The moat exciting and leaat edifying of the lot la that of a well known hunting countesa and her little French maid. In the paat her ladyship waa content with throwing plncuahlona, pillowa and auch mtsallea at her long-suffering attendant, but tha other day ahe aought a more formidable weapon and dashed a tumbler at the young woman. The glass broke and made a aevere cut In the girl's forehead and some of the splin ters went Into her eye. Ever since ahe haa been under the care of a specialist, who fears that ahe may lose the sight of one eye. The maid's parents were sum moned from France and they threaten to "how up" her ladyship. Everything Is being done to settle tha matter out of court, but the French peasants, realising their power over the peereaa and her husband, have emphatically declined to allow their daughter to taka anything under 15.000, and as "milady" la by no means wealthy. It Is not easy to find this sum at so short a notice. Selfredge Ara PI angers. Numerous Improvements have been made at 1?

This china has been to Buckingham palace for the inspection of the queen, who readily acknowledged she had nothing at any of the royal palaces to rival It. The Yarborough' splendid gold dinner service Is also at the disposal of their tenants. The Selfrldges are paying a fancy price for the house and Ita fur niture, aa well as a sum apart for linen and the gold plate. Mrs. Selfrldge la expected In Ixmdon from your side of the Atlantic this week. The family la spending tho holidays in the country, but are coming back to town di rectly and, if reports speak truly, there are to be numerous festivities at 17 Ar lington street during the early season. In deed, It would seem that we may calculate upon finding Mrs. Selfrldge among the greatest hostesses of next year. Hitherto she haa kept In the background In the mat ter of entertaining, at least, on anything like a large scale, and her hospitalities have ben extended mostly to her own com patriots. Yaakees scarce la London. As I write there is scarcely an American of great social Importance In London, the murky, foggy atmosphere and dreaty out look, having sent them all flying to the continent, to America, or to country houses. But It Is mostly to the sunny- south' that they have migrated. To please her solemn and patriotic duke, the duchess of Roxburghe is spending the first days of the holidays at Floors, where, aa uaual, she la dispensing hospitality and chLrily alike with a lavish hand. To all mtents and purposes In the neighborhood of Floors her grace is queen. Tho weather at this time is always arctic In Scotland and the duchess feels it very much. To din Inlsh the unpleasantness she has had double glass put Into every window in the castle this year and a new heating fcjbtem was introduced some time ago, so that she does not have to it. dure as hith erto. Directly she lias done her duty at the great feudal cattlu '.ie will fly south. Lady Suffolk Is at Charlton, which she never seems to want to leave. People who krew i-er as the gay LaUy Lclter cannot let lire how she could ever have become the dignified stay-at-home matron into which she lias developed. Her aister'a children, the Curson youngsters, are spend ii.g the holtdaya with her. Thes- little glrla ara growing with alarming rapidity. They are all pretty and extraordinarily like their late mother. Lady Maxwell Basy. An unusually large number of Americans are In Cairo or on the way just now. It Is said that I-ady Maxwell, the wife o( the governor, who is an American, being the daughter of Mr. Bonyngv, means to make the season exceptionally brilliant thla year at Government House. 8he Is ar ranging a sertea of dancea and other festi vities and Is going to have a auccession of house parties, which will be made up mostly of compatriots. Her mother and father will pay Lady Maxwell a long visit early In the new year. Mrs. Harry Hlggina Is, according to present arrangements, going to Cairo with her son-in-law and daughter. Lord and Lady Alllstalr Innea-Ker, and there ta mention of Lord and Lady Willoughby d'Ereaby also being cf tha party. Mra. Henry Coventry, who haa been en tertaining energetically all through tha shooting season at Btonor Para, is another of those who will be In Cairo ahortly. LADY MART. KING HAS NARROW ESCAPE Edward's Recent Cold Was in Reality General Nervous Breakdown, i NEUROSIS IS PRINCIPAL TROUBLE Social Ensnaretents Were Canceled and He Waa Harried to Brighton In Charge of ' Two specialists. LONDON, Jan. . (Special.)-England is Just recovering from one of the greatest scares of recent years. Although every effort has been made to conceal the real facts from the general public. It has be come known that King Edward Is slowly recovering from an extremely serious breakdown. His recent 'indisposition" was officially referred to as a "cold," but the press, which was in possession of the real facts but did not dare print them, gave ample indication of the real seriousness of the king's illness by devoting columns of space to the subject. To the unlntlated such a display of alarm over a mere cough appeared ridiculous, but In the peculiar conditions which aurround and hamper newspaper work In this country it was the only method of conveying news that could not be stated In plain terms. Steady Weakening? of System. The medlral advisers of King Edward have for some time past spent many sleep less night over his state of health. There has been a gradual but steady weakening of the system, and It is the generally ac. ccpted opinion that he would not be able to shake off any of the more serious dis eases to which kingly flesh. In common with that of the rest of humanity. Is heir to. To add to the medical anxiety neuron haa set in, and within the last year or two the king has visibly aged, to the con sternation of all thoe In attendance upon him. and extraordinary precaution have been taken to shield him from such mi:d coniplalnta as cold, chills and lnfliienxa, which it was felt might prove to be en tering wedgea for more complicated -ill- The Midwest Life A BckiUrs ReSeetlona.

When hi recent Illness set In Sir Thomss Barlow was hurriedly called In and, as an evidence of the seriousness of the case. Sir Francis Laktng was Imme diately afterwards summoned In consulta tion. After a thorough examination an immediate change of climate was impera tively insisted upon by the two famous doctors. Hurried orders were sent out, telegraphic messages were dispatched over the greater part of England and the king was bundled off to Brighton. The long string of social engagements which, as usual, were down on the king's books were cancelled with regrets. Danger Temporarily Over. Under the finest medical care in the world and tha fine bracing air of Brighton, the Atlantlo City of England, the danger of the king's health temporarily passed. 8o punctilious is his majesty In the mat ter of his social engagements, that he In sisted upon resuming them as soon as pos sible. This resulted In a relapse In his Ill ness. Ho had arranged to spend a short time at the country aeat of Lord Burton and, aa he had several times been hindered from paying expected visits to the brewery peer, he Insisted upon . coming up from Brighton and making all arrangements for keeping his latest promise. But the set back to his cure became so alarming that eventually, at the eleventh hour, the royal visit was called off and the king waa again bundled off to Brighton. One of the most conclusive evidences of the king's Impaired health is the fact that some of his official duties have been lifted from his shoulders and deposited on those of the prince of Wales. Aside from his constant round of social duties, the king is not a busy man, despite all the nonsense which tray have been written In the Eng lish press. Yet It was felt that tha dally round of routine work was a strain on his majesty and. so far as haa been possible that work has been taken over by the future king. Paper Get Private Tip. As a inatier of fact, although the Eng lish newspapers print these garbled re ports. It Is never through any ignorance or misconception of the real fact. Every big newspaper in this country has a confiden tial advirer in the circle of "high and mlghliee" who dance attendance i.pon the king and the loyal family. These "In formers" include some of the most re spected and Influential noblemen In the land. The majority of them are "down and out" financially and adopt thla meana of I adding to their slender incomes. The wrller knows of a particularly Interesting case. A well known nobleman draws $10,000 a year from one of the biggest news paper owners In England for dropping in two or three times a week and talking matters over with the editors of thla pro prietor paper. The implicated nobleman la one of tiie closest personal friends of the king. Indeed, It is common knowledge that he lost a large fortune In his younger days at games of cards In which the king held a by no meana unfortunate hand. Tacoma (Wash.). Thla la an Indication of the widespread Interest which is being taken In the exhibition, asd manufacturers of each atate seem bent on showing the world what America can produce. The governor of California with a view to securing an adequate representation of his state, has made an application to the legislature for an official grant. The Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce Is ar ranging to make an extensive display of the products of southern Callfarnla. The San Francisco Chamber of Commerce have appointed a strong committee to co operate with the United State commis sioner in securing a goodly number of exhibits from the state of California. The Colorado State Commercial association Is preparing an extensive exhibit to occupy 300x 50 feet In the Inperlal court. Although a largo space, the Ducal Hall. has been allotted to exhibits from the state of Illinois, the latest advice are to the effect that more space will be required to take In the exhitlts from Chicago nnd sur rounding districts.

Moreover, they have that per fect health which is now universally ad mitted, even by beauty specialists, to ba fundamentally necessary to good looks. It is because of these circumstances that smart women are Just now so concerned about digging. Oddly enough, it waa the princess of Wales who. hitherto, hSs never been known to do anything out of the usual, that started the new cult. Like other so ciety women, her royal highness has a hor ror of the Idea of putting on "too solid flesh," and having observed that she was unmistakably doing so, she has hsd to re course to digging.
