Selling n Queens Gowns.

Whether or not the Queen of italy
approves of the sale of her discarded
gowns to royalty loving Americans
appears to be a moot question. Ac-
cording to one report, these garments
are the perquisites Of her majesty's

with the Queens knowledge, at semi
annual sales, from which she realizes
about $4,000. Other reports have it
that Margherita is much annoyed by
this scattering abroad Of her cast-off
raiment and has dismissed two maids
who were reaping a considerable rev.
