specialization Of their work under Lady
Victoria's guidance, which imparts to
their products distinctively highland
characteristics. Most of her patterns
are taken from the Celtic symbols
found on the ancient tombs of the
country. Some of her boys" have just
completed an exquisite oak pulpit as
the gift of their benefactof to a new
church in Three. Several orders have
been received for similar designs.
Among the young men who have re-
Gently been appointed to responsible
government offices. Lord Donoug gilmore
under secretary for war. is said TO. be
| the most hard working. Fourteen hours
day is his minimum. He is at the
war office late and early, and so regu-
lar is he in his attendance that some
OF the humoriSts among his subordi-
mates say that he must have a "shake
down. in his room. Only the night
Watchman can actually tell when he
leaves. His devotion to duty is due to
sincere ambition, shared by his Amer
lean wife. that he may obtain a more
responsible position later on
Like the Duke of Marlborough he
has broken through many of the cast
iron rules that are peculiar to govern
ment offices. For instance, he will not
recognize that permanent officials are,
as they think, persons specially de-
signed by Providence to direct the work
of their particular departments He
interests himself as much in the latest
junior clerk as he does with men of
many years experience behind them.
He has also introduced a rule by which
young men who may be reported for
some slight dereliction of duty have
power to appeal to him before they. can
be discharged. The Duke of Marlborough
commenced his official career in the
1zxrk L,
than Lord Donoughmore, and he finally
suecumbed to the persistent opposition
of the permanent officials at the Colo
NAL office. While the duke takes life
much easier than at the beginning,
Lord Donoughmore puts on more
steam. In England petticoat influence
counts for much more in securing po-
litical preferment than it does in Amer
lea, and it will be none of Lady Dom
oughmore's fault if her husband does
not go far. Tall and fair, with Won
derful blue eyes, and an easy, affable
manner, she makes a delightful hostess
and has legion of influential friends
in society. But there is nothing of the
fragile, drawing room type of woman
about her. She is much given to out
door life, is a frst-rate golf player,
good whip and capable horsewoman.
American tourists who do not chance
to be on visiting terms with his maj
esty, and have paid the customary
ices for the privilege of going through
the state apartments at Windsor castle,
have often wondered what becomes of
the money thus obtained. This curl
osity Is shared by hosts of patriotic
Britons who have paid similar tribute
for glfmpSeS of the royal residence.
An intimation has been conveyed to
the king that to allay the unjust and
vulgar suspicion that some portion of
the money finds it's way into the.royal
pockets, an annual publication of re-
ceipts and expenditures in connection
with the Windsor Castle show should
be made. 1t has been officially stated
that $4,000 out of the fund thus accu-
mulated has been appropriated to and
in the erection of a new infirmary @at
Windsor; the existing infirmary has
absorbed $500 and S4OO has been be-
slowed on the British Orphans asylum
at Slough. But these figures account
for only small portion of the money,
and the information vouchsafed has
greatly stimulated public curiosity con-
corning the disposition made of the
rest of 1t.
Dining in bed Is the latest fad of
smart DANES who find that the too
arduouS pursuit of pleasure Saps their
strength, and, what is worse, impairs
their beauty. Several bellies are ex-
cuSlnS themselves occasionally from
balls and other social functions to give
It trial One well known devotee of
fashion, who has given it a fair test,
declares that itsworks like charm, and
that after bed dinner she gets up the
next morning feeling about seventeen,
as fresh as daisy and as cheerful as

cure. as 1t has been dubbed state that
light meal is essential to it's efficacy,
and all stimulants must be barred.
otherwise 1t will cause indigestion, and
the last state Of the patient will be
worse than the first. Some light read
ing after the light meal helps to pleas
antly speed the patient to the land of
Nod And If there should chance to be
an overworked husband in the case it
affords him an excellent opportunity to
work off his tired feeling by making a
night Of it at the club.
