THEN SHE LOOKED FOOLISH

Laugh on Her.

When Mr.. Keedick reached home one
evening he was confronted by a very
angry wife, relates a Chicago paper.
He had scarcely got inside the door and
hung his hat on the hall-rack before
she blurted out:
you've got new typist!'
why, yes" replied Keedick. How
did you find it out?"
"Oh, am up to your goings-on, can
tell you. You got your new typist yes
terday.'
Il did. Who told you?"
We'll, ii you must know, it was Mrs.

being pretty girls had little difficulty
in becoming employed. Indeed, they
were causing quite a sensation in the
town, when-along came the p!ince.

strange fancy seized the prince
He decided that without course in
millinery his education would never be
complete.
In vain Hahon, the private secretary
of the prince, made protests. His i'm
perial highness, however, had lost all
interest in rhetoric and composition:
he simply wanted to know the relative
value of raffia straw as compared with
the chip or leghorn, and to have on his
finger tips the alpha and omega of
chiffon garnlture, paper roses. tulle
and watered silk.
One day a diamond ring appeared
on the finger of Miss Bull. Soon af-
terWard she began to wear a jeweled
locket There were flowers galore and
candy and little theater parties in her
honor.
After time Miss Bull returned to
her home in Cincinnati. The prince
summoned his retinue
Prepare for my departure at once:
I am going to Cincinn IT," he said.
So it happened that rot many hours

ambassador of love, "desires to know
if you will do him the goodness of ac-
cording him the supreme pleasure of

Miss Bull laughed. YES" she said.
"but why didn't he come himself?"
Half an hour later he was there.
Even princes sometimes grow weari

cided that she did not care to become
the bride of Korean, even with a
throne tossed in as a possibility, and
SO the wooing of the ardent oriental
came to naught.

SOME SMART SHIRT. WAISTS
Particularly Pretty Materials Are
in Evidence in the Seasons -
Creations.

Very quaint and pretty shirt waists
are made in surplice form, the ma
terial being figured challie. This soft
pretty stuff can be bought for few
cents q yard and it certainly makes up
very charmingly. 1t can be made in
the conventional shirt waist, tucked
across the shoulders and yoke and
bloused all around the waist line, says
the Brooklyn Eagle.
The embroidered and dotted challie
is particularly pretty for this purpose
and the most durable and beautiful shirts
are fashioned of it. Of course, there
must be few bands of contrasting ma
terial, or there must be pipings' OF tafeta
or tiny line of black outlining the tucks
or delicately suggesting the yoke. All
waists have this tiny bit of trimming
and all are finished with stock and girdle
to correspond.
Women with double chins who are
trying to look youthful are taking to the
high white linen collar which they are
embroidering in colors. One lovely high
white linen collar. built precisely like a
mans collar, was made of the finest lin
en- exquisitely laundered and polished.
Running around it was an embroidered
vine in pink and blue with little ten
drills of green, the daintiest thing. And
this was designed to be worn with fan
aelette shirt waist of fawn color, trimmed
with very narrow green pipings.
The plaid shirt waists are charming,
having certain novelty all their own.
They come in all the gay plaids and each
is little different from the other so one
is in no danger of repeating. Happily
the plaids can be selected with green
tendencies, or with red, or with brown
and with black, so that color scheme
can be preserved.

It's on account of the moral support I

LOVE AFFAIRS OF
A KOREAN PRINCE
HE WANTS TO MARRY A PRETTY
AMERICAN GIRL.
TROUBLE FOR HIS GUARDIAN
Has Learned American Ways Of Love.
Making and Seems to Have
Been Successful at the
Game

Philadelphia.-Prince Penkeel Eui-
wah zee is the second son of the en-
peror of Korea. His brother, the crown
prince, however, is not so strong, so
it is believed that some day Penkeel
will ascend the throne.
1t was for the purpose of giving the
younger prince an occidental education
Ca That was three years ago. At
that time Penkeel was % years old.
Like nearly all Koreans, he is small of
stature, although bright and quick to
learn.
Indeed, if anything, Prince Penkeel
learns too rapidly, as has been demon
strated by his adventures in America.
Upon his arrival the prince first made
his home at the Korean legation at
Washington. After that he started
upon a tour Of the United States.
Greatly to the surprise, not to say
chagrin, of the Korean minister, Min
hui Cho, scarcely had this tour begun
before an action at law to recover a
debt Of ego, 900, alleged to have been
incurred by the prince, was begun. The
plaintiffs were firm of Philadelphia
bankers
The next heard of Prince Penkeel he
had been shipped to the little college
town Of Delaware, o., and started in a
school where poker chips and roulette
wheels are supposed to be unknown.
Now both young women and young
men attend the college in Delaware.
Prince Penkeel had never heard of
such thing before. Indeed, in Wash
ington he had met very few girls at
all. He was entranced.
Credit of the first real dent in the
heart of Prince Penkeel, however,
must go to Miss Clara Bull, a little
beauty of Cincinnati
Not unlike the young men of Ameri-
ca and other occidental lands, it was
early in the springtime that Penkeel'a
romantic fancy lightly turned to
thoughts of love.
1t so happened in April, 1903, that
the largest millinery shop in Delaware
needed two pretty girls to show off the

formed into thing of speed and spirit,
Dashing down toward Manhattan ave-
nue. the horse made his drivers eyes
stare with establishment by his swift
ness.
A policeman turned in an alarm and
fire engine was in pursuit when the
horse reached Manhattan avenue, from
which to Columbus avenue there is a
steep climb. The pursuing engine was
useless, but two other engines, their
crews taking in the situation, stopped
at Columbus avenue and outf1anked the
horse. They had stream going when
he reached them and shot it straight at
the animal, carrying him off his feet.
Then they put out the fire. James

Moreover, the strings Of his purse
were always open. Indeed, SO great did
the attractions of Delaware-O., be-
come that the royal father of Penkeel,
busy as he was with troubles Of his
own at home, decided that he had bet
ter leave, and so it came about that
the prince moved to small college
town near Roanoke, Va, where for
some months he pursued his studies
under the watchful eye of a private
tutor. The Korean minister in Wash
ingtor-quasiguardi of the prince
breathed somewhat easier at that. His
respite, however, was not long. Other
troub' es came with the vacation sea-
son.

in the mountains of western Mary
land. Surely, it was thought, no harm
could come Of the prince going there.
So 60 he did, attenued only by the
faithful Hohan, his private secretary.
a wealthy merchant of Columbus, o.
She is only II years old, but tall and
slender, with dark blue eyes and light
brown hair. She and her mother were
also at Mountain Lake Park, and the
second day after his arrival Prince
Penkeel saw her in the dining room
at the hotel.
"Who is she?" the royal heir de-
manded of the private secretary. AS

much against his will, was obliged to
obey. He duly reported.
ARRANGE an introduction" the
prince instructed.
The private secretary to the prince,
Hahon, is nothing if not diplomat,
and in a short time Penkeel Euiwah
was making his bow to the charming
Miss ButtleS in the office of the hotel.
If Miss Buttles is young and viva
cious her head was not turned by hav-
ing real, live prince, and the proba-
BILE heir to throne, at that, at her
beck and call. She didn't even seem
him hop around just as she would an
American young man.
In Korea the members of the ar1s-
tocracy seldom, if ever, walk. They
are carried in chairs everywhere they
60. Thus it happened that Prince Pen
keel was not pedestrian OF great
note.
Now, Miss Buttles is not only Pc
destrian, but a scaler of mountain
peaks as we'll. So when the prince
began to dance attendance she told
him that if he expected to pass any
time with her he had better learn to
climb.
But I hate walking,' he explained.
"All right, then; stay at the hotel"
she replied, and away she went.
Prince Penkeel, greatly fascinated,
plodded after her.
So, day after day, this scion of roy
atty trudged with the breezy Ohio
maiden over the Maryland mountains,
footsore, but happy.
Throughout their stay at Mountain
Park Lake Prince Penkeel was most de-
voted, and just before Miss Buttles re-
turned to Columbus he gave an elab-
crate dinner in her honor. Now he is
to visit Columbus and be entertained
by the Buttles family.
At that time, it is expected, formal
announcement Of an engagement will
be made.

Kills Germs of Catarrh.
HyOmei Goes to the ROBOT of the Disease
and Makes Astonishing Cures.

Catarrh can not be cured by
the use OF pills, liquid medicines
and so called system tonics.
Under such treatment the germs
of the disease will still live in
the air passages and jncrerse
and multiply.
Hyomei is the only scientific
and thorough way to cure Ca
ra1rh. Killing the germs in the
air passages, it enters the blood
with the oxygen, destroys the
microbes in the blood and eff.
fectually drives from the system
all traces of catarrhal poison.
Thousands of testimonials
have been given as to the as
tonishing cures made by this
remedy.
Mrs. LIE Rendu, rs Western
Avenue, Cleveland Ohio, writes:
Il believe Hyomei saved my
life. I am better now than 1
have been in thirty years. Many
doctors, both in England and
France, treated me for catarrh,
but was not cured until 1 used
Hyomei.
Probably the strongest evil
denCe that can be offered as to
the powers of Hyomei to cure
catarrh is the fact that Wood
Brothers will agree to refund
the money if you say Hyomei
has not cured you.
The complete Hyomei outfit
costs but $1.00, consisting of an
inhaler, dropper and sufficient
Hyomei to last several weeks.
This will effect cure in ordi-
nary cases. but for chronic and
deep seated cases of catarrn,
longer use may be necessary,
and then extra bottles of Ayom.
