New Playing Cards.
Mrs. John King Van Rensselaer, so
ciety leader and author and leading
authoritv on the history of playing
cards, Is soon to appear In the role of
an inventor.
Mrs Van Rensselaer has devised a
pack of playing cards each one of
which will bear the etching In black
and white of a distinguished woman.
Historical legends will appear below,
There will be four suits, the emblems
of which will be a crown, a serpent a
Maltese cross and the Liberty bell.
The crown denotes royalty and ap
pears on cards bearing the etchings or
women of royalty, upon those bear
ing the serpent denoting Immortality,
appear noteworthy women, and upon
cords bearlne Maltese crosses will ap
pear oppressed women and upon tne
IJbertv bell American women. Each of
the last named cards will bear the In
scription. "Taxation Without Repre
sentation."
The cards were Intended for educa
tional rmrooses. and, although they may
be used for certain games, they are
so made that they will not appeal to
the gambler. The juea is entirely
novel.
Milady's Motorcar.
There are several Innovations being
made at present with regard to the
fltrinzs and UDhoIstery of motorcars.
more especially in those designed for
mllndv's Dse.
Some of the latest models, Instead of
beine nnholstered In the usual dark
colored leather, are being lined with
velvet or cloth In exquisite shades, cal
culated to harmonize well with the
toilets of the fair owner.
One lovely model was upholstered In
dull silver crav velvet with the tltttngs
of oxidized silver, the latter being far
prettier and less ostentatious than
those made entirely of polished sliver
or Dlate.
The cushions, two square and one
oblong, the latter nicely adjusted to fit
into the small of the back when on a
long and tiring drive, were covered In
the same velvet, with the monogram
embroidered in silver and gray thread
In one corner.
The foot rest with its tin lined In
terior making a comfortable warmer
in the cold weather, was also covered
In gray.
Hat Spoiled Eyes.
Women should beware of the hat
which shades the eyes.
"JJats which obstruct the vision of
the wearer weaken the eyes," said a
doctor recently.
"A girl of eighteen who wears the
'beehive' or other overhanging hat
will find that by the time she is twenty
ber sight Is almost as weak as that of
an old woman."
Another doctor, when shown two
models of the beehive hats which
nro no normlar among women nowa-
days, said that such hats not only
weaken the sight, but also Induce bald
ness through being worn so close to the
scalp.

big, well preserved siwlmeu, and on
Its back there Is a whole ramlly or lit

mens were kept at great expense in
their parks and royal gardens, where
thi.v wpro nttendisl bv iirleKts and giv
en all sorts of dainty morsels for food.
When these crocod le gods died they
wer embalmed and nlaced In the
tombs along with the mummies of
other sacred animals. This particular

organized for refusing all dealings
with sucb persons, refusing to nerve
them with goods or meet them in sod
