dame of enormous wealth, who IN
stalled herself in royal state in the
American quarter. The COCO Queen
had never been able to account for
the curious ways of the American wo'

them, and in q moment of ungovern-

She had even made up her mind to
refuse TO receive these ladies at court,
because she couldn't understand how
wives on good terms with their hus'
bands could pass seasons apart. She
never fully comprehended the sltua-

ready spoken OF came with q small
hoy OF five and daughter OF about
the same age. She was herself net
more than tWenty~three or twenty

court. AS she passed before the Queen,
the fastidious monarch called the
chamberlain, and pointing out the
new conner, asked who she was. The
Chamberlain looked at his list, and
gave the name Nine. -- OF
Minneapolis, Minnesota. The royal
hostess then declined to have her pre-
scented, and Eequ ested the mortified
official to inform the stranger that
she could not be received at court

and having schooled the danes OF her
court into moderation, did not pro-
pose to let untitled strangers display
more neck and arms than the Ell
quette permitted.
When informed of the Queens re-
fusaI to permit the presentation, the
Minneapolis dame laughed In the

noted this and found out the cause.
unlike bis wife, he rather liked the
lady's style OF dress. and he caused
the spirited American to know that
| he enjoyed her wicked wit. The two
came together one day IL q pretty
little suburb of Pirna. Toe King
paid madame marked attention, and
soon gave her access to the royal
chateau. This episode reached the
Queens ears and she kept an eye on
the pair. No one was ever audaclous
enough to assert openly that she had
cause for jealousy, though the King
and the American were often seen OF
an afternoon in the park. When she
drove Through the broad alleys and
the horses drew up at the music
stand, the good -natured Albert would
ride up on bis white charger and pass
an agreeable half hour chatting with
the sudscious American. The hirta'
ton went on for months in the public
drives at Pirns. The King made 8
