American Girls In Demand.
All Is not one-sided. 1t has been OBJ
served that when French families get
a taste for our girls they go in for
them quite wholesale. Thus Miss
Hooper of Cincinnati was brought up
In Paris, where her mother enter
tanned so lavishly in one Of the IL
mansions around the Arc de Tri-
omphe.
Well, Comte Horace de Choiseul
saw that his elder brother, the Due de
Choiseul-Praslin, was 30 happy with
Miss Forbes of New York for such a
long time, that he espoused Miss
Hooper. Both these Choiseul-Praslln
wives are absolutely happy, quite as
simulated to French life, while keeping
hold of all that is best in their patri-
mony of America; and 1t Is known
that their steady influence is part Of
that mysterious something that Is put
ting new push into the French aristoc-
racy. The de Choiseul-Praslins, for
example, have yet third nice Ameri-
can girl among them. Miss Coudert,
the heiress of the New York-Paris law
firm, also married into It; and yet
more.
Wait. There is, indeed, fourth!
In the days Of the kings who gave
these titles, king could have quickly
decided whether the Prince de Bearn
ct de Chalais is a real de Choiseul-
Praslin. The courts of the French re-
public could not. Therefore, to this
day, we do not know II Miss Winans

A few years ago sister OF mine

in little cottage in Lincolnshire. and

Romance Of Caroline Fraser.
All but two of the American women
mothers OF young mobiles OF proud
lineage. Could you find q more roman
tic case than that Of Caroline Fraser
and her issue? When the princely
Murats-history makers-took refuge
in Bordentown. N. j.. Caroline was
governess in the family. The hoir
married her-and stuck tight to her
always. She is dead several years
since; but her children, keeping her
blue eyes and corn-yellow hair. have
married everywhere.
The most romantic OF these Ameri-
can-mothered Murat men espoused the
utterly romantic Circassian Princess
Daien, Zephita by name. lovely beyond
words, daughter and sole heir OF the
sovereign house Of Mingrelia-which
land you can hunt In southern Russia.
He is there, king to-day, the boy
from Bordentown!
OF all the French counts, none stand
higher in history or society than the
Chambruns. When Louis XIV. erected
all those marquisates, Comte de
Chambrun got one of the first, and the
Chambruns always have had sense.
They kept much of their land through
the revolution; they had shifted a
good lot Of liquid cash OF England, and
at the restoration they were among
the first to get a whack at the $132,-
100000 voted as compensation to the
martyred nobility.
Chambrun's Good Sense.
To prove that horse sense has not

The Chambruns are playing a most
prominent part in the great effort to
improve the social situation of the
French working classes. At home, In

came to the Chambruns showed the
way to the men, who profited intelli

money.

Miss Shonts, as Duchesse de

are often worth the money. Indeed.
there are American girls who have so

and no hard feelings.
Such is the happy case Of Miss Cur

FOR DINNER PARTY
PROPER METHODS OF ARRAN6-

Flowers on Table Should Correspond
with the Lighting and Color Of

Illuminating Purposes.

damask. Although something more
elaborate may be desired, never use
anything that cannot stand laundering
or cleaning. In selecting flowers. use
those free from heavy odor and to cor
respond with the lighting and color OF
the room. The low glass baskets for
holding flowers are now popular, for
they do not obstruct the view of the
guests. Candles are used for lighting
the table, as they produce the softest
effect. Arrange in small cut glass or
silver dishes olives, radishes. or Gel

Olives. celery, and radishes should
have sufficient cracked ice to keep
them cold.

yond these the spoon for soup. II
oysters or clans are to be served, lay
an oyster fork just beyond the soup
spoon. On the left dispose of the
forks in order of use, the one to be
used first being furthest from the
plate. No tablespoons should be on
the table except those to be used for

nearly in front of the plate, the glass
for sauterne at the tip of the soup

many, when these settlers and their

country in the army and navy. They
regard it a pride to serve their adopted

American patriotism has not been

you that more than three hundred men
