A few minutes after this she in vited up to the top of the house where Is an elegant little music hall with two grand pianos.

The walls are covered with trophies of. tho Hunt cups, medals, rib bons and brushesj The only pictures that adorn tho walls are those- of her horses, herself or her friends on horse back. Not a' photograph' is to be seen anywhere- about the den, which is just off tho drawing room, unless it tells the story of" the hunt club, and Miss Elkins is never happier than when she is entertaining her friends ini this cozy apartment. An intimate- girl friend relates an. in cident which Miss- Elkins told her. The senator's daughter had a pet dog, which, Like-its mistress, was very inde pendent. She went to- an art store re cently with the dog, which wandered about, finally knocking down a picture, smashing tho glass and damaging tho painting. Miss Elkins paid tho 525. de manded, but enjoyed the joke because she said the dog had cither to bump Into a man or kuock tho picture over, and ho preferred to ran against tho picture. The other day Ilenry Gassa way Davis, the millionaire grandfather of Miss Elkins, In speaking to her father about the engagement, said, "Stephen, I am not much for dukes, but If Katherlne loves him and wants him the old man Is with her, and if it is money that is needed she can count on me for every dollar in tho pile." Women and Cigarettes. In these days, when tho congeniality of women and the cigarette Is being so heatedly discussed on this side of the water, it Is interesting to read this pen picture by tho Paris correspondent of Vogue in regard to tho prevalence of n: tor tuo "vicinity in ?

On our way to tho sta Hon wo found wo had boon ontor talnod nourly throe- hours. Thus onded my first llttlo jour ney to tho homo of Madamo Chami undo. . The habit prevails everywhere. In all the smart hotels, cafes and restau rants I have entered, nnd they are many, I have seen at teatime. after dinner nnd after supper late at night correct appearing women of all ages, with equally correct men, sit calmly lighting with knowing gestures their tiny Russian cigarettes. Other women whom ono counts out do tho same thing differently. Their gestures aro more pronounced, their at titude moro coquettish; their pretty feet are perhaps crossed, revealing dainty embroidered lingerie skirts and laced stockings to match their gowns. They make much of the pretty poses taken in the frequent lighting of their gold tipped cigarettes from tho wax taper held by an obsequious attendant. I was sitting nlono over my tea in tho plain shaded, flower decked tea room of a great hotel Idly listening to sweet music from a hidden band. Just opposite me sat two women, unmistak ably English nnd, after tho manner of many traveling Englishwomen, rather dowdy in dress, A puff of smoke caught my eye. Ono had lighted a ciga rette; tho oth6r was carefully selecting ouo from a carved silver cigarette case. I looked about with Interest, wonder ing what was going to happen. At tho noxt tablo I saw as I turned my head n beautiful dark browed woman, splen didly gowned in embroidered white cloth and wearing drnped gracefully over her anus n long, straight ermine lined velvet scarf. Sho lifted her hand with n slight gesture, which brought n Walter to her sldo with n tiny tray of Jclgarottes. Daintily sho selected one, lighted It, then leaned back luxuriously Into tho soft depths of tho big easy chalr to watch serenely tho wreaths of pmoko float abovo her head.

Tho "bonne a tout faire" is the typ- leal servant of the- middle class French household and. may be said, to exem plify middle class French life. The Paris maid of all work, may, writes Mme. Mnrcotto In the London Daily Mall, indeed, be- aptly described as "tho boat man in France today." Nearly all French female servants start in life as "bonnes a tout falre.'1 Tho position gives knowledge and ex-. perlenco. Some specialize later on as cooks or housemaids, according to their tastes, but owing to the usual arrange ment of flat life in Paris the "bonne a tout faire" is the only indoor servant kept by most bourgeois families, oven by those in well to do circumstances. The "bonno a tout faire" can cook and do tho housework as well' as the marketing. She can wash, iron, sow, look after the children and accompany the "jeunes filles" of tho house out doors. She can, in a word, turn her hand to anything, nnd sho does most things well. If she is not always as respectful in her speech ns sho might be with her employers, it is owing to her repub licanism of soul and tongue. Automatic Duster Wanted. Every woman, rich or poor, who. is anywhere near normal is interested in her home, and when It is considered how many useful domestic articles have been invented by women it seems, remarkable no one yet has devised an automatic duster. There is tho carpet sweeper, which requires only to be pushed gently along the floor and not only sweeps, but picks up tho dust. Would not a dusting machine be use ful in every household? It need bo only a simple device, something on wheels to be propelled by light pres sure, with an arm that would ralso and lower itself automatically to dust articles of various heights. If It brushed tho dust off everything and gathered it In a box, as the carpet sweeper does, it would be not only n boon to housewives nnd housemaids, but n highly sanitary device.

Ono of the delicious sauces that aro Just in season is mado of fresh straw berries. A cupful of confectioner's sugar is creamed with a largo table spoonful of butter, and then half a box of tho fruit that has been put through u press Is added and beaten in. The sauco with n light cottage pudding compares very favorably with straw berry shortcake. A rule for a light cottago pudding calls for a quarter of a cupful of but ter, a cupful of sugar, half a cupful of milk, a cupful and a half of flour, an egg. two teaspoonfuls of baking pow der and a little salt.
