THE QUEEN MEETS THE SHAH.
The meeting between the Queen and the shah was
very funny. The conversation carried through
the Persian Minister. The Queen stood for a moment
admirlng the large emerald and diamond buckles tho
Shah wore his wastband and coat, and having sat
down she modoned him seat beside her, which

lips hard to keep from laughing. However, she

that ladies' gowns were to have an artificial ex-
crcscence behind. Every one, with very few e1-
ccpons wore perfectly plain skirts with little or no
trimming and as fat behind as N front-a fashion
most becoming to slight figures.
