Mentioned in Folk Songs.

The folk songs and legends Of Servia
and Montenegro are fII of the doings
Of the Obrens. and in legend and song
they are endowed with characteristics
which are genuinely and Enthusiastically
Irish. The O'Briens became voievodes
or hereditary governors Of Dulcigno,
port Of Montenegro. and young Djuro
O'BHen or Obren. who ruled therein at
the end Of the fifteenth century, was
remarkable for his beatty This got
him into trouble. Old Ivo, who ruled
as prince over Montenegro, had sought
the daughter Of the doge of Venice as
a bride for mis- son, and had gone IN
great state with much gold TO arrange
the match. He took with him three
loads" of gold. and it was one cOntin-
uous chowder party in Venice until
the money was all gone. Then Ivo
started for home To sober up and let

the 600 should personate the afflicted

His Beauty MARRIED.

Soon after Two had returned to his

smallpox, and when he recovered he
was so badly pitted that his beauty
had vanished. SO Ivo was AFRAID TO
send the young man to Venice and
spoke to him no more of the marriage.
Some years elapsed. and then came a
message from the doge saying that if
Two anted his son to marry the girl
he had better send him along, as she
was getting tired Of waiting and had
had several good offers. Then Two de-
termined to put up a job or the doge.
He assembled the Coo young men, the
boon companions Of his SON.; and ex-

Then Miss RandoIph's.

The scene was one TO beggar de-
scription, and the guests one and
all were loud in declaring that
such splendor would seldom again
be equaled, let alone excelled. In
this they were mistaken, so far as
cost goes, for 1t was scarcely a
fortnight until Miss Dorothy Ran
dolph was introduced to Philadel-
phia's smart set at a function that
was more costly than that of the
Pauls'.
Also, it was different, and equally
as ingenious. The bill for Ameri-
can Beauty roses did not equal
that of the Pauls', being only $50
600. but the difference was more
than made up in the souvenirs.
They were jeweled trifles imported
from Paris, and the 1000 that con-
stituted the lot cost $50 apiece.
Like the Paul function, the Ran
dolph ballroom was made into a
jungle-like flower garden, and as
the guests entered they were
greeted with the warbling from
300 canary throats That many of
the finest songbirds that money
could secure had been liberated in
the room, to fly where they
pleased, and TO add their songs to
music furnished by the Hungarian
orchestra.

Numerous other cases win be recalled
where transplanted Irish families have
become prominent n the country OF
their adoption, and there Is reason to
believe that tne Obren family fur

At one end of the room there
was the appearance of a grotto,
with a rustic bridge spanning an
artificial pond at the entrance.
This pond was filled with the cost

guests, who cared to, was fur

to angle for them.
While admitting that the debut
