that throne, whose occupant he has So long been"
 . The story of the romance and trag- edies in the life of the emperor has been oft told; and we need not dwell on them here. We have heard that the young man was sent wooing to the court of Duke Maximilian of Ba- varia, that he there fell in love at first sight with the beautiful Eliza beth, sister of the lady whom it was directed he should fall in love with. Very pleasant are the tales of the couftship; very sad the stories of the transplanting of the frank. outspoken, sincere young girl to the Vienna court circles, with their strict etiquette and anything but strict morality. Very sad the story of the empress unhap- piness, of her arrangement from her husband, her years of separation, the wanderings of the proud, lonely, very unhappy woman. A reconcilia: ton was finally brought about. A storm-stressed life, violent death was the fate of Empress Elizabeth. At Geneva, Switzerland, she was struck down by the hand of an assassin. and died from the wound September 10. 1898. In January. 1899, the only SOD died a violent death.
 Sympathy for the monarch in his great af1ictions has stayed discord in the many nations under his scepter. But the affection for the emperor ante, dates his years of sorrow. Although autocratic, Franz Joseph has shown himself naturally simple and kindly. brave and able; and the people have personal acquaintance with him.
 "He Is the only European sovereign who grants private audience to high and humble alike. The simplest peas- ant may approach him. though sppli' cation to do so must be made some time in advance and through official channels.

vorite device of the stage debutante has been the circulation of stories, more or less fictitious, as to her social prominence in the community whence she sprung. in obedience to the de- mands of the stage for her exception al talents. The people of these com munities are generally the most sur prised of all to learn of the debu- tante's social prominence. But Miss Bailey has no need to resort to such methods. Her social distinction is genuine. She bears the name of Con suelo. the dowager Duchess of Man chester. for whom Consuelo Wander bilt. the young Duchess of Marlbor- ough. was also named.

In the house of representatives and an
