| NEW YORK, Oct. S.-The coming of
the shah of Persia to New York, which,
it is understood, will take place in the
near future, will be marked by an
unique feature. OF all the magnificent
hotels that have been erected in Man
haitian it is not likely that the doors
of one will be opened to receive him.
| He will have to buy a house and dwell
there or take up his quarters in sec
ond rate hosiery. But what will most
astonish him in New York will be the
| tall buildings. He will think he has
made a trip with Col. Younghusband
| to Lhassa, the seat of government In
Thibet. He will see at glance how
similar the Bowling Green building is
to the side-hill palace of the grand
| llama.
The shah has a habit of insisting
that everything he eats be first tasted
by somebody else. There is deal of
bad food in Persia and the shah is to
be credited with sense. What he actual
ly fears is poison. Several shahs of his
family have gone to eternal bliss by
the INTERPRETATION of poison placed
in their wine Or paties.
There is a woman in New York who
makes it a business to choose your
perfumes for you.
How much money does 1t take to
keep a fashionable woman in per-
fumes?" was asked of her the other
day.
about $50 week." said she. "That
is a dollar a week. This is a low esti-
mate. If the woman is very fashion
able and If it is her desire to keep
right at the height of style 1t costs
more, say So a week, sometimes $40.
THE idea is to perfume your gowns,
your wardrobes, your house and all
your possessions. There must be a
lasting fragrance which Is easily de-
tected and which never wears off.
1.-THE trouble with the amateur is that
she uses perfumes too heavily. She
douses herself with scent one day and
forgets to put any on the next day.
The result is that she is always either
too lightly or too heavily scented.
Perfumes are like wine. The longer
you keep them the better they are.
Perfume, freshly added to the cos
tune, is an abomination. Put on as it
should be put on it is delight"
1t is reported here that former Sen
ator S. w. Dorsey, now q resident of
Los Angeles, is coming back to New
York. All his troubles growing out of
the Liquid Air company have been
amicably adjusted Whether he and his
associates have followed the admira-
BILE example of Charles M. Schwab is
not known. There was a time when
steve" Dorsey, as he was popularity
called, was the idol of his party. Few
men now living will forget the dinner
given to him at Delmonicos in the
February that followed Garfields cleo
ton. The proudest and most honora-
BILE men in New York were there. He
was the guest of honor and Gen. Grant
sat by his side. Gen. Arthur, vice
Astor, father of "Wally" sat beside
Dorsey Among the "also present"
were Beecher, Boutwell,, Window, FIRE.
linghuysen. Hamilton Fish. Noah
Davis, e. w. Stoughton, Levi P. Nor
ton, Senator Plat, Hugh Hastings,
Depew, Governor HoYt, George Bliss
J. Pierpont Morgan, Judge Dillon, Jay
Gould, Frank Work Horace Porter
and Gen. Woodford. In all the speeches
Mr. Dorsey was eulogized as the exem-
pIar of practical politics." George H.
Boutwell, of Massachusetts, was par
ticularly fulsome in his praise. 1t was
not until July of the next year that
S. w. Dorsey explained in his own
signed testimony the methods he used
in carrying Indiana. Here are his own
words:
each one of these men. nearly 5000
in number, reported what they could
do and how much it would take to in
fiuence people to change of thought.
We paid $40 to some and as high as
$75 to others but we took care that
the three men from every township
should know just what each got. There
was no chance for 'nigging.' There;
that's all there was in carrying Indi-
ana in October!'
The secret of health and beauty does
not seem to be a great secret after all.
Mrs John Jacob Aston, who has been
called a great beauty on both sides of
the Atlantic, was in New York today
and she revealed her secret" This is
the way Mrs. Aston herself told of the
simple plan she has adopted to pre-
serve her freshness and beauty:
IT live simply, take adequate exer-
