was one OF the most prominent Indian
Princes TO welcome the Prince of Wales on
his arrival at Bombay,
In January, 1877, he made his first public
appearances in prominent capacity at the
Delnl durbar for the proclamation OF the
Queen as Empress of India, and he then re-
eeivrd at the hands of Lord Lytton the title
oil Favored Son of the British Empire"
While the internal affairs of Baroda were
sklilfully attended 10 by the late Sir Madava
Rao and Council of Regency, the young
Indianapolis education was completed by
English and native teachers, and in 1881 he
was formally invested by Sir James Fer
guson, Governor of Bombay, with the per-
sonal government OF his State.
In 1880 he married the niece of the Prince
OF Tap1ore, by whom he had a family of one
son, Fateh Singh, his present heir, and two
daughters. This Princess died in 1885, and
the Gaekwar married a second time, a
woman OF DewaS, the present Maharani, by
whom he also has family.
When Lord Dufferin visited BarOda in
1886, he declares In public speech that few
States had ever made greater progress than
Baroda had done under its present ruler.
The Mahara1ah pays the closest attention to
matters OF finance. public works and educa-
ton, being, in fact model ruler of model
Indian State. he is a jealous advocate of
the improvement of the social status OF H.
dian women, and his letter ON the delicate
question OF child marriages was one Of the
most courageous acts a Hindoo could per-
form, and exercised no inconsiderable effect
on the opinion of his countrymen.

An Institution of London.

The lady milliner" has become an in
stitution Of fashionable London, so much so
that 1t rarely causes comment when some
high-born but impoverished descendant Of
an old aristocratic family writes her ancient
name upon milliner's sign. All the
graces and gifts of the flushed woman
of society are of distinct value in the
rev calling. The woman who is grace
full in her movements aud elegant in per-
sonality shows off the cut and fit of her own
garments as the ordinary woman might fail
to show them. The fashionable miiIher,
too, must be pleasing in manner, aud wise
IN the tact that social culture develops.
She needs to be good linguist, for the
materials of her business are imported from
various countries. and can be bought much
cheaper directly from the manufacturers
than from the middlemen if one is well
enough versed In the languages to drive
shraWd bargains.
