he was going to marry her. So Doro-
thea put up her back hair, donned long
dresses and was married. She is now
sixteen years old.
A recent royal bride was the Princess
Maria, who bears a curious relationship
to the British throne. Her mother, the
Austrian Archduchess Maria Theresa,
claims to be the lawful Queen of Eng
land, Scotland, Ireland and France; she
is descended from Henrietta Stuart, sis

years old. Her father, Prince Louis, is
the virtual heir to the Bavarian throne.
The Princess brings rich dover to
her husband. Prince Ferdinand de
Bourbon, Duke of Calabria. He Is the
eldest son Of the titular King of Naples
and has recently been serving with the
Spanish army in Cuba. He stands
about as much chance Of ever sitting on
the throne of Naples as his mother-in-
law does Of being crowned Queen of
England in Westminster Abbey.
A most desirable princess who still re-
mains unmarried is the Princess Vic
toria of Wales. second daughter of the
Prince Of Wales. She is thirty years old

frill at the back Of the neck, which is
now varied by the addition of another
frill that turns down from the lower
edge at the back. The new style gives
better finish and conceals the juno
ton of the stock with the neck of the
dress. 1t also does away with the nee
essity of a bow at the back, which is
really not fashionable any longer,
though I say it with reluctance, for it
was such a convenient finish for the
waist OF amateur manufacture. One
never had to bother about the neck
just tie a ribbon around it and that was
enough.

The problem Of selecting October we'd

gifts. That is merely because there
are fewer Of them to buy. Silver arti-

regarded as belonging to much the same

utensils, and this fact throws the giver
back upon the other stock gifts. such
as lamps, cabinets, etc.
The newest thing in handsome lamps
