European Princesses.

Following the Comparatively numer-
Gus royal marriages Of the last few
months. the announcement of the en-
gagement Of Princess Maria Immacu-
lata of Bourbon-Sicily to Prince John
George of Saxony reveals a veritable
corner in the European royal mar
riage mart-still further restricted
when it is understood what almost
prohibitOry obstacles a difference of
religion places in the way of what
otherwise might be admirable
matches.
English princesses in contracting
Roman Catholic marriages must re-
nounce all claim to the British throne.
Only two princesses have done so
since the Reformation = Princess
Marie, daughter of the late duke Of
Edinburgh, who married Prince Ferdi-
nand of Roumania, and Princess Ena
of Battenberg. who was recently we'd
ded to Alfonso XIII. of Spain. Prin-
cesses of the House of Hohenzollern
may not wed Roman Catholics, nor
may those of Hapsburg ally them
selves with Protestants
The number, too, OF marriageable
royal princesses has grown distinctly
less since the marriage of the German
kaiser's two sons-Prince Frederick
William to Princess Cecilie. and
Prince Eitel to Princess Sophie
Princess Margaret of Connaught's
marriage to Gustavus Adolphus of
Sweden. the marriage OF the Infanta
Maria Teresa Of Spain to Prince Fer
dinand Of Bavaria. and the king of
SPANS marriage to Princess Ena, be-

OF the four princesses Of the first
'ank now awaiting suitors three are
English; the fourth is Princess Glenn
entine OF Belgium, who was born in
1872. First, of course, comes the
youngest daughter of King Edward
VII, Princess Victoria, who has lust

Il will only make matters worse by
constantly pinching in and cutting of
any portion of the material in one
place: it must be taken in by gentler
methods. Slope II away gradually
down the seam or work the material
out in two or three places-never take
the material out abruptly in one spot.
In children's Clothes.
In making the sleeves in children's
dresses. make them quite full and long
enough to turn hem and gather at
the wrist. Then when the sleeves are
too short, rip out the hem and gather
into a cuff. Have a few tucks in the
bottom of dresses. They improve the
looks Of garment and when 1t needs
