B.rnh.rd.. wealth of Hair.

Bernhard, VINO has really the most
remarkable personality of any living
woman, will not exercise, and hates
fruit unless she happens to feel in a
mood for eating it, and still she has
handsome head of hair, and this, the
health doctors say, is quite remarkable,
in view of the fact that fruit and ex-
ercise make beautiful hair. She makes
her hair grow winter and summer by
exposing it. For several hours day
that hair hangs down her back with the
air blowing through it and the sun
touching 1t. Her theory is that wher-
ever the hairpins touch her hair 1t will
be dull and glossless. In the morning
Nine. Bernhardt's locks are scattered
over her breakfast robe, and caught on

hair done up" and this is for getting
in and out of her carriage in street
dress. In most of Bernhardt's playe
the heroine wears unconfined locks, and
here again madam has chance to car

of it in the magnificent gloss Of her

Queen victorIa's ResRn.

Victoria Of England began to reign
June 20. 1887. She has therefore COM
.pleted her fifty-nlnth year on the
throne. Should she live three months
more, as there Is every prospect she
will, she will have reigned longer than
any other British sovereign, longer even
than poor old Geoge Ill, who was in
sane for ten years before his death in
1920. George III. reigned, counting In
also the years when his mind was
clouded, fifty-nine years, three months
and four days. But Victoria's intellect
Is as clear and strong as 1t ever wac
and gives good promise OF remaining so.
Her reign will be as memorable as that
of any in English history, memorable
for the victories Of peace and the appli-
cation of science to the industries. There
is every reason to hope and believe that
the royal lady will live, in full possess
sion of her health and all her faculties
10 celebrate the sixtieth year Of her
prosperous reign. That this will be the
case all Americans hope.

struck down. / seemed to enter into
her thoughts. to feel that 1t was impos-
sible she could meet me again. couid
hear her agonized entreaties to Grant
to bear her away and hide her from
me. I could understand now why sne
took NO steps to clear her name In my
eyes. How she even wished me to
think her perjured and faithless, so
long as the secret could be kept from
me-so long as did not suffer as she
suffered. Yes! could understand
what. rightly or wrongly. she and
Grant had striven to do for my sake!
On what a chance life turns! Why
had / never told Viola the story OF my
birth and strange adoption? Why had
never told Grant? 1t would have
cleared matters in a second.
Strange to say. 1t had never occurred
to me to mention It to either Of them.
After had succeeded to my reputed
fathers wealth my position was 80 as
sured-it seemed to me SO natural to
be thought and called the dead mans

had all but faded from my mind. For
years had scarcely given 1t thought.
But I ground my teeth now. as l re-
flected how simple chance might
have made me speak, and 80 saved my
wife and myself from more than two
years Of misery!
Then the idea came to me that every
moment which elapsed before Viola
learned the news was one Of sorrow to
her. I sprang to my feet and went in
search of Grant.
Good fellow! found he had already
packed his portmanteau and was busily
engaged on mine.

Shall I ever forget that crossing! The
night was fair. No thought Of sleep

happiness I was alone with my

like wise man, had gone below to court
sleep. Perhaps. in spite of the joy he
felt In the approaching happiness Of
his friends, my ceaseless and oft-re-
peated questions became trifle mo-
notonous. He had to assure me a
thousand times that one at least of his
messages would reach Viola in time to
stay her departure. He had tele-
graphed to the steamer, as well as to
the Hotel de rEurope, at which he
knew she was staying. He had simply
said. "On no account go Tomorrow

But I could not contemplate with
equanimity the thought of viola's

the truth. So Grant had again and
again to assure me that we should GER

who accompanied her thither and had
promised to see her safely on board
