How Henry, VIII, Made Love.

A love letter of King Henry VIII. to
Anne Boleyn has been discovered in the
vatican.
1t is written in French. a language
with which Anne was almost more IA
miliar than with English, as she had
been educated in France. Here is the
translation of it:
The approach of the time which I
have SO long expected rejoices me so
much that 1t seems almost ready come.
However, the entire accomplishment
cannot be till the two persons meet.
which meeting is more desired by me
than anything in the world; for what
JOY can be greater upon earth than to
have the company of her who is my
dearest friend? knowing likewise that
she does the same on her part: the
thinking on which gives great pleas
ure. You may judge what an effort the
presence of that person must have on
me whose absence has made a greater
wound in my heart than either words
or writing can express and which moth
ing can cure but her return. l beg you,

dear mistress to tell your father for
me that I desire him to hasten the APP
pointment by two days. that he may
be in court before the old term, or at
furthest on the day prefiXed; for other
wise | shall think he will not do the
lovers turn (as he said he would) nor
answer my expectation. No more at
present, for want of time; hoping
shortly that by word of mouth I shall
tell you the rest of my sufterings from
your absence. Written by the hand of
the secretary, who wishes himself at
present privately with you; and who is,
and always will be, your loyal and most
assured servant.
III. NO OTHER SEEKS REX"
The signature consists of a drawing
of a heart, in which the letters "a.
B." appear and around which is in
scribed H. no other seeks Rex The
Letter is, of course, in the kings own
handwriting.
1t is curious to reflect that the great
reformation in England was precipi-
tated directly by the personal attrac-
lions of Anne Boleyn. King Henry fell
madly in love with her and determined
to divorce his wife Katharine of Ara
gon. The pope refused the divorce.
Henry gave it himself and cut the En-
glish church loose from Rome. Later
he tired of Anne and had her arrested
on the ground of high treason and in
fidelity She was beheaded.
This letter of Henry VIII. is one of
number of documents which have been
discovered in the vatican library by
Sir Benjamin Stone and photographed:
Some of them deal with ecclesiastical
events of the reign of Henry VIII, the
most important of which is treatise
signed by his majesty in reply to the
teachings of Martin Luther and in vim
dication of the seven Sacraments. This
treatise was sent by special ambassa-
doris for presentation to Pope Leo *,
the author having appended in his own
handwriting a famous greeting that
Henry, king of the English. sends this
work and witness of faith and friend
ship to Leo X" and on receipt of 1t
| the pope conferred upon Henry VIII.
| the complimentary title of defender of
| the faith" a dignity confirmed in 1924
| by a further bull issued by Clement
| VII. and used ever since by the sover-
eigns of England. The document last
mentioned is one of the "Gouiden
Leagues" formerly preserved in the
| Pyx chapel, Westminster.
Other documents Of which Sir Benja-
min Stone has secured excellent mega
| tives are petition from Edward III
| to Clement VI. asking for confirmation
of the statutes of st. Georges chapel
Windsor; an order from Urban V. to
the archbishop Of Bordeaux to see
whether Alexander Daily, whom the
| black prince has petitioned to be made
| bishop of Bangor, speaks Welsh well
enough to preach, and petition from
| Edward III to Innocent vi. that the
| dean, canons and Wears of the royal
chapel which he has founded in the
! palace of Westminster may freely
| have continually in the said chapel a
baptismal font for the baptism of the
| children of the kings of England and

Finely pleated deep founces are in
evidence on all kinds OF summer
gowns, Veilings, bergeres, muslin, fou-
lards, anything and everything soft
enough to take the ACCORDION pleat and
retain it, is submitted to the process
and the effect is certainly very pretty.
To many of these fiounces an accord
con pleated ruff1e about two inches
wide is added, thus softening the edge
and tightening the effect of the entire
gown. Besides flounces thus treated
there are narrower ones, two or three
of which foot the skirt; over these falls
the tunic or polonaise, generally quite
narrow. In this way the flare at the
lower part is accentuated.
Summer Stationery.
There Is always a great demand for
novelties in stationery. many pur-
chasers requiring something new every
time they buy. Among the latest in
this line is high-class paper decorated
with the popular bow knots, feur de lis,
or four-leaf clover; then there are the

senting the colors of the different arms
of the service, and also the navy. The

A CREOLE GIRLS WEDDING.
The Picturesque Old Beadle Heads the
Bridal Procession to the Altar.

For three consecutive Sundays before
the wedding the banns are read in the
parish church." writes NJ. e. M Davis
OF THE Creole Girl of New Orleans" in
the June Ladies' Home Journal. 1.-The in
vtations sent out are sometimes engraved
upon large folded sheet of paper. On
one page the father and mother of the
groom invite their friends to assist at
the nuptial mass on their son; on the op-
posite page the parents of the bride ex-
extend the same courtesy to their friends
on behalf of their daughter. Ordinarily,
however, the cards are in the conventional
form.
The hour usually chosen in 5 o'clock in
the afternoon. A musical chime rings
the hour as the bride reaches the cathe-
dral. The organ within breaks suddenly
into wedding march. The old beadle,

Entire skirts of lace, made with lace
braid and stitches of the kind known as
Luxeuil, are made up over light peach

Most fashionable colors are pinky

Sleeves of evening gowns are iufin-

happily, by the cut beneath, which,
though shallow, forms scallop hiding

The groomsmen follow, and then the
bridesmaids, the maid of honor and the
tiny flower girl; finally the bride, pale and
lovely, on her fathers arm.
The great altar glows with candles.
The priest, in gorgeous vestments, at
tended by acolytes and choir boys, steps
forward with the bridegroom-the self
same priest who Amounted the brides
forehead with baptismal oil and has
blessed each onward step of her life. He
addresses the youthful pair in homely,
paternal fashion, in a voice full Of tender
emotion, recalling their religious VOWS,
enjoining upon them faithful perfor-
nance of their home duties. Then in
sonorous tones he recites the stately rit-
ua, of the church and gives the nuptial
benediction. The voice of some singer
thrills the air. while chosen friends pass
up the chancel to sign the parish register.

A Distinct Novelty.
Some of the newest gowns are built
up dn an entirely novel manner, that is.
of silk muslin as follows: The silk skirt
has two or three rather narrow accord
con plated fiounceS at the foot. Over
this falls a princess tunic which rises in
a point not quite to the bust in front
and the same height at the back also in
a point. The remainder of the waist is
then built up of tuckered or puffed
mousseline de sole, or even fine lace in
serted and tucked muslin. The sleeves
are the same. This style is in reality
the exaggeration of the guimpe effect.
This last will be extremely popular dur
Ing the entire summer. Wool materials
