This is headed by repousse embroidery
of silver spangles. Most of the trim.
mings are padded and en- relief. Prin,

gold or silver or jet. The mother-of.
pearl spangles are not so much in ia.
vor as last year. They have been
found to prove hard and unbecoming.
For young girls, the most delightful
ribbon arrangements are being de-
signed on tulle or tartatan skirts, the
narrow satin ribbons forming a trel-
lis work or crossbar design. The bod.
ices are trimmed with bretelles made
in the same way. We are now follow
ing the foreign fashion of wearing
muslin or thin silk blouses under our
fur coats, and such is the incongruity
of fashion that fur and winter coats
alone give the impression of mid-win-
ter
The very latest idea for smart wear
is to have the bodices as flimsy as pos
sible. Let US take, for instance, a
dress of satin-faced crepe-de. Chine, in
color of a soft brownish moss-green.

States, If not in the world. The in-
creased Importance Of the British mis-
sion in Washington has made its So
cial Importance relatively large.
Whether Mrs. Bryce will show the
tact, the social grace and the requi-
sites of leadership which must be
shown if the wife of even most emf
nent commoner is to have absolutely
unQuestioned social precedence over
scions of some Of the oldest families
of England is a problem. Those who
know her, however, and her husband,
and the extent Of their study of Amer
lean life, believe that Mrs Bryce will
go smoothly over the spots which
made such rough going for the former
ambassador and his wife. AS chief
secretary for Ireland, Mr. Bryce had
more than little experience in social
diplomacy, and it was the same with
Mrs. Bryce.
Mr.. and Mrs. Bryce have many ira!
ditions of British hospitality before
them when they take up their duties
at the British embassy at Washington.
The mansion itself is larger and more
costly than the embassy of any other
power in Washington. It is an i'm
pressiEe and stately building, with
an air of British solidity about it.
Even the casual visitor recognizes it
| as being unlike the surrounding
houses and acknowledge the fitness Of
things when told that it is the home
of the British ambassador.
The house is admirably adapted for
large entertainments. To the right
| is the ambassadors study communi-
eating with the chancellery, which has
its own entrance and is quite sepa-
rate from the house proper. On the
other side are two large communicat-
ing drawing rooms opening into
beautiful ballroom, which leads into
the dining-room. The ballroom is.
with one exception, the largest in the

The biggest and the finest exhibition

equine enthusiasts is scheduled for
London next June. Owners of fine
horses In many lands, including the
crowned heads Of Europe, are to be
among the exhibitors and prizes to
: the amount of $4,000 will be dis
trlbuted. It will be the greatest horse
show the world has ever seen, and
like the New York and Chicago horse

among the chiefest of the attractions
The Olympia, Londoh's largest ex-
hlbltlon hall. place twice as large

! From time immemorial the cultiva-
ton of fine horses has been the
. pleasure and diversion of the leisure
classes of all countries. The advent
of the automobile has not diverted the
interest in the horse as an exhibit
: More than ever is he now the TOW of

In England and ON the continent the
fad IS older and more popular than il
is in this country. Consider then. the
ranks of fashionable classes, from

OF the world, who will be represented
at the show?
: Never before in the history of the
world has there been a social event
of such universal interest.
To America belongs the honor of
originating the plan. James T. HYDE
assistant secretary of the National
Horse Show Association of America.
and long associated with the manage.
ment OF horse shows in this country
first suggested the idea a couple of
years ago. The matter was presented
to influential persons in England and
Endorsed enthusiastically. Reginald
Vanderbilt last spring visited London
chiefly to get the consensus of opin-
ion regarding the feasibility of the
plan. A committee was formed in
England, another in America and one
on the continent to ascertain the feel
ing of horse owners and capitalists.
The report was unanimously favor
able King Edward is said to be much
interested in the affair and it is about
certain that he will enter some of the
noted horses from the royal stables
at Windsor and Buckingham. King
Edward is a great lover of well-bred

some of the best blooded stock in

Europe. Other minerals have also
been found there, and even gold has
been secured in several localities But
the yellow stuff was never struck in

the contrary is reported from this
wonderland. An elderly "prospector"
is said to have made a good living for
six years past by washing gold from

rumors induced number Of promin-
ent Swedish gold diggers in Alaska

to have said other things with more
sting in them.
Lady Susan even set up sort OF
rival social center to that which the
ambassador and his wife maintained
in a half-hearted way. Any long So
cial effort: was sure to make Mrs. Du-
rand i'll, and her heart was not in the
work of smoothing the path of her
husband by being on the most init
mate terms with official life sisters
who could most help him.
In the natural order of affairs, Mrs.
Bryce would be outranked and pre-
ceded to dinner by a score of British
women now in Washington if she
were not the wife of the ambassador.
After all, however, the Englishman
and the wife of the Englishman think
enough Of their governmental repre-
sentatives to bow gracefully to even
commoner and the wife of a COM
moner, if there is but enough tact on
the other side to make the social task
more or less easy. It is believed that
many little social problems were con-
sidered carefully before Mr.. Bryce was
so signally honored by. his country,
and that the importance of keeping
an eye on the social aspect of life at
the capital was considered at some
length by him and the persons hay
ing to do with his appointment.
Mrs. Bryce has been much interest
ed in many of the movements in
Great Britain which have counterparts
in this country and which are fur
thered by the most prominent Of
American women. She has done con-
siderable philanthropic work of an IN
ostentatious kind. She is interested
in the ballot for women, but it is I'M
derstood that she believes that the
time is not yet ripe to give her Eng
ish sisters the suffrage. In her ma
tive city of England she was one of
the most active and best known of
all the workers, and she showed much
of the same sort of ability that her
husband has shown in the field of lit
erature.

There has always seemed to me to
be a strange contrast between the

Indifference about her appearance

outside the sanctuary, but within, a
head something between that of
squaw or of Struwelpeter is what is
probably to be found, reposing among
lace-edged sheets and pillows in the

that, pretty woman should ever alb
dictate the throne of her beauty. There

MADE SOME MONEY-The ladies
of the Baptist church who gave u
turkey and plum pudding supper and
bazaar in the Lowell block on West
Main street Saturday evening failed
to make preparation for the number
who attended and a result almost all
the eatables were sold out and many
were turned away without supper.
Most of the fancy articles were sold.
The ladies made considerable money
out of the venture and it will be
used in connection with the Baptist
church work here.
