Short Skirts at English Levee.
I hear through an otlicial who was
present at both courts that the style
4 dress displayed on these occasions
was for the most part astonishing.
The younger ladies especially affected
the quaintest of quite short skirts, off
the ground all round and displaying
' In many cases wonderful shoes of
: old or silver tissue or morocco,
' with high heel.
i ' When their trains were spread out
! these young ladies looked rather like

Refuso to Pay, She Says. -Mrs.
Dora Monteflore, the Etnglieh
suffragette who lor three years re
fused to pay her taxes and had her
, goods sold by the bailiff In conse
quence, recommended elmilar meth
ods to the New York Legislative
league at the Waldorf-Astoria, saya
the New York Tribune.
"If you are willing to sacrifice your
selves," she said, "to endure even the
degradation of going to prison, you
Will be able before long to help not
only yourselves but the human race."
Mrs. Lillle Devereux Blake, the
president, was re-elected, "probably
tor the last time," she told the wom
an. "I am now seventy-six years old,"
he said, "and I don't believe I'll
erve again. I am getting to the
point where I feel that younger wom
an should take the helm."
Nurses Now Want Votes.
The trained nurses are the latest
body of professional women to Join
the suffrage movement. Dr. Mary
Ballon 's taking the lead in getting
them togther. All the nurBes of the
Other registries have been invited to
join.
Dr. Halton admits that the major
ity of the nurses, while not pro
nounced "antls," are not aa yet very
keen on the subject of votes, but she
aye that moot physicians are in fav
or of woman suffrage, and she thinks
that their opinion will have weight
With the nurses. Of the ninety doc
tors In the Sydenham Building, Madi
son avenue and 67th street, she
found that nearly all wanted women
to vote. The reason for the compar
ative Indifference of the nurses, she
says, Is that they haven't time to
hlnk of things outside their work.
Jlew York Tribune.
Legal to Hold Up Husband.
A wife has a right to rob her hus
tend, according to Judge Gemmell,
Of the Municipal Court, Chicago. Gus
tavo H. DeKolkey had his wife ar
rested for taking his money by force.
"My wife robbed me right in my
wn home," said DeKolkey. "She got
boarder and her brother to help
bold me. Then she went througn my
pookets and got $11."
Mrs. De Kolkey was led up m front
f the court's desk.
"Did you rob him?" asked the
Judge.
"Yea, I did," she said. "There was
no other way to get money out of
him. He hasn't given me a cent for
over a year. So I decided to rob him.
I called my brother and we held him,
and I got what was in his pockets."
'This Is a plain case of robbery,
but It was perfectly justifiable under
the circumstances," said the court.
"The defendant Is discharged. A
wife has the right to hold up her hus
band when he squanders his wages
and -does not give her enough for her
support."
Outings Are Important.
"Yes, I am just back from my an
nual spring flight, and feeling as
light hearted as the proverbial bird,
too," said the Woman Philosopher in
the New York Tribune. "There Is
more than whim or habit in this
springtime desire to bo on the move
whether to transport one's house
, bold belongings or one's self to new
scenes," she continued. "Why, hark
ing back to oldtime Chaucer, they
wanted to go on spring pilgrimages
even in the England of the fourteenth,
century- I am convinced that It is a
practically Imperative demand of our
human nature to make a change at
that time to feel a change, to do
something different. And lucky Is
the lndividul who can obey the in
stinct The cost and the bother of
the spring flight are nothing in com
parison with ts value. Just as our
winter clothing grows shabby to us,
and our appetites grow peevish, so
our minds need the stimulus of some
thing new, after the ordeal of win
ter. I always plan at least a few
Aays'iBbsenoe somewhere about this
pffi. I don't take the children 1
siuiem away, earlier or later. I
even carry my theory so far as to
give each of the servants two days
off between April 1 and the middle of
May. By the way, such a plan helps
one to hold one's servants through
the next six months. Mrs. J., who
keeps up an establishment with
eight servants, deliberately arranges
for them to have their spring vaca
tions, just as regularly as her eon
and daughters have their school va
cations. "Mark my words: Your bit of ru1
ing at this season of the year Is quite
as Important to you as your new
gowns and hats."
Luncheons for Brides.
Every hostess takes pride in invent
ing novel aud pretty decorations for
her luncheons, teas and dinners, and
she takes special pride when the
guest of honor is a young bride or
bride-to-be. It is never a difficult
matter to evolve something attrac
tive for a festivity connected with
marriage, for there are so many
charming designs that can be used
cupids, hearts, wedding bells, wedding
rings and the like.
At a luncheon given last week for
an engaged girl the color scheme was
pink and white, pink being the fav
orite color of the bride-elect. The
hostess was the latter's closest
friend, and all the guests were inti
mates of the two, which made the
luncheon a very jolly affair.
The chandelier, above the table,
was festooned with pink and white
tulle, and suspended from it was a
large golden hoop simulating a wed
ding ring. From the hoop streamers
of pink and white ribbon stretched to
each cover, held in place there by
tiny cupids, each cupid bearing a
card with the name of the guest to
whom the place had been assigned.
Bride roses filled a cut glass bowl in
the centre of the table, were clustered
in vases and bowls on sideboard and
mantel, and nodded in banks from
the low window seats.
Yellow luncheons 'are very approp
riate when the guest of honor Is a
bride, since yellow suggests sun
shine. At one such luncheon in early
summer last year a wedding bell
covered with field daisies with yellow
hearts and black-eyed Susans with
yellow petals hung above the table.
A big flat dish of old brass, filled with
yellow lady's slippers, stood in the
centre of the table, and a wreath of
daisies and 6milax followed the curve
of the table, just inside of the plates.
Daisy festoons stretched from the
chandelier to the four corners of the
room, and daisies and black-eyed Sus
ans and tall feathery grasses were
banked on the mantelpiece and
massed In earthenware pots of
quaint and unusual shapes.
The place cards at this lunc'.ieon
were tiny yellow satin slippers filled
with rice, the little oerd witl the
name on it half hidden In th rice.
Other pretty place cards for engage
ment or bridal luncheons are hand
painted designs showing a flrl's head
framed in a wedding ring, cupids
peeping through a heart design, or
twin hearts pierced with arrows. A
woman with some skill in water col
ors and a certain amount of Inven
tion can easily paint the caras ror a
lunoheon and, knowing the fads and
fancies of her guests, can get in lit
tle personal touches that will enliven
the luncheon Immensely. New York
Tribune.
Fashion Notes.
Allover embroidery in colors to
match the suits Is good.
Pearls In many colors are used fo
embroider taffeta suits Instead of
btaid. 1
.Coarse blus linen frocks, embroid
ered with blue and coral silk, are
rapde for young girls. These are worn
with lace guimpes, aud are collar
less. On many of the lingerie ftVesses
English eyelet embroidery Is used. It
is combined with voile vde cotton,
much in demand now", because It does
not crumple easily.
A. separate blouse must be In every
one's possession. The newest model
Is formed of ribbon the same color as
the material of the skirt, and Is worn
over a lace undersllp.
Lace and more lace. It perches In
huge bows on bats; it covers silk
evening gowns; It forms beautiful
wrars, either In separate glory or
combined with gold tulle.
Scarlet cloth is used here for ex
tremely short coats, belted in with
1)lack patent leather. Black satin ra
vers decorate these jackets that are
giving a touch of color to the lawns
or porches.
Little girls are wearing hats that
have departed from the simplicity so
popular In America. A mass of lace
and frills crowns each little one's
head, no matter how plain the coat or
dress may be. ,
The Hedebo embroidery In ' many
respects is suggestive of the exquisite
Madeira embroidery. The designs,
however, are distinctly different, be
ing far more suggestive of filet net,
than any other kind of handwork.
Paisley effects are again with us. In
chiffon, net, satin, foulards and pon
gee, giving touches of rich colorings.
Indeed, the Paisley printed pongee,
is used extensively as trlmlng tor
frocks and suits of natural-oofored
pongee, shantung and tussore.
ALBERT SPALDING,
A FAMOUS AMERICAN VIOLINIST.
There must be something in sport
ing blood that produces the musical
temperament when the two most tal
ented of young American musicians,
Geraldine Farrar and Albert Spald
ing, are both the children of famous
baseball players. The distinguished
soprano ts the daughter of Sid. C.
Farrar, long a member of the Phila
delphia Nationals, and the greatest
of American violin virtuosos is
the son of Al. G. Spalding, whose ca
reer and fame are too well known for
repetition here.
Mr. Spalding is a violinist of the
most extraordinary technical powers.
He has a beautiful sensuous tone,
great warmth of conception, Joined
with a comprehensive mentality
which enables him to put these quail
ties to the best use.
Spalding has in his artistic make
up that which appeals to both lay
man and professional; his warm,
singing, soulful tone will always

please a miscellaneous audience,
while his mastery of the violin, his
sterling muslclans'.ilp and his exqui
site taste In all things pertaining to
Interpretation must win the admira
tion of connoisseurs. Spalding's
technique Is highly developed; It Is
fluent. It Is reliable and clean cut.
What makes Spalding's art partic
ularly attractive are the above men
tioned qualities of his round, noble,
ringing tone, which recalls Wil
helmj's, and a temperament filled
with youthful freshness.
Albert Spalding was born In Chi
cago In 1888, and began his studies
at an early age with Professor Chltl
in Florence, where he. lived In the
winter, studying in the summer In his
own country with the Spanish master,
Professor J. Bultrago. When he was
fourteen he took the first prize of the
Bologna Conservatoire, and finished
his studies In Paris with Lefort.

Smallest Estate Settled.
Probably the smallest estate ever
administered in New York has final
ly been settled after litigation cover
ing several weeks, and the public ad
ministrator has turned over to the
care of the City Chamberlain twenty-five
cents to be held subject to the
claims of the heirs of William Port
land, a negro ex-puglllst. To reach
this settlement a land development
company by which Portland was em
ployed, seeking to get possession of
the shanty In which he lived, was
compelled to petition the surrogate
to appoint an administrator to take
charge of the dead man's effects. The
administrator found a trunk, cloth
ing and a brass ring, in which was
set a large piece of cut glass. When
offered for sale an Italian junk man,
attracted Ly the ring, bought the en
tire estate for twenty-five cents.

A handful of flour bound on a cut
will stop the bleeding in a short time.
Dip the ink spot In pure melted tal

the ink will come out of linen with it.
When the lamp chimney has been
smoked put it under the faucet and
the cold water takes It all off nice
and clean.
A flannel dipped into boiling water
and sprinkled with turpentine and
laid on the chest will relieve cold and
hoarseness.
Put onions In a deep dish and All

this will prevent them from making
the eyes weep.
When knocking the crusts off a
slice of toast, try using a wooden po
toto masher and see how much easier
and better the work is done.
A tablespoonful of strong coffee put
into the gravy of melted butter, pep
per and salt to be poured over beef
steak, imparts a delicious flavor to it.
A teaspoonful of vinegar put into a
lamp or oil stove that smells or
smokes, will cause It to burn with a
clear light and prevent it from smok

The three or five-arm towel rack
will be found a great convenience in
the kitchen for drying the dish towels
on a damp day. It is not so unsightly
as a line stretched across tho kitchen
to be used for drying purposes.
For the busy housekeeper who
wants to whip cream when it seems
too thin or perverse, try setting the
dish of cream in a bowl of real cold
water; then take from the cold water
and put in hot water and the dis
couraged house wife will find the
cream will whip like magic.
To clean an oil painting rub a
freshly cut slice of potato dampened
in cold water over the picture. The
lather should be wiped off with a soft,
damp sponge and then the picture
should be washed with lukewarm wa

of soft silk that has been washed.
Before washing, look over all linen
for spots. Tea and coffee stains usual
ly yield, to hot water when poured
steadily through them. Fruit stains,
or in fact any stain, can always be
removed by rubbing pure glycerin in
to them before putting into water. Af

TRADE AND INDUSTRY
IRREGULAR AND QUIET
Bradstreet's Reports Evidence of Im
provement in Western
Distriution.
"Irregularity nnd relative quiet ars
still ruling features in trade and in
dustry, but evidences of improvement
in Western distribution are rather
sharply in contrast with the reports
of slow trade recently received. Warm
er weather is the key to the better
crop and trade reports received this
week from tho West, Northwest and
Southwest, while cool, moist condl
tionh along the Atlantic coast, now
disappearing, have been a bar to trade
and crop developments In the East.
Relatively best reports come from
Western cities and towns, while coun
try trade, though better, is Blower to
respond, owing to farmers being busi
In work on hitherto delayed crops.
"The leading Industries conditions
have not as yet responded to the bet
ter features above depicted. ' Short
time is evident In nearly all lines, of
textile manufacture, cotton goods still
reflecting the stress of high prices for
raw material and arrested demand for
goods. The percentage of idle looms
and spindles ranges from 25 per cent
upward. Pre-lnventory sales of cot
ton and dress goods at lower prices
have helped to enlarge distribution by
jobbers East and West.
"Short time Is also witnessed In
woolen goods manunfacture. Buyers
at wholesale still display caution and 1
conservatism and business as a wfiole
In textiles is characterized as of a
peddling nature. In pig Iron produc
tion still outruns consumption and
prices are weak. Finished lines
show effects of restricted buying, bas
er on hopes of lowered costs.
