PARIS. May 13.-Every true Parisienne
Is happy at the news We have just
heard-king Manuel of Portugal is to be
married Now this news is SO far from
oeing Official that what l am writing here
is apt to come as a shock to any num-
Der OF old diplomats. who knew nothing
about 1t whatever. and still it is true, for
the women Of gay Paris who belong to
the rather frivolous circles in which the
young ex-king delights to move when
he Is here have 1t from his own lips
that he is having his last filings, and that
when our great national holiday comes
about on July IA neither Gaby Deslys

he is to become formally engaged

will ascend throne.
Choice a Serious Matter.
Grand Duchess Marie Adelaide Of Lux
embourg will be eighteen years old that
day, and under the new law of success
sion, In default of any legitimate heirs
male. she will then take over the affairs
Of the state of Luxembourg from her
mother, who is regent for her in the
meantime With the accession of the
grand duchess both branches Of the
house of Nassau will be represented on
thrones by girls. the head of the other
branch being the Queen of the Neither
lands.
The grand duchess choice of husband
has been a very serious proposition, and
though the people of Luxembourg are
consort their ruler has chosen, they will
feel that she might have done much
worse. Germany would have looked with
jealous eyes on any marriage with an
English prince and had the grand
duchess chosen one of the kaiserS three
unmarried sons she would have lost for
her country the Friendship of France, and
most likely this would also have led to
the annexation of Luxembourg by Ger
many in case of Franco-German war.
No Serious Objections.
Nobody will have any serious objection
to Manuel. Politically harmless after the
loss of his kingdom, he is a nice young
fellow, who in spite OF his crop of wild
oats is well liked by men and sure to be
adored by the women of Luxembourg
when he comes to reside among them.
The two young people are already re-
lated through the mother of the grand
duchess, who was an infanta of Portugal,
and both are very strict Catholics. Man
uel is five years older than his prospective
bride, who Is as wealthy he is poor, so
the match seems quite an ideal one
The only thing we, who know young
in love with one or more of his five sis
ters-in-law, who are in or approaching the
susceptible age.
Masquerades as Man.
A rather piQuant adventure, of which
Mile. Juliette Ainard is the heroine, has
to be recorded today. The young woma n,
who is the daughter of a manufacturer of
Romainville. wanted to escape from her
surroundings and lead an Independent
life. After a quarrel with her parents she
conceived the idea Of running away and
earning her livelihood as a young man.

ing to Saint Denis, she obtained employ
ment in a factory, where she worked for
three months. The factory was destroyed
by fire. with the result that the young
workman" was thrown out of employ
ment HE" then went to Enghien and

Later on the painter returned to Saint
Denis. The woman at whose house the
young workman lodged became suspi-
cious Of her dodgers actions. She told
the police that her lodger seemed very
effeminate, and spent the whole day in

Taken Home by Her Father.
Meanwhile Mile. Ainard's father had
reported her disappearance to the police.

her. When she was discovered Mile Aim

sire to be Independent that prompted
her to leave home. Her father arrived
at her lodgings Yesterday and took her

not to repeat her escapade.
