The art of the perfect muslin still dwells In Bwltierland and those foreign manufacturer have risen nobly to the present demand for something refreshingly Interesting. A beautiful embroidered Swiss muslin is an investment much a the black Ilk wa regarded In the old day before w all walked In silk attire. Thess muslins are not cheap, but they are very, very beautiful, and they are worth every cent put Into them. It is a sort of fad among the rich women to have lot of Bwlss things mad up, a a few years ago the rag wa for gingham. While snow is on the ground xqulslt cloudy muslins are worn as In formal afternoon-at-home dresses, and by hostesses at quiet luncheons, etc. These are mad high In the neck and long la the sleeve, and are garnished almost wholly with ribbon. A very clear notion of the "way the Swiss muslin and ribbon t brought Into harmonious connection can b gained from th sketched group of thro afternoon frocks.

MART DEAN. MARCONI'S MOTHER, Beaatlfal Irish Girl Who Married Italian Gentleaaaat. When John Jamison, th famous Dublin whisky manufacturer, decided to aend hi daughter Annie to Italy to continue her musical studies, he became unconsciously maker of history, for In th course of time as th result of bis act the girl met and married Gulsepp Marcenl and to this Irish-Italian union there was born a son who 1 now known to all th world as on of th greatest scientists and Inventors of his time. Annt Jsmlson was a beautiful, adven turesome girl In her teens. Her family was well to do and she had everything in the way of education and training that money could buy and Dublin could offer. Her father wa the founder of the house, so tar as the business which still bears hi name wa concerned, but her ancestry extended back Into the times of Scotlsnd's greatest era and her forebears were people of Influ ence and power. There is a well authenti eated atory of one of her great-great grandmothers who wss famous In her day for her Intellectual, ability, and a sort of legend has come down to the effect that she prophesied that one of her descendants would become known and honored through out the civilised world. Whether this tat ter story was Invented since the prom lnence-of young Marconi matters little certain It is that th young man haa cause I b proud of his Scotch ancestry and par tlcularly of hla mother. For hi mother has been ot more actual, though Indirect, help to hlto than can be told. She it was who encouraged him In his earliest efforts. The boy attended school si together not mor than three or. four year. It tell to th lot of hi mother to teach him and from her he learned to apeak the English lan guage, to play th piano and to get a start in th varied accomplishment which mark him how as a many-sided man. Several romances might b written about the wooing and winning of Annlo Jsmlson, but probably nons of them would be true. Mr. Marconi prefer to hid herself behind her son and to b known simply as his mother. Of her courtship and marriage she will say litUs. save that the former was a ess of tru love and the latter of pur domestic happiness. She went 1 te Italy, as has besa said, to continue her musle under better Instructors than shs could hv sees red at horn and it was dur ing her stay In Italy thst she met a dashing young Italian. The two seon discovered that they had a mutual llsUag for outdoor port; both rode well and th young man was not long in coming to th decision that he preferred the Irish girl to any of his own country. In addition there wss a very happy liking for Intellectual pleasures which they shared. Th young men was of a good family. In poasesslon of a large es tate near Bologna, the girl returned his affection and th Inevitable happened. From th birth of her elder boy ah baa another eon Mrs. Marconi devoted her life to his training. She took him with her on her travels about Italy and he accom panied her on several visits to her own people in Ireland and England. Wishing to give him the advantages of some training in English, she remained with him for two years in Bedford, where th boy attended a school and learned his letters and number. The selection of proper tutors and instruc tion tor the boy was made by his mother, simply because he wss her first thought and care now. When he began to show In terest In chemistry and electricity and to construct little Instruments, she helped him getting books and periodicals that would guide him in the right way. Indeed, wher ever a mother's care ' could poeslbly do anything for her boy, aha had anticipated the desire and thought. It was not strange. then, that Gugllelmo Marconi -made such rapid progress In his studies and became a full grown man in experience when be wa still a boy of 18. Money was spent freely for blm and every encouragement was given him In his work. Although Marconi Is constantly being In vited to all sorts of aoclal functlona and bis mother with him. both prefer to live quietly, within themselves, so to apeak. Occasionally they go together to the thea ter or call on aome friends or relatives of the family, but simplicity marks their course wherever they may be. Mrs. Mar coni Is exceedingly modest and insists on being regarded as an ordinary woman. Per haps the very fact makes her remarkable, aside irora ner single pride In being the motner of such a son. At any rate she is woman to deserve the praise of the world, and that praise aha recelvea from all who know her. GOT KHEDIVE'S DIAMONDS. Bhermsus' Daosrhter Seewred Them Despite the Heavy Datles. There 1 quite a romance connected with the diamond that are now In possession of th daughters of General W. T. Sherman. Mrs. Thorndik, on of the daughter, ha long been a favorite in Washington society. She wa also greatly admired by the khedlve ot Egypt When Mrs, Thorndlke's later, Mlnnl Sherman, wa married to Lieutenant T. W. Fitch HI majesty, de sirous of expressing his friendship tor th old warrior, selected from hia treasury dia monds valued at 1200,000, had them set as a necklace and sent the gorgeous ornament to the bride. But an unfeeling United States customs department fell upon the wedding gift and held It for a ransom of 120,000, the amount of the legal 10 per cent duty. Her was a pretty bow-d'you-do, for neither the bridegroom nor th ceneral could scrape together th um demanded. The bride wept, th newspapers gossiped and the husband grew pal with mortifica tion. But there wa naturally a sympa thetic feeling on the part of every Ameri can woman at the thought of a poverty stricken bride unable to gas upon 1200,000 In diamonds that actually belonged to her. A public subscription wss started; then th national government became Interested, and finally congress stepped In and, goaded to chivnlrou rescue by It wive and daugh ter, remitted the duty by special enact ment. Can yon not Imagine the rejoicings of the Fitches and Shermans when the splendid gem were at last placed on the beautiful neck for which they were Intended and th bride with which th. nn.r aiw.,1 fh w . t,.myA ,i iu iu wmuw State treasury T But you certainly cannot Imagine her horror when a .great, ugly brute ot a tax collector from aom Pennsyl vania county In which she lived sauntered In and demanded an annual tax more than equaling the lieutenant's salary for an en tire year! That settled It There was nothing to do but to send the white ele phant back to the kbedive. Conceive the mental condition ot an American woman obliged to give up one-fifth ot $1,000,000 in diamonds! But, if you will believe me, she wouldn't get rid of them In this way. Back they came, by return mall or something of that sort, with a brief latter from his Egyptian majesty suggesting thst the neck lace be taken apart and the diamonds di vided among General Sherman' four daugh ter, delicately Insinuating that thua the burden of taxation would not be so heavily felt. And that la bow Mrs. Thorndik hap pens to own one-fourth of them.. Prills of Faahtoa Corsage knots are usually the one note of color on a delicately shaded evening gown. To lighten a dark hall or room hang a good-elaed mirror In a gilt frame In the most conspicuous spot For travelers there are now to be found complete sets of underwear in pong silk, simply trimmed with lace ot the same color pule yellow.

In crystal are to be found some exquisite little clocks for boudoir use.

Chlfton of the same shade is utted for trimming and old lace. Boms of the daintiest pera bags are made of Dresden ngurevi taffeta outlined with spangles or tx-ads.
