UNCROWNED QUEEN OF
GREECE IS DEAD

Athens, Greece, Aug. % Sophie
Tricoupis, one of the most remark.
able women of modern Greece, Is
dead. She had been termed "The
Uncrowned Queen of Greece" an ap,
pellation fully warranted by the
facts, for it is doubtful If even the
Empress Eugene ever exercised SC
much direct control over the des-
TIMES of France as this woman did
over the fate of modern Greece.
She was daughter of Spyridon
Tricoupis, the first premier of free
Greece, and the sister of Harilaos
Tricoupis, who during the last quar-
ter OF the nineteenth century COM
pletely dominated Greek politics. AS
child she made the acquaintance
of Lord Byron, who was a familiar
friend in her fathers house and it
was her father who pronounced the
funeral address over the coffin of the
English poet. Her youth was
passed in London, where her father
was Greek minister, but on the en-
try of her brother into the political
arena, she returned to Athens and
took up her place at his side. Nor
did she ever leave him, remaining
she devoted her entire
time to aiding him in his political
work and in looking after his per-
sonal comfort.
A woman CT striking appearance
she was the more conspicuous by the
fact that she never changed the style
OF her clothing from the date of the
death of her father in 1873. She
retained even the early Victorian
fashion of doing her hair and in her
later years resembled nothing so
much as daguerreotype come to
life. The house which she and her
brother occupied was a very small
one but in spite of that some of the
most distinguished political figures
of the nineteenth century passed
through its drawing room. The
present emperor of Russia, Edward
VII and Queen Alexandria CT Eng
land, King Christian TX of Denmark
were only few of those who were
the guests of this remarkable
woman.
But her relations with the distin-
guished visitors to Greece we're
wholly political She had no social
ambitions and ordinary balls and So
cial gatherings of Athens never saw
her. She was not only the inspira-
tiOn but the active eo-worker of her
brother, and knew quite as much
about politics as did he and il was
frequently to Madam Sophie as
she was called that those who had
some political proposal to make ad-
dressed themselves rather than to
the minister himself. With the death
of her brother, however, she ceased
all political activity and retired to a
secluded life which she permitted
nothing to disturb. She was over
so years old when she died.

PAss-A.eRILLE cAUsEWAY
BEING AGlTATEo

St Petersburg, Aug. 2S-The Pass'
R-Grille causeway. with the necessary
draw bridge and approaches, can De
constructed at a cost of from s55'OOO
to 100000.
/, This statement was made this
morning by C. E. Burleson, chief en-
gineer of the st. Petersburg Invest
ment company, after having spent sew
eraI days in taking cross-section OF
the bay at the point of crossing. the
figures have not been checked, ana
may be subject to variations. They
may be accepted as a safe basic point
for the bridge program, however.
The figures used in the estimate
prepared by Mr.. Burleson contemplate
$40 feet of reinforced concrete slab
construction and TAO feet of trestle
support by pine encased in concrete
shell. The draw bridge and the ap-
proaches would be in addition to this.
No estimate of the cost of the draw
bridge can be made up at this time
by the engeering force of the Invest
ment company.
81 think the draw would be about
like the one at Indian Rocks" said
Mr. Burleson. Il am not sure, but
it is my recollection that this draw
cost approximately $4,000. Because
of the uncertainty as to the cost of the
draw, and until our figures are care
full checked, the estimate would have
to be Appropriated only l think it
is safe to say that the whole struc-
ture would cost not more than
$50, OO0."
1t is believed that the low figure for
the work will be an added boost for
the bridge construction. 1t will be
recalled that the st. Petersburg In
vestment company has stated that it
would cooperate in every way and
bear large portion of the cost of the
structure. The Investment company
will, it is stated, guarantee the cost !
of the structure on the basis of the
final figureos of its engineering de.
partment and will pay all in excess
Of that amount.
In the year 1915 the town of Pass
a-Grille and Long key paid total of
$4,314.3O into the county treasury. In
preceding years the total has been
near this figure. For 1916 the amount
paid into the county treasury will be
considerably in excess, and nearer
$4,000.
Advocate of the bridge to the island
have been hard at work on the de.
tails of the proposal, and the whole
hing will be laid before the county
commissioners at an early date. Sen.
-iment in this section of the county
Tor the bridge apparently is almost
solid, particularly in st. Petersburg.

Trsatment of Walls.

II q molding is liked from which to
hang the pictures that do so much to
make our rooms homelike, the best
height for the molding is in line with
the top Of the doors. The modern idea
seems to be to bring the window wood
work to the floor by using paneling
beneath the sal, and to carry the tops
OF doors and windows to q fixed line
the molding line. Thus the walls are
divided into rectangular spaces, and
the decorative effect Of good paper
is enhanced. A plain paper has the
dignity of . panel when 50 used.
