lias a hotelkeeper the right to discrimi
nate against a woman cyclist because she
wears "rational" ;ittire?
Tliis is the question which has been
agitating London ami indeed the whole
of the cycling public in England for the
last few weeks, and, although it has re-
Bulted in a court trial and a verdict has
been rendered by a jury, the question is
far from being settled. The jury was in
structed that it was not to pass on the
Question of bloomers or cycling at all;
that it was to concern itself solely with
the right of an innkeeper to dictate to a
B4 eker for refreshments what room she
tOiall be served in. The jury determined
that the innkeeper had that right and the
against whom the
was brought l>y the cyclist was dis
charged. But the battle is not yet over
and is si ill being hotly waged in Engllsn
journals, both secular and cycling.
The fact that it was a member of the
l- rage, Lady Harberton, who was sub
jected tn the Indignity of having the cor
rectness of her costume called into ques
tion by an Innkeeper may have had a
great deal to do with the interest dis
played in the case. Had the complain
ant been the wife of a mechanic or
tradesman it is every way possible that
the public would not have become so
much stirred up over the question. But
Lady K&rberton! That was a very dif
ferent proposition, and the matter soon
assumed national proportions. Lady
Harberton, to begin with, is treasurer of
the National Dress Reform league, and
lt.s members on all possible occasions
wear what is known in England as "ra
tional" attire— that is, loose bifurcated
skirts reaching to the knees or perhaps
a bit below— much the same as the ordi
nary divided skirt which so many women
cyclists wear in this country.
REFUSED TO ENTERTAIN HER.
In October last Lady Harberton was on
a cycling tour in Surrey, as she is an
enthusiastic rider and has covered more
than 4,000 miles in the last two years.
At luncheon tide she went to the Haut
boy, an inn kept by Mrs. Mary Jane
Bprague, at Oekhum. Mrs. Sprague mot
the cyclist at the door and told her that
she could not be served in the coffee room
in that costume, the coffee room being set
aside for the use of women. Lady Har
berton was told that she would have to
eat In the bar parlor, where several men
were smoking and drinking. After tak
ing one look at that room she refused and
went on to another inn, where she was
served without question, and afterward
she instituted proceedings against Mrs
Sprague for refusing to serve a traveler
seeking luncheon. Last week the case
came to trial at the Surrey quarter ses
sions, Lord Coleridge, Q. C, represent
ing the petitioner, which legally was the
Tourists Cycling club, that body having
?VUl P ~ hC fight f ° r Lady Harberton.
LADI Harberton went into the box
cool and determined, to tell her story'
She was dressed irrationally— If that ie
the opposite of rational-just like any
other lady. When the time came she
produced a photograph of herself as she
was on the day of the incident. The fea
ture-or features-of the costume were
long and wide, after the principle of the
divided skirt.
She said that on Oct. 27 she was out
cycling, and she went to the Hautboy
for lunch. Mrs. Sprague came to the
door, and said she could not be admitted
In that dress. "But," said witness, "I
have come from London. I am hungry
and I must have some luncheon."
Then said Mrs. Sprague. "you must
have it in another room. You cannot
nave it In the coffee room."
DEMANDED HER RIGHTS.
"I said I didn't mind what room I had
it in, but as I was a member of the C T
C. I expected to be served on the usual
terms. 'In that case," said Mrs. Sprague
you must come into a room on the other
f=Kle of the bar. 1 I »aid I didn't care*
where I went, so long as I had luncheon,
hne replied that she must serve me if I
insisted, but she would much rather I
went away.
"When l had placed my bicycle In the
yard Mrs. Sprague opened a back door
and took me through a bar where work-
Ing men were drinking, into another room
where two men were smoking, and there
I had lunch. It smelt of tobacco and
Bplrits, and all the horrors of a drinking
bar. and I am certain that if the Jury had
been there that day "
But the Jury were not anxious to hear
•what would have happened.
1 s;iid I could not stay there; the men
were smoking pipes. Mrs. Sprague did
not offer me a table; she did not stay for
ciders. I came out and saw her, and
B.i id I could not possibly stay there. She
said It was the cn!y room she was bound
# to give me, and it was all I should get
I said I would write to the C. T. C, and
ehe replied that she did not care. I rode
off to Cobham and had lunch there in
the- coffee-room without the slightest
trouble."
Mr. Avory began his cross-examination.
Had Lady Harberton any particular ob
ject in visiting the Hautboy that day?—
None, except it was a nice run. No idea
of finding a test case?— None whatever.
Yes, but she was the treasurer of the
Rational Dress league, and the Rational
Dress Gazette was Its organ. The Gazette
BaM that, "beyond sending out test cases
to obstreperous landlords, the league can
Oo but little." But she had nothing to
do with the statement; and hers was not
designed as a test case.

about it, except as an individual member.
Have you worn yours on every possible
occasion?— l have worn it in snowy
weather, but as a rule I only wear it
while cycling, and I have cycled about
4,000 miles in the last two years.
Eever been to church in it?— No.
The theater?— Now, why should I?—
When I go to the theater I go in evening
dress.
Well, why not go in evening dress made
on "rational" principles? They would
not admit you.
I thought not. Well, they would not ad

stalls.

count to wear rational dress. ' Why?

fair to Mrs Sprague. It might be too
much In our favor!" Mr. Avory tried to
counter, but his remarks were lost in
laughter.
The whole dispute was as to whether
you should be served in the public coffee
room? —No, it was as to whether I was
to be served in a dirty, reeking, bar
parlor or a decent room. I never saw a
respectable woman sitting In a bar-parlor.
What kind of treatment does a lady in
rational costume expect at a hotel?— E
xactly the same kind of treatment as a
lady in ordinary dress.
Lord Coleridge came back to the theater
and Lady Harberton said she would as
soon think of cycling in a theater dress
as going to the theater in cycling attire.
'•There would be no sense in it!" said her
ladyship with decision, and so left the
box.
The secretary of the cycling club fol
lowed my lady on the witness stand, and
allowed that the bar-parlor of the Haut
boy was no good place for a lady to
lunch, and after some skirmishing over
the rules of the club and "test cases" Mr.
Avory, counsel for the defense, asked for
dismissal on the ground that no case had
been made, holding that Mrs. Sprague
had not refused to serve Lady Harber
ton, but had exercised her right to say
in what room a guest should be served.
"But," interjected the chairman of the
sessions, "suppose the Innkeeper said, 'I

Mrs. Avory thought that was reductlo
ad absurdum and let it go at that. He
declared the Dress Reform league was
simply looking for advertisement in
bringing the case. Mrs. Sprague, the
Innkeeper, was called and declared that
Lady Harberton had stated the main in

men working-men. One was a retired
architect, another a gentleman of Inde
pendent means. She had admitted ladles
in rational dress to the coffee room when
they brought skirts with them and put
them on, but on no other condition.
Had Lady Harberton been in ordinary
dress she would certainly have admitted
her to the coffee room. "As an inn
keeper I have no right to make a remark
about the dress of my guests, but I have
a right to consider my business. Lady
Harberton and her friends are beyond re

certain people and another for others.

and I should lose all my good people,

Therefore, I draw the line at rationals In

AN UNFEELING JURY.
The waitress said Mrs. Sprague In
structed her to serve lunch for Lady Har
berton; the chairman of the parish coun
cil save the hotel an excellent name, and
said the bar parlor was as good as need
be. He had seen girls having tea there,
and they preferred it, because it was
cozy. A photograph of the room, handed
to the jury, showed it in the light of a
very comfortable apartment.
At last the speeches. Mr. Avory said
this was not a case as to whether a lady
should or should not be allowed to wear
rational costume. Lord Coleridge quoted
the law which compels an innkeeper to #
serve all who can pay and do not behave
in "improper and indecent manner."
The chairman made it plain to the Jury
that they have nothing to do with
bloomere, although the public would not
submit to an innkeeper dictating what
dress customers should wear. "Many
people do not like rational dress. Many
people think it ugly and unbecoming. But
this is not the issue in this case." The
only questions were: Was there a re
fusal to supply, food in a suitable apart-
ment, and was that refusal given with
out sufficient cause?
; The Jury considered the problem for
ten minutes, and found Mrs. Sprague not
guilty. "Then," said the chairman, "she
is discharged." There was applause In
court, the gallery being on the side of
the Innkeeper.
The representatives of the Rational
Dress league do not look upon the ver
dict as a reversal for their cause, as the
main issue was not before the Jury— that
Is, whether or not "rational" dress is en
titled to the same treatment as ordinary
dress.
ARE NOT DISCOURAGED.
•Miss Edith Vance, the secretary, said:
"We are not cast down— far from it. Of
course we would rather have won. We
think that on the real faots of the case
we ought to have won. But although we
lost the verdict that is all we have lost,
and the decision of twelve Surrey Jury
men on the facts as placed before them
will have about as much effect on the
rational dress movement as had the for
mer prejudice against ladies who rode
on bicycles or even in hansom cabs.
"We shall continue to send out mem
bers of the league, decently and properly
attired, and for whose behavior we can
vouch, to every inn against which we re
ceive a complaint. All that I hope is that
some inkeeper will misread the result of
the case— as it ha 3 already been misrepre
sented in one newspaper— and Imagine
that he has the right to refuse accommo
dations altogether to a lady dressed in
knickerbockers.
"The case was really determined by
the photograph of the bar parlor handed
to the Jury. That photograph was quite
misleading, as it was not a photograph
of the room as it appeared at the time
Lady Harberton went~~into It. If I had
never seen the actual room, and had to
form my Judgment by the photograph I
should have said the room was certainly
fit for any lady to lunch in.
"So far as the costume and Its rights
are concerned, the position is pretty much
as it was before. The case will, however,
teach the Mrs. Spragues one thing, and
that is that they are bound to serve
ladies in rational costume without pre
suming to insist on the addition of a
skirt. The only result of the case Is
that they may please themselves where
they do It, provided the room is 'suitable.'
Of course, we don't expect any special
drawing room or nonsense of that kind.
All we say is that we must be treated
as other cyclists, irrespective of sex or
costume. What Mrs. Sprague meant by
women in skin tights I cannot imagine.
If any woman careered through the
streets in skin tights she ought to be ar
rested by the police. That argument re
minds me of the method adopted a few
years ago by a fashionable west end
costumer. Afraid that the advance of the
'rational' movement might injure trade,
that costumer supplied a number of the
women who walk about Piccadilly with
bifurcated garments In order to bring
ridicule on the movement.
"You might as well try to sweep back
the Atlantic. It is an open secret that
the majority of women are clothed ra
tionally nowadays with a covering skirt
for most kinds of work and exercise. The
movement advances more slowly with cy
clists than with any other class, because
of the refusal of some innkeepers to serve
them. The trouble is chiefly in Surrey.
There is a smaller proportion of rationally
attired cyclists in London than in any
other part of the country.
"But the day of refusals was doomed
by yesterday's trial. The bolder cyclists
will Insist on their rights, the more timid
will lose their fears, considering that
the worst that can happen to them is
to be put In another room, which must
be suitable for the purpose."
FOR CHILDREN'S HAIR.
Full Bang; No L.oiiK«r Fault ionable
for a Child.
What a wise thing it was for some wise
woman to change the style of chopping
off her daughter's hair as soon as it was
any length! They used to keep it short
all through the schol days, so that the
debutante's "crown of glory" would be
thick and beautiful. These cropped years
were supposed to Insure this result.
Now the girlies are allowed to retain
the soft little baby curls, which grow
around the seashell ears and brow, and
■which never grow again so prettily after
being cut.
The watchful mother brushes her little
girl's hair carefully every day, which
brings out all the glossiness and makes
it soft. Then the beauty points are care
fully trained, the "widow point," juat
over the middle of the eyes; the two points
Just over the brows and the two just
lower. If the hair is scant there, then a
little cocoa oil is rubbed wel] in. '
Another thing to be careful about is
not to keep to one ' style too long. If
parted the part becomes . too wide, or
when the hair is not parted at all it is
found difficult to find a part. A' little
change like this rests the small nerves
as well, and girlie is better for it.
For wee girls the "granny curls" are
almost exclusively used. The hair Is
parted, and narrow, pink, blue or white
ribbons tie two curls to fall forward over
the ears, so>that when the bonnet is put
on they are-, tied in front of the strings.
Sometimes these little butterfly bows are
tied high above the ears, that is, if the
hair is not too long.
For dressy occasions a narrow bandeau
of silver or gilt is worn, ending with the
two little bows and held by an elastic
under the hair, j An older girl wears her
hair in a full, pompadour, not unlike her
mother's, tied with a colored or black
bow and then braided down and tied
again.
The boys wear the cropped hair that
has been diseartled by the girls, and a
great many rubbings of cocoa oil encour
age a regular mop of hair. Tawny or
black haired lads look very picturesqua
with this style.
The heavy bang is parted after a few
years, so when he- enters the athletic
team for the inters.cholastic games he
has a "football head."
Sometimes there is an "ugly duckling"
among the little girls that can be made
to appear charming by dressing her in -a
quaint style. For a portrait of a girl by
Boutet de Monvel a very odd style of
dressing the hair is seen. Over a short,
full bang is a large rolled puff of hair,
pinned securely on the top of the head.
The rest of the hair is simply curled at
the ends.
An artist will often Start a becoming
style of children's hair, which' will be
taken as a model. The. little son of Mr.
George de Forest Brush is always painted
with the heaVy bang cropped squarely
| round the baclc, just missing the low
round coUaj;, The dry point etcher, Mr.
Hellen, has: a little sketch of
his daughter. Ellen, with, a dull, loosely
tied pompadour.
Mrs. Rosina Emmett Sherwood's wee
girl, painted' by Cecelia Beaux, has her
hair parted pr^ the side,, boy fashion, and
tied with a y pink ribbon. Mr. Chase's
romping Alice has her hair .drawn back
from the brow. It shows a ribbon on the
crown of her dainty head, as does also
charming little Beatrice Goelet in Sar
gent's painting.
It is a pleasure to see the little flower
faces not shaded by the heavy bangs any
more, and to know that soft ringlets and
dainty ribbons are the fashion for chil
dren's hair. Ringlets and curls it must
be up to a certain age. The old-fashioned
curling sticks are coming into use again,
so by "fair means or foul," as the little
victims of crimpers and tongs may
think, girl and curl are synonymous at
the present day.
There are said to be ways of controlling
the color of a child's hair, if taken early
enough, but experiments have failed to
prove this a success. Strong tea deepens
the color of' hafr that is too vividly red,
and the application of oil darkens ana
subdues hair that is neither black nor
brown, but' ls' Dust a dull, rusty color.
Taken all in all, though, it is better to
leave a chit* 1 * hair as it is, and to make
it pretty by; ways of dressing it rather
than by heroic" means.
A very qufaint fashion for the summer
is that af gathering a child's hair up on
top of the »«ad 'and tying with a ribbon.
The ends are then allowed to float loose
and are sligihtly curled at the tips. This
style is cool'aTid very becoming to small,
plump faces.' \s i
Another cool! =style is that of parting
the hair down the back and drawing it
each side to the front, where it is tied
just over the ears with a small ribbon
bow. A child's hair is never pretty
braided, and you see very few braids,
even in the most fashionable portraits of
children.

the: famous pearls.
They Have Moved the World to Love,
Hatred and War.
There are enormous fortunes in singla
pearls. Individuals and great potentates
have Jewels of this sort which are literal
ly worth a king's ransom. In all the
worid there is no more famous pearl than
the Tavernier, now in the possession of
the Shah of Persia. This remarkable gem
came to this Eastern king by descent. It
derives its name from having been sold
THIS BROOCH IS CALLED THE
"MILK WHITE PEARL." IT CON

by the traveler Tavernier 200 years ago to
the then ruler of Persia. The urtco then
was $500,000. It is now worth more than
$630,000.
The Imam of Muscat has a pearl worth
$135,000, weighing twelve and one-half
carats. Through it the daylight can be
seen. Princess Yousoupoff's finest gem
is wonderfully beautiful. "Valued at $180,
--000, it was first heard of In IC2O, when
Georgibus of Calais sold it to Philip IV.
of Spain.
Eighty thousand dollars is the figure
that it is approximated the pope's pearl
would bring. One of Leo's predecessori
became possessed of It, and It has de
scended in regular course to the pope.
There are many remarkable pearl neck
laces. These necklaces are made up
gradually, pearl after pearl being added
to the set.
On the whole, pink pearls are not espe
cially valuable, black ones bringing far
higher prices, and pearls that are white
being sought next after them. Queen
Victoria, of England, has a necklace of
pink pearls that is worth $80,000, and the
Dowager Empress of Germany one made
of thirty-two pearls which would bring
$125,000.
Tha Rothschild women have, however,
gems of this sort that far exceed in val
ue those of royalty. Baroness Gustave de
Rothschild possesses one made up of five
rows of pearls, the whole chain valued
at ?200,000. Baroness Adolphe de Roths
child owns a circlet that would fetch
$250,000.
Even more brilliant, because it has
seven rows, is the necklace of the Dow
ager Empress of Rus3ia. The casket of
this royal lady is the most famous in
the world from a gem point of view.
Hardly second to it is that of the Em
press of Austria, whose black pearls are
noted throughout Europe for their ex
treme beauty and rarity.
What has become of the white pearls
of the Empress Eugenic, sold at the close
of the Franco-Prussian war, has never
been made known. The value of these
was some $60,000, and they were gathered
together in a very beautiful necklace
that frequently graced the neck of that
unfortunate queen.
The largest pearl owned by an individ
ual in this country belongs to Mrs. W. K.
Vanderbllt Jr. The pearl was a gift from
her husband upon their wedding day. It
Is a pearl shaped like a pear, and is said
to have cost $78,000. Daylight can be seen
through it. It Is hung from a big ruby,
whose rays have a wonderful blue tinge,
shining, as It were, through red.
Mrs. Potter Palmer's pearls have made
her well-known photograph famous.
There are six rows of perfectly gradu
ated pearls, all of purest white.
Mrs. Yerkes is said to ha^e some won
derful pearls, which are tOe shown to
Nev/ York society this coming wintor.
And in the CSouid family the finest ara
said to belong to Mrs. Haward, formerly
Miss Clcmmons.
Thft Countess Castellane, besides own-
Ing the Esterhazy diamond, possesses the
Isabella pearl. This was formerly the
property of the Queen of Spain. In 149-5,
when getting money for an expedition to
the new world, the royal coffers were
drained, and this pearl, with a few others,
were sold.
Years after the death of the queen the
pearl was purchased by a descendant of
De Soto, who had amassed great wealth
in Mexico. The pearl was all that was
lacking to complete a remarkable collec
tion of these gems. For many yearn
afterward the pearl remained in this
country, but was finally sold abroad by
a younger son of an American family,
where it was purchased by Count Cas
tellane for his wife.

DINNER WITH VEGETARIANS.
Vegetable Oyster Soap, Nut Beef
steak or Stewed Nat Lamb,
There is a vegetarian cafe In Detroit,
Mich., and another in Salt Lake City.
One of the first customers of the new
restaurant was a flesh-eater, who wan
dered in by chance. He drew out a chair
and sat down. A waiter hurried to him.
"We have panned and broiled vegetable
oysters, sir. And clam boulion cf nuts
and ox-tail soup made from fruit."
"Fruits! Nuts! Jlmmimy! What have
I struck? What place Is this, anyway?"
"This Is a vegetarian restaurant, sir.
'"You can have a complete course din
ner, beginning with the vegetable oysters
served in any style, and the boulion.
"For meats I can give you nutmeat pie
or nut English stew. Our nut-beefsteak
is smothered in onions like the ordinary
beefsteak you eat for a cold morning's
breakfast. Our stewed nut lamb is sur
rounded v-ith green peas like the spring
dainty you pay such a price for in other
restaurants. Nut lamb comes at fifteen
cents. You would pay half a dollar for
spring lamb at a flesh-eating restaurant.
"Then there Is a black walnut roast,
sir, whlc.h our patrons consider delicious.
With this we serve a rich vegetarian
gravy. Some days we serve also a nut
beef loaf and a nut-meat pie.
"Our roast nut lamb Is garnished with
mashed peas, a vegetarian Idea, and
served, of course, with mint sauce. Nut
lamb is nothing without mint sauce. A
portion will cost you ten cents."'
"What relishes can I order?"
"Nut chicken croquettes, croquettes of
ripe olives mixed with rice. Macaroni
with nut paste. We don't \ise cheese. It
is an animal product. Then there is nut
chicken salad cold, and delicious served
with our own mayonnaise. Rice we serve
with golden sauce.
"We make a specialty of salads. Ap
ples and tomatoes we mix and prepare
with a dressing of mint, oil, vinegar and
salt. We have a" curly cabbage, salad,
too, that is much liked. It is dressed
with a sauce made from tomatoes. Sun
flower salad is another favorite, and wa
keep It when seasonable.'"
"How about eggs?"
"Not the real eggs, of course— an ani
mal product— but we have vegetarian
eggs. These are prepared from cereals
or nuts. They are made In half a dozen
■styles, poached on flakes or on zwieback,
boiled or curdled, scrambled, plain, with
cream. witK lemon, etc.
'tome of our new dlahes are nut cake*
_
•with gravy, potato hash, broiled mock
oysters and stewed cantaloupe In orange j
Byrup. Our baked peanuts are rendered
tasty by hygienic catsup.
"For dessert I can bring you almost
any variety of pie— apple, peach, cran
berry, grape, nut, etc.; prunes stewed as
they should be stewed; steamed pudding
•with fruit sauce, or macaroni pudding
with grape marmalade."
The flesh-eater unfolded his napkin.
"Well," he said, "give me a vegetarian
course dinner. It sounds as if I could
get a good square meal out of all that."
