LONDON, Nov. 11.—Dr. John Watson, {or “Ian Maclaren,” has lost no time | after giving up his church in Liverpool last week, in seeking much needed rest | and recreation. The author of “Beside the Bonnie Brier Bush” and “Kate Car- negie,” is now in Paris on his way to Egypt, where he is planning to remain for five months or more. “lan Maclaren” intends to return to novel writing shortly, and judging | from a private letter receivéd from him the other day, the first of his new ro- mances will differ considerably from his previously vublisned woi«s “Religion “m play no parl in my new story, Sou : will there be any dialect worin mon- tioning.

So far as can be learned, no arrange- ments have yet been made for publish- | ing in America an exceptionally grew | some Russian novel which is to appear on this side of the water in a few days. | “The Red Laugh” is its rather striking itle, and the author, Leonidas And- | reiefs, s one of the most promising ot |the younger Russian write In Fran mangces have been published, “The Red | | Laugh” is regarded as not far behind Tolstoy at.his best. | 1t is a study of the physchology of war and is made up of fragments from the diary of a young officer who is sent home from the off, and his mind affected by the rors he has witnessed. He descries, is said, with remarkable realism the sufferings and the ghastly sights of the campaign. instances is when he spedks to a com- | rade and asks him whether he is afraf the other smiles with an effort, and at that moment is struck in the face by a shell and the smile is seen through a r hence the title of the story, The unfortunate writer of the di dies, and the journal is continued by his brother, who is also driven to mad- | ness, partly by his brother's fate, part- |1y by the news that reaches him from | the front. Often incoherent, like the words of a disordered brain, the book | is said to be one of the most moving | things in recent Russian fiction. | FOOTBALL IN OLDEN DAYS. | Apropos of the agitation now going | lon in America for making tootball | \pamlpss an antiquarian gives the rath- | er surprising information that so long | | ago as the reign of Edward III a stat- | ute was enacted forbidding the game | on account of its brutality. Henry VIII | and- Elizabeth both legislated against | | it, the latter punishing indulgence in it by imprisonment. But the game flour- | ished despite the fact that it was under the ban of the law. That Shakespeare was familiar with it s shown by a passage in “King Lear” in which Kent s to Oswald, “nor tripped neither, you base football player.” stronger is the evidence furnished by a passage in “The Comedy of Errors,” where the Ephesian Dromio says: “Am T so round with you as you with me That like a football you do spurn me thus? You spurn me hence, and he will sourn me hither. If T lest in this service, you must case me in leather.’ It was owing to the spread of Puri- tan influence, more potent than legis- | lation that-the game began to decline about the middle of the seventeenth cenury. The revival of football and its modern development in England as a game fit for civilized persons, came through the public schools which kept it alive until the athletic frenzy of the nineteenth century took possession of the country. GEORGE MEREDITH INJURED. George Meredith’s readers have spe- clal reason to feel regret over his re- cent severe fall, as during the last few weeks the author of Richard Feveral” has been engaged in fresh literary work, which he has now had to lay aside entirely. Decidedly, the luck seems to be against Mr. Meredith. Greatly enfeebled by 'his severe illness | of last year the veteran author only re- cently began to enjoy something like his usual health, and now he is again laid up indefinitely. Getting about in the bracing air of Surrey makes all the difference to the hermit of Box Hill, and for several months~Mr.” Meredith has driven out every morning in a donkey-cart, on old man servant being in attendance. Last Friday, in the act of getting into his just prior to hor fell with his right foot twisted under him in such a way that both bones of the leg were broken. The limb was set as soon as a surgeon could be sum- moned and Mr. Meredith bore the ope- ration well, but at his age—seventy-six —his qondition necessarily causes some anxiety. ————————— HUSBAND KILLED WHEN SEEKING RECONCILIATION Wife Shoots Repentant Man and Then Regrets Her Hasty Deed. PARIS, Nov. 11.—Enghien les Ba!nu has been the scene of a domestic tragedy which is not' without a poignant note. Mme. Amyot became weary of being con- tinually abused by her husband and left | him with the intention ot seeking a di- vorce. M. Amyot, who resided ln Paris, learned of his wife's new address, and sought her out with a view to effecting a reconcilia- tion. But Mme. Amyot, who was afraid of him, locked the door. *Open in the name of the law! Tt is the police com- missary!” shouted the husband. His wife replied that she would only open the door to_the police commissary in person. With one violent push M. Amyot broke open the door. His wife stood before him and fired two revolver shots at'himi. One of the bullets entered his left eye. He was taken to the hospital in a dying con- dition. The wife, realizing that she had killed her husband, burst into tears. She made a pathetic appeal to the police not to arrest her then, but to-allow her to watch by her husband's bedside until he died. Her request was granted.

LONDON, Nov. 11.—Mrs. Turner Far- ley, the plucky English yachtswoman, Wwho got Herrestoff to build her a rac- ing craft for the fifty-two-foot race in these waters, is much disappointed be- cause she has failed to realize her ex- | pectations of being able to hoist more winning flags at the close of the sea- son than any of her competitors. The | class furnished the keenest racing of | the season, and, although Mrs. Farley's | boat, the Sonya, was beaten in most of | the Ccontests, the margin between her | and the winning boat was always a | small one and she always had the worst of the luck. Mrs. Farley's con- fidence in the Yankee designer is not @ bit shaken and she will Sonya next year, she hopes, with bet- ter results. As a yacht is seldom tuned up to her best form the first season, it | is not improbable that she may come out on top of her class next year. In years past(Herreshoff has built several hts for | women and they inVariably showed a | clean pair of heels to their competi- tors of British design. But in build- ing for the fifty-two-foot class the ‘ankee wizard was tackling a harder task than has ever becn intrusted to him by an English client—feminine or masculine. with which he was which had been expressly devised ‘to | bar racing machines pure and simple, | in the design of which Herreshoff has always shown himself supreme. With such shackles imposed on his genius it is not to be wondered failed to repeat his earlier triumphs. | But it won't be Mrs. fault if he does not do the trick next vear and with the same boat. ————————— | AMBITIOUS CHICAGO GIRL FINDS MALMESBURY unfamiliar and SLow ‘(onllelll of fluflalk Geeks a Country Seat in One of England's - Hunting Shires. | LONDON, Nov. 11.—It larly fascinated with the country-resi- dence which her husb: has provided for her at Malmesbury, in Wiltshire. | She wants to_go into the Midlands and | with this object in view she is looking out-for a suitable place in either War- wick, Leicester or Derby. For the last two or three years American women \ have helped to popularize these partic- | ular counties, with the result that the present time it is not easy to get |a house there suited to the require- | ments of the Duchess of Suffolk, who, like most of her wealthy country- | women, has a penchant for doing | things on a big scale. The Mldlands has always been noted | for the magnificence of its hunting | parties, and the Countess desires to be | in with the best of them. Wiltshire | was until a few years ago a popular hunting county, but its glories have faded since Mrs. Frank Mackey, Mrs. Loney, Mrs. Ambrose Clark and Fox- | Midlands. Up to the ‘present moment | the only place that could appear to the | Countess of Suffolk is a lovely house | called “Rockside,” in the nelghborhood | of Buxton. It fs on the ‘estate of the | Duke of Devonshire and has been for | some years carried on as a hydropathic | establishment. If the local authorities | | allow certain.structural alterations to | be made to bring the house up to the Countess’ ideas of comfort and luxury | she will take the place at once and | convert it into a family residence. The grounds are extensive. There is plenty | of shooting and fishing. What is most- | ly needed is stabling accommodation. —_—————————— | BLUE EYES BAR BROWN | DRRSSES THIS SEASON Each Costume, Parisian Couturiers Agree, Must Represent Symphony of Colors. PARIS, Nov. 1L.—The fashion this txll has veered round to directoire styles. The chic Parisienne favors tight fitting glossy satin gowns veiled by soft, clinging drap- erfes of mousseline de sole caught in by | directoire yokes. \ | Every such costume is supposed to rep- resent a symphony of color, and artists of soclety tastes are besieged with appli- cations from their fair friends for strange effects in blcnded dead tints. The cou- turiers bave seized the new passion for color harmonies, and peremptorily refuse %rders from clients who will not bend to the edict prescribing that every detall of a costume must take into consideration the color of the eyes. Blue eyes, for example, are held to make brown unthinkable as the dominat- ing element of a robe. —_—————————— Ask the man who knows.

They are now to be fashioned minus trains, and, to | be absolutely correct, should scarcely touch the ground when the wearer is.in | the throes of the waltz or lancers. There 1s no doubt that the long train has often inspired the nervous man with such terror that he has frequently chosen the part of a wallflower rather than incur the frightful risk of getting ‘his feet tangled up in the superfluous drapery and perhaps coming a nasty cropper oy the waxed floor. - The inno- vation is a very practical and sensible one and will go far to put a stop to the complaint everywhere heard that there are not enough dancing men to go around. - ———————— Tallsmanic Gems the Fad. PARIS, Nov.' 11.—Talismanic gems are the fad of the hour. Society, which has been reveling in occultism, is hav- ing the jewels reset cabalistically. All fashionable Parislans are now wearing mystically engraved amulets to ward off evil influences. Mounted in plati- num and gold the jewels are being set in fantastic designs as rings, pendants, bracelets and necklaces. ——————————— The Auto in Warfare.

AVENUE WINS SUCCESS 1S ENTERTAIER Former American Belle Who Married Sir Charles Ross Is Popular in Britain, S S R e Speclal Dispatch to The Call. LONDON, Nov. 1l.—Lady Ross, who as Miss Ellison was one of the belles ot ‘Louisville, Ky., is this week helping her! husband, Sir Charles Ross, to entertain royalty in the person of Prince Arthur of | Connaught at Balnagowan, their fine old seat in Ross-shire, Scotland. Sir Charles is a good deal of what I have heard an American friend call a “high roller.”” It' was due to: the fact that he had been dining “hot ‘wisely but too well”” that he fell down the stairs of the Automobile Club last summer and had to lay up for repairs for several weeks, which caused Lady Ross to cancel all her social en- gagements for the time being. She is his second wife. Sir Charles did not get along well with the first and the marriage was dissolved. Miss'Ellison married him with her eves open and thus far has given no! evidence that she has repented of her bargain, and on his part he did hot lay | himself open to the charge of marrying for money. He owns an immense domain | in Scotland and is, indeed, one of the| largest landed proprietors in the United Kingdom. And his wife is acknowledged to be one of its most charming hostesses. | It is not generally known that Mrs. Carnegie identifies herself rather actively with the charitable work of her country- woman, Mrs. Adair. Other English and American women frequently appeal tol her for support in connection with their charitable enterprises, but what she gives away for bazaars and things of that sort is generally reserved for Mrs. Adair's af- fairs. She always stipulates, too, that her name must not appear on bazaar stalls or programmes of entertainments. “What I can afford to give away,” she, wrote a week ago to a lady who was ’n_i teresting herself in a starving widow with six children living in the East End of London, “I give without any desire to ————————————————— i ! | | tonic laxa- IGOR and A tiny, chbcolate coat tive tablet that gives. ). health to - the STOMACH, LIVER and 3OWELS, thereby curing— Sick Headaches Biliousness Sa.llow Complexion 'l'orpid Liver pepsia Jaundice Indln-uon Heartburn Loss of Appetite Pimples Sour Stomach .
