Her Romance.
Early In her married life the "Dou-
BILE Duchess" found herself deserted by
her husband. Manchester preferred the
gambling table to his wife, She found
consolation and companlonship In so
ciety, where she met the Marquis of
Harrington, who stood high in politics
as a right-hand man OF Gladstone and
a member OF the cabinet. He was not
an orator but was clever and fascl-
mating man and had the right Of sue
cesslon to the dukedom OF Devonshire

the busy politician and the German
beauty. As the years went on and he

Good to Keep in Mind.

A lady fell over a brick pile In In
d:anapolis the other day and no dam
age resulted except In the loss of the
lady's hat, which was ruined by the
mud into which it fell The brick pile
was in position owing to negligence of
a city workman, and the city attorney,
hearing about it, called on the lady,
and to avert damage suit insisted on
buying her new hat. This is prob
ably the first time city ever bought
a hat, and it is good thing for ladies
in other cities to remember that to fall
over a city's brick pile may bring like
results.

Hooded effects are in vogue ON all

these are more often simulated by trim

Huge rosettes and bows of glossy rib
bon, also of gold and silver ribbon or
OF panne velvet, are considered very
smart for hat trimming, and many
yards OF material are used In this way.
Larger flowers are favorites this winter
and are placed at almost any spot on
the hat. Grapes In every color are used
extensively, sometimes in large
punches, to match the gown or the body
OF the hat or the ribbon.

Manchester became Duchess Of Dvon-
shire. She was 81 then. This was the
climax of a romance watched by the
whole world.
A Mania for Bridge.
When bridge whist was introduced In
London the Double Duchess became a
strong supporter of the game. 1t be-
came mania with her and the stakes
were heavy wherever she played. When
1t was discovered that at her parties a
regular system of signaling to partners
was practlced 1t caused a temporary
scandal, but did not break up the game.
The duchess finally went to the conti-
nent, her health broken by scandals
and worries over her losses, but she
played abroad and when she returned
to London 1t was the signal for some of
the highest bridge play known in the
history of the game. Many ladies were
reported to have lost their jewels and
their fortunes. Again were there
stories of the duchess prodiglous loss
es. Not long ago William Waldorf As
tor bought Deyonshire House for $5,-
100000. For some time there have
been no social functions under the Dev-
onshire auspices and If there are any
In the near future they will be paid for

When a Girl Is of Age.

In Nebraska she is of age at is. In
the State of Washington she attains
her majority at 19, but If her husband
is Of age, she also is, no matter how
young she may be. This Is strange
law, allowing the husband to control
the majority of his wife. But marriage
also brings our maid to her majority,
no matter what her years may be- in

work Should BE sy.tematined.

An inexperienced young housekeeper
who for the first time tries TO manage
home, doing much. If not all, Of the
work herself, will find no end of diff
culties cleared away Il she will syste-
matize her daily tasks. The system is
only regularity, doing in order all Of
the things that are necessary, so that
before she realizes it everything Is
done, and there is leisure to read, sew
or visit. Much less time is consumed
In the work. far less nervous energy,
and ones temper is saved no end.
To begin with, If woman does not
keep a maid, she should so arrange her
work that by noon certainly, IL not be-
fore, 1t is all done, and the rest of the
day she has to herself.
OF course, breakfast is the first
away. Many housekeepers bring the
dishes from the table into the kitchen
as soon as the meal is over, but l do
not believe in this, because there Is al
ready confusion in the kitchen, and
more dishes simply add to it.
Leave the breakfast table as it is
and return to the kitchen. Begin there
by washing the pots and kettles that
have been used, and then wash what
ever cups, spoons and the like that has
been used In preparing the meal. They
are, of course, kitchen utensils, and so
may be put away as soon as cleared.
Wipe up around the sink, that there
may be fresh place for the dining
room dishes, and then bring out those.
Do not do this one at time, or even
several at once, but have tin tray
(it Is the lightest) large enough for
all or almost all of the dishes, fill this
from the table and bring them all out
IN one trip. Take them from the tray,
wipe that and place 1t near for the
dishes when clean.
Wash the glasses first in water from
which the soap has been taken out. Do
three or four at once, and If the water
Is hot enough they will almost dry
themselves. They may be lifted from
the pan with a mop handle. Turn
them upside down to drain, and then,
with fresh towel, wipe them. Put
each on the tray as tits dry, so that it
may be returned to the dining-room in
one trip After the glasses, wash the
tea or coffee cups, proceeding as with
the glasses. Then, there being no
grease yet In the water, put in all the
small silver. Let that stay In and over
1t put the plates, a few at a time. At
ter several of those are washed it Is
well to turn out the water and put in
fresh, letting it run on the soap to
form suds. Finish washing the
plates, then wash the silver, and, last
ly, do the vegetable dishes or platters.
| prefer getting out dining things,
that it may not be necessary to return
to the kitchen until lunch time. To go
back constantly to the same kind of
work is not only monotonous, but tir-
ing.

Introduced Handlkerchiefs.

Ladies who find the dainty mouchoir
such an indispensable bit of finery are
probably not aware of the fact that the
handkerchief was not used in polite
society until the Empress Josephine
made it fashionable. She carried a
handkerchief and held it before her
mouth to hide her bad teeth. The
Queen Of Italy is said to have the hand
soonest handkerchief in existence,
which is valued at $4,000. 1t took
three women more than five years to
make 1t.
