Very nearly simultaneous with the
Juliet was the advent of the eccentric
striped veil, to which women are,
strangely enough, taking very kindly.
AT first glance these Mosques of white
and black, with their fine satin or
thread lines crossing the thin fabric at
intervals of an inch, would seem more
deadly in their influence on eyes than
the Objectionable dot; in reality, the
line is no more destructive than the
close-set velvet periods, and yet, more
curiously still, quite as becoming to
most faces.

be 200 yards in length. The Emperor re-
quires. among other things, two riding

carriages and stalls for go horses. Several
workyards and. farmyards are also needed,
as well as dwellings for fifty families and
eighty unmarried servants and coachmen.
The chief facade opposite the schloSs. re-
quired reconstruction on a large ca'e. and
this was rendered very difficult by the diff
ferent character of the rooms looking into
the Schlossplatz, some of which are quite
insignificant The architect has. however,
been fortunate in his design, having ar

appearance from the outside Of g museum.
Passing under the lofty doorway, one en-

a glass roof which in summer is removed
to prevent excessive heat Southwark ex-
tends a broad wing with coachhouses and
dwellings in the upper portion. Eastward
one sees the stables, built in two stories.

an idea of the extent of the grounds.
On the Spree about half of the facade

that they will eventually pass far beyond
