King EDWARDS Wine Cellars.


The supreme head of the royal cell
lars bears the title gentleman OF the
cellars. and 1t is his duty to attend or
to be represented at ali he principal
sales and to acquire suitable lots. The
fact hat the king is really the pur-
chaser is, of course, kept secret to pre-
vent fancy prices being run up. The
king when the Prince OF Wales always
made a point of taking his own wines
with him when he attended public an
quets, and this custom is still fol-
lowed by the present heir TO the throne.
The king has his own wine sent to pri-
yate houses when he accepts invita-
tions TO dinner. except in places where

President Taking His Spring Walks

from the chicago Evening Post.
The president is taking his spring
walks. This doesn't mean that he
doesn't walk In other seasons, for he
walks daily through the year, rain or
shine. still or clustering. He makes his
walks. however, fit the seasons. The
migration OF the birds is on and Mr..
Roosevelt is directing his steps into bird
byways.
The secret service men who ordlnar-
lily accompany him on his trips know
whether he Is going birding or simply
going tramping by the way In which
he bends his steps when he leaves the
White House. In a few weeks the
warbler season will be at its height,
and then the president viii go almost
daily through Rock Creek park, keep
ing TO the wooded banks which shelve
down towards the stream. and which
are alive with red ~startle. myrtle birds
and the 40 odd other specie.
These Rock creek talks are apt to be
strenuous for the man who Is with
the president. He has a habit OF max

crags with nothing more than an Inch

and Just a niche here and there TO
use as a finger hold. The fall, If M
were TO take IL, would be sheer to the

however, Mr.. Roosevelt doesn't seem to
mind these things. and so he goes
| where he wills. and where the spring
fever and the song Of the Carolina wren
or the whistle OF the cardinal urges
him.

Miss Giulia Morosini, always on the
lookout for a new excuse for extrava-
gance, this winter will dazzle the fash
ionable world by blanketing her thor
oughbreds In ermine. says-the New

fad will cost may be calculated from
the fact that single erlnine lining
for a coat Of any length is worth ST.

more Of the fur than woman, and,
besides, there are at least half doz-
en- high priced nags that share first

This picturesque young woman doubt
less will go step beyond even this
newest within, and when the first thrill
Of the ermine blanket has passed she
may BE- expected to deck her high step

with diamonds.

RAIN SPOUT FOR BALLOON.
Latest Thing IN Aeronautics 10 Drain
ace Canal.


Putting rain spout on balloon Is
the newest thing In aeronautics, ac-
cording to special dispatch from st.
Louis to the Chicago Inter Ocean.
French and German representatives
watched the English contestants In the
international aero races perform the
trick the other day at the skating
rink, Claiming and Cook avenues.
The Englishmen, Griffith Brewer and
Lieutenant Brabazon, painted strip
Of silk equal In length to the circum-
ference OF their balloon with cement.
With small bars of iron they ironed
the cemented silk into a stir semi
circular shape. They set this in posi-
ton around the middle Of the balloon.
The other aeronauts said they had
never seen anything like 1t before.
Brewer told a reporter that he and his
associate had seen so much rain since
they arrived In America that they de-
cided It would be well to install the
rain spout. They used it during the
big race. 1t prevents water off the
top of the bag from dripping down Into
the car.
