ranged and Maria was taken to Ma
drid, where, it was expected, formal
announcement of an engagement
would be made, but it wasn't. Alton
SO, in plain American, Tilted his cou-
sin.
Of course, there are a lot of other
things that kings like Alfonso have to
take into consideration, and one is
the desire of all his subjects to help
him get married. Almost everyone in
Spain wanted him to marry the Prin-
cess Louise of Orleans, daughter Of the
late Comte de Paris. This princess Is
a beauty and the most popular OF all
princesses with the people Of Spain.
Perhaps, II the king had been permit
ed to make love for himself without
anyone interfering, the princess would
now be queen Of Spain. At any rate,
the French and the Spanish Ill hoped,
and maybe the princess did, too, but it
was not to be. The king simply
passed her up" and 1t is said that
her sister, the queen Of Portugal, suf-
fered more from disappointment than
did the princess.
Right then he started a Irritation
with another royal girl, the Grand
Duchess Helena, the dark-haired,
black-eyed, beautiful daughter of the
Grand Duke Vladimir of Russia.
King Meets His Match.
Now it is said in st. Petersburg, III

time and cause him to change his
mind, or if his royal mother does not
change it for him.
Such an outcome of the present en-
gagement would not be at all surpris-
ing, considering Alphonso's past rec
ord. From the year he entered his
teens, and he is now almost 20 years
Of age, he has at n time or another
made love or flirted with nearly all
the royal girls of manageable age
in Europe. Princesses, duchesses and
archduchesses have attracted his
fancy, and he has been the despair Of
matchmaking mammas and states
men. @
THE champion royal h~eart-breaker
Of Europe" is the title that has been
bestowed upon him as a result of his
flirting escapades, and royalty will
breathe a sigh Of relief If Princess Ena
finally becomes his bride.
The way that Bourbon BOY is carry
ing on with the girls is something
shameful. No n knows how often
he has laid himself open to suits for
breach Of promise, but he certainly
has led a lot Of them to think that
they we're going to be asked to be
Mrs. Alfonso, and then SHE'D off in
some other direction.

cure the catarrh but reduce the swell.
ing of the nose and the size of the nos
tril. AS soon as the nasal passages are
cleared and the nose is in a healthy
condition the patient will stop breath
ing through the mouth. Then by OIL
tracing the nostrils through artificial
means the size of the nostril will be
further reduced. Whenever she is
alone let her draw the breath sharply,
contracting the nostIils as she does so,
holding them in this position as long
as possible before expelling the breath
very gently through the nostrils.
If you have not patience for this ex-
%ercise, done persistently and patiently,
buy a small instrument which looks
very much like a clothespin and fasten
this on either side of the nostrils when
you retire. 1t is not uncomfortable
and can be bought at any first-class
surgical-instrument shop. There is
nothing which coarsens a woman's face
more than large, spreading nostrils.
An evil which follows closely on the
train of breathing through the mouth
is the dropping lines around the
mouth, a sagging, aged expression and
a double chin. When these defects ap-
pear strenuous measures are needed,
Buy a chin strap at any house dealing
in surgical instruments, or tie up your
chin, as you would for toothache, with
a soft silk handkerchief. This viii
force you to breathe through the nose

A DELICATE FRAGRANCE.
Get Good Perfume and Sprinkle Gen.
erously Every Article of Clothing
as It Comes from Laundry.

A beautiful woman is all the more
beautiful when a delicate fragrance ac-
companies her wherever she goes. 1t is
not an easy matter to attain the per-
lection of this art, for art it may be
termed; the ''art of using perfume 50
that every article of her wardrobe IS
permeated, yet not with the heavy,
cloying odor of cheap scent.
To begin with, a oma should make
up her mind that she cannot hope for
success with this, any more than in
erasing lines, removing superfluoIs
hair, bleaching her skin, reducing ner
weight, or, in fact, adding to and en-
HANGING her beauty in any way with
out a great deal of care and thought
and considerable expense.
1t is true, the judicious purchase Of
proper ingredients reduces the latter
10 the minimum, but French perfumes
which are always the strongest, aad
therefore the cheapest in the end, cost
quite a sum to begin with.
A bottle or two ounces will cost a.
many or more dollars, according c
quality, triple extracts being, of course
the highest priced. To use this, every
article of the clothing should have ;
spray of it when fresh from the l2uc
dry; handkerchiefs. underwear, ne2h
pieces, laces, dresses-all should h'
sprinkled generously and then laid be
tween sachets of perfumed cotton,
After this has been attended to itl
some time, each and every piece will b.
found to retain the delicate Fragrance
ever after freshly Numbered; the ma
terial itself is saturated and the odo
cannot be removed. Then bat little o
the sprinkling is needed, but Il,
sachets should be kept freshly filled.

For Sweet Seventeen

A very pretty white dress made for
a young girl and recently worn by her
was particularly admired. 1t is so diff
ficult to invent something that does
not look old for sweet II. The dress is
in white Liberty silk, quite short--in
fact, just escaping the ground; the
skirt ingeniously trimmed with banGs
of Liberty, and motifs of white EN-.
broidery inserted into white tulle. This
trimming occupies about the space of a
quarter of a yard in width, sewn right
round the skirt. starting from a couple
of inches from the ground. The same
effect of tulle and bands of silk is
made upon the bodice, cut low, and
blousing ever so slightly over a white
satin corselet. The sleeves are short
and pulled urder the trimming, that
falls at the top of the arm.

For ~Blackheads.

ANY woman who is afflicted with
blackheads and pimples must call a
halt on the diet question, avoiding all
pastries and highly spiced indigestible
dishes. She must drink three or four
pints of water a day, eat a great deal
Of fruit, and see to it that the intes-
final tracts are kept active and healthy.
At night battle the face with a correct
complexion brush, pure soap and warm
water, afterward applying creme mar
quise or orange flower skin food. When
pimples form, open them with a fine
needle and apply hy%drozone, which will
combine chemically with the poisonous
deposits. Zinc ointment is also very
healing. Blackheads may be cured by
dipping a linen cloth in diluted alco-
hol and rubbing lightly over the surf
ace. Careful regard for the general
health is most essential.
