BLUFF A FAILURE.
Henry Labouchere is the author of a
sensational article in Truth, the au-
thority for which is well known

Greece was involved in the war with
Turkey owing to the endeaYor of King
George to bluff the czar into hurrying
the marriage of Princess Marie. The
car declined to interfere and King
George, knowing that Russia was most
DESTROYS that there should be no dis
turbances in the south Of Europe, play
yond his control. The czar then warn
ed King George that the Turks would
occupy Athens and that his dynasty
would cease to reign. King George
finally entered into an arrangement
with Russia, the latter promising the
Turks would not go beyond Thessaly
provided no real stand was made

reception Mr. Scott requested the edi-

sible for a woman to preserve the
simplicity Of manner, which is her
greatest charm" What is infinitely
more to be deplored," he added, lis
that a woman who endeavors to keep
her purity is almost, as necessity,
foredoomed to failure in her career. 1t
is an awful thing to say and still more
terrible, it is true: but no one who
knows the life of the green room dare
deny it,
