She got up very early one morning

But the Princess made her way
across the room and found the light
came through a window; this She
opened.
Then she looked around the room
and the first thing that her eyes fell
upon was the huge picture of man in
Tbs, The Princess went close to it and
looked. 1t was a very handsome man,
whose eyes looked out from the pic
ture, and the Princess smiled.
II does not make me unhappy to
look at you," she said aloud. 'I cam
not understand what Trusty James
meant by telling me such a foolish
story. think you are very handsome"
she said as she courtesied to the pic
ture. Il wish you were alive" she said
at last.
But the Princess was frightened when
the eyes and the mouth in the picture
suddenly laughed at her and the hand
some man suddenly said: '"You shall
have your WISH" and then he stepped
from the frame.
You have broken the SPELL" he said
just as the sun Is rising
When the Princess recovered from
her establishment the handsome man
told his story.
Long. long ago" he said, "I was
turned into a picture of myself by an
old witch because / would not marry
her daughter. l once lived in this castle
before your father was born
You do not look SO DID," said the
Princess
Il am not DID," replied the Prince, for
he was prince; Il have remained the
age I was when the witch cast the
spell over me. She said I should remain

wished were alive.
And she also cursed the daughters Of
this house that looked upon me before
they wed, fearing they might fall In
love with me, unless they came to this
room before the sun rose. OF course
no one came at that hour, and those
who visited me at any other fell under
the spell of the witch. But she did not
dare break her word when you came at

A sound was heard just then, and
when they turned toward the door there
stood Trusty James wringing his hands.

promised your father 1 would protect
you"

Princess, II am safe; the spell is broken
and this room will never again be a
curse to the daughters of this house"
The Prince told Trusty James that he
had done his duty, for he kept his mis-
tress from the room at the hour when
1t would have been harmful and HIS
promise to the king had not been
broken.

TRUSTY JAMES.

~ nee upon a time there was a
king who was very Ill and
about to die, so he called to his
bedside an old servant. called
Trusty James. because he had been with
the family so long and served them so
faithfully.
Il leave to you," said the king, 1.-The
happiness of my daughter, the Princess; /;
she will have many lovers and some
day marry one of them, that her own
heart must direct.
but there is one thing from which
you must protect her. In the east tower
of this castle Is a room, which IL she
enters will not only make her unhappy,
but perhaps cause her death.
In this room is a picture of a man,
and whoever Of my family looks upon 1t
before they wed, 1 mean the women of
the family, will become blind or perhaps
die the instant they behold it.
THE key to the door was thrown away
years ago. after my sister had stolen
to the room on her wedding night and
looked at the forbidden picture.
I'VE found her blind and later she
died without telling what she had seen.

Trusty James listened to all the king
said and when he finished promised to
guard the Princess as he would his own
daughter II he had one, and the king
was content to die.
But Trusty James had promised with
out reckoning on the willful Princess,
for wilIful she was.
Her father had orly been dead a
short time when she called Trusty
James TO her one day and asked for
the keys to the castle.
She opened one door after another
until she came to the door of the room
in the east tower, and after trying all
the keys and not being able to open
the door she called Trusty James.
Where is the key to this door, she
asked
There is no key to that door, your
highness.' said Trusty James.
Call a locksmith at once and have
one made" said the Princess. II wish
to see the inside Of that room tomor-
row"
TrustS James did not know how to
answer at first, but at last he decided
the truth would be best.
You must not open the door," he told
her; the ladies Of your family are
never to see what that room holds un-
til after they are wed; il will bring un-
happiness upon you II you open that
door"
THAT is foolish" replied the Prin-
cess. and as have no lover. and am
Eot likely to have, I wish 10 opan that
door; obey me and have a key made at

But Trusty James had promised the
king he would guard the Princess. and
he did not obey her.
The Princess was very angry when
she found she was not obeyed. but as
Trusty James was such an old and
faithful servant she decided to say
no more about it. but open the door
in some way without letting him
know about II.
Trusty James, however, watched the
"rincess every minute Of the day so
that she could not get chance to
carry out her plan.

BY THE SHOPPER.

In a store on Pennsylvania avenue
between Eleventh and Twelfth streets,
I saw a very odd and pretty little cor
dial set, consisting of six small glasses
on a triangular brass waiter, with a
thin crooked handle rising straight in
the center of the tray. This entire set
was marked $250 and would add to the
attractiveness of a dining-room buffet.
In the window of the same store I
saw some chinaware which made me
think of the Dresden ware. but which
learned came from Austria. There
were fern dishs, vases, bonbon dishes,
card baskets, etc, all daintily trimmed
in gold designs. The fern dish ! no.
ticed particularly was 81, and it was
certainly an artistic bit of china.
I saw some remarkable bargains in
underwear this morning in a store on F
street, near Tenth. There were en-
broidered nighties Of good quality ma
terial for So cents each. There were also
some underbodieS trimmed with val.
lace for So cents each. Small muslin
undergarments were on sale here for
8 cents
saw an exceptionally pretty navy
serge one-piece dress in an F street
store, near Ninth, this afternoon, which
was marked S6.95. 1t had black satin
collar and cuffs of the same material
with black satin buttons down the left
side. Altogether it was a stylish little
dress, and would come in very handy
for the business woman or college girl.
saw a very pretty, fluffy brown
marabou stole and muff in a store near
Ninth on the north side of F street
this afternoon marked only 1885. This
set would be suitable to wear in the
coolest weather Washington has and
Is certainly much cheaper than furs
and more suitable for the climate here.
There was also displayed in this store
q huge stole made of strings of os-
trich feathers of black, black and
white, and pure white. These bands
of ostrich feathers were used alter
nately. and The effect. as a whole.
was very fluffy and rich. The stole
would look we'll on an elderly woman

would brighten up a dark suit and, a
the same time, be as conservative a.
the most fastidious could desire. Tht
price was $10.95.
In a well-known rubber goods store
on F street l saw a genuine bargain
in a tan English slip-on raincoat. II
was warranted to shed water and last
ever so long. all for 1913. There were
also some children's capes with little
hoods lined with rubberized plaid cloth
for $2-S5. There was a rubberized inner
lining to these capes, which adds to the
wearing qualities of these garments for
little girls.
In an F street jewelry store near
Tenth saw an attractive sterling sill
yer bonbon set for s2.75 a pair. These
bonbon dishes would make a unique
present for a newly welded friend.
There was a chatting dish in the same
window made of copper and nickle for
IS. which would also make a very ac-
ceptable gift. II one is thinking of
spending IS in this way.
l saw a brand new novelty in an F
street store near Tenth today which
ought to appeal to the woman or girl
who goes out to the theater or evening
functions a great deal. This novelty
was no other than a dear little hood
made OF shetland wool, which came
In all of the evening shades. The styla
of hood is extremely pretty and dainty,
and what is better still 1t fits over the
head snugly and prevents the hair from
flying. These hoods were marked $l.9S
l saw a few nicknacks made up Of
sweet grass this afternoon in a de-
partment store near Eleventh street
which were quite worth while having
There were hatPin holders. thimble
and small covered baskets
which could be used to hold pins or
small bits of jewelry. and any Of these
articles could be bought for q cents.
l saw a very useful as we'll as very
attractive tailored white challis waist
with soft collar and cuffs of the
same material for $2.95 in a store on
Eleventh street, between F and G.
this afternoon. This waist was among
the very newest in the store, and will
surely be quite popular this fan.

For Removing Hairs

Modes OF Today.)
Hair on face, neck or arms can be
easily, quickly and permanently re-
moved without resorttng to the pain or
expense attached to the electric needle.
A simple powder. known as delatone, Is

hairy surface. Let the paste remain on
two or three minutes, then rub II OF.

Delatone costs a dollar an ounce but
