GOLDEN ROSE FOR ELIZABETH

Pope Plus K has consecrated the
mystical golden rose of virtue, the
most coveted, and, if tradition counts
for anything, the most dreaded distinc-
tion in the gift of the holy see, which
this year he has conferred upon
Princess Elizabeth, wife of Prince Al
bert, heir-presumptive to the Belgian
throne. --.-.-.... -..~
The princess is not only the good
wife and mother noble woman and de-
yout Catholic which the pope requires
in her who shall win this wondrous
token. She is also a skilled physician,
and one who puts her knowledge to
use in the service of her poor in the
Brussels hospitals.
The golden rose is mimic plant Of
pure gold, its stem and leaves superbly
chased and strewn with sparkling dia-
mond dust in imitation of the morning
dew. It is set In a golden pot emilia
zoned with the papal arms, the exqui-
site case in which it is inclosed bearing
together with the Papal arms those of
the recipient. The plant consists of
leaves, buds and flowers, and into the
central flower the pope pours rose bal
sam on the occasion of blessing it.
The haunting belief that the rose
brings ill.luck is traceable to the
strange series of misfortunes that have
attended former recipients. Joanna of
Sicily. who was the first rose queen

THE ousT1s WEDDING GOWN

Some Of the most interesting wedding
fnery that can be seen outside lace and
costume collections in public museums
is laid away in colonial house in
Georgetown, D. O. This house belongs
to Mrs. Beverly Kennon, and she pos
sesses the entire wedding outfit Martha
GUSTS wore when she became Mrs.
George Washington. Mrs. Kennon is
the granddaughter Of Nellie Custis,
and when she was married she wore the
gown her mother, grandmother and
great-grandmother had worn before
her. It is doubtful the gown ever
again will adorn bride, but when Mrs.
Kennon celebrates the anniversary Of
Martha Custis' wedding to the father
Of his country she dons the rare old
yellow satin and lace, and even puts on
the jeweled stomacher and pointed
satin slippers. The dress is Of heavy,
large figured brocade, once snowy white
but now golden with age. The pat
tern is a familiar one in the: pictures of
Martha Washington punches Of roses
with large-leafed vines between the
clusters. Mrs. Custis wore bonnet Of
generous proportions when she was
married for the second time, and this,
her handkerchief, gloves and fan are
treasured by her great-granddaughter
and displayed with loving pride.

HE COULDN'T AFFORD 1T.

James Hunter, who for many years fed the weary
traveller at the Canadian hotel at Drayton but who has
long ago gone to his reward, weighed when in good
health and spirits 260 pounds. MI. Kibbee who for
many years sold medicine and barn paint in Drayton,
weighed l13, dressed. One summer both of these
gentlemen lay sick with typhoid fever The doc
tor attended them and after the fever had done it's
worst and beef tea allowed to gurgle down their
Threats, the physician told Mr. Kibbee that his FRIEND
Mr.. Hunter, had lost lis pounds. The patient felt
under the clothes for few minutes and said, with
sight of relief: "Doc, it's lucky did not lose that
much if I had would have to borrow two pounds. y

WEAR YOUR SOUL COLOR

After a long period spent in study
ing the cult Of the Babists in Persia,
Mrs. Alfred Clifford Barney has re-
turned to her home in Washington. She
and her daughter, Miss Alice Elsa Bar
ney, have a large fortune, but they
have adapted the simple life Of the
Babist sect. They live on uncooked
food and give much Of their possessions
to aid in spreading the faith. One of
the most interesting things Mrs. Barney
learned abroad is that one should dress
according to the color of ones soul.
It is surprise to the .unilluminated to
know their. souls have colors. Most
women have found it hard enough to
find co1ors that suit their bodies. But
Mrs. Barney and all her cult long ago
learned that souls have hues and that
a woman must wear only the shade
which matches her soul, or there will be
mental and spiritual confusion. :. If
one wants to be on the safe side in
choosing ones gown, the best way is
to take course of training under
Babist. Maybe the time is coming
when modistes will have color charts
for every customer.

AN Attractive GOWN IN LINEN.
There Is often question in the mind

There is often a question in the mind
Of the home dressmaker as to how that
effect Of s1nartness, which is seen in the
creations of the fashionable nodiste
may be realized in her own modest at
tempts. It is due largely to the old
adage, practice makes perfect, /" yet
in some instances the home dressmaker
may reach that height Of style in her
gowns because of the designs chosen.
One Of these is portrayed here. The
fashion for hand embroidery was never
more intense than at present, and it is
so dainty and attractive that few will
be without some of it on their gowns.
The gown shown is simply made and
well adapted to development by the
home sewer. The body portion Of the
dress may be of linen or batiste, while
the a1l-over embroidery may serve for
yoke and cuffs, and the wide bands Of
embroidery to match adorn the skirt
and waist front. These may be edged
with narrow fulled lace or be left
plain. In the medium size the pattern
calls for Z RI yards of thirty six-inch
goods for the entire gown.

Oh, Archibald a-shopping went.
He went out with his bride,
She said that she would buy a hat,
: If he'd help her decide.
When once she got him in the store,
She made him buy some cloth
To make a dress. The counters were
Like flames, and she a moth.
She made him buy the trimmings, too.
The Innings then she bought,
She made him buy some gloves to match
And then some shoes they sought
They bought the shoes, they bought a

And then they bought the, hat;
But Archies wife she shopped alone
