laud is our own Consuela Vanaderbilt Daughter
of William K. Vanderbllt, she was only eighteen
years old when In 1895 she married the Duke of
Marlborough. Her splendid fortune was used In
part to pay the debts of the young duke and to
rehabilitate his mansions and estates aid for a
time the union was a happy one. King Edward
was much impressed by the charm of the Ameri-
can girl and her position In British society was
assured. But the duke failed to appreciate the
kindness of fortune in giving him so sweet and
accomplished a wife and placing so many mil-
lions at his disposal. He neglected the duchess
and the couple became estranged, though no
divorce followed. English society, backed by
King Edward, gladly would have shown its svm-

Men of science are generally agreed
that birds are n&turVs great check on
the excess of insf-cts. and that they
maintain the balance between plant
and Insect life. Ten thousand cater-
pillar*. It ha* been estimated, could de-
stroy every blade of grass on an acre
of cultivated land The insect popula-
tion of a single cherry tree infested
"with aphides has been estimated by e.
prominent entomologist at no less than
twelve million. The bird population of
cultivated country districts has been
estimated at from seven hundred to
one thousand a square mile. This Is
small, compared with the number of
Insects, yet, as each bird consumes
hundreds of insects every day the lat-
ter are prercnted from becoming the
scourge they would be but for their
feathered enemies.
New Jersey has joined the states
which believe that clandestine mar-
riage should not be made easy. A new
license law requires ail couples, In-
cluding elopers, from elsewhere, to ob-
tain licenses before the knot can be
tied. As the issuing of licenses Is a
matter of public record it Is of course
easy to get on the track of the fleeing
ones There should be no unjust re-
strictions upon marriage, but It Is quite
In accord with the better sentiment of
the day that there shall be as little
secrecy as possible about such affairs.
The man and woman who care enough
for each other to be joined in honor-
able wedlock have no reason to be
•shamed of the proceeding.
President Harry Burns Hutchlns of the Uni
versity of Michigan. Is sixty-four years of age
He was bom ln Lisbon, N. H, and prepared him-
self for college at the Conference seminary at
Tilton and at the Vermont Conference seminary
at Newbury.
He entered Wesleyan university at Middleton
at the age of nineteen, but on account of poor
health was unable to complete the year. Later,
however, he took up the studies of physiology
and surgery at Vermont university. In 1867 his
parents having moved to Michigan, he entered
Ann Arbor. Here he kept at the head of his
class, was its valedictorian and commencement
orator, and ln 1871 graduated with honors and
with the degree of bachclor ol philosophy. After
his graduation he went to Owosso and was placed
in charge of the public schools there. The next year Professor Hutchlns
returned to the state university at Ann Arbor and was made instructor tn
rhetoric and history, being advanced to the position of assistant professor
the following year. He continued in this capacity for over three years,
when he entered the legal profession, and in partnership with his father-in-
law was in active practise for several years, when he again became con-
nected with the university as professor of law. He afterward went to Ithaca
and organized a department of law in Cornell. Michigan got hlna back
egain in 18,5. he was made dean of the department in which he had previ-
ously been instructor, and during the years when President Angell was
absent as minister to Turkey he was the acting president of the univeislty.
For a dozen years he has been dean of the law department and has
made a record as an advocate of more dignity in undergraduate life, keeping
the scholastitc requirements fn the department always at the highest stand-
ards. The regents of the university feel that In President Hutchins they have

The ribbon as a sash Is admitted
when in Its softest form It hangs ln
two long slim ends, very much as if It
were bias liberty. To accomplish this
effect the ends are tied sometimes
Into knots, with end, and again Into
actual bows, which weight them into
a graceful fall.
Ribbon may also be folded success-
fully Into the sash for the waist gir-
dle, when, Tor this use, also, it is of a
llbertr quality.
The hat bow of the season demands
breadth of ribbon and crispness of
quality.
Ribbon has been used successfully as
s tunic edge for the marquisette and
chiffon drapery of the figured foulard
gown, and It Is the color touch on
many a pretty garden party frock.
Here, If anywhere, Is ribbon at Its
best. The buttonholed slot provides
successful openings for the slipping ln

dotted swiss. Black or lavender rib-
bons slipped into the natural eyelet

of the summer frock for those who

Always successful as summer neck-
ties are the medium widths of soft
ribbon, whether tied in a bow or

Color enters largely into the suc-
cessful use of ribbon, and not alone
are the brightest tones called Into

It Should Suit Your Style, Be Put on
Properly and Pinned Where
It Belongs.
"If you're going to wear a shirt
waist, wear It right!" was the em-
phatic remark of one girl to another,
as *he surveyed disapprovingly the
blouse worn by another, which
"skewed" ln the back and was baggy
under the arms where it should have
been taut and trim.
In the 9rst place, suit your shirt
waists to your style. To some the
severely tailored waists are infinitely
more becoming than any other; while
to another contingent the more elab-
orate, "dressy" modes are ln better
correspondence with the wearer. Dis-
cover which kind Is best for you and
hold to It
Then, as to accessories. Frills and
pleatlngs may not be "your style;"
jabots and cascades no better. A short
Jabot may be becoming and one that
falls below the bust line much less so
This Is a discovery you are to make
for yourself, and having made It, don't
be tempted from your knowledge.
Don't think because you wear "Just
a shirt waist" you can get Into it any
old way. Put It on properly, pin It
down where it belongs; establish close
connections with It and the skirt;
make it do you credit. A ten cent per-
cale will look better and have more

According to the Boston fllobe paste

port this season than ever before. One
reason why people wear their paste
jewels conspicuously at Newport Is
that they are all prepared to show the

D. K. Pearsons, the Chicago philanthropist,
who has given six million dollars to small col-
leges. expects to give away the rest of his money
this year and to retire Into a sanitarium to await
the end of a very long life. Dr. Pearsons is over
ninety years old and afflicted with rheumatism.
He will sell his home and spend the balance of
his days in the sanitarium. He praises his own
wisdom in disposing of his wealth before his
death, and says he knows where it has gone and
has prevented any contest after he is gon*.
April 14, his next birthday anniversary, Dr.
Pearsons plans to make his last bequests to his
colleges, which will be the last of his fortune.
He will then rest content waiting for the end.
"A man is his own best executor," said Dr.
Pearsons, "and 1 intend to be mine. I will sell
my home and use the money to pay ray debts." Dr. Pearsons always speaks
of his conditional pledges as his "debts." "I will make no more presents until

Linen Pincushion.
Round pincushions are Just now con-
sidered very smart They are made of
embroidered or lace-trimmed doilies
and are not ln the least difficult unless
one Is sufficiently ambitious to do
one's own embroidery.
A small circular cushion that Is not
very thick through is used and the
dolly Is placed flat over this. It should
be much larger than the cushion, so
that the edge extends beyond the cush-
ion all around. The dolly is double, the
under side being plain; this under
side is open in the middle and fastened
together with buttons and buttonholes.
The cushion can thus be slipped in
and out readily when the cover is to
be laundered.

Roosters, Pheasants and Owl Heads
Some With Combs and Feet of
Colored Jewels.
The woman who can not stand for
Chantecler hats can achieve a touch
of the barnyard ln her hatpins. There
are roosters, pheasants, owl beads ga-
lore, from cheap ones of small size
In Imitation enamel or silver to huge
affairs in rhlnestones with combs and
feet of colored jewels.
Somo of these rhlnestone pins are
three Inches long from comb to claws.
Usually they present a side view when
in the hat, occasionally they are set
to look as if Just stepping forth for a
morning crow, showing both sides of
the body Btudded.
Huge colored enamel hat pins have
superseded rhlnestone ones for the
moment, thougu the former when of
good quality are always In style. A
good-looking one has a large heart
worked out In various tones of red
enamel delicately lined with gold.
The girl who would make sure of
having her powder puff ever with her
now carries it In her hat pin. So
huge are some of the new pins that
there Is room for quite a sizeable pow
der puff, when the hinged lid is lifted.
So skillful Is the workmanship that
none but the Initiated suspect the
complexion safeguard.
With a set of these pins one can be
used for powder, the second for nail
polish or rouge and the third for tiny
