DEFINITIONS OF TITLES.

THE praetor was a magistrate elect
ed for the purpose Of administering
Justice when the consuls were absent
from Rome. There were two praetors,
one for the city and one for places At
q distance.
IMPEaAroR was originally title OF
honor bestowed on a victorious gen.
eral. After the downfall of the repub-
lie it became the title of the supreme
ruler, and had the sense of our word
emperor.
THE only genuine sheikh is the gov
ernor OF Medina. His office is said to
date from the time of the Prophet. II
is now generally applied as an hon
orary title to the head man of an Arab
village.
TIE title grand duke was OF medi
eval origin. being first found in Mos
cow In the eleventh century. 1t trav
eled to southern Europe in 1869, when
Plus v. bestowed it on Cosme d.
Medici.
LANDoRAvE is the only one OF the
old Teutonic titles that survives. II
was invented in 11So by Louis Of Thur
ingia, to distinguish himself from the
crowd of Grafs who filed the GermaE
courts.
AMONG ancient and medieval SOY
ereigns the universal custom was Il

over which the monarch ruled, or wa
supposed to rule, and tho relation h
boro to each.

matter what. if it lend its color to
some consistent scheme. The contrast
of dark rich fur with cloaks OF much
lighter color is but another instance OF
the seasons love OF strong contrast
shown in the favorite combination OF
black and white. A beautiful long
cloak, reaching to the ground, and
decked with dark fur only at collar and
wrists, illustrates this popularity.
The. cloth was pale tan, lightly
marked with q pattern In criss-cross
bars. How much better and more sem
sible are these moderately trimmed
garments than tho hideous capes OF .
season or so ago!
OF course the full fur garments will
be worn by those who prefer. Their
rich effect will always carry them
through. But they are not necessary.
The ianntier fur trimmed things are
more ia accord with existing ideas. A
compromise much favored in England
is wide collarette of fur falling in q
long point in front to the knee exactly
like grandmamma's. or with straight,
narrow sash-like ends depending even
to the ground.

happy use made of red autumn leaves

new fashioned again in the whirliglg

time and place was it, the leaf-blown
lawn sloping away toward lovely

low afternoon sun beyond the CLEAN

with bands Of black over pale mauve,
on the skirt, on the epaulets and across
the bosom. There was hint Of black
putting at waist and elbow. and the
tinv overskirt followed SO closely the
cut of the gown beneath that one
might be excused for falling to notice
that there was any overskirt at all.
In the wardrobe of the pretty bride
was a house dress, tea gown, you
might call it. though 1t would do
equally well for less formal evening
uses, that was distinctly English IL its
tone. The skirt was straight and
seant. decked by bit OF embroidery
about the bottom Of its delicate yellow
skirt. The belt was wide, wrinkIed,
embroidered at the edges The sleeves,
wide and flowing, were open on the
outside to the shoulder that they might

Matted front of creamy silk was shirred
