that ex President and Mrs Harrison were being feted by the nobility of Great Britain and France and that General Harrison had declined a fine offer to settle In London as the repre eentatlve ot large American manufacturing Interests abroad The same tUmor added a paragraph saylns that Mrs Harrison has quickly become a Icndon favorite It Is little more than three years since tha country was astonished at the an nouncoment that ex Presldent Ilarr Sson was to marry his niece Mrs lmmlck and Immediately society set about weaving a romance The wedding was celebrated In Bt Thomas Protestant Episcopal Church New York where the famous Marlbor ough Vanderbirt nuptials took place Mrs Dlmmlck made a very fair bride to look upon notw Uhstandlng that she was Bearing the age of forty AN ATTRACTIVE WOMAN Her figure Is more girlish than matronly although well rounded and plump She Is what most people call petite In her girlhood days she was vivacious but now her sprlghtllness has teen mellowed Into a quiet dignity which well beflts th wife ot a man like General Harrison Mrs Dlmmlck iMlfe has been a sad one Her father Russell Lord and her mother separated when she was a Small child Hor early life was embittered by domestic dissensions which were ouly ended when her mother took the two llttlo girls Lizzie and Mary back to Indianapolis where the grandfather of the children Dr Scott a Presbyterian pieather lived Bhoitly after this sad home coming Dr Scott was called to Springfield 111 and there tho present Mrs Harrison ftTAW un One of the events In this house was an occasional visit from Mrs Lords sister Mrs Benjamin Harrison and her husband then a lawyer of some local repute In Indianapolis The two young gltls were Immensely fond ot Aunt Cat lie and Uncle Ben hut If anv one had then spoken ot the possibllltyof tho little dark eyed Mamie Lord being ono day the wife of Uncle lien that person wouiq nave peen assuredly regarded as the ripest subject for an lnaane asylum the world over HIGHLY EDUCATED Tho two sisters attended a private school In Sprlngneld kept by Mis Corcoran who for Vcars after never tired of talking ot Mamie Lord as the most mischievous scholar she had ever had but the mischief was all of a healthy kind the result ot a lgorous vitality and a childish desire to be always doing something It was In 1875 that Mrs Lord and the two girls moved from Springfield to Princeton and was there that Mamlo Lord met the man who afterward became bey husband The first five years tn Princeton the two sisters attended a private school kept by a Mrs MoCfatt wife of one of AYISItTOTHE FAMOUS DR SCHENK His Wonderful Dietary and Its Results in This Country and In Europe the professors of the theological school To put the finishing touches to her education she was sent for a short lime to the female college at Elmlra and on her return home she met Walter Ersklne Dlmmlck son of Bam UjlE Dlmmlck a Wealthy lawyer and one of the political powers of Pennsylvania The young people fell speedily In love but the parents of each objected to all talk of an engagement of matrimony because of their youth This was in 1179 and young Dlmmlck had not graduated from tho Columbia Law School where he was completing his education He graduated In 1880 and became a member of a New York law firm After another effort to reconcile their parents to the match had failed the two took matters into their own hands attd eloped Their marriage took place In October 1881 and In the following January the young husband was stricken ith typhoid fever and died after a brief illness Mrs Dlmmlck was a wife less than three months WIDOWED EARLY Upon her husbands death she went to Washington where her mother and grandfather had moved after her marriage Her eldeb slBter LUzle the beauty of the family had already married Lieutenant Parker ot the navy Young Dlmmlck had left a fair sized fortune tb his widow but much of this was dissipated in unfortunate investments tn suburban Washington real estate During General Harrlsbns stay In Washington as the nations Chief Executive Mrs Dlmmlck figured promt nently In society and the affairs of the White House She attended her aunt Mrs Harrison almost constantly during the letters illness and was one of the last persons upon whom Mrs Harrison looked In this life Mrs Dlmmlck a wedding trousseau was not very elaborate She has never been very fond of fine raiment tfnd seldom wears Jewelry of any kind Bhe nag married In a gown of gray silk simply made In the prevailing mode After tho ceremony she and General Harrison with less than thirty ot their most Intimate friends sat down to a wedding breakfast at the home of the bride sister Mrs Parker in 1 Cast Thirty eighth street There as little fuss or feathers about the wedding except what the people at large chose to make A later chapter was written wlien little Mary Elizabeth was born two years ago The Harrisons after her birth stayed more at home and seemed to enjoy their own noclety better than that of ntf Indianapolis which thronged to see them The Harrison trio travels considerably but no trip has been mora important nor mnie

interest to the entire world of families to know that the Bchenk treatment which has created uch a sensation In Europe has been rled In this country in a notable case in Chicago and that beat results are reported from it This settles a point upon which there has been much dispute for no matter how satisfactorily such cases may have been treated on the other side ot the ocean it was not as if it had happened at our own door It is now two years since Professor 8 Schenk of Vienna a physician of Undoubted name and repute announced that he had discovered the secret of sex Following the announcement came the statement that the Countess ot Warwick formerly Lady Brooke had been a patient of Dr Schenk and soon after there was an acknowledgement that the Duchess of Aosta had taken the course of diet and medicine prescribed by the specialist In both cases there was a male heir Although almost too short a time has elapsed to absolutely establish the correctness of Dr Schehks theories still It seems outside the sounds of possi bility that it should have Been merely a nnntiniMiin coincidence inai bu many persons fo there were hundreds besides tnese iwo cases snoma imo written to tho doctor saying that they ilMlt ed a son Instead of a daughter and that they should have had one soon after almost estauusnes me irum oi the theory that the secret hitherto con Sldered hidden should bays been dis covered THE SCHENK THEORY Dr Schenks theory expressed simply is that the blood of the mala contains more corpuscles per drop than that ot the female and that blood producing foods ot a certain sort will develop these corpuscles and lead to the formation of a male That Is the theory which has been elaborately Worked out Into a dietary and a formula for living and exercising The utmost secrecy Is Imposed upon all patients as the doctor wishes tor a time to keep the matter to himself not that he Is using It as a money maker but that he thinks he can the better control all patients if they are compelled to apply to him directly than though they to ere allowed to rush Into the matter ot dieting for themselves But who ever knew so Interesting a secret to remain sealedT Tne Countess of Warwick told her friend Lady Randolph Churchill and she told her dearest friends until It reached the Princess ot Wales who wrote the whole matter to her niece the Csarlnaand so the story which was once unknown is now pretty commonly understood The Schenk dietary forbids all saccharine foods Sugars and starches must be avoided also cold foods such as Ice creams and sweet dainties Fruits are highly recommended and meat is religiously taken three times a day as though 1C were mecucine ji we meat appetite falls the Julco Is taken in the form of bouillon consomme and vegetable soups Food must be taken Often more than three times a day a cup of bouillon being prescribed tor the middle of the afternoon and tor the evening Then there la the matter ot drinks All nrtii nf

bo much llfe glWng food requires a certain amount or action in order that It may be consumed the patient is ordered to walk a great dea1 and to exer 1 else as much as possible Dr Schenk best subject was a poor woman wnose duty It was to haul ropes which worked a great pulley night and morning The woman who had long been a charity patient consented to follow the Schenk rules and with results that gratified the great physician bej ond expression In this country where come boy or come girl all are welcome It seems hard to believe that In the old country there should be a choice in such matters difficult to realize that an earl will pay a ransom for a Coy and that the country gentleman dreams or the day When a lad will frolic over his green lawns with the little girls whom he has never prized very highly TERMS OF PAYMENTS Dr Schenk a methods are peculiar If yon were to apply to him he would write and ask you your circumstances If you told him you were well oil ha would write back and tell you that on such a date there would arrive at your home a student who would become a member of your household The young doctor would prescribe your food oversee your exercise and correct the errors in your mode ot lite He would remain two perhaps three months and would then depart telling you to communicate by letter with the home office In Vienna Dr Schenk meanwhile would have written you that no nay was expected for the treatment only the expense on me young pnysician belnr asked Experiments are possible even with this meagre knowledge of the treatment Bear always In mind that

It with pleasure that I make replr to your letter to Mrs May Preston Slosson chaplain of the Wyo mlng State Penitentiary which same has been referred to me Mrs Slosson having some delicacy towards answering the questions propounded Before answering the questions I de sire to State how the appointment Ot Mrs Slosson was consummated During tho past two years even while we had a very efficient chaplain Mrs Slosson has shown a great liking tor tho spiritual welfare ot the prisoners confined In this prison and has at different times during that period lectured to them on topics which were both In teresttng and instructive and her pres fence at the prison we could see was a beneficial one falsing the moral standard ot all who were brought into contact with her and at the same time we noticed that wljenshe was here the prisoners seemed to be anxious to attend chapel Instead of attending as a matter required by the rules of the prison When our former chaplain left Laramie It was without a moments hesi tancy that vtha position was jjrtere ift Mrs Slosson and we are very glad to say was accepted by her You ask how she Is succeeding She Is succeeding beyond our utmost hopes and her success Is very nollceabla in tho general conduct of the prisoners An inmate is at all times prone to do wrong and it hurts them mora when called to account to think that Mrs Slosson will know than anything else Sho Is a lady commanding the respect and admiration ot all with whom she comes Into contact and as such demands the resbect of all the prisoners There Is not the least doubt In any of our minds that through Mrs Slosson there will be done a great deal ot good Do the inmates seem to like a woman chaplain They do She at all times makes divine services a pleasure to attend and while she Is not an ordained minister ot the gospel she is a lady who can preach a sermon that far excells any preached here by any ot our former chaplains She Intersperses the services with music vocal and instrumental has select readings and holds the attention ot the Inmates front the opening ot service to the closivjto terest never flagging There is In all men an toarffTT respect for a lady and where can that respect be brought to more practical use than in the appointment ot such as a chaplain ot an institution of this klndT They receive spiritual admonitions with more good will coming from a lady than they will the same from a man Do you think the idea would be a good ono In this part of the country jhls Is a hard question to answer We can only speak from our own stand points The success depends upon me appointee In our case we have a lady adapted to the place and as such she Is a success The idea to my mind Is a good one In anv orison nrovldlnc such a lady can be found There lies the secret of the whole case Mrs Slosson took this position not from a pecuniary standpoint since there is no compensation but because she felt that she could and would do good and where a person enters upon a work In that spirit success Is bound to follow In conclusion I will say that the management of tha Wyoming State K9BSmSS PCTWUB THEM STILL FURTHBB UNTO WU BVYOND ALL DOUBT THE CLAIM WgK uini

you wilt sea her In the streets and in the drawing room whether she be chopping or making Calls oi4 out walking tor her health will wear one kind ot dress It will be rather long In the skirt with the suspicion of a train which she will allow to sweep tho floor or morea the pity the street The skirt will be most likely bordered with bands of a contrasting color for this is a border season or It may be trimmed with a rume it may be corded pr arabesqued or arrranged la soma fanciful way for there are not many piain Kins Then she will wear a tunic a long plain sweeping a flair which encloses her and makes her long and slender The tunlo will close invisibly you imagine on the side Perhaps in the front where its opening is hidden under a middle seam The back Is perfectly smooth in the strangest flattest smoothness you ever saw You look at the tightly stretched habit back and you wonder how the bustle ever existed Certainly Its day is far In the past There may be twp tunics one falling over the other And ihey are undeniably real tunica In the majority of cases In spite pt the heaviness which the oversklrts give a skirt The sham tunlo Is not worn by the most elegant dressers and so women walk under the burden ot many skirts because It fashionable The mncwnrtantariM very much In evidence in the new importations a polonaise an old fashioned lady called one of these for It reminded her ot the long polonaise days and it wilt remind you ot them also Your Princess tunlo must fit as though you were run into it as the French ladles tailors say or it 111 not be a success Many of the prettiest waist effects are obtained by the shaped belt which dips to a long point In front and is high In the back Ladles who are not pleased with the size and position of tbelr belt line can remedy the tatter at least by making the waist shorter In tns Dacic in order to give it that arils uo ana much desired fall In front The autumn stock is in no way connected with the gown It Is made of white material generally thin nlaue ana is so nttea to the neck that it hooks in the back above a tiny cape bt the white plaue which falls around the neck making a narrow yoke The shirt waist or bodice is low necked and is filled In by this pique yoke You get the Idea Why not adont itt Cut away the soiled collars from your sum mer lawns ana cambrics your ginghams and even your taffetas and fill the places with small pique yokes which look so remarkably welt set in side the waist tn this fashion An Ingenious friend ot mine took a horribly stained artichoke green cloth waist and braided it with motor red In Eton design The braid was carried round and round In curious llttlo swirls which somehow managed to strike the most glaring stains and continued on us triumphant way She used a coarse needle and ery coarse silk the color ot the braid By a little trick learned of a French braider she sewed only one edge of It down leaving tha other to Jump smartly upright This took away that disagreeably home made look noticeable upon so much home braiding NEW TAFFETAS You may have seen the smart lapels that come In linen of all colors for tacking upon the waist They give quite an artificial air of youth to a well worn bodice and renew Its spring time of lite as nothing else will quite If I were getting a new gown now I should buy a talTeta They are showing the first tal goods In taffetas and pretty they are You see a great many varieties ot the blue and White some so tight that they are called white and blue A blue taffeta with small white designs makes up very prettily In a skirt two tunics and a bodice with long point in front Or it you wish to be very up to date you can choose three tunics each a little shorter than the last and all terminating at the waist line under a belt of the narrowest black sating FASHIONABLE TUNICS One point may be mentioned In favor ot the tunic and skirt It may not be as heavy as pictured for the skirt has little fullness In It and everything Is done to lighten tho weight Tunics are made ot stripes and plaids and you see them of a contrasting ma terlal very frequently with an Eton Jacket to match the tunic which Is not like the underskirt Here comes the chance tor economy Out of two gowns you can fashion a skirt and oversklrt and a bodice and Eton The tunlo and the Eton are made i from one gown the waist and underskirt from the other The result If you have worked upon a good pattern Is good The most brilliant colors are worn In SPHe ot me enori ol inc mon laamon i Ilia VtAnnl tt Intrrtriiir fttl htttntr nnd 1 all white
