What Lord
Blarneyston Said
By LOUISE B. CUMM1NGS
One evening at a theater Lord Blar
neyston, chatting with an American
friend who was spending a great deal
of time and money on his lordship, see
ing Mrs. Harkaway in one., of the
boxes, asked who she was and when
told said:
"She's the most beautiful woman I've
seen in New Xorli, and there's no wom
an in England who can compare with
her."
8uch a remark made by a member
of the London smart set was bound to
be repeated from mouth to mouth. In
• twinkling It permeated the social
circle, the members of which were at
once agog to see a woman whom Lord
Blarneyston pronounced more beauti
ful than any woman In England. Tho
first Sunday after the encomium had
spread In society the church where
Mrs. Harkaway worshiped was over
flowing with strangers who went there
to see her.
Of course his lordship's remark reach
ed Mrs. Harkaway. It was her husband
who told her, and he was proud to be
tho husband of the most beautiful wo
man In New York or London.
Mrs. Harkaway belonged to that
class of New Yorkers who years agone
were social leaders, but who now oc
cupy back seats, the front seats being
taken up by the commercial multimil
lionaire aristocracy of America. Why
not use Lord Blarneyston's encomium
to regain the position occupied by her
ancestors? True, the ancestors of pres
ent day leaders bad some of them sold
meat and vegetables to Mrs. Ilarka
way's forefathers, to say nothing of
one who had cooked the said meat and I
vegetables In her grandfather's kitch
en. But times were changed. Present
day aristocrats had assumed the lead
ership by virtue of their enormous
wealth, and It was Impossible to dis
lodge them. Possibly they would take
in a woman whom an English peer had
pronounced the most beautiful in New
x urn ur luuuuu.
After a consultntlon between Mr. nud
Mrs. Harkaway It was decided by the
husband .that the wife's chance for so
cial prominence should be made avail
able. Certain relatives of Mrs. Hark
away who had married into multi
millionaire families were found to In
troduce her, and she was launched into
society simply on the fact that Lord
Blarneyston in order to compliment the
city of the man who was dining and
wining him had said that she was the
most beautiful woman in New York or
London.
The narkaways had misgivings
about entering the golden circle on a
beggarly Income of $10,000. They fig
ured, however, that Mrs. narkaways
beauty, certified to by a British peer,
would be considered a quid pro quo i
for what they would receive and that
they would not be required to give en
tertainments. Iu this they were cor
rect The difficulty In the multimillion
aire set is to get persons to attend en
tertainments. But there was one tiling,
however, on which their calculations
were In error. They thought that Mrs
Harkaway would be able to provide
herself with costumes our of her hus
band's income, leaving enough for their I
other expenditures.
Possibly had Mrs. Harkaway been
admitted to the golden circle on any j
other plea than Lord Blarneyston's ex-1
pressed opinion of her beauty a few I
thousands dollars a year for costumes
would have sufficed But society ex
pected the most beautiful woman lo
wear tht most beautiful costumes. Be
sides, Mrs. Harkaway received the
concentrate-j gaze of society not be
cause she owned the highest bred dog
in the universe, but because of Lord
Blarneyston's remark. For this rea
son her costumes were of supreme Im
portance. They would attract far more
attention than her beauty. Therefore
they must not only be superb, but In
great variety.
Not only did Mrs Harkaway's ward
robes cost a great deal of money, but
at least one trip abroad a year was
necessary to procure them Then much |
more Jewelry than she possessed was I
Indispensable. Indeed, the Harkaways I
had not even prepared for the wife's
entry into society before they saw that
within a short time that which pro
duced their Income would melt away
like Ice under the rays of the sun
Nevertheless tho preparations were
made.
At the first function attended by
Mrs. Harkaway she found herself the
cynosure of all eyes. "That's the wo
man that Lord Blarneyston said was
the most beautiful in New York or Lon
don," said everybody to everybody else.
She stood In one position while a
throng of persons passed her ogling
her as they would a freak In a dime
museum.
It happened that Lord Blarneyston
was still In New York and was at this
assembly. A. lady to whom he was
talking called his attention to Mrs.
Harkaway. remarking that she had
been told she was the most beautiful
woman In New York or London
"I cawn't agree with that." said his
lordship. "I think Mrs. Monkerench
far more beautiful."
The remark was overheard, and Mrs
Harkaway's beauty was blighted. Sin
was dropped from society, fortunately
In time to save her husband's fortune
She resumed her normal position, but
somehow the spell of happiness that
pervaded the Harkaway family was
broken. There has never since been
the same contentment
Two Americans
Abroad
By F. A. MITCHEL
Wilkinson enlisted for tho Spanlah
American war when he wus seventeen
years old, went to Cuba and fought tho
dons and returned with his command at
the end of tho fracas. When the great
European military conflagration broke
out, desirous of seeing something more
of lighting, ho went to Canada, enlist
ed in tho first expeditionary force that
went to England and thence to France.
Wilkinson was a machinist and very
Ingenious. When the British com
manders learned of this they wanted
him to go into the mechanical corps of
the nrrny, but he said he had had enough
of that at home. lie preferred to ro
maiu in the ranks, where be would get
something different So*he became a
trench fighter like the rest of them.
But it Is not every man who can get
|ust what he wants, no matter how he
arranges for It Wilkinson bad no soon
er got into a fight than he was captur
ed and taken to the rear. This was In
Flanders during the late autumn of
1014.
One day an officer came Into the pris
on where Wilkinson was confined and
asked In English If there were any me
chanics there who would volunteer to
work at bridge building. Wilkinson,
whose active nature rendered confine
ment unbearable to him, called out that
lie was an engineer by profession. The
oQK-er accostid lilni, asking if he would
agree to give his services to the Ger
man government in good faith. It
turned out that the officer, Captain
Kaufman, was a Gorman-American,
who had gone over to fight for the fa
therland.
Wilkinson and Captain Kaufman be
!ns both Americans became quite
chummy. Wilkinson Impressed the
(.aptillii so favorably with his knowl
edge of engineering that tho latter pro
posed to take him to the chief engineer
with a view to his entering the en
gineer corps of the German army In a
prominent position. Wilkinson assent
ed, or. rather, pretended to assent, for
he was simply looking out for an op
portunity to get back to the army of
which he was a legitimate part
Captain Kaufman took the prisoner
Into nu automobile for a ride to a point
where a large railroad bridge was be
ing rebuilt There he expected to find
one of the chief engineer officers of the
army to whom lie expected to turn over
the American for service. During the
ride tlie two men chatted about Amer
ica and what they would do there on
their return at the end of the war. Nat
urally Kaufman was warm In his ad
vocacy of the German cause, while
Wilkinson's sympathies were with the
allies. But they talked little on this
subject, for Wilkinson, who had a plan
to get lAvay from his captor, led the
conversation in a line that would faclll
tato his dolus so.
"I toll you what we'll do. Kaufman,"
ho said. "When this slaughter busi
ness is over and we both pet back to
the land of the free I've got the biggest
scheme on hand for making money you
ever saw. It's a device that may be
applied to all pumping mechanisms.
Its use will bo enormous. I'll take
you in with me and we'll make our
everlasting fortunes. You attend to
the sales while I attend to the manu
facture—see?"
"Where will we got the capital?"
asked tlie captain.
"Capital! Why. there's capital
enough In the United States to promote
any scheme if it can be proved all
right. 1 can get millions for anything
I propose. My device Is so simple that
a child can understand it. Lot me have
a poticil and a piece of paper and I'll
make you a drawing-of it."
Kaufman had the wheel, so he
couldn't get into his pocket without
stopping, but they were approaching a
village, ami he said he would stop for
something to smoke. Pulling up at a
small store, Wilkinson went in and
returned with some cigars, a pencil
and a sheet of paper. lie also had
something else I hat his companion did
not see. Lighting up. the two pro
ceeded. Wilkinson making a sketch of
his device. Kaufmau, who had no
knowledge of mechanics, did not un
derstand it, so Wilkinson proceeded to
make a practical demonstration. Roll
ing the shoot of paper into a tube a
trifle smaller at one cud than at the
other, lie crumpled a small portion Into
a little ball, which ho dropped into the
tube; then, while the captain's gaze
was on the road ahead, he dropped Into
it some rod pepper.
"You can't watch the road and my
demonstration at the same time. Stop
the machine for a moment."
Kaufman brought the nuto to a stop
and turned his face to his companion.
"This tube represents the pump, and
the crumpled bit of paper inside Is my
patent ball valve. The greater tbe
pressure on the ball the tighter It is In
the tube. When I blow on it like this
—see?"
Kaufman did not see, because Wil
kinson had blown red pepper into hia
eyes. Wilkinson jumped from the nuto
and ran like a ileer till he struck a
road, where he disappeared.
A few months later Captain Kauf
man returned to America minus a leg
that he had lost In the defense of the
fatherland. One day whom should he
meet on the street but Wilkinson.
"Ilello, captain!" said the latter in
his cheeriest voice. "When did you
get back? Come in here and have a
drink."
The captain scowled for a few mo
ments; then the scowl gave way to a
smile, and the two pledged each othei
under the star spanpled banner.
HISTORY IN RELICS
There's a Wonderful Exhibit In
the National Museum.
A FAMOUS COSTUME DISPLAY.
Besides Uniforms of National Hero**,
There Are Nineteen Qowna of the
Wives of Our President*, Beginning
With On* of Martha Washington.
A recent report on the United Stated
National museum glvea an account of
the origin and-development of the divi
sion of history which will appeal to
every American. The first building ex
pressly erected for the National mu
snum was not opened to the public un
f October, 1881, and from that data
until the occupation of the new build
ing, In June, 1911, It contained the
greater part of the exhibits. Blnc« the
opening of the new building, however,
the natural history collections have
been removed there, leaving more
space In the older building for the ex
tension of the divisions of American
history and arts and Industries.
The division was originally organized
to illustrate the history of the United
State3 from colonial times by exhibit
ing such relics and memorials of note
worthy personages and events and the
domestic life of the country as could
be brought together Into groups of ob
jects representing the different periods.
One striking feature in this connection
is the unique American period sos
tume collection of nineteen dresses be
longing to the successive hostesses of
the White House from the time of
Martha Washington to that of a recent
administration. These costumes are so
exhibited on lay figures as to bring out
the full effects of the gowns, although
no effort has been made to reproduce
the faces of the Individuals. Several
other dresses and a great number of
accessories of npparel, Including shawls,
shoes, bats and bonnets, gloves, hand
kerchiefs, combs, fans and jewelry, are
also on display.
Among the costumes and unifotms of
American men shown are a uniform
and dress suit of George Washington,
n court suit of General Thomas Plnck
ney, the court dress and other attire of
James Monroe and the uniform coat of
General Andrew Jackson, worn at the
battle of New Orleans.
Many memorials and relics of George
Washington were purchased from the
Lewis heirs and deposited In the mu
seum In 1878, which, with sundry addi
tions, now Inclnde some 400 objects.
Historical furniture which at one
time or another was the property of
men of national importance—Lafayette,
Jefferson, Putnam, Hamilton, Ganse
voort, Cooper and others—Is displayed.
Colonial relics deposited by the na
tional society of the Colonial Dames of
America fill two large cases.
The printing press used in 1725-26 by
Benjamin Franklin when a printer In
London is specially Interesting on ac
count of its connection with this noted
statesman, as well as its historical im
portance as regards the development of
the science of printing.
Models of Ave sailing vessels con
nected with the discovery and early
history of the United States represent
a viking ship, such as the Norsemen
used in their supposed early visits to
this continent in Rbout 1000 A. D.:
the Santa Maria, flagship of Columbus;
the Susan Constant, which brought
the first permanent English colony to
America; the Mayflower of the pil
grims and the United States frigate
Constitution.
The war of 1812 and the Mexican
war are represented by many swords,
pistols, guns, medals, flags, uniforms
and accouterments belonging to mili
tary and naval officers, among whom
are Generals Brown, Ripley, Shields,
Magruder, Pan!, Morgan, Browne of
the United States army, and Captain
Lawrence, U. S. N. One of the most
valued possessions of the museum Is
the star spangled banner of Fort Mc
Henry, the Inspiration of Key's Im
mortal verses. This historic flag has
been backed and repaired by an elabo
rate process, which Insures its perma
nent preservation.
Associated with the civil war are
memorials and mementos of many well
known Americans — Lincoln, Grant,
Lee, Sherman, Custer, Foote and many
others prominent in that greti strng
gla The extensive Grant collection,
occupying four cases, is especially in
teresting.
Among other prominent officers re
called by various mementos are Ma
comb, Hancock, Decatur, Perry, Bid
die, Porter, Farragut, Wilkes, Phillips,
Newcomb, Maury, Rogers and Meigs.
The historical development in science
Is shown by several individual exhib
its illustrating the work of Henry,
Morse, Field, Langley, Francis, Bache,
Morton, •Wharton and Balrd, but most
of the scientific apparatus is included
In the division of mechanical technol
ogy.

"I thought they didn't allow waiters
to take tips in this restaurant?" said
the lawyer at the table.
"We don't, sir," replied the waiter.
"1 saw that man at the next table
give you a tip just now."
"No, sir, that was not n tip, sir; that
was a retainer,"—Yonkers Statesman.
The Key Rino.
The key ring symbolizes the old cus
tom of handing over the keys of the
house to the woman. This was more
often a design used for the wedding
ring and occasionally for the betrothal.
