wife has purchased at such substantial

travagance reached the eliminating mad
ness of a contemplated settlement in
England on fairly regal scale he put an
intcrdict on it, The social aspirations of
his family are averred to have made de-
cided cavity in his ready money. His
wife's failure in Paris alone cost him at
least couple of millions, and her waste
fulness IN London surpassed all prCc-
edents. Mr.. Mackay is a very rich man,
his wealth is so disposed that to snstain Il
prolongation of these amazing outlays he
would be forced to sacrifice important
business interests. This ne refcses TO do.
The project for purchasing Houghton
Hall was really broached to him, and he
sat down upon it promptly. Pouts and
persuasions failed TO move him. For

ROYAL Marriages.

Great Britain will regret TO hear that the
marriage of the Princess Beatrice does
not promise to be as happy as might be
wished While il is understood that she
is likely to give proof this winter that she
loves her lord, the London newspapers
which make a speciality of reporting the
feelings of the royal family and the no.

declare she Is disappointed in her mar
riage Marriage is a lottery, in royal as

for her lot the handsOmest man in Eu-

the handsomest man in society Is apt to
prove poor matrimonial bargain. Those
of us who have both daughters and ex-
perience are content with the second or
third handsomest man, and those OF us
who have more than once gone through
the mill are content to dispense with
good looks altogether If we can get for
our daughters man who is honest and

Husband and Wife.

Des Moines Mail A man has an eve
for beauty in his wife. He notices the
soft wave OF her hair and fit of her gown
with sort of pleasurabie pride, even
after time and trials have dimmed the
glamour OF first love. The successful
wife must represent to her husband all
the virtue; must be sympathetic, and at
the same time sensible. She must be
bright. entertaining and agreeable at
home AS well rs abroad, and she must
know how 10 preserve silence when 1t is
desirable TO hold her tongue, even if she
is ready TO burst with Indignation. If
sIe does not possess these qualities let
her cultivate them most assiduously.
And there is not trait that is such pow
crful factor in household harmony as as

and purpose, to have Kindred tastes and

in Europe to-day is Victoria, crown
princess of Germany. She is the one re-
deeming spot in the dull German court; a
woman gifted with all good gifts, AMI so
sweet that even those who cannot appre-
ciate her adore her in silence. Her sister
Alice, the ill-fated wife of the Prince of
Hesse, was SO tender daughter, so true
n wife, so devoted n mother, that her me-

their daughters as the record of life

did not convince the Canadians that she
was as loyal TO her husband rs the con-
jugal law required, She may be a good
wife, but European gossip describes her
as too constantly separated from her hus-
band to fulfill strict matrimonial obliga-
ton. The law says that the wife shall
cleave unto her husband. She cannot
well cleave if he Is at Edmonton while
she remains at Ware. The queen says in
her memoirs that her marriage was a
love match, dating from boy and girl
affection. AS rule the nursery Is a bad

Princess Beatrice is said TO have drawn
blank in the matrimonial lottery. If so,
kindly people will be sorry. She has
been gentle daughter, tenderly affec-
tIonate to morose old mother. She was
fairly entitled to a good husband.
A story is floating through the papers
that the eldest son of the Prince of Wales,
who, if he lives, will come to be King of
Great Britain and Ireland and Emperor
of India, is about to marry IN American
girl. We do not believe it. The laws of
monarchical etiquet TO forbid any such
alliance. The young prince will probably
be restricted in his choice to those pauper
German families whose stock in trade is
various quarterings and their strict ad-
herence TO the protestant religion. 1t
would be a hopeful sign if the Prince of
Wales dared to depart from precedent so
far as to permit his son TO marry plain
Miss Smith of New York or Miss Jones
of Philadelphia. But the American
public would be surprised TO learn that
modern ideas had made such progress
that such a marriage was possible.

What a Jap Must DO TO Call Woman
His Legal Wife.

Louisville Commercial: The recent
japanese marriage in this city has caused
some discussion as to the marriage rites
performed in the native land of the Jap.
Mr.. L. Shlmoka of the japanese village
at the exposition gives the following:
The marriage is preceded by the cere-
mony of betrothal,a ,at which all tie mem
bers of the two families are present 1t
often happens that the parties concerned
then for the first time are informed of
the intentions OF their parents with re-
gard to them. From this time the couple
are allowed 10 see each other on every
opportunity. Visits, invitations, pres
ents, preparations for furnishing
theibad their future some sned a4d the wh Ga
their approaching future. The wedding
generally takes place when the bride
groom is over 20 years old and the bride
in her 18th year or over. The morning
of the appointed day the groom dresses,
and the toilet articles of the bride are
carried to the bridegroom S house and ar
ranged in the room appointed for the
ceremony. Among many decorations the
small table supports figures representing
long life, such as the stork and turtle,
supposed to live longer than any other
creatures. In the evening splendid
procession enters the hall, headed by the
young wife, clothed and veiled in white
silk, escorted by two bridemaids and fol-
lowed by crowd of relatives and neigh
bors; also friends in full costume, all
giittering with brocaded and scarlet en-
broidery. The two bridemalds and two
or three young girls who are the friends
of the bride volunteer for the service,
wearing the same costume, per-
form the honors of the house, arrange
the guests and flurter from one place
to another to see that all are made com
Portable. Among the objects displayed
in the middle of the circle of guests there
is deep saucer of soft ware made for the
occasion. 1t has metal vase which is
| furnished with two spouts and elegantly
adorned with artificial flowers. At a
given signal one of the bride maids fills
the vase with shake" queer liquid
poured into the saucer. The bride drinks
one-hal of the liquid and the bridegroom
drinks the other halt. After this every.
body is invited to the dining-room,
where the best man" sings the happy
song and serves out the great dinner 10
all. With the exception of certain
Buddhist sects and Christians, a priest or
| clergyman never takes part IN the cele-
bration. The person known as the best
man acts as priest and performs the mar
riage ceremony. The next day after the
marriage follows festival given by the
police officer who has given permission
for the nuptials. He then places the
newly married couple on his list,

Soap and the Complexion.

A new theory has been started with
regard 10 the use of soap ON the face.
Women who for years have been careful
of their compilations would never, under
any circumstances, wash the face with
soap, AS ii Was said 10 roughen and coars-
en- the skin. Now this idea is exploded,
and "a well-known physician in the met
ropolitan profession recommends his wo-
men patients to use 1t freely every day,
lathering the skin well. OF course, II
fine, oily, and pure soap is nos DESTROYS.
This being secured, he states that non
but the most beneficial results will be
effected by this method of improving the
skin. lie holds, with considerably plau-
slbilIty, that the pores of the FACE be-
come as much clogged by grease OF dirt
~ the hands or any other portion of the
body. And if soap is considered IA neces-
sary purifier in the bath, il needs must
be felt equally ON the face, By an album
bant and regular lathering the facial
pores, he claims, are kept open, clean,
free from the ~clogging matter thai pro-
duces ~unsightly black heads, acne, and
pimples, and a pure, healthy, fresh and
brighter complexion is the resultant.
Not mincing matters, he says that the
trouble with most women who have sal
low, nasty skins is that from years end
to years end they e. have a really
clean face.
An article published in Good House
keeping says: Hands kept dirty are
never smooth and white. Absolute clean

do not work seldom wash their hands.
