dropt from the mouth of young John
Rockefeller of Sunday morning. His
Sunday-school class have been stagger-
ing along in the dark, getting on as well
as they could without him, for three
weeks. 1t has been hard on them, for
young John has counseled and advised
them on all subjects, from the selecting
of life partner down to the evils of
overeating, but they just had to stand
it. He appeared last Sunday looking
pale and thin, and told them in a trem-
bling voice that he would have to give
up teaching the class for the present,
but that he should attend as member,
not taking part, however, in any dis

been suffering from nervous breakdown,
but the doctor says he will be all right
after little rest.
The comforting news comes from
across the water that the Duchess of
Marlborough has entirely regained her
good looks and high spirits, or whatever
good looks she may have possest, for
the Duchess was never considered a
beauty. She and the Duke seem to
have arrived at a perfectly amicable
understanding with regard to their two
boys; either she will bring them with
her to America, returning with them in
three months, or the Duke will keep
them with him for a couple of months
and then send them to America, should
the Duchess be in this country at the
time. The all-important question of the
Duchess coming to this country for the
Summer seems just at present to be
decided in the affirmative. despite the
recent declaration to the contrary made
by her stepfather, Mr.. o. H. P. Bel
mont.

Nine. Emma Games, the famous
opera singer, is seeking divorce from
her husband, Julian Story, the we'll
known artist. An over-development of
the artistic temperament in both seems
to be the cause of their failure to make
a success of the matrimonial relation.
Mr.. and Mrs. Story have practically
lived apart for the past five years, and
even when Nine. Games sang il Phila-
delphia, where Mr.. Story has been
spending his Winters for several years,
she never stopt at the same hotel with
him. Each spent their own money and
went their own way. Nine. Games said
it made her nervous to have her hus-
band come into her dressing room dur
ing a performance of the opera, SO, un-
like most husbands of prima donnas,
he was never seen behind the scenes.
There are stories of Nine. Games hav-
ing brought suit on account Of her hus-
bands too marked attentions to young
society woman of Philadelphia whose
portrait he had painted, but the artist
Indignantly denies this. Other rumors
are to the effect that incompatibility

credited with saying that she wants to
go back to the woods of Maine, where
she wandered as girl; that she has an
indescribable longing such as she never
had before to visit all the old places,
and that she means to do this. While
possessing remarkably beautiful voice
and singing with exquisite method,
Emma Eames has always been thought
cold, unmagnetic singer. 1t is said
that she has been singing divinely late
ly, throwing an unaccustomcd warmth
into her work.

Dyed dogs are the present fad in
Vienna. Paris and London, and New
York is threatened. To have ones
white fluffy pet dyed a pansy color, or
any other striking color, is eminently
the thing with the idle women of fash
ion of these cities, or, better still, to
have several dogs of different colors to
match certain driving costumes. An
other fashion which has already been
adopted by our New York women Is to
| own a marmoset, and to have 1t in evil
dence in the drawing room when enter
tanning. During the time of the Stuarts
in England every one who called them

/ test marmoset ever brought to this
country. 1t is very small and awfully
