afternoon wear, too. It is made of Old
rose cashmere, of very fine quality, the
trimming is velvet of darker shade
and some ivory-tinted lace. A sheer
chemisette is lined whit chiffon, which
does not detract from the airinezg and
gives body to the deep yoke. In the
hair may be worn twist and knot OF
old-rose velvet, ornaments in the Golf
fure being now the proper thing.
Wells are to play thsir part in dress
the present season, AMI there is needed
a word about what not to get. Large
dots lavishly sprinkled over the face
are seldom becoming, but two or three
big dots are good, just mere beauty
patches. A very Frenchy veil is a
brown cobwebby net worn over a pale
blue tulie and two or three black vel
vet dots on the outer veil, just enough
to enhance the complexion, but not so
many as to give leopard appearance.
And. by the way, we would mention
that the touch OF black is the thing on
costumes generally, and that brown is
in highest fashion for wells, robes,
laces for the coats, ETC. A new color
goes by the name of automobile; a
witty woman describes it as a shade of
rusty iron with strong dash of hello
trope in it.
We are glad 10 chronicle there is a
tendency to fasten dress skirts at one
side of the back, not directly in the
middle. The unfastened placket has
been as much of worry as the hiatus
between skirt and waist, and needed
solution by an expert. With the fast
eners a little to the side there is not
SC much strain and less liability to
open at an inopportune moment

very windy weather, not to be depend

fits in a silver catch sewed on either
side the hat, and is simply pushed
through this and into the hair.
With the present millinery styles the

better than stiff crinkling, and one

A notable morganatic marriage or

was the morganatic union entered into

Whilst enjoying a season Of quiet and

mdy OF his own social position. AS,
however, children of neither marriage
would have hereditary rights In the
fathers Office, it seems idle to attempt
a comparison-we make it simply to
accentuate that the morganattc union
of the ruler of Christian nation pre-
sents itself to our minds as OF
HtrangeneSs.
Abroad these unions cannot be said
to be common; they are entered into
not of volition but at the merciless i'm
pulse of tyrannous Cupid. Recently
we were led to glance over this page or
royal history, and In reading OF the
manner in which royal lover and hum
BILE mate fell into the relation that in
SO many cases resulted in heartbreak
for at least one OF the pair, the stories
were reminiscent of the sentimental
novels of an elder day
"Why did she love him? Curious

Is human love the growth of human
will?"
Morganatic unions were in the past
common among German royalties;

equal born; Russian grand dukes have
almost kept pace with archdukes; the
royal house of Bavaria has also suf-

probably not use this word; and staid
England has had to allow the morgan
attic marriage. We expect the roman
tic, the adventurous of the dashing
Hapsburg, the artistic" temperament
ed Bavarians-but one would hardly
look to an English prince for the grand
passion-love and the world well lost.

Cattle Cnarmers.

Curious tales are told of the Nasal,
one of the most warlike of the native
African tribes. They have been attack
ing the natives in the German protec-
torate with great daring, driving off
great herds of cattle with singular ease.
Half the attacking force will sweep
down on peaceful village, engaging in
a bloody fight with the inhabitants,
while the other half will drive away the
herds. The Nasal have a wonderful
knack in the management of cattle. A
German writer says that single Nasal
is often able to coax behind him a whole
herd of cattle by lightly whistling and
tapping with his spear against his huge
shield
