 "But these were merely the hypercrit- ical remarks of nterlopers In the charmed inner circles of society, Lady Constance Stewart Richardsons dancing was generally accepted as charming in the extreme and besides after paying the necessary expenses, a sum amounting to nearly $S.50 was realized for charitable purposes.

The Lady Constance who is a noted sportswoman and very daring as she proved was over here on a visit to some Of our leading dynastes and in the name of charity which, as the poet says, cov- CTS multitude of shins but hadn't un- covered any up to that time, she con- sented to oblige at a semi-private feet recital given at Sherry's, tickets $1O each, and no rain checks
 Just the mere announcement created sensation the like of which had not been known since the memorable year when MT Harry Lehr robbed a zoo to strengthen the intellectual pitch of a Newport dinner function. And, you can take it from me, there was notable assemblage of notabes present on the suspicious day when the Lady Constance came forth dressed in the costume worn by the Ancient Greeks during an An cient Greek hot spell, and tripped the light fantastic toe, some say ripped 1t and some say stubbed it; but anyhow she was there with the light fantastic toes, ten in number The performance started after several outsiders including newspaper photographers and chiropo- dist had been elected.

There was apparently disposition in some quarters to intimate that if they had not been the property of person of rank, the limbs in question might have belonged to hired girl without subject ing her to the Opportunities of theatrical managers looking for members of a beau ty chorus, while some surprise was caused by the feet seeming to fit on at right

for the discharge of engine smoke and gases from the tube.
 The ordinary course of such work is by the use of cutting shields proceed ing simultaneously from the portals and from the footings of the shafts. These shields are to be likened to steel rings of a circumference only slightly greater than that of the finished tunnel Men working on different levels of the shield with pick and with drill and dynamite constantly clear a path for 1t. where upon it is pressed forward. Tracks fol- low the cutting shield and more locomo- tives-steam or electric-are used In re- moving the material. The use of cleo trlcity keeps the tunnel quite clear of gases and makes the safest light for the workers.
 In rare cases the rock through which the tunnel is bored is strong enough to support itself. But in most cases the engineers prefer to line the bore-with brick as a rule-and this lining is set in place right in the path of the cut ting shield. After long weeks and per haps months of work the times comes when the different bores meet and the tupnnel is single underground tube from portal to portal

CLASSIFYING GRIEF.
Fashion Accomplishes With Note Paper
 What It Cannot With Eonnets.

From Topics of the Day in Providence
 Journal.
 We are so bound by conventonalty that even the visible expression of our great griefs has to be measured by the set rules of fashion, which change from time to time, like all fashions. A cur rent fashion note says that mourning note paper now has black borders in five widths, running in numbers from to 5."
 The extent of the supposed grief. as it is thus manifested for the benefit of the world, is not left in a haphazard manner to be guided by the inclination or the emotional impulse of the bereayed ones but the use of the note paper Is care fully specified for the various occasions. A widow, 1t is announced, uses No when she is in first mourning. At the end of a year she decreases the width to No. ?, and at the end of IS months she uses No. 1.
 The extreme width of black border, No. 5, 1t seems. is used only by widows. A parent who is in mourning uses No. 4 for three months, then No 3, and at the end of a year 4io 1. A son or a daugh ter in mourning for parent uses No. for the first six months. then No. 1 for the rest of the period of mourning. Sis ters and brothers do the same, only in- terpolating a six months use of No. in between No. and No. 1. Nieces. neph- ews and grandchildren also start off with No. 8. Apparently there are no specifica- tions for first cousins, or for those who might have been wives but consolingly and voluntarily assumed the fictitious re- lationship of sisters.
 There seems something peculiarly callous and cold -blooded about this formality of a notepaper division of grief into five grades and the fash ionable prescription of just what grade of grief shall be manifested for each relationship. Whatever the relation ship. grief varies too much to be de- finable by formal system of measure ment.
 Besides, the system here outlined seems to be radically wrong. Why should every widow be credited with a No. , grief when a parent who has lost an only child is only permitted to indulge in Grief No. 4? Unquestionably there are many widows who experience nothing deeper than a No. grief right at the beginning. and occasionally there is one who could scarcely be suspected of anything more profound than a 10 per cent solution of No.s1. On the other hand, it,is quite conceivable that man
