It is an insult to the dignity of a King and Queen of Ireland to be asked to live in such a place. Originaily erected as keeper's lodge, it has been added to and embellished at their own expense by successive Lord Lieutenants, in- cluding the renowned Lord Chester- field Dublin Castle is merely the seat of Ireland and has the Government in po domestic accommodations except for flunkies and castle servants. It has an interesting history, for around it cling memories good and bad that are intimately associated with the history of Ireland and England, as well as some of the most famous men of the past and present generation. The mil- police, the detective department ecret service have their head- here. The castle is the sym- bol of British rule in Ireland. It will be the duty of the detective depart- ment referred to to provide protection for the Duke and Duchess just as Scotland Yard in London does for the King and Queen; even more so, because the Government in Ireland is always doubtful of the loyalty of the Irish people and especially those of Dablin. The Dublin people, in striking con- trast to other capitals of Europe, are the most rebellious against the Govern- ment. The Duke's father was unmer- cifully caricatured during his term of office. It was said that he was so par- simonious that he used to sell the fruit and vegetables which grew around the Viceregal lodge. He was depicted on one occasion wearing a ducal coronet standing behind a counter selling cent's worths of milk and cabbage.

Lately, however, he was approached by the Moderate (or Con- ser ive) party in the London Coun- cil with the view of contesting a seat in Paddington, where a fierce battle was to be waged for the repossession of two seats which the Moderate party the election three years ago. The leaders of the party in. the con- ituency were, however, almost dum- unded when they learned from Mr. Astor that he was a strong admirer of what the London County Council had been doing for London, and that if he could make up his mind at all to con- test a scat it would be in the Progr sive—or Liberal—interest.

The country was convulsed with political strife, while a devastating famine swept the land, but the late Duchess was equal to the occasion. She worked hard to ameliorate the conditions of the people and by her personal aid many Irish families were kept from starving. She even enlisted the co-operation of music hall artists. The poor old Duke stood silently while the Duchess worked: indeed, she practically administered the Govern- ment of Ireland. It is believed in Ire- land that that identical position will be repeated when the present Duke and his wife act for the time being as King and Queen in Ireland. At any rate, an enthusiastic member of- Parliament. digcussing with the writer yesterday thé prospects of the Duchess going to Ireland, summed up his remarks thus: “Thank God the Irish people have an opportunity of placing the name of an American woman on its roll of queens.” —_— 2 & AMERICAN WOMAN WHO MAY GRACE 4 THRONE. | = - — STYLES FOR WOMEN TO WEAR i | UGLY, SAYS PARISIAN Costumer Says the Fashions Are Not Esthetic and Reaction Must Come. PARIS, April 2.—A prominent pho- tographer, when interviewed this week on the prevailing women’s fashions, said he considered them ugly, and that it never has been more difficult than at present to produce handsome photo- graphs on account of the unesthetic costumes. It is inexplicable, he said, that handsome women will consent to wear such complicated toilets. A re- action is certain to come soon, with flat plaited skirts following the natural outline. He considers that automo- biling makes women neglect beauty in dress. Fashion’s latest decrse is that women must wear either large or diminutive hats, according to the style of the fea- tures. It is noticeable at the races that big capelines made of horsehair are popular. The stylish woman wears lace falling over the hair in what is known here as the imperatrice style. Principal materials for dresses this summer will be voile tussore, muslin taffetas. The toilet for balls is considered incomplete without some headdress, the latest novelty being crowns consisting of laurel leaves made of gold, copied strictly after the ancient Greek crowns, of which several specimens are pre- served in the Louvre. This classic or- nament has been found exceedingly . WOMEN . VARI-COLORED SHOES Paris Gives Approval to a Fahcy Style of Footwear for the Fair Sex. - PARIS, April 23.—The fashions in feminine : footwear for the summer show. some striking novelties. For example, shoes half white and half yellow are shown as an extreme style, permissible “to the correctly dressed woman. But red shoes will not “do” at all. "Richelieu shoes are shown in brown, gray and white. Shoes of glace kid with tops of lasting cloth, which is much cooler than leather, will be generally worn. For evening slippers of maroon satin will be worn with stockings of the same color. Gilt kid slippers with buckles are also good style. Fabulous Profits at Monte Carlo. MONTE CARLO, April 23.—It is an ipstructive comment upon the reports of phencmenal gain by gamblers at the tables this season that the receipts to date are $1,2560,000 ahead of last year, when they were more than $6,000,000. The only big player who took away considerable gains this season was Lord Villiers, - who told a friend that he cleared $110,000. i g handsome on hair dressed low on the neck.

LONDON, April 23.—Hatters’ shop windows are full of straws, and it is apparent that the Panama or its sub- stitute should be more in evidence than ever if preparations of hatters are appreciated by the public. Women also may be seen under the shade of the so-called Panama, the models shown having a beil crown and broad brim. A loose silk scarf is tied about the crown, hanging over the back in graceful folds. ————— Composer to Be Married.
