
and one, Leopold H. built extensive farm
houses. within which are numerous breed
ing animals. About these farms wide
spreading fields where still horses. oxen.
cows sheep and buffalo Craze in peace. San
Rossore comprises also extensive cultivated
fertile lands; but the greater part of Ii
and that is its essential characteristic-is
the thickly planted woodlands, which yieid
an important revenue from the sale of It's
pine frees. In these woods game Is most
plentiful while in the lakes, ponds and
small streams there is any quantity of
fresh ter fish. At San Rossore one can
indulge in almost any sport for there are
wild boar, stays, reindeer, pheisants part
ridges and almost every species of inland
water fowl.
OF all the curiosities at San Rossore the
most curious, undoubtedly. are the ca nels

ordinary camels. They are historical
camels and would be proud OF IL were they
conscious of 1t, for IL is said their ancestors
figured in the crusades. History tells US
that these animals were brought from
Syria TO Pisa In galleys which the Pisan
republic had dispatched to the Holy Land
for the purpose of bringing back load OF
the mold from the grave Of Christ 1t was
supposed that this mold bad the peculi-
arity of absorbing the bodies buried I'm IL.
The Pisans intrusted with the mission OF
bringing 1t over evidently thought that
they could not do better when IL was ship
ped on board the galleys than to embark
as well the camels which had been laden
with It. These camels were sent to San
Rossore. They prospered and multiplied
there and 1t is their descendants which are
used for the purpose OF shifting the TIM
bers from the royal demesne.
With regard to the dogs I'm the kennels
at San Rossore. every breed In use for
sporting purposes has been perpetuated
there. from the remotest medieval tmes.
They have theiI hospital, as well as small
cemetery, with its accompanying tomb
stones on which are recorded the names OF
the dogs which had their feeting hours of
celebrity in the hunting field. With regard
to the chateau itself, 1t is of somewhat
modest appearance and dimensions, but IL
contains numerous works of art OF price
less value.
Victor Emmanuel III spent much of his
snare time a San RCssore between 1864
and 1S1c-that is TO say, at the time when
his capital at Florence and not at
Rome In 1868 the king became very Ill
and so serious was his condition that the
bishop of Pisa vas sent for to hear his con-
fesson The prelate came In haste and
thought to profit by the opportunity to ask
him to make certain political concessions

speak atout affairs of state you will find
my ministers in the next room; ebligo me
by going there"

Happy Sunflower State Girls.

In several counties of Kansas the new
census returns show that the men greatly
outnumber the women. This probably ac-
counts for the proud and lmperious disdain
of the Kansas maidens whose chances in
the matrimonial table of expectancy are
far brighter than in other and less favored
communities. In one county there is a
man and seven-eghths to every girl 1t is
said the girls of this county have devel-
oped the naughty eye and marble heart
along with xhe straight front and mincing
glide. TO the signing SWANS of this locality
they gave the trapped salutat ton in the Sc
eurity of knowing that If they fail to land
travelling man or a college harvest hand
they can always rely upon the local supply
of eligibles.

There circulates the information that
many Of our young members Of society,"
accredited with enjoying the pastimes
Of summer resorts, are in reality closet
ed with a cook book and delving into
the mysterious construction or the
pantry. How shocking!
still, this secretfve method should be
better than none. for the fact remains
that knowledge Of domestic industry is
essential TO schemes Of matrimony,
therefore, being essential, why the con-
'tinued instinct 10 hide the practical ac-
quirement?
A covert sneer greets an allusion TO
the maid behind closed doors during
the summer season. and there is diff
Guilty in ascertaining whether the sneer
is because Of her eschewing the outdoor
pleasure or. because she hides that
which she is doing.
Does society impose so great a disci-
pine as TO demand an accomplishment
without the outer worlds cognizance
of the machinery's motion?
Miss - must be a belle at cotil-
Ion or tea-handsome, graceful, versa
tile; also during fashionable infor-
malities Of summer she must be seen
at an approved watering place or
mountain resort IN order to hold eligi-
bility in the eyes of him seeking a
beautiful wife with all requisites nee
essary TO sOciety's upholding. These
include the mechanism of home-mak-
ing, Of which she must possess the un-
derlying knowledge, and her time for
forming acquaintance with these home
" duties is limited amid the pressure
OF hops in winter and automobile tours
in summer.
What then? As le dernier resort. our
maid Of proper aspiration feigns an
q arlze
ing the house, and remains at home.
Justihable means toward q commend
able end? Not at all. The drawn
shades are libelous and unworthy-a
libel on the American girls indepen-
dence and unworthy Of her courage,
which should not finch at conviction.
The national trait marked above all
others'is adaptability. My lady of mil
lions should be able to roll her sleeves
at a moments notice with capability
and self-esteem, for, outWardly, the
grande dame evincing little knowledge
OF conditions other than those sustained
In the drawing room, she is, primarily

In addition TO absorbing one.
Far from repressing this inherent
versatility, it should be nurtured and
openly the well rounded woman taking
active delight in the exercise of her
feminine prowess.
Maids, those of you who are fancees
or aspirants raise the shades, draw the
latch and let who may peep at your
apprenticeship with the domestic ma
chinery, with good riddance to your
seofers, for Prince Charming will
linger.
The substitution Of rose leaves for
rice was an innovation at recent
wedding, and the precedent might well be
followed.
The throwing Of rice as a time
bonOred custom deserves the respect
due TO old age, and that is about the
hest that may be said for it.
In the natural progression of things
spiritual and mundane the rice-throw-
ing habit should receive more honor
through its breach than through OBJ
servance, and now that so pretty an
example has been set by an acknowl-
edged leader Of society, following will

Fort Mason in the officers quarters.
The new grill room of the San Rafael
clubhouse is attracting several parties
