BRUSSELS, July 5.-The prospect Of
a plebeian son Of King Leopold and a
woman OF the commonest antecedants
becoming heir to the throne OF Belgium
is just now causing the greatest anxiety
to Belgians Of all classes According to
information coming today from court
authorities. Leopold is said to have
about determined 10 solemnize his mar
rage under a religious ceremony with
the Baroness Vaughn, by whom he has
two-year-old son. with a civil cere-
mony. Such an act would make the
baroness Queen OF Belgium and her son

1t has been Officially stated 10 Leopold
that the Belgian people will never en-
dure the sight of the throne passing to
one OF mediocre blood, and that II ne
persists his abdication will be forced.
This threat is not likely to deter Leo
pold. however. as he is known as the
most obstinate monarch in Europe.

Feminine Tears Touch

1t is considered unbecoming by
They are placing themselves on a
equality with men in all ways, and,
as men are supposed never to be
guilty of such weakness, women also
must initiate this stoicism and devel-
op hardness or strong-mindedness
whichever we may choose to call it.
1t is very questionable if this is good
for women in any way; it is a relief
to shed tears, and many a man would
be glad if it were not regarded as
cowardice for him to weep 1t is
Natures method, or one of her meth
DDS, of assuaging grief, and the in
ability to indulge in tears leads many
men to drink as a means of giving
vent to their feelings.
From another point of view, how
ever, this stoicism is certainly preju.
dicial; that is, in the chances of mar
riage. Whatever men may say, it is
inherent in them to like a tender
woman; they see in her one who will
sympathize with them, and who will
come to them for sympathy. No man
rreally likes to see a m cry, for
it hurts him and makes him uncom.
Portable until he can do something to
relieve her, but all men prefer a WON
an who can and does cry. Not a
foolish, faint-hearted specimen of hui
manity, who flops down at any trou.
Bile, however small, but really a ten.
der-hearted creature who, although
brave enough, does not try to en-.
case herself in a kind of additional
outer skin, or suit of mail, that will
render her proof against sentiment
A woman of that sort, they not un'
naturally imagine, will be a very un
desirable helpmeet in this world OF
ups and downs, and they look fol-
n who has not lost the ability tc
weep in true feminine fashion.
In spite Of their moral strength
men always want some one in whom
they can confide. What encourage
men can they expect from a woman
who knows how to weep, and regards
it as undignifed?

MADE THEM ALL LAUGH.
Book Must Have Been Funny, bat Ne
. One Knew What Is Waz.

It must have been a very funny
story! The type looked funny from
across the aisle of the car, the pic
lures looked funny, and the young
lady who was reading 1t doubled up
In fits of stifed laughter every few
minutes. The young man in the seat
with her could not help stealing q
glance at the pages of the book which
was evidently SO funny, but whose
cover was carefully doubled back u
of sight, and soon he began to laugh
as he upblushingly followed the story
page after page, shaking with sup
pressed merriment.
The woman in the seat at right an
giles became interested and looked
over the girls shoulder. Presently
her face b~roadened into a grin and
soon she was convulsively shaking.
The man In the seat across smiled at
the scene. A boy a few seats down
the aisle grinned alphabetically. A
darby still further down showed all
his white teeth. The ~contagion spread
until the car was nearly on the verge
OF Mysteries, when the fair reader got
up to leave the train, yet no n but
the girl herself had any Idea as To
what the book was.

Bazaar Candy Booth.

Will Nine. Merri use a few mo-
ments of her valuable time in telling
us how to decorate and cond uct a
candy booth at a church bazaar, also
give an idea for decorations for the
fancy work table?
The Committee in Charge.
AS l am just free from the throes
of a bazar which has occupied the
best part of a week, | feel qualified
TO speak intelligently upon the sub.
ject requested. The candy booth is
usually the most popular of depart
ments, a good money maker. Have only
homemade candies, with the addition
of sailed peanuts, peacans and al
monds, also popcorn. If practical,
have it popped on the spot. Decorate
with white and pink cheesecloth with
"a fringe of pink paper rosettes across
the top and hanging on graduated
lengths of ribbon (tape will answer)
across the front of the booth.
Let the attendants wear white with
pink bows on white caps, pink collars
and belts. Arrange the candies attrac-
lively in dainty boxes, baskets and
bowls. Take orders for holiday con-
fections. Have a pair of scales and
be honest and fair, giving back cor
rect change. You may add candy
box favors for dinner parties and chill
sdren's entertainments, also the snap
ping motto caps. Pretty cards to
accompany gift boxes should be pro-
vided and l should think dinner and
@card-party score cards would prove
a lucrative side line.
A booth which attracted much at
utention at our bazaar and which would
be adaptable for your fancy work
table was built and ornamented at
very little cost. The background was
"A lattice work made from strips of
pink crepe paper. Over this trellis
there were quantities Of autumn
leaves which had been cut from
crepe paper, and fastened by pins to
pink lattice work. The roof or top
was made of closely placed strips of
pink paper.
This scheme could be worked out
In daisies, holly, or the gorgeous
poinsetta, as all these flowers come
on rolls of crepe paper at 16 cents
a roll, II takes time to cut out the
designs, but the redeeming feature is
the very pleasing result with such a
minimum expense.
