Sublime Courage by which Princess
saIOme Escaped Her Master.

Sublime Courage by which Princess
saIome Escaped Her Master.
James Baker, well known traveller
ard writer. tells a curious story of
war 100 years ago. The Persian shah
was besieging Tiflls. and the husband
OF the Princess Salome had been slair
in the siege. When the Persians en-
tered and sacked the town Salome
tried to save her young son, but he was
torn from her arms and hacked in
pieces before her eyes. Her own life
was spared and she was borne to the
camp outside the walls of Tiflis to the
shah. He sold her to Djafar Bek. who
shut her up in a castle-a part of which
still remains-near where now is the
lovely tropical botanical garden of
Tihis. Charmed by her beauty, he ask
ed her TO become his wife. She re
fused and begged her purchaser to
slay her. The Persian gave her a night
to reconsider the matter and on the
next day he lay reclining ON a great
cushion under a tree on that hot, sun
nv hillside and awaited her answer
Presently she appeared before him,
yelled in a long, pure white robe, calm
and stately, her face deathly pale. She
advanced. her armed jailers following
her. The Persian waved his followers
aside and asked the princess, "You con.
sent to be my wife?' "Yes," was the
solemn answer Il consent to love
you, for after the death of my husband
and son it is my destiny; there is nc
/ other fate for me.
"In Georgia. said the princess
! there are certain families that possess
strange powers and dark secrets. My
mother foretold I should be the wife OF
a Djafar. and from my mother 1, too
receive these powers to read the fu
ture" The Persian was impressed by
her manner and her presence. She saw
her power. Give me your hand" she
said. LET me read there II / shall
have long years Of happiness will
you" He held forth his hand. She
held It until it slightly trembled in heI
fingers. Then she burst forth with G
cry Of horror, "Oh, my master, know
est thou that death awaits thee, per

white waists arc worn but this is sea-
son when color reigns supreme in the new
shirt waists as well as in everything else.
Solid colors in bright tints are to be
found among the vcstings and are very
stylish. but the prettiest waists are those
that have white ground and a colored
stripe or figure. Marrow broken stripes
are particularly good and to further en-

hitch uttons and the braid must exactly
match. This mohair braid is on every
thing. evening coats and the most elab'
crate gowns. but on these cotton shirt
waists it is rather too unusual to be uni
versally admired.
There is really little change i'm the shape
of the new waists. The shoulders are long
and square but not dropping and the
sleeve. which is oftonest seen, is Of me-

waist which I saw recently, had wide
