graceful young Princess Marie In her
girlish gown of rose pink crepe de chine
was the center Of interest, for, said the
guests to themselves, who knows but
here Is the future queen of France.
The Due D'Orleans, who is the Bour-
bon Orleans claimant to the throne Of
France, being son of the Comte de
Paris and descendant Of King Louis
Philippe, after a career Of unexampled
dissipation> and roguery finally IN 1896
married the Archduchess Marie Doro-
thea, eldest daughter Of the Archduke
Joseph of Austria. The match was
made by the willy old Princess Clemen-
tine of Saxe-Coburg, a daughter Of Louis
Philippe, who married when she was 20
Prince August OF Coburg- Kohary, one
OF the richest princes in Europe. She
Is the only surviving child of Louis
Philippe and one OF her lifelong ambi-
tons has been to again see Bourbon
ruling France. The archduchess Is
rich and clever. and Henri D'Orleans
is neither, SO the old lady decided that
her granddaughter was just the per-
son for him.
The Duchess D'Orleans was born In
1857 and is, therefore, two years older
than her husband. She is highly edu-
Gated and talented in art and music.
Her mother was princess Of Sake
Coburg- Gotha, so that she is related to
Queen Victoria's family and the royal
families of Russia and Germany. Be-
fore her marriage she was anxious to
enter convent, as she has strongly
religious nature. but her grandmother
evidently persuaded her that 1t was
her duty to reform her scapegrace rela-
tive, the Duo D'Orleans. She is a beau
tiful and accomplished woman ana Is
but little seen in public.
The Spanish pretender, Don Carlos,
claims to be heir to the French throne
through a remote ancestor, but the
chance of his beautiful wife, Maria Pia,
ever being queen of france is remote.

MARRIAGE IN BURMA.

Marriage has no religious element In
Burma. There is no marriage cere-
mony. Just as two men go into part
nership in business so man ana wo-
man may enter into the marriage state
without undergoing any form. Coupled
with this very secular, nonchalant view
Of marriage is the fact that facilities
for divorce are very great. AS mar
riage is merely a partnership, so d.
vorce is a dissolution of that partners
ship, and may be obtained on demand
by either Of the parties from the elders
Of the village.
In Burma, however, as elsewhere,
we find that a priori dangers are large
ly neutralized by practical good sense.
The fear Of outraging public opinion
furnishes powerful motive in pro-
priety Of life. The salvation of the
Burmese woman lies in the fact that her
home life is always the center of her
existence. She recognizes that there are
certain restrictions on a woman's ac-
lions which must be observed as long
as men are men and women are women,

leans, and many other royal houses are
indirectly connected with the interests
OF the Orleans Bourbon family by
means OF alliances.
The outlook for the Bonapartists,
however. does look more promising. The
present Bonaparte princes are Victor
and Louis, grandsons of the first Ma
poleon's brother Jerome, the one who
married Betsey Patterson of Baltimore.
Then there is Prince Roland Bonaparte,
grandson of Napoleon's brother Lucien.
Joseph and Lucien were older brothers
than Jerome, but Napoleon never liked
them and cut them off from all possi-
BILE share in the imperial honors. Luz
Glen and his son. Prince Pierre, both
suited themselves in choosing a wife,
bestowing their hearts and hands on
women of humble parentage, for which
they were Sighted by the imperial reia-
tives whenever possible. They were,
however the most decent members of a
family never remarkable for its re-
spectability. Napoleon cut off the in
come of Lucien, and Napoleon III cut
off that of his son. Prince Pierre, so
that his grandson, Prince Roland, until
he married the daughter of M. Blanc,
the Monte Carlo millionaire experience
ed the very depths of poverty. Prince
Roland is student and a scientist and
has little ambition to occupy throne.
He has a daughter, however, his sole
child and heiress of the Blanc millions.

BEAUTY OF FIGURE.

\ BEAUTIFUL figure Is often
~ more admired than beautiful
- face. 1t is not always easy to
decide on just the, exact proportions
for a perfectly formed body, but
think for woman about the follow-
ing is correct: Height, not over
feet inches, with bust measure 80
inches and waist measure %. Those
who are in that proportion are, ac-
'cording to accepted standards, of ar
tistic grace Also, twice the measure
ment around the thumb should equal
once the measurement around the
wrist; twice the measurement around
the wrist should equal once the
measurement around the neck; twice
around the neck should equal once
the measurement around the waist;
I twice the measurement around the
waist should equal once the measures
ment around the bust. This is another
way of ascertaining the ideal meas
urement.
The most graceful figures will be
found to be those that have never
Worn corsets, for i'll made corsets and
tight lacing take from the suppleness
and fiexibility of the body. The pres-
ent style of dress, however, demands
a corset, and the only remedy is to
select stays judiciously and wear
them sensibly. During the period
represented by the Venus de Milo the
costume was such that there were
grace and beauty of dress without the
use of a corset, but modern fashions
are very different from the graceful,
loose. flowing draperies of the Greeks.
The best corset for the figure is made
of the finest cortille and the lightest,
most flexible whalebone. The bust
should be cut low and the hips short.
Tight shoes disfigure the feet quite
as much as tight lacing does the body.
A good deal Of the deformity OF the
modern woman's foot is due to mar
row, pointed shoes. Not only are
such shoes bad for the feet, but they
indirectly do a good deal of harm
to the nervous system, because the
scanty roor. which pointed shoes at
ford to the toes cause the shoe to
press on some Of the most delicate
nerves of the feet and disastrously i'm
pede the circulation. Many trou-
blesome nervous headache may be
traced to this cause.

B HATS WHICH WILL BE FASHIONABLE THIS FALL

towerlile crowns meet the plain, broad

ions velvet toaue, reversing the gem
eral order Of things. Here a broad.
full crown is effectively crushed into
Tbecomingness over a narrow, indented,
shirred brim. This is to be worn quite
far forward over the eyes and tilted to
one side. Variegated feathers turn off
the face at the left and slightly roll
under band of velvet ribbon stretched
from under brim to crown.
The shepherdess of velvet Is admirably
designed. 1t Is sufficiently simple for
ordinary day wear with tailor gown, or

gance walks in the wake of velvet, yet

is fast becoming the most democratic
member of the dress household.
AT the moment have in my minds
eye a negligee of soft cotton batiste

eclipses any previous effort of the pro-
fessional needlewoman to wed two ex-

AS to shape. there are four leading

but for the early fall they will cling to
the one color principle. AS yet the lin

Imprisonment from the man milltner's

precious burdens are released from

In order to keep tho teeth in good
condition absolute cleanliness is noe
cssary, and they should be brushed
night and morning with some good
powder. Here is an excellent one: Take
half an ounce each of powdered orris
root and prepared chalk, and add to
them one teaspoonful of bicarbonate OF
soda. Mix thoroughly. The soda acts
as an antacid and neutralIzes the acids
of the mouth, while the chalk and orris
are gritty enough to remove any pnr-
