MATRIMONIAL ADVICE.
How TO Be Happy Though Married
and A. That.

How TO Be Happy Though Married
and A. That.
So many women find matrimony a
little disappointing, and. though many
confess the fact they rarely see that
they may themselves be TO blame.
When a girl is engaged she is always
careful to look her best that her lover
may admire her. She often fails to do
the same for her husband. This is a
mistake. Men like always to admire
their wives, and they will do so all the
more when they see that other people
admire them too. The untidy, dowdy
woman may have solid virtues, but one
has to remember the fact as an excuse
for her appearance. and the man who
is mentally apologizing for his wlfe's
shortcomings is in danger Of finding
some one else more attractive than she
is.
Then II is a mistake for young wives
to drop their old friends and expect
their husbands TO do the same. The
married lovers may for a short time be
intensely happy in each others society,
but sooner or later outside interests
will be missed. and If happiness is to
continue they must both mix with their
fellows and take their share in the
pleasures and the work Of the world.
Wider interests will not make either
less fond Of the other, and the woman
who wants TO keep her husbands love
will never do so by tying him to her
apron strings and expecting him to
spend all the time he can spare from
his business within the four walls OF
home.
A wife should not merge her individ-
uality in her husband. An echo may be
sweet. but it is always monotonous. so
she should have her own ideas and
opinions. She need not argue-that's
fatal-but a little tact prevents the
necessity.

Are You class;eaI7

You must be classical this season TO
the best of your ability and figure.
Peplums, draped bodices, walls of Troy
and Greek key trimming. tight clinging
sleeves coming we'll down over the
hand, elaborate tunics often edged with
deep silk fringe or again with Greek
designs in gold or silver embroidery
are some Of the fancies Of the hour.
To be classical without judgment is
fatal. This style is only appropriate to
certain types Of women and is ugly,
even grotesque, on short and stout per-
sons.
II should also be confined to certain
materials and times OF wearing. Long,
loose. flowing draperies are wonderful
ly becoming in house. evening or tea
gowns. but are utterly out OF place for
heavy cloths and for morning wear.
Many OF the new silks, however, are
being shown with tunic drapery skill
fully modified to sitter and more con-
venttonal lines for street wear.

a trimming on the sleeves. The plain,
slightly gathered sleeves. by the way,
are just the correct thing for evening
wear, the new sleeve being almost
tight and worn just below the elbow.
Another illustration shows an effective
ribbon garniture for decorating an in
expensive evening dress or afternoon
gown. The front and back viSRs are
the same except for the long sash ends,
which add a still further smart and
dressy touch at the back. The straps
which go over the arms are kept in
place with fancy safety pins on each
sleeve. Still another ribboT trimming
is high bow at the back Sl the neck,
ribbons over the shoulders and around
the high waist, with long ends floating

there is nothing impossible about it,
and the descendants of King Richards
nameless son may be numbered among
ordinary working folk.
All the Clarkes have a right, If they
like. to think that they may be con
nected with royalty-albeit, royalty Of
a somewhat dubious sort When DR..
Samuel Johnson was doing so much to
make Fleet street famous there was
alive in Europe an adventurer who
called himself the Baron Theodore Ste
phen de Neuhoff. He found his way to
Corsica and assisted the Corsicans to
get free from the republic OF Genoa,
which was ruling the island in a tyran
nical manner. In return they proclaim
ed him king under the title of Thee
dore I.
His royalty was brief, however. He
had frequent quarrels with the Corsi-
cans and finally quilted the island. u
timately he drifted to London. where
he kept up a sort of shabby genteel re-
gal style. But at last he was arrested
for debt and remained in prison for
sixteen years. When released he was
broken down and old and died in the
house Of a poor tailor.
The king of Corsica had a grand
daughter who married an official In the
custom house named Clarke. The fam
Ily became very poor. and all genuine
traces Of them have been lost. But it
Is open to any Clarke who pleases to
imagine that he is a descendant OF the
dashing, unlucky Theodore.
A lot of people have claims to be-
long to a much more distinguished
family. Kindly folk still in the hand
Of tho living have employed a meek
old charwoman who called herself
Miss Paley and was glad to earn a
shilling in odd ways. Nothing concern
ing her ancestry could be definitely
proved, but there was reason for be-
lieving that she was a descendant of
Constantine Palaeologus, the last Greek
emperor of Constantinople.
Constantine was killed when the
Turks captured his capital in 1853,
and his family and relatives had to
fee for their lives. Some OF them
came to England, and there are living
thousands Of his descendants.
There is a general impression that
the old royal family of Stuart is ex-
tinct. This. however, is a mistake.
Stuarts and Stewarts scattered all
over Britain can claim kinship with
the old royal family.
In ancient days there used to be
about a dozen kings reigning in Ire
land at once-the king Of Derry, OF
Munster. Of Connahght and 50 on.
They are all gone now. but so many
Of their descendants are alive that
