the dressmakers ask for their dresses!
Numbers of women want to know
where to buy their dresses, and when
they know how much they will nave

On who dress well. They will not
snand more than they can afford on
dress and everyone will agree they
are quite right. =
As to the time spent on dress, It IS
dit5icult to pass an opinion on such
matter but one thing is certain, and
that is that some women DO not spenu
enough. One woman, high up IN the
educational world, realized not SO very

and made them see how important it
is for woman to have a pleasing ap-
pearance, even, though she may have
all the learning of the sages.
Then there is another plea for wom-
en- who spend time and money on their
clothes. They keep endless industries
alive by what appear to many people
to. be extravaganza, and the only thing
with which to reproach them is that
they so often accept hideous fashions
from the dressmakers when their
sense of the fitness of things should
make them refuse to look at anything
which does not express beauty and
usefulness combined

Although Ava. Willing Astor has

land, and has announced her intention
of rearing her daughter Muriel abroad.
no intimation has come as to when she
will start back to London
Society is waiting impatiently for
this announcement, as from it fair

Will Mrs. Ava Willing Astor try to
resume her place in society here and
become the recognized feminine head
Of the Aston family?

the complicated Astor family situation
is considered out Of the question dur

but private speculation upon it is rife

carriage which has distinguished
him always. With his same old

who was the grim Spanish command

built the 'trocha," drove within his
lines the hordes of starving Cuban
reconcentrados," and was largely re-
sponsible, in the minds of many, for
the Spanish-American war.
He makes the statement in the fifth
volume of his book, "My Command in
Cuba" which has just been published
In Madrid. 1t is the last of the Sc
ries Of volumes, the four previous
ones having followed each other at in

Butt at the presidents chief military
aid was chosen from the medical
branch of the army service. He is
az years old and unmarried, like all
his predecessors. Serving as the pres
dents aid Is one Of the most exacting
occupations known, and for that rea-
son a bachelor is invariably given the
post.
Until recently Major Rhoads served
on the medical staff Of the Walter
Reed General hospital, near Bright
wood. a suburb of Washington city,
His duties there naturally kept him
from mingling much in the social life
of the capital and restricted the range
of his acquaintance. But that restric-
tion has now been removed, and
Major Rhoads is making friends rap
idIy. He has always been well liked
in army circles. He is somewhat old
