The late sybil Sanderson's financial
affairs are occupying the Paris curp.
She left 100000 of debts and only $12,-
900 assets, and Rue de la PaiX jew
eler claims a share of her assets in
payment of $4,000 worth of Jewelry
which he alleges he sold to her after
her last tragic breakdown on the stage
at Nice in 1902.
Other creditors resist this on the
ground that in view of her then-known
insolvency and state of mind the sale
could not have been bona fide.
Counsel explaining the condition of
the famous cantatrice when the trans
action is alleged to have taken place,
said: "This admirable artistic with
voice like crystal, had never been able
to overcome stage fright so she sought
artificial courage in alcoholic stimu-
lants. The habit grew upon her and
remained after she had given up sing
ing in public, At last she reached that
condition of continuous excitement call
ed by doctors 'sub-delirium' and died
of cirrhosis of liver, brought on by this
cause"
How delightful it is that the Persian
trimmings will remain in vogue. 1t is
so very difficult to find anything that
acts as a substitute for them. Try as
you will, you cannot equal the Oren-
tai materials in color.
Said a manufacturer: "It is true
that most of the Persian trimmings are
made in this country, yet we are will
ing to give credit to the Orientals for
originality and for design. We cannot
invent anything which comes up to
their color scheme, prepared apparent
ly with such carelessness, yet really so
deliberately and painstakingly. We who
get up the stuffs for women are only
too happy to have the lovely Persian
materials upon which to draw for de-
signs and color schemes.
I'VE are making more Persian bands
than ever this year. Though they bear
various names they are easily trace
able to Persian designs. We have but
tons this season and many other things
which have the touch of Orientalsm
upon them. But in our case we COM
bine them with durability and utility.
They are not frail and they can be
easily cleaned, which is "a great thing
in their favor"

There is a man living in Waterbury,
Conn.,, who is the head of a large fam
lily, nearly every member of which is
a performer on some kind of musical
instrument.
A Bostonian, who was visiting the
house of the Waterbury man, referred
to this fact, remarking that it must be
a source of great pleasure to the fam
> lily, but to this observation the father
made no reply.
Really" continued the Bostonian,
''it is remarkable. Your younger son is
a cornetist, both your daughters are
panists, your wife is a violnist, and, /
understand, the others are also musi-
clans. Now what are you, the father
of such a musical combination?'

ly, Il am pessimist."
A lady, writing from the Far East,
thus describes a visit of the Taft ex-
petition: THE entire party, dressed
in navy blue, called upon one of the
high officials Of the Orient and remain
ed for dinner. Their gowns were Sc
lected with an evident eye to color
without too much restraint. They
showed the various dark shades of blue
relieved by pipings and other trim
mings in red, white and green. One
dress was particularly smart. 1t was
worn by one of Secretary Taft's imme-
date party, woman of small stature
and 1.-THE figure. The coat was cut in
pajama shape, loose and trimmed with
bands of burnt leather, very thin and
decorated at each edge with pipings of
Isilk. The shirt waist was in tan and
there were lovely Oriental trimmings
upon it,"
Archdeacon Sinclair claims that there
is no formulated church doctrine upon
the subject of angels.
"All opinions about them" he said
''are founded on what is said in the Old
and the New Testaments. In the Bible
they are always represented as men
or, at any rate, with the appearance OF
youths.
"The idea no doubt would be that
they have no sex at ALL See, for ex-
ample, Christ's words: In the king
dom of heaven they neither marry mol
are given in marriage, but are as the

the lew Testaments women were con.
