THE ORDER OF THE SUN GIVEN To
PRINCESS BIsMARCK.-TheS Shah of Per
STA has sent Princess Bismarck decora-
ton, which certainly no woman before
her has ever possessed. 1t is some time
since the Shah presented all the decora-
tions which are his to bestow to Prince
Bismarck. He has thus set an example
of enlightenment to his people by consid-
ering lady so much the equal of men
that she is worthy to wear the highest
decoration of Persia. The German En-
peror has given his appreciation, which
was necessary before the Princess could
accept the high distinction offered TO
her. Society is now verv eager to see
the Star of the Sun, which will cover

Trust that coming season may find
us in better shape to put up such
buildings as we may require. The
