Boxes Fitted with Ivory.

~ LID English work boxes fitted with
| articles in ivory are now very much
in demand, and the antique dealers
have all they can do to secure enough of
them to supply the constant requests for
the quaint boxes. They are most of them
fitted with a number of fascinating little
drawers, and the upper part is fitted not
only with the usual sewing utensils but
with a large number of little spindles,
small ivory boxes, tubes and many OBJ
jccts which the modern girl at first
finds it difficult to utilize. The boxes are
so attractive and have so many little
every girl who sees them is anxious to

LONDON NOT ALARMED.
No Credence Is Placed in Reports That
Edward WI Is Seriously III.

London. March 1n.-No alarm is felt
here concerning the health of King Ed
ward and no credence is placed in the
reports that he is seriously i'll. Indeed.
it is announced that the Kings gen.
eral condition has improved since his
departure from London.
Rumors concerning the health of the
King have been current since his visit
to Berlin. out it is learned thta His
Maiesty's general health is rcmarka
bly, good. 1t is true that he suffers
from an affection of the throat but
tnuugh it has been observed that the
King has aged very much and become
quft- tnfccbled during the past year,
it is impossible to point to any spe-
cific symptoms occasioning uneasiness.
which could not be attributed to adj
vancing years and the habit of con-
stantlr smoking strong cigars.
IA his manner of obcying orders and
taking great care of himself. the doc
tor, ind the King d difficult patient.
However. this year, as last year. he
has consented to follow their advice
and e to EiarratZ to avoid the treach-
er0uS British climate. In addition to
more favorable cnnatlc conditions tle
doctors felt that the King would be able
to obtain ut that place rest which he
greatly needed. Throughout the winter
he has been most active in carrying
out official and social duties. These
functions tended to wear upon the
King, strength and although those

united in saying that he was looking
particularly well.
