Our countess of Craven , formerly Miss
Cornell i llradley-Mnrtln , wcaro a coronet
designed 'by her mother. Women who are
rich enough to afford such luxuries as
coronets often have distinct Individual Ideas
as to their construction and have them
made to order. The countess of Craven's
diadem of diamonds , each a flawless gem ,
Is made in such a 'way that each stone ; 1 ,

on a flue spiral of gold wire , the whole sur
mounted on a crown of fllagrecd gold. It
Is said , by the way , tobe iworth $ L'50,000.
As my lady moves' about the spirals quiver

light about her.
Slnco things a la Rtisso have 'become ' so
much In vogue , the grand , dames of Eng

also , have ordered crowns for their heads I
fashioned entirely in Ruesiau fashion. This
Is a shape with which pictures of the | I
czarina have made us familiar. It Is quite' ' '
high In frcnt , sloping to the Bides and i
flares back. This style of diadem Is owned
by the Viscountess Hood and that English ! i
beauty , Lady Warwick. I
Sophie , crown princess of Greece , has a I I
beautiful coronet of turquoise and diamonds , I
one of her wedding presents from her j 1
brother , the German emperor. It Is eom- | ,
posed of three 'rows of turquoise , all superb
specimens of the gem , each separated from '
the other toy diamonds , a row of the latter !
surmounting the other stones. The largest
of the turquoise is pear-shaped and forms
the center of the dladom.
A treat coronet was made for the
countess of Castellan ! by New York Jeweler -
eler at the tlmo of her 'marriage. It Is
magnificent , being ono fiery and sparkling

The Jewels of 'Mrs. Loin ml Stanford are
famous , but they are never worn nowadays
by their owner , and It la surmised that
her will wilt bequeath them to the
university she and her husband have
founded. She has , Indeed , already sold many
and given the proceeds to the college. The
crown of all , In two senses of the word , Is
the tiara of rose-pink , yellow and white
diamonds.

Mrs. Robert GocM has a comb which Is
quite as effective In appearance as a crown ;
it Is of Roman gold , set with five beautiful
pcar-sbupcd pearls of great size. The woman
Is constantly adding to the glories of her
Jewel box ; not so much for love of gems ,

Konur Cro'dhy , Fnnioun Hymn Writer ,
ThiinkN It fur Her Memory.
"Did you think you would find mo griev
ing because I am blind1' Mrs. Fanny Crosby ,
the sightless hymn writer , asked when I ex
pressed surprise at finding her so different
from any picture my Imagination had
painted. "Ah ! my dear , loss of sight Is one
of my greatest blessings. But for my
bllndnera I should never have realized ' 80
perfectly God's mercies ; I should not have
received so good an education , nor should I
have cultivated my memory to such an ex
tent.
"I write ray hymns , as a rule , six or seven
nt < a sitting. I mean by that I compose
them and hold them In > my mind until I have
six or seven.
"My memory Is the storehouse of all my
knowledge ; ns you who retain your sight
go to the library and read a book or con
sult a dictionary to ascertain facts , I turn
a leaf In my memory , and If It has ever been
placed there , I find It. Before I was 0
years old I had committed to memory the
first four books of the Old Testament. It
was my habit In my childhood and early
jouth to memorize five chapters a week , so
now , you see , I sit here with my hands
folded , and turn the pages of my memory
bible na I compose my hymns.
"Hymn wrltlnir , In my opinion , requires
another talent beside that of poesy , for all
great poets are not great hymn writers , and
of coureo the reverse Is also true. 'My '
hymns arc written oftener from Inner sug-
gestions than they are Inspired by actual
Incidents. Though some , and many of
them the public consider 'my ' best , have
been inspired directly by striking incidents.
Now , you remember having heard 'Rescue
the Perishing. ' Well , the words came to
me like a flash. You know I teach in a
Methodist mission on Water street , and ono
night at a meeting , while Iwas leading , a
poor boy under 17 years of ace came for-
ward and asked our prayers. He had como
from the country to New York In search
for work and had been led astray. As I
listened to his story , the words of that
'hymn ' came to mo almost If not exactly as
they stand today.
"Then again , I have been very much In
need of money , and quite unexpectedly- -
celvcd Jus > . the sum I wished. ( At once
there welled up in my mind , or my heart ,
I can not say which , the words of 'All the
Way My Savior Leads Me. ' Again , 'Safe
In the Anns of Jesus' was Inspired by an
Incident which touched very nearly my
heart , but about which I should prefer not
to speak Just now. Another time I will
tell you , but not now.
"Oftcnest , perhaps , my "hymns have been
written to order. Don't be siirprlued ; hymn
writing comes ns naturally- me as prose
writing does to you.
" 'The Prodigal's Return' was written
In Just that manner. Mr. Bradbury came
to mo ono dny , saying , 'Fannie , can't you
write mo a hymn for this tune ? ' and ho
hummed the tune 'Joy ! Joy ! Joy ! there is
Joy In heaven with the angels ; Joy ! Joy !
Joy ! for the prodigal's return , ' sprang to
my lips ns ho finished , and in n few min
utes ! ho had the hymn as It stands today.
"Now , besides hymn writing my work
consists in going down several times each
week to the business place of the largo
firm who publishes all my hymns those days
nnd wltlelfliiig the woik of other hymn
winters. Wo have many In this country
who huvo done nnd are still doing line work.
The manuscripts , as they como In , are read
to mo nnd I criticise and often suggest
alterations for tuoso which my publishers
purchase.
"There Is needed something more than
a mere Jlnglo of words In order to give a
hymn un abiding llfo , There must bo some
thing wliluh appeals directly to the Chrlxt-
lan consciousness and coming forth from the
experience of the writer. So few persons ,
even though they have a talent for poetry ,
can be successful hymn wvlters , I think
chiefly because they have never learned to
feel. That 1s one of the blessings produced
by my 'lc&.i ' of sight. I feel. Rhyming

A western woman presented a friend , who
was about to leave town for her summer outIng -
Ing , wllh a wonderfully C9mpact little re-
ccptaclo for rowing materials , which , In the
recipient's somewhat limited quarters ,
proved to bo "the Joy of her heart , " sajs
Harper's Bazar. Suspended on the waif by
a nail beside her bureau , It occupied no room
needed for any other purpose and was al
ways at hand when wanted. The materials
are Inexpensive and It can bo quickly made ,
so this useful contrivance Is within reach of
every ono who can use a needle.
Cut from bronze hid a piece eight Inches
long and six Inches wide , mark on each eldo
of ono end a space two Inches long , fold to
the center and cut to the center , thus form
ing a point. The lining and pockets of the
ono referred to are made of stout ecru
linen , from which cut ono ple.ce exactly the
ehapo and size of the bronze kid , ono plcco
six Inches long and six wide , ono four Inches
long and six wide and ono two Inches long
and alx wide. Next cut a piece 'four Inches
wide and two Inches and a quarter long and
one two Inches square.
Bind with red satin ribbon half an Inch
wldo across ono of the six-Inch Bides of the
three pieces cut six Inches wide , then with
coars6 red silk , of the same shade as the
ribbon , work ono Inch from the top and an
Inch and a half from the ends of the largest
plcco at the ribbon-bound end two bars
similar to those used at the end of a but
tonhole , but with only the ends fastened
through the linen. Detwccn these bars , at
equal distances , work two more and slip a
tape nccdlo under the four.
Next make of the two-Inch square pleco
a bag , stuff hard with emery powder and
put , at tbo top a bow of the satin ribbon.
A CHARMING COMBINATION OF SILK
AND MUSLIN.
Turn a narrow hem around all four sides
of the three and a half Inch piece , hem and
work on the right tilde , with the red silk , a
row of feather-stitching. Pleat In a box-
pleat , ornament the top with a little bow of
the scarlet ribbon , and sew firmly around
the two sides and botton three-quarters of
an Inch from the left sldo of the piece of
linen four Inches fong and quarter of an Inch
below the satin binding. Slip a thimble
Into this case and fasten the emery on the
same piece of linen , atthe same distance
from the right side.
Cut from white flannel two pieces , one
two Inches and a halt wldo and one and a
half long , the other two and a quarter Inches
wldo and ono and a quarter long ; bind each
pleco with the satin ribbon around thrco
sides. Cut a ploce of linen three Inches anl
a half wldo and two long , and hind In tame
way. Put the three unbound sides together ,
the flannel underneath ; lay them lu the
center of the ploce of six-Inch linen that Is
two Inches dde ] > , before binding the side ,
and bind all together with the ribbon , plac
ing a bow In the middle of the top of the
Hap.
Hap.Now lay the bronze kid on a table , with
the wrong sldo uppermost ; place on It the
pleco of linen the same shape , next the larg
est of the three remaining pieces , the ilb-
bon sldo toward the point , then the four-
Inch , and lastly the two-Inch piece. Baste
all together with firm stitches around the
edges , then , commencing at the point , bind
firmly with brown silk braid three-quarters
of an Inch wide. Stitch on the kid sldo and
hem down on the other. A yard will bn
more than sufficient. Put a loop of brown
satin ribbon at the point , finished with a
bow , and slip a pair of scissors In a
sheath Into the lowest pocket.
It would bo advisable to cut first a paper
pattern of those pieces , putting them all together -
gothor , and thereby rendering It easier to
follow the directions. The whole can bo
made of 'the same material , If preferred , and
the art linens , bound with braid to match or
contrast , with the Initials of the future
owner worked diagonally across the back ,
might bo employed If one desired to make

"Children cannot keep still long at n

walk through fields or woods , a stroll
through orchard or garden are all In har
mony with the spirit of the day , " writes
Emily D. Strlebert of "With the Children
on Sunday" In the August Ladles' Homo
Journal. "Thero Is no better day than Sun
day In which to think kindly and lovingly
of others. Let the children gather flowers
for some old lady , autumn leaves for a
sick friend , nuts for a playmate or a col
lection of leaves of different sorts to sur
prise papa with their Botanical knowledge.
On the same principle let them work for
children's hospitals and asylums , for mis
sion schools and missionary boxes. Let
them make scrap books , cut out pictures
and etorlcs and arrange them In envelope *
or boxes. Hallow all these pastimes with
loving thoughts of the dear Father in
heaven , who wants us to be kind to His
other children who are poor , sick and neg

children comes with loving care for plants
and animals ; therefore I uhoould lot them
water garden beds and house plants , trim
up the canary's cage , make a warm , eoft
bed for the kitten and feed the rabbits
and chickens. Let children make Sunday
visits to the old , the sick and the poor.
Let them write or dictate letters to

Sunday afternoon and should never be left
out of the program. "

should start with the custom of wearing

how embarrassing for a young girl to bo
