It is the substantfal but modest cottage in waich the great painter was born and which has been carefully restored and decorated with explanatory tablets and inscriptions to the first American who competed ully with the artists_of the old world. The various art galleries of Philadelphia have been for years collecting canvasés of West wherevere and whenever they were of- fered for sale. KEvery effort is under way to have a worthy number of these hung in the Benjamin West wing of the Although sthe “betrothal of Princess Yolande of Italy has been rumored quite ap often as the British Princess Miry's, nevertheless there is a strong undercurrent of probability in the re- port which connects her name with the heir of the King of the Belgians, Prince Leopold Albert, Duke of Bra- bant.

The Princess Yoldinde s the eldest of the four daughters of the King and Queen of Italy.

As a mark of changing ideas and asplrations those who remember Lady Constance Stewart-Richardson, who first_introduceds-the -Greek- style of dancirtg and so shocked even sophisti- cated New York, will be deeply inter- ested to know that she has forsaken the greensward and the flimsy gar- ments in which she frolicked as a nymph and ‘has gone whole-heartedly into the campaign of her sister, Miss Mary Ramsay Stewart-Richardson, who is making a prodigious effort to become the first woman elected from Scot'and to the British pariiument. Though the Scotch thereabout think little of electing a woman, her chances seem to be improving. Lady i Constance, who' was also the first to jdon riding breeches and top boots on Rotten Row, Hyde Park. and called down upon her head the ‘most scath- ing rebuke from King Edward VII, is proving as fascinating a public and is gaining many coyverts to her sister's cause.

If the aspirations of women in tho Ider world to share the political bu: {dens with their brothers is realized in proportion to the estimates of the past year, it will soon be nip and tuck at all elections. Sweden has elected five j women to parllament during the past ar and twice that number have al- eady announced their determination to replace the present masculine in- cumbents. Of this largest feminine { contingent sltting. in any legislative hamber of the world one is conserva- i tive, two are liberals and two are so- ialists, and all are women of affairs } and factors of importance in the com- munity. ~ Miss Elizabeta Tarum of Stockholm and Gothenburg is exceed- ingly wealthy, has managed. her large jestates for years and is known as an agricultural experl. Besides electing { two members of pariiument, the kun |lish pcople have recently honored | the!r newly enfranchised citizens by Imaking them mayors of four large iand prosperous cities.

As some docu- ments which the late Marquis of Saligbury never published during his life have been included with some of hix private correspondence, Lady Gwendolin’s volumes are as much in demand as a popular novel. Lady Rhondda. daughter of tHe late food administrator, presents that stern and efficient “lord of the manna,” as he was jocularly called during the war, in two massive volumes, which arrest attention as much for the worth of the material as for.the general out- line of the political and social con- ditions_existing when Lord Rhondda began his administration.
