| To buy a bead bag means quite an
outlay of money, and to make one
takes a great deal of time, in addition
to which the work is trying on the
eyes. But bead bags are so lovely
that 1t is almost impossible to resist
the temptation to try what the fancy
workshop considers very simple
pattern" Small bags are very little
better than no bag at all. To be use
full they should have a capacious In
terror. The favorite shape is, rather
longer than wide, and on the bottom
of the bag is sewn very close and
well shaped fringe that harmonizes
with the flowered pattern of the bag
or contrasts with it very decidedly
One side of these bags is worked with
floral design in natural colors, while
the reverse side has ones monogram
done in gold on a white background
The mountings are very elaborate,
either of gold with jewels or of etched
silver, and they are fitted with long
chain handles.
Next to the bead bag comes the
reticule, a charming article, provided
with ample room for all of ones lit
tie belongings, coin purse, card case
and vanity box, if this is not carried
separately These reticules draw to-
gether at the top exactly as the old
fashioned kind. They are very easily
made and when completed are quite
as effective and ornamental as the
more costly bead and gold affairs.
Handsome flowered ribbon makes
the daintiest reticules. Ribbons come
in such exquisite colorings and de-
signs that they are almost lovely
enough as they are for reticules. 1t
so happens, however, that fashion
likes to paint the lily, as 1t were, and
to further embellish these ribbons and
brocades with bead work. A pattern
is selected showing, perhaps, a richly
colored rose or cluster of flowers on
a plain background, and then with her
nimble fingers the young woman sets
to work to embroider the flowers in
beads. The ribbon coloring of this
decoration is followed absolutely. A
cluster of flowers of average size or
one large flower looks much better
than tiny flowers when treated in this
way. A golden yellow rose shading
to reddish brown on cream back
ground is very dainty when worked
out in gold and reddish brown beads.

ROYALTY FORCED UPON THEM.
Roumanian Monarchs Had No Desire
for Regal Honors.

Neither King Carol of Roumania nor
his queen, known in the world of liter
ature as Carmen Sylvia, had any de-
sire for regal honors, and when the as
sassination of Gear Alexander in 1881
forced them on Roumania's unhappy
throne, they went protestingly. Carol
finally consented to be king, but de-
clared he would never sit upon a
throne nor wear crown.
The chamber and senate at Buchar-
est insisted, declaring the people want
ed and had a right to expect these
symbols of royalty. Carol protested
that a coronation ceremony would
make himself and his wife ridiculous,
like actors in play" but was forced
to yield and get himself crown.
But no headgear of silks and pre-
cious stones for him. He sent to the
arsenal for one of the cannon captured
from the Turks, ordered that it be
melted down and from it's steel a
crown be made, lin remembrance of
the brave Roumanian blood shed for
liberty" And with this he was
crowned.
Carmen Sylvia said of her husband s
crown: "No crown, surely, ever spoke
as this one spoke in days gone by,
when it roared and Numbered night
and day, and reeked with smoke and
flame"

SALAD LIKED BY QUEEN.
Makes Desirable Adjunct for WON
ans Luncheon.

The newest salad is named after
the Queen of England, with whom 1T
is said to be prime favorite.
The Alexandra salad is secured in
only two or three of the most ex-
elusive hotels in town, but may easily
be prepared at home, and is a most
desirable dish for woman
luncheon. 1t is made of lettuce, cell
cry, grapefruit and fresh cherries put
together after the following manner:
Take a very hard head of lettuce for
each person, remove all the outer
leaves, then cut out the center of the
heart, making hollow as big around
as a 50-cent piece Put into this hol-
low first layer of celery, cut in
pieces not over an inch in length and
shredded as fine as chrysanthemum
petals. On this lightly pile tiny sec.
tons of grapefruit pulp until the hol'
low is filed On the top place four
fresh ox-heart cherries, first remov-
ing the pits, and over the whole pour
a light French salad dressing made
of oil. vinegar salt and pepper prop
erly blended. Set each lettuce heart
in one of the green outer leaves, lay
on a pretty plate and serve with
cream cheese and toasted wafers.-

HAD LAUGH ON SAILORS.
CavaIrymen Turned the Tables on
Blue-CIad Hosts.

A jack tar from one Of Uncle Sam s
battleships who was on a recent visit
to Washington related In a converse
ton with Star reporter an amusing
story of how several cavalrymen OF
the United States army turned the
tables on himself and several other
sailors, while the battleship was sta
toned at Havana, Cuba.
The sailors, who are up to all kinds
of tricks, were on shore leave one day,
and invited a number of the cavalry
men to take a sail with them. This
struck the fancy of the army men, but
before the trip was half over every
one of them had become seasick, much
to the amusement of the sailors, who
had a good, hearty laugh at their
guests expense. Upon returning to
the shore the soldiers thanked them
for their trip and returned to their
quarters.
A few days later the cavalrymen
journeyed out to the battleship and in
vit' the sailors who had been so
kind as to give them sail to take a
horseback ride about the island. The
sailors consented at once. 1t devcl-
oped that the soldiers had picked out
the Understanding horses at the camp
for the sailors to ride, and as all know,
the army horses follow the leader as a
drove of sheep. one big cavalryman
on fine steed at once stuck his spurs
into his horses sides, and he dashed
off at full speed The others, on
which were the sailors, followed in a
line. This pace was kept up for about
five miles, at the conclusion of which
each sailor was either holding on to
the saddle or had his arms about the
horses neck
The sailors returned to their ship
in the afternoon, but all were so sore
from their horseback ride that they
could hardly stir from their hammocks
the next day. The cavalrymen came
out to the ship bright and early and
invited them to take another ride, but
the sailors declined with thanks.
