The English have much sentiment
about wedding wells, and that worn by
Lady Shrewsbury who at thirty-siX
was grandmother. was also worn by
her three daughters, Murlel Lady
Helmsley, Lady Gwendolen Little and
Lady Londonderry. and by two grand
daughters, Mrs. Gervase Beckett and
Lady Helen Satordale. The latter
bride also had in her wedding boquet
a bit of myrtle grown from a slip that
in 1875 had formed part of Lady
Londonderry's bridal boquet, and
which was planted Immediately after

in 1902, or twenty-seven years from
the date of the planting of the original

lace veil worn by the celebrated Sarah
Lady Jersey in 1904, and this. just 100
years later in 1904, adorned Lady Du-

Marie Corelli has made another at
tack upon the vulgarlty of wealth and
society in a series of essays just print
ed, which she calls Free Thoughts" Z"
She also has a few observations to
make on the American woman. Miss
Corelli does not altogether admire the
American women, but she holds that
they are popular in England because
they make themselves popular. Miss
Corelli says:
'As to the American girl, she Is all
there She can take the measure of a
man in about ten minutes, and classify
him as though he were a botanical
specimen. She realizes all his llmlta-
tions, his fads-and she has the uncom-
monty good sense not to expect much
OF him. She would not take any on
the lily maid of Astolat, the Fair
Elaine, who spent her time in polishing
the shield of Lancelot, and who finally
died of love for that most IMMORAL,
but fascinating knight of the round
table, No, she wouldn't polish shield
you bet. She would make Lancelot
polish it himself for all he was worth
and polish her own dear little boots and
shoes for her into the bargain. That
is one of the secrets-masterful
or, let us say, queenllness, which
sounds better. The lord of creation can
do nothing in the way of ordering her
about, because as the lady of creation
she expects to order him about-and
she does" = London Correspondence

Foulards will be much worn this
year-not the cheap grades which did
much to kill the popularity of these
silks last season, but an expensive and
wholly charming quality called ra-
dium. 1t is difficult TO distinguish this
much-talked-of radlum silk from the
old foulards, except in the matter of
designs and a certain opalescent quail
ity There is no sign in the new silks
of the old conventional scroll patterns
always associated with this material
These have been superseded BY tiny
checks and pin line stripes. the latter
scarcely more than their own width
apart, so that the general appearance
is that of a solid color.
All the best couturiers are making up
their foulards and radums very simply
and softly. The skirts on the dressy
gowns are in many attractive instances
laid in tiny stitched tucks. while at the
hem favorite ornamentatlon is waved

Roman ladies and called retlculum.
Mittens are to be much worn this
year. and now that long sleeves have
been ousted by long gloves, mlttens
will be acceptable. To many, and more

be welcome, indeed. Few realize what

In jewelry the most unlikely stones
are now used in conjunction. 1t is
quite usual to see sapphire framed
in rubies or even combination in ru-
bies and emeralds. In fact, stones of
every possible color are now blended,
and it is not an uncommon sight to see
as many as four or five different stones
in a single setting-and with charmiD"
results.

that he limped badly, and that one foot

Children Should Have Loose Clothes.


Children should never wear tight
shoes. bands, collars, garters or gloves.
Tight clothing Injuries any part of the
body. but most especially the chest.
1t prevents the proper expansion Of the
lungs and, while there are millions of
air cells in our lungs, we need the use
of every one of them to keep the blood
pure. Pressure on muscles cripples or
prevents their action and unused mus
cles grow weak and atrophy, so that
the act of respiration, which is carried
on by the chest muscles, grows more
and more shallow. Tight clothing may
cause compression of the soft, bony
chest wall of the child, thus mechan-
ically preventing the air from entering
the lungs. The larger our lungs and
the more we breathe, other things be-
ing equal, the longer we will live and
the more power and vigor we will
have. When we remember how the
breathing affects the whole life It is
easy to understand how construction of
the chest always brings i'll health.
Construction of the chest also inter-
feres with the action of the stomach.

may be so tight that it cannot retain
sufficient food on its stomach, and the

Tight clothes interfere with the cir
culation of the blood, and equilibrium
of the circulation is necessary to the

usual thing the parts of the body

containing the vital organs, where the

heavily clothed. Babies especially are
often found clothed in this manner.
BY using the one-piece garment the

- on the FIRST Fourth" that
n9l !Glll anything had happened
worthy OF celebration, this Fourth OF
July. i777, was really the irst-as we
look upon the day.
Old Claus Pynrout was the founder
Of farming village on the banks OF
the Hudson River, near Poughkeepsie,
in New York. He was also the chiet
man living there. and was called the
Patroorf. All the land round about
was his and made him very rich; he
was said to have lent large sums OF
money to the Continental Congress

greatly pleased. When 1t came to

One of the first people to get in Tea

was Hans Pynrout the orphan grand
son of the PATRON. Before the sun
had risen he was up and dressed; he
had important plans for the day.

About the only part OF the costume
that does not have to match is the
shoes. Colored kid is not yet fashion
able, although the colored pat is an
old story. The new models in shoes
are rather odd, and women with extra
high insteps VIII find some difficulty in
being suited. The vamps of the new
shoes seem TO be extraordinarily long.
Extension soles are seen on many walk

Making Skirts.

Several hints regarding the making
of skirts were announced by COM

the following advice: make your
skirt of anything, no matter what.
Cut it off so that it clears the street,
but don't make it too short. Now trim
1t with ruffles to make it look dressy.
You will have handsome skirt no
