her father was OF German origin. She
is one of the favorites of the British
king, and the beauty, or one of the
beauties, of the British royal family.
1t was known that Alfonso. smitten
with the charms of Ena, made desper-
ate love and carried on correspond
ence with her through the Princess
Victoria, her aunt.
And when it was announced that
Alfonso was to visit England every
body said it was all fixed. But while
in England Alfonso saw the Princess
Victoria Patricia Helena Elizabeth OF
Connaught, niece of King Edward and
cousin of Ena. Her father is Prince
Arthur William Patrick of Connaught
and Strahern.
So the rivalry for Alfonso settled
down between Ena and Patsy" the
two beauties among the English prin-
cesses. Perhaps with Alfonso it was a
case of Were t'other dear charmer
away" At any rate, one week say ru-
NOR announcing his engagement to
Ena, the next to Patricia, and all the
kings, and queens, and dukes, and
everybody in that set declared he was
a fiirt and waited expectantly to see
which he would choose.
And then--just the other day, some
one asked Alfonso if he was going to
get married soon and he said, in Span
ish. of course: "Who? Me? Who to-"
But if the young king was then in
doubt he has now been completely
captured He: is wooing his bride7to-
be with all the ardor Of his royal
makeup, and from all indications an
English princess will soon share the
throne of Spain with young Alfonso.

stock of furbelows is the negligee

THE PERSISTENT 0YPslES.
They May Be Driyen Out of Coun-
ty, But They Are Sure
to Return.

"Such as wake on the night and sleep
on the day, and haunt taverns and ale'
houses, and no man wot from whencs
they como nor whittier they CO." So
quantity describes an old English stat
ute against the gypsies. Ever since the
year 1880, says writer in the London
Standard. Great Britain has tried to get
rid of this strange people without ap-
preciable success. Every year or so
some county is up in arms against them;
yet they persist in returning, and appar-
emily thrive under persecution.
The gypsies are popularity supposed to
come originally from Egypt, as their
name indicates, but their origin is traced
farther east than the land of the Nile.
Wherever they come from, they are a
separate people, tribe quite by them
selves.
They appeared in England about 1905,
and 26 years later Henry VIII. ordered
them to leave the country in 16 days,
taking all their goods with them. An
outlandish people" he called them. The
act was Intellectual, and In 1862 Eliza v
beth framed still more stringent law,
and many were hanged.
"But what numbers were executed"
says one old writer, ''yet notwithstand-
ing, all would not prevaile, but they
wandered as before, uppe and downe. .
They got into Scotland and became an
intolerable nuisance. Both in that
country and in England legislation
proved quite Intellectual The acts grad
ually fell into desuetude. Under George
". all that was left of the ban against
the gypsies was the mild law that any
person telling fortunes shall be deemed
a rogue and a vagabond."
"Gypsies are no longer prescribed
class" says recent writer. Probably
the modern gypsy does little evil beyond
begging and petty theft, but his deter
mination not to work is as strong as
ever, and it seems curious that an indus
trial people like ours continues to toler-
ate horde of professional idlers." How
numerous the horde is may be gathered
from the fact that the number who win
tered in Surrey one year was estimated
at 10000.
The language as well as the life of the
gypsy tribe has a tenacity of it's own.
Many of their words have taken firm
hold in a half-slang, half-permissible
way. Shaver is the gypsy word for child.
Pal is pure gypsy. COdger means man.
Cutting up is gypsy for quarreling, and
cove stands for chat fellow"

The young mans friend listened
with respectful attention, and watched
with some curiosity the movements oil
the suspected man. To their surprise
he took advantage of lull in the pro.
ceedings to approach them.
Excuse me-" he said courteously, to
the detective, "but your diamond scarf

Fashion Notes and Run1ors

country is treated to goodly showers
and a rain coat is almost an essential:
then it comes in very handy to take
along on summer travels and summer
outings.
Among the most attractive materials
now on display are the rough weaves
in silks. They come both plain and
figured, and make up nicely for suits
for separate skirts and for waists. We
feel tempted to make use with refer
ence to them of the much-abused
word artistic" For spring nothing
could be more charming than a silver
gray in the rough or Semi-rough
weave. Some of the grays show a fine
hair-line of black, the line so fine that
at a distance the goods appear but the
one color. Japanese silks make UP
very nicely for the styles now in
vogue, and these are inexpensive as
well as pretty. Wash-silk waists are
highly recommended for spring and
summer wear. Japanese and China
silks are coming into common use as
foundations and Innings, clinging eff
fects now so well liked.
Little loose coats of bengaline silk
deliberately trimmed with braid, prom
Use to be the height of fashion; and
such wrap as this is really most con-
venient for warm weather wear. In
spite of predictions to the contrary
the dressy spring coat will as a rule
have short sleeves and probably be
collarless. Linen embroideries on
coats of wool or silk will be a feature,
and very charming feature, of spring
fashions; the ground of these trim
mings cream colored or ecru, the en-
broidery in soft, rich colors. And with
reference to the black silk coats, one
may use almost any style of silk, re-
model very acceptably from old ma
terial in the house-so many different
black silks now in use, all the way
from crisp taffeta to soft peau de
sole.
Wedgewood blue-certainly an ex-
quisite shade-promises to supplant
other blues as the very best style.
Soft lilac tones are in favor, in spite
of the way in which they were made
SO common the past winter. The old
rose shades continue in fashion, and
delicately-toned backgrounds for hair
lines will appear with the first pleas
ant days of the spring. Soft, indis-
tinct plaids will be worn, these so
much more attractive than startling
contrasts

Marriage in France.

Nine. Belloc-Lowndes says that the
average Frenchman has totally dit-
ferent idea from the average bach
elor as to what should lead to mar
riage. He knows, or believes he
knows, that the violent attraction dig
nified in that country by the name of
"love" is often a very passing feeling,
and therefore he looks for more last
ing qualities-above all for suitability
of age, good temper, health and many
other minor qualifications which
there play scarcely any part in de-
termining the preliminaries to mar
riage. He expects that the woman
chosen by him will be able to bear
her part of their future household ex-
penses, but it may be. truly said that
the average sensible Frenchman
would far rather have small dowry
with a pretty, thrifty wife, than
very large fortune with a plain, ex-
travagant damsel.

Tiaras Made Over.

It may be realized by purchasers of
diamond tiaras and the like that styles
in settings change almost as frequently
as in a woman's hat, and every other
year at least must see the precious dia-
dem rebuilt. This adds to original cost,
for no self-respecting jeweler changes
the setting of costly piece of jewelry
without adding few new stones to the
first amount, thereby increasing it's
value. Of course; famous crowns, with
associations attached, that have re-

AS everyone that watches the styles
is aware, there is no greater difference
between city woman and country wo-
man than the form. OF course this
difference is brought about by dress,
the cut of the garments and the dis
position of the trimming. And to-
day the city woman takes careful note
of the waist-line. For some years back
we have had the dip-belt craze. Of
late the Empire style has gained
ground. The happy mean between
these two extremes is the all-round
belt at the normal waist line, no dip
down, no short-waisted encircling;
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1906-02-23

effects by no means be out of style.

Alphonso Kill, king of Spain, has
at last fallen a victim to Cupid's darts.
After a wildly fiirtatious career that
was extended throughout the royal
courts of Europe, the young sovereign
has succumbed to the charms of
of Princess Beatrice, youngest daugh-
ter of King Edward of England, and
arrangements for the celebration of
the marriage are in progress.
The wedding is a grand affair, and
is to take place in the near future,
that is, if the love of the young Span
ish ruler does not wane in the mean
