magnificent chateau of PEmpery Car
rieres and the Musee Sociale-was a
great parsonage in several lights. he
died a few years since. Socially a
Paris leader, he found time to himself
to make the Musee Sociale, where
many American students have been
welcomed to learn everything done in
France in the line Of university settle
ments, model houses, pure milk n
all that sort of thing.
The funds of the Musee Socialism
part American girls money-have per-
mitted several French sociologists to
visit the United States to study what
we do in the same lines. Its director,
Leopold Mabilleau, appointed by De
Chambrun, gave one of the French
lecture courses at Harvard.

each American girl who has wasted

others who, in France at least, have
made love matches, reasonable bar

happily and usefully.

Romance of Caroline Fraser.
All but two Of the American women
l have mentioned are the happy
mothers of young mobiles of proud
lineage. Could you find a more roman
tic Ease than that of Caroline Fraser
and her issue? When the princely
Murats-history makers-took refuge
in Bordentown, N. j., Caroline was
g~overness in the family. The heir
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-
oan-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, a 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, a 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 S132,-
100000 voted as compensation to the
martyred nobility.
Chambrun's Good Sense.
To prove that horse has not
left the family, the Marquis de Cham
brun snapped up an American girl, of
the Rives-NichoTs family of Virginia,
when he was attache at Washington.
Good. 1t worked. The family liked
the innovation. Go ahead" they said
to the Comte de Chambrun, when he
was Olu VIlOuSh ~ llIa AAN 49,"

Miss Longworth, Alice Roosevelt's sis
ter-in-law.
The Chambruns are playing a most
prominent part in the great effort to
improve the social situation of the
French working classes. At home, IL

Sleeveless Coats.

One of the most charming novelties
for the coming spring will be coats
heavily braided, but without sleeves.
They hang loosely in plaits from the
shoulder, where they run into a point
and are fastened by a button, These
are made of linen, pique#or silk, as
the occasion may require, and usually
are Elton length. A few are of broad
cloth, in three-quarter length, The
latter are used to over evening
dresses or for garden parties.
They are best, however, when worn
over a light blouse of net or lace, for
then the yoke and sleeves may be
seen, and give to the coat a finished
appearance which in itself it lacks.

bands of trimming are carried from
the shoulders and crossed below the
bust or arranged to meet at the waist
line. The central plat is also trimmed
with frills on either side.
Very soft silk, fine crepe in silk OF
wooden weaves and chiffon cloth are
used for the blouses which are to he
worn before the summers influx OF
lingerie bIouses. The trimming and
styles are much the same as those
which are considered suitable for
blouses of lawn and linen, but many
of the silk blouses have a lining OF
even thinner silk, which makes them
a little more perfect in fit, especially
! for the stout woman. A touch OF gold
is sometimes used on the silk blouses,
either in embroidering the lace in a
very slight and delicate fashion or IN
a narrow braid or cord to outline the
trimming. In the same way color is
used on the white silk blouses.
A dainty embroidery pattern is
worked out in coIored silk on the lace
or a piping of pals blue, pale pink OF
pale green satin is employed, some
times to trim the lace Of the chem
isette when it is made a part of the
lace design and sometimes in narrow
Ter bands or to cover small buttons
which are used as a part OF the dec
grafton. Black satin is used in this
fashion on the white blouses as wei
as the pale tints of color. The idef
seems to be to get a little away from
the entirely white blouse without real
ly going in for colored ones

Louis de La Grange and the Comp
tesse Jean de K~ergorlay? They we're
the daughters of Gov. Carroll of Mary
land, descendants of Charles Carroll
of C~arrollton. They were six children,
inheriting $50, OOO, 900.
Shall l tell you of the Marquise de
Breteuil, who was Miss Garner of st.
Louis? Suppose that she did bring the
marquis $4,000. 900. We can afford it.
Do you want the money? One of her
sisters married Comte Leon Won
Moltke, who represents Denmark in
Paris, and his brother, seeing it was
good and fair, espoused Miss Bona
parte of Baltimore. The other sister,
Edith Garner, married Gordon Cum
mings, made the present king of Eng
lands scapegcat in the baccarat affair
of years ago.
The Marquis De Mores never had a
good hour when not with his wife,
Miss Won Hoffman of New York. James
Gordon Benefits niece, Rita Bell, no
toriously made a man of Count PAU
d'Aramon-himself already half an
American. as his mother had been a
Miss Fisher. They lead a patriarchal
life. The lady never lost a dollar OF
her money.
And so on. America is rich enough
to let her daughters marry where they
will. England spends billions to build
up her prestige with a lot of iron-clads

For trade, he is captain of hussars.
His private life is most passed at

Braid Trimming.

Soutache braid on fiIet net has taken
a firm hold as a trimming, and is now
more than a fad.
Quite a number of the newest waists
have an entire deep yoke of the net
braided vermicelIi fashion with the
braid, instead of the usual lace and
embroidery. Others show V-shaped
chemisettes only, while a third class
is decorated with w~aistcoats, just a
strip from four to six inches wide, sci
in from collar to belt, and collar tc
cuffs. The work is not difficult to do
and is quite handsome in effect
Given a good quality of net, such q
trimming would almost last forever.

White hair, unless given the most

become yellow and streaked.
Hair tonics containing glycerine are
likely to discolor white hair. Eggs
make an excellent shampoo for white
hair, and a little ordinary bluing
