COMMENT AND GOSSIP AMONG
THE WOMEN. BY ONE
. OF THEM.
Princess Louise, Marchioness of
Lorne, is perhaps the most democratic
of Queen Victoria’s daughters, so far
as such a term can be applied to any
royal princess. She has no sympathy
with pretensions and affectations.
On many occasions her Royal High-
ness has done things with her own
hands that women whose chief claim to
consideration existed in their own
imagination would have r'ung the bell
for a servant to do.
Once, when visiting the school room
of a certain little lady who had very
exalted ideas of her own rank, she dis-
covered that alfairs between pupil and
governess were a little strained. The
princess inquired of the governess the
cause. The little lady, at once sure of
the right on her side, burst in with:
“Miss F. wanted me to clean my slate.
Surely a duke’s daughter need not
clean her own slate!”
“Miss F. is quite right,” said the
princess, “I am the queen’s daughter,
and I always cleaned my slate.” '
Once. when Princess Louise was pre-
siding at a committee meeting, when
leaving the holise where it was held
the hostess dropped her bangle. She
was politely waiting until the princess
had passed to pick it up, but to her
surprise Princess Louise stooped, pick-
ed it up and gave it to her, saying sim-
ply, “I might have trodden on your
pretty bracelet.” . ’
The dignity of royal ladies depends
upon other things than small ob-
servances, although in tha matter of
etiquette they are all ptst mistresses
when occasion requires. .

Broad-cloth Gown from Paris.
Broadcloth, which is in great de~

in the various late effects of brown, is
the material of a handsome gowu
made up with’rich flowered moire of
new design. .While the outlines of
many of the French cor-sages are more
varied forms of jacket and fancy waists.
Plastrons also, in great variety, are
continued. The jacket front of this
gown laps far to the left side, where
it is fastened with three large silver
buttons. In this instance the jacket

seams, and opening over the flowered

BIDS FOR BATTLESHIPS. 7’
The Contracts Likely to Be Distributed
Among Several Firms.
\Vashington, Sept. 2,—Four firms of-
fered bids yesterday for the threeonew
battleships authorized by the last con-
gress. Many details of construction
will figure in the awards. The lowest
bid for each type of one vessel fol-
lows:
Newport News Shipbuilding Company
of Newport News, Va, $2,580,000:
Cramps’ Shipbuilding Company of
Philadelphia, .$2,650,00(‘¢ -
Union Iron Works of San Francisco,
$2,674,000. -
$2,840,000. "
that the government is going to secure
very much more in the matter of pews
er and speed thanwvas expected; thal
the cost is going to be less than was
paid proportionately for the Illinois
class; and finally, that the department
will be able to distribute the work am.
ong the three big building concerns,‘a
method of construction that always
redounds to the advantage of the gova
ernment.
The bids Were opened just after noon
in the presence of a number of repre<
sentatlves of shipbuilding concerns, 0!
bureau chiefs, and other men connqu
ted with the department. ~ .4
.l
Washington, Sept. 2.——The bids Opo-
ened yestetrday for three battleships
’are eminently satisfaetOry to the naval
experts. The proposals are within the
appropriations available, and are con<
sidered reasonable in all~respects. I!
Is a foregone conclusion that the con.
tracts will be awarded to the New:
port News Company at $2,850,000, thd
Crampsat $2,885,000, and the Union
Iron Works at $2,899,000, on plans mad!
by the builders and providing for 18«
knot'vessels. The Cramps' ship will be
of 12,150 tons displacement, the New«
port News vessel of 12,500 tons, and the
Union Iron Works ship of 12,200 tons.
The other bids will not be considered.
The department does not propose to
construct a 17-knot battleship,— or out!
not according to its own designs, when
vessels of 18 knots “can be obtained
within the limit of cost. 4
