CASRoBERr.
short bluff-lookng man, with the red sash Of Mar
sha of France crossing his breast walking up and
down, conversing with tall man with gray hair and
mustache, and wearing white cloth coat and red
trouser The short man talks quickly and nervousy,
occasionally suddenly turning to shake hands with
one who has just entered The tall seems to defer
to his opinion and treats him with great and marked
politeness. The short is Marshal Canrober, the
hero of the Crimea and the commandant Of the military
department OF Paris and the tall is the Prince Of the
German principaity Of Hohenzollern.
THE PRINCESS MErrERNcH
The door opens, and lady comes In alone and unat-
tended but whose presence Immediately attracts about
her crowd of courtiers. There is something in her
appearance which betokens power influence and high
degree Of fascination II is not beauty; for she Is
though TALL exceedingly thin, and her face, though
kghted up with vvacity and intelligence, anything but
dsome-her mouth extravagantly large, and her eyes
fun and protruding She is dressed in exceedingly
eccentric stylein what is technically known "span-
ish mounng"-a tunic of black Illusion with alternate
bands of white satn trimmed with large red roses and
for the only head ornament an immense rod in the
back of her hair. The ladies say that one but the
eccentric daring, dashng unconventional Princess Met
ternch would be permitted to such dress at a
court ball.
