DIR. Cochrane de Alencar. the Bra
lillian ambassador, who is among the
genial and helpful bachelors of high
official society. was listening the other
day to a lady racking her brain to
discover some novel method with
which to extract stray dollars from
much harassed circle of friends.
which she needed for a worthy cause.
The ambassador said that good idea
b very valuable and that the finest
church in Rio stands as witness to the
commercial qualities which it may
contain. There was, says the diplo-
mat, q very devout cook. who some
hundred years ago served King 1oao.
and in return for signal blessings
vowed to erect a fine church right in

Now, the cook. though employed by
royalty, was not prepared to build a
great church out of his own means.
nor had he the influence to approach
the moneyed class in the usual way.
So, through a number of couriers. he
made ii known throughout the city
that whoever would contribute GER

prepared in the kings kitchen and in
every way fit to be set before the

known as the Sacramento Church
arose in the very spot where 1t now

one can think of something absolutely
appealing to the general public and
offer 1t in return for financial assist
ance. the realization of any scheme is
possible.

Napoleon Bonaparte. Since the death
of Nine. Bonaparte, her mother, the
visits Of the countess to this country
have been rare. and she will come
to Washington only for a day or so,
though she will remain on this side
all through the autumn. The Jerry

Observation-Disclosures of that celebrated
but. unfortunate Miss Patterson of
Baltimore who married Jerome Bona

Mrs. Charles Bonaparte remembers
this indomitable woman quite WELL
for she lived to great old age and
made frequent visits to her grand
the home which they still occupy in
the Long Green valley. She be-
oueathed to her grandson's wife some
rare and lovely laces and some ex-
ouisite jewelry. but which must go
