The Italians were much myStified and
even a bit displeased, says the New
York Commercial Advertiser, when it
was announced that the Kings second
daughter, born few weeks ago, was
to be named Mafalda. Such a name
was unknown in the italian calendar
of saints, and no good Italian baby
would be christened barbarously ivy"
violet" Dorothy" or any impious
bad as Gladys or Gwendolen, but it
sounded odd and unfamiliar and I'M
Italian. The King was requested to
explain and to make clear who NATAL
da was, if such a person ever existed.
The explanation is interesting.
Mafalda is Portuguese for Matilda,
and a Princess Matilda of Savoy was
the wife of King Alfonso Enriques,
who was considered the founder of the
Portuguese monarchy. He met her in
a strange way. The Princess was an
Amazon, who, when Milan was be-
sieged, headed a body of Savoy knights
and went to the rescue of the city. She
fought so bravely, and was so hand
some, that Barbarossa, the invader, fell
in love with her, and when she fell
into his hands he gave her her choice
-"dishonor or death" DEATH" she
cried This answer so struck a young
warrior present that he vowed to set
the brave girl free again. This he did,
and when the war was over he dis
closed his name-Alfonso Enriques,
King of Portugal-and asked her to be
his wife. When the King took his
bride to Portugal the Queens name
was changed from Matilda to Mafalda.
Queen Mafalda became an exemplary
wife and mother, devoted her life to
good works.

in time to avoid marrying one another.
Jack remembers that he was once wild
over Daisybell and clasps her in his
arms after the long parting only to
find he is holding the wrath of love.
Daisybell gazes up into Jacks eyes and
wonders why she once thought they
were blue, when they are distinctly
green, and why she ever, ever, ever
said she liked to kiss a man with a
mustache. Then Jack looks down and
suddenly discovers that Daisybell has
a double chin and that she puts rouge
on her lips All these things were quite
as true before they parted; but the
halo of romance hung over them and
blinded the sweethearts. Now the ro-
nance is gone and, luckily. they will
grow tired of one another in a week.
Each of us knows now what a ter
rible shock we had when we met our
old schoolday sweetheart after ten
years of absence and several other love
affairs had quite wiped out the senti-
ment of the childish affair. The girl
who we once thought had charming
retrousse nose and hair like silk is a
scrawny old thing with eyeglasses and
lisp, and the boy who could look such
unutterable things and was hero on
the football field, is a pudgy, little fell
low, two inches shorter than he should
be and quite red about the nose. Would
we have changed our opinions so de-
cidedly if we had been watering the
flower of love all this time? Decidedly
not. 1t is not the alteration in the per-
son, but the alteration in the serti
ment, which makes us see defects to
which we were once quite blind. And
we may bind up our eyes and stuff our
ears with cotton, but we will never be-
come blind or deaf again. The fizz has
gone out of the nectar. Nothing is so
dead as dead love.

Making Ones Self over.

1t is quite wonderful what a woman
who goes seriously to work to improve
her personal appearance could accom-
plish nowaday, says the New York
Tribune In fact, it would seem that
there was no longer any need of any
woman remaining ugly If she has time
and money at her disposal, always
providing that she has sufficient per-
ception to know just what is needed,
and to go just SO far but no further
in her improvement upon nature, for
what have hitherto been used as beau
tifiers (paint, powder and dyes) are
now considered artificial and unnec-
essary.

husband out of town on a short busi-

FROM SEAMSTRESS TO SINGER
Career of Cavalieri, Now the Idol of
Song in Italy.


From a tailors bench to the operatic
stage is rather far cry From a hard
earned wage of a few sous a day to
singers salary of thousands a night
is considerable of a progression. Yet
from the one to the other Lima Cava-
lieri, beautiful italian girl, has
travelled in few short years. But
they were not easy years.
Yet to-day Lima Cavalieri is the idol
of her countrymen. She is little known
in America, though she has conquered
half the world with her beauty and
sweet voice. Less than three years
ago she made her debut. and now the
announcement that Lima Cavalieri will
sing is sufficient to insure full house
She is Slender slip of a girl, this
great singer who is being hailed as
the most beautiful woman in Italy. She
has q peculiar fascination that all &C
knowledge. Her face is classically
beautiful, such a one as the great
masters loved in the days gone by.
Before she was 16 she had to find
for herself. She was penniless until
she got work in a tailor-shop where
for three years she toiled. But stitch
ing was bread and butter, and Lena
stitched on till the fairy prince came
and brought about her awakening.
He was a young lieutenanat in the
army, son of rich and powerful Ro-
man family. He was attracted by the
girls unusual beauty. He sought her
acquaintance, and convinced of his sin
certify, Lima fell desperately in love with
him, and for a while was ecstaticaAy
happy.
But the law stepped in and put an
end to their dream of bliss. For the
law-the Italian law, that Essays that
an officer in the army shall not marry
unless his proposed bride has so and
so much of money. And the lower
the rank of the officer the bigger must
be his wife's dowry-to offset, of course,
the smallness of his own salary. A
lieutenant's rank entails on his bride
the possession of not less than 10000
francs-about $4,000. His family man
aged to have the young man trans
ferred ''to break off this unfortunate
affair" The young people never met
again.
For two years she sang in a cafe
chantant of the city. For two years
she lived in the atmosphere of their
temptations, performing all her part
of the programmes, but refusing all
overtues of friendship.
She had saved enough to go to Paris
where her voice and beauty at once
won her a place in a fashionable re-
sort. She became a fad, had a distinc-
tive vogue of her own, and in six
months had saved enough to begin her
studies under Nine. Marchesi.
Her debut was in Rome. the scene
of her early struggles. 1t was in a
small part, but her friends of the cafes
had not forgotten her, and gave her
rousing greeting. They called her
before the curtain repeatedly, and
would not be satisfied till she had sung
them one of her old songs. For ten
months she stayed in Rome, gaining
steadily in popularity and in power.
Then she went to Russia and sang
there all the leading opera roles.

style, she can accomplish much more
than a pretty woman, for the very
reason that her looks give her free
dom and courage which the other cam
not feel, the latter being really handi-
capped in a way by her own beauty
With men agreeable ugliness is often
a distinct advantage; but in every
case, with women and men alike,
what is known as style is essential,
and a knowledge of dress. They must
be beautifully gowned and very well
turned out in every particular; but IL
they recognize their possibilities and
make the most of them they need not
fear comparison or competition.
