Gressoney, where she has been in the habit of spending August and the early part of September for more than ten years past. Her only companions up there were her principal lady, the Mar quise Villamarina, who has been with her ever since her marriage, and who IS well known to all American ladies who have ever been presented to the queen, the duchess of MaSSimO, and a gentleman-in-waiti2g. There have been no police, and no military guards, a lieutenant of carahineers in undress uniform being the only represent atiVe Of public security
 The queen and her ladies always |, wear the peasant costume Of the dis ltrict throughout her stay at Gressoney, not merely because it is very pictur- esque, but likewise to prevent the in- trOductiCn of modern fashions, which by their constant changing excite the peasant women to expenditure beyond their means, and consequently to debt and ruin. The only change made by the queen in her costume, is the sub stituticn On Sunday morning, when she attends mass, of black lace veil for the red and yellow handkerchief which usually serves as coiffure The presence Of the queen at Gres- soney naturally has the effect Of at tracing a large number of visitors, chisfy English and Americans. who are obliged, however. .,o be content with accommodations of the most rude kind. and 10 engage their rooms in the various cottages many months in advance, there being no hotel in the place.
 If, as may be supposed, the tourists visit Gressoney with the object of ae- quiring a personal acquaintance with the queen. which they could not ex- pect to achieve at Rome. Naples, or at Monza, they must leave the place much disappointed. Although the, queen is most affable, unaffected. and friendly in her intercourse with the peasantry, she makes point Of keeping as clear as possible of strangers, especially when they are armed, as they so often are, with kodaks.
 The Prince Philip of Hohenlohe, who has just become Benedictine monk on the completion of his novitiate, is not the son of Germany's chancellor, as has been stated in the newspapers, but nephew of the latter, his father having been that Prince Constantine iHOhenlohe, who was for so many years grand master of the imperial house hold at Vienna, and perhaps the most prominent figure in Austrian society. Unlike his father and uncles, he is quite tall and Of commanding stature. Until three years ago he was one of the most gay and jovial officers of crack dragoon regiment in the Aus trian army. Suddenly and for no ap- parent reason, unless it be some mys- teriCus disappointment in love affair, ne developed a mOroSe disposition, avoided all his former friends and as sociates, resigned his commission ir the army. and entered upon his novi- tiate al the monastery of Seckau He has now definitely taken the cowl. and from henceforth with his shaven pate, his coarse and rope girdled robes, and his sandaled feet will be known as Friar Constantine
 l. is probable that he will eventually be raised to rhe Sacred college, and be created cardinal, thus continuing the conditions of his house. which has fur nished a goodly number of cardinals to tine Roman Catholic church, the last one having been Cardinal Prince Gus tave Hohenlohe, the friend and patron of Abbe List, who died only a few months ago.
 Leo XIII takes a warm interest in Prince Philip Hohenlohe, who is a cousin both of Queen Victoria and the emperor Of Germany. and offered to at tach him to the pontifical household if he wished to enter the ranks Of the ordinary clergy. But the prince pre- ferred to become a monk, selecting the Benedictine order.
