LONDON, March 21-An ideal bar,
where the barmaids will all wear flow
ing green draperies and the drinks will
be all of the temperance variety in as
sorted art shades, will be feature of
the simple life exhibition, which is to
be held at the Caxton hall in April.
The decorations will be in cool green
and all the light will be shaded in
green.
Mrs. Schofie1d, who is arranging the
exhibition, talking about the ideal bar
and also the ideal barmaid, said:
They will all be under 20 years of
age. In such a bar as this it will be
possible to have young girls, and in
stead of the uncomfortable high stools
we shall have cozy lounges, where
man, when he has bought his drink,
can sit and enjoy it in comfort.
There will be no alcoholic drinks.
Instead of having a whisky and soda,
a man will order a pineapple and soda,
and he will find it just as refreshing"
And here Mrs. Schofield had COM
pliment for Americans.
There are lot of nice fruit bever-

DANCE SAYS GIRL

PARIS, March 21.-It must not be
thought that Adoree Villany, who was
fined $7.20 for her dancing in scanty
costume at Munich and received a sum-
peated the performance here, prefers
to dance in the nude for the sake of
advertising. Her personal conception
of the ideal dance is lofty. She says:
THE dance is the triumph of the hui
man body. 1t is the physiology of psy-
chology and nothing should destroy it.
The body should not be weighed down
or ensheathed Art is free, and any
shackle to it's transport hinders the
realization of the true photographic
artists ideal
Il thought that at Paris, the capital
of the world, all artistic efforts would
be welcomed with impartiality. If
am to be judged, let me be taken be-
fore a tribunal over which NJ Rodin,
the sculptor, will preside.
Il admit the nude body of the dancer
may for few seconds be the target of
every opera glass, but afterward the
mind will be forced to occupy itself
with the dance alone, as that is the
only interesting thing. When | re-
move my chemise to enter the stage it
is only to lay bare my SOUL"

what to the discontinue of the rest of
the gathering, but much to the delight
of Chief Forester Ruhm, who.soon pei
ceived that the prince came on the
chance of meeting his pretty daughter
Marie.
Now the banns have been published
and Marie Ruhm will wed in the
spring.
Prince August, as the head of the
house, raised no objection and it is
reported will endeavor to get Emperor
Williams consent to legalize Marie
Ruhm as a princess in order that her
children may maintain titles.
Prince Eberwyn's married life, it is
asserted, has been very unhappy, and
gossips declare that the fault is not
on the princes side. The girl had lit
tie or no dowry, while for her sake the
prince renowned all claim to the rich
Bentheim property and title. Now his
wife, who was Fraulein Buckeswagen,
demands $4,000 to release the prince.
Old Prince Bentheim has maintained
Prince Eberwyn and his five-year-old
daughter, who will live with the Bent
helms, but her father has arranged to
take ranch in California after the di-
vorce with young American friend.

This condition still exists, but It seems

This does not mean that prices are
not higher than they were. Washington

country In tbs respect What the report

IN spite of the increased. cost, prices of
