QUEEN vICTORIA's COSTLY HAT.
Made of Tortoise Shell by Natives of
the Navigator Islands.
From an Exchange.

From an Exchange.
Her majesty, Queen Victoria. who is the
dowd.est royal parsonage in Europe, has
in her possession the most expensive bon
net In The world. 1t is not a triumph of
the milliners art, and it is not likely to
be the mode. In fact. the queen has new
er worn it. Ut is not one through which a
hatpin is easily thrust, and-oh, prime
reason that It's case is hopeless pit is I'M
becoming.
The natives of the Navigator ia'ards
were most anxious TO make the queen a
present. There was formed a committee,
which debated long and patiently what
would be most appropriate. Jewels We're
cut of The question 1t would cost a for
tune to give one of the richest sOvereigns
In the world a jewel that she would ap-
preciate. Even The most gorgeous cloths
We're not advisable. India had eXceled
them in weaving
The gift should be suggestive of their
part of the world and made by their peo-
pie But what?-that was the ques ton.
Their women were ski led at plating grass
and making it into everything from furni-
ture, mating and mural decorations TO
gowns and hats, but this would not be
valuable enough. AS de from the thought
fulness of the gift, Ii must have some in
trinsic worth.
The committee disagreed. One gentle
man resigned in despair The new mem
Der injected some ginger into the crowd
and revived their tagging spirits. The
new member said emphatically that even
queen had vanity enough to want TO
possess the most expensive bonnet in the
world One of their own tortoise shells
should be made into a bonnet. 1t should
be carved by their own people and while
1t would not cost them very dearly, Vic
tOria would find it quite expensive if she
went shopping for it in Bond street. The
tired members of the committee voted the
new member a knowing one, and if they
did not promise him a monument it is be-
cause that form of greatness is unknown
in Samoa.
An elaborate bonnet was made of a
whole shell. The workmanship was ex-
quisite. Never was tortoise shell more ar
tistically carved The shape is like that
of the Salvation Army lassies. In due
time the queen received the gift and wrote
the committee a note of thanks. The queen
found the material, as well as the shape
a little impractical as far as everyday
wear goes so she sent it to the British
museum. But the committee, which feels
that load is off It's mind, draws mental
pictures of Queen Victoria driving down
THE Lady's Mile and nodding 70 her
faithful subjects and wearing the gift
that caused so many wrinkles in the gray
matter of its brain.
