TWO. POINTERS

Have you yet occupied the front
row on the new cars Of the Subur-
ban trolley line! The Press re-
porter took his first ride in one this
week. While he was preparing to
strap himself securely to the seat,
as has been his custom on the old
cars, he suddenly perceived the use
lessness Of it, for the thing glided
along as if on creased wheels. One
can quietly remain in his seat,
close his eyes and imagine he is on
a Pullman. Then the charm of
newness is another fascination, ths
interior is clean and modern in its
arrangements and fixtures.
How the world loves anything
new even a new wife has inexpress-
ible charms.
Well, that new trolley car walks
off with the entire bakery.
The Suburban promises more.
The jostled and bruised public will
greatly appreciate more of the
same kind.
Some people who have an artistic
mania for naming their cottages,
seem to lack all idea Of appropriate
ness. On the Shore Road one en-
counters, for instance, the Oaks
not an aok within gun shot Of
the name. The ''Pinesv is as much
in need Of pine or two about as
is a bald headed man of a wig. 50
other names of cottages are as de-
void in their surroundings of sug-
gestlveness of their names.
This naming Nof cottages and
farms is capital idea but might
be served up appropriately.

Napoleon's Finery.

Among the many curious museums
in which Paris is rich the one called
the Garde Meube has a unique inter-
est. A visit to it's galleries makes one
feel as if one had touched hands with
dead kings and queens. 1t is the most
interesting collection of its size in all
Europe.
The reason is that it contains a null
titude Of objects which were in per-
sonal use by the dead and gone rulers
of France-clOthing, toilet articles,
furniture and all sorts of personal be-
longings. There are more than thou
sand articles in the collection, most Of
them not only interesting but beauti-
full and costly as well.
All these things are arranged histor-
ically so that one sees together the
belongings of Louis XIV, of Louis XIV,
or Louis XVI. and Marie Antoinette, of
Napoleon, of Louis Philippe, of Napo-
leon III. and Empress Eugene, and fl
nally examples of furnishings used un-
der the present republic.
Not long ago the directors of the
museum decided to take an inventory
of it's treasures not a third of which are
on public exhibition. Many of them
have been boarded carefully-So care

ence of some of them had been forgot

This is q collection of materials in

1911 by Napoleon |. for the refurnish-
ing of the great chateau at Versailles,
Of Marie Antoinette.
Napoleon had been living in the
TrianOn across the park from the grand
chateau, but decided that he was
clamped there and that he would reign
at the huge palace in Il splendor not
second to that with which Louis XIV.
had filled it. So he sent orders to the
silk and velvet merchants of Lyons for
immense quantities Of costly fabrics for

The idea was trifle too late. The
war with Russia came soon, and the
