They have taken up prominent places prima donna of the Munich royal opera house! Certainly the duke is exceedingly eccentric, but he has perfect taste in the matter of jewelry. I saw the most wonderful "set" necklace, pendant, hair in the boxea and stalls and have gazed insolently at the members of the famous "Ligue" whose dainty headdresses were the perfection of all tlayt was suitable and becoming.

On the other hand, the friends of the Comtesse Greffulhe have acted as though they were unaware that the 1 1 iiii.iiiaaaiiw mm swaiMawaiuwssjMMsiH on the night the king of England was I i -4to lnai- Ammmmnm m.um lhc. theatres contained persons wearing hat- answered her. My personal opinion Is that this was the right and only dignified course to pursue. However, to return to the Salon meet- Iiib. organised by the Marquise de CI Several arand dames of the Faubourg St (Jermaln circle expressed extreme Indiana! Ion at Hie utterances of Fr V'tuglian.

and strongly advoeatcd a determined resistance to interference from "outsiders" who understood nothing atrlcal! They are wonderful In material as In design, but even for Rejane I feel convinced I hat Doucet would not condescend to the theatrical. I am sending with this article a sketch of one of her newest toilets, for It was specially attractive and, though novel In design, entirely free from exaggeration. The long coat was of iriah lace, in two shades. Ivory white and palest biscuit, and the big "water Illy" choux of aatlri were in a delicate siiade of ivory. These "water lily" choux are very fasntonable combs, and a superb belt clasp, in carved mother-of-pearl, incrusted with filagree silver and adorned with small clragronflles in delicate translucent enamels which had been specially made to bis order, and also one of the most exquislt? fans; the latter had the sticks carved to Imitate a peacock' outspread tail and the tints of the enamels were absolutely true to nature.

The upper portion of Hits fan was made of covered with delicate silver embroidery. Now that everyone is en route for the seaside or for the country, there is a great "run" on complexion beautifiers. I have been told and by an authority that the house of the celebrated woman who has discovered some mixture of herbs which has an extraordinary effect on the skin, is literally besieged from morning to night. This "specialist" not alone applies certain mysterious lotions to the skin, but she also injects the juice of certain herbs! 1 suppose that, to the end of time, woman will willingly suffer In order to obtain a few extra years of seeming youth, but injections seem to me a Strong order! At this moment the herb lady is making money as fast as she likes, but 1 wonder what her clients will look like bp this time next year? The days miracles are over, and the woman who is suddenly made young may reasonably expect to grow very old, quite as suddenly! A very harmless and beneficial complexion teautifier is oat-meal, mixed with a small quantity of olive oil. This is for a sort of plaster, to be worn on the face during the hours of the afternoon siesta.

The plaster can be kept In place by a couple of soft handkerchiefs and without doubt oat-meal Is a real beauti-fier of the skin. It Is an excellent thing to use lmitead of soap for wnshinf tha face a handful taken up and Herh'ly rubbed over the cheeks and forehead. Of course oatmeal used as a beautifier must be of the finest possible kind fine almost as flour. Some French women use milk and oatmeal combined for the complexion, with the best of results, the milk being slightly warmed and used Instead of water. There is absolutely nothing better for the skin at night than milk, or fresh cream, but great care must be taken to bathe the face freely in rose water on the following morning; otherwise the skin will retain a slightly disagreeable smell of sour milk.

1JNTKNKKH leaving Paris for Trotl-vllle. but a certain Invitation, whh excited my ourinsUy, Induced me pout pone my departure. It ram trniti very prominent leu i let tr'nrlvlun society, and it wan an Invitation to attend it meeting In her aa-Ion, "to discus the late utterance of I eortfe that found it difficult to understand what the notable sermons, prwn hwl by Ki Ytiughati, In London, rould have to do with Important jn-r-sonage In Parisian aoclety, but It appear that thla clergyman had alluded Very pointedly to certain entertainment a given in Fart during the summer at monhetice the Indignation meeting. The leader of fashion in Umdon, Who haw come to be known a- "the amarl eel," have of recent yeara been attacked by word of moulh a well it In print, hut they have continued their smart" w.y. rejoicing.

They have not ewndOavende.l to reply to tb. ir accuser and when questioned on the subject they have merely shrugged their shoulders. A well-known woman writer who nil herself "Rita" wrote a series of violent art Idea about "the smart set" and their alns of extravagance, hut no one the Duchess d'Uzes in a muslin toilet literally covered with rarely beautiful hand-worked embroidery. This toilet was described by many writers on matters of fashion, and the coat of the dress was much commented on. but no one knew the real truth.

The young comtesse had heard of the great distress of a family of embroider-esses three young girls, who had lost in one day both father und mother and to help these poor young creature, and also to distract their thought from their troubles, she had herself designed the elaborate pattern on the fragile muslin, and had paid a very generous price for the work, 0 The Comtesse Creffulhe was at the salon meeting and some of her friend laughingly asked her if she Intended taking any notice of ttie persona WOuld-be leaders af fashion who had tried to laugh down her "t-igue" and who had determinedly appeared at the theatres in extra large hats. The comtesse Is at all times a very stately personage and her smile of amused contempt was quite superb. It really has been amusing, this attempt to prolong the life of the big Rejane has had a wonderfully successful season in London. She loves the English capital and has arranged to visit It several times next yet When she was passing through Paris the other day she inspected some lovely toilettes that had been specially designed for her by Doucet, and so uniquely beautiful were they that even this most spoiled and capricious of women could not find a fault. I have always said and thought that Doucet's best ideas are devoted to ftejane and to Mme Bartet.

These two notable actresses "carry" Doucet's modes in a manner which commands universal admiration. Bernhardt never even in her young days was "Doucet woman." She loved to wear eccentric and dazzling garments, and when she wore embroideries they were invariably almost barbaric in their gorgeous coloring and splendor. On the other hand. Rejane the most Parisian of Parlalen ties invariably dresses in exquisite taste. At times she wears brilliant colors as, for example, the wonderful toilet of flame colored crepe de chine, inci ed with flaw color id paillettes, which she wore at the opera I just now.

I have seen them on several screens; or tney diu cnance to anow their eye to rest on the gigantic erections of laces and feathers they gently amlled, a one might smile at an Englishman who appeured in public in the fantastic headdress of the king of Cam-bodge. A very famous Parisian jeweler whose artistic shop in the rue Royale is tilled with wonderful ornaments of the art nouveau genre has recently received some extravagant orders from the eccentric Duke Ludwig of Bavaria. Duke Ludwig is again contemplating morganatic matrimony for the third time, but before he can ally himself with the lovely young singer who has captivated his 75-year-old heart he will have to divorce his present wife! The first morganatic wife of this most extraordinary old man was given the title of Baroness von Walderaee; the second wife was Frau Antonie von Bar-tolf. ant now he announces his determination to marry Frauleln Tordek, a what they were aaylng. The meeting was becoming a little excited when an i American woman well known In Paris for the splendor of her entertainment us well as for her exquisite taste in dress, quietly stood up.

and In tha course of a moat humorous address, hogged those present to remember the famous motto of the Hell Fire club of olden days, motto which, roughly translated, reads like this "Do that which pleases you. come what may." She pointed out, very wisely, that what seemed to be extravagant expenditure often did an enormous amount of I good for trade, and as an example, she told a little story of a certain lovely young comtesee, whose marriage had nimle an Immense sensation last year. who appeared at the fete organised by lovely lace coats destined for the Casino at Trouvllle and also on the hem of some princess dresses of crepe de chine und Venetian guipure. The coat depicted in the sketch la banded In at the waist with softly folded sutir. of the same shaie as the choux t1 the sleeves are in puffs to the elbows.

I As I mentioned In my article of last week, long coats of Irish lace are absolutely the rage at this moment.

I am writing this in a lone little cabin in the wood, but never truer words were uttered; The human being possesses all the powers for creating his own happiness; It comes from within, not without. Dear soul, if you have been forsake i. you should make these suggestions to yourself: "I am perfectly Independent.

The husband came home and found his Inamorata seated right next to him at supper. He wa. amased, but his wife smiled sweetly at htm and conversed brightly during the meal, but somehow lie did not aeem to have much appetite.

At 10 o'clock the wife said to her husband, "I can't think of letting Miss L. go home alone, jus', put on your coat and go with her." He did not seem elated. Hidden deeply in every nature is a s'-eak called "original sin," and stolen fruit seems best when gotten aecretlv. but the sweetest fruit tastes like vinegar when It Is stolen with the owner's eye fastened on you at the supreme moment when you thought nobody was looking; in this case, the matter lost Its romance when the wife knw wlint was going on; but when she became i with the husband's sweetheart -A- It took all the ideality out of it. 'he matter became very commonplace indeed.

The wife had the gir! come every day. and she threw the two together continually. The husband could not stand It. and the day came when he told his wife, angrily. "If you don I quit asking her here.

I'll make you." He dropped the girl for good, thougc the wife knew that he had been infatuated unduly with her.

It will kill them by to still send forth love to an unresponsive husband. It is wicked! It Is unjust. Do this instead: Get to work to tear the roots of your lov out of the unworthy object as soon as possible. I have sten wives and mothers farV away and die because they continued to yearn after and love men who were as hard and unresponsive aa a graven image.
