probably to be found, reposing among
lace-edged sheets and pillows in the
early morning. Now it is not right
that a pretty woman should ever abb
dictate the throne of her beauty. There
is nothing so ugly as tangled, UNI

about on pillow; but thanks to the
incoming night caps none need pre-
sent that appearance nowadays.
One exquisite little cap we saw
the other day was of fine lace en-
broidered with the daintiest of tiny
ribbons in the form of flowers and
leaves in pale pink and pale blue. A
band of lace was loose from the main
part of the cape, and came low over
the forehead, with a tuft of curls pull,
ed out between. A second cap was
what might be called the revised
Dutch" cap, a sort of glorified mob"
of finest muslin with square pieces
at the side, and hanging full at the
back of the neck. There were square
insertions Of embroidery on the side
pieces which framed the face in the
most becoming way, and the cap was
edged all around with Valenciennes
lace. while blue ribbon was tied in
bows at either side. A third cap was
a Belgian shape with quaint rounded
pieces of broderie Anglaise over the
ears, edged with Valenciennes;
round piece of the broderie, threaded
with narrow ribbon, formed the crown
of the cap at the back, while a wide
ribbon passed under the sides and
was tied in a big bow across the
front.

The new British Ambassador, Mr..
James Bryce, and his wife, to whom
the English papers have alluded as
the ambassadress, have taken posses
sion of the British embassy at Wash
ington and are becoming settled in
their new home and preparing for the
social duties which will devolve upon
them in connection with the social
activities of official Washington life.
1t is safe to say that the Bryces,
strong in their knowledge of the
American and of all things American,
will give far more attention to social
affairs than was ever before given
by a representative of Albion, and
will thus escape the embarrassments
which grew up around Sir Henry
Mortimer Dnrand. the predecessor of
Mr.. Bryce, largely through the &C
tivity of Lady Susan Townley, the
wife of a minor member Of the Brit
ish embassy TT Is said that LADY
Townley complained to persons who
took the report to the ears of the
king and of the other persons who
have to do with such matters that
the former British ambassador and
his wife were not nearly so intimate
with President and Mrs. and Miss
Roosevelt as were many another pair
in Washington. 1t is said that there
were tears in the voice of Lady Susan
when she recounted to the ears of her
her friends in London the familiarity
with which President Roosevelt dealt
with Speck Won Sternburg-it was
even remarked by the irreverent that
the president called him 'Specky"
and of the welcome Jusserand al
ways received at the White House.

experience of the wife of Sir Henry
Mortimer.

Road Funds Apportioned.

st. Paul-The state highway COM
mission has effected the distribution
of the state highway fund. The attor-
ney general has decided that no appro-
priation can be made by the commits
sion except for expenditure on state
highways designated as such by county
boards. Counties which have not COM
piled with the law providing for de-
signation of state roads in the appor-
tionment received only the minimum,
and this is held in trust for them until
they shall designate a state highway.
The number Of counties failing to de-
signate state highways is IS, which
have received the minimum of $500
each. The other counties received
amounts varying from $500 to the
maximum Of $1,000. In making the
distribution, the areas of each county
and the expense Of road construction
incident to development of new terri
tory is given full weight.

Reekeepers End Meeting.

Fashion is called tickle for more
than alterations sake. She has all
the feminine failings-or what are
known as such. Inconsequence. love
of change, lack of humor, all that
goes to the making of the eternal fem
mime. Over these the world has
theorized for ages past, and always
will. Till the last day, both woman
and fashion will be denounced for
their whims and moods, for it is pos
sible in life to live down everything,
even crime, but theory-never.
Variety is not wanting in the new
fashions. The very short bolero is
worn over q high Empire belt, but
most popular of all are the coatlets
with tiny basques. At present, every
thing is supposed to have basque,
and the long, tight-ftting coats are
still quite in fashion The short fur
bolero with pointed front and back
reaching to the waist-line is quite out
of favor; but we are still wearing
and the daintiest of cape boleros with
frilled sleeve made in fur or in vel
vet.
Stripes are quite as fashionable, if
not more so, than ever. They take the
form of black hair-line tartan or tweed
fabrics. Striped also are our evening
gowns, of silver and white, or colored
gauze, with deep hem of satin or
chine Pompadour ribbon at the hem.
This is headed by repousse embroidery
Of silver spangles. Most of the trim
mings are padded and en- relief. Prin-
cesse gowns are entirely spangled in
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.

co have said other things with more
sting in them.
Lady Susan even set up a sort of
rival social center to that which the
ambassador and his wife maintained
in 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-
coded to dinner by 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 nf their governmental repre-
sentatives to bow gracefully to even
a 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. 1t 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 hav-
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 un-
ostcntatious kind She is interested
in the ballot for women, but it is un-
derstood that she believes that the
time is not yet ripe to give her Eng
lish 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

1t is another field which she will en-

States, if not in the world. The in

sion in Washington has made it's So
cial Importance relatively large.

as their foundation and purpose is
anything but joke or of freakish
nature. The idea is new in this coun.
try, however, though the success OF
the Paris institution will give it an
impetus among the advanced thinkers
among us and those who have made
the interesting problem of mental
philosophy a critical or a pastime
study.
"The rules of the society do not call
for absolute silence, but the members
are supposed not to talk unless they
have something to say. Chatter is alb.
solutely tabooed. Each member pledges
himself to avoid noisy places and par
ticipation in public demonstrations.
At recent meeting the members de-
clared that since they had joined the
club their nervous systems were in
much better condition than before they
became members.
"Of course such a club could not be
composed of the fair sex, even though
they were all devout believers in and
followers of psychological teachings.
A congregation composed of silent
women would be impossible of con-
ception, and while our fair sisters may
experience chagrin that they are to be
shut out of participating in any form
of club life among themselves that is
also INDUCED in by their brothers, this
is one form of assembly that bars them
out. Neither would politicians be eli.
gible for membership, unless as a dis
ciplinary measure.
1.-THE club is based upon the sound
psychological principle Of not doing
unnecessary things or calling the brain
cells into play by unnecessary thought.
In practical everyday life this princi-
pie is exemplified in the establish
ment of retreats among certain of the
religious creeds to which members
may repair for meditation and rest,
and in medical circles it is shown in
another form in the so-called rest cure.
If one wishes to enter into a study of
a mild form of this particular princi.
pie, let him consider the amount of
wasted energy, physical and mental,
that the average person each day ex-
ponds in needless talk and needless
action; it will be found to be prodi-
gious.
"All rules of mechanics converge
to the concentration of force and elm
ination of waste energy. In human
affairs nearly every individual endeav-
ors to expend as much energy as he
can in the simplest as in the greatest
of his endeavors,. seeming to think
that the more force he puts into an
act, thought or speech the better
it is"
