HUGHES A MODERN WASHINGTON.

What kind Of President would
George Washington make today? A
President who, with the same high
dignity, infleXible justice, and com
manding power a. i'm 1888 would sneak
the strong, simple words and exercise
the potent influence day by day which
wOdld compel in every class respect
for law and respect for men. Which
would stop strife, shame greed and
graft, inspire the lOftiest American
ambitions, and keep the republic
which he founded true to itself and
to the world. He would set the ma
ton IN his great way, the contagious
example Of "plain devOtedness to du-
ty.' Is America poor i'm men Of this
primal Washington quality today?
Thank God she is rich. The name of
one of them is Charles f.. Hughes

We don I much believe that Wash
ington would fit into the Rooseveltian
days, and if Hughes is a second Wash
ington we fear he will prove dead
failure.

Looks.

There is a certain demoralizing ele.
ment introduced when a woman allows
herself to look slovenly, and no mat
ter in what manner she Is employed
she must learn to keep herself phys
ically and mentally in good condition.
During the social season probably
every woman takes good care of her
appearance, and particularly Of her
hands and face. But when weather.
friends go out of town and enervating
weather tends to bring carelessness in
many duties, how many women real
lie the necessity OF continuing the
strict course of treatment they have
followed during the winter? Yet If the
skin is to look well next fall 1t must
not be neglected during the spring and
summer. Remember that, and do not
subject 1t to rough usage.

Puffs LOSING in Favor.

1t is safe to predict that the fad Of
finger puffs is nearing an end, and
that milady's couture in the near fu
ture will once more present a pretty
and natural appearance in place of the
artificial and trying deliberately dressed
hair. From the mere fact that a yard
or so of puffs may be purchased al
any well-regulated notion counter for
a sum below the dollar mark comes
the conclusion that their day is done
for the ultra fashionable. This passing
OF puffs is thing to be- hailed with
joy. The long rows of sausage-like ex
crescences, usually several shades
"off" the rest OF the couture, and also
often dull and dry looking, while the
rest Of the hair Is bit, at least
glossy, are an eyesore Especially is
this true when through the separate
strands Of the pompadour one catches
glimpses of "rat" or hair roll of q
still different shade.

Many Shapes in Hats.

Happily, the choice of millinery is
considerable this season. We are not
tied down to one shape, as we were
last summer, when SO in every 100
women appeared in huge mushroom
cloche. II is strange that many fash
ionable women remain true to the
cloche shape. But the milliners do
not recommend that the woman who
has to economic, invest in cloche
shapes this spring, as this style has
been done to death, and IL is impos-
sible for 1t to remain in style much
longer. The cloche shape, slightly
turned up in front and at one side,
continues to be amazingly popular,
and this shape is wonderfully be-
coming. The upturned brim allows
the hair to be seen to advantage, and
attractive effects may be gained by
an artistic arrangement of soft feath-
ers around the crown.

GOLD IN PICKLE BARREL.
Widow of an Inventor Discovers Great
Riches Unexpectedly.

Alameda, Cal.-Finding pickle
barrel full of $40 gold pieces was the
delightful experience of the widow of
H. A. Graft of 1915 Sixth street, West
Alameda, while exploring her cellar
a day or two since.
Graft, while hurrying to catch a
train at the Third street station on
February /, was seized with an attack
of heart failure and died at the Oak
land mole. He had, during his life
time, frequently remarked to his wife
that they would soon have enough in
the barrel to get back to their former
home in Germany and live for the
rest of their days.
This reference was never under
stood by his wife, and It now develops
that Graft had invented a mechanical
attachment for piano, which
brought him in money from time to
time. The money he stored in the
pickle barrel and died too suddenly
to divulge the secret.
Mrs. Graf had no idea of the ex-
istence OF the unusual receptacle of
wealth and found 1t quite by acct
dent, thus becoming many thousand
dollars richer.

MODEL FOR "PoLLY" GOWN.
Simple Costume That Can Be Made

Polly" gowns are much prettier
than their extreme simplicity would
seem to warrant In these days of
elaborate gowning. The original is
a simple muslin costing not more than
IL cents yard, sprigged with tiny
clusters of roses There is a nine-inch
straight ruffie around the bottom and
at either side OF the seven rows Of
stirring across the front breadth is a
group of finely-laid plaits, not more
than five inches deep. The bodice is a
round waist with the neck closely
shirred, and plaits like those in the
skirt, extending in yoke fashion from
shoulder to shoulder. The sleeves are
puffs gathered in at the wrists. The
touch OF modernism is found In the
arrangement of the sash OF lowered
ribbon, which is caught slightly above
the waistline, giving the merest sug-
gestion OF an empire effect This same
model is being made up extensively in
pretty Powered silks and trimmed with
bands Of velvet ribbon, with ruchings
OF narrow silk ribbon and with lace.
Naturally enough they lose their sim
plicity of detail by this treatment, but

CRIMSON RECORD OF ANNA

Paris.-All Paris is tittering over
the prospective marriage by which
Prince Helie de Sagan is to succeed
Count Boni de Castellane as the hus-
band of Anna Gould. 1t is character
lied as that grand joke"
Count Boni de Castellane was pretty
bad in his ways, but compared to
Prince de Sagan. his cousin, he is a
cherub with wings only a-sprout.
Since the days of the Caesars, there
have been few men of such mental
and emotional activity, with so many
ingenious quips and quirks of vice, as
de Sagan.
Some of the little dinners, with
which the prince was wont in the old
days to shock even Paris, were quite

fathers. At one time he maintained
IL establishments in Paris. His love
affairs run into the scores. His life,
for imaginative viciousness and I'M
scrupulous Vaccinations to get money,
is unexampled in Paris since the days
of the Grand Monarch.
For years he has been without \
visible means of support. He hts
been openly accused OF being a card
sharp. His name was coupled with
the forgeries of notes in the name OF
Max Lebaudy, millionaire sugar king
In the suit brought by him against
his cousins, the Castellanes, for as
saultlng him, Count Boni openly
charged that he derived his finances
from certain women of Paris.
Altogether 1t is said he has fought
hundred duels. Eight of them at
least were with men of prominence in
Paris. One was with Prince George
Stourdza, whom he first slapped one
night in the lobby of the opera house,
and later wounded.
At another time he pummeled
Maitre Barbour for having declared
that the beautiful Nine De Cast, with
whom at the time the prince was en-.
gagged, had posed in the nude for
Gervex's famous picture, THE Wom-
an in the Mask" Barbour had him
arrested and fined 800 IN the police
court. but ignored his challenge.
Following the recent encounter with
de Castellane the latter declared
there would be no duel as a result of

find no seconds to represent him."
There was no duel.
De Sagan several years ago de-
nounced Prince de Chalais, who mar
ried Miss Beatrice WInans of Balti-
more. as an impostor. claiming the
title for himself Later he challenged
the prince, who declared de Sagan be-
meath his notice. The prince still
bears the title.
In the height of his career de
Sagan added spice to his existence by
hunting up provocations for issuing
a challenge. When the excitement OF
other pleasures palled, he would, II
necessary. deliberately give the insult
to invite a challenge.
In recent years he has figured in
few such meetings. Lack OF funds
has curbed his impetuosity.
Prince Helie's wooing OF Nine.
Gould has been systematic and care
fully determined. From the beginning
of her trouble with her husband the
prince has been Nine. Gould's guide
and sympathizer. He has been almost
constantly in her society. He knows
women well, and was able to say the
right things at the right time to soothe
her ruffied feelings and quiet her I'M
strung nerves.
Nine. Gould became deeply touched
with his apparent devotion. More to
the point, he neither censured her, as
did her family, nor abused her, as
did the count.
The prince comes OF an old family.

his veins. His family is as noble In
