WEDDING RECEPTIONS.
Some Favor Ante-Nuptial Party as Sub
Stitute.

It gems quite possible that the recep-
| ton after a religious ceremony at one
of the fashionable churches will i'll time
cease to figure as "a social function in
England. 1t is becoming Increasing ~
! the fashion for the brides mother to
have an afternoon or evening party on
| the day before the wedding. at which
the presents are displayed in all their
glory and then on the wedding day it
self to restrict invitations to the house
| after the service to immediate friends
and relatives only.
This has been the plan adopted at sew
eral recent London weddings. From
what one hears it may be very general
! ly intimated, so that in time the once in
dispensable wedding reception may be-
come as obsolete as the wedding break
| fast of the Victorian era, when all mar
riage ceremonies in church were bound
| by law to be concluded before noon.
[ do not think any of us would regret
very deeply the disappearance of the
aforesaid wedding reception. Three
O'Clock in the afternoon is not an hour
in which anyone is feeling much inclined
do. moreover, for the hour is too early
for tea. too late for luncheon, while the
only refuge for the notwithstanding at
and appraising the wedding presentS-is
generally rendered nugatory by the fact
| that everyone else wishes to do exactly
the same Cnlng at Lne same moment.
Most Of us in consequence-certainly
such as are of the male sex-generally
stayed about five minutes and then fed
precipitately; whereas under the new az
rangement of a party the day before
any hostess is at liberty to choose her
own hour for showing off her daughters
presents, and as this would probably be
either at tea time or after dinner we
should all feel great deal more So
ciably inclined than two or three hours
earlier.
All things considered, therefore. if this
new fashion does take on, it will really
conduce to the happiness of many. and
it will be no bad thing either to divide
the sacred and secular parts of the we'd
ding festivities more decidedly than they
are at present.-The London Gentle
M0man

lid is carefully drawn back until the
snake protrudes his head, and is then

less to strike. but is meantime making
things particularly lively with the por-
tons of his anatomy inside the box,

it would smash it, his rattles keeping up

LENGTH OF SKIRTS.
No Fixed Rule in Regard to 1t This
Year.

AS for skirt length this season there
is 10 rule TO govern; but it is pity, for
some of the avowedly best models are
cut at extremely ugly lengths. Take for
example, skirts which are instep length
in front, longer by good : inches ut
either side, varying from there only l
inch, or , at most, the rest Of the way
around. Could anything be more awk-
ward? Almost as ungraceful is the skirt
that clears the instep and then abruptly
slopes toward the back to Il pointed train
Of exaggerated length.
The proper length of IA skirt. since so
much latitude is allowed in the matter, is
dependent upon the individual, but that
which is most generally attractive has
the front touching the floor or barely
escaping it, and then slopes to train
or, say. inches Where Il long train is
desirable, as frequently seen upon the
skirt of Il formal gown, it should not be
too tiaring at the sides. However, many
OF the new old models require the round
sweep TO complete the effect of the pic
turesque that is characteristic Of the
model from which it was taken. I'm
doubtedly this, with other features,
seems more emphatically odd after a
long regime of unbrOken lines.
A suggestion. representative of the
newest mode, without being in the least
aggressive, Is TO be found III certain
creation by an American dressmaker.
The material is henrietta de sole, and
the general effect is that of a princess.
Deep pointed pannierS are indicated by
landings of the cloth all over braided,
and there is a square cut train Which is
comparatively narrow for the kind. Over
the shoulders OF the plain bodice, form
ing square decOlletage, there extends
from the narrow folded silk girdle Il
width of the material. These ScarfS-
which they virtually are-meet and even
overlap each other in the back under
meath a belt, and one of them is con-
tinued over the skirt nearly to the hem.
At this point it is turned up and, gath
cred. is caught to the point of one of the
panniers outlined by the braided band
ing. 1t is an especially interesting de-
sign in that. aside from being so typical
of present modes. it offers a satisfactory
method Of transforming one of last sea-
sons frocks into what is obviously up to
the moment.
Whoever chooses names for new
weaves and thread combinations that
make their appearance each season is
wise in his generation. What, for ex-
ample, could be more alluring than satin
''ravissant." crepe "chameuse," or crepe
.'sultane?' Doesn't all the sartorial de-
sire in the world dwell in the sound ?
And in all Of these. as well as in half a
dozen others of their species. the design
is TO give that quaint. old time sugges-
ton which combined with touch of
garniture, brings back the favor of a

Origin of a Phrase.

The effort of Rev. DIR. John Clark Hill
of Springfield, O.. to discover the origin
of the famous phrase upon which he
preached a sermon recently resulted in
the discovery that the sentence. I'm
from Missouri. you'll have to show me-
originated in the publishing house of a
Springfield agricultural paper.
About fourteen years ago there was
working there a printer by the name of
Sam McIlhenny. who hailed from Mis-
souri,. and who did not hesitate to say
So He talked about it so much that ii
cot to be a joke among the printers. One
day letter came from a Missouri farm
or complaining vociferously that his pa
per had been cut off. In concluding he
said: You folks may think it's all right
to stop the paper l paid for. but I'm
from Missouri: you've got to show me. y
The circulation man who read the let
ter thought it was pretty good and took
it ND to show McIlhenny and the other
printers. 1t soon became a byword
among them and for many months was
a phrase on everybody's lips.
One day a tourist blew in and he
astonished everybody by springing the
much used sentence.
Where did you hear that" queried the
astonished McIlhenny.
.'Oh. | first heard it in Cleveland. from
Harry Wines" he said. ''and he's been
using it all over the east"
Wines was tramp printer of the most
typical sort. He hailed originally from
Springfield. worked there part of the
time and set type all over the United
States.

A SAD PRINCESS.
Eulalia Says "It's a Bore to Be the
Daughter of a Queen"

Its bore to be the daughter Of
queen, exclaimed Infanta Eulalia
frankly at ali informal gathering of
Latin quarter friends this week in the
studio of Eugene Paul Ullman, an
American painter who has acquired fame
in Paris
Il like to meet people without cere-
mony. the princess continued, Ito be on
a footing of perfect equality, making true
friends irrespective of rank. | admire
men and women of talent, which l re
gard as true royalty. | want people to
forget that | am a queens daughter.
Nothing wearies me more than formal
receptions, at which each person is pre-
scented TO me and feels called upon TO
kiss my hand and salute me because l
happen to be Of royal BIRTH
lnfanta Eulalia met the Ullmans in a
manner that we'll illustrates how demo-
cratic and bohemian she has become. Mr..
and Mrs. Ullman were occupying Il small
cottage near the seashore last summer.
One day smart trap drove up to the
door. Mrs. Ullman was giving her chill
dren a bath in the one large room which
served as a living room. There were no
apologies, but Mrs. Ullman, not the least
embarrassed, laughed and begged the
caller to enter.
I'm Miss Gillette" said the visitor.
1ILiLlttt IAululids " no Is NISltluS at q
villa near here, heard that you and your
husband are Americans and she always
wishes to meet Americans wherever she
goes, SO she asked me to come here and
invite you over for tea"
Mr.. and Mrs. Ullman went. When
lnfanta Eulalia returned the call, she
saw some of Mr.. Ullman's pictures, was
Fascinated, and Il friendship ensued
which has continued. Now the Ullmans
are back in Paris. Miss Gillette, whose
home is on Il farm near Decatur, ILL.,, is
the constant companion of Eulalia. They
are now planning a tour together.
Eulalia's husband. the Duke of Gal
liera, from whom she separated years
ago, is also in Paris. where he lives with
his affinity" a middle-class French
woman. Eulalia herself told some friends
about this strange attachment
Isn't it pitiful?' she said. My poor
husband seems to have forgotten his
royal training entirely. He cares no
more for courts or luxury. | am told
that it is not unusual to see him trudg-
ing upstairs to his apartment with
bottle Of wine which he has bought at
the corner and is taking home like any
French peasant"
Particularly since Infanta Eulalia Wis
tied America. when she crossed the At
lantic to attend the worlds fair at Chi
cagO to represent Spanish royalty, has
she manifested an especial fOndneSS for
the society of Americans. Frequently
she attends informal entertainments Civ

The Suns Vapors.

'sChromosphere'' is the name given to
a LAYER of incandescent vapors in the
sun. developing the entire photosphere.
Its depth varies at different times and in
different parts, and ranges from G0OO to
5000 miles. The chromosphere consists
chiefly of hydrogen and an element
known as heium, while heavier vapors,
such as those of iron calcium. titanit1m,
magnesium. etc, are sometimes project
ed into it from the photosphere. The
so-called .-prominences'' are due TO pro
iections of hydrogen that are shot up TO
enormous attitudes. with yeiocities ey-
ceeding 149 miles per second. The name
chromosphere is given to this solar en-
yelope on account of its beautiful rosy
hue. It is visible only during the total
eclipses of the sun or by the aid of the
spectroscope and is said to have been
first noticed by Father Sacchi during an
eclipSe.

A TEXAS PIANIST.
Houston Girl Scores Great Success il
Berlin


Berlin.
Helena Lewyn, Texas girl. is one of
the latest of the American Invaders" to
make an impress on nusic-loving Ger
many. After four years of study in Ber-
lin, experimenting her work since child
hood at her home. she made her profess
sional debut and scored a distinct sue
cess, which she has accumulated since. by
her concerts SO favorable were the
criticisms that she has been offered a
number of professional engagements in
Europe, which would occupy three years
but she has declined them to accept an
invitation from Prof. Damrosch to play
in New York at his spring festival next
April. She has been the pupil of GodOW-
ski and has studied composition under
Stillman Kelly, an American who has
added to his reputation by his work in
this country. After her first appearance
on the public stage in Berlin she gave,
by request, last fall concerts at HON
burg, Baden-Baden and Bad-Nauheim.
at each of which she was enthusiaStical-
" received. Her concert in Berlin at the
end of last month attracted much atten-
ton from the masters, and they declared
that the brilliant promise of her early
wears is being we'll fulfilled. She has a
repertoire of extraordinary length and
variety, considering her yOuth-She is IN
her tWenties-and few women students
have had the reception that has been &C
corded her Her technique has been pro
nounced almost fawless. her execution
brilliant and sentimental. The young
woman is from Houston, where her fami
ly lives. Her concerts have been attend
ed by many of the American colonies
here and elsewhere in Germany. and they
felt a pride in the newest success of their
compatriot. Miss Lewyn is a typical
western girl in size and strength. which
is of no small aid in the rendition OF
some of the heavy, more difficult move
ments of the old composers.
