HIS WEAKNESS FOR WOMEN.
Stories to Show the German Monarch Is g
Bit of Masher.

Stories to Show the German Monarch Is n
Bit of n NIasher.
From Berlin Letter.
In spite of the fact that the young German
Emperor has a shriveed arm necessitating the
use of an eating instrument, which is in reality
a combined knife and fork, or fork sharpened on
one edge for cutting purposes, he is, among his
intimates, jolly, good fellow, fond of all the
pleasures of life, and much given to practical
Joking and nonsense in general. His left arm,
the shrveled one, is not only considerably
shorter than the other, but is almost absolutely
without strength. The only use he can put it
to is to remove his cigar or cigarette. However,
the right arm is endowed with extraordinary
strength and vigor, and this youthful monarch
is not averse to putting it to a very noble use at
times, to w.t. eucircling a taper waist. During
the trip to Norway this summer he took great
pleasure in ranging about incog., and one day
an officer of the imperial yacht had the msfor-
tune to come face to face with the young En-
peror when the latter had very pretty girl by
his side. What was to be done ? 1t was too
late to turn back. To halt, face front, and
salute would put the youthful monarch in a bad
fix. Under these circumstances the officer
into shop window. Suddenly he felt sharp
pinch on his arm and heard a voice whispering:
"You did that very nicely. Try to find as
| pretty girl as | have. You have leave of alb
! sence until tomorrow morning." The EN-
perors special chum is Count Eulenburg, and
the two friends, attired in the style of well-to-
| do citizens, take great delight in knocking
about the streets of Berlin, arm in arm, smoking
cigarettes and ogling the girls. Nor is he above
the indscretion of coming to halt and having
friendly chat when he hears cocotte cry out:
"Oh, look at the handsome blonde !"

The Dress of a London Bride.

The wedding dress worn at recent fashion
able London wedding that of Lady Helen Dun
combe and Sir Edgar Vincent, X. G. NJ. g., is
described as chef d'Ceuyre by the correspondent
of the Philadelphia Telegraph. The gown itself
was of dead-white satin, very trying to most
girls, but admirably becoming to the Lady Helen.
1t was made quite simply, without the Medici
collar so popular among brides during the last
two years, but having frill of point de gaze
round the neck, slightly draping the bodice and
finishing in a point at the waist. girdle of
silver rings, formed of sequins, was passed twice
round the waist and fell in long ends finished
off with tasses, to the hem of the skirt. But it
was in the train that lay the novelty Of this we'd
ding dress. 1t hung loose from the shoulders,
fastened by ropes of white silk and silver, and
was lined with white satin. Itwas composed of
rich white silk, brocaded with an exquisite de-
sign of ST. Joseph lilies. These were outlined in
raised embroidery, the flowers being worked in
white silk the leaves and stalk in green, and the
stamens in yellow. The effect was most beauti-
full, and was heightened by the bridal bouquet
being composed entirely of natural st. Joseph
lilies. The wedding veil of Brussels point lace
was fastened by diamond star, present Of the
bridegroom, and the only other ornament worn
was diamond necklace.

A Study of Smokers.

From Ell Porvenr.
lfa man smokes his cigar only enough to keep
it lighted and relishes takingit out of his mouth
to watch the curl Of smoke in the air set him
down as an easy-going man. Beware Of the
man who never releases his grip on the cigar and
is Indifferent whether it burns not; he is cool,
calculating, and exacting. The man that smokes
a bit, rests bit, and fumbles the cigar more or
less is affected by circumstances If the cigar
goes out frequently the smoker has whole

with With a. lively brain, Glib tongue and generally
fumbles his cigar great deal is sort of popin-
jay among men. Holding the cigar constantly
between his teeth, chewing it occasionally, and
not caring if it be lighted at all are the charac-
