Fine Clothes Help Spanish King
to Keep Throne.
Monarch Believed to Spend More
Money on Wardrobe Than Any
Ruler Except Gar of Russia
Wears Startling Vests.

London---The king of Spain Is the
most deliberately attired monarch in
Europe.

arch has ever been seen more than
half dozen times in the same suit,
and it is certain that there are many
suits in which he has been seen but
once or twice.
lar tweed or cloth he will often order
q dozen suits from it straightway and
wear each but two or three times. Ii
he tires of the material before he has
worn the whole dozen he will have
the lot put out of the royal wardrobe.
It would be difficult to say how many
suits of clothes the King of Spain or
ders in the year.
The number greatly varies. Some
times King Alfonso will order as
many as a couple of dozen suits at a
time, while at other times he will give
his tailor, or rather one of them, for
he patronizes several, an order for but
pne or two suits.
The king of Spain keeps from 100
TO $50 suits in the royal wardrobes

q year.
His majesty's bill to his tailor alone
averages $4,000 a year. of which sum

LAcEs OF ALL DESCRIPTIONS
Color Has Wisely Been Left Largely
to the Taste of the In
dvidual.

A compromise can be made with q
narrow ruching placed above a nat
turnover collar and the erect is good'
but it is the wide double ruching that
frequent ugliness lies. Fortunately
it is quite as fashionable to wear a
loose lace frill that half rolls away
from the neck and is caught above the
bust with flicker of ribbon.
There is an admirable way Of opens
ing the blouse in front, running It 10
deep point, outlining it with two
inches of lace that falls backward over
a ribbon of black taffetA or colored
velvet; and in the open space leII
there is a fiat band of lace crossed Wen
nm toward the neck and drawn softly
down under the blouse. This is a
good scheme for any woman whose
chest is thin and who does not wish

neck exposed
1t is a good idea to remember tha'
a fat collar at the back or the neck

different kinds of frills and ribbons
and laces at the neck If they VIII only

Gradual Increase in Breaking of Law
Among Younger Males Also Shown
by Statistics.

New York.-That married men are
better than single ones is the most
remarkable feature of report of an
investigation made by the district at
torney's office which has just been
made public. Out of the 1851 men
convicted last year only 784 were
married, as compared to zoos who
were unmarried. The one startling
exception is in the case of suicide,
the report showing that among men
who attempt to take their own lives
the married outnumber the single
three to one.
A comparison for the last nine years
gives 1870 convictions of married men
for all sorts of crimes and 1906 con-
victions of unmarried men. The re-
port indicates that there is a gradual
increase in crime among young men,
the male criminals under the age
of thirty years having increased In
number from LOO in 1904 TO 1900 IN
1912. During the last year many Of
tenders were between the years OF M
teen and twenty.
Assault charges now show 40 I'M
der twenty years and Ga from twenty
to thirty years; third-degree bur-
glary, 213 for the younger period and
2O5 for the older; grand larceny In
the second degree, 184 criminals IN
der twenty years. and 25S from TWEEN
ty to thirty; petit larceny, 157 under
twenty and 144 from twenty to thirty
years; unlawful entry, 81 under TWEEN
ty years and % from twenty to thir-
ty years The total shows GAO under
twenty convicted last year, and LIFTS
from twenty to thirty. Only 4O4
offenders from thirty to forty years
were convicted.
The statistics for wome. prisoners
show that two-thirds of the wom-
en- brought to court were under thir-
ty years.

Empire Gown of Fine Linen.

ard as this modern vogue of silken I'M
der raiment. Woman has taken up
the fad with enthusiasm, and, once &C
customed to the luxury and comfort of
suken garments next the skin, almost
any woman will economic to the last
penny in other wearables rather than
reLinQuish her silk lingerie
Crepe de chine is the favored mater
ial and pure white the favored color,
though faint pink and palest blue
crepe de chine garments of this type
are worn by women who go in for COT
or scheme fads in lingerie. Some of
the underwear is very plain, with no
further punishment than a picot edge
Of lace; other models are deliberately
trimmed with lace insertions and
landings, even little silk and chiffon
roses finding place in the trimming.
One very fetching robe du mutt in
mind at the moment is of crepe de
chine with a daep yoke and sleeves of
shadow lace laid over flesh tinted
null. and the yoke is joined to the
crepe de chine gown under strip of
lace insertion, on which is sewed q
festoon of tiny pink rosebuds.
In contrast to this cOquettish sleep
ing robe is a nun-like little nightgown
of white crepe de chine, rounded out
girlishly at the throat and trimmed
with a narrow picot edge of real Irish
Race. The short sleeves are also edged
with che line of Irish picot and the
neck is drawn up on white ribbon
But the cut of this simple little night
gown is especially graceful, for the
garment clings, without any effect OF
tightness. to the ankles and feet.
Another variety OF silken sleeping
wear is the feminine night shirt, an In
novation of this season, and just now
more the fad than feminine pajamas,
which have become too ordinary and
universally accepted now to have an
attraction for women seeking sensa-
tional effects. The feminine night shirt
is patterned exactly after the mascu-
line one, slit at the side seams, narrow
collar, long sleeve and all. These gar
ments are made Of China silk, with
narrow trimmings of futurist ribbon,
initiating the braid trimming on

Lace Butterfly on Hats.

The butterfly is the pet ornament Of
the hat Of the moment. Gigantic in
size, it is made of tulle or lace or vel
vet; also in white feathers resembling
grebe, and Is invariably finished by
very tall antennae. On a toque made
Of pink and gray ribbon folded across
the crown and finished in two large
loops at the back, there is black but
terfiy in front, made of similar lace to
that which is drawn tightly round the
upturned brim.
A novelty to be seen is a Tuscan
straw hat trimmed with small straw
berries with their leaves and bios
SONS. A little bunch of the berries
falls over the hair under the brim or

LIFE IS RESTORED
Electrical Device Used in Effort
to Save Hero.
Mans Heart Beats For Two Hours,
After Being Pronounced Dead
From Drowning, by Use of
instrument.

New York.-For two hours after he
had been declared dead from drowning
the young wife and other relatives OF
Edgar Manic watched spellbound
around him at Babylon, L. l., as DR..
D. w Wynkoop. slowly brought him
back to life, forcing his heart to beat
with an electrical device. For long it
was believed the young man would be
saved, but suddenly respiration ceased
and could not again be restored.
Monjo, who was only twenty, was
son of Lewis Monjo, a retired export
broker, well known on Wall street.
and son-in-law of Commodore Searle
of the Babylon Yacht club. With his
wife he was spending the holiday at
her parents home and went bathing
with his little niece, Susan Searle.
A few minutes after they had start
ed the child burst, sobbing, into the
Searle house, crying Uncle is drown

cell her story it was evident that
Monjo rave his life to save hers.
The two had waded out into the
river hand-in-hand. Apparently they
had stepped Unexpectedly into deep
hole or off ledge of ground. Mon1o,
realizing that he could not swim, had
with last desperate effort thrown
his niece back into the shallow, safe
water as he himself went under,
Dr. Wynkoop, a local physician, was
summoned He got two short lengths
of wire and placed one at the base OF
Monjo's tongue and the other against
his diaphragm and connected the free
ends with an electrode. MonJo had
been pronounced dead more than two
hours when Dr. Wynkoop began his
treatment.
An hour after the electrical ma
chine was set in operation the aweo
spectators started back in astonish-
ment. There were signs of returning
life. First came a scarcely perceptible
movement of the heart. Then slowly
that organ resumed its functions and
respiration was restored.
For two hours the heart beat regu-
larly and respiration continued. Inc
Young wife hung over her husband
praying that he might be restored to
her and waiting for the return of con-
seriousness. But consciousness did not
return and suddenly both respiration
and heart stopped and could not be
re-started
DR.. Wynkoop said he was greatly
grieved his efforts had failed. 1t was

had been applied to human being

London tailors get good share. There
is one London tailor who, when the
king of Spain was the guest of the
duke of Westminster at Elton hall
some little while ago, took an order
from the Spanish monarch for 4O
suits.
The tailor was asked by wire to go
to the dukes residence, and returned
to London with the largest single or
der he ever received in his pocket.
There is no monarch who is so pune
tilious about being dressed in the ex-
treme of fashion as his Spanish maj
esty. Any suit the cut of which has
become in the least out of date Is at
once put out of the royal wardrobe.
though it may only have been worn by
the king once, or possibly not worn
at all. The king of Spain has not
any particular fancy for any material
(except perhaps striped flannel for
summer wear) so far as the pattern
goes. He appears equally often IN
light and dark clothes of different pat
forms Int he never wears heavy ma
terial OF any sort.
His majesty has particular liking
for fancy waistcoats He buys doz-
ems of them and pays from SIS to $50
apiece for them In waistcoats alone
he spends at least $1,000 year.

cess Ena he had in his wardrobe some
waistcoats of rather more remarkable
pattern than was possible even for a
monarch to wear, in England at all
events, without being thought to vio-
late good taste.
Clearly hint had to be given to the
young monarch on the matter, and his
royal host, the late King Edward. with
characteristic tact, thought of the best
way of doing this without offending
the royal guest. The Princess Ena was
instructed to say something on the
subject to King Alfonso, and there
after his majesty was never seen in a
fancy waistcoat except of the most
correct pattern according to English
notions.
The king of Spain, like all very we'll
dressed men, is extremely particular
about having ties that harmonic cor
rectly with his clothes. He purchases
about 100 ties in the year, which cost
him from SIS to $40 each, and buys
most of them in Paris.
On shirts the Spanish monarch
spends about the same as he does on
ties.
His polo shirts cost him SIS apiece
and are made of the finest silk, and
he puts dozen of them out of the
royal wardrobe every season.
King Alfonso changes his collar and
shirt three times a day, and rarely
wears a shirt that has been Numbered
more than three or four times.

no Keep MATTRESSES clean.

Mattresses become soiled very easy.
A good way to keep them clean is to
get unbleached cloth, the cheap kind
is just as good and not so heavy to
wash. Make case just large enough
to fit the mattress, so it cannot
wrinkle.
Sew it across the head, leaving the
foot open. Slip it on and draw il
down smooth, and just sew it here and
there to hold it in place. When it be
comes soiled take it off, wash, iron
and replace Cool, clean and sweet.

Cold Potatoes.

In summer we will find 1t very con-
venient to have cold boiled potatoes
for use in potato salad or for frying
for breakfast or lunch or for creamed
potatoes.
We now find bacon and eggs so
agreeable and also so easy to cook
with little heating of the house that
we can easily dispose of the cold
potatoes by frying in bacon fat. This
will save using of meat while giving
a good tendency to balance the lighter
diet so desirable in hot weather.

they should select and5 second, the quantity they
should to produce natural results at any season
of the year.
The foods most conducive to obesity carbo-
hydrates (starches and sugars), gelatinods albu-
menods and the soluble forms of proteids.
The carbohydrates starch foods, might be
grouped follows: All bread and cereal products,
potatoes bananas, chestnuts and dried beans. The
sweets sugar, honey, syrup dates figs, rasins,
and all desserts containing sugar The gelatinoids

sues, from which the commercial gelatins made.
The most soluble proteds milk, eggs and gelatin.
While the above-named articles are all conducive
to the production of fat in the body it mean
that they should be totally eliminated but rather that
the quantity should be reduced the actual needs of
the body.
As an example: The old method of treating dia-
belts to omit starch and sugar entirely; modern
science has shown this method of treatment to be
incorrect. The normal body needs a certain amount
of starch and sugar and to withhold these entirely
is merely swinging the pendulum of reform to the
other extreme, which is just incorporate as over
eating.
The primary OF overweight Is usually too
much meat and too much starch, which Is nearly al
ways followed by copious water drinking with meals
Meat alone will not produce surplus fat. Meat be-
ing a heterogeneous compound it is used by the body
for building up the tissue and cells while the sarches
