amples Of large fortunes bequeathed to for
mer sweethearts by disappointed women
who have remained unmarried. There was
nothing romantic about Miss Cunning
however. She was courted by Carl F. Nil
Ter. His attentions are said to have been
carried over large number of years Evil

Miller married the second woman. and Miss

taken her loneliness greatly to heart
In the eighteenth century there were two
famous Irish beauties. the Misses Cunning.
who made a great sensation in England and
married brilliantly, though they were en-
tirely penniless. This Miss Cunning. though
far from penniless. does not appear to have
been beautiful. and presumably she never
had an opportunity for making a brilliant
marriage She bitterly resented the loss OF
the one chance that came in her way. Wo-
man-like. she did not blame the man for
his perfidy. All her viudiCtiveness was di-
rected against the woman who usurped the
place that she believed ought to have been
hers. Accordingly, when she came to dis
pose of her large possessions by will she
conceived the singular plan OF leaving the
residue of her estate, valued at $500, 600, to
Miller, on condition that he should get di-
vorce from his wife or that Mrs. Miller
should die She was perfectly willing that
the old lover might have the money, pro-
vided her successful rival prevented
from enjoying any part of 1t, directly or in
directly. Mr.. Miller. being perfectly salts
fled with his matrimonial venture, has no
intention of suing for divorce in order to
gain this half million, and Mrs. Miller has
no intention of dying. Consequently the
legacy lapses.
Presumably the lawyer who drew the will
explained its invalidity to the testator. The
law must hold an attempt to bring about a
divorce as against public policy" Further
more, the will must be considered invalid
because. in contemplation of the law. 1t
furnishes motive for numbering Mrs NIL
Ter. In that respect the Will is no joke from
a legal point of view MIR. Miller takes the
matter with good humor, and in his happy
married life can afford to smile at Miss
Cummings eccentric testament Apparently

courts to decide that Miss Cunning died in

Explain to me If you can," says the stu
dent of the eternal feminine, why the
American woman has not yet made dent
on the old world in the matter of fashions
for clothes. American supremacy Is an old
story but if the American woman isn't
supreme who or what is? Indeed, what she
has done in the way of marrying European
celebrities and instituting American ways
in Europe is part of our recorded suprem-
acy, but in clothes she Is not In II. When
ever the last touch of ineness Is to be
given to any of her garments 1t Is described
as being of Paris or London make. We
have heard, to be sure. that the shirt waist
Is an American idea and that 1t is making
It's way abroad, but when 1t comes back
here 1t il labeled lingerie and as created
in the old world. As for the brides trous-
scau, though we have as many brides here
as anywhere. their clothes must all bear
the foreign label. The old world still sets
the styles In women's dress. s.-Philadelphi

Mrs. J. Borden Hartman has one of her
walking costumes of two shades of beige

The skirt is a decidedly short ore and is
box plated and tight-fitting from the waist
line to below the hips. the plaits being
scant. Between the hips and the hem there
are three bands of the plaid some three
inches wide piped on both sides to the
depth of a quarter inch with folds of plain
beige color These bands are equal dis
tances apart.
The top is tight enough for a bodice, but
instead of having a lingerie guimpe and

waist line. The side sections were cut so
as to run in bias lines from the shoulders
to the waist and were pulled plain. The V

point and crossing with tab ends. The

two toques worn by the women he was
escorting. one composed of red, black and
white currants. and the other displaying
foliage and apples. Hats of the lingerie
sort are so distractingly pretty that late as
1t Is in the season one or two more are sure
to be INDUCED in. l saw three summers the

ton wonderfully dainty trimmed with

a combination of fine straw brim with a
crown entirely covered with tiny quillings
of lace further adorned with black velvet
bow and a bunch of cherries.

A simple dress of this description has its
skirt laid in groups of wide and narrow
tucks. The short Jacket has a dainty collar
OF lace and muslin and on the front of the
coat near the waist line are huge motifs OF
broderie angaise. These plainly made black
tafieta frocks have been gradually working
tteir way into favor again. and one may
now say that they have arrived
There is another novelty promised IN the
autumn-that of making the sleeves or a

in number of instances and will be car

to be at hand at the present moment We
undoubtedly spend more money on dress

we have touched the climax of eXtrava-

The Wills of old maids are proverbially
eccentric. This is true not only of that
mental and psychological attribute known
as the will, but also of those interesting
testamentary documents which often ben
eft the lawyers more than the legatees. A
spinster Of fifty over is capable OF leav-
ing her money for any purpose that will
outrage the feelings Of relatives who cher
ish expectations Institutions for the
care Of stray dogs and homeless cats ordi-
narily owe their existence to endowments
by elderly ladies who have never been en-
meshed In Hymen's nets. A fund for the
proper maintenance OF a pampered parrot

class of decedents.
