AMERICAN GIRLS AND TITLES.

From Boston comes the story that all the members of the Polish family of Radziwill are united in a campaign of insult against the American girl who was Dorothy Deacon before she married Prince Antoine Radziwill in London a couple of years ago.
 This is not infrequently the case where an American girl marries a titled European Yet there is no per- ceptiole falling off in the number of American women ready to take the risk
 But before we blame the women too greatly for marrying titles let us con- sider the impulse that pushes them into these alliances. Is it not the in st1nct for the decorative? Women are themselves the decorative half of hu- manity; they are if they do not have to work too hard greatly preoccupied with the decorative in art and life; 1t is idle to blame them for a principle that 1nheres in their natures; it would be ungratious to blame them for trait which in many of it's manifesto floEs makes the world more livable place; titles are decorative things and so the girls go after them
 But if it were possible for them to get the titles without being obliged to marry the men it would be the more satisfactory all around Why not ere ate some American titles strictly lim- ited to women and sell them for $1,- 100000 apiece? They wouldn't mean anything, but they would be decora- tive. Then if a girl wanted to be the Grand Dutch Measle of Kokomo Ind, or the Princess of School District No. 10, Range ,, Township 6, East of the Third Principal Meridian, she could buy the title and wear the badge If she still wanted European husband she might marry a Hungarian mule driver in her dads coal mine and live near home, where her father and big Brothers would be handy to lick any body that didn't treat her right

A distinct Iy ultra hat is one shown from Lam bert Bernheim, which from present in dications gives promise of being one of the best hats for Fall In shape this hat follows the line of the Con tinental, the top of which is of black hatter's plush, with a black velvet facing. A succession of rows of nar- row black soutache braid form the binding on the edge of the the brim. Directly in the front is shown new white feather fancy, finished off at the base with a plaited moire ribbon fan cy. Another chapeau of rather irreg- uiar outline is that of the Vassetin-- Vittetard.

WHAT TO DO AND HOW
How Variety Brightens Up the Table May Be Economical, Too
 Graceful Little Touches

It is strange that so few housekeep- CTS appreciate the value of the slight change in the daily menu. Not so much in the dishes themselves, but in the way they are offered.
 4 variation even in the cutting Of the bread will make this every day item of food assume 9 novel and attractive form, attested by it's consumption.
 This plan the wise housekeeper will soon discover meacns economy along other lines. If the bread in thin, slices, with crust cut off and in even squares or triangles, is eaten heartily, less meat and vegetables will be wanted. and a saving accordingly ob- tained.
 With butter, too, instead of placing on a plate a great chunk, little time is taken to roll individual balls, or print pats, the looks of the butter will prove more enticing and there will be much less waste than when the family can dab in at will, with the natural result of soiled left over sec tions, that can only be used for cook ing, if at all.
 The really "nice'' housewife doesn' t like the idea of going around scrap an unsanitary and offensive quality about this act that is antagonistic to the woman of dainty tastes
 Take radishes for example in this consideration of food treatme Their color alone is attractive. but they can be made even more pleasing to the eye by cutting down the outer skin in petal form, turning this under so that a wee rosebud shows with a heart of white and red jacket.
 Oranges with skin similarity sliced, and the sections spread out, look when placed on a small white dolly like pond lilies.
 When jelly is to be served the usual molds can be used, but if you want a more novel feature, serve the jelly in oranges whose lower section has been scooped of pulp, and the upper sec ton similarly handled. with a narrow strip to form the handle of the orange basket.

oUTWITTED A LION.
Clever Tactics of 9 Plucky and In-
 ge1lious African.

The little bushman of South Africa is not only small in size, but feeble in mind Yet there is on record an encounter between a bushman and a non Which shows the man as cool in danger and fertile in resource.
 This bushman, while long way rom his home, was met by lion. The animal, assured that he had his victim completely in his power, be- gan to sport and daily with him with a feline jocosity which the poor little Dushman failed to appreciate. The lion would appear at a point in the road and leap back again into the jun gle, to reappear a little farther on. 7 The bushman. however, did, not lose his presence of mind and presently hit upon device WherebyI he might out wit his foe. This plan was suggested by the lions own conduct
 Aware that the beast was ahead of him, the bushman lodged to the right, and, feeling prety sure of the lions whereabouts, resorted to the course of quietly watching his movements. <.
 When the lion discovered that the man had suddenly disappeared from the path he was a good deal perplex- ed. He roared with mortiflcation. Then he espied the bushman peeping at him over the grass.
 The bushman at once changed his position, while the lion stood irresolute in the path, following with his eye the shifting black man In another moment the little man rust1ed the reeds, vanished and showed himself al another point. sa.i a
 The great brute was first confused and then alarmed. It evidently began to dawn upon him that he had mis- taken the position of matters and that he was the hunted party
 The bushman, who clearly recognized the situation, did not pause to per- init the lion to recover his startled wits. He began to steal gradually to- ward the foe. who now, in com plete state of doubt and fear, turned tail and decamped, leaving the plucky and ingenious little bushman master of the situation.-Harper'

PENROSE WANTS TO SEE TEDDY'S
 CAMPAIGN FUND
SAYS THAT SOURCE OF SUPPLIES IN THIS CAMPAIGN SHOULD BE KNOWN AS WELL AS
 SOURCE IN 1904.

Washington, Aug. 2s-Senator Pen- rose yesterday carried his fight against Col Roosevelt and his Pro- gressive supporters in Pennsylvania much further than he did Wednesday, and took steps that seemed last night to promise immediate results.
 The most important of these, as far as it's effect on the Colonel's fortunes may go, seems to be a resolution, which will be adopted tomorrow, di- recting, the committee already inves- tigating the expenses of the last two campaigns to turn it's attention at once to the present campaign. That would bring to light the source of Col Roosevelts supplies, which, in spite of Senator La Follettes repeated challenges, have not so far been pub lished.
 Penrose's real object in offering his resolution was to summon before the Senate committee Col. Roosevelt him. self
 William Finn of Pittsburgh, a Roosevelt leader, almost certainly will be another witness, and it is MT. Penrose's purpose to have them sub- mitted to a grilling cross examination, first as to their funds and campaign promises in Pennsylvania, and then as to the general underground support of the Progressive Party.
 SAY PENROSE HAS THE PROOF
 Mr. Penrose hinted vaguely at his purpose on the floor early in the day when he first gave notice of his res olution, and his definite purpose came out later On the floorane said:
 II desire now to make motion that the statements made by me yesterday be referred to the sub- committee of the Committee on Privileges and Elec- tions, in which I believe the junior Senator from Minnesota (Mr Clapp) is chairman, for their consideration and investigation at the earliest date practicable; and that they shall be empowered to send for the persons mentioned by me in my statement of yesterday and such other witnesses as they may desire to call and find available. I ask that this motion lie on the table until later in the day.

the National Capital aggregation by the
close score of to 3, and the result being
in doubt until the last man was out.

a grounder to Boyle.
Gallaudet presented a crippled team on
the field, several star regulars limping pitt
fully from old injuries, and had to give
way to substitute base runners on mutual
consent by Capt Boyle of the home team.
A number of would-be hits on slow rollers
were turned into put-Outs on account OF
the limpy running by the injured visitors.

The feature furnished by Gallaudet was
Rollers brilliant work, both at bat and
second base, he making three clean hits
out of four times at bat and accepting
every chance a la Lajoie. The heady.
deliberately cool boxwork of Capt. Brick
was also in evidence, the veteran pitcher
keeping the victors' hits well scattered.
Barry had a busy day at the initial
sack for the Irvngton nine, accepting
twenty-five chances, thanks to Morri-
settles saliva delivery. CitranO was the
fielding hero of the home team.
Gallaudet had fine chance to tie the
score in the eighth round when Rasmus-
sen tripled to deep center, but was run
down by Hubbard between the third base
and home plate through poor coaching
after Batiste grounded out, Boyle to Bar

turned into a many-handed double play.
