THE STORY.

CAMUEL watched with more than
~ usual interest the preparations
which we're going forward for the SOL
emn celebration of the Passover feast,
for not only was he to have part
in the celebration but he knew his
mother would come. It had been long
year to the young boy. His brave little
heart had found comfort In the
thought that he belonged to the Lord
and that he was in the temple to serve
him, but at times there was the hun
gering in his heart for the love and
comfort which only a mother knows
how to bestow. But she had faith
fully prepared him for the separation,
for frcu his earliest recollection she
had filled his heart and thought with
the place he was to take In the tenn
pie service. and when at last the
time had come that he was to go up
with her to Shiloh, a childish sense of
the dignity and importance made him
brave and willing to remain behind
while his mother returned home. AS
she had embraced him and pressed a
warm, tender kiss upon his brow at
parting she had said:
Remember, son, against another
year I will come hither to see thee.
See how much of good thou canSt
have to tell me concerning thy serv-
Ice in the Lords house."
He had often thought OF the words,
and they had comforted him in the
lonely hours and encouraged him
when his heart had grown faint and
weary with the monotonous routine OF
the simple daily tasks. He had been
brave and steadfast and 80 apt and
faithful q student had he proved that
1t last he had been included among
those who played upon the musical In
strurents in the temple service, and
his FIRST thought had been Of his
mother and how proud and pleased
she would be on her return It the
time Of the feast now near 1t hand to

Boston.-"Some titles are bad and
some titles are worse, but there are
no good titles" sarcastic American
father is said to have exclaimed
apropos OF the marriage of a relative
to foreign nobleman.
Ho was not altogether right, nor
was he altogether wrong. The Old
World is flooded with titles, good, bad
and Indifferent. The bad and the in
different greatly outnumber the good.
American girls have some of the good,
possibly more of the bad, and, per-
hapk still more of the Indifferent.
There is a heraldry Office in London
that spends all its time Strengthening
out the kinks in the peerage. With
some 500 American women married to
foreigners, duly handled as to their
names, some of the freaks of aristoc-
racy's rating are apropos.
In America 1t is self-evident--
though some children disprove it
that parent is superior to the child.
Yet an American woman is on record
Of Isaac M. Singer married sol
disant Due de Camposelice and later
M. Paul Sohege, a plain Frenchman.
But her daughter Is Duchesse Decazes
among the French aristocracy, and
Duchesse de Gluecksburg in the high
lights of Denmark. If 1t isn't a case
of daughter out-distancing the moth
er, 1t is the nearest approach to the
condition.
Some Of these daughters have be-
come duchesses of England, prin-
cesses of Russia, duchesses Of France,
principessae of Italy, duquesas OF
Spain or Portugal, and still others
have obtained titles of the Holy
Roman Empire and papal titles by
marriage. There are said to be about
500 of them all told, but how do they
rank among each other? Where In
the scale of high-sounding handles to
matrimonially acquired surnames doth
rank Lady Tennessee Claflin Cook,
who is the widow of an English baro-
net, and who, through him, is Wis
countess Montserratin in the peerage
OF Portugal? And why does not she
employ the higher Portuguese title In
stead Of the inferior English one?
PecuIlarIties Of Peerages.
Tho truth IL that peerages are now
worthy Of but half respect. Only two
OF them are really to be very serious
ly taken, the English and the dignities
confined to the mediatized Teutonic
families. And the latter of these Is
not open to American ambitions, as
Miss Mary Wister Wheeler of Phila-
delphia discovered in 1890, when she
was married to Count Macmillan Pap
penheim. Of that ilk, and learned.
when Berlin heard OF the event, that
she could never be more than NOR
ganatic wife.
Recently II transpired that English
titles are not always exactly what
they seem. II came out that one peer

American practice of contributing to
Z political campaign fund. II took

! A curious feature of the Spanish no
bility Is the manner of inheriting It.
The dignities descend from father to
son, but II there is no son the daugh-
ter takes the title. and 1t is conferred

ries.
Prince Owns Gambling House.
The prince of Monaco, who runs
Monte Carlo, was married to Alice
Heine. Of New Orleans, and the pres
ent heir to the gambling receipts is
her stepson. Prince Reched Bey
Czaykowski is a Turkish diplomat. but
not very important as a Turk. Miss
Edith Collins. Of New York, was the
princess maiden name.
Boston Is not wonderfully we'll rep
resented among the titled Americans
abroad. Foremost, perhaps, among
Boston girls of this description IL the
countess of Edla, who, on June 10,
1869, married the late king consort of
Portugal. Ferdinand. She was Miss
Elsie Hensler, and received the NOR
ganatic dignity Of Countess Edla,
which she still bears.
Then there is Lady Playfair, nee
Miss Edith Russell, who visits Boston
annually, and Nine. Jusserand, wife Of
the French ambassador at Washing
ton, who was the daughter OF George
banking firm of Monroe & Co., Paris.
Lady Gilbert Carter, wife of the gov
ernor of Barbados, was Miss Gertrude
Parker, of Boston.
The curiosities that have grown up
around the matter of nobility would
heraldry Office Is more than 1t Is else
where. the technicalities are best OBJ
served.
There is the matter of the courtesy
title, for instance. There is Baron VIII
loughby d'Eresby, who Is married to
Miss Elroise Breese, of New York. and
who isn't q baron at all. He Is sim
ply eldest son Of the earl Of Ancaster,
who has more than one extra title that
is inferior to his own Of earl. His ia
ther has virtually loaned that of his
barony to his eldest son until he shall
succeed. So the eldest son of the
duchess Of Marlborough, who is known

Young American Mother Of Peer.
She who was Miss Gertrude Violet
Twining, of Halifax, Ia the youngest
of American mothers of peers. 1t was
In 1902 that she married the marquis
Of Donegal. she being 20 and he 80.
Their son. now marquis, was born
year before his aged fathers death.
He is a marquis of the Irish peerage,
which is quite distinct from that Of
Great Britain or Scotland. A peer Of
Great Britain sits In the house of lords
because he is peer. Duke, earl, mar
quis, viscount or baron, 1t makes no
difference. But Ireland sends only a
certain number, and Scotland few
more. The rest not sitting in the
lords can stand for the commons.
But that is material for book.
England, 1t should be noted, is not
overburdened with nondsscript princes
like some other countries. A prince
there is really and truly prince, son
OF royalty. A princess is just as real

"rhe word OF the Lord was
precious In thooe days. Not
to the people Of Israel, but to
God. Spiritual life was at such a

wastes his revelation. He never
casts his pearls before swine.

There are half dozen kinds of
dukes, spelled according to the genius
Of their geographical situation. There
are dukes In England who are real
aristocrats. When, therefore, an
American girl, Miss Zimmerman of
Cincinnati, captured the heart of his
grace of Manchester, she got titular
matrimonial prize.
French DucaI System.
There are dues in France, but their
only value is as contributors to the
governments income, by the sarcas-
tically graded scale that puts more Of
a price on them the farther up
they go. One exception may be made
to this general rule, for the royalists
still hold levees, and to them title
is instinct with meaning and dignity.

would be entitled to enter this society,
and either she who was born Eliza
beth Curtis of New York or the pre-
viously divorced wife of Frederick
w. Livingston could have accompan-
led him during their reigns over a
heart whose unhappiness became
rather well known at divorce court.
The royalist society constitutes the
worth of a French title, but only two
per cent. of all titles of La Belle
Paris and elsewhere in France are
legitimate. The others are Jokes.
His Turkish Title.
In all except the mediatized fami-
lies-formerly royal German families
there are women to represent the
greatest country without a nobility.
Even at Constantinople, where you
can buy the order of Osmanieh and
the lower grades dirt cheap, there is
one of our women. She has had the
wings of her dignity clipped, but she
Is still Margaret Fehim Pasha.
Her husband was, till few months
ago, chief of the Yildiz secret police,
likewise a distant relative of the

jected to little pleasantly Of his,

A Russian prince is a travesty on
language, actually and literally. Prop
erly, he isn't prince at all, according
to respectable English standards, but
the Almanach de Gotha mistranslated
the word "kniaz" that way. and the

Many Times . Duchess.

There Is one American woman who
Is duchess on four commonplace
counts. This is the Duchesse de Dino,
who is the same of Talleyrand- Peri
CORD and of Valencay in France, and
Prussian duchess of Sagan.
Titles In Italy date back long time,
and had their origin in the times when
there were free cities, each of which
had its own collection of nobility. The
title of prince there Is not awe-inspir-
ing, and the others of lower grade fall
far short of honor. The Italian equiv
alent Of Burke's Peerage will look up
your ancestry, determine your heraldic
bearings and include history of your
origin in its next edition for nominal
sum.
The vatican grants titles. The par
venus work so hard getting titles unto
themselves that really respectable no.
bility have got out Of the habit of
using their legitimate ones. Prince
Ferdinand Colonna married Miss Eva
Bryant Mackay, but In that family the
title Is disregarded. They consider It
really more aristocratic to call each
other simply Don" and Donna" The
Rospigliosi and Ruspolin families,
which together number nearly dozen
American women among their wives,
are as aristocratic and as particular.
