gers Of the king went forth with the crystal slipper to
seek out the fairest and daintiest of the realm, so samp-
son and his trusted add go forth to find a fitting consort
for Ak-Sar-Ben, and from this time until the chosen one
ascends the throne and her identity is made known to
the waiting throng Society" is on it's tip toes. To be
chosen queen is the privilege Of only the privileged few,
and to be one Of her maids OF honor, or a lady in wait
ing, at her court is an honor coveted by maids and ma
trons, but to dance at the great Coronation Ball and to
witness the imposing ceremony that proceeds it is the
privilege of many, and for weeks beforehand the prepare
tion Of a costume suitable for such an occasion is upper
most in the minds of hundreds Of wOmsn-yes, and men,
too.
AS a matter of fact. Coronation week is replete with
preliminary entertaining, and the excitement ends only
when, propped up in bed next morning, and over her
coffee and roll, Milady reads the last name and the very
last description in the several columns devoted by the
newspapers to telling what the women wore at the Coro-
nation Ball the night before.
Perhaps the ball has been a satisfaction and perhaps
1t has not, but in either event she is weary. poor lady,
and in no mood to encounter that one crime that, above
all others, women are said to resent, a garbled descrip-
tion Of her gown, and especially IL that description is in
adequate. And even though her own gown gets in all
right, she Is amazed and exasperated beyond measure to
see the imported creation worn by Mrs. BIS guest from
New York described as Turquoise messaline with lace
trimmings; pearls" or that old gray crepe de chene and
imitation corals that Mrs. R. has worn for two seasons

monds,' while Mrs. Us beautiful gown is not even men
toned.

Is she color blind? Has she ever seen anything more
pretentlous than a bargain counter tafeta, or has that
paper just picked up someone to help out whose qualihca-
lions more nearly fitted the checking room or the re-
freshment department."
These and many other queries pass through her tired,
excited brain as she hurries into her kimona and to the
phone to talk the outrageous thing over with some
friend Of whose sympathy she is sure. Mrs. BIS atten-
ton must be called to that ridiculous description and
Mrs. ]. must be told that her gown was deserving of
praise, even If that reporter did not seem to think 80,
and 1t is at least a satisfaction to tell someone in that
newspaper office how inexpressibly stupid is their society
editor.

WHERE DO VENDORS STAND
FRUIT PEDDLERs TOSSED ABOUT
BY COUNCIL.
Matter Comes About Through COnsiti-
Grafton of OrdinaAee to Prevent
Selling from Wagons
AbOut the City.

The fate of the fruit vender In Mont
gomery was in the hands of the City
Council Monday night. At times it
looked as If he was doomed; again his
prospects looked rosy.
A long debate. in which eloquent
pleas for the health of the populace
and recriminations flew thick and fast,
held the fruit peddler in the balance,
until finally the city fathers voted to
refer the proposed ordinance to pro-
hibit the sale OF fruit from wagons
and carts back to the committee whence
1t originated.
There were some who argued for the
public health, others who argued for
the public wealth. A syllabus of the
multlfold points pro and con shows
that the street fruit vender is a spread
er of disease, a cheat to children. a
man who contributes little or nothing
to the municipal exchequer. bad citi-
zen, a good citizen, one who boosts the
treasury, accommodates housewives and
children who cannot go to market for
their fruit, and one who is deplorably
misunderstood.
One OF the Aldermen pleaded for the
health of little children who die of
dread diseases contracted from eating
fruit which accomulates all the germs
Of the dust, but the effect of his elo-
quence was offset by the plea Of a

or some one else be named for hi,
job, whether Mr.. Judktns will be re
