QUEEN OF sPAIN's CHINA

The. young queen Of Spain, when she
comes to look over her household goods
and chattels in her new homes, will be
sure of one thing, and that is of find
ing her china closets well stocked. The
gifts of the king of England and the
president of the French republic to her
royal bridegroom have both, as it hap,
pens, taken the same form-that Of a
present of valuable porcelain.
King Edward IS choice, a dessert and
coffee service of the finest modern Eng.
lish manufacture, copied from some ex.
quisite old Chelsea, has, of course, high
artistic merit as well as pecuniary
value; while the presidents gift, com
ing as it does from the world-famous
workshops Of Sevres is worthy boil
of donor and of recipient.

A DEMOCRATIC QUEEN

The queen Of Italy refuses to use
her exalted station and large income
for the purpose of mere dressing and
display. In proportion to their stations,
Victor Emmanuel III and his wife live
as simply as peasant of the kingdom.
The queen IS democratic manners form
a strange contrast to the etiquet which
still surrounds her mother-in- law,
Queen Margherita, while the king him
self, when he appears in public, usually
does so with lack Of ostentation.
Queen Helena learned the severe les
son Of economy at the frugal court of
her father, Nicholas Of Montenegro,
while the king has had too many shock
ing examples Of prodigality left him
by his father and grandfather ever to
feel inclined to follow in their foot.

FROM ELIZABETH LEE
For a Fall Suit.

VI d GIL SuAps
Dear Miss Lee: Kindly suggest
stylish model for a street suit to be
made of gray worsted suiting that will
come in for fall wear. 1 am feet
inches tall, 3S bust, 26 waist, and AZ
hip measure. 1 wish something smart,
but above all becoming. -Matron.
Taking the skirt first, you may chose
either a circular or seven gored, ac-
cording to the stability of your ma
terial. and trim it with three bias
bands Of the material piped with black
satin, pointed on the ends and held
down to the front width with black
satin buttons. The coat, half or three
quarter length, made tight fitting, both
back and front, by means OF seams
from the shoulders. Between these
seams the coat will be cut off an inch
or more below the waist line, and added
basques will complete the length OF
the coat over the hips. Have a mans
collar and small revers, edged with
band of black satin and close double
breasted with black satin buttons.
A white linen collar and pretty Tie
should be worn to give the necessary
dash to the sober color OF the suit, ana
the coat sleeves will end in turn back
cuffs, open on the outer seam, ana
trimmed with band Of the black satin.
This will be stylish, uncommon-iook-
ING suit, and absolutely becoming to
your well proportional figure.
