BUYING AT HOME IN GERMANY

There is a great scandal in eonnec-
ton with the marriage of the Duchess
Cecilia and the Crown Prince of Ger
many. The duchess is admitted to be
a pure, modest and decorous young
girl, and the crown prince, to all ac-
counts, is a manly and reasonably
moral young man-for a prince. The
trouble does not lie there. It is all
about the brides trousseau. The
Duchess #Anastasia, the brides moth
er, being lady of taste and wishing
her not too beautiful daughter to ap-
pear at her best, ordered the trousseau
from Paris. German dressmakers
have raised a great ado about it. until
the matter has assumed the proper
lions of a public scandal. The Ger
mans are making a greater fuss about
it than the ra-protectionists did
over the decision of President Roose-
Welt and Secretary Taft to buy Pana-
ma canal supplies in the worlds best
market.-Hutchinson News.
