NEW YORK, March 14. The advent
of Prince Helnrlch von Preussen has
seemed not unlike a special dispensa
tion of Providence in behalf of the
fashionable modistes.
The armor put on by the women en
gaged in the social war waged at the
Metropolitan opera house last week for
the favor of this genial young German
was splendid.
I doubt if ever the women took great
er pains to look their best. Certainly
not this winter, unless it was at the
famous bachelors' ball, at Sherry's.
Most of them bedecked themselves
with all the jewels they could possibly
muster; and the exceptions were con
spicuous. Mrs. Clarence Mackay, clad in an ef
fective white embroidered gown,
sprinkled with gleaming rhinestones,
was one of these.
She was minus necklace, tiara,
brooches and even the gorgeous stom
acher presented to her by her father-in-law.
Mrs. George Vanderbilt, who, I dare
say, did not trouble her pretty, sensible
head in the least whether the prince
smiled "on her or not, contented herself
with an orchestra stall, and looked
radiant.
Her gown was a most becoming
chiffon and satin affair, of a yellowish
shade, and the few diamonds she wore
were superb.
She is a most attractive woman, be
cause of the poise of her small head,
which is so admirably set on her shoul
ders. An additional charm is her extreme
modesty.
Mrs. Alfred Vanderbilt, who is just
now looking her best, wore white, as
did most of the young married women.
This was probably with the idea of
marking the American debut of royal
ty. Mrs. Alfred's gown was of heavy
satin, and her tiara, which was gor
geous, made her look a veritable giant
ess in height.
. Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt, who Is
popularly supposed to hold the most
enviable position In America today, and
who seems perfectly aware cf the im
pression, was in white satin and lace
with a diamond crown.
Mrs. Perry Belmont, Mrs. Cass Can
field. Mrs. Baylis, Mrs. J.'Stickney.
Mrs. W. Bayard .-Cutting." Mrs. J. A.
Burden, Mrs. Ogden Mills, Mrs. Gerry,
Mrs. Gould, and many other prominent
women, wore diamond coronets and
tiaras.
One cannot help wondering whether
or not PrlWe Helnrlch ever had so
much made of him before, or ever saw
so many jeweled crow ns at one time.
It certainly does not come to the
brother of a ruler more than once in
a lifetime to have such n display made
in his exclusive honor.
-Miss Alice Roosevelt was charming
in her simple gown of filmy white, with
a pretty pink ribbon at her slender
throat..
Mrs. George Gould wore pale tur
quoise blue her favorite and most be
coming color. She was covered with
diamonds, at least to the box rail.
The wife of ex-President Cleveland,
who made such a charming and lov
able first lady of the land that she can
never seem to us any tiling el.se, was the
handsomest woman among the many.
Her black velvet gown, ornamented
by flowers near the shoulders, was most
effective.
She wore a magnificent necklace of
diamonds.
The very simplicity of her toilet
made her conspicuous.
Mrs. Ogden Mills was ablaze with
sparkling things.
Her gown was spangled, and she
wore many jewels. Her crown, how
ever, is altogether too high- to be be
coming. To Mrs. Perry Belmont, with the
famous Belmont emeralds about her
throat and reaching down to the top
of her low bodice, must be awarded the
distinction of being the most splendidly
jeweled woman at the opera that even
ing. Thre seems, by the way, a veritable
fever among the women to see and
hear this big blond German prince. At
the banquet tendered him by the Staats
Zeitung, granting one simultaneous in
terview to all the newspapers of the
country, there was a most unseemly
crush among the wives and women
friends of the guests to catch a
glimpse of this august personage.
However, though many wordy battles
were fought for front box seats, I am
assured that no blood was shed. Lady

Editor of the Courier In your issue
of February 22d, in an article entitled
"Observations," you published some
statements concerning Christian
Science which I would like to review.
You referred to the essay on this sub
ject by Mark Twain. Many, besides
Christian Scientists, have criticised
Mark Twain's parody on Christian
Science. True wit must contain the
essence of truth. Otherwise it becomes
an offensive, ridiculous farce. There
is no doubt that Mark Twain made the
mistake of his life when he attempted
to satirize Christian Science and he
himself will live to regret that day.
The exaggerated, unreasonable. Irra
tional, fanatical characteristics attrib
uted to Christian Scientist practition
ers, as pictured by that writer, do not
give any sense of the truth concern
ing Christian Science and its methods.
In Justice to the emperor of Ger
many as well as to Christian Scient
ists, I desire to say that the report
that he has taken up a crusade against
Christian Science is not borne out by
facts. While the emperor has been
obliged to take some note of the dis
cussion on this subject, yet according
to a telegram from one who made a
thorough investigation of this ques
tion he has not defined his position.
The news items coming from Germany
like those of our own country, are
sometimes largely exaggerated for the
purpose of sensation. That our good
friends across the water should look
with Incredulity upon this new school
of religion is not strange when we con
sider that even in our own fair land,
which boasts of her liberties. Christ
ian Science has not entirely finished
the guantlet of skepticism and Is even
at this present daybeing maligned and
falsified by some critics. Without
doubt. If the kaiser of Germany in
vestigates Christian Science sufficient
ly to learn the truth about It, he will
end a full-fledged Christian Scientist.

NOT A WOMAN.
A Boston Episode.
Geoffrey was of a singular tempera
ment. He did so enjoy trying experi
ments on human natures.
People said that he was espris with
Mrs. Harriott. When he heard the ru
mor he was led to wonder what sort of
a woman Mrs. Harriott really was.
The very next day he saw her buy
ing some violets on the corner by the
Interurban, so he crossed over and
held her muff while she paid for the
flowers.

"Have women any real Idea of
truth?" he asked, as they stood theie
side by side.
-Mrs. Harriott was busy pinning on
her violets. "I don't know," she. said,
absent-mindedly. "I'm not a woman,
anyway I'm a" Colonial Dame."
"For instance, now," Geoffrey went
on, feeling in his pocket, "If I give you
thi3 note, and you promise me that
you will not open It until you are alone
in your room at home, can you keep
your word?"
Mrs. Harriott suddenly recollected
that this man was said to be most
awfully In love with her. She looked
up with Interest.
"Yes, of course I can."
Geoffrey put the note in her hand
and she buried both hand and note
deep in her muff.
"This is your car. Isn't It?" he said,
a minute later; "I'll get on with you."
He went half up the aisle to secure
her a seat alone to herself and then he
bowed and left her.
The Instant he was gone she took
out the note and examined it carefully.
There was nothing on the envelope
and it felt thin.
Curious!
She looked carefully around, to be
sure that no one whom she knew was
near, and then she tore it open.
There were only two lines:
"You said that you would keep it
until you were alone at home, and
now you are letting the man behind
read every word."
Mrs. Harriott turned quickly in her
seat. The man behind "was Geoffrey
himself. Town Topics. '
