A Royal " Case of Emergency"

result, a tremendous rent in the sweeping
skirt, and a long whisp of gown trailing
on the floor. Before the princess had
time to appeal to one of her ladies in
waiting, the crown prince of Prussia had
produced a pretty little morocco etui,
from which he extracted a dainty pair of
scissors, and kneeling down at the feet of
the bride skillfully cut away the wreck.
After he had effectually relieved the prin-
cess of her incumhrance he rose, bowed
profoundly, returned his lease OF emer-
gency' to his pocket and resumed his place
by the kings side, amid the subdued muir
murs of satisfaction of all the ladies near
him.

One of the common sights of Rome is
to view the assortment of umbrellas
hoisted on rainy day. The opportunity
Is frequent, for when the drops fall they
do SO on scale SO generous that, as dur
ing the present month, the rain continues
three weeks. Under the dome of the
skies nothing was ever seen to surpass the
parachute picture. The colors of the rain
bow are not more varied. Outside the
rapidly disappearing Roman peasant cos
tune the umbrella has the next greatest
amount of character in it. The rents that
time and accident have made are patched
with any gay looking scrap, and its size
SO distended by the elasticity of the goods
that when opened it covers the sidewalk.
Without his umbrella the peasant is not
at ease. Rain or shine he carries it under
his arm, for with him it is maxim that
dogs and strangers are the only ones who
walk in the sun as well as in the wet
Yet he too is ridiculed in the fashionably
cut clothes of the present Romans, with
their sharp toed patent leather boots and
