KEtO SCOLDS NATIVE HOSTESSES Lord Car so a Will Seen ray Visit to Anrrlr with II U Motaer-la-Law, of Wknm II I Very t"ond. LONDON. April 18. 8pclal.)-There has oeen a flutter of excitement in Mayfalr during the last week because of a persis tent rumor that Mra. Ogden Ooelet would tske Devonshire House In Piccadilly, the town house of tha duke of Devonshire, during tha coming- aeason. As a matter of fact, tha new duka and hla wlfa would be very glad to let it, aa they will not .enter tain very much for many months to coma and can have no poaalbla uaa for tha great houae. Moreover, the rent to be derived would come In very handy to keep the new peer In pocket money, for despite tha fact that ha succeeded to' on of the largest estates In England, the enormous death duties ha will be called upon to pay In tha very near future will ba a aevera drain even on hla well-lined purse. Also ha will have to hand to tha dowager duchess a very targe sum. I hear that he la going to close indefinitely Chatsworth. his beautiful place In Derbyshire. Bolton Abbey, and hla aeat at Eastbourne. - But even then ba will not want for a considerable number of residences. Mrs. Ooelet I Popmlar. Society would welcome Mrs. Ooelet aa a London hoatesa with wide-open arms. We all remember with pleasure her entertain ments when aha was here last aummer. Clarldge's was the scene of most of those affairs. There la no doubt that with a house of her own aha would blossom out aa on of the largest and most popular hos tesses of tha season. We ahould all Ilk her to put a little "ginger" Into her daugh ter, the ducheaa of Roxburgh, who has been a great disappointment to those of us who expected her to make a big splurge when she took Stratford House, the town residence of Lord Colebrook, about a year ago. Everybody who has met th mother of the ducheaa says that when It comes to spending money freely to give other people a good time which is supposed to be th chief function of rich American women here she la worth half a doscn of her daughter. I don't know what English society Is going to do this year unless you Americans come to our rescue. The old story of "no money" Is heard on all sides and the big English hostesses of past years are going to be very little in evidence. This Is said to be duo to the political unrest which invar iably acts as a depressant on the social world, but no less an authority than King Edward himself haa put It down to down right meannesa on the part of the native wo men. Not very long ago hla majesty lec tured very severely two of the leadera of English society and ended up by telling them 'that "It was their duty to make things hum socially." Then he added: "Were it not for American women wo ahould have practically no London season a disgraceful state of affairs In a city which la as rich aa ours." Lord t'nrron to Corn Across. Susceptible girls in the United States had better watch out, for I hear that In tha very near future you are to have a visit from Lord Curson. The distinguished ex viceroy of India appears to b wrapped up In th family of' his late wife, and never seems content unless la baa the compan ahlp pf Lady Suffolk or Mra. Colin-Campbell, hla, twe American sisters-in-law. He la also devoted to Mr. Letter and it la to pay her a visit that he la shortly to cross the pond with his three little daughters and his two sisters-in-law. Mrs. Letter. Is aald to reciprocate the fondness of her aon-ln-law and, I understand, ia determined that he shall remain a widower Bo the girl who contemplates falling In love with the handsome p-er had better not communi cate her plans to the' widow of the late Chicago millionaire. Lady Suffolk ia lird Curson's chief ad viser in all the changes that are being male at Hack wood park, the magnificent aeat he recently purchased In Hampshire. He has spared neither money nor trouble and haa already expended something like 1300, 000 In Improvements. The original name of this place was Hawking park, which It owed to the fact that It was a famous place for that sport In feudal daya. Lady Suffolk Is most anx ious that her brother-in-law should re vive It. Tou will probably remehiber that the duchess of Marlborough, another Ameri can woman, waa also very keen upon re Introducing hawking when she first arrived at Blenheim palace. One of the moat ef fective picture ever made of her ahow her In the woods of Blenheim with the hawks about her. Th Qaeea'e Sonvealr.

The queen waa amazed when It waa handed to ber. "Do you really mean ma to take this beautiful thing away with me?" aha asked of her host. "I had It specially designed and painted for yovl." answered Mr. Morgan, gallantly.

He Is aa totally different from the rest of hla sex as wss the "new woman" of a decade or more ago from hers. This person ' thinks It Is the paramount, duty of women to entertain him. He takes all and he gives nothing In return save the glory of his presenoe which, he considers, pays very handsomely for all the hospital ity he enjoys. At present the ''new men" Is rampant In our midst. He ia ready to dine with each of hla women friends a doren times during the season, but he would not waste a shilling on flowers for any one of them. Hostesses who mean to do a good deal of dinner giving feel they must have men. British women are bored to desperation by their own sex. "Hen parties" are to them the last word In stupidity. This really explains in a nutshell the suprem acy of the "new man" who thinks he Is conferring an honor by acoeptlng an In vitation A well known hostess said to me the other day, "I believe the day Is st hand when we will have to pay Impecunious youths for their society.

RECRUITING POST IS DOOMED Fairness Station Near National Gal lery Will Bo Torn Don at Early Date. LONDON. April 18. Another London landmark will soon disappear and one that probably is familiar to moat traveling Americans. It Is the recruiting place for the British army near Trafalgar square, probably the oddest post of its kind kept up by any government, but one that has been maintained by England for more than twenty years. It Is situated on the side walk of St. Martin's lane, close to the National Gallery corner, and appertains to St. George's barracks. Just behind - the famous square. These barracks are to be torn down to make room for the new wing of the gallery and when the work of de molition begins the sergeants who hang about the corner on the lookout for new material for the British army will seek recruits elsewhere. On the iron fence which here Intervenes between the gallery and the sidewalk hang billboards on which are depicted In bril liant colors the various types of the British army. Below these various figures are printed the requirements of the particular branch of the service represented. Its pe culiar advantages, the rates of pay, etc., concluding with "God t Save the King" In big type as an appeal to patriotism. The recruiting force on duty varies according to . the needs of the army,. When any branch of the army. falls so Xar below Its complement as to make canvassing neces sary, sergeants, selected for their stalwart physiques and persuasive powers, are sent to tills corner with Instructions to bring In all the "rookies" they can get hold of. Aa for every accepted candidate the War of fice divldea a bonua of 5 be tween the aergeanta engaged In re cruiting for the arm in which he enlists, the wearers of the chevrons need no urg ing. No sooner does a likely looking youth stop 'to look at the pictures than the ser geants pounce upon htm. much aa do the "ropers In" for aome cheap clothing atore in America when a prospective customer appeara In atght. He is beguiled with stories of the glorious opportunities which the army offers a poor man to see some thing of the world. He Is told of 81 r Hector Macdonald and other famous soldiers who have risen from their ranka. He Is re minded that with 2 or S a week aa a dead sure thing and food, clothing and ahelter found, the soldier la really much better oft than the average hard-fisted toller in civil life with whom employment Is of uncertain duration and the necessity of providing himself with ' board and lodging Is ever present. It Is only when a youth looks as though he would be able to paas the doctor, how ever, that the sergeanta really let them selves out to capture him. I So expert have they become In aislng up raw material that they can tell at a glance whether a man possesses the necessary physical qualifica tion to don the king's uniform. It Is said to be a poor day when the staff does not bring in eight or ten who will pass muster. From this Trafalgar square station more recruits have been obtained than from any other post In the kingdom. But deslpte all the efforts made to make the army popular nearly every branch of It is at . present below its full strength. , LInevltch Serloaaly 111. ST. PETERSBURG. April 18.

PLEASAOT OUTLOOK FOB WHITES Nord Alexia Might Bo Able to Carry Oat Sara a Threat Idea, of For elsa - laterfereaeo Irri tate Hint. PORT AU PRINCE. Aprjl It After a good deal of Investigation and the sifting of scores of rumors the foreign residents here, Including the diplomatic corps, seem to hsve come to the conclusion that Presi dent Nord Alexis made no threats against foreigners during the recent crisis until after the arrival of the British cruiser In defatigable. That even alarmed old Alexia and. according to verified reports, he did get a bit violent The old man declared that he would not stand for foreign Interference in the affairs of the country, and that If the Indefatig able landed bluejackets or marines they should be attacked. Then he said that If let alone by outsiders he would govern the country peacefully and that all would be well, but that Just as soon as foreign forces were landed or there waa any Inter ference with the government of Haytl he would take step that would make the name of Alexis remembered by whit peo ple for all time to come. It would b a bloody page fi Jilatory. according to the general understanding of what Alexis said, and no one seems to doubt that he meant It. , That he Is perfectly capable of making history In this fashion Is beyond question. Some of the people here In Port au Prince believe that the president Is afflicted with a kind of homicidal mania. When he Is displeased with an official, politician or citizen he flies Into an uncontrollable rage and in his fury declares that tho offender must be ahot Instantly. And that Is what has happened to a good many. Sometimes his subordinates calm him, and aa soon as the burst of temper has disappeared he Is less bloodthirsty. If Alexis should ever decide to take ac tion against the whites he could find means to execute his purpose. A standing threat to the safety of the town Is a regiment of soldiers around the palace. These are the president's personal guards. They come from the north, from the cape. Alexia' own home, and they are very faith ful to him. He calls them his braves. A more bloodthirsty set doesn't exist In the Island, or probably anywhere else In this part of the world. It la upon theae men that Alexis depends, and they are quite ready to do anything for him. Their reputation la of the very worst, and Alexis holds a trump card In having them around. At a ward from him they would kill all the foreigners, burn the town or do anything else. . But It Is very unlikely that they will ever get the word. Experience of Refnsjees. The German cruiser Bremen sailed one day for Kingston with seventy-five refu gees on board. When the massacre of March 16 took place those refugees fled to the French and German legatlona. They had been there ever since, fearing to step outside th legation grounds. Th government declared that ther waa no reason for their staying under foreign protection and that they should go to their homes. They asked ' permission to depart from the Island. - At first this was refused, but later the government decided that they could either go to their homes within twenty-four hours or be exiled forever. All chose exile and were shipped to the German warship. The pier waa crowded with friends and relatives of the departing persons. Some of them have been prominent In public life here. It Is not likely that they will stay away from Haytl very long. When Alexis dies or Is overthrown these exiles will feel themselves free to return. As the fright over the expected slaughter of white people subsides it becomes clearer that there was a whole lot of hysteria in the affair. The French and the German diplomats seem to have been more excited and alarmed than any of the others, and some of the things which were reported to foreign offices on the continent were doubtless considerably, exaggerated. Warships Were Needed. . One American her whose position Is such that his opinion Is well worth noting says that he was never certain that It was really necessary to send for the warahlps, and that while there was a possibility of trouble for foreigners, there was nothing really tangible in the rumors that flew around so thick and fast at the tlm of the scare. " Germany and France, If the Ideas of those governments are reflected here with accuracy, are not very enthusiastic over the position taken by the State department In Washington. The German minister, the French minister and the British consul general all made alarming reports to their governments. And the governments were greatly agitated, while the State depart ment and the legation here remained calm and cool. The minister of the United States did not make a demand on Washington for war ships, but Washington sent them anyway. Just because warships of other natlona were on the epot. Just now the blagtst reason for keeping the American warships here is the fsct that Germany, Great Britain and France have men-of-war on hand and U wouldn't do for the American government to be unrepresented. The diplomats here recently sent home suggestions about keeping warships around Haytl permanently. The Mea was that there ahould be one ahlp of aome national ity In these water at all times. Germany heartily favored this plan and auggested that the Bremen take the flrat trlrk. The plan will probably not meet with enthusiasm In Washington, where It ia not likely that the Idea of foreign warships doing police duty In the western hemi sphere wilt be welcome. America, of courae, is capable of patroling these waters. Fosltloa Is Delleate. The position of the United . States la rather delicate. Like almost all the coun tries In South America, and Central Amer ica Haytl has a deep suspicion of th Amer ican government. Thef la an Idea here that sooner or later Washington will want to absorb all of the Weat Indies and that Haytl will be the firat to go. The officials here watched our program In Santo Do mingo with great alarm. They know well enough that th United Statea may some day be forced to take the same course with Haytl. Various persons here feel a certainty that soms time, and possibly soon, th American government will take charge of the ustoro houses of the country and ad minister th finance Just aa It la now doing In Santo Domingo. The Haytlan debt la very large and practically all of It la held by outsiders Germans, French. Americans and English. Tha value of the native money haa de preciated greatly. A gourde, th unit, waa once worth more than an American dollar. Today on may buy alx and a balf gourde for a dollar gold.

DECADENCE OF THE TALL HAT Passing; of the Venerable "Stovepipe" .Noted with Beflttlaa; Sabs. There Isn't sny further doubt about the decadence of the silk hat. For two hours I sat in the window of the Lotus club on Fifth avenue, Manhattan, and watched for silk hats. Rarely was more than one In slirht at a time, although . the splendid thorough fare was crowded with people! Practically speaking, he derby has driven out the tall silk hat as thoroughly aa English sparrows have banished the blue birds from our public parks. In London, "dear, old London," a man ia expected to wear a tall haf in all weath ers and with all sorts of garments. Noth ing Is more common than to see a Lon doner with a suit of Scotch tweed and a silk hat upon his head. Here the code prescribes otherwise. The only times In which a New Yorker may with propriety wear a "tile" Is when he is attired in a frock coat tPrlnc Albert) or a full dreas (evening) ault. It is not properly worn with a so-called "Tuxedo Jacket," any more than It would be with a smoking Jacket. Indeed, tha ''Tuxedo" Is a nondescript garment which a properly dressed gentleman never puts on outside his library. Young men who are asked out to dinners should remember this fact. Not a few of the careless ones have wondered why they have been stricken from dinner lists of friends who knew the shabblness of th "Tuxedo." Far better to wear an after noon walking coat than a 'Tuxedo!" An appearance In the former may be suscepti ble of explanation. One may have been pressed with professional duties that ha could not go home to redress. Any one of a doxen "white lies" might explain, al though explanation, under any clrcum siances, never should be tendered. But when a guest appears at a dinner where there are ladles he might better have come with an unshaven face or wearing a red neckerchief. He convicts hltnaelf. He has been home, has had time to redress, but didn't know enough to comprehend that he la offering a slight to his hostess. It is wholly a matter of opinion as to the propriety cf wearing a "Tuxedo" Jacket at a "stag" dinner. A man's verdict U always open to argument or appeal. Harry Lehr. for a time, affected the habit of re ceiving the men callera at Newport in the forenoon arrayed in pink pyjamas. He did so until one of his guests peremptorily or dered him back to bed. Then he saw the folly of his eccentricity which didn't have the merit of eccentricity, but waa an unin tentional affront to his caller. The apparent cause of the decadence of the "stovepipe" hat la the inability of the average American to keep his headgear In decent shape. London haa the worse climate, taken' all year round, known to this world; but, somehow, the Briton al ways appears in public wjth an unruffled "top hat." In this country the fur never goes back to Ita place after once encoun tering a rainbtorm or mist. A London fog appears to add life and lus ter to the silk nap! That New York men are better dressed than Londoners goes without saying. Even the English admit this Incontestable fact. But the marvelous art of keeping "a shine" on a silk hat Is lost to us. What hatter will rediscover It and profit thereby ? Julius Chambers lu Brooklyn Eagle. DAYS MORE. 3 33 u uu POLITICIANS LIRE SARDINES Members Crowded Into Benches in Hall at Westminster. LACK ' OF E00M KEENLY ' FELT Dy So Process Conld the Hons of Commons Accommodate Store Tbaa Two-Thirds of Members." LONDON, April 18. (Speclal.)-Conslder-able surprise haa been expressed this aide of the water at tho recent proposal of Representative Boutelle of Illinois to re move the desks now provided for the mem bers of the house of representatives and replace them with benches as In Uie .Eng lish House of Commons. The general opin ion here seems to be that, from the stand point of the members themselves the American arrangement is vastly superior to the British. The palatial freedom of the legislators of the United States has been long envied by the lawgivers of Great Britain, who have always- complained of the sardine method of packing politicians which obtain at Weatminster. But I understand that the American body Is suffering from a lack of space and some change is absolutely necessary In the near future. As a matter of fact, the Houae of Commons Is suffering from the very same complaint. It has been up agalnat this problem for many, many years and perhaps it will cheer Mr. Boutelle anl his associates who are troubled by the growing numbers of the body to which they b?loni to know that despjte this overcrowding the English body haa manage! to scrape along very well. Seating; Capacity Too Small. By no process of aqueexlng or conden sing could the House of Commons hops to provide seating room for the 670 member who compose it. To be exact the Itmit of its seating capacity la Just about two thirds of its membership. Except, however, on very rare occasions Its seating arrange, meuts are seldom taxed to their utmost. At the present time., however, the crowd ing of the house Is worse than at any time previous because of tho huge majority of the Liberal government. The house Is dlt vlded Into two equal pans one for thi government and the other for the opposi tion. It haa for some years past been the rule of the Irish members, whether they supported opposition or government, to take their placea on the benches of tha former Thlahas balanced matters a little. In the house of representatives each member has hla particular des anj he alone haa a right to ait at It, but in the House of Commons no member Is entitled to a seat with the exception of ministers or ex-ministers unless he has been present at prayers. Prayers do not begin until t o'clock, however, snd on daya when there la apt to be a big crush many members are unwilling to watt until that advanced hour of the day to make sure of their seats. That Is the case on the opening day of a session when there are aure to be many who are excluded because of a lack of room. At the opening of Parliament this year several .nembera arrived at 1 o'clock a. m., although the ceremonies were not slated to begin until early afternoon. Hat Holds the Heat. Of course, in a case like that a member Is not expected to remain all morning In the seat he haa secured. The general prac tice Is to leave one's hat behind and go one's way until about noon time. The hat is recognised in Parliamentary manners as giving a member a sufficient claim to a seat, a a portmanteau does In a railway carriage or in a steamboat. Borne of the members even go so far as to keep twa RETIRING FROM DUSITJESS PIANOS HEW YORK INTERIOR PLAYER PIANO Can change instantly for hand playing, mahogany case, colonial model, stool, bench and 24 rolls of music, all brand new and fuly warranted.

Will be on sale Monday for only On terms of $10.00 down k hats one of them always Jn his Idcker In the house. Sometimes when a member is not able to get down early himself b can ask a friend to place his hat on. a seat. That, However, ia hardly sanctioned by Parliamentary etiquette, but it Is fre quently resorted to by elderly members who do not feel equal to getting up In the small hours of the morning A familiar sight to be seen in the vicinity of the Houses of Parliament is a bare headed member walking from the big pile of buildings that front the River Thames to his lodgings, having left his hat on the bench he desired to occupy that even ing. Parnell, the famous Irishman, was one of thpse in the habit of doing this and Labouchere. the editor of "Truth," was frequently to be seen walking to the apartments he occupied near the ' house, with a small smoking cap perched on the top of his head. The seata of the House of Commons are not very satisfactory after one gets them. They are sadly in need of repairs and are very uncomfortable, especially after one haa sat on them all night. In this respect, however, they are far superior to those of the House of Lords. The springs of the latter are said to be worn out, but with the House of Commons, which handles the puree strings of the nation. In its present humor there does not seem to be much chance of bettering the comfort of "Mi Lords." Of course, one of the worst features of the English arrangement, as compared with the American, is that no member having a fixed seat there Is no opportunity for ad miring constituents to place floral tributes on them. The English lawmaker has no place to store his choice cigars and no chance to tip his chair and cross his feet at a level considerably higher that his head. What the loss of these privileges will mean to the American legislators, should the proposed change be made, la only a' matter of Conjecture, to be sure, but certainly should be a matter for con sideration.
