of tao black cloth , In preference to crepe ,

according to the style of hat. His scarf is ot
dull black , and never ehowe a pin. His
gloves are heavy black glace kids , excepting
for driving or out-of-door sports , when black
castor or dogskin may bo worn.
Hs ! haDlkcrchlcfs must be all white , with
only the narrowest of hemstitched border ,
neither must they show Initials , monogram
or embroidered markings of ciiy description.
Instead , the full name or Initials written In
black Indelible Ink , preferably by the owner
blmsclf. His watch chain Is laid aside , cud a
black guard Is used Instead , while his gold
buttons and studs have as substitutes those
enameled to look like the linen Itself. Ills
visiting cards , always small , end his sta
X tionary have a narrow black border.
To lighten his loneliness , etiquette allows
him to visit his mon friends two months
after ho has assumed mourning. Wltlra man. .

The Japanese minister has presented to
Miss Helen Long , the sponsor of the vessel

superb Clalsonno vases , as mementos of the
occasion. These vases are of exquisite de

bringing out In relief the clusters of pure
white plum blossoms , as they grow In the

Frill * of 'Fashion.
Demi-trained skirts are decidedly growing
In favor except for costumes designed
strictly for treet wear.
Wide stock bands of white moussellne de
ole with huge bow knots are worn around
the throat , recalling old portraits.
Black undressed kid gloves will be much
used during the Lenten season In preference
to glace styles or colored gloves ot any de-
criptlon.
Dark mixed wool gowns trimmed with
velvet and fur are typical winter costumes
for general wear. They are service-able as
well aa smart.
Bright tulip colors , red In Romany gera
nium , and other brilliant dyes , mauve and
tangerine yellow , are the most popular col
ors In millinery as it is now presented.
Tucks are in quite as great favor as they
have been for several seasons past ; therefore
no woman need hesltato about tucking her
waists and gowns for the summer it she
fancies this easy and effective style of trim

ADVANCE AGENT FOR A STATE

The one woman promoter of the United
States Is Mra. Janet Macdonald of California.
Scot out by the Chamber of Commerce and
the "Halt Million" club of San Francisco ,
she Is makliiR a tour of the south and east ,
with the view of attracting emigrants and
capital to California. Mrs. Macdonald la a
forcible speaker , and her lectures describing
the natural resources and many advantage *
of her state are profusely illustrated by
klnetoscope pictures , all taken directly under
her supervision.
When asked to talk about her work and
tell the secret of her success , Mrs. Macdon
ald laughed. "As to my work you see what
I do , end all my listeners know my object.
I am well paid and my duties are agreeable
In the extreme , since nothing suits me so
well as to talk aboul my beautiful state.
"I went to California when I waa 12 yeara
gotten up with the stiri , gone out after a
light breakfast and worked until black dark
without having time f oTdinner or lunch.
Of course it I had nfWfiosecescl an 'Iron
constitution' I would have died , so I would
by all means advise womlti against such ex
tremes.
"As I traveled about" ttfo country It oc
curred to me that I 'taftht make a good
thing by writing newsptStitr letters. So In
the morning I would caWftM the towns for
my books and In the aftrfnoon drive out to
different points of Interest for my letters.
In that way I made for many years $1,000 a
month. You may knagtnb'.how I felt when ,
to please my friends , I 'ttc.c'eptcd a position in
the mint at $75 a mctotnf After the flrst

old profession. How Could I live and edu

being accustomed to buh'dreds ?

"Illustrating with klnctoecopc pictures Is

A pretty girl never looks so beautiful to
her lover aa she does Just after she has told
him that she Is engaged to marry another
man.
man.The supreme court of Georgia has decided
that Sunday marriage contracts are valid.
Sunday night will probably continue to be
the favorite courting night.
Elder Caleb H. Blanchford of Walcottvllle ,
Indd. , has performed 910 marriages and offi
ciated at 1.146 funerals in the forty-five
years ot his service In the Baptist mints-
James Bruce , aged about 80 years , and Mrs.
Turman of 'Aldrlch. Mo , , aged about 70 years ,
were married at the bride's home , March z ,
only a few friends being present Mr. Bruce
has lived IB Dado county nearly all his life.
It Is said they r.re the oldest couple ever
married in Dade county.
"Mind you. " said a Boston man testifying
concerning his application for divorce , "I
never saw my wife until about a half-hour
before we were married. I was standing on
the sidewalk near my house , and she was
on the opposite side of the street. She beck
oned to me and I crossed over. She treated
me to two cans of beer , and when I awoke I
was a married man. " Such was the testi
mony In a divorce suit last week a sad case ,
Indeed , of rushing the matrimonial growler.
Marriage , according to Dr. Schwartz of
Berlin Is the most important factor In longev
ity. Of every 200 persons who reach the * ge
of 40 years 125 are married and seventy-nve
unmarried. At 60 years the proportions are
forty-eight to twenty-two ; at 70 years , twen
ty-seven to eleven , and at 90 years , nine to
three. Fifty centenarians had all been mar
ried. The doctor asserts that the rate of
mortality for husbands and wives between
the ages of 30 and 45 is 18 per cent , while
that for unmarried persons Is 28 per cent.
The south , says a Georgia paper , Is a place
where a breach of promise suit Is practically
unknown , where women are not husband
hunters , and where divorce Is Infrequent.
There Is no such thing in. the south as await
ing for a rich man to die and then springing
sensational common law marriages , nor has
there been rarely ever a claim made by Jekll
and Hyde women tor rich men's estates.
Come south and flee from designing woman
hood ; come where there is no need for a
bachelor or non-marriage clubs , and fall a
willing and easy victim , as you Inevitably
will , to God's beat handiwork , a true south
ern woman.
A somewhat singular story was brought
out in connection with the marriage In
Columbia , Mo. , the other day , ot Emanuel
Sumstake to Miss Justine Wllkes. The cere
mony uniting them was the second one per
formed for that purpose , the first having
taken place seventeen years ago , when the
name of the groom was given as Emanuel
Boss. He Is a Swede , and at that time did
not understand bow to pronounce his own
name. Neighbors bad dubbed him Boss ,
and as such bis name went on record. Re
cently it was found that he was entitled tea
a pension , and some investigations as to the
name discrepancy by the Pension department
Influenced him to st matters right by marry-
over again under his patronymic ot Sum-
stake.

A STRUGGLING MILLINER.
"I began to earn , my own living a few
mouths before my 21st birthday , a widow
with three children to support and having
had the advantage of six months' schooling.
When my husband died I realized I must
earn my living and raise my children. I
knew of but three occupations open to women
In my position , sewug ! , millinery and keepIng -
Ing a boarding house. I selected millinery.
"For six months I struggled and made my
one failure. I thought then , and I know
DOW , that my friends bought my goods only
from sympathy , so of course I did not nave
heavy sales. I became discouraged an ] one
day when 'blue' eald In the presence of a
man friend , that I was willing to do any
thing by which I could earn an honorable
living for my children. He said , 'Why don't
you canvass for books ? You could make
money hands up , for you are just the womaa
for the place. '
"To make a long story snort , I began to
c-mvass for books and In the flrst two weeks
made $60. So I gave up my millinery store
and1 devoted , myself to canvassing. My rela.
live * were horrified , and had I been a leper
they could not have avoided me more care
fully. That treatment aroused my pride and
I worked all the harder. Many a day I have
tures. The flrst machine I took out west for
the purpose of making the photographs was
faulty to some way and the pictures proved
a /allure , so I had to ccme east again and
go to the trouble and expense of getting an
other. You may be sure I had It thor
oughly tested before going back. I failed os
a milliner , but I was not going to fall as a
scientific photographer.
"Now I have told you about my work enl
the way I was educated for It , but there
are a few mere words I would like to say :
I have never , not one single time , worked
for smaller wages than a man would have
received for the same work. I have been
appicactod , O , yes , often. But my answer
has Invariably been : 'If I can do the work
as well as a man then I am worth as much
money. If I cannot do the work as well , then
you had batter get a. man to do it , for whftt
Is worth doing at all Is worth doing well.
Of course there have been occasions where
persons were not able to pay for first-class
work. If I had the time and the Inclination
I willingly undertook It , but always as a
favor , not to be paid for. I will never lend
my aid to cheapen woman's work. "

"I would serve madeira and champagne
with a menu of that ecrt , " said Mr. George
C. Boldt , "madeira with the terrapin one
thin champagne right on. The younger ccl
nowadays prefer a lively dinner , which wll
not occupy more than an hour and a half
and champagne makes d.nners lively. Wltn
the proper and ( suitable decorations and a
bottle of madeira and a bottle of good ch.im-
pagce tu each gupet , the test per capita
need not be more than f25. And aoy amount
of money could not really secure any better
food. TCie resources of contemporary civili
zation do not furnish It. "
"Suppose we go back to state dinners In
Lincoln's day , for example , In Washington , '
I asked , "what could the rcaources of tba
clvlllzatloo furnlch ? "
"Everything cheaper , much cheaper , " was
the reply , "nothing better unless wo say
the madeira. The cellars of Baltimore am
many southern cities and houses In ( Close
days were tlocked with splendid madeira
privately Imported. If fine enough madeira
could bo secured today I should prefer to
serve It wltb a bit of fruit toward the cm
of dinner to do Justice to Its bouquet.
"The older eet adhere to the longer din
ner , with a suitable wine served wltb each
course. That makes of dinner an even-
Ing's entertainment , In reality. But the
tendency of the day Is toward champagne
as the dinner wine , almost exclusively.
ABOVE THE $25 MARK.
"When one passes the $25 mark In dinner
expenditure , the money goes for nonessentials
tials , as , for example , for menus engravec
on sterling silver , or for cigarette cases
embossed and Jeweled. Or for menus like
these of which several thousand were or
dercd for the Merchants' and Manufacturers
arsoclatlon , at a cost of $3.GO apiece , even
In such quantities. The cost of the menu
alone , In that case , would have been nearly
$10 apiece for any small number.
"Thirty or forty years ago there were to
bo hod the same gastronomic chef d'oeuvres
that now mike American dinners famous al
over the world , viz. . oysters , terrapin and
canvasback ducks. They were Just as thor
oughly appreciated by good livers then aa
now , though of course these dainties were
far morn plentiful and consequently far less
expensive. A dinner In these days mlgh
exhaust even the unlimited resources am
tbo magnificent cellars of the time without
costing more than $10 per hoi'J. The con
dltlona were so different.
"For example , there were no caterers
The cooks were negro women , some o
whom had Inherited their skill and many
of whom , were the pride of their masters
country seats and town bouses. Such
women knew the haunts and habits ot el
tbo fish , the game , the poultry , the bee
and the mutton that she was called on to
dress. She saw the vegetables and fruits
grown on her master's plantation , and knew
Just when they matured. She knew how the
beef was stall-fed , and what food was best
to glvo It the most desirable flavor. She
helped to feed the squabs and turkeys and
geese which were slaughtered at her com
mand , and she knew the fclUs where the
mountain sheep , half wild , ranged free and
fed on herbage ot their own choosing , Katu
r lly eho took charge ot the preparation of a
Kate dinner at her master's town house with
entire confidence In her own and in hU re
ources. " '

Brandy ,
On the afternoon of such a dinner , " said
Mr. Boldt , "the master of the house would go
down to hU own wine cellar and tenderly take
from the dusty bins the madeira of 1818 ,
say , and the claret that hla father had
brought over a generation gone. He would
find too , some brandy that had a history ,
and champagne that compared favorably to
any we can get now. He'd take a personal
prldo In looking after the wines tiltneelf.
"Of course , the cost of such a dinner In ' 63 ,
even In the moat expensive surroundings ,
could not have been more that $10 per head.
The cost In a private house would have been
considerably less. Ono great clement of In
creased cost now Is the terrapin , and tbo can
vasback , then so plentiful. I believe It Is
true that the terrapin supply Is actually giv
ing out today , but the terrapin farms that
are being established In Maryland and Dela
ware may go a long way toward replenishing
the supply. The food fed to the terrapin bred
In these ponds consists as far as possible of
oyster Juice and the little crustaceans the
creatures feed on In their natural haunts.
Yet there la , to my taste , a difference In the
flavor of the wild and the pond-fed terrapin. "
Hero Is a gastronomic curiosity , a menu of
the Fifth Avenue hotel the year It was
opened , before the war , when prices had not
gone up to war figures and a table d'hote
dinner of all tbo delicacies In the market ac
tually could be , and was , furnished for $1.
