Extravaganza is certainly a feminine
weakness. and it is difficult for women
in high positions who are rarely wor-
ried with money troubles to know
where to draw the line. Apropos Of
this a good story is told of the late ex-
Queen Isabella of Spain, whose bills
nearly drove her treasurer mad with
anxiety:
Her majesty purchased extensively at
the Partisan shops. but her income,
which was not large for her station,
would not stand the strain when the
bills came in. At last the treasurer hit
upon a brilliant idea. He got two
bushels Of silver pieces and piled the
coins up on huge table in the queens
anteroou. When Isabella saw the
enormous heap of money she called out
! in establishment. What on earth is all
this money for?"
Tt is the money to pay your majes-
tvs glover replied the treasurer.
The queen said nothing, but thought
the more and afterward made it a
rule to pay ready money for all the
goods she purchased.

- star has arisen IN the EsarlSlah
armament, Nine. Miriam Har-
~, a young woman Of Won
derfuI power and brilliancy who with
her new novel, THE Conquest of Jeru-
SALEM" has won the prize given for the
best book written by woman and pub
lished during the past year in Paris
The bestowing of this prize came
about in a manner peculiarly satisfac-
tory to those who have the rights Of
women at heart. The Goncourt broth
ers. writer's and patrons Of authors, left
a fortune to found a Goncourt academy,
in which ten literary men enjoying life
pensions vote an annual prize Of 5000
francs to the best writer Of the year.
The Goncourt prize this year would
have fallen to Nine. Harry had it not
been for sex prejudice. The injustice
of this decision aroused half the women
of Paris. who declared, IT'S terrible!"
The psychological moment had arrived
for the old publishing house Of Ha-
Ghetto to establish a rival academy
composed of women judges who should
vote an annual prize for the best book
OF the year written by a woman. A
short time ago twenty-one of the most
distinguished women of Paris met in
the salon Of the Comtesse de Noailles,
herself a leader of fashion and art, in
solemn conclave to vote on this impor-
tant subject. The choice after a secret
ballot was unanimously in favor of
Nine. Harrys Conquest of Jerusalem"
This young and gifted woman is a
European oriental, having been born in
Jerusalem Her father was an explorer
OF oriental countries and Of Russian
Polish origin and her mother a German
daaconess who was helping to uplift
the condition of women in Egypt when
she met and married N. Harry. Most
of Nine. Harry's life was spent in the
east until she came to Paris, after her
fathers death, at the age Of seventeen.
A short time ago she married the cele-
brated sculptor Perrault. At present
this successful author is writing a new
book showing the influence of Bud
dhism on the soul and Of oriental life
on European character. Nine. Harry,
as she is known, is blond, slight and
slender. Of delicate features and COM
plexion and enjoys wearing Paquin
frocks and Lewis hats almost as much
as she does writing prize stories
The stunning creations Of Lewis re-
mind me of the revolution which this
season has taken place in the millinery
world, not so much in the actual perky
shapes OF the smart hats, upsetting as
they are to our conservative notions,
but in overthrowing the old idea of the
hat fitting the hair. We now snap our
fingers in the face Of the cOiffeur and
command him to design our hair to
beautify the eccentric millinery crea-
tions Of the day. Last winter each well
turned out wOman's head was dressed
in exactly the same fashion, with the
exception of differences in eoloring and
in the ornamental combs worn in the
undulated and MarceIied tresses, which
at the back OF the head were drawn up
ia tight waves and the ends twisted in
visibly in a knot on top to meet the

scenery papers. so called because they
depict landscapes from all countries
which have a claim to natural or scenic
beauty.
A number Of these paper patterns
suggest a personally conducted tour
through Japan, Spain. Holland, France
or England In most instances the
scenery paper is used in panels. either
singly OF in groups. The edges of the
panels are outlined with a fiat shaped
wooden molding about two inches wide.
The rest of the wall is then filled in
with plain or striped paper carrying out
the predominating tone in the panel.
Two or four of these panels are gener-
ally found sufficient for a room. A din
ing room might easily with the aid of

Tea Ia Russo has been very much
in favor recently-tea, that is, in glass;
es with. a slice of lemon and lump OF
sugar. but no cream or milk. without
sugar it is supposed to be wonderfully
good for the complexion, and certainly.
whether taken hot or cold, 1t is very re-
freshing and seems to quench thirst as
few things do. OF course the Russians
drink tea much weaker than we do. It
is said that in some parts of Russia
people put a spoonful of jam into the
tea. in place of sugar, but this is a way
Of using jam which would hardly ape
peal to our tastes.

country homes-and city ones,
too, for that matter-are per
fectly stunning this season.
There is no good reason apparently
save lack Of funds why the summer
cottage should not be beautiful as well
as cool and comfortably equipped with
this new hot weather furniture Such
6 selection for ones choice as the shops
are providing this season-surely an
embarrassment of riches! Perhaps one
has quite decided upon the merits of a
particular style of wicker furniture
when his eye happens to light on willow
and rattan even more attractive a little
farther along the line OF samples dis
played in the furniture department. It's
enough to make the strongest minded
woman lose her bearings and grow
weak and Wabbly in reaching a con-
clusion.
There are not only new shapes in will
low, rattan and weathered oak furni-
fure ia distract one in a selection, but
several new and odd effects have been
introduced in the way of stains and
color combinations which heighten their
attractions. Possibly the newest COM
9fs in the Weathered oak varieties are
the light green marbleized shadings
successfully carried out on suits and
separate pieces. This new green is
lighter than forest green and even cool
er in appearance. This shade also forms
the border on other suits which have
seats of rattan, and the mingling of tbs
two materials is remarkably pleasing
Some Of the rattan sets have tn,
Weathered oak finish. These sets com,
usually three in number, two chairs and
3 sofa, all in modified mission style.
Then there is a dull gray finished ash
furniture fashioned after Beardsley de
signs, the seats and backs uphOlstere,
in soft green and Delft blue leather
In some instances the leather has on i

examples are plain.

chiefly in use for these elegant gar

When the family must remain in
town through the heated season this
light furniture may be introduced into
an apartment, to the great comfort of
the occupant. A real suggestion of the
country home may be given by adding
even a few pieces of rattan to the
heavier furniture of the household.
Wall paper effects for the summer
home have kept pace with the artistic
new furniture of the season. The
smartest designs, no doubt. are the
