A century ago there were 10000 "laz-
zaronP' in Naples. Neither disease
nor want has diminished their number.
Their children die at a fearful rate,
but there are many hospitals for the
survivors, and neither board nor lodg-
ing costs them much when, at a ma
ture age, they are turned loose into
the world to become lazzaroni in their
turn, like their unknown fathers and
mothers.
what is a lazzaroneY it may be
asked According to Colletta, he is a
being who lives how he can without
working. If he puts his hand to hon
est labor, he is no longer a lazzarone.
1t may be doubted whether the laz-
zarone will ever become extinct. The
"resanitatiOn" scheme will not oust
him nor make him change his habits.
He is more than half what his climate
makes him.-National Review.

KING WORRIED BY PROPHECY
uannted for Weeks With Fear That lie
Never Would Be Crowned

London. June 2G.-At various times
during the last year Il has been pre-
dicted that King Edward would never
be crowned. Many believed his health
would not survive, and others saw
ominous signs of coming disaster in
every little turn OF the coronation
preparations. The king has for weeks
been haunted with a superstitious
fear, engendered by prophecies that he
would never be crowned. Reports
have been current in london that he
has been much depressed over these
prophecies. and at times has appeared
moody and morose. IL is said that he
was apprehensive that he would never
see his coronation day.
II became a serious problem how to
control his majesty's mental condi.
tion. for the conviction seized the king
that he was fated never to wear the
British crown; IN other words. that
the prophecy would be fulfilled that he
would reign. but would never be
crowned. He incessantly studied his
own symptoms, insisted that the doc
tors frequently take his temperature.
and brooded In a state of low despair
over his condition.
There is an old story that at the
time OF Edwards birth a prophecy
was made which ran: king shall Ed.
ward be, but never shall he be
crowned"
Another prophecy of a like forebod-
ing nature was made by Cheiro. the
Partisan palmist. who predicted the
death Of Queen Victoria six months
before It occurred. Cheiro said: The
new king near the months of May
or June this year, win be IN serious
danger Of his life"
Some slight idea OF what the death
Of the king would mean financially
to England may be gathered from the
statistics Of the insurance against the
kings life that nearly all business men
In London and many of the tradesmen
Of the provinces are carrying. Il ag-
gregates, perhaps, S100.00O,O0O.

Points On Skirts

Some skirts are cut short, others
made just to brush the ground at the
back and still others have very long
trains. All evening gowns have trains,
and the newest mode Is TO cut them
square.
With Paris wearing short skirts, the
fashion probably has come to stay.
These short gowns are made up this
summer in different kinds Of wash ma
terials, but the smartest of all are
pongees, linens, mohairs and light
weight cheYiots. Separate short skirts
in these materials are shown in the
shops.
The dressy gowns-frou-frou froclxs
they are very we'll named-of airy tex
ties, elaborated with laces, fichus and
sashes, are all very billowy about the
feet and ripple out at the back in a
foam OF fiounces. These airy textiles
are generally hung loosely over silk
Innings TO increase the effect of light
ness. All well-behaved skirts must
ripple out gracefully at the base, anc
to secure this effect French haircloth If
sometimes used to face the drop skirt
up to whatever height liked. The seams
OF the gored lining are first stitched
and pressed; the haircloth is then laic
on and cut to fit without pleats. So sup
ported underneath, the most etherea
fabric will fiounce out gracefully.
Ruffles are more and more in evi.
dence as the season advances. There
may be any number from one to a Sc
ries which covers the entire skirt.
The three-founced skirt. the TOT
flounce beginning at the waist, has Z
vogue.

appearance in Paris, but the pleats ar,
