country is the smallest among the
truly independent states of Europe.
Servia is certainly several places
higher in the monarchicar hiera rchy.
The prince of Montenegro was there
fore DESTROYS of having the king of
Servia for q son-in-law, and thereby
greatly increasing his prestige in the
Balkan peninsula. The alliance was
agreed upon.
The poor princess, only IS years old,
innocent, inexperienced, was sent
forth, accompanied by suitable es-
cort, to meet her future husband at
his capital, Belgrade.
The meeting of the affianced pair
was arranged. The princess stood in
her reception room, erect, radiant, a
model of Montenegrin beauty, to await
the king.
The king shambled forward, grin
ming, shambling, knock-kneed, hardly
able to see.
"Mon dieu, mais vous etes impossi-
ble!" cried the princess, speaking in
French. as she is accustomed to do.
The cry came from her heart and
was the first impulse of an innocent,
unspoiled nature. The princess
turned away from the king and put her
arm around her lady-in-waiting.
King Alexander mumbled few lame
words of welcome and tried to cover
up the rebuff by suggesting that the
princess was suffering from the IA
tigue of the journey-Princess Xenia
glanced at him with plying smile
and fed.
The action of the princess put an end
to the match. Even in royal families
it is scarcely possible to go on with
preparations for wedding after the
bride has expressed the deepest loath-
ing and disgust for the bridegroom.
After the first meeting the princess did
not hesitate to repeat her expressions
of disgust and to assert that she would
rather die than marry King Alexander.
There was nothing to do but to take
her back to her fathers capital, Get
TIME.
When Princess Xenia said that
King Alexander was impossible, she
did not exaggerate. His personal ap-
pearance is singularly degraded and
repulsive. He has prominent, black
eyebrows, scarcely any forehead and
a mat of black hair. His forehead ap-
pears to have been smashed down over
his head with hammer. His small
eyes are extremely weak and recede
into his forehead. His nose is small
and hooked. He is round-shouldered,
knock-kneed and splay-footed.

sometimes happens that the perma-
nent, or second" teeth are not prop
erly cut. The mouth is thus disfig-
ured by the loss of the first set of
teeth and the nonappearance of the
second teeth. With the X-ray the
dentist can determine whether the
second tooth is in the gnm, and if
SO, why it has not appeared. The
obstruction is removed, a passage
opened and the tooth works grad
ually down to its place. An opera

Thus, the state of Minas Geraes has

family of Portugal fed to Brazil in
1915 and founded the kingdom, the
Roman Catholic church was estab-

was chosen perpetual defender" the
established religion of the country
was the Roman Catholic. When the
republic was declared all connection
between church and state was abol-

about 100000 Protestants in the re-
