Dainty Cotton Prints

For freshening up country house
bedrooms and to give cool, summery
air to those in town, flowered cotton
prints are invaluable. They come in
sets, including bed cover, curtains,
cushion and table covers, all to match,
though each piece can be bought sep
arately. The groundwork of the prints
Is invariably white or cream, and the
design may be an all over or bordered
one. The colorings are dainty and
fresh, including blues, pinks, mauves,
browns and reds. With a pair of
these print curtains at the window

be made to assume a sweet and invit-
ing look.

Recently wayfarers in the vicinity
of the Longworth residence noticed
a hanson cab drive up to the legis-
lator's house. In second Mr.. Long
worth, bearing suit case, emerged
from the vehicle. Evidently Mrs.
Longworth had been on the lookout
for his arrival, for before cabby had
received his hire the presidents

stairs and out into the garden. which

Without stopping to unlatch the

The Evening Wrap.

Evening wraps, so says fashion, are
to be more wonderful than ever. All
colors are to be used and the mate
rials are to be of the softest quail
ties. Especially beautiful are the in
terlined pongee wraps, these mostly
coming in the natural color and hav-

gorgeous evening cloak, improvised
from Japanese silk and handsomely
embroidered in oriental flowers and
designs, was observed in one of New
York's most popular cafes The cloak
was long. almost completely covering
Its wearer's gown and was made with
pointed mandarin sleeves and pointed
hem. Another lovely evening wrap is
made fro- soft black satin and
trimmed with bands of oriental or
Dresden silk. This gives quite Jap

STRAWBERRIES AS A COSMETIC.
Properly Used, It Is Probably the
Best of All.

The strawberry, properly used, is
the best known cosmetic 1t clears
the system, cleanses the skin, takes
on spots, removes freckles and gives
the complexion that charmingly pretty
glow which all lovers of beauty ad-
mire. 1t can be taken internally and
applied externally, and in either case
it is excellent
An ideal beauty breakfast is pint
of Strawberries with plenty of sugar.
but with no cream or milk, eaten with
toast or bread
A berry mashed and applied to the
face will, if it is left for half ar nour,
remove even the most obstinate spots.
At the end of half an hour the Juice
must be washed off with hot water.
Strawberry juice rubbed into the
arms and hands will whiten them
marvelously
For those who are too fair to use
the plain strawberry juice, the fol-
lowing complexion bath will serve the
same purpose:
Take half a cup of ripe berries and
squeeze the juice into a basin, strain
ing it through a cloth. To the Juice
add pint of boiling water and a cup
of red vinegar. This makes an ex-
cellent bath for the arms and hands
and is exquisite for the face, although
none must be allowed to get in the
eyes. The cheeks and forehead can
be daubed with the wash without get
ting any in the eyes.

scene of an international aeronautic
contest in which IL British, 13 French,
three German, two Belgian and one
Swiss balloon competed. The destina-
ton was Maidenhead, more than 80
miles away.
The most interesting feature of the
contest was the number of women who
made the ascension and the great
eagerness shown by society leaders to
secure places in the cars.
At the start of the race the Belgian
balloon Emulation de Nord struck a
tree in the grounds. The pilot cleared
the obstruction, but his car took with

ANCIENT COURTS SEVERE.
Old-Time Records Unearthed Show
Strange Punishments.

Dover. Del.-When some of Della
wares ancient court records were
found in the office of the Kent county
prothonotary, some dating as far back
as 1893, the writing was found to be
as legible as the day it was written.
Among them were records of convic-
tions of men and women for peculiar
offenses, the sentences frequently be-
ing unusually severe.
One preacher was convicted for
marrying two couples in one day; a
spectator in the court was sent to
jail for smoking a pipe in the court
room; convict was arraigned for not
having a Roman "T' on the front of
his shirt to designate that he had
been imprisoned for theft, and a serv-
ant who had left her master without
his consent was sentenced to ITO days
in the county jail.

Extraordinary Day Skirts.

Those who aim to live up to the rep
utation of dressing always in the
latest of French modishness must
adopt the extraordinary new day
skirts-skirts which are quite straight
and very tight, with no bottom flare
whatever. Nothing must hold this
skirt out at the bottom which just
touches all round and ends with a
fiat plait. This fashion edict will bring
CONSERVATION to the majority, but as
the great makers of costumes say: TT
does seem odd just now, but, ladies',
you will all get used to it in less than
a week"-Vogue.

BURIAL OF CROWN JEWELS.
Scottish Treasure That Was Hidden Be-
meath Pulpit of Parish Church.

The curious story Of the search among
tombstones for the stolen regalia re-
vealed in the minutes of evidence heard
by the Niceregal commission on the loss
of the Dublin castle jewels recalls the
interesting fact that the Scottish crown
jewels. which mysteriously disappeared
ut the time of the Cromwellian invasion,
were buried for safety. They were To-
Gated in Dunottar castle. which was be-
sieged by Cromwell, and ON the eve of
surrender Lady Ogilvie, wife of the com
mander of the beleagured force managed
to eiude the besiegers and get the jew
els out of the castle.
They were buried beneath the pulpit
in the parish church. and the place where
they were hidden was never revealed till
the Restoration. Ogilvie was rewarded
with a baronetcy, and Keith, who misled
the Cromwellians by stating that they
We're in the possession of the exiled
Charles H., was made an earl.
The mysterious disappearance of the
Dublin state jewels has had one curious
parallel Some years ago casket con
tanning jewels of the value of $4,000
disappeared under circumstances of the
greatest mystery from the house of the
Duchess of Leinster in Dominic street,
Dublin. In spite of the most thorough
investigation no trace of the thieves
could be discovered. although rumor sug-
geSted that more than one person of rank
could throw light on the robbery.
The jewels were ultimately returned TO
their noble owner. but to this day we
believe the mystery Of their disappear
ance remains unsolved.- Westminster

SUBSCRIBERS OF ROME.
Ancient Regulations Regarding Height
of Tenements and Palaces.

The skyscraper is no modern inven-
ton says a s.. Louis architect. well
read in the history of his profession.
In all the ancient cities where brick or.
stone was available high houses. within
the walls of the city. Were very numer-
Gus because of the lack of ground space
for building.
In the days of Augustus the tenement
houses in Rome became so high as to be
dangerous and laws We're passed con
denmning a number of tenement rows
and ordering them to be taken down,
while at the same time a law was enact
ed limiting the height of all future tene-
ments to 100 feet For palaces and pub
lie buildings there was no limit.
After the burning of the city in
Nero's time the streets, which before
were no wider than our alleys. were
made broader; some of them, through
the business part of the city, were 40
feet wide, and some of the greater
thoroughfares We're so.
The tenement height was lowered to
so feet, and as a consequence the city
spread far beyond its walls. The aver
age height of 4 ceiling in a Roman tene-
ment was little over feet; the win
dows We're open holes in the wall,
stopped in cold weather with bread shut
ters. SO the worst modern tenement is
a palace compared with the skyscraper

at its best."-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

HOW WOMAN WAS MADE.
The Hindu Theory Pretty Substitute
for the Rib Theory.

The poor Hindu was sadly put to it
to account for woman, lovely woman
but no more so than many wiser ones
since his time. According to the legend.
Twashtri the Vulcan of Hindu mythol-
ogy, created the world, but when he
arrived at the final object which was
to be his chef d'oeuvre he found TO his
annoyance that he had run out of mate
rials He had not a single chunk Of
solid matter left.
With "a mental execration upon his
carelessness he fell into a profound
meditation, the result of which was that
he took 1.-THE roundness of the moon. the
undulating curves of the serpent. the
graceful twist of the creeping plant, the
light shivering of the grass blade and
the slenderness of the willow, the vel
vety softness of the flowers. the lightpeSs
of the feather, the gentle gaze of the
doe, the frolicsomeness of the sunbeam.
the tears of the cloud, the INCONSISTENCY Of
the wind, the timidity of the hare the
vanity of the peacock, the hardness of
the diamond, the cruelty of the tiger. the
heat of the fire, the chill of the snow.
the cackling of the parrot and the COO
ing of the turtle dove"
He mixed these together in equal pro-
portions and the result was woman. Aft
er all, demands the Kansas City jour
