Plans of Mrs. 8artorls.
Her youngest daughter having
crossed the line into the domain of
matrimony, Mrs. Nellie Grant Sartorls
purposes to spend her winters here
after In WnsWngton. Miss Rosemary
Sartorls, who was marriod recently to
Mr. Wooiston, of England, had been
her mother's close companion. She
spent little time abroad, contrary to
tho custom of her sister, now Mrs.
Fredorle Roosevelt Scovol. Mrs.
Wooiston is not as brilliant as her
Bister, but she has admirable home
qualities. Mrs. Sartorls, who is al
most an invalid, will live in an apart
ment houso, and, if her health permits,
she will make a short visit to Florida
to see the bridal couple in March.
President Grant's daughter is still de
voting much of her time to editing
her mother's, memoirs and the letters
written by her father to members of
his family in their absence from home.

When to Give Her Hand,
There nre few people who have not
Buffered at one timo or another by tho
offhand manner in which they wero
Introduced to others. This kind of
Introduction is likely to embarrass
some people, just as the careful and
gracious introduction is one of the
essentials in putting strangers at
ease.
In Introducing people, the greatest
care should bo taken to pronounce
both names distinctly. If one name
has escaped the introducer's memory
It is safest and best to excuse one
self and ask for the forgotten name.
The most delicate sensibilities should
not be wounded by such a slip of
memory, for who is there who has
not at some time or another quite
forgotten a well-known name? says
Woman's Llfo.
The debatable question as to wheth
er a woman should shake hands with
a man who is being presented to her
has been solved by making It only
obligatory for the woman to offer her
hand .to tho man when tho occasion
Is informal and tho mnn is being intro
duced to one person at a time. When
he is meeting a group of people it
makes it embarrasing and awkward
to shake hand3 with all.

It blows hot or blows cold for
women these days, in accordance with
the size of their pocketbooks, and per
haps with deference to the atmosphere
of the particular cities In which they
live. Take Washington as the exam
ple. One day last week, in an avenue
of the capital, Mrs. Victor Metcalf,
wife of the Secretary of Commerce
and Labor, walked along with Miss
Chabot of Oakland, both garbed in
embroidered white linen, with lace
and ffifls. They wore white felt hats,
with black and apple-green ostrich
plumes. But in the same avenue at
the same tima was Mrs. Hope Slater
of Boston, whose summer meander
lngs had included Russia and the
North Cape. She had bought a great,
loose sable coat, lined with the palest
of blue and reaching below the knees.
She had donned her costly garment,
for it Is conceded November is the
month in which to appear in new furs,
end she Knew her business If the
weather man did not know his. On

Portia's Legal Wisdom.
Professor F. Edge Kavanagh, of the
Muncipal Civil Service Board, was ablo
to tell the members of the Portia Club
at their meeting, recently in New York
City, something many of them did
not know about the heroine of Shakes
peare's "Merchant of Venice," from
whom the organization takes its
nam 9.
"The character of Portia has been
criticised," said Professor Kavanagh,
substantially, "on the ground that- it
would have been Impossible for a
woman of her class at that period
and in that place to have displayed
her knowledge. They forget that
Venice was at the time the city of
greatest culture In Italy, and that
It was by no means contrary to the
spirit of Italian life that a great lady
should know something of the law.
"Owing to the Italian custom of
primogeniture, by which titles, and
real and other estate descended to the
daughters of a noble house, as well
as to. the sons. It was usual to give
these girls very much the same train-
ing In legal matters that the boys re
ceived. Italian mediaeval history is
full of Instances of women who were
called on to administer and execute
large affairs.
"When the palace schools developed
Into the unlverlstles, the policy of giv
ing girls the benefits of higher educa
tion was continued and enlarged. It
1 quite In accordance with Italian
precedent that at the present we find
the University of Bologna not only
opening its courses to women, but
giving them a chance at the highest
honors, and allowing them to lecturo."
.Now It's Rust Color.
For tailor-mades, and, Indeed, for
many other sartorial purposes, a color
which lends itself admirably to the
requirements of the season is "rust"
In cloth and velvet It presents a warm,
rich effect, is newor than green and
gray (of which we shall have a sur
feit as the winter advances) and is
less aggressively noticeable than
claret.
White cloth, ecru guipure, or velvet
of a darker shade, not to speak of the
Innumerable fancy galons and em
broidery so lavishly used Just now,
would easily and effectively trim a
gown of that particular color.
I saw a chic, though unpretentious,
little costume in "rust" cloth, which
embodied the very newest Idea in
coats.
It took tho form of a loose Jacket,
trimmed with silk braid of exactly the
sumo color as the cloth, worn open
and not reaching lower than the hips,
but slightly indicating the waist by
menns of a leather belt caught at In
tervals under the pleats of the Jacket.
The skirt was of walking length, With
some lozenge designs of silk braid
above the hem, while the chemisette
worn under the coat wns of Cluny lace,
the small, tight-fitting waistcoat more
like a high belt being of velvet, and
somewhat darker than the rest of the
costume.
A characteristic of these new belts,
worn over redlngotes or Jackets, is
that they are" all adjusted loosely,
the slenderness of the waist being
merely suggested, and the belt in no
case fitting tightly to the figure Phil
adelphia Record.
Perfumes of Queens.
During her recent visit to Paris
Margherita, the Queen Dowager of
Italy, made extensive purchases of
perfumes, and the papers reveal that
her favorite essence is violet This
has brought out a discussion of the
perfumes used by the queens of
Europe.
It is alleged that the Czarina spends
In Paris no less than 50,000 francs .an
nually on perfumes, creoms, soaps and
toilet waters. Violet Is her favorite
also, nnd large quantities of it are
put up in flasks especially for her.
She is so fond of perfumes in gen
eral, however, that her rooms are
dnlly sprinkled with essences of elder,
Jasmine, narcissus or tuberose. Some
times tho atmosphere is so charged
with scent as to be almost intolerable
to other people entering the apart
ments.
For the preparation of the Czari
na's toilet waters violets are especially
plucked between 6 and 7 o'clock In
the evening, because in her opinion
that is the hour when the plants give
forth the most exquisite odors.
Queen Alexandra of England Is ad
dicted to the ess-bouquet the formula
for which as used by the English royal
family Is said to be a secret handed
down from father to son since 1829.
The components are said to be musk,
abergrls, rosewater, violet. Jasmine,
orange flower and lavender.
Queen Wilhelmina of the Nether
lands has a less complicated taste.
Eau do cologne is good enough for
her. She uses half a litre a day of it.
She uses considerable fancy soap,
toilet creams and powder. She takes
a warm bath of seven minutes dura
tion daly, followed by a cold douche.
She is very proud of her beautiful
vomplextion and takes every pains
to keep It unimpaired. New York
Sun.
Fashion Notes.
Very luxurious are soma of the new
fur and down filled waistcoats worn
under cloth coats.
A beautiful broad black ribbon, had
huge bunches of red roses like a round
bouquet all down the center.
There are some girls who are bet
ter suited by a plain line at the neck
rather than frills and furbelows.
For dusty roads, cloth coats lined
with fur are liked better by experi
enced autolsts than coats that have
the fur outside.
Tiny boleros that accompany many
handsome black gowns for social func
tions this winter are made bright with
jet paillettes and spangles.
Chinchilla is one of the most popu
lar of furs, and Us combination with
pink or blue cloth in evening wraps
is one of the triumphs of the season.
Bordered materials are having quite
a vogue, the lovely printed chiffons
showing pompadour designs having
the greatest following up to this time.
Leather belts have suede-covered or
brass buckles, the latter smooth and
shining or elaborately ornate accord
ing to the Individual choice of the
wearer.
Plaid hone seem to take better
among the men than among women,
and orders are hard to fill in the men's
department while the demand is com
paratively slight at the women's
hosiery counter.
Red cloth coats are always popular
for boys and girls, the usual trimming
of .white pearl buttons being varied
this year by making them of black vel
vet A smart touch Is given some ol
these bright coats for small folk by
heavy white lace laid over the black
velvet collar.

AN EDUCATED SPARROW.
Bird Whose Accomplishments Rival
Those of a Magpie.
Monsieur Mignaud, a French sclent'
1st, has recently compiled some inter
esting information with reference to
tho mimical accomplishment of a spar
row in his collection of living birds.
He captured the sparrow soon after
it had been hatched, and fed it by
hand until it could care for itself.
Then he pinced it in a cage containing
a chnmnch, a goldfinch and two can
aries. After a time the Bparrow learned
to warble like the finches and to trill
like the canaries, the imitations be
ing so perfect as to deceive the ear.
In the spring M. Mignaud is accus
tomed to keep a box of crickets near
his blrd-cnges. Two days after the
crickets had been placed near the
cage containing the sparrow the latter
began to imitate their cry interming
ling It with Its songs. Even after the
crickets had long been dead the spar
row remembered its lesson and con
tinued to repeat their cry. None of the
other birds attempted to Imitate the
crickets.
Singularly enough, the sparrow nev
er utters tho peculiar equalling cry of
Its own species, having been removed
from the nest too early, apparently,
to have learned it
Ought to Change Their Style,
When a man goes out to speak to
people he at least ought not to do
them any harm by holding up falsa
ideas of life and confusing young peo
ple as tc the meaning ct success. The
commencement speaker has much to
answer for along this line. Boys and
girls have been told so often about
the success of big men and so little
about the success of those who,
though not born great, made the most
of themselves and lived happy and use
ful, thought not famous lives, they art
apt to get the wrong idea about what
success really means; and because they
can't all bo president or governor,
as they are falBcly told they can be,
they are npt to think that they can't
be anything. The value of education
Is dwelt upon as a means to achieve
wealth or fame or both. This is why
there is so much error as regards the
true value of education, which means
fclmply that each individual should be
trained or educated to use to the
greatest advantage whatever powers ht
has, be they large or small. But be
ing told that education means that a
boy will necessarily become a govern
or. or a senator or occupy some other
high place, many people have come to
think of education only In this sense,
and so when they see a man who haj
been to college and been "educated
and does no good in life, they say that
education does not pay. The com
mencement sky-scrapers ought to get
down to their business and find what
education really Is and then talk abou
it and stop the meaningless jangle of
words that often have more sound
than sense. Monroe Journal.

CLEANING HAIR BRUSIIE3.
Valuable brushes, such as those
with ivory or tortolseshell backs, may
be thoroughly cleansed by using bran
instead of soap and water. The tfusa
Is dipped into bran, which must be
rubbed Into the bristles as one would
soap, and the particles may afterward
be removed by tapping the brush
bristles downward on the table. The
process is somewhat lengthy, but it
prevents the bristles from becoming
softened, as they inevitably must be
if wetted. When every trace of bran
has been removed, the brush will be
found to be perfectly clean, and may
then be wiped with a soft silk hand
kerchief.

RECIPES
Lemon Ice Cream. Squeeze a lem
on and strain the Juice upon as much
fine sugar as It will absorb, pour s
quarts of cream into it very slowly,
stirring fast all tho time. Another
simple but very good recipe Is: Heat
a quart of milk hot, but do not let
It boil. Add the yolks of 4 eggs,
beaten with a coffee cup of sugar, and
flavor with lemon or vanilla. Choco
late cream can be made by adding
some powdered chocolate and mix be
fore freezing. Also peaches or straw
berries can be used for a change.
PicalllU. One peck green tomatoes
and one dozen small onions. Place
them in layers, sprinkle Bait between,
one cup for this quantity, 1 1-2 cups
dark brown sugar. Let stand twenty
four hours, drain through a sieve,
add 1-2 ounce whole cloves, 1-2 ounce
allspice, tablespoon red pepper, 1-2
pint whole mustard seed. Place to
matoes in a kettle with layers of
spice between, cover with vinegar and
boll two hours.
Currant Jelly Measure the Juice
and allow one pint of white sugar to
one pint of the Juice. Let the juice
simmer ten minutes before adding the
sugar. Let it boil twenty minutes,
remove the scum carefully as it forms.
When ready pour the Jelly into glasses
which have been rolled in hot water
and are still standing in It When
the Jelly is cold and firm pour melted
parafflne over the top, cover with pa
per and keep in a cool, dark, dry
place. Be careful not to tip the
glasses or In any way break through
the edge of the jolly which seals the
mass to the glass.
Velvet Sponge Cake. The yolks of
6 eggs and 2 cups of sugar beaten to
a cream. Add the whites of three
eggs well beaten, then 2 1-8 cups of
flour, with 1 heaping teaspoon of bak
ing powder. Flavor with lemon or
vanilla. Add 1 cup of boiling, water.
Beat well and bake in a moderate
oven. This makes a large cake and
should be baked in a dripping pan.
