London, June 15.-(special)-Ten days hence the King and Queen go to Cardiff to lay the foundation stone of the Welsh National Museum and later to visit Caer- philly and Llandan catherdral. There will be Welsh speeches, Welsh dishes and Welsh singing and her majesty will take part in Welsh dance. Only a few peo- He have been invited to join the royal party but society will flock to the prin- cipality on her own account to enjoy the fine mountain scenery at the only time of the year when Wales is at all bearable and to take in the fun of which there will be plenty.

siamese Clothes

From the Washington Post.
 In Siam both men and women wear the "panung." which is described as a piece of silk or cotton cloth wound around the hips, the slack being rolled up, passed between the legs and hitched up behind in such a way as to give the appearance of pair of loose knicker- lockers. For waist coverings the wo- men wear jackets. or blouses. and the men wear coats

And now, a great change Is com ing over the New World. It is coming back to the beliefs without which prog iess Is unreal, untenable and civilization cankered at its roots.
 Under the character note bill which has strong support from labor members, any employer who refuses to give "charac- ter" to leaving employees, or to make false statements in it, is liable to a s12o fine. The bill says nothing as to the penalty of the loafer who refuses to take his character.
 A good deal of attention is being paid to slang words lately Somebody wants to know now what socks means. The explanation once got was that "it's what your wife gives you when you stay out too late at night Now if you drop the final "s." and leave it just sock" am told that it is the Etonian word for tuck" or food-to wit, the tuck shop of our public schools.

 The Duchess of Marlborough, Lady Mount Stephen, Lady Leconheld, Lady Talbot and Mrs. Harcourt are making quite a success of the Victoria league parties to welcome visitors from across the water.

 A member of the Japanese mission here tells a pathetic story of Masayo, the loveliest of the geishas of Tokio who re- gently committed suicide. ft Masayo has a sister, Oharu, almost as beautiful as herself. Both loved the actor, Matagiro, although neither was aware of the heart of the other. Matagro, it seems, divided his time and fealty be- tween the two girls By accident. one day. Masayo found her false lover sit ting at the feet of her sister in an at titude which revealed the truth. She pro- cured a bottle of cyanide of potassium drank the contents, and died after much agony. Her last act was to pen an ap- peal to Matagro to be true to Oharn Another geisha, just 16 years of age, slew herself with the sword of her lover dur. ing Masayos funeral. She was so deeply attached to the most beautiful woman in Japan that she could not bear to live without her companionship.
 Sometimes attempts to economize do not result in economy One of our young duchesses has just found this out for her self. She was very much provoked when host of tradesmen threatened suit for unpaid bills, the existence of which she had never dreamt of.
 Following a custom which is very gem eral here in houses where large estab- lishments are maintained, she put her staff of servants on board wages. As is usual in such cases, the servants appoint ed one of their number as caterer or table manager. The footman so chosen ran up bills wherever he could get credit and decamped leaving close upon a thousand tradesmen clamoring for their money, Of course, the duchess was not legally liable, but to avoid scandal she paid and reorganized her household. The servants problem is growing more and more veXatious in England. It is now next door to impossible to get good ser wants without putting up with all sorts of petty annoyances.
 Madame Melba is to sing Yum-Yum in presentation of the ''MiSado" to be given for one of Queen Alexandras many charities.

If you will study for a year you may be able to sing in my "Mikadoi" Out in Melbourne she was a pianist. She certainly did sing, but it is perhaps truth tui to say that 1t was not until the wife or the then Governor of Victoria observed that some day she would give up tha plano for singing. and become famous that she began to arrange for serious vocal study.

Summer shoes are becoming closer and closer akin to the sandal. And the san dal itself. is more popular this year at the seaside resorts than ever before The first foot coverings were sandals. After. these came shoes left open at the toes then the wooden shoes of the ninth and tenth centuries. followed little later by shoes with long pointed and turned-up toes, which sometimes reached as high as the knee. Later a shoe was worn with an exceedingly wide toe so very wide that It impeded the process of walking queen Mary restricted the wearing of this by proclamation. The proclamation ran to the effect that shoes should not be worn wider than six inches
 Her majesty is a firm believer in all children being taught to dance so soon as they are of a suitable age. not only for sake of the art itself, but on account of the beneficial effect that she considers it has upon their health and carriage. Prin- cess Mary IS quite sSillful waltzer as are the Prince of Wales and Prince AL bert. Even little Prince John is now to receive his first lessons in dancing. Chill drens balls, therefore, at Buckingham palace and Windsor castle are likely to be rather frequent in the future The Queen. however, realizes the importance of boys and girls not overtirng them selves on these occasions and she con sders that none of these balls should last for more than a couple of hours or so at the outside She is herself still very fond of a waltz. though this is really the only modern dance that appeals to her

 Does it not seem odd that thrifty women are so often of the nagging sort? Is it because money-loving must always in- fluence the disposition towards hardness But then. one may be thrifty from far better reasons than mere love of money Perhaps it is in just the dinerence of mo- tive that the solution lies. Hoardng and scraping for ones children should not harden the heart of the hoarder and craper But does it never? However. there must be far more selfshness and consequent hardeLeig in reckless ex- travagance than there can possibly be in thrift. If I wanted. for any reason, to pick out the hardest-hearted woman in the world. should at once look for one who had dragged her husband into an abyss of debt by the extravaganza of years.
