Apropos OF recent unfavorable
comments by a London magistrate
on the use OF PERFUMES, II may be
pointed out that very exalted per-
sonages are habitual users of scent.
Queen Wilhelmina of Holland has
daily pint Of eau de cologne in her
morning bath; Queen Victoria Of
Spain affects a mixture OF iris and
lavender on her handkerchiefs;
Queen Helena of Italy prefers iris
and heliotrope; the Dowager Queen
OF Italy and Queen Amelia or Portu-
gal are devotees of sweet violets: but
the Empress of Russia leads the
way, as she spends no less than f4.-
600 year on perfumery in Paris
alone. In respect of violets, she re-
quires that they shall be plucked
Just as sunset And when the-boxes
OF violets reach st. Petersburg they
are first sent to be examined lest
they might conceal a bomb OF some
deadly polson.-Tit-Bits

Ethel and Sam.
By JosEpH van RAALTE.

1t may be the shade and shape Of
those violet eyes of hers; 1t may be
her soft, warm cheeks, or her laugh
ing lips, or that provoking little nose,
tip-tilted like the petal OF a flower,
Any one of these fascinating frag.
ments it may be, or the indescribable
combination Of them all that makes
her such an irresistible curly little
bundle.
With fancy all aglow and on on
a rfotous theme, Sam sits with his
mouth and eyes full of hair and his
arms full of Ethel-and right then
and there Fate catches up with him.
The brethren and kinsfolk of Sam
plead with their gods for light to
understand just what the young man
sees in Ethel; and the kinsfolk and
brethren of Ethel modify wonder
exactly what. under the crescent
curve of the new moon, the young
woman sees in that fellow Sam.
When the sisters of the young
man say Ethel Is critical" they en-
ploy subtle and euphonious mode OF
calling her thin; and when the
cousins and the aunts of the young
woman term Sam Interesting" they
assume an oblique fashion of saying.
We're not sure. but we think he
drinks
The happy day arrives wherein the
young man stands up and In a shaky
voice promises never to forget to love
the lady of his choice; while the rela-
tives. friends and enemies assembled
sit back signalling the message. "All
right. You're happy now. you two.
but-just waitl"
They wait.
The honeymoon slips by. One day
Mr.. Ethel discovers that by means
OF little nature taking Mrs. Ethel
can in two hours SO arrange her hair
that legitimately she may refer to her
efforts as couture. And about this
time Mrs. Sam finds herself face to
face with the distracting fact that
Mr.. Sam is not as fond OF chocolate
layer cake as he Is OF corned beef
and cabbage.
Comes the REIMBURSEMENT.
Then they look at each other and
they smile-a reflective smlle-and
they both reach the conclusion that
it's a prosy old world. after all.
