Some gentlemen in New York are
wrought up because the statues of
angels in the Cathedral of st. John re-
present women instead of men. They
believe that angels are men, and not
women.
The sculptor followed polite usage,
poetic precedent and common under
standing when he made the angels
women. He knew that many women
are angels. He had never seen a man
angel. Such a thing has been con-
sidered unlikely.
Turn your thoughts to higher
things" said Mr. Rockefeller to the
delegation Of Cleveland citizens. And
the office Immediately sent out a no
tice raising the price of oil.

Every good housekeeper takes par
donable pride in her neatly arranged
kitchen, store-room and pantries. For
such, labeled Jars or glass cans and
wide-mouthed bottles whose contents
are easily noted have almost entirely
supplanted the old-time paper bags
and boxes whose contents have such
an unfortunate habit of Sitting out at
inopportune times or else defying in
Identification until much valuable time
has been wasted. Now comes a new
contrivance made in three different
sizes of heavy glass, with cone-shaped
tops and sliding valves so that food,
such as coffee, salt, Indian meal, Ia
pioca, etc, can be drawn off the same
as water from a faucet when the jar is
inverted. Wall or shelf brackets come
with the jars so that the holders may
be attached to the woodwork in the
kitchen or fastened under the shelves
in the pantry. They are put up in
verted, so that all the housekeeper has
to do is to hold the sugar bowl or mea-
surfing cup under, turn the knob and
the food runs out.
The seven stories which Jack London
has contributed to the Youths Com
panion have been gathered in book
form under the title "Tales of the Fish
Patrol" They are rafting good stories,
told with the dramatic force and the
command of detail that mark most of
London's work. AS a boy of 16 he en-
gagged in this patrolling of San Fran
cisco bay, and doubtless most of the
tales have foundation in fact. They
deal with the Chinese shrimp catchers,
the Greek fishermen who use illegal
lines and nets, the oyster pirates and
others. One of the best details the eff
forts made by the author and his COM
panion, Charley LIE Grand to catch
red-handed Big Aleck, 1.-The King of
him by running down his boat and
dragging him in half drowned.

Twelve hundred dollars were realized
at the lawn fete given a few days ago
by Mrs. Richard Mansfield, at her
summer home in New London, Conn.
This money has been placed in the bank
to the credit of the blind babies branch
of the International Sunshine Society,
of which Mrs. Cynthia Westover Alden
is treasurer. This is the only home
for blind babies in the State of New
York. Mrs. Mansfield, who is Beatrice
Cameron on the stage, was greatly
pleased at the success of her entertain
ment. The sales of autographed copies
of well-kRown authors books was a
conspicuous feature of the bazaar.
Among the authors who assisted in
this way were Booth Harrington, Mrs.
Margaret e. Sangster, Richard Hard
ing Davis, DR.. Edward Everett Hale,
Winston Churchill, DR.. Henry Van
Dyke, Richard Watson Glider, Miss
Ida NJ. Tarbell, Palmer Cox, Charles
Eliot Norton and Mrs. Julia Ward
Howe. Baron Kaneko sent a set of
books, a Japanese story, and his photo
graph.
All the world loves the gown of a
queen, and therefore it is interesting
to know about a negligee which Queen
Alexandra has just had made for her
in Paris. 1t is made not of silk, or of
organdie, or of India lawn, or of any
other sheer stuffs, but of cashmere. It's
color is a turquoise blue and its trim
ming is a set of oriental bands. These
bands go around the wide sailor collar;
they extend down the front; and they
are seen around the foot of the gown
and the tones are repeated in the but
tons. The negligee is buttoned down
the front and the buttons are a very
handsome oriental variety, made up
of many colors with each button show
ing a separate design.

women of the United States.
