LONDON, July 6.-No gentlewomer
in all England are more unpretentious
in private life. than England's queen
and her future queen, the princess OF
Wales. Queen Alexandra, whose pres
ence is majestic, is happiest when she
throws off the oonstraint that etiquet
imposes.
"Her majesty is as young and as
beautiful as when first saw her, thir-
ty-five years ago." wonderingly said
Mark Twain, after being presented at
the royal garden party at Windsor.
The queen delights in visiting her
friends without formality, without CIV
ing them a moments notice of her COM
ing.
So indeed does King Edward. 1t was
indeed a surprise party" to that
charming American woman, Mrs. Glas-
gov, when she entertained his majesty
at her new house on Berkeley square
the other night.
Red Carpet Not Ready
So unexpected as the kings coming
that the conventional red carpet, for the
arriving guests to tread, had not been
rolled down the steps. Consuelo, dow
ager duchess of Manchester, Mrs.
George Keppel and Mrs. Greville were
among the guests. Dinner was followed
by bridge. So private was the affair
that the newspapers, which record the
kings every footstep. made no mention
of 1t.
Sir Edward and Lady Helen Vincent
were entertaining party at their home
at Esher last Sunday. The queen
dashed up to the house in her automo-
bile and directed that she be shown into
the drawing room without being an
nounced. What followed would make
a charming subject r Sargent, who
was one of the party.
The artist was seized with the wish
to sketch Consuelo, dowager duchess
of Manchester, who, smilingly, was pos
ing for him. Sargent vas drawing at
his easel, his back to the doorway in
which, of a sudden, the queen appeared.
Turns to Find Queen
Startled, the dowager duchess arose,
but Immediately seated herself when
her majesty pointed her finger on her
lips and enjoining silence on the party,
stole up on tiptoe chino Sargent and
looked over his shoulder. He, too in
tent on his work to perceive anything
else, soon produced with his quick
touches fine portrait of his sitter.
Then he became aware Of the hush that
had fallen on the company. He turned
and to his amazement saw the queen,
who. smilingly, was contemplating his
work.
To Sargent's confused apologies her
majesty answered ,nly:
"You will give me the sketch; 1 will
forgive you for the arch crime of not

ROME, July 6.-Giacomo Puccini. the
composer, has retired to his country
place at Tore del Lago, on the banks
of a picturesque little lake, where he
is working steadily on his new opera.
Marie Antoinette." Puccni, when he
has once found a subject, works at II
with great steadiness, never feverishly.
but nevertheless covering a great deal
of ground in short time
| He loves quiet and the country when
at work, which he finds admirably at
Tore del Lago, as the automobile is
the only means of arriving at it. He
| seems to have nature and the world
for his own so intense is the silence.
Friends Disturb His Quiet
The only time when his quiet was
invaded was when he broke his leg in
an automobile accident four years ago.
The news spread CONSERVATION
throughout Italy and many admirers.
besides sending telegraphic messages,
undertook pilgrimageS to Tore del
Lago personally to ascertain how mat
ters were. Puccini had a writing an
paratus rigged up on his bed, on which
he was busy all the time composing
funeral dirges," he called them HIM
self, for those same friends. Save me
from my friends" was his continual
i
wedding marches" but as he kept on
with the other kind one can surrnise
that they continued to break his soli-
tude.
Mascagni Has Quit Writing
Mascagni, on the other hand, is in
Rome, and declares positively that he
has given up composing operas His
excuse is that his operas can only be
given at large opera houses, as, for
instance, La Scala, at Milan, and that
he always puts as "sine qua nom
that he conduct the orchestra himself.
This, he says, is impossible, as those
theaters have contracts with conduc-
tors by which the latter cannot be sub
stituted. The real truth is found else
where. Mascagni is a difficult person
to get on with, and it is whispered that
the opera houses will have none of him.
Meanwhile he is enjoying life in the
city. He is thinner but no older and
is more fascinating than ever.

Claims she, for home and friendships rare,
And she is theirs, this woman fair;
Not alone can Oxnard claim
The love and loyalty of this dame.
Fond Matthew comes, courtly knight,
His hearts desire, his love, by right -
He wins, and holds, no daunting fear
Can wrest from him this love, so dear.
His loyalty, his manliness,
His mind, so free from WOrldliness-
Endear him to a countless host
Who claim him friend, with loyal boast.
For many years this young mans life
Was nobly spent, sans ill, sans strife.
In this fair town his worth is known;
His fame will soar from zone to zOne
Now Hyman joins these lofty souls,
For them the bell of rapture tolls,
For them life starts anew this night,
For them, hereafter all is light.
Then toast the Winemans! Come drink all!
And empty quite your glasses tall
To Lehmanns now, and all their kin
Drink ye! And once more fill to brim!
Hip, hip hurrah! Be merry, ALL
Since noble knight and damsel tall
For happiness have case their lot,
And happiness Is their full dot.

Matthew Lehman, son Of Mrs. Leh-
mann Of this city.
The guests entered the building by the
stairs, the entire length Of which was
elaborately decorated with asparagus
ferns arranged in graceful, bowerlike
arches, to the lodge room, where the sol
emn and impressive marriage service OF
the Jewish faith was performed by
Rabbi S. Hecht Of Los Angeles.
The bridal procession entered the
room to the strains Of the ever-beautiful
wedding march from Lohengrin, played
by an orchestra concealed behind masses
of greens and flowers. First came little
Miss Dorothy Muller of Denver, the
four-year-old cousin Of the bride, and
Master Lucien Lehman, nephew of the
groom, who bore white ribbons, with
which they lined the aisles. Then fol-
lowed the bridesmaids and ushers.
After the bridesmaids and ushers fol-
lowed the bride, attired in a superb Gre
alton of Arabian lace over net and chit
fon, cut princess, en- train. She carried
a shower boquet of lilies Of the valley:
and came up the aisle on the arm OF her
father, Mr.. Simon M. Wineman, at
tended by her matron Of honor, Mrs.
Alvin Wineman, and preceded by little
Miss Marcelle Lehman, niece Of the
groom, who strewed rose petals under
the feet of the triumphant. The latter
wore a handsome diamond la valliere,
the gift Of the groom.
While the guests were at table, Mrs.
Alfred Muller Of Denver, read the fol
lowing original poem, which was cheered
to the echo:
All About Blanche and Matthew.
God made the day, full, fair and warm
The joyous day, when she was born,
An August sky, the ninth, I ween,
When skies are blue and fields are green.
Her eyes were blue, as those fair skies
With wonder filled and mild surprise.
Her fair white skin was soft as down,
Her hair dark and silken brown.
The dainty mouth, the cherub chin
Entranced, enthralled her enslaved kin.
Aunties came from far and wide,
Uncles, too, with pompOus pride.
No need to note the doting joy
OF grandma's train, whose priceless toy
Was that dear babe, that child of bliss
Who met all smiles with baby kiss.
They sat her tiny crib beside
Till eyes might Ope, and smiles abide
In dimpled cheek, then arms upstretched,
Choose aunt or uncle-thereby blessed.
Those few, fond baby years are sped,
The schoolgirl tears and joys have fled.
Society, in truth, ween,
Where e'er she moved, proclaimed her

THE NEW INSURANCE AGENT.
! He Comes in With the New Law-Paul
Morton on His Opportunity.

The new insurance law of the State
Of New York has opened up promis-
ing field for both men and women
with brains and energy in the sale of
life insurance. The law now provides
standard forms of policies, each of
which practically bears the hall mark
Of the State of New York, and this new
order of things has established the
sale of life insurance on a correct
basis. --------..--
The prohibition against rebating and
extravagant allowances to agents has
driven out of the business the old
type of insurance agent, who in many
cases virtually bought business, with
large rebates, instead of selling it.
His place is being taken by profess
s0rs, lawyers, school teachers of both
sexes, and others, who find that being
q life insurance agent under the new
system offers greater reward than
their previous vocations. The law has
reduced commissions but all of the
commission now goes to the agent.

everyone needs and under the pres
ent system it's sale is being conducted
with becoming dignity and propriety.
Paul Morton, president of the Equita-
BILE Life Assurance Society, has taken
the lead in building up an agency Or
Eanization that is in keeping with the
demands of public sentiment, and the
standard he has set for his company.
He says: I'VE want new agents, both
men and women, but none except en-
ergetic, able and truthful people need
apply For such there is splendid
| opportunity"
Mr.. Morton's policy of injecting new
and vigorous blood into the agency
force OF the Society is meeting with
success in all parts of the country.

SAHARA GROWING DRYER.
French Observer Says the Gases Are
Shrinking and Will Disappear.

c. F. Gautier, French explorer, is
authority for the statement that the
Sahara is continuously becoming drie1
to such an extent that the GASES are
perceptibly drying up and will disap,
pear altogether in relatively short
time. He quotes historic records and
physical signs to show that springs
were at one time more plentiful than
now, and that the extent of the
patches where vegetation flourishes
were much greater even so to 100
years ago.
AS the climate of the region has un-
dergone no change in perhaps thou
sands of years, he believes that the
disappearance of the water must be
due to purely mechanical causes. He
considers that it is due to the con-
tinual advance of the great sand
masses to the north, thus forming an
impenetrable barrier against the wa
tershed of the Atlas mountains.-N. Y.

"Whiskers.0

'NVhiskers" was word formerly

Of "whiskers on the upper lip and so
does Defoe in Robinson Crusoe."
Johnson defined q "whisker" as the
hair growing on the upper lip or cheek

resemblance to a small brush, to
"wEisk" properly meaning to sweep,
and a "whisker" having been a par
ticular kind of feather brush-also, in

or rod In the seventeenth century a

in sheet producing moving cloud
effect, and when the colored lights are
played from ten or more searchlights
the result is novel delight. Not only
colored lights but portraits, land
scapes, marine views and moving pic
lures can be thrown on the clouds of
steam in combination with changing
color schemes, says the Western

special applause is the American flag

PALE, WEAK PEOPLE
MADE STRONG AND ENERGETIC
BY DR.. WILLIAMS PINK PILLS.
General Breakdown Caused by Def1-
cient Blood Quickly Corrected by
This Tonic Remedy.

A feeling of general weakness, poor
appetite, loss Of breath after the slight
est exercise and broken sleep are some
of the symptoms of general debility.
You may think that they have no relation
to each other and that you will worry
along, hoping all the time to feel better
soon. This is mistake, for every one
of the symptoms is caused by bad blood,
which must be made pure and new
before health will be restored again. A
tonic treatment is necessary and for this
purpose there is no better remedy than
DR.. Williams Pink Pills.
Mr.. j. G. Havey, of IS Willow St.,
Chelsea, Mass, says: Il was sick for a
number of years from general debility
and indigestion. Twas never free from
stomach trouble and my nerves were so
shattered that the least excitement I'M
fitted me for any serious work. NV
sleep was restless on account Of terrible
pains in the small of my back. These
pains would sometimes last for month
or two. My sight grew weak, there SEEM
ing to be blur constantly before my
eyes. couldn't concentrate my mind
on my work, and the attempt to do so
completely exhausted me.

position I had held for twenty-eight
years. After trying several medicines
without help, read of DR.. Williams

made me feel so much better and SO
much stronger that I started in business
for myself here in Chelsea. I have
never had a return of my former sick
ness and cheerfully recommend DR.. Will
iams' Pink Pills as an excellent nerve
and blood tonic"
DR.. Williams Pink Pills have lonp
