, Queen Alexandra. ' The closest examination of the ca reer of Queea Alexandra, from the day that she took her place as Princess of Wales, will triumphantly demonstrate that she was never . guilty of a single breach of tact and good taste, and that her life has tees uniformly that of an exemplary wife, mother and leader of society. Newcastle Dally Chronicle. ' '""W p The Exuberant Coiffures. ' Never have heads been so much dressed, never has hair been In such demand and the art of dressing It been of such importance. Frosted orchids and gardenias from which , spring clusters of floating feather fronds, which sweep away to the back of the head, are highly popular hair ornaments in Paris, although there Is also a fancy there for little flat bunches of ribbon work flowers car ried out in the palest tones and laid agalrst the waves of the hair Instead of being placet upright. Another dainty trifle for decorating the coif fure is the loose pleat of silver ribbon which is draped toward the fore head something like a fillet, but Is caught on each side with a tiny clus ter of violets and silver leaves, little silver tassels falling like earrings trom the cluster. New York Press. . Women Ride Astride. ' --. The long riding habit for women Is now a back number despite the ' horror openly expressed by persons of puritanical Ideas a few years ago who derided the then unusual c'uptom ''of riding astride. .Women who 'ride in breeches can be seen in numbers every morning and evening on the bridle path la Central Park,' and the custom of riding astride is more poj ular than ever before. A leading rlifc Jng academy which some months ago refused to teach women ' to ;'"ride astride and stood out for the side saddle was forced to shut up Bhop. The owners found that by sticking to their resolve they were simply help ing other riding schools. The wom en have gone a step further than the man's saddle. Many have discarded the divided skirt in favor of riding breeches almost a fac-simile of those worn by men, piste! pockets includ ed. The women riders also wear mannish coats and derby hats. .. In deed, it's a difficult matter to tell who's who on horseback in Central Park these days. New York Corre spondence of the Pittsburg Dispatch. Cool, But Clem-1 ' An Iron hoop bounced through the area railings of a suburban lady's f house recently and played havoc with the kitchen window. The lady wait ed, anger In her heart, and a fighting light in her eye, for the apearance of the hoop's owner. Presently be came. ' "Please, I've broken your winder, ma'am tia oat1 ttnA n n f.tltAi l uiu u i.j , lit, duiU) .uu c w o lamv menil It " And sure enough, he was followed by a stolid looking workman, who at once started work, while the small boy took his hoop and ran off. "That'll be two-and-threepence, ma'am," announced the glazier when the window was whole once more, "Two-and-threepence!" gasped the lady. "But your little boy broke it. The little fellow, with the hoop, you know. You're his father, aren't you?" - -j. The stolid man shook his head. "Don't know him from Adam," he aid. "He came around to my place and told me his mother wanted her winder mended. You're his mother, ain't you?" And the lady shook her head also. Dog Pets in ITotoiB. ' "The one thing we have more trou ble with than anything else," said the manager of one ot the large hotels in upper Broadway, "is the fact that women insist on smuggling their pet dogs to their rooms. We have no objection to dogs as dogs. It the "animal is not too large or too fierce our gnests may take them to their rooms during the day and may even feed them there. But we draw the line at having dogs in the bedrooms at night. Any woman with a. pet dog can have the beast cared tor by the porter at night, and we have specially constructed kennels for all kinds of dogs add we give them the best of care. But owners of pets seem to think that no one save themselves un derstand Fldo or Gyp. The women Teem to think that it doggie has not the comforting assurance ot the own er's nearness, then doggie will not sleep well. So women try to smuggle heir pets to their rooms under their cloaks or by back ways, or even bribe one of the porters to take it to their room, believing that we will not hear anything about it. - "As a matter of fact, the first thing the porter does after getting his tip is to tip me, and a couple of hours later the woman is called upon by a clerk who tells her dogs cannot stay in the bedrooms all night." New Press. . . Gome Tollte Fornw. Wedding cards come thick and fas in the autumn, and etiquetta overnlns tteir acknowledgment is so precise that there should be no excuse in making an error. - Invitations to a church service, unless the ceremony is to be a small one, require no answer when re ceived, but under no circumstances, except that of mourning, should a call be omitted within a fortnight after the wedding. I say call upon the parents supposing that the invi tations were issued in their names. If for any reason others, such as guardians or relatives, send out the Invitations the visit should be made to them. The point is that whoever was so courteous as to send the in vitation should receive the return po liteness a call. If a widower issues the wedding invitation a woman re ceiving one posts her card with that of her husband's ns an acknowledg ment to the sender. Reception cards require no pre vious acknowledgment, but are treat ed like any other invitation. A visit ing card is left by those who are present at such an affair, and those who are unable to go post cards to be received on the date ot the func tion. Of course if one is bidden to the breakfast,, or the number ot in vitations to the house is small, these are acknowledged as soon as received. In this case, however, such requests are usually written by the bride or her parents, and are quite informal, so that the answer is a note written In the same style. - Whenever the engraved invitations bear" the letters R. 8. V. P., an an swer must be made at once. This is sometimes done on cards ot invitation to a reception, that the host may haye some idea of how many per 89ns to. provide for. Such a response Ihouid be made formally, in the third person, .repeating the form on the ard. As, for- instance, "Mr. and Mrs.'-. Jones accept with pleasure Mr. and Mrs. Smith's kind invitation to the wedding reception ot their daugh ter on December 1." '"When there is n church wedding and.no reception it is expected that .the'Jbrlde will be called upon, when one knows where she is, unless "at home" cards have been sent out and one has been omitted from the list. This is equivalent to declaring that the bride does not care for one's ac quaintance. Before accepting this Cut, however, one cannot take too much pains to be sure that the omis sion was accidental and not designed, and in any case the parents should be called upon. . Cards announcing the wedding ot a friend must always be acknowl edged by posting visiting cards at once .to those issuing the invitation, not to the bride. One calls upon the bride when she is "at home." . True courtesy and politeness does not delay in making simple and proper acknowledgments within the time specified, and failure to do so dubs one either Ignorant or careless. Washington Star. NEWEST FASHIONS. Hat pins, like bats, grow larger and larger. Jabots are growing larger and fluffier every day. Velvet and plush make some of the most admired wraps of the year. Pearl gray is always attractive, but the pearl shades are not fashionable. Hand painted gauze embroidered with tiny gold spangles is a gorgeous hat trimming. The mandarin coat with its no shape and little trimming is the most stunning wrap. The newest sleeves for frocks are arranged in deep tucks, and cut in one with the coat or bodice. A morning dress that consists of a brown skirt and a white blouse with brown accessories is neat and smart. Fringes, though not yet very abun dant, are a graceful garniture that grows in favor, even though some what slowly. Black chenille embroidery and sll ver spangles upon a gown of gray chiffon over pink make It Indeed "a dainty thing." Skirts are more close fitting, oth erwise similar, and go the modes that prevailed last season are by no means out of date as yet. Coque plumes in delicate colors are more novel than the greens, blues and blacks that we have be come so accustomed to. With the exception of the re-appearance of the long sleeve and the draped clinging skirt, there is not much change in the fashions. Black braid for trimming brown or blue serge gowns Is one ot the most serviceable garnitures for - these hardy gowns for every day wear. The rest does not signify that the garment is a closely fitting one, for, on the contrary, it is almost kimona like in shape, the wide, short sleeves falling over undersleeves of silk and lace. The fastest elevators run at a speed equal to about seventeen miles an hour. SOME GOOD HEALTH MAXIMS. Physician's Ideas That May Be Worth Remembering. A physician gives these common sense health maxims: Have no faith in the popular notion that catarrhs and colds are due to cold weather. Most often they are the result of impure air breathed in badly ventilated, overheated dwellings. Adi rondack guides, northern trappers or Klondike miners seldom have colds. The Inference Is obvious. Pay no attention to the Idea that late suppers are injurious. The most vigorous and healthiest of natives have eaten their principal meal at the close of the day's work. Let the brutes, guided unerringly by instinct, be our teachers. They eat heartily before going to sleep. In healthy per sons the stomach knows when It has appetite. It has a voice ot Its own. Disregard those who say night air is poisonous and advise you to shut tight the windows. The air without is infinitely purer than that within. Absence of sunlight does not poison it, else the millions who pass the night under the stars would soon perish. But they don't. Never be persuaded that bodily strength depends upon eating much flesh food. Meat yields fat, and fat Is needed by the human system; but olive oil, nut food, milk and butter would answer the purpose just as well. Finally It is prudent to bear in mind that alcoholic stimulants are not in dispensable in a cold climate; and that missing a meal often saves a sick man a doctor's bill and a course of drugs. New York Press. COULD NOT BE DECEIVED. Russian Peasants Did Not Understand a. Polite Conductor. An Englishman traveling In Russia furnishes the following Incidents to a London paper an incident which he personally witnessed and which he says "shows better than volumes of description the customs and social conditions of Russian peasants: "At a railway station the train is on the point of starting. As usual in Russia, the bell rings three times before de parture, to warn the passengers to take their seats. At the first ring the chief conductor, seeing on the platform a group of peasants standing humbly and cautiously together, says very politely to them: "Gentlemen, the first signal Is given; please take your places." One of the peasants, turning to his comrades, says: "Dimitri, Ivan, Ste ven, do you hear? The master tells us to enter the train." "Oh, you stu pid," says another. "Are you a gen tleman? You heard him say 'gentle men.' He invited the gentry." There is a second ring of the bell. The con ductor calls, hurriedly and angrily: "Please, gentlemen, take your seats; you hear the second signal." The same peasant says to the others: "It Is for us. We must take out seats. The train will start." "You ass!" says his companion. "Do you think you are called a gentleman? Were you ever a gentleman?" The third ring of the bell is heard. The conductor, losing his temper and hustling the peasants forward cries, "Idiots! Pigs! Beasts! Do you hear or not? Be off and take your seats!" "That Is for us," say the peasants. "Dimitri, Ivan, hurry up. We must take our seats." Show Your Hand. If you've a point on a follow, don't make It: Just stop and consider this fnet. That ho sometime or other, with Interest, May Insist on returning the act. Then a moment with strife ne'er embitter, Forgive and forget If you can. Lest Time, with a dextrous shuffle, Deals trumps to a worthier man. No matter for clothes or condition, Thj man may be found under all; There's ne'er been a spark of humanity lost To the race since ho time of the fall; It's there If you only can reach It, But the heart can't be opened with blows, And kicking- a man when he's already down Will ne'er raise him higher, God knows. For body and soul there's many a man Battling with life and Its brunt. That just by the flip of a penny, per chance. May come smilingly up to the front. So this fact It were well to remember. As a point in one's own Int'rest to make. That the hand giving help to another May sometime Itself need a stoke. La Porte City (Iowarl'ress. Prohibition Districts.

VSV.Z ft 1 ti'iMi ' On July SO Lieutenant Shackleton set sail for the Antarctic. It has been decided to fix the base ot operations on King Edward's Land, the most easterly point reached by the expedition ot 1901-'04. This point is equally well placed as regards the pole, and has the advantage ot being new ground. Into this area Mr. Shackleton will penetrate by three distinct sledge expeditions, in which he will be aided by the use of a motor car specially built for the task at the Arrol-Johnston works, Paisley. The car is constructed to withstand extreme cold, and will be operated by a spirit which will work satisfactorily in low temperatures; it is provided with three different sets of wheels for use on surfaces of varying softness. Great hopes are entertained of its value for traction purposes, but it is recognized that its employment is an experiment, and the chances of the expedition's success are far from being centred in any such novel means of locomotion. The use of Siberian ponies In the Antarctic is also in the nature of an experiment, but the hardiness and strength they have de veloped on the bitterly cold plains of Eastern Biberia, where they are ac customed to live in the open all through the winter, Justify the hope that the experiment will be a success. The Sphere. Double Color Brash. Artists and wlelders of the bursh will instantly recognize the advan tages of the double color brush shown in the illustration below, the invention ot a New Jersey man. Having two brushes on the one han dle to work with, more work can naturally be accomplished by the operator. In applying plain washes over a large surface the two brushes can be manipulated with as much ease as one, the large volume of color carried by the brushes insur ing the wash being more even in color, as the entire surface can be covered before one part dries. When the. latter is the case it is almost Impossible to get the color to lie evenly. Two colors can also be car ried on the brushes one on each which would materially assist the artist where two colors are being ap plied at the same time. A half-century ago William H. Parkin discovered the coloring prop erties ot coal-tar. "RIGHT Mrs. Greenby "I'm glad we put on our best clothes, Joslah. I don't like to look different from the rest o' people.
