Queen Alexandra's coronation robe,
which she was so unhappily prevented
from wearing, excited great interest
among those permitted to see Ii in the
shop of the Partisan couturiere who

and diamonds. The corsage, cut low
and square, forms in front wide fold,
ending in a point at the bottom. 1t

ends in a great pearl. There are no
sleeves, their place being taken by
long wings of mousseline edged with a

Yes she answered, 'I have decid-

should I leave it? I hate getting into
smart clothes in hot weather, to say
nothing of the bother of getting them,
and the cost of them also, SO / shall

about the girls? Oh, they can go away
il they want to- they can always find
| people to chaperon them; but if they
will take my advice they viii stay
right here. When I was a girl We did
not leave town for the entire summer
and shut up our house, as we do now.
] Do you remember, Richard (this to
her husband), how you used to hap
pen to go by nearly every evening,
and when you found us sitting on the
stoop how you always came up and
joined US, and how we two used to
stroll off afterward to the park, oppo-

fountain to get a cool drink? Do you

Make new friends. but keep the old,
| Those are silver, these are gold,
! New-made friends, like new wine,
| Age will mellow and refine.
Friendships that have stood the test,
Time and change, are surely best.
Brow may wrinkle, hair turn gray,
Friendship never owns decay;
For mid old friends kind and true
We once more our youth renew,
But. alas! old friends must die
New friends must their place supply;
Then cherish friendship in your breast,
New is good but old is best.
! Make new friends, but keep the old,
Those are silver, these are gold.
