Her influence Over the King md Her

In letter on affairs in Abyssinfa the
Rome correspondent Of the Paris Figaro
gives this description of King Menelek's
helpmate:
queen Taitou was spoken of recently as
wanting to lead her troops to the assault
OF Makaiie. "Taitou' means light, or sun
ileht. She Ia descended from an ancient
ana nopie family, originally from Samien
She Is Well formed, with regular features
except for little defect Of the mouth
which sne endeavors to conceal when she
speaks. Her skin is a clear brown. Her
eyes are black, large and expressive. Her
. ass. are small ana her hands are aristo-
cratlc' just as are her manners in general
She dresses In the Ethiopian fashion. with
great deal of taste and elegance She
wears on her neck. her wrists and around
her ankles ornaments Of gold artjsticaily
worked. According to circumstances the
expression of her eye Is benevolent or
scornIul or fiendish. She belongs to that
Grass OF women with whom it is we'll to be
her enemy. or doesn't know how to appre
clate her protection. Even the king him
SER would not risk the defense of a friend
against the resentment or vengeance Of
tnis proud and stubborn woman Wearing
all the outside appearance OF a weak and
submissive creature she knows how to i'm
pose her will; and when she wishes to Oh
tam anything. she works for 1t with pas
sion. She would spend days, months and
even years In the pursuit OF her object,
ana she always gains her point. She is
thoroughly acquainted with all the state
secrets and insists upon knowing every
thlng That the king does and everything
mat ne writes. She gives counsel and die
tates important letters
The queens pride and her mania for
meddl'ng with everything have made nu-
merous enemies for her; and she might be
an object of pity If the king should die be-
lore her; because In that event she would
be In danger OF being stoned to death She
Knows this very well nnd as precaution-
airy measure. she has accumulated i'm
mense riches in the country of C;odtan
where she intends to take refuge In case
she becomes widow She likes most
european liquors, especially French cham
payne. but doesn't care for the sweet wines
OF Italy, which were brought to her bv
Makonnen Oh his return from Rome. some
times she takes too much, and Ia such
cases she might. perhaps, be more charm
ing 70 ner husband than to her outside ad-
