A Mans Necktie.

Ever since Il regiment of Croatian
soldiers marched into Paris three cen

in silk, and Louis XIV, delighted at
their appearance, decided to adopt the
fashion himself, the cravat in its va
rious changing forms has played an i'm
portant part in the attire Of men. And
so reliable is 1t supposed to be as an

Italy's Queen Delights In Making
Clothes for Her Babies.
Although Queen Helena of Italy is
now the mother of a good sized family,
consisting Of three girls and boy, she
seems to enjoy preparing the most
elaborate layettes for each new arrival.
The wardrobe for the latest little
daughter, Princess Giovanni Is even
more elaborate than the one made for
the first child, whom the whole nation
devoutly prayed might be a son and
heir, but who bears the name of Prin-
cess Yolanda.
Many of the little garments were
made by the Queen herself, who is an
expert needlewoman, like several other
European queens. She designed some Of
the embroidery and the monograms
which mark each piece In the layette
The crown is always In the monogram.
Sometimes 1t is embroidered on the
hem of the little dress or petticoat,
sometimes under the coat collar and In
other conspicuous places.
Queen Helena also made the soft, ex.
quisite pillow on which the babe was
placed soon after birth and presented
by the ministers to the members of the
court. According to law the ministers
must become sponsors to the nation
that the child is really royal and not
strong plebeian smuggled in to take
the place of puny one. This pillow
was fashioned so that the babe could
be slipped cozily into the case and tied
in. 1t had a white satin cover under
slip of sheerest linen and Valenciennes
lace. and the babes head rested against
an embroidered design Of the crown
and dove carrying In It's bill an
olive branch, the symbol of peace.

LONESOME IN TOWN.

The long day wanes, the fog shuts down,
The eave-trough spouts and sputters;
The rain sighs through the huddled town
And mumbles in the cutters.
The emptied thoroughfares become
Long streams of eery light;
They issue from the mist and, dumb,
Flow onward out of sight.
The snarllng trolley grumbles past,
Its swapping wire glows;
Again where yon pale light is cast
The hackman's horses doze.
In vain the bargain windows wink,
The passers-by are few;
The grim walls stretch away and shrink
In dull electric blue.
A stranger hurries down the street,
Hat dripping, face aglow;
happy feet, o homing feet,
know where mine would gol
For oh, far over hills and dells
The cows come up the lane,
With steaming fianks and fog-dulled bells
A-tinkle in the rain.

LONDON POLICE.
Poorly Paid Britishers Who Cannot |
BE Bribed

Poorly Paid BritiShers Who Cannot
he Bribed.
The police of London, England, have
just been through a severe investiga-
tion by royal commission which is
a sort of glorified legislative commit
tee. All sorts of people came forward
with charges against the police, but
only two or three alleged that they
had bribed policemen, and in every
case the charges were lacking in proof
and were regarded as merely spiteful
by the members Of the commission.
Nearly every police magistrate in Lon
don gave evidence, and they all agreed
that the police were incOrruptlble.
High tribute was paid recently to
British police court methods and Brit
ish policemen by Police Magistrate
Hogan, of New York, who not long
ago was London visitor. He said
Everybody is treated alike, and | like
the way your police do their duty.
They don't seem to forget things over
night, as many members of the New
York force often seem to do. l should
say that the London policeman is re-
markably honest and far too good for
the job. considering the pay he gets"
The magistrate, whom the cops con
slider their worst enemy in the London
police courts, is Mr.. Plowden. Mr..
Plowden's treatment of policemen, pros
ecuting in the witness box, is one of the
sights of the town. But even he does
not believe that the English policeman
would accept bribe not to DO his
1uty.
The saloon law is very strict In Eng
land, and the opportunity is large for
the species Of graft" said to be plen-
tiful in many American cities.
The pay Of the English police force
is miserable compared with American
police salaries. In London $6 a week
Is cops pay after years probation.

a circular, central citadel, extending

with the citadel by fire doors. Inside
