The Ven Has Gone-The Queen Is ont
of Mourning and the King II In
Purple-Reform In Woman's Dress
Facts About Old Lace.
PASSING OF THE VEIL

King Edward and Queen Alexandra
have had their last mourning photos
taken. The official term of grief has
expired, and their royal highnesses will
hereafter be taken in the ermine and
the purple. but not in black.
The Queen has laid aside her veil of
Grape, upon which the crown posed so
Jauntily in the spring and summer, and
now she wears the most beautiful cos
tunes In vari-colors, though for the
most part in gray, as her majesty is
very partial to that shade. The King
will hereafter don his army uniform
or wear citizens clothes, as may please
him. but the heavy deal black of
mourning will not be noIiced, says the
Philadelphia Press.
The last mourning photo of their
majesties shows them in full regalia,
but with the weeds upon them. The
King, ever gallant, holds the Queens
fingers in his own, and the Queen
stands just a little in the background
as BELTS consort. Her majesty is
sweet-faced as ever, but trif1e thin.
Though a woman past middle life, she
still holds her own and is now, as she
has been for the past generation, the
prettiest royal lady in Europe. Their
mourning picture is to be perpetuated
in a beautiful painting to be immedi-
ately executed by the court painter.

Mr.. Billy started and looked up, to
find himself confronted by an atom. 1t
was feminine atom dressed in torn
pink frock, with a shock of mud-col-
ored hair and the bluest eyes that ever
looked out of a dirty face. The atom
dragged after it a wagon made of
pasteboard, mounted on empty spools,
in which reclined with what grace it
might a doll formed from stick of
kindling wood wrapped in bit of cal
leo.
"Hulloa, you little wretch-where'd
you spring from?'' asked Mr.. Billy.
Over there responded the atom;
nodding vaguely in the direction of a
line of novels, half a mile away. Il
