Cecilia Described

BERLIN, Sept. 5.-The Duchess Cecilia
Of Mecklenburg- -Schwerin, whose be-
trothal to the Crown Prince Frederick
William of Germany was announced last
night, is a tall, slight girl, light haired
and brown-eyed. Although she could
scarcly be called pretty, she has vivid
complexion and Is of sprightly demeanor.
Duchess Cecilia was brought up simply by
her parents and was taught the duties Of
housekeeping as the daughter of any
country gentleman. She is fond of rid
ing and driving and speaks English and
French perfectly and Russian we'll AL
though she has lived several years abroad,
the duchess remains a true German girl.
The only time she and the crown prince
have been seen together in public was a
few evenings ago. The crown prince had
called on her and her mother at the
Kaiserhof hotel, just before they left for
home. After talking with them for an
hour, the crown prince took them to the
station in an automobile and found that
the train did not start for an hour. He
then asked them to drive round the city,
and with them went through the principal
streets, which started the first talk of an
engagement. 1t Is impossible to say
whether it is love match or not.
Strong dynastic reasons for the marriage
exist. Only once during the last century,
in the case of Frederick III, has Prus-
sian king taken a wife except from Ger
man princely house. The emperor de-
sires to bring the Cumberland, Danish and
Netherlands courts into closer relations
with the German court. The Duchess
Cecilia's brother, the grand duke of
Mechlenburg- -Schwerin, married last June
the Princess Alexandria, second daughter
of the Duke of Cumberland, a sister of
the future queen of Denmark The
Duchess Cecilia is also niece by mar
riage of the Prince Consort of Holland.
The best loved of Prussian queens,
Louise, was of the same family, but of
the Strelitz branch.
The crown prince had, as it transpired,
visited the duchess and her mother at
their lodge at Mueritz on the Baltic, and
while resting there, over a cup of tea, he
asked her to marry him. Upon receiving
the consent of the duchess the crown
prince Immediately wired to the emperor
and empress.

ated full ruff1es of lace trim, over
chiffon ruff1e, the quilting mentioned,
peeping from under the lace edge, all
above them are ruchings of the chiffon
corded at the center. The bodice has
a transparent lace yoke, and a bertha
founce also sleeve flounces; the crepe
is full beneath and in the half length
sleeves, blousing slightly over the
taffeta belt and arm band. Long
chiffon scarf ends tie at yoke front
and a rhinestone buckle finishes girdle.
With these a pretty slipper is indis-
pensable and to the fortunate possess
sor of high instep there is nothing
that shows 1t to more advantage than
a rather vamped slipper with a moder-
ately high heel. In bronze or in
French kid these come in a variety
of attractive styles. The colonial tie
is a boon to an instep lacking in
height, as the tongue supplies the de-
ficiency, but in any shoe to be worn
in the house when comfort is. to reign
the French heel is to be avoided and
is entirely out of keeping with this
kind of a costume.

Odd Old Laws

One of the oldest sets of laws of the
Choctaw Nation has just been discovered
One clause relates to the killing of
witches. For witchcraft the penalty was
death, and for alleging ones self to be
a witch or for saying that any other per-
son was one was punishable by sixty
lashes on the bare back
Another declared that no doctor could
take money or any Of the belongings of
a patient he treated if the patient died.
If the patient were raised up from a
sick bed the doctor could accept what
was offered to him, and If nothing was
offered, then he could take in goods what
was his just compensation.
In 1884 the Choctaw council passed an
act which made a person who bargained
to sell any of the Choctaw land a. traitor
and punishable by death. Any white
man who encouraged such action was
deported. An Indian who sold or disposed
of land either to individuals or to the
United States in toto should be considered
a traitor and shot on conviction. This was
just preceding the beginning Of the work
of the Dawes commission.-Kansas City

Weather and Cotton.

The CO raiu which began yester.
day afternoon ana continued through
last night and today is practically
the first interruption that the Chicka-
saw Nation farmers have experienced
in the gathering OF their cotton crop
since the opening Of the season the
latter part of August. Although there
is probably one-fourth of the noocy
staple yet ungathered the farmers Of
this section have either sold or have
safely within bagging and ties more
than an average crop for any like area
OF land in this cotton belt. The tenn
porary bad weather will no doubt re-
suit In as much good, to take It as a
whole, as a continuation of the clear
weather, for the farmers are as well
fixed now as they could have been
had the crop and weather conditions
been left at their discretion from
early spring until now since they are
wei prepared for the winter buying
this will serve to remind them Of the
necessities that cold weather creates
and the merchants will begin receiving
the profitable business that such a
year entities them to.

on basis of increase of valuation
which would make the taxes low
err all along the line.
The increased revenue will not
come from an increased valuation
of property but from property not
before listed. That is where a
farm, stock or merchandise
were given as the law required
and listed at one fourth its value
the taxes on that property will be
less than last year. But in case
where only a partial value was
returned, that property will pay
more this year If listed at its true
value as in the railroad assess
ment.
The new revenue law in that
particular at least is a great i'm
provement over the old law, which
everybody got in the habit of
evading. The more one had
the greater was the evasion UNI
til the small property owners were
paying the bulk of the taxes.
