SWEDISH ROYALTY
THE ROMANTIC BEGINNING OF
 PRESENT LINE OF KINGS.
Napoleon's~ Marshal. Bernadotte the Founder-King Oscar and Queen Happy Pair - Delightful
 Homes and Home Life.

The royal house of Sweden, which will soon be brought into close alliance with England's reigning family, had a romantic beginning, and has continued the tradition to the present day. A century ago Jean Jules Bernadotte, the lawyers son of Pau, who entered the French army in 17S0, was mar shal of France, rejoicing in the newly conferred title of prince of PontecorvO, which signalized his prowess at Aus terlitz. But Napoleon was jealous of the marshal, and had been so ever since he discovered that Bernadotte was in love with the young girl, De- siree Clary, whom Napoleon had chosen for his bride, only to throw her over when he met Madame de Beau harnais.. The emperor proposed other alliances for Desiree Clary, but she re- fused them all and married Berna- dotte, by that time general, because

Great Church Lawyer Making Clocks
 Lord Grimthorpe, who has been de- voting his eighty-ninth year in design ing a clock for the tower of the parish church at West Melton, Yorkshire, England, is surely the most remarkable of living clockmakers, says the West minister Gazette. It is more than half a century since he was busy superin- tending the design of the great clock at Westminster. The original Big Ben'' was the child of his inventive brain. and it's successor bears in Gothic let ters the legend that 1t was cast under the direction of Edmund Beckett Deni' son, 0.

Natural Flower. on Petticoats.

The capricious beauty who is con. vinced that diamond tiaras and steam yachts are requisite to contented mind is now adding the new flower petticoat' to this list of necessities, for 1t is beautiful and expensive enough to captivate her fancy, says the New York Press. So far as making and ma terial is concerned it does not vary much from any other skirt adapted to evening wear, for it Is made of white silk, embroidered with roses or violets and festooned with founces of real lace. The unusual feature about it, however, is that there are ribbons at- tached to the upper founces which are designed to hold punches of natural flowers every time the skirt is worn. Thus this dainty affair is able to radi- ate a fragrance so sweet and subtle that as yet the most skilled perfumer has been unable to initiate It..
