David Belasco a Cat Fancier.

Apropos of David Belasco's extraor- dinary love of cats, it is interesting to know that his private library contains the largest collection of works on the subject of cats that is to be found out side the British museum. There is ab- solutely no book dealing with these fas- cinating little animals which Mir. Be- lasco does not number among his treas ures and many of them represent not only small fortunes in themselves, but are so rare and curious that travelling schol- ars and bibliophiles, both of this country and of Europe, frequently beg for the privilege of seeing them Naturally, then, MT. Belasco is fond of cat stories. fn- deed, to the great manager-dranatist- producer a good cat story is as eagerly to be listened to as a good fish story.
 Monk" Lewis told the poet. Shelley, of gentleman who. one midnight, went to visit boon companion living on the out skirts of forest in East Germany He lost his path, and, after wardering about in the darkness for some time, his eyes beheld at last a light streaming from the Looking in, he saw 8 procession of Black cats lowering into the grave a small coffin with a crown upon it. The sight filled him with horror and, spurrtng his horse. he rode away as fast as he could, never stopping until he reached his desti- nation. which was several hours after midnight. His friend was anxiously awaiting him, and the bekated guest re- lated his strange adventure, at tho con- clusion of which tale q cat that lay sleep- ing by the fire sprang to it's feet, cried out: '"rhen I am the King of Catsi'' and disappeared up the chimney.

to show you" continued she. -It is as you will see in royal blue and gold. and is a very noteworthy example of the conventional style. While here I have some plates, the designs of which are near to natures heart-the cluster of roses, being as life-like as though they had just been plucked."
 T suppose the happy medium might be reached by a combination" said l.
 Exactly, and that Is one of my special ties,' said Miss Moseley arising and going over to a nearby table, from which she brought half dozen beauti- full plates.
 You will notfce," she explained, that have combined the naturalistc and conventional design in these plates. The roses are distinct from the border, which is conventional, and I think the oombina- tion makes very pretty design. I call this the semi-conventional, and you have no idea the demand I have for that sort of work" 1
 And Is your time confined exclusive ly to china painting and water colorsT' I asked.
 T am doing a great deal of fooled leather" replied Miss Moseley. ''It is very fashionable and I have made some beautiful book holders writing pads, pocketbooks. bags, belts and, in fact, nearly everything you can think of in that line.'

A Special Wrinkle of 1910.

Tt goes from temple to temple and it is unbearable," said the pretty woman. C.,
 "What?" asked the masseuse. '-Is 1t neuralgia or a pain in the optio nerve, or simply an o1d-fashioned headach e7"
 Its a wrinkle" said the customer, taking off her hat and lifting her hair from her forehead, Its a wrinkle. and a deep wrinkle"
 Deep it was. The masseuse looked at it and shook her head.
 T can cure it." said she, but 1t Is going to take time and you must help me.
 We'll" said the masseuse. "I must ask you to begin with work of the ina gination.
 Your case is one of at least a thousand. yet 1t is quite new this year. and 1t can be traced to the wearing of the tall fur tooue. This piece of headgear is heavy. and it presses down upon the forehead and makes lines.

"The Subconscious Self"

The Rev. Henry A. stimson, D. D.. in the
 Forum.
 This "subconscious self Is compara- lively . new discovery. or invention, but brave things are said of him. We have had ''Dr. Jskyl and MT. Hyds." without being able to say which was the real man. In the new dual parsonage we are not left in doubt. The new creation Is furnished with all the virtues. The friends of the 'Emmanuel Movement" tell us that the "subconsoious mind is purer more sensitive to good and evil than the conscious" and Prof. William James, in his recent excursion into the realm of religious experience, where he has made so great a stir, would have us know that he inclines to the same opin- ion.
 It is a comfort to know that the ex- perts attribute to us all virtue of which we ourselves have little knowledge, and locate 1t in that part of us where, if 1t is not entirely removed from temptation we at least escape responsibility for it's possible overthrow. We had supposed before this that when a man was sum moned to resist the devil and his works, it was task cut out for one in the full possession of his faculties, or for which the hopes of success lay in the ex- tent to which he possessed conscious mastery of his known powers. The mys- 'tery, as when Bunyan's Pilgrim found that he had to pass through the Valley of Apollyon, lay in the realm of evil. But now it appears that a mans hopes of a successful contest with evil must lie chiefly in his mysterious "other self" over which he has little command. and of which he knows less.

air of the living room, lack of sunlight and the presence Of poisonous gas are frequent detriments, to which usually are added lack of care and attention. E
 There are many places in a house wheres it Is desirable to have the decorative effect of a plant but where conditions are especially bad-such as dark halls. corners and stairways. Failure may be overcome to some extent by resolving to give intelligent care to your plants and selecting varieties suitable for these places. says a writer in the Brooklyn Eagle.
 Care in watering will be found to be a great help in maintaining the health of the plans. Never water until 1t is needed. then use water enough to wet the soil thoroughly. This rule should be followed whether the soil shows need of water once day or once in two weeks
 Towering plants require more care and better conditions, but there ara many that do well in ordinary living rooms Bulbs, such as hyacinths, tulips, nar-8 cissus can be obtained which flower bril- liantly in pots. Geraniums, pofnsettias, primroses and cyclamens are very sats- isfactory

where do you find place to have them mounted?" I asked.
 "The bag am now using I sent to Chi cago and had 1t done, ana I think it is rather neat" said she, as she showed me large, handsome bag in the tan shades which she had done herself and which was very unique and attractive.

 And you must see my kiln for firing" she concluded, as we went into an ad- joining room, where big, roaring fire. in a great stoye-loolxing arrangement. greeted us, and in which bits of chine were being quietly roasted, or baked, whatever the term may be.
 This process sometimes must be gone over three times." said Miss Moseley, ''although frequently twice is sufficient to fire many articles"
 I was so interested in the process and all the pretty things Miss Moseley had on exhibition that I was really sorry when the dusk reminded me that I was far from home and must say "Goodby."

Tall Girls or Short Ones.

whether girl be giant in height or a small person scarcely four feet high, her lover will always call her sslittle.' It is his pet name for her.
 He may be short himself but his sweetheart is always little to him, some one to pet and fuss over; and just as most girls dream of tall man as their lover, so does man think of some dear little girl as his sweetheart.
 He is oftep as much disappointed as is a girl who, liking tall men, falls in love with a very short one; the man whose admiration usually osntsrs around slight. short girls win often be head over heels in love with tall, big girl who consid- erably topa him.

 It's a most fascinating little limp something like Q sing1e-foot gait-and 1t is made necessary by the new-or. rather. the revival of the old polonaise. or apron skirts. It's being practicsd on Fifth ave- nue.

 Incidentally. the gown helps one to ac- quire the limp. It's hard not to limp when. after having a waist line that huct- uated from the armpits to the knees. ono suddenly acquires two waist lines-one, strangely enough, at the waist, and the other somcwhers between the knees and the ankles.
 For that's what the polonaise gown does. It kind of sways in at the waist semi-ntted, that's it--and then ambles gracefully downward until 1t is suddenly clutched and choked just above the

The Eighth "Lady" Paget.

It Is not often that one comes across a title borne by mother and daughter alike. both of recent creation. There is, how ever, notable instance in the case of Lady Paget, who for 50 many years was better known as Mrs, Arthur Paget, and her daughter. who married her cousin, then Mir. Ralph Paget. just two years ago. now, by her husband being the re- cipient of birthday honors last May, also has become Lady Paget
 This now makes the eighth Lady Pa get" without any distinctive pseudonym. when not nertionsd in conjunction with the husbands name, and the third in the Angiesey branch of the Paget family.

Hats and Veils.

An important detail in the adjustment of the veil says a writer on that &C., cessory, is the secure attachment of the hat to the hair. Large hats especially arc apt to slip backward or to one side, and this often throws the veil so much out of line that unsightly wrinkles are the re- suit. The wise woman puts on her hat and veil few minutes before leaving the house. She will then have opportunity to see whether anything about her headgear needs correction. Most women do not use enough hatpins. One or two of the very long, fancy pins are thrust through hat and hair, and no wonder the big hat careens to one side. Several pins of the short. strong kind are needed. and they should be carefully inserted

You have not described or clas- sified smell when you have said that it Is horrid and you are just as wide of the mark when you have said another smell is lovely.
