Toned to just clear the ground, and the
prettiest are killed up to about four
inches of the waist line, where they
are put into a shaped yoke. Other de-
sirable models are heavily strapped,
while others again are prettiy
trimmed with a fancy silken braid of
a corresponding color.
There seems to be very little differ
ence between the evening bodice and
the evening blouse of the hour, simply
because the best dressmakers no
longer bone the evening bodice, but
allow it to bag in much the same man
ner as do the smart-looking blouses.
In both bodices and blouses the
French modiste has utterly discarded
the transparent lace yoke in favor of
the high lace collar and dainty chiffon
jabot.
TO some of to-day's best creations in
outer garments no description could
do justice. AS for fur garments one is
tempted to spend a small fortune on
them. For those of us who cannot
do this, however, some compensation
is offered in the new gray squirrel
boas which are now obtainable at
rather small cost and yet are very
smart indeed, when worn with discre-
ton. My advice to wamen with q
small income is to pick up a pretty
thing of this description, if they can,
always, of course, wearing it with the
greatest of care. 1t is well to remem-
Der that the woman with plenty of
money, combined with exquisite taste,
can always look well dressed, but it
is when the allowance is small and
many calls made upon it that the real
difficulty arises.
1t seems to me at this season of the
year one sees the best fashions in the
way of lounging robes and teagowns.
and one marvels at the wonderful crea-
lions in smart-looking teaiackets and
dainty little coffee coats constantly
putting in an appearance. Perhaps it
is because the coy warmth of these
most delightful of garments appeals
to the majority of womankind more at
this particular time of the year that
the fashion makers are led to put
forth their best efforts in this direc
ton during the winter months.
In the new comfortable looking
lounging robes one sees much compen-
sation for the ills of life, always pro-
vided one is not too i'll to take note of
such things. In the interesting mat
ter of material of which these gar
ments are fashioned there is ALSO

HIS LIFE NOT HAPPY.
Archduke Karl of Austria Exists in
Splendid Misery.
Little Boy who May Become Emper-
or and King Is Deprived of All
the Pleasures and Sports
of Childhood.

Owing to a combination of eXtraor-
binary circumstances, it is highly
probable that after the death of EN-
peror Francis Joseph, neither his heir
presumptive, Archduke Francis Ferd-
inand, nor Archbishop Otto, who
stands second in the line of success
sion, will ascend the throne, but that
the crown of Austria-Hungary will
pass to Archduke Karl, now a boy
10 years of age.
Although this strange break in the
succession has been a possibility for
some time, it has become a decided
proba bility only recently. 1t is now
reported that the boys father and
uncle have definitely promised to
stand aside for him and that formal
| declaration to this effect is about to
be made.
1t might be supposed that the
| altered situation would cause the
small Karl to be an enviable young
person-which same supposition is a
grievous error. He is the unhappies st
boy i'll Europe, and his future prom
lses even more misery than the pres
ent confers upon him.
All his life, says the Chicago Record
Herald, he has been kept in restraint
on the ground that the future en-
peror must not do this, that and the
other. He has enjoyed none of the
frolics and amusements that make the
lives of other lads merry. Since his
eighth birthday his only recreation
has been military drill, for the future
emperor must be a soldier who under
stands all branches of the profession
thoroughly. Besides his native Ger
man, ten languages are spoken by the
various peoples of Austria-Hungary,
and the little archduke has to learn
them all, for he must be prepared to
talk to his future subjects in their
own tongues. These are the Czech,
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1903-01-29

Polish, Ruthenian, Roumanian, Slavon-
ian, Servian, Croatian, Hungarian,
Slovak and Italian languages, a for
midable list which does not complete
the archduke's linguistic require
ments, for he must also be proficient
in French and English.
There are 10 Legislative assemblies
in the dual monarchy, and the future
emperor-king must be acquainted
with the political affairs debated in
all of them. He must be an expert in
diplomacy, in Jurisprudence, in admin
istrative government, in commercial
matters, in sociology, and so forth.
The task of acquiring all these
varied accomplishments is laborious
in the extreme. The archduke rises at
five every morning, and begins his
studies at six. After two hours work
with one of his many tutors, he takes
an interval for breakfast and goes
back to his books from nine till -
o'clock. Lunch is taken at noon, and
from one till three in the afternoon
the archduke performs military drill,
which consists of riding, fencing, gym
nastics, marching, sword drill, re-
volver drill and trench digging.
Studies are resumed at 4:30, and con-
tinue till six p. m, which is the din
ner hour After dinner ArchdulIe
Karl spends an hour with his mother
and younger brother, and goes back
to his books for another hour before
retiring to rest punctually at nine
o'clock.
Twice a week he attends lectures on
science at the Schotten high school,
in order that he may see something of
life at a public school. But he has none
of the fun. He goes sOlemnly in the
court equipage with his tutor, Count
Wallis, and with detectives in plain
clothes swarming about-for his life
is valuable. He sits in the front row
with the other pupils, but is permit
ted to have practically no intercourse
with them.
1t can be no particular qualification
TO him that he is heir to great wealth.
He gets $4,000 a year just for being
an archduke, and as it accumulates I'M
til he comes of age at 20, he will then
have nearly S1,000,000, besides a con-
tinuation for life of the $40 900 When
he ascends the throne he inherits the
private property apportioned to each
emperor, supposed to be worth about

lutely no limit to them. Thu prettiest,
however, according to my notion, are
made of silk and wool deIain, with a
most luxurious lining of wadded silk.
All are made with loose flowing sleeves.
Some are prettily trimmed with silk
cord and fancy buttons, while not a
few others are given a decidedly
dressy appearance by means of a full
jabot which is allowed to fall from the
throat to the hem of the skirt.
When one wanders into the realm
of the teagOwn the temptation to
spend money is almost irresistible.
Of course, the material par excellence
for this ideally lovely garment is
crepe de chine. although during the
week l have seen some charming
models made of soft silk, also of all
wool cashmere. The prettiest are

SIGNOR ZANARDELLI.
Although Thorough Democrat
ItaIy's Prime Minister Is Highly
Esteemed by His King.

Italy is particularly fortunate in
having two really strong men at the
head of her affairs, Sig. Zanardelli,
the premier, and Sig. Giolitti, the min
lister of the interior. The situation is,
however, curious as these two men,
although never having been real rivals,
are as jealous of each other as a
couple of women. But notwithstand
ing this they have worked in harmony
in the same cabinet for over two years,
recognizing the fact, perhaps, that
they are necessary to each other, and
that the retirement of either would

mean the certain fall of the ministry.
Sig. Ianardelli's democratic princi-
pies have interfered with his political
ambition, as in the days of King Hum
bert democratic principles were at
discount and any effort to depart from
the accepted way was nipped in the
bud.
Once Zanardelli was requested to
form cabinet, and, thinking young
blood necessary, chose comparative
ly unknown men, some of them now
the highest i'll the political world of
Italy. King Humbert looked at the
list and then at Zanardelli and said
severely: These are the under-sec-
retaries, of course, and the ministers?"
That day Sig. Crispi again took the
helm, and the career of the new
premier was considered at an end.
The prime minister is exceptionally
tall and thin, usually badly dressed,
with a stoop about his shoulders, but
a power in the ca binet much above the
ordinary. At court he is no better
liked than the minister of the interior,
although the king supports and val
ues him above all. Last Christmas, as
is customary, he and the cabinet asked
an audience of the queens mother,
who replied refusing, saying that it
was too soon after her husbands
death, but that event had not prevent
ed her from receiving the Saracco
cabinet one year earlier, four months
after King Humbert's death.
