HOME OF SLAMS ROYAL FAMILY
City in Which No Man but the King
Nav Enter.

Perhaps the queerest city in the
world is that of Nang Harm, the home
of the royal family of Siam. This
city's popularity lies in the fact that
it is composed of women and children
alone. 1t is in the center of Bangkok,
has high walls around it, and in its
population of 5000 there is not sim
gle man, though the king occasionally
pays a visit. The name Nang Harm
means ''vei1ed women" There are
shops, markets, temples, theaters,
streets and avenues, parks. lakes,
trees, and flower gardens; a hall of
justice, judges, executioner, police,
generals, and soldiers; all the posi-
tions, official and otherwise, being
filed by women. The only man in all
Siam who can enter this city is the
king. 1t is the home of his family
and of the family of the king before
him. The ruler of Siam may have as
many wives as he pleases. Each wife
has her own children and slaves
therefore a small city is needed to pro-
vide accommodation for them all.

Shirred VeIveteen.

few short seasons ago the sug-
gestion that velveteen be shirred in
any way would have been greeted with
scorn and derision, but the chiffon
velveteens of to-day lend themselves
beautifully to this effective mode of
handling. A charming design is that
wherein the grace of the costume lies
in the way the material is handled.
The corsage maintains some sem
blance of blouse lines, the necessary
definition of the wasteline being clev-
erly accomplished in a strapped cein-
ture. The sleeve is puffed at the top
and all down the arm are rows upon
rows of shirring clear to the wrist.
The skirt has a narrow petticoat panel
in the front

skirts of escape Length"

Skirts are without exception the
escape length" The fact that Amer
lean women are more given to rum
ming about on foot than French wo-
men explains why they do not follow
the latter in the matter of trained
dresses, which can only be carried
about safely in carriages. This. of
course, applies only to the tailor
dresses. The evening gowns are
trained. though an occasional dance
dress is short. Skirts are usually
made with from nine to thirteen cores,
though once in a while there are some
sixteen or seventeen. This, however,
Is extreme. As to the pattern, the
flare and circular founces are most
prominent. There is a suggestion of
empire effect in the so-called princess
skirt. 1t is fitted over the hips and
around the waist, extending a few
inches above the waist line. The jack
ct worn with this is very short, be-
ing something between an Eton and a
coffee jacket.

Large Muffs Fashionable.

Muffs this year are of all shapes and
sizes, but the most fashionable muff is
very large and full. With chinchilla,
especially, lace is so handsome that it
is used this season to a great extent.
Cream lace ruffles, either at the wrist
openings or falling down from the end
of the muff, are exquisite in coloring,
with either chinchilla or sable. Need
less to state, only the richest furs
should be made up with lace and only
the handsomest lace should be en-
ployed. Artificial flowers, violets and
gardenias trim the muff to be carried
with an elaborate reception costume,
and a few clusters of the same flower
may be half hidden in the fur neck
piece. With walking suit the muff is
comparatively small and no matter of
what fur it must not be trimmed eth
er with lace or flowers.

For Evening Eroeks.

White tulle is charming and mod
ish material for the youthful evening
frock, and much used, though of
course sadly perishable- 1t lends it
self readily, as do most of the airy,
diaphanous materials, to the flower
garland, ribbon and lace trimmings,
and these floral garnitures are partic-
ularly dainty and lovely this season.
One may find, too, mousseline or
chiffon in plain tints or in white, with
a border of tiny flower feStoon or gar
land printed in delicate colorings. and
these bordered stuffs are successfully
used in combination with plain mate
rial to match and with fine inset lace
and self trimming for accompaniment.

Voice of the Rhinoceros.

In the course of a year 1 saw more
than 600 rhinoceroses and the tracks
of thousands. The sight of these gi-
gantic beasts standing in the moon
shine on the snowwnite steppes is still
vivid in my memory 1 have never en-
cOuntered more than four at one time,
though 1 have seen as many as eight
together
Their appearance when in a sitting
posture is very like the stump of a
tree. While resting the rhinoceros
very often resigns himself to his feath-
cred friends, who alight upon his body
and serve the double purpose of free
ing his skin from parasites and giving
warning of danger. 1t is a case of
partnership between an animal with a
keen sense of smell and birds with
keen eyes.
The horns of the African rhinoceros
sometimes attain a length of nearly
five feet, and when he lifts UP his
voice the whole world seems to trem-
BILE. The sound is so tremendous that
the effect is startling in the extreme.

odd conventional designs of chenille
Gold lace robs it of too somber a hue
Fur trimmings are admirable for

They will be seen on many of the
handsomest garments of the winter
But it is exceedingly bad form to wear
fur on an indoor dress
A lovely rich but simple dress is of

embroidered-al1 in pure white It is

Touches Of Gold and silver.

A touch >of gold or silver is almost
inevitable upon the modish frock, pref
erence being given to silver when that
is possible; and a hem or band of
cloth of gold or silver set under the
bottom of skirts of lace, net, etc, is a
device much employed for saving the
edge of the sheer stuff. This idea,
however, belongs chiefly to the prov
ince of evening toilets, velvet being
ordinarily used for the hem or band
upon sheer frocks intended for day
wear

Gasoline Dries Race Track.

At a recent French motorcycle race
meeting rain began to fall, and the
racing was abandoned. The clouds
eventully rolled away, but the track
was too wet for high speeds.
Some one had bright idea, which
was carried into effect. BY spreading
thin film of gasoline over the cement
and flaring it OFF the track was made
quite safe.-The Motor Cycle.

Institution of Marriage.

The historical facts concerning mar
riage as an institution are probably
only vaguely known The institution,
as we know it to-day, is less than 500
years old. Histories of the marriage
ceremony show that it was not sol
emnized in church as a religious rite
until the time of Pope Innocent III. A
D. 119S, and was not considered sac
rament until 1442.

kitchen door and got the Deacon start

that sent the Deacon sprawling into

again Every time the Deacon would
get up Lem would kick him down.
At last the Deacon got tired of this

around his neck and told Lem that
she didn't love nobody but him and
that when the Deacon put his arms

about it than she would if her own

Many a sensible mother whose aim is

dren ignores Mrs. Grundy and dresses
the little daughter in one of these
frocks with boomers and gives her
the same freedom to struggle with the
elements as her brothers. The least
experienced can, with the aid of an ac-
curate pattern, fashion this little gar
ment without any trouble, the plaits
are applied, and there is little more to
do than to close the seams. Made in
brown serge, with shield, collar, cuffs,
belt and the little touches of trim

MARRIAGE MARKET.

The great problem of how to find
a suitable life partner is being sue
Cessfully solved by the girls of the
Belgian village of Ecausinnes.
These enterprising damsels, finding
that there were not enough young
men in the village and its immediate
neighborhood to 60 round, hit on
the ingenious plan a year or so ago
to organize fete, to which all ell
igible SWANS Of the province of Hal
maui we're invited.
The affair was a huge success
and resulted in numerous engage
ments. Last Sunday ninety seven
manageable girls of Ecausinnes
held a meeting at which it was
unanimously resolved to renew the
experiment. On White Monday the
girls, decked out in their Sunday
best, will meet the lads on the Place
de la Rasse-which is appropriately
to be named "Betrothal square
and offer their guests succulent
meal, to show what they can do in
the way of cooking, At $50, so
the program says, the willin' Bar
kisses are to be introduced to the
parents, after which a dance and
torchlight procession will conclude
the festivities. Excitement is al
ready running high, and from all in
dications ninety-seven single men
may regard their fate as sealed, for
the girls are firmly determined that
none shall escape.

of those negroes will remember how
Green did them at San Antonio in
1900, when the republican state
convention split wide open. He
caused Henry Clay Ferguson, that

out, actually bounced by ungentle
physical force while in the middle

The Rev. Judson Ellsworth, of
Milwaukee, in an address before
the graduates of the Art Institute
of Chicago on Friday, said:
If the possession of the most
money is to denote the best man in
America-and it looks verymuch as
if it were-then disregard of eth
ical distinction is likely to become
characteristic of the popular mind,
for the suspicion is rapidly gather
ing in the mind of the average man
that all wealth is tainted.
The greatest questions which
society has to handle today lie in
great accumulation of wealth.
Wealth has become a new royalty.
The throned potentate may nova
days have less power than the null
timillionaire whose father may have
been laboring man. The aristoc-
racy of wealth is doing away with
social distinction"
1t seems to US that Brother Tits
worth is not wide of the mark, and
the thing to do is to go about strip
ping the millionaire of some of his
influence and money. How would
it do to start out by making all mil
lionaires ineligible to the Supreme
Bench, the Senate and Congress
of the United States. If we elm
mated from our interpreting and
law making bodies the Croesuses
who look after the big steals, we
will have made a step in the direc-
ton of real reform.
