child shall have a place among the inn
mortals and be known of all men.
Then comes Wealth. who promises
the child who has its protection shall
know neither want nor poverty. And
Love follows, pledgng rich gifts. The
last angel approaches and offers Meth
err fame nor wealth nor love. His brow
is furrowed, his cheeks burn and the
eyes ache, and he says simply: THE
child 1 touch shall never lose it's
ideals" And the mother cries: Touch,
oh, touch my child" Beautiful, indeed,
is the thought When our ideals begin
to fade life begins to lose it's luster.
The ideal land does not always lie
where the most flowers bloom, or where
the greatest mirth rings clear, or where
time is a babbling brook. 1t more Of
ten requires fortitude in the path of
duty, devotion to what is right, a faith
fulness to do those things of life others
have forgotten to do or did not care,
and then later comes the joy of realiz-
athCn-the priceless gift of accomplish
ment. Then the ideal that was is no
more, another and more beautiful Wis
ion lies just beyond, and so it is ever
with those who drink deepest of the
true life.
The story is told that some months
ago Miss Maxine Elliott received.a let
ter from a soldier in the American
army in the Philippines in which he
stated that she was a great favorite
with the members of his regiment, and
that they would be greatly pleased to
have one of her photographs. He added
that there was an old soldier in the
regiment whose name was Elliott, who
was very fond of her, and who declar-
ed that she was his daughter. Would
she also be kind enough to let them
know if this was true
Miss Elliott, in answering the letter,
said: Il fnclose you the photograph
you asked for; also one for Mr.. Elliott
for picking me out as his daughter,
when he had the whole world to choose
from"
White is more used at present for
center pieces and doilies than colors,
= and the eyelet embroidery still takes
the lead. There are, however, many
l designs of solid work combined with
Misunderstanding, which makes some
l effective table sets. The do!lies come
in three sizes, for the plate, finger-bowl
and tumbler, but there are also many
odd doilies which are used under bread,
fancy cakes, etc. A little touch of col
Or is used in the latter.

The best dressed bride of the winter
is Mrs. Ralph Pulitzer who was Miss
an of mr., nd
! Mrs. Seward Webb. Young Mrs. Pulit-
ger, who is the prettiest and proudest
of all the Vanderbilt granddaughter,
; has penchant for the orchid colors.
Her trousseau gowns, most of them
imported, bear imprint of the rare
taste for which she is remarkab BILE.
Many of the gowns We're kept secret
and are now just being brought out
and a rare study in color they furnish
A very lovely dress is in violet, the
very shade which Mrs. Clarence Mac
kay wears so much. 1t is a violet
: broadcloth, made with tight fitting bo-
!, dice and full skirt. over it is worn an
Empire coat, very short WASTED, very
full and caught at the belt line with
a very wide girdle of silk. This is one
of the most stunning gowns and it well
deserves the name of being the pref
e test in a very elaborate trousseau.
r Fancy a violet Empire coat coming al
e most to the ground over a suit of violet
o cloth.
a Mrs. Pulitzer has several very hand
some black dresses, for it is now con-
e sidered smart for bride to dress a
great deal in black. And one of her
:, loveliest costumes is a black silk, very
I deliberately trimmed with ruffles of
Irish point and with embroidered silk
d hounces. This is a boleno suit with
: the bolero cut very short and very
> round over a very high Princess skirt,
made as snug as 1t can be. There is no
color at all except a %iny line of white
: in the pipings.

A very strange lady is Miss Evatina
= Tardo, who was born on the island of
e Trinidad some thirty years ago. From
!, childhood she has never experienced
- the sense of touch, and medical men
s are of the opinion that there is no CON
n nection between the sensory and motor
e nerves in her body and she is there
fore utterly devoid Of physical feeling
y Doctors have thrust needles in her
r limbs and under her nails, applied red
T hot irons to the sOles of her feet and

t all she said she could feel was a slight
