planes. and. lastly, the Secretary of
State for War. as commander Of the
Hampshire Yeomanry, will take part in
the operations as a combatant officer
Originally the maneuver scheme, which
is a modification OF the plan for the
abandoned operations of last year. pro-
jected a landing on the east coast. but
although one force will represent an in
vading enemy, there will be no actual
landing.
The cycling battalions to be employed
are the Sixth Suffolk, Sixth Essex.
Eighth Hampshire, Fifth Yorkshire,
Seventh Devon. Seventh Welsh, and the
Twenty-fifth County of London from
Putney. Each and all of these win
cycle from their headquarters to the
maneuver area, a journey which. in the
case OF the Welsh regiment will occupy
FIVE days. The ride and the subsequent
operations will furnish some test OF the
usefulness of cyclists in masses on ac-
tive service.
The Royal Flying Corps, too. will un-
dergo its first trial under service condi-
tions. The two dirigibles Beta and
Gamma, will be allotted one to either
force, while the aeroplane squadron3 will
be equally divided between the two.
The nearness OF the maneuver area to
London, the presence Of the King, and
the trial Of the aerial scouts will prob
ably draw large crowds to Cambridge
and its environs, and with this prospect
in view the military regulations concern
ing traffic and sight-seers will be even
more stringent than in former years.

Prefect Of Paris Police Gives Per-
mission to Only Those Ahlict.
ed With Hirsute Appendage.

Paris. Aug. l7.-women In France. as.
in fact, is the case In many other coun-
tries, are not allowed to wear male at
tire. A law prohibits 1t. but on certain
occasions even the law has its excep-
tions.
Nine Dieuiafoy, the wife OF we'll
known Partisan, IL the only woman who
has the right to wear the clothes of the
sterner sex. but to do so she has to OBJ
tain a special authorization to that ef-
feet from the Prefect of Police.
Some one has had the curiosity to in
quire at the prefecture on what grounds
such permission can be given. The police
officials were. very reticent on the point.
but they admitted at last that there was
only one reason which was uniformly
valid. and that was II the woman had a
beard.
Any application stating that the appli-
cant wishes to wear male attire because
she is troubled with a beard is at once
granted.
But when was the last application Of
this kind made?" the official who gave
the information was asked.
Not in my lifetime" was the answer.
But the rule holds still. 1t is one Of
the regulations of the prefecture. Any
woman who can grow beard has a
right to wear coulotte."

AMERICAN WOMEN
CREATE SENSATION
Mrs. Ogden Mills, Mrs. William
Guggenheim and Mrs. Frank ].
Gould Startle French.

Trouville, Aug. 1.-THE three sensa-
tions of Grand Prix week at Deauyille,
outside of the publication of Sens book
of caricatures. were created by Ameri-
can women-Mrs. Ogden Mills, with her
hoop skirt; Mrs. William GuggenheIm.
with her fan. and Mrs. Frank J. Gould,
with her pearls.
Mrs Mills is step-daughter of
William K. Vanderbilt. She appeared at
Deauville Casino in a dress which caused
CONSERVATION and shocked the good taste
Of the most fashionable and elegantly
gowned gathering ever assembled at any
resort.
Mrs. Mills costume was Of white satin,
over which hung the tunic effect of
black net, heavily embroidered with a
heavy design in silver. But the startling
part Of the dress was the hoop which
held the tunic out fully five inches from
the skirt all around. This made an
effect OF hoop overskirt reaching TO
just above the knees.
As soon as Mrs. Mills entered the
casino she was followed everywhere by
a curious throng, who when they were
not commenting adversely upon the taste
of woman who would dare to wear
such monstrosity, were ridiculing
her.
Mrs. Guggenhelm was almost a like
sensation by displaying a fan of black
lace on tortoise shell, in the center of
which was an artistic monogram five
inches square, made entirely of small
diamonds mounted in platinum fiIigree
work so nearly perfect that the fan
folded as readily as If entirely made of
lace.
Then came Mrs. Gould's pearls to
crown the sensations of the morning.
Mrs. Gould had four ropes of immense
pearls the size of cherries. draped about
her bodice and on her neck.

friends and admirers will be sorry TO

Indeed, malicious scandal-mongers whis-

Berlin. Aug. 1.-THE widely circulated
rumors that the crown princes semi

FRANCE EXPELS
CROOKED GAMBLERS
Two Men, Said to Be Americans,
Caught in Act of Fixing
Roulette Wheels.

Paris, Aug. IA decree of expulsion
has just been issued against a couple
OF ingenious gentlemen said to be
friends entered the shop of a maker OF
gambling apparatus and offered TO buy
his business. The offer being refused
they ordered a $500 roulette table which
was delivered on June - The mer-
chant, in the meantime. had been max
ing inquiries about his curious clients
and learned that one OF them had been
gaining large sums at the roulette table
In Italy. His suspicious were confirmed
when one of his employees told him of
conversation with the two friends
In which the following proposal was
made to him: Whenever you have
roulette TO dehver at a gaming house,
bring it quietly to us. We shah keep
1t an hour OF two, and then you can
take it to its destination. In return We
will make you an allowance OF $50 a
month, and $40 for each roulette"
The merchant, who had been further
struck by the fact that the roulette
ordered had been thrice brought back
by its purchasers for certain readjust-
menTs, informed the police, and the
chief of the department which deals
with gaming. having examined the fa-
nous roulette, pronounced it faxed.
From the proposal made to the employe
1t seems probable that the two swindlers
intended to substitute faxed rouettes
for those OF the maker. Learning where
their doctored machines had been set
up, they could obviously have played
with the certainty of winning. Hence
forward France will offer no field for
their talents.

with his wife and mother law. Prin-
cess Henry Of Battenberg. The reason
for the King sudden departure, 1t IS
whispered, was his inability to remain

Princess Henry does not approve OF
certain traits of Alfonso's character and
does not hesitate to express her opinion
in the dictatorial manner she acquired
from long association with Queen Victo-
ria in the latter's old age. Alfonso has
always resented her reproaches and at
tempts to make him a better boy. This
is not the first time there has been fric-
ton between the pair, the King having
previously taken refuge aboard his yacht

GERMAN STUDENTS
ARE MOSTTHOROUGH
Interesting Methods Learned by
American Teachers While
Abroad.

Berlin. Aug. 1L-Three hundred and
fifty American teachers are American
izing Berlin This week, Prof. H. II.
Flick, of Cincinnati. president of the
German-American Teachers Association.
under whose auspices the teachers are
travelling in Germany, is enthusiastic
over the reception of the party every
where in the Fatherland. The majority
of the party will sail on the Grosser
kurfurst on August q. Prof Flick said
Everywhere our German hosts gave
us a magnificent welcome All halls
were decorated with the American COL
ors. On the banks of the Rhine enthu-
siastic crowds waved hearty greetings
and cannon fired salutes. In some of
the cities hundreds of school children
welcomed the visitors. The children
We're all dressed in white and wore rose
wreaths. In other cities, practically
the whole population turned out to greet
us.
THE party has learned much from
the investigation of German educational
methods and conditions, and We realize
that German education must be our
model in discipline, thoroughness, and
concentration. The tests of German
boys and girls revealed that their learn
ing covers a far wider field than the
American system. All remembered last
years work, which cannot be said OF
American children. Concentration and
attention were everywhere noticeable in
the German schools"
Prof Flick believes the Prussian sys-
tenn of insuring a retired teacher at
least 50 per cent of the entire salary
and sometimes so per cent is very recon-
mendabIe, as 1t qualities discrepancies in
the German pay roll, tends to keep
teachers in the profession and develops
higher type of instructors.

teachers were DIR. Busse. of New York,

the charm of the small hat and white
lace veil that nearly every traveller
wears.
The white veil is a most wonderful
thing at this time of the year and covers
a multitude of sins. for 1t throws white
light on faces that are, perhaps, too
sunburnt or even freckled and throws
into relief only the red lips. Then, II
YOU are unfortunate enough to have an
ugly mouth you can always arrange 1t
so that the design Of the lace covers
the corners and leaves nothing but a
perfect rosebud visible. 1t takes an un-
commonly plain woman not to look
beautiful behind such veil. The only
pity is that disillusion is sure to come
soon, for etiquette does not allow you to
wear them with a bathing suit or even

you appear veiled before lunch or even
