his father thinks il time 10 put an end to
these German alliances. Hence the in
tercst in the marriage of Louise, oldest
daughter of the Prince of Wales.
Bear in mind that the rcigning family
Of England is only English" in the same
sense that SO many New York aldermen
are "Amoricans' is, they have be-
come naturalizcd and taken the oath of
Office. The first two Georges were en-
phatically German, and subsequent in
tcrmarriages leave the prince with so
little British blood in his veins that "No
hcraldry Harvey could ever succeed in
finding the circulation.
The marriage of his daughter to the
Earl Of Fife will do more to thoroughly
AngliCizo the family than any previous
alliance. The earl is nineteen years older
than tho girl he is To marry, and was a
boon companion of her father, the prince,
in those days when the latter was SOW
ing his wild OATS: but his blood is ceru-
lean and he has gold galore-an income
of $500, 900 year. His family as a noble
one dates back to 1i0i. In fact, as every
reader of English history knows, the
names of Fife and Macduff have been
noted in the north of the island from the
very beginning of modern civilization.
The present earl was Niscount Macduff
in his early years, but it is already an
nounccd that her gracious majesty will
make him duke if it is necessary to
settle questions of precedence.
II is necessary 10 say great deal about
the earl because there is really very little
to say about the princess. The daughters
of the Prince of Wales are not at all
beautiful in tho accepted sense, but
they have very pleasing, innocent faces
Some London writers have essayed to
compliment the bride expectant by
saying that when she rides with her
grandmother the queen in the park
tho resemblance between them is very
marked. Americans will accept the
statement of fact and reserve their
opinion rs to the compliment" The
bridegroom expectant has taken pains
TO announce that he would scorn to
ask parliament To mako a settlement" on
the princess; but Lord Salisbury init
mates that as a matter of precedent it
must be done. AS her majesty has
twcnty-three grandchildren yet unpro-
vided for this is a serious subject.

Two things Mt the beginning Of the em-

an added importance. Ono was the in

was the rage for fancy costume balls in
Paris
The first ono of these entertainments
took place at the house of Mime. Tascher
de la Pagerie, one Of the relatives of the
emperor, and was comparatively small
affair of an intimate and private charac-
ter. The empress appeared at it in her

by Worth, and which was dress In black

She gave her own first fancy ball at
tho Hotel d'Albe, then on the Champs
Elysees, but long since torn down. For
this entertainment Worth made her an
elegant costume, in which she was to
have personatcd Diana. The quivcr was
in silver, and the empress had caused a
portion of the diamonds Of the crown to
be mounted as long garland Of oak
leaves and acorns, which she was to have
worn fastened transversely across the cor
sage. But the mysterious death Of a
young relative of the imperial family.
who was shot by some person or persons
unknown, prevented her from appearing

quite sure il had your taste shouldn't

that sarcasm: she didn't understand it.
What do women come TO me for. If they

pay for, Why don't they make their

about it? Another lady said; You make

Before this Worth had done a little
