That White Pique. ' There's a good bit of technique about wearing a white pique," said (he sar torial philosopher. "In the first place, there’s not neaily so much art about keeping the thing clean as you might Imagine. All you have to do. if you wish your white pique suit to retain Its pris tine rr luunrleied Hpotlessness, is never to put it on. "Rarely have f -ver known such a suit to become soiled, or even seml snlied by lying away in the clothespress or wardrobe, and 1 commend it to all who have had difficulty in keeping their white piques clean. “If you should put the suit nn ( how ever, then lie careful not to stir about any more than you can help. The sligh test contact leaves its mark upon such a susceptible surface, and if you con trive to keep a fixed and stationary pos ture so long as you had on the frock, the result would tie almost equal to not putting i n the fl ock at all—almost, not quit-. "But when a white pique suit is worn; when the wearer deliberately and knowingly takes the garment out from IIS haven In the clothespress or v ird robe, and, putting it on, prefers to prance up and down the veranda, or upon the beach, or upon the links, or even to go into town with it on, then her entire course of conduct is changed. There is no earthly use trying to keep the suit clean, so it is far better to wear it with a dash, abandon—even with recklessness. .

Sponsor for the Rough Riders. Miss Carolyn Thomas, who has hei-n made sponsor for the famous troops L and M, of the Rough Riders, Is an Illi nois girl. Her father I* Judge John B. Thomas, of the Indian Territory, and her brother Is John B. Thomas, Jr., who made a hero of himself In the charge up the hill at the battle of Han Juan.

Eat at the _ ELLIS RESTAURANT One of the Host Beautiful of Women. Chicago News. Perhaps one t# the best known wo men in England is the Countess of Warwick, who is also known as one of the most beauLful. Her enemies are quito as fierce as her friends, anil the faet that while the Princess of Wales iviU not recognize her the latter’s daughter-in-law, the Duohets of York, 13 a firm friend of the countess, even standing a month ago as godmother to the countess’ Infant son, has created gome strained situations. Lady War wick is un altogether remarkable wo man, and is endowed with a strain of originaliiy which goes far. While she is well equipped to do large entertain ing, she limits herself to cotillons in town and prefers to entertain on a more extensive seale in ihe country. Like most Englishwomen of rank and wealth, Iho counters takos a great in terest in philanthropical work, and opens schools, furthers bazaars, and takes a lively interest In her husband’s tenantry, the result being she is wor shipped by the bumbler people. When staging in London Lady Warwick asks her friends to lunch, and unlike many smart, thoughtless mothers, she does nol always banish her children from the table. A good, wholesome Joint, and other hotneiy food are thc.ro f:.r them, as well ns the usual dainties for her guests. Her children, without having inherited their mother’s strik ing beauty, ar£ bonny and merry little souls are brought up io he large-min ded from their earliest years, and to pass by the petty things of life un heeding.

There’s a rich Joke going the rounds on » well known young society couple today. The affair oceured last Friday night. The scene was on the lake. The couple were also on the lake. They were enjoying themselves emensely as only a young man and a young Indy ran who are allowing a boat to idly drift on the quiet waters of a lovely stream, and care not whether the old world (urns east or weht, so long as they are not disturbed. But they were disturbed. That’s where the Joke comes In. They heard the hell at the Lake View car j line ring. The bell only rings just be fore the last car leaves. My, how the ringing of that bell did break Into, that tableau on the waters. Oars were pulled with a will and after a mighty struggle against waves and time, the pair, out of breath, arrived at the terminus and hoarded the car. They congratulated themselves sev eral dozen times over on catching the ! ear, and it was not until they arrived way down on Broad street that they learned they could have waited an hour or so longer on the lake. The hell had rung accidently, and it was far from the final car. They don't like bells now. The young man left town Saturday after noon.
