told that the steamer was waiting for
the special train bringing the sons,
nephews and brother of the king of
Siam, and also the arrival of the royal
yacht having the king and his favorite
wife on board.
Finally the train steamed into the
station and the royal party disem-
barked 1t consisted of several mem
bers of the royal family, notablv- the
young princes Chal1rabOngse, -~Ovan-
arth and Ben Badhanabongse, the
kings sons who were in charge of their
uncle, who had with him his own son
and two of the kings nephews.
The princes were accompanied by two
aides-de-camP, a secretary and two
English professors. Their suite was
composed besides of five young Siam
csc nobIemen, and who, like the young
princes, were going to be educated.
These mobiles and princes were bound
for England, where they were to pass
five years in order to complete their ed
ucatiOn. The whole party spoke very
fluent English, which they had been
taught from their earliest infancy.
The party had hardly settled on board
before the royal yacht was seen steam
ing down the river. ChulaIong KEN had
made the trip especially to inspect the
steamer, which was a new one on the
line, and, as the queen was sending her
only son to England, had consented To
the unprecedented proceeding of allow
ing her to accompany him and bid her
son farewell.
The scene on the quay was a curious
one. In the presence Of the agent des
messageries, acting as French consul
and the commandant of the royal yacht,

very light spring suit, carefully exam

and unloading the vessel. Standing be-

doned herself to a very natural Outbursr
of mOtherly sorrow at parting from her
son, and it was at this very moment
that the snap shot was taken.
Though the spectators were undOubt

still the feeling uppermost in all their
minds must have been that caused by
the strangeness and oddly of her at
tire. Thanks to the kodak, we can
form a very fair idea of this old-fash
toned style of boomers. These classical
trousers called ''Sampat" are made of a
very large piece of silken stuff most in
geniously draped to form q perfect sem
blance in front of the up to date bicycle
costume favored by the new woman.
Over these is worn white camisOle or
species of chemise, which was crossed
by the cord Of some royal order, outlin-
ing, but not beautifying, the oriental
form of the Siamese queen I really do
not think the photographed resem-
blance of her majesty VIII be apt to
awaken many envious feelings in the
breasts Of her western sisters or dc

representative financiers had been in

practically worn off by election time

appeared. The amount secured was
