HE HAILED PRINCE GEORGE.
An American in . Prcdioament In Greek
Waters Got Royal Help.

When Prince George of Greece was
in the United States to attend the
Worlds Fair his presence was hardly
noticed, and he was not compelled to
run the gauntlet OF Chicago interview
ers. SO 1t came that perhaps the
Princes first experience with the Am
erican method of acquiring knowledge
for dissemination was afforded by an
American artist who attended the
Olympic games to illustrate an article
for New York magazine.
On the day Of the swimming con-
tests the artist was unable to find the
boat which he, together with party
of friends had chartered for the oc-
casion The races took place on the
harbor. about three miles from the
city, and the artist, armed with camera
and sketching tools, wandered about
| on the crowded shores until he bar
| gained successfully with two men for
IA boat. After padding about for
| time without seeing much chance of
| viewing the races, he made up his
mind to board one Of the larger yes
| sells with which the water was
crowded. He chose for his piratica'
designs one of the largest and best mp
pearng of all the gnyly decked craft
and made his wishes known to the
boatmen Although he did not under
stand one word of Greek, there was
no misunderstanding the fact that they
forclbly demonstrated, and the more he
commanded the more emphatic be
came their expostulations. He hnally
overruled their objections and induced
them to row within calling distance
. of the big vessel. The artist hailed a
man on deck in French, telling him
who he was and what he wanted. The
stranger answered in very good Eng
lish, and after inviting the artist
aboard, he brought n chair and ar
2 ranged a place from which goot
view of the start and finish could b'
| had. Then he excused himself.
S The American was very busy for ;
c while, but it gradually occurred t
, | him that the boat 'he was on was re
. ceiving a great deal of attention. AT
J, ter it began to move every other vesse
saluted. When the races were fin
ished and his host returned to tn
deck the artist learned that he hat

e Greece. He suffered a little constei

coLoRS AND COMPLEXION.
WSnAen Should Know Whist They MAJ
Wear and What Not.

Women Should Know What They May
Wear and What Not
1t is surprising how few women con-
slider whether the colors they wear are
suited to their own particular com
plexion or not. Not long since the styl-
ish color was that rich purple hue
known as petunia, and petunia was
forthwith massed on the hats and bon
nets of blonde and brunette alike. To
some women it was absolutely fatal to
any good looks they may have pos
Sessed. Yet it is possible to be dressed
well and becomingly at the same time
by little study Of color in conjunction
with ones personal appearance. Any
woman who studies effect will soon see
that the color which intensifies the
color Of her eyes Is the one which Il the
most becoming every time.
Pale blue and pink should be care
fully avoided by women with red hair,
as they exaggerate rather than soften
the natural coloring; but they will
never make any mistake with the dark
shades Of brown, especially the red
brown Brown is also the color of a
brown-eyed woman, as it will bring
out the beauty of her eyes as no other
color can, If she but chooses the right
shade. Gray Is becoming to women
with gray hair, and to young women
who have gray eyes and lovely COM
plexions, old or young, provided she Sc
lects the right tint.
The blonde can wear pure white, with
out a tinge of yellow or pink in it, but
the brunette must be careful to wear
the soft cream shades, and IL She wears
black at all itmust be very glossy, while
pronounced blonde can safely deck
herself in the dull black which Is used
for mourning. Green is pretty sure to
be suitable to every complexion, pro-
viding one is fortunate enough to dis
cover the particular shade which har-
monies best with the coloring; a"j Il.

color this season, especially the sue.
