Mr. Guy Dennett, until further notice. An English actress somewhat startled her women friends last winter by Scotch whisky and soda in the form known as highball, with her afternoon tea. A bottle of whisky as well as a tin of biscuits occupied a )lce on the lower shelf of her table. and the men who dropped in afterward were served with the beverage and peeiued to enjoy it as a substitute for the tea and lemon which fashion has decreed to be the drink of the afternoon. The explanation that while English-1 men aro fond of afternoon tea as pre- j llmlnary to the late dinners of London, j she found that Americans din not take kindly to it, and she had planned her menuc with an eye to their entertainment. Certain it isthat this drink has gained popularity with women as well as men. some fair dinner givers serving It from the oysters to the cheese ht their Informal entertainments. lire is no doubt that as a lure for masculine guests at teas the presence of the highball with the samovar and sandwiches of brown bread will prove powerful The tea givers in the Studios have included Jamaica rum in tholr tea services irom time immemorial, but the mixture has not found anv extreme tavor.

The style of type selected by the leading stationers for their patrons this season is shaded old English. While not so ornate as German text this type Is much less austere and businesslike than the or plain block letters, which have obtained generally during the last two years. "Among a very large class, the staid, settled men ana women of affairs." said tne head of the stationery department of a Uroadway jewelry store, "script cards will always be preferred. The fashlbnable worm and Its servile imitators are slavishJv desirous of fol lowing In Mme. Croesus' footsteps and seized upon the block letter roman type after differentiating the old-time script by shading variously, and adopting paper of tissue consistency. "When nearly the whole world and his wife adopted the roman. ue ultra sft demanded something new, and the shaded old English just being put on the market is the result. Few engravers can do thW work satisfactorily, while they may be experts on script or roman. "In onnspntipnro l.io cost to custom ers will be much greater than heretofore. For instance, a card plate not exceeding fifteen letters in script costs only half as much as in the new shaded old English lettering. "The cardboard is a trifle heavier than uie tlimsy paper of two years ago. but not as stiff as the old standard. Both white and light gray cardboard will be used this winter. The latter is the newer. "Many men who prefer the block lettering are ordering their fall supply of visiting cards in roman, with the address or club in gothic letters, as formerly, and women who still like that style are having their day at home added in gothic, the same as last season. So many women make a mistake in ..eating flannel with the consideration due a finer fabric Manv of my readers send samples of French flannel and ask that I design for them a "dressy" waist for the theater or for the dinner table at home. Now the handsomest quality of flannel is not for evening wear, nor is It for lace and collars and revers of general adornment. It is the most fashionable thing one can wear (provided roundings of an uncivilised, tropical countrr should have found it citacuu to adapt himself to the change is not j altogether a matter of surprise, but j we regular soldier has fareo little better. Experience and investigation has shown that much of the sickness in the Philippines is attributable to the matter of. diet Like the British, we are essentially a nation of beef eaters. In our own climate this" may be well enough, but in the baking heat of the equatorial regions it will not do. The soldier ought to be as readv to feed bis "inner man" with a proper regard for the conditions that surround him as he is to lighten his raiment to snit the temperature. This is the plain logic of it, yet it seems that the lesson has been learned only at the cost of dire experience. It has been shown, for instance, that sugar in its various forms is an admirable food product for the tropics. Notwithstanding the soldier's ration is fixed by law. and does not embrace this' the war department has found a means for its general introduction. Candy and chocolate of American manufacture are now to ba had at all the commissaries in Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippine Islands. Soldiers buy it in large quantities, and already its good effect as a restorer of lost energy, with a minimum tax upon tne digestive system, are apparent. In the language of a recently returned army surgeon. prodigal supply of, sugar cane and low heat producing but nourishing fruits in the tropic lands would seem to indicate their peculiar adaptability for the particular requirements or the inhabitants of hot zones. The bee and the colibri. whose marvelous endurance is the wonder of physiologist and philosopher, derive their almost exclusively from sugar." Astounding as it may seem, sugar has come to be an admirable article of diet for thp horses when similarly placed. Quite by accident the discovery was made, and now molasse5? is fed to them with their hay. The sick ness which had been prevalent among them thereupon "disappeared almost as if by magic." Four to five tons of candies and chocolates are being shipped twt month to the Philippines alone. The other dav one of the transports took over a consignment of 2,000 pounds in twentv varieties of the toothsome appetizers, packed in such a way thnt the soldier on the other side of the hemisphere will have no cause to enw -is brothers on this side at least not in this particular. Step by step as we study the great problem of supporting an army in the tropics, we shill solve it. I li I The Moths Did It.

The fitness of fabrics is sometnlng everyone should stuay, and one thto begins the game of fashion with an exceedingly good knowledge of how to play. Yonng girls can take white flannel waists and pat nuge sailor collars on them, edged with gold braid, and a tucked chemisette and collar of white China silk, then ias.en them with gilt buttons, but that is a privilege allowed to you in all fabrics. A young matron of 30 years who thus "adorns her flannel waist puts it out of touch with modish garments; ?t is then really nothing, but hangs between day and evening as Mahomet's coffin did between heaven" and earth. The fishing party given at the residence of Mr. W. R. Castle last Saturday evening was a raost enjoyable affair. - Mr. Addison Mizner is progressing rapidly with his work at the government building.

Lemonade was sold between the acts, served by Mrs. Hasson. Mrs. Hawes and others all for sweet charity. The ribbon for the programs was donated by different shops.

TRAGIC UFE OF IHE WML OF LQRD BEJCOfilflD'S "CM" jCKocx:xoxc mf rhf Earl of BeaconsSeld could arise from his tomb in Westmin ster Abbey to rewrite the naai chapters of "Lothair," with what mingled feelings he would contemplate the close of that groat drama of real life which his jew eled pen transferred to the storehouse of English literature. N,ot even his florid imagination could find anything lacking in the circumstances surrounding the death of his Lothair. the Marquis of Bute, with all the feudal pomn surrounding that great obsequies and the romantic coloring of the crowning act whereby his heart is buried in Jerusalem. But the other side of the picture the old age in exile of Mgr. Capel, the Catesby of "Lothair" what would Disraeli have said to that? If he could indeed issue from Westminster Abbey, and, guided by the legal disposition of the departed nobleman's bequest of $500 a year to the one-time Beau Brummel of English Catholicism, rediscover Mgr. Capel on nis California ranch, one is tempted to believe that he would write a new romance with the once famous priest for a central figure, and that it would be a wondrous sermon on the vanity f earuily things and the snares of ambition. v .S J Mgr. Capel the Right Rev. Thomas John Capel. D.D. has been lifted from recent obscurity by the bequest of the Marquis of Bute, leaving him an annu itv of S"T00 a vear. The veil has been lifted and a record of brilliant achievements once more dazzles the world's imagination. Once a favorite of the pope, but now under the ban of the church; once the companion of English noblemen, but now a simple ranchman in California, once the foremost figure in the Catholicism of Great Britain, but now almost forgotten; once the idol of the fashionable world, but now an object of sympathy, Mgr. Capel has had a wonderful carer of strong contrast, a life af mingled joy and bitternes. His triumphs and misfortunes shame the Inventions of fiction, and memories of his greatness are rerfved by the incident which recal some of his noble achievements. Mgr Capel converted more prominent Englishmen to the Roman Catholic faith than any other priest in any centurv. The conversion of the of Bute in 1SG8 startled the religious world, for he was considered an irreconcilable opponent of Catholicism. Mgr. Capel was about 32 yearsof age at the time, and before his thirty-fifth year he was credited with having "reconciled' more than 500 English Protestants of prominence to the Catholic faith. He was a social as well as an ecclesiastical lion, and in "Lothair" Beaconsfield has used him as thf h.ise for the character of Catesbv. while the Marquis of Bute is supposed I THE WMLY HAEDLY A THING' THAT YOU GOULD WISH FOR - . .

He was born in Starting with a good education, he decided to entsr the priesthood, but suffered frequent tnteruptions on account of poor health. his ordination the climate of England drove "him to the south of France for the winter, and at Pan. where he established a mission church for English visitors, that he entered upon his triumphal career. Endowed with a voice, a presence, an eloquence, a persuasiveness, a zeal, a gracious manner and all the other qualities which go to make up the mysteriously attractive power generally called personal magnetism, the young priest drew many of the fashionable English visitors to his services. His engage ing personality won him friends amonc the aristocrats, amons Protestants as well as Catholics, and on his return to London he found the doors of many great houses open to him. Astute, cautious and politic, ho was careful not to be too obtrusive with his religious doctrines, and his social and intellectual mm?f him n rnmnnnlrm of rare ,z. ""v.."

He exorcised a singular fascination and women especially were" susceptible to the spell. While the conversion of the Marquis of Hute was considered his most achievement, he counted Lady Jane Hastings, the Duke of Norfolk and Prince Doria among his triumphs. fc.ven the pope was pleased with tne geniality and the genius of this wonderful young priest, and honored him by appointment as a domestic prolate of the papal household, with the rank of Monsignore. j .: . When the pope put the universities of Cambridge and Oxford under the ban Mgr. Capel conceived the Idea at founding a great Catholic university in London The undertaking proved too great and involved him In disaster, but an investigation oy the pope and a committee of cardinals acquitted the projector from all charges ot wrongdoing. The failure of the school about 1873 preyed upon his mind and he somewhat Indiscreet in his attention to the wine cup.
