EMPIRE GowN AT THE DANCE

From the ballroom comes the COM
plant that if the young man has a diff
ficulty in finding his partners waist
in these days of empire gowns, he does
not always know how to hold it when
he has found it.
A London debutante %lamenting that
the way she was held either forced
her to poke her chin most unbecoming-
ly, or, still more unbecomingly. in an
other sense, to rest it on her partners
shoulder, asked her chaperon whether
it was not possible to ask him to hold
her differently. Her chaperon referred
the difficult point of etiquette to other
chaperons; there was much consulta-
ton, and finally the decision arrived
at was that it was quite impossible
to mention such a thing-not so much
from the point of view Of propriety as
because nothing made a man so furi-
Gus as to suggest that he did not know
how to hold his partner"
That d%ebutante, still suffering, still
unable to dance her best, would like
to know if there is no way out Of the
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Record.

While the two elder sons of Prince
Waldemar were out walking near Co.
penhagen recently, night came on be-
fore they could return home, and find
ing the roads very heavy, they kept d
lookout for a conveyance. The only
vehicle that passed them was a coal
cart, and into this the two young
princes climbed. On arriving at the
outskirts of the town the driver re-
fused to take them any further, and
demanded payment. The princes ex-
planned that they had no money with
them, and told the man who they were,
bidding him take them to the palace.
He refused to believe their story, how
ever, until a policeman arrived and
recognizing Inc princes, lent them some
money so that they could return to the
palace in a tramway caI.-London

Passing of "Yours Truly"

In commercial correspondence the
tendency nowaday is to eliminate the
conventional declaration of yours
truly and like. expression preceding
the writer's signature. The inclina-
ton toward doing away with "Mr."
in addressing envelopes in mercantile
communications is also gaining adhe-
rents. In many instances the yours
truly" habit has necessarily been only
empty form, as is the case in letters
passing between strangers.
Advocates of this reform cite the
fact that in the sending of kilograms
both the points quoted are sconspicu-
ously absent, and nobody attributes
lack of courtesy or violation of pro-
priety in the premises.-New York
Press.

"Our baby had that dreadful complaint,
Infantile Eczema, which afflicted him for
several months, commencing at the top OF
his head, and at last covering his whole
body. His sufferings were untold and con-
slant misery, in fact, there was nothing
we would not have done to have given ain
relief. We finally procured a full set OF
the Cdticura Remedies, and in about three
or four days he began to show a brighter
spirit and really laughed, for the first time
in a year. In about ninety days he was
fully recovered. Praise for the Cuticura
Remedies has always been our greatest
pleasure, and there is nothing too good
that we could say in their favor, for they

WILHELMINA WHEN A CHILD.

An amusing story is told of Queen
Wilhelmina when she was quite a little
child. Her Majesty was not allowed
10 share dinner with the elder mem
bers of the royal household, but was
permitted to make her appearance at
dessert and place herself beside some
particular favorite. One day she sat
by a courtly old General, and after
eating some fruit the little girl turned
and gazed at him. Presently she ex-
claimed:
IT wonder you're not afraid to sit
next to me-"
Everybody in the room turned at the
sound of her childish treble.
"On the contrary, / am but too
pleased and honored to sit next to my
little Queen" replied the old General.
S'But why should / be afraid?"
Assuming a woebegone expression,
Ehe little Queen replied:
Because all my dolls have the
measles; they're all down with it"

BRIDES IN GLOWING RAIMENT.


It is of interest to note that the
choice of white for wedding gowns is
comparatively of modern origin. The
Roman brides wore yellow, and in
most Eastern countries pink is the
bridal color. During the Middle Ages
and in the Renaissance period brides
wore crimson to the exclusion of all
other colors. Most of the Plantaganet
and Tudor queens were married in that
vivid hue, which is still popular IN
parts of Brittany, where the bride is
usually dressed in crimson brocade.
It was Mary Stuartwho first changed
the color of the bridal garments. AT
