Women Should Learn to Laugh.

Laughter is good, healthy, muscle
making, lung-developing exercise, and
it is as good for girls as boys. And
humor can be cultivated in girls
mind without any abatement of the
dignity and modesty and charm Of her
womanhood Not the unpleasant and
constant frivolity evidenced in smart
speech or quickness Of repartee, but
the humor that looks at the world with
twinkle in the eye and sees its ab-
surdities, it's smallnesses and its fun.
1t should be part OF every woman's
mental equipment, for women are
called upon to bear 80 many of life's
small worries as we'll as it's greater
cnes. The bringing up of children, the
care of servants and the many social
duties that become burden-all are
1nade easy and possible to put up with
by the woman with an unfailing sense
Of the bright side Of life. 1t is a sense
that lasts through life, through its
many ills, it's disillusions, it's tribula-
tions, even it's tragedies.-Woman's
Home Companion.

THE MOUNTAlN-LlOM,

From story in st. Nicholas we
Clip this description of the old-time
mountain lion:
There was time when the American
mountain lion was one Of the most for
midable animals in the world. The cat
is. the masterpiece of nature; and the
nountain lion was one Of the most ter
ribly armed and powerful Of the cat
family. 1t was a compact mass Of
hard and tough muscle and gristle,
with bones Of iron, strong jaws, sharp
teeth, and claws like steel psnknife
blades. 1t was prodigiously strong,
1.-THE, ard quick, covered with a mail
coat of loose skin that was as tough
as leather. 1t had the temper Of a
demon, and was insatiably bloodthirs-
ty. Withal, it had the proverbial nine
lives of the cat tribe.
Against such an animal it was hope
less to ma tch dogs. 1t was said, in
the school books of 40 years ago, that
three British mastiffs can pull down

they could; but they would have been

spring models show hardly a single
skirt that is not tucked or pleated. In
two dresses made recently in one the
kilt was tucked thrice near the edge Of
the skirt; and in the other the pleats
were left to flow loose several inches
above the edge: Though severity was
thus meted out to the skirts, the bod
ices we're most elaborate, with bold
braided effects done on cloth to con-
trast with the serge-nlandarin yellow
for blue dress and emerald green for
a black one. Sprigged taffeta shirts,
pleated dcwn the fronts, were given to
the frocks, and big tassels connected
the sailor collars in front. The rage
for tassals in the best dressmaking es-
tablishments is pronounced:
Three novel dresses were shown the
other day in department store whose
dressmaking department is deservedly
famous. Two have skirts made the
same length all round, one with deep
killed founce, another with a. futed
appearance from a pointed yoke, and
the third is a very picturesque model.

broad waisf belt and paniers on the
hips and a long Directoire coat with

A new skirt inspiration, one with
kiited pJeats all the way round, tucked
at the edge, very narrowly in front,
hut widening toward the back, is of
mauve tafretas, and a perfectly fresh
idea is shown in the bodice, too, see
ing that it is trimmed with undulated
lace insertions, picked cut with gold
and steel thread and paillettes. Daintt
est little tassels of mauve silk and gold
and silver cord, also very handsome
buttons, contribute their share to the
general success, and a lovely toque OF
the round Spanish turban kind crowns
the whole endeavor, the brim a garland
OF roses, from palast pink to deepest
crimson, and the crown bed OF petals.

The Prlnccss's Wheel.

A story which is told by an Italian
paper of the young Princess Laetizia,
cousin of the king, shows that the
young lady has mind Of her own,
not unlike other girls not Of princely
birth. She is characterized as the mad
cap of the royal family, which has
lived in terror Of her next prank. Sew
eral times her escapades have thrown
her into disgrace with even the genial
King Humbert; but on at least one oc-
casion she came of triumphant
When the bicycle began to be popu-
lar, the Princess Lactizia bought one
and startled the proprieties by riding
publicly in the streets Of Turin.
This was bad enough, but when her
royal highress appeared in knicker-
lockers, it became too bad. The news
reached the kings ears, and he at once
forbade the royal guards to salute the
princess when she passed the palace
gates.
The princess was angry, but persist
ed. At last she was forbidden to ride
the bicycle. and ordered to Rome to
Justify her conduct. IL she could. She
went with her bicycle, and once there
she pleaded so effectually and elo-
quently that the king and queen con-
sented to see her ride in the palace
gardens, and having secn-ordered bl-
cycles themselves!
Queen Margherita in particular be-
came a very expert Theelwoman. and
Sc Jcral marvellousiy beautiful wheels
were presented to her, cne of which
contained much ivory wrought With
precious stones III its construction.
The Princess Laetizia returned to
Turin in triumph, but the knickerbock-
e1s remained a strictly forbidden joy!

Alexandra's Unique Position.

Many people suppose that Queen
Alexandra has unique powers in her
own right, by reason of her being con-
sort of the occupant Of the throne.
This, however, is quite an erroneous
idea, for, although she has many privi-
leges, she is in reality the kings SUBJ
ject and amenable to the nations laws.
It is only since the reign Of Mary
that the consort has been given any
privileges at all, an act of parliament
then being passed to render any one
plotting against Philip of Spain guilty
OF high treason. Today, therefore,
Queen Alexandra is protected by this
law, but should the king die any one
who plotted against her could not be
dealt with upon charge of high trea-
son, for her previous protection would
be annulled by her husbands demise.
Neither could she marry again without
the consent of the new monarch, which
in this case would, of course, be her
son.
The king can do no wrong, but the
queen consort can. The British laws
would permit her creditors to sue her
if they wished, just as she could sue
the humblest subject in the realm. She
can engage in business, though all doc
umentary transactions must be signed
by her as queen of Britain. In busi-
ness transaction the consort is not rec
cgnized as the spouse of the king, but
as a person capable of conducting her
own affairs without the interference of
the reigning monarch, nor can she
command his interference, but would
have to settle dispute in the ordinary
way.
All state documents are signed by
the king, but not by the queen consort,
for she has no authority to take an
active part in state matters at all.
Should the king be i'll, however, he can
appoint her as his proxy, and, by a
special license, grant her powers equiv,
alent to his own. In this case her sig
nature at the foot of official documents
would be as enectual as if they were
signed by the king himself. One pecu-
liar privilege of Queen Alexandra's is
that she is the only married woman in
the country who is not amenable to the
married woman's property act, though
she is bound by every other law.
The king is in no way responsible
for his wife's debts, as any other hus-
land would be. To define this law
more clearly it was decided during the
reign of William w that the queer
consort should have a separate rev.
enue. Formerly it was customary fol
her to have one-tenth of her husband
income, which was called queens
money" until the act was passed au'
thorizing grant apart from the kings
to be made her annually. She is ex-
| cmpt from all taxes as being the wits
Of the king, though she is recognized
as a public person and is represented
in courts by her own attorney and So
licitor-general.
Although in the eye of the law she is
a subject of the king, she is entitled tc
all the kings honors so long as she
lives, but upon his death all her formei
privileges vanish. She can at no time
interfere in ecclesiastical matters, mol
can she reprieve prisoner nor sign q
death warrant.

Neckwear for Spring.

In the stocE~coilar proper there Is
rothing new or striking. They are the
same plain collars that have been worn
for seasons and seasons, and will con-
tinue long to reign.
The double effect stock, with metal
buckle in front, that came out last sea-
son, will still be la mode this year.
Persian effects for neckwear are quite
passe, and much lighter, more DELICATE
touches prevail.
Heavy materials are decidedly out Of
favor for neckwear. Satin is very little
seen, the same sheeny effect without
the weight is secured by using liberty,
mousseline or similar materials.
A very attractive new effect is gained
in many of the new scarfs by tucking,
the work being so delicately done as to
appear as if falling into natural folds.
These new tucked ideas promise to be
exceedingly popular.
Another late idea is tc cut the ends
OF neck scarf out, the cut-out portion
being edged with delicately futed
mousseline. Fxcee dinghy dainty white
ones have narrow bars Of black velvet
ribbon crossing over the cut-out por-
