to marry a princess, but he wanted obe sure that she al a real

Ign and Jack. $50 he travelled through the whole world looking
for his princess Many times he felt sure that he had found one, but always
there wa something against each Of them. He found plenty OF princesses
willing to marry him, for he was a handsome, rich young man M the heir
to a great kingdom, but In every case here was something which showed that
the young lady al not a real princess. So he went back home to his own
country feeling very sad
nOne night, there was a dreadful storm. It nghtened and Numbered. and

Woman's
Opinions on the Hsrem Skirts
Are Divided Like tho Garment.

Opinions are divided, like the gar
ment itself, concerning the beauty and
utility of the harem skirt. Already the
curious combination of skirt and trou-
sers has appeared in the large cities of
America as well as the old world. In
truth it must be said that the women
who have worn the harem skirt, or the
joupe culotte, to give II a name that
comes from Paris, were actresses who
were eager to have their names and
pictures IN the papers.
One Of the features OF the o In
New York's Centrafpark is Hattie, an
elephant that plays the harmoniea.
Hattie does not get much music out OF
the instrument-who cani-but she
makes q noise, and she usually has an
audience when she performs. On a re-

cent Sunday afternoon Keeper Snyder

and prepared to entertain the crowd.
Just then a woman wearing q harem
skirt appeared, and the concert was
lcaIled off. The crowd cared much
more for the entertainment offered by
the wearer. of the tr0userettes than
for an elephant playing a mouth organ.
Keeper Snyder and Hattie returned to
the elephant house. and the ~sightseers
followed off after the harem skirt and
