In the royal household she is known
as THE Shadow" because of her
unfaltering faithfulness TO the

On one occasion when there was a
fire at Sandringham she saved the
Queens life by unceremoniously
dragging her from her bed. 1t was
shortly after this incident that she
parted from the man to whom she
had been engaged to be married for
several years. She said that the
choice was between her lover and the
Queen and as she loved the Queen
the more she was sure she did not
care enough for her lover to make
him a good wife. She draws a SAL

6ucHANAN's BIRTHPLACE.
A Monument Erected Where the
Pennsylvania President
Was Born.

The birthplace of Pennsylvania s
only president of the United States
James Buchanan, has been adequately
marked
President Buchanan was born at
Stony Batter, near the village Of
Foltz, in Franklin county. Before
the present monument was erected
there was nothing about the cabin IN
which the fifteenth president first
saw the light of day to indicate that
it had once sheltered the only son of
this state who became the head Of
the nation.
BY the viii Of President Buchanan 5
niece, the late Harriet Johnson Lane
of Washington, d. c., a sum of money
was set aside 10 erect a marker at
her uncle's birthplace. The marker
is pyramidal. It is 81 feet high and
80 feet square. The body of the
monument is composed Of native
stone set in cement. The inscription
plate and seat are made of best ham
mered American gray granite. The
plate is by 2l5 feet and the inscrip-
ton is as follows:
This monument marks the birth
place of James Buchanan. fifteenth
president OF the United States. Born
23d April, 1891. Died LIST June, 1868. "
The monument stands near the cab
In in which President Buchanan was
born.

with medalllons OF blue and white
embroidery. The four tiers of the
skirts are hemmed with fine broad
cloth and the close fitting girdle is
ma e from the same material.
The bodice looks charming with its
low Dutch berth of chiffon cloth en-
brodered with medallions and merg-
ing into one piece with the Japanese
sleeves. The vest is formed of ir-
regular bands of lace stitched over
pale blue ana white checked silk
gauze and the stock has touches Of
silver in the band of lace that runs
along its upper edge.
Elbow sleeves to match the vest
are pretty finished with bands of sill
yer lace.
The use Of a heavier fabric to
weigh down the lower parts of filmy
skirts and give the fashionable,
graceful clinging effect Is an idea
frequently encountered in the sea-
sons modes. Chiffon and net skirts
not only ha facings of silk, MORE
and parre velvet, but the latest idea
for elegance finds expression in
hens of soft. satin finished cloth that
reproduces TIE leading tone in the
color scheme of the toilette.
For "at home" or dinner wear. the
above is a bewitehing model, capable
OF development in any of the sea-
sons soft fabrics.
