sooner than was expected. but it can

1 cOnversant with the history of the
/ Talleyrand-P erigOrd family, the most
I prominent and potent figure in which
/ Charles Maurice, Prince of BeneVentO,
( the most subtle. shreWd and unprin-
cipled of all modern diplomats" a
/ renegade priest whom Mirabeau de-
nounced as Infamous; Zone of the
| trainers of the Declaration of
/ Rights" a traitor to his order and his
church; the proposer of the conhsca-
/ ton of religious property; conspicuous
above all for Righteousness in private
/ life and for ca1louS dISloyalty to every
/ obligation of decency and honor. This
| descendant of Prince Charles Maurice
| de Talleyrand-PerigOr paid court to
Miss Morton, and she thought she was
/ in love with him. Soon after the
| marriage the noble bridegroom OBJ
/ tanned from Mr.. Morton the sum of
| $543, 673, in order to purchase the
! chateau de Valencay, the possession of
| which bestowed upon him the ducaI
title. Mr.. Morton advanced the money
on condition that the property should
be held in his daughters name. This
condition was resented by the Talley-
rand-Perigord family, and there the
! breach was opened. For some time
past the duke has resided in his
] chateau, and the duchess-Whose
U
in Paris. The dukes mother, is seems,
has applied to the pope for an annul-
ment of the marriage. Mr. Morton
defrauded and Inundated daughter
has appealed to the civil courts for a
dissolution of the legal bond. What
part, if any, has been played in this
abominable drama by the dukes elder
brother, Prince Helie, does not ap-
pear in the chronique Scandaleuse of
the day. Perhaps he has not yet
satisfied the civil authorities touching
the authenticity of those signatures on
certain notes of hand purporung 10

And so it goes. Any marriage that
! is made for other than reason of pure
affection guided by common sense viii
be a wreck. no matter who makes it,

It is safe to say that one out of ev-
/ cry four women one sees on the rail-
/ way coaches wears a travelling coat OF
some kind. The modern travelling coat
/ is the IineaI descendant of the Old-fash-
1 toned linen buster and is not only a
/ handsome garment but is more endur-
able The linen buster crumpled in an
/ hours wearing and one arrived at one }
/ destination in disgraceful state While
/ the new coats are as fresh at the end

/ One advantage of wearing them is that
I a very informal and comfortable gown
may be worn underneath Taffeta,
/ pongee, mohaiF, cravenette and water
proof silk are all good materials and
/ one may positively suit ones fancy as
/ to color as everything is worn, not
even white being barred. Waterproof
silk comes in shades of navy blue, gun
/ metal, and claret and is used for rain
! coats, motoring and evening wraps us
/ well as travelling coats Following the
I fashions in skirts all the new dust and
/ travelling coats are voluminOuS in build
and flare widely at the bottom and
have enormous sleeves with easy wrist
bands.
At the jewellers are seen a number
/ of jewelIed crosses to be worn on slen-
/ der chains. They are composed OF
square or oblong seni-precious stones
/ amethysts, topaz, tourmaline and so

one. has, like the heroine of Middle
march, a prejudice against wearing the
cross for an ornament.
Pink and white. by the way. is

cool, and dainty. Some of the French

I are lovely. Pink is particularly effec-

With these dainty crowns pink lawn

pink or blue linen gown, piece of all

sometimes needed. The expense of

texture of the two pieces is alike Or
nearly so, the colors can be perfectly

Linen collars are being revived. Many
women will deplore the fact, having
I grown accustomed to the comfort of
] the soft stock. Every one knows that
stim collars destroy the beauty of the
throat. They are trim and becoming

I order Of an Elton, is shown. It is cool

such a variety Of widths, round and
square points, etc, that almost any
