What the Market Affords

Goals, charcoal or coke is better than
coal as there is less flame, therefore
less danger of smoking the meat; a
shovelful of either of the latter may

: ROYAL HONEYMOON.

La Granja, where King Alfonso and
his bride will spend their honeymoon,
is situated about forty miles from Mad
rid, in a sheltered recess Of the noun
tains in the midst Of pine forests, 1000
feet above the level of the sea. 1t is
an exquisitely beautiful place, which
owes it's creation to King Philip V. and
has frequently been described as the
Versailles Of Spain. It's. gardens have
much in common with those of Ver-
sailles, save for the fact that the ter
races are the result Of nature instead Of
artifce, while the fountains are even
finer than the celebrated ones at Yer
sailles. It WasSat La Granja that Philip
v. abdicated in 1924 in favor Of his
son, at whose, death in the same year,
he resumed the crown It was there,
too, that the Infamous Godoy, the
prince of peace and execrated favorite
of King Charles ~. signed as premier,
the treaty Of 1896, which surrendered
Spain to republican France.

COURT TRAINS FOR RENT.

London now has an ingenious mer-
chant who purchases, hires and sells
the gowns and trains that etiquette re-
quires must be worn at the gorgeous
court functions. These articles are ex-
pensive and after the proud mother
and her daughter have been presented
to the king and queen the garments
are of no further service. Usually the
debutante after being received at the
palace goes to friend g house to tea
in her honor. After this party she has
no more use for her gown. Many wom-
en- are glad to dispose of the gown and
the train at one-half or one-third of its
cost. The merchant buys the garments
and makes a slight alteration. He finds
ready purchasers at reduced rates
among society women in straitened cir
cumstances, who have been invited to
court. Many women rent the trains for
the day. For few guineas woman
can hire a gown and train that would
cost several hundred pounds. After
the trains have been worn a few times
the merchant makes elaborate altera-
tions. In the rooms where court trains
and gowns are resold or hired out the

QUEEN TO ENTER CONVENT,

It is said that after the marriage of
King Alfonso his mother intends enter
ing a convent. AS her majesty is be-
lieved to have promised her deceased
daughter, the princess Of the Asturias,
to take care of her little motherless
children, it seems likely that rumor is
mistaken; but supposing rumor to be
right, she will be the second queen to
become nun within recent years. The
,ex-queen of Portugal, formerly Princess
Adelaide of LowensteinW ertheim-Ro-
senberg, who has been widow for
nearly forty years, became a Benedic-
tine nun at Solesmes, France, in 1897.
The community Of which she is mem
Der, on the expulsion Of the religious
orders from France, became the tenants
of Northwood, Granville Wards place
in the Isle Of Wight. Since she has
been in England the royal nun has re-
ceived visits from King Edward and
various members Of the royal family.

THROWING THE WEDDING SHOE


How old is the custom Of throwing
the wedding shoe9 In the Housekeeper
for June, it is stated that the custom
of throwing one or more old shoes after
the. bride and bridegroom as they start
on their wedding journey is 50 old that
the memorys5of man stretches not back
to the time of its beginning. Some
writer's have surmised that it is. lin
gering trace of the custom among saw
age nations Of carrying away the bride
by violence, but the more probable con
lecture is that it is relic Of the an
.cient law Of purchase, implying for.
merly the surrender by the parents Of
all authority over their daughter. It
certainly has a likeness to an old Jew
ish custom mentioned in the Bible, in
the book of Ruth. y There, when tho
kinsman Of Boaz gave up his claim to
the inheritance of Ruth, and to Ruth,
also, he indicated his concession by

it will be becoming and the most be-

it for wear this summer. I have light

The tiny check in royal blue and

developing the pretty soft silk will be
in the princesse model. I should make
the trimmings black chantilly lace over
white, commencing with Swiss belt
Of the lace lined with white silk. It
will be outlined with bias strapping
Of the silk. TO this will be added a
full skirt, gathered at the top, and
tucked in groups divided by bands of
chantilly. Cut away the material I'M
derneath and back with white mousse

answer, and wear over white slip.
Have yoke on the waist of the lace,
the top Of the bodice being brought
into band of the silk, strapped on

WE WALK INCORRECTLY.

Walking is an everyday act; and it
would seem that, if practice made per-
feet, most people would walk correctly.
AS matter Of fact, however, correct
walk is very unusual. Handsome faces
are rare; good figures are much more
rare, But as to correct gait and car
riage-out Of 500 people, it is safe to
say that we shall find thirty or forty
handsome faces and perhaps a dozen
fine figures. But rarely out of that
number shall we find more than one or
two who walk properly.
