first year of exile daughter was born
to Mary Beatrice, who proved very
ray of sunshine on her gloomy and
darkening path. The child gave early
promise of the intelligence and beauty
which distinguished the mother, and it
was touching sight to witness the Pc
culiar love and tenderness which from
the first dawn Of reason she evinced
toward her unhappy father. He called
her lovingly 'sLa Conso}atrice, y
and said he now had one daughter who
had never ''sinned against HIM" She
became the comfort and stay Of her
soon widowed mother, her tender and
sympathetic child, companion and
friend. Mary Beatrice in her adyersitY
and dependence was still admired and

scenes she shrunk instinctively, finding
no enjoyment in worldly pleasures and

it, she paid visit of ceremony to the
court and the royal family at Versailles.
Ali were impressed with the charm Of
her conversation and the grace and ele-
gance Of her manner, and after her de
parture the aged king exclaimed with
enthusiasm to those about him, ''See
what q Queen ought to be!' But the
exiled queen was now called upon to
bear the heaviest grief that had yet be-
fallen her, in Che loss of her idoliZed
daughter, whose premature death re
suited from a malignant epidemic after
a few days illness, and in the very
bloom of her youth and beauty. The
stricken mother bore even this crush
ing blow with a resignation that was
saint]ike. She spent the rest Of her
life in the retirement Of the convent OF
Chollet, where the gifted superioress
and few other chosen spirits consoled
her solitude, shared her 'devotions, anu
cheered with their gentle ministry the
years which remained OF her earthly
pilgrimage. After she had been thirty
years an exile, bereft OF home and for

many months prey to a painful NAL

The Newest Designs in Tights

Tights are among the chief goods we
sell" said stage costumer recently to are
porter of the New York Nail and Express.
They are used in almost every show in
the country, and the demand for them Just
now is very large"
DO they wear out easilyY
"That depends entirely on the show the
wearer is acting in. Circus riders buy the
most. The rosin on the horses back causes
them to wear out very quickly. Then the
wearer's perspiring makes it necessary to
have them washed every time they are
used. bareback circus rider will wear
out two pairs of tights week. They cost
from 81 pair to any price the purchaser
wishes to give The average price paid by
circus riders is Sc pair. They are plain
woven tights, but are very strong. There
are innumerable varieties in materials. in
styles, in colors, and still more in fits.
The cheapest varieties are made of cotton.
These are made in all colors-hesh, white.
black, unbleached, chocolate and brown.
Then there are fine cotton tights, worsted
tights, Isle thread tights, French cotton
tights and silk tights"
Do you sell them ready made or make
them to order? ?"
The best qualities are all made to
measure. We have the makeup or model
of a number of actors and actresses, and can
make them as often as they are wanted"
"What do you mean by the makeup,
You don't suppose those people have
the goods made to fit their true forms, do
you? Not more than one-ffth of them
have their tight-ftting clothes made with
out padding. How would premier dam
seuse look posing before her audience if
her costume were not made to give her a
soft, rounded appearance? We make
padded skirts, padded hips, padded arms,
padded insteps, padded thighs, padded
legs, and, in fact, padded everything. The
pads are made of fine lambs wool When
large ballet is being organized we have
to go into this padding business very ex-
tensively. Some of the prettiest girls are
slightly knocked-kneed or bow-legged. We
have to straighten them out and produce
the fine, Venus-like looking forms that
you see on the stages We have artists
who make specially of this, and in some
particular cases they make model of the
actress, perfect the model and then make
the goods up"
