CARRY COSTLY VANITY CASES
Elegance of These Dainty Appoint
ments Are Limited Only by the
Depth Of Ones Purse.

For the woman who adores dainti-
ness in small belongings there are
cases which will consume whatever
pin money she has to spare. In the
loveliest enamels, surfacing gold or
silver, she may have-at price that
is just bit staggering-a vanity box
containing an enamel-franed mirror,
a powder puff, rouge receptacle and
one manicure implement. Encased in
the same enameled metals she may
have a purse fitted with compartments
for change coins of various denomi-
nations. And she may also have a
square fiat receptacle for visiting
cards and memorandum tablet. OF the
same size and shape, but slightly con-
vexed, is an enameled cigarette hold
er, and this, most luxurious looking
of all the cases, clasps with a jewel
which not infrequently is Of purest
water.
Moire-fnished gun is the very latest
metal devoted to vanity boxes, change
purses, card cases and cigarette hold
ers. But although their appearance Is
one of subdued elegance and ultra re-
finement, they have not the somber
look of plain gun, for the watery sur
face is in itself ornamental and all of
the trimmings, o-called-meaning the
edges, the hinges and the clasps, are
of polished silver. Moire-tinished gun
is the smart finish for bracelet watch
es and for sunshade handles, and 1t
makes stunning frame for the pho
tograph of an elderly person.

France In 1889,

In France, at the close of the eight
zenith century, the privileged classes
counted 100000 persons. OF these
100000 were mobiles; 1870 clergy of
about 10000 noble families; $4,000
monks, in $500 monasteries; $4,000
nuns in 1900 converts, and 10000
curates, Wears, etc. The soil of France
was divided as follows: One-fifth to
the crown, two-fifths to the people.
one-fifth to the mobiles and one-fifth
to the clergy. Deducting the public
land, one-half belonged to the privi-
legged classes, and all the taxes for
the support of the nation came from
the two-fifth belonging to the people.

EACH MAN OWNS STREET CAR
Public conveyances Are Not De-

Animals Unknown.

There are no horses or draft AMI

". Therefore all hauling is done py
hand The tiny tracks OF the unique
street car system run everywhere
any one would wish to go, branching
off even into private grounds and 10
the very front doors of bungalows far
out of town Each resident owns his
own street car, just as elsewhere a man
has his own carriage. There are, or
course, public cars also, each with its
pair of boys to push it, and also
number of rather decrepit rickshaws.
AS a natural corollary to the passen-
ger traffic, the freighting also is hand
led by the blacks on large, fiat trucks
with short guiding poles, These men
are quite naked save for a small loin
cloth; are beautifully shaped and
glisten all over from the perspiration
shining in the sun. So fine the tex
ture of their skins, the softness of
their color, so ripping the play OF
muscles, that this shining perspiratlon
is like beautiful polish They push
them behind, slowly and steadily and
patiently and unwaveringly, the most
tremendous loads of the heaviest
stuffs. When the hill becomes too
steep for them they turn their
backs against the truck, and by plac-
ing one foot behind the other, few
inches at time, they edge their bur-
den up the slope.-Stewart Edward
White, in Harper's Magazine.

SHOW CHARMING TEA GOWNS
Afternoon Costumes Are Becoming
More and More Attractive to the

saw charming model which had
been carried out in white chiffon. The
skirt was particularly pretty and
graceful, hanging in the softest of
straight folds. Just a pretty drapery
of chiffon was wound about the arm
and did duty for the sleeves of the
bodice, which was also of white chif-
fon. The striking feature of this gar
ment was the peplum of fine black
chantilly lace of an exquisitely grace
full design; it was attached to the
back of the left shoulder, and contin-
ued all round to the right side of the
front of the bodice. The lower part
Of the peplum was left without drap-
cry, so that it formed a tunic. An
other charming model was study of
deep orange and white; the founda-
ton dress in this case was of white
chiffon and quite transparent. Over
this was rich Grecian drapery of
deep orange-colored crepe de chine
which fell from the shoulder and was
continued across the bodice. The
front was carried out in artistic folds
almost to the hem; they were raised
halfway up the skirt at the back, and
were held in place by a buckle made
of orange crepe de Chicago

Z o'clock, the time for opening the
doors, until long after the last show
had started, there was a steady crush

was the singing of A. r. Smith. He
has a fine bass voice, and was com-
PEELED to respond to numerous en-
cores. The Empress has a seating ca
pacity of $50 people, and the seats
were filled the whole evening. The in
side of the house is pretty. N seats
are comfortable and the lighting eff

good. A new thing in moving pic

duced by the Empress. This is the
