It was built by John Crosby, alderman of Lon don in l466, on land leased from his neighbor, the the prioress of St. Hell en's-land on which ages before stood the villa of Roman Londoner, John Crosby was no obscure man. A rich citizen who combined the business of a grocer and the wool-stapler. he was a leader of London in arms when Falconbridge was storming at the gate of London bridge. For his serv- ices he was knighted by Edward w., when the mayor and aldermen rode out to meet the king beyond Shore ditch in 1471. He did not live long to enjoy the house which Stow de- scribes as very large and beautiful, the highest at that time in London" 1" He was buried in St. Helen's church, where you may see him today lying in his harness, with his Yorkist col lar of suns and roses about his neck.

New Powder Rau.

Members of the gentler sex used to carry small chamois skin bags filled with talcum powder concealed about their persons in various mysterious places. If bag was not at hand the knotted corner of a handkerchief would do. The powder thus con cealed, in conjunction with the moist ened corner of a handkerchief, was used to make an impromptu toilet in cases where soap and water was not at hand and to restore the ravages of wind and dust. This apparatus now has been condemned as crude and bunglesome.
 The newest wrinkle is the "papier poudre," French importation. It is little square of thin paper, smooth on one side and slightly roughened on the other, which can be used equally well as a sponge, powder puff or per. fume bag. The slightly roughened side acts as sort of sandpaper, clean. ing the dust from the face. while at the same time the scented powder is rubbed on. The advantage of the papier poudre is in the fact that 1t can be concealed anywhere-in the palm of the glove. under the belt, or folded ip the handkerchief-and in the hands of a skillfuI manipulator can be used without attracting the slightest atten. tion by means of clever combination with the handkerchief.

LONDON'S CHANGES
HISTORIC SPOTS GIVING PLACE
 TO MODERN IMPROVEMENTS.
Latest Building to Face Destruction ls Crosby Hall, Once the Pal ace of Richard, Duke of
 Gloucester.

Gradually London is being changed and losing many of her historic, but now useless buildings. which must give place to more modern structures so as to meet the demands of an ever. increasing commercial activity. The latest building to come under con. demnation is Crosby Hall in Bishop gate street. one of the oldest and most famous historic edifices in the great British metropolis. It is soon to be demolished to make way for a bank building. Since 1868 1t has been occupied as a restaurant In that capacity 1t is only less familT far to Americans than the Che shire Cheese in Fleet street, whose claims to historic renown is based on the tradition, by no means well substantiated, that Dr. Johnson was wont to satisfy the cravings of the inner man there.
 But Crosby Halls claims to his toric fame admit of no dispute. They

 On the next day the platform was adopted. On the following day, amid delirious enthusiasm in the packed galleries and not a little agitation among the delegates-who, even to the Knowing ones." were as ignorant of what was really going on as private soldiers are of the generals plan of battle--amid waving of banners and crash of band and shriek of crowd Burbank was nominated on the first ballot. Our press hailed the nomina. tion as "splendid victory of the hon. est common sense of the entire party over the ultra conservatism of fac. tion associated in the popular mind with segregated wealth and undue en. toyment of the fayors of laws and lawmakers"

IDEAS FOR THE HOSTESS.
Novel Musical and Luncheon That 10
 Easily Arranged.

This pretty affair was given for 30 guests. Six persons were set at six small tables while a stringed orches- tra concealed on a side porch played softly during the luncheon.
 In the center of each table there was candle with shade the color of the roses used at each plate. As be- fitting the month roses were used ex- clusively throughout the rooms. The menu was very simple, but served so daintily. First, canteloupe thoroughly iced. clans. sweetbread grilled on toast. fingers. potato croquettes, as- paragus vinagrette, ices served in crepe paper rose-holders to match the decorations of each table. French coffee, Roquefort cheese balls, bon bons. pistachio nuts and creme de menthe completed the repast.
 The place cards bore musical quo tation and the programme consisted of soprano and baritone solos and a harpis. All the performers were in- timate~friends of the hostess. Some of the especially good quotations are given. They were written in fancy letters:
 Music exalts>each joy, allays each grief.'
 Here will we sit, and let the sounds of music break on our ears"
 And softly the delicate viol was heard, like the murmur of, love or the notes of a bird"
 We know they music made in heaven"
 If music be the food of love. play on."
 There's music in the air"
 There is music in all things, if men had ears."
