After the Wedding.

How soon should calls upon bride
be NADER" is question that has been
frequently asked. Calls upon bride
should be made very soon after her re-
turn from her wedding trip, if no day
for such has been designated, and as
immediate a visit must be paid to her
mother or person at whose house the re-
ception was held. The bride returns
her calls soon and so far as possible in
the order in which they are made. Her
neglect to acquit herself of these debts
would be inexcusable, and person so
rareless would deserve to be socially
forgotten. Detroit Free Press.

PRINCESS ELIzABETH's LOVE.
She Preferred the Man of Her Choice to a
Crown and Throne

She Preferred the Man of Her Choice to "A
Crown and Throne.
Some time ago it was believed that
the heir presumptive to the Austrian
throne, Archduke Francis Ferdinand,
would marry his Bavarian cousin 5
daughter, Princess Elizabeth. | now
hear that the idea existed and was
much favored by the emperor. but the
young princess frustrated these plans.
More than IA year ago she began to
look approyingly upon a handsome
young lieutenant Baron S. The officer
be gan by riding past her windows a
couple of times day, then he obtained
a room with windows facing Prince
Leopold's palace. In the winter, at
court balls, the lieutenant danced oftener
than any other with the princess, and
in the spring lawn tennis brought them
more together still.
All Mt once the young officer was
transferred to a regiment stationed III
Alsace and this seemed the tame end
of romantic story. But IN the sum
mer, when Princess Elizabeth staid
with hen emperor grandpapa at lschl,
she is supposed to have used her time
so well that the emperor promised to
make the baron prince, 20 give HIM
some landed property and to allow the
happy couple to marry if their love
was proof against time.
The princess is 10, pretty, perfectly
natural and very sweet tempered.

ENGLAND'S UNEMPLOYED.
Labor Leaders Say That Not Enough Is Be-

Labor Leaders Say That Not Enough Is Be-
ing Done and Make Large Proposal.
Labor leaders are complaining that
the government authorization to the To-
cal authorities to spend money upon re-
lief works fer the benefit of the unem-
ployed is not taken advantage of in a
half dozen districts. The result is that
distress is rapidly becoming acute III
most of the large towns, to the great
benefit of the socialist and anarchist
agitators. 1t il difficult to see what
more the govern mcnt can do, unless 1t
go in for state socialism ON IA gigantic
scale. for which public opinion is not
ripe
The latest proposal is that the gov
eminent should guarantee loans for, say,
$3.50. Oo0. 0G0 to enable the carrying out
of a national system of toreshore recla-
nation all around the coasts. Such
work, whei ever undertaken by private
enterprise, has certainly proved profit
able, and it is urged that Holland has
demonstrated its practical and remu.
nerative character as Il government en-
terprise.
There IS no reason to doubt that in
the London district alone the reclaina-
ton of the foreshores of the Thames,
from the metropolis to the sea. is per
fectly feasible, and would provide work
for thousands for many years. be of i'm
mense public benefit, and yield good
return on the outlay, but the govern
ment naturally hesitates to take the first
step in such vast undertaking
