the only penalty which they have power
to inhict upon him for the hours wasted
In boredom. At other times the host has
provided an entertainment to keep his
guests from sneaking away Immediately
after satisfying their material needs.
The other day. for instance, a gar
den party was given by the Duchess Of
pondeauville in her palace in Rue de
Varenne. They say "the duchess" for
here nobody ever thinks of mentioning
any name but that Of the hostess. When
French married lady mentions her
home. she never says. for instance: We
have taken apartments" or I'VE live In
the Rue de Varenne." but simply. II
have taken apartments" or II live" or
Il give a garden party"
But TO come back to the duchess gar

to an open-air theater built in the beau

into spasms as she sang her songs, which
were certainly the most risque ! ever

SOCIETY ADOPTS
BEER AS BEVERAGE
London Drinks It Now Instead of
Wine, Due to Brewers
Popularity.

London, July T.-For the shrst time in
the history Of court functions beer has
appeared on the refreshment tables in
addition to the usual champaign cup,
claret cup, tea, and coffee
At mammoth garden party given at
Windsor Castle elegant cut glass jugs
were found to contain an excellent light
beer. At first it was thought that this
was intended as a delicate compliment to
the labor members in the House of Com
mons. but society women drank it with
relish.
Both beer and cider have become the
fashion this season, and the King has
just laid down in the cellars of Bucking-
ham Palace a large stock of Devonshire
cider. 1t is an everyday occurrence at
the Ritz-Carlton and other hotels, also
at private luncheon parties to see a dain-
ty jug of silver filed with light beer. In
fact. beer is now rapidly taking the place
Of wine in popularity at lunches. This
new fashion owes much to the heads of
the great brewing concerns, such as Lord
1yeagh, who always has old beer Of won
derful quality on his table.

Milan. July N.-There was a big inter

here in expectation of the trial of the
pseudo Monsignor John Baptist Gindri
who has acquired notoriety all over Eu-

Roman Catholic clergy, monasteries and

In France the pseudo monsignor had

SINGERS SLAUGHTER
HOST TO CHILDREN
Lydia Lipowska Gives Outing to
Three Hundred of Slum
Districts.

London, July N.-Some 800 poor children
Of London, drawn largely from the rag
ged schools, were the guests of Nine.
Lydia Lipowska, the Covent Garden
prima donna, at a party in the Zoologi-
cal Gardens.
The occasion was to mark the birthday
OF the singers little daughter, Adriande,
pretty child in white and blue. who, as
she ran lightly here and there IN attend
ance upon her wide-eyed and grimy-faced
companions, looked like a fairy who had
lost her way In a land OF goblins.
Nine Lipowska said that her daugh-
ters birthday was usually celebrated In
this fashion, only that at former ami
versaries the little guests had been pick
ed from the poor OF St. Petersburg.
Those comedians Of the great geological
company, the monkeys, were responsible
for most OF the childish laughter during
the tour made OF the Gardens by Adri-
adne's enchanted friends from the slums,
but the little ones seemed to be greatly
tickled by the pranks OF the Australian
emu. which. as Bret Harte wrote in a
memorable ballad, ''Trots all around with
its head on the ground. Then erects 1t

something more than great was evinced

ed the voracity of the tiger and the dex-
terity OF the diving bird.
When the good things of the tea table
had been slowed away in 800 appreciative
stomachs, and God Bless the Prince
of Wales had been sung as a tribute
to the day, Mime. Llpowska and her lit
tie daughter presented each guest with
a souvenir of the occasion in the form OF

The prize giving was watched and
cheered by several hundreds OF visitors,

Berlin, July 27.-There are enough mar
riageable princesses in Europe to-day to
compose a beauty show. and there are
enough imperial. royal and grand ducal
aspirants who would make desirable
husbands for these same princesses to
form a company of a Kings regiment.
But 1t is not so easy nowadays to
marry of these princesses to these young
men. 1t used to be enough for Chan
celIor or Foreign Minister to advise a
monarch:
.'The marriage Of your charming daugh-
ter to the son of such and such a King
will cement the union OF the two ma
tons"
Then there was a perfunctory betrothal
and, presto! the monarch's charming
daughter and the Kings son were mar
ried.
Not so nowadays: the princess is ex-
hibiting the independent spirit Of the
day; and, like any daughter Of the peo-
pie, is declaring that she will marry the
man Of her heart or no man.
One Of these independent young ladies
Is the Grand Duchess Olga, the seven
teen-year-old daughter Of the Gar.
Pleaded a Previous Engagement.
When the two Caesars, the Car and
the Kaiser. met a few days ago in Fin
nish waters, II was reported in every
capital Of Europe that a match would
be arranged between this young lady
and Prince Edalbert, the Kaiser's third
son. who is twenty-eigh> years old.
Prince Adalbert accompanied his i'm
perial father on the yacht Hohenzol-
lern to meet the Gar. Such an al
lance would be OF immense political i'm
portance. 1t would strengthen the bonds
between the two great empires: France,
Russia's present ally, would regard it as
most omjuous.
But the Kaiser's purpose was not solely
political. Prince Adalbert, like SO many
young sailormen. has a rowing fancy. but
It has turned rather steadfastly toward
a pretty actress. To end this infatuation
his father has determined to send the
Prince with the German squadron which
visited New York recently. But the Ger
man Emperor. who has become a great
matchmaker. changed his mind. and took
Prince Adalbert with him TO the Baltic
Port.
That much has been made public, but
1t has not been told that an insepara BILE
obstacle stood in the way Of the union
between the Hohenzollern and Roman
offs. The Gar. whose whisper is law

On descending at Portsmouth the COM
mander sent back news Of his arrival to
Eastchurch by wireless. He still had
enough fuel and oil for another 200 miles
without replenishing. The naval authori-
ties consider that this flight is Of extreme
importance as showing the enormous
capabilities Of the new machines.
