London, Sept. 14.-While the young Prince of Wales, who is really noth- ing more than mere child as far as character goes, is certainly not troub- ling about getting engaged or mar ried. his relatives are constantly on the lookout for suitable princess bride, and it is now rumored that the final choice has fallen upon Grand Duchess Olga Nicholaievna of Russia, daughter of Czar Nicholas of Russia. 1t is we'll known that the plan has the hearty approval of the Car and Czarina as we'll as King George and Queen Mary. Queen Alexandra, how ever, is said to oppose it and her sis ter, the Dowager@ Empress Of Russia, is taking sides with her, both assert ing that the contract intermarrying Of young princes and princesses so closely related is detrimental to the offspring and that the Prince of Wales, who is typical Northerner with an absolute lack of backbone, brain or temperament, ought to mar ry Southern girl even if her birth were not quite equal to his own. There is no need they say, of hurry ing the engagement and marriage of the Prince of Wales, who shows ab- solutely no tendency towards the sowing of wild oats, and in com paratively few years an ideal mate daughter of King Victor Emanuel of Italy, whose character possesses all the vivacious qualities which are lack ing in the rather stolid and impas- s.ve neir to the throne of England.
 The very latest thing in smart London society is to go and see Rahj Pah, Mohammedam fakir, who is in residence in a quiet backwater turn ing out of restless Picadilly. Rahj is very holy, very wise, and exces- sively dirty. AS of course is we'll known, the crucifiXion of the flesh is the most important business with a fakir who pretends to ultra -sanct-ty, and our visitor makes specially of reclining upon three business-like spikes. He has not washed or attend ed to such trifles as beard or hair trimming for many years, his nails rival those of NebuchadneZZar after his sojourn in the fields. But despite his unattractive exterior, Rahj is a good fellow, and has some most un- canny powers. He can perform mar vels of thought-reading, and has baf- fled many by his powers of second sight He is at present the guest of prorninent London theosophist, who is responsible for his introduction to London sciety.
 An extraordinary ghost story, which suggests that the sea serpent mas gone out oI fashion as a subject for "s. fly season. discussion, comes from Nor ton Nation, in Yorkshire. The au- thor of the tale is Mrs. Morley, who says that she was alarmed to see a waistbelt that she had lain on the floor disappear up the chimney. She was just in time to snatch the end oi it and recover it. Later, sheet blanket, and quantity of wearing apparel were missed, and found il the chimney in sooty and charrec condition. A lady's nightdress, whicf has been missed was recovered from the chimney, with large hole burnt in it. A chimney-sweep and mason it is said, have tried to fathom tht mystery but failed.

THE GRAPHIC'S LONDON LETTER

The officials of the Central Londor Y. M. c. A. who, last year broke all English records fol. begging in their efforts to collect money to pay for the most atrociously ugly building in West End, the headquarters of the Association in Tottenham Court road are now running an extraordinary man catching" campaign in order to get new members to fill their archi- tectural Nightmare. The campaign started on Monday last when the City of London was invaded by two rivalling armies of Y. M c. A. cru saders, known as the red and the blue armies.
 The London City Clerk, is not a very haW worker, according to Am erican standards, but lie : is poorly paid and poorly nourished so when lunch hour comes around he is tol- erably exhausted, though he has done very little work, and likes to spend this hour drowsily hanging about some bar or cheap restaurant until 1t is time for him to go back to his desk or counter. At present, how ever, he has to spend most of his lunch hour as a sprinter trying to get away from the Y. M. c. A. cru saders who are hunting him down ev- erywhere trying to add him to their collection of new members for the Association, with considerable more eagerness even than new policeman trying to establish record for mak- ing arrests. Office managers, how ever, are delighted with the results of the Christian man hunt, for in stead of returning to the office drowsy with beer and cigarettes, the clerks now arrive in state of ex- citement hitherto unseen in the city, which almost succeeds in keeping them the rest of the afternoon.
 The famous religious Order of Bridgettine Fathers has been revived in London, and in the course of a few weeks an elaborate scheme will be naugurated for the establishment of center of activity for the mem bers of the community.
 Almost within the shadows of the famous site of Mert on Ahbey's novi- ciate is to be established by the Bridgettines at Earlsfield, and this training school will be the center of a missionary effort which will ulti- mately spread to other parts of the country
 The rule of life which governs the novice is severe. He must be abso- lutely single of heart, ready to em- brace every kind of discomfort and inconvenience, devoid of any seeking after those things thal, while they make life little easler, spoil the completeness of the sacrifice. He must be absolutely dead to all crea- ture comforts, ready to labor by day and by night, or both, wanting little sleep, caring nothing as to whether the surroundings are pleasant or the reverse.
 The noviciate, however, is only a small section of the gigantic under taking to be inaugurated by the Brid- gettine monks. They have decided tc build a church at Earlsfield to ac- commodate 2,0OO persons, to which | will be attached mission house and school for 800 children. They have also arranged to erect four smal chapels in the outlying parts of the district. In addition, two schools fol infants are to be provided for thu most thickly populated part of Earls

EVENING CHAT
By RUTH CAMERON.

I'm this place I have seen hundreds
of women and girls who ought to be at
tractive, but who are content to be plain
Just because they are not actually pretty,
they are content to be nonentties- They
miss all that makes life worth living, the
attention o. the opposite sex
These words were uttered-or rather
written by a famous French beauty
Some day that woman is going to grow
old. Some day, presumably, she is going
to lose her youthful charms. Some day
she is going to cease to be able to com
pets with younger women for the atten-
ton of the opposite sex" I wonder, since
she thinks that is all that makes life
worth living, If all happiness Will cease
for her then. If she does not develop a
somewhat different view Of life, from
that which she seems to hold now, sup
pose 1T will.
Sex is a tremendous factor IN wonan's
life, even greater perhaps than in mans.
The admira ton and love Of men are two
of the greatest happiness stimulators that
can come to a woman But they are not,
this woman, and many others would
have US believe, the whole of her life
1 am constantly reading in the newspa-
pers and magazines-and, yes CONFESS
it. sometimes writing myself-advice to
girls to do, or not to do, this or that
because men like" this, or men don't
An average group of girls seldom talk
long without discussing some of the
masculine likes and dislikes.
We mustn't perfumery, because
''men don't like perfumery.'
We mustn't be too athletic because
''men don't like" girls who are too strong
and self reliant.
We must appear to be domestic, because
''men are apt to fall in love with a do
nestle woman
we mustn't insist on having the vote,
because linen wouldn't care for women
who know enough to vote
wonder If gatherings of men spend
their time discussing feminine likes and
dislil1es.
I know thar men are not constantly
receiving advice in the papers to do this
or that to please the opposite sex
It seems to me, that we are putting al
together too much emphasis on this phase
of our existence. Il beg to differ with
Madame the beauty, in her statement
that the attention of the opposite sex
is all that makes life worth living to
woman.
There arc a great many things besides
considerations of sex that make happiness
for a. woman. There is congenial work, |
there is friendship, there is social service,
there is travel there are a thousand in /
tellectual pleasures such as books, lee |
lures theaters, study and so forth.
Don't believe anyone who tells you that
s.rnen like and 1.-The attention of the OPP |
posite SEX are the beginning and end
of woman's existence.
These are good things my friends ] |
would be the last to deny that. But they |
aren't the whole of existence-even of a |
4vonan's existence.

A PRoNIsING YOUTH.

1 didn't think much Of that kid of mine
Until Fourth of July came along,
L loved the lad with love divine,
And he'd filled all our hearts with song
But didn't believe he'd amount to much,
He seemed so slow and sedate-
He appeared to me to be lacking the
touch
That goes with the truly great.
But Fourth of July with it's boom and
blare
First changed that outlook bleak,
And | sort of felt there was genuine
there
For reaching some pinnacled peak;
For he suddenly popped from his quiet
shell,
Straight out of its confines dire,
And seemed in a flash to give promise Of
well,
OF setting the world on fire.
And later on, when the Christmas chime
Was making the world elate,
1t seemed to me if we gave him time
He'd rank with the Wondrous great.
For 1 tried to sleep for an hour or two
On a nice little divan curled,
And then in another flash 1 knew
He'd made a big noise in the world!
