this year killed its next-door neighbor-

used to be the pet OF fashion, has been
abandoned to the humble bourgeois,

Apart from its casino and hotels, Deau-
vile has little in itself to draw a crowd
with the exception of its race course
and Its polo ground. Its beach is bare
and sad, its streets sordid. and the local
shops are merely offshoots of Partisan

The furniture of the four small cot

Children Taught Languages.
The idea of the Queen is to teach the
young princesses to learn the manage
ment of the house. The children invite
each other by turn and the crown prince
always is required to escort the visiting
party. The inviting princess receives the
visitors and entertains them at tea.
Only two governesses look after the
royal children when on vacation, as the
tutors are dismissed during the summer.
The only lessons they take are in
foreign languages, and even these are
impaired in a most practical way. A

ENGLISH DICTATORS OF
DRESS ARE EXULTING
Men Demanding New Modes, TaiIors
Devise New Cloth Shot
with Gold.

Special Cable to The Washington Herald.
London, Aug. 16.-Suits shot with gold
and cloths made OF blended colors are
amongst the new fashions for men for
next fall.
West End tailors say the most popular
suit will be of blue cloth shot with gray
and gold. London society men seem to
be demanding more variety and dainty
materials in their wearing apparel now.
Sackville Street tailors are preparing
for big rush for these blended blue
suitings.
Overcoats, too, are being revolutionized.
The new fashion is blue, shaped to the
waist, single-breasted and buttoned
through with only two buttons.
Silk hats are becoming more popular.
New models have shorter crowns and
hatter set brims. The reason for the
increasing popularity is that the crown
is only five and. three-quarter inches high,
and is less "bell-topped."
These hats have been selling at the
rate of fifty day by one Bond Street
dealer for weeks.

ITALIAN LAKE PLAYS
AT HIDE AND SEEK
Waters Disappear and Cary Fish with
Them, Then Return as Un-
expectedly.

Rome, Aug. 16-1talian scientists and
expert photographers are again puzzled
by the sudden disappearance of the
waters of Lake Canterno. not far from
Rome, while the population of the dis
trict is in mortal fear of some imminent
catastrophe.
The lake has been playing hide and
seek with the villagers from time i'm
memorial. The records show that every
twenty years the waters recede through
n large hole in the middle of the lake
bed. Where the waters go constitutes the
mystery which has so far baffled the
scientists. The fish disappear and return
with the water.
According to a local legend. the water
disappears every time an accident hap
pens in the neighborhood of the lake. Two
boys were drowned there recently.

London, Aug. 16.-Again the rumor
Is current in London that Princess Pa
tricia of Connaught is engaged to the
hereditary Grand Duke of Mecklen-
berg -Strelitz, although no announce
ment has been made. Although the
young duke has returned to Germany,
he has promised TO return in October
at the time of the marriage of Prince
Arthur of Connaught and the Duchess
of Fife.
The young duke is said to have won
Princess Pats" heart by his good
looks, his good manners, and his high
Intelligence. Certainly no one could
be harder to please than the popular
cousin of King George.
The grand duke is well known In the
smart section of the American colony.
He recently attended the dances of the
Duchess Of Manchester. Lady Naylor
Leyland, Mrs. Astor. and Mrs. Francis
A. Leggett. He created most favor
able impression at these functions.
One strong reason to credit the re-
ported engagement Is the young dukes
friendship with Queen Mary. with
whom he waltzed constantly at the
court and ducal balls. Princess Pa
tricia has always been regarded as the
flower of the English princesses.
Should this royal young couple mar
ry, IT IL not improbable that they would
pay a visit to New York soon after the
Duke OF Connaaght resumes his posi-
ton in Canada. The princess, who is
not a stranger In New York, is said
TO be anxious to pay another visit to
the American metronolts-

Of ST. Peters. also the anniversary OF
his coronation. were observed at the
Vatican this week In . much Quieter
way than In former years, when the
Pope was in better health and his ac-
tivity as a reformer was at its zenith.
This year the change which the rapal
court has been undergoing ever since
Plus X was elected has become very
noticeable.
To say that the old conservative
Roman element of the court, the papal
nobility, and a large army of Vatican
offceholders are mourning the days Of
yore, and that deep dissatisfaction exists
among the curia prelates is to state only
part Of the truth.
Mourn Vanished splendor.
Prelates who reached the highest rank
in the church under Leo Ill make some
sad reflections over the change and the
passing Of the splendor of the court.
One Of the traits of the Pope's charac-
ter, which has endeared him to exalted
and humble alike, Is the extreme SIM
plicity of his life and his abhorrence of
gorgeous ceremonies when not intended
to do honor to God, but naturally this
policy, although strongly supported by
the clergy at large. has found few SYM
pathizers among those connected with
the court.
The press, still devoted to the memory
OF the great Pope, has been drawing
some sharp comparisons between the
way the anniversaries used TO be cele-

London. Aug. 16.-Lady Cunard. who
was Miss Maude Burke, of New York,
has gone to her country place, "Nevil
Holt" Leicestershire, to take a rest,
after one of the most strenuous sea-
sons of her career.
This clever American woman Is now
crowned with the laurel wreath of vic
tory so far as the musical world of
London is concerned. She is now So
ciety's musical arbiter here. She has
wrested this distinction from the Mar
chioness of Ripon, who has been the
adviser of Covent Garden.
Lady Cunard arranged the Russian
opera season at Drury Lane, and the
Russians triumphed over the Royal
Opera, even though ii was supple
mented by Caruso. Melba. and Des-
tim. Lady Ripon was powerless to op-
pose the sway Of Lady Cunard and the
Russians.
The former allies of the marchioness
are now rallying to her support, and
next season there will be a real clash
of arms.
Although the mother OF a grown
girl, Lady Cunard Is marvelously
youthful, with slight figure and the
vivacity of a school girl. Lady Ripon
is of another type-tall, superb, and
Roman. One wonders how she will
fare in her attempt to check the sway
of the American woman over the mu-
,sical affairs of London.

DECLARES AMERICA
FACES FOOD FAMINE

Colorado Springs, Colo, Sept. e-"To
avoid famine, America must begin at
once to conserve her food supply"
This was the somewhat startling state
ment of W. T. Sedgwick, professor OF
| biology and public health. Massachu-
sets Institute Of Technology. before the
American Public Health Association, in
convention her today.
Dr. Sedgwick said that II it were not
for three great scientific inventions,
cheap transportation, the art of can
ming. and cold storage, the cost of
wholesome food would be far greater
than it is.
What do We see?" said DR.. Sedgwick.
"A population already vast, and increas-
ing by leaps and bounds; a virgin soil
largely ravished and already showing
signs of exhaustion; timber lands mostly
depleted; wild animals and game almost
exterminated; exports OF foodstuffs di-
minishing; fisheries, and especially shell
fisheries, showing ominous symptoms of
coming failure; and everywhere outcries
and complaints of the high cost Of nv-
ing"
President Rudolph Herring, Of the
American Public Health Association, in
his address, said that he believed the
public health affairs OF the United States
should be delegated to an independent
department presided over by a Cabinet
officer.
