Women,

So Says Countess Of Lonsdale Of American
Women.
The Earl and Countess of Lonsdale
just returning from trip around the
world, stopped for time in New York
recently. The countess is as much
interested in America as her husband,
and joined the conversation when
asked what the women of the Eng
lish aristrocracy thought OF the duke
of Roxburgh's engagement to May
GOelet.
We are very glad to hear of it. -
she said. Miss Goelet is well
known and well liked.
The question of money is not
talked OF nearly as much in England
as it is in America. In fact, I think
that as rule the American girl is
much more anxious to get the title
than the Englishman is to get her
money.
The list of international marriages
will never be heightened much by the
union or English girls with American
men. Our girls will never have your
men, not because they do not like the
men SO much as because they do not
like the American life. The life of an
American woman of the upper class
is unnatural and useless compared to
the life of the wife of English aristo-
cracy. The American woman as
rule, live the life of q butterfly"

Wealth of the RothSchiIds.

The wealth Of the ROthschilds is a
fascinating theme for speculation, but
accuracy is difficult to arrive ut. The
fortunes Of the house, as Is we'll
known, were founded BY the Roth
schild who was the first In England to
obtain the news Of the battle Of Water
loo and profit by it on the stock ex-
change. The recent death in Paris Of
Baron Gustave recalls the first occa-
sion on which some idea could be OBJ
tained as to the wealth Of the firm
The brothers are partners. and the
bank has branches In London, Berlin.
Paris. Frankfort and Vienna. The
French branch was founded by Baron
James. who had four sons. OF these
only one, Edmond. outlived him. When
his first son, Solomon, died In 1864 he
left a widow and a daughter, Helen
When Helen married Baron van Zuy-
len de Nyevelt her share Of her fathers
fortune. which she brought with her
as dowry, was f14,OOO,SSO. Baron Sol
omon's fortune was double this
amount, and his three brothers and his
sister, who married Baron Nathaniel
Of London. had equal amounts. Thus
the total fortune Of the five In 1864 was
nearly f16O,OOO.OOO. As the four
branches of the family are equally
rich. its aggregate wealth at that time
must have been f64O.OOO, 900. and that

STREET GOWNS OF

Brilliant Effects Reserved For
One Piece House Gowns.

The woman who Is really smart in
her apparel and who dresses for cen
venience as well as for fashion now
adopts the one piece frock, with its
outer coat Of any material she chooses
and removes this In the dressing room
at public or private affair.
The insistence Of a certain class OF
women upon this kind Of costume for
the house has persuaded many womeL
to adopt 1t. AS soon as they have
found its convenience and as soon as
they realize In what good taste 1t Is
they see to 1t that they dress in this
manner for all like affairs.
And 1t is because Of this new turn In
affairs that women have gone back to
somber street colOrs for thefs coat
suits and INDUCED in the plumage Of
the peacock for their one piece frocks,
II they desired such cOloring. There
was a season not long ago when vivid
red serge and broadcloth suits were
not only worn on the street in the
morning, but carried into all social at
fairs under the roof during the after
noon.
Then there came a season Of bright
green suits and coats that flashed col
lars and cuffs Of brilliancy, but this
garishness has died down. aud today
women choose black. mottled gray,
raven blue and elephant gray for the
street. One rarely sees departure
from this rule Of four.
The one piece frock has done 1t. As
long as well dressed women decide that
the coat suit is not available for house
wear, then all desire for brilliant col
ors in it ceases. Therefore We have the
red satins, the coral Grape and the
Pompeiian chiffon for afternoon ano
evening wear only.

Combinations of colors and materials

are better leaders. In a blizzard the

erage twenty pounds Of food day for
a team Of eleven dogs. The dog Of
the mail teams consumed last y lr
three tons of bacon and one Of rice.
The rice and bacon are cooked tOgeth-
er with frozen fish and eaten hot. The
dogs are permitted to eat all they want.
When too hot they let 1t cool in the
snow. If near the sea or river they
will cunningly pull the vessel out on
the ice and test the temperature Of the
contents with their long tongues until
tho mess can be eaten without burning
