NEVER SAW F|ANCEE
Servian Crown Prince to Wed
Turkish SuItan'S Daughter.
Union Between the Royal Houses Ar

Having Designs on an Amer
lean Heiress.

Belgrade. - In the announcement
which has just been made Of the en-
gagement between the crown prince of
Servia and Princess Schadis Sultana,
fourth daughter of eX-Sultan Abdul
Hamid OF Turkey, no n can find a
Specification Of the impending union Of
two loving hearts. or anything APP
preaching the romantic. These two
young persons, who are one day to be
mar and wife, have never ever seen
each other, the prospective bride be-
ing a Turkish lady of high degree,
who Is seen by no one outside her own
household until her wedding day.
The affair is fixed up by the father
and uncle of the principal parties TO it
during the visit of King Peter of
Servia to the sultan of Turkey and real
significance is found In the fact that
by allowing his niece to become the
wife of the future king of Servia the
sultan acknowledges the Karageorge-
witch family to be of equal rank with
his own. This family Of lengthy and
c-acOphOnOuS nomenclature has had
what literally may be called q mush-
room growth, for only as far back as

son having been forced by his father
to renounce his claim to the throne
owing to his wild and dissipated life.
Prince Alexander is a much Quieter
youth, though One wonders rather
what his opinion is on the subject of
his unseen bride. Her yelled picture
seems to show that she Is an extreme
ly beautiful girl.
The report was spread in the United
States several months & that the
crown prince and his brother intended
to visit that country this summer and
would try to win the hand of some
wealthy American girl, who would ex-
change her millions for the title of
Queen of Servia.
1t was said that a special envoy had
gone to Washington to arrange for
Prince Georges introduction to a Chi
cagO heiress who has several millions
at her command and Will have more in
the event of the death of her mother.
This has been emphatioaly denied and
the announcement has been made that
the man who claimed to be the royal
matchmaker Is not even known to the
crown prince.

BABY'S SCALP CRUSTED

"Our little daughter, when three
months old, began to break out on the
head and we had the best doctors to
treat her, but they did not do her any
good. They said she had eczema. Her
scalp was a solid scale all over. The
burning and itching was so severe that
she could not rest. day or night. We
had about given up all hopes when we
read of the Cuticura Remedies. We at
once got a cake of Cuticura Soap, a
box of Cuticura Ointment and one bot
tie of Cuticura Resolvent, and fol-
lowed directions carefully. After the
first dose of the Cuticura Resolvent,
we used the Cuticura Soap freely and
applied the Cuticura Ointment. Then
she began to improve rapidly and in
two weeks the scale came off her
head and new hair began to grow. In
a very short time she was we'll. She is
now sixteen years of age and a pic
ture of health. We used the Cuti-
cura Remedies about five weeks, reg
ularly, and then we could not tell she
had been affected by the disease. We
used no other treatments after we
found out what the Cuticura Remedies
would do for her. ]. Fish and Ella NJ.

No Wives in Old Venetian Embassies

wv WIVES w ~ 6ItI0doSiSS'
A number of very canny old Gus
toms have beer allowed to go out of
use. They seem so founded on sense
that their one-time existence is as as
founding as their speedy surrender to
the wishes of those concerned. During
the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries
the Venetian republic had ideas re-
garding its ambassadors to foreign
countries which were quaint in the
extreme. No departing minister was
permitted to take his wife with him,
the council of ten charmingly saying
that that she would distract her hus-
band from business. This was most
graceful, and would be an excuse al.
most complimentary enough to keep
wives of modern ambassadors at
home, no n for a moment suggest
ing that diplomacy would be bene-
flied thereby. On the other hand, the
ten were perfectly frank in saying
that the wife of an ambassador could
on no account accompany her husband.
as her presence would make it diff
ficult TO keep servants at the embassy,
and it was most important that a
sumptuOus and complete establish
ment be kept up. This was really
most cutting, and we share the justi-
fable rage of the ladies.
