There must be. after NIL. something

The late Duke OF Wellington. another
member OF the house OF Wellesley. was
the hero OF q very sensational egclpade
at Constantlnople. where, with n oOuple
OF other Eugllshmcn Zone OF them n

The first and great Duke OF Yelling

Intimacy with d lady OF the name OF
Mrs. Arbuthnot. while the mother OF

| OF the numerous contributions OF the
house OF Wellesley to the chronique

a
| ~ married II may be mentioned that the
courtship was by no means smooth
| sailing and that at one moment the
match was on the point OF being broken
| of in consequence OF sQuabble about
money matters. King Humbcrt and
| the so-caled family council which he
consultS on all matters relating 10 the
| reign!ng house, insisted upon q dowry
OF a couple OF million francs. and. in
| fact. made 1t one OF the conditions 10
| according consent TO the marriage. The
| Prince Of Montenegro. who Is n penRilcSs
penSloner dependent upon the bounty OF
| the Emperors OF Russia and Austria AZ
| once declared that such dowry was out
| OF ths question, In fact, that he could
not Give his daughter 4 dowry Of all.
| and that he would not even have money
enough to give his daughter u trous-
| Seau.
On hearing OF this the young Czar
| stepped in and declared that .nasmuch
| as his father had given n dowry OF q
| million roubles to each Of Princess Hell
ems elder sisters on their marriage. he
himself would do the same for her. This
| was 4 peculiarly graceful and appro-
| PIRATE thing In view OF the fact TINT
| Princess Helen had been brought up by
the late Gear and by his consort TO be-
lIevc TINT they intended her 20 marry

however, defeated by the young Emper-

learn that four dressers have been en-
gagged for the service OF the Princess,

mcnials. Dresser is the title given at

be by no means an easy one. For. al

now the warm appreciation of the king,
