Considering the vicissitudes that follow failure of male heirs to peers, there is a real cause for congratulations to the Duke and Duchess of Hamilton upon the birth of the sixth child and fourth son, which took place quite recently at Dun gave, Strathhaven, In Lanarkshire. The dukes eldest son, the little Marquis of Douglas and Clydesdale, is now in his 10th year. This sequence of sons to the duke and duchess irresistibly recalls their historic past, and the fact that the death of the King James V. left only an infant five days old between the third Lord Hamilton and the throne of Scotland. It was this Lord Hamilton who became the first Hamilton possessor of the Island of Arran. He was in point of power the first person in the kingdom with a great following and large possessions and he signed himself James. by the Grace of God, Earl of Arran and Lord Hamilton. Governor and Prince of Scotland" He became regent and was declared by par liament heir presumptive to the throne. But his moderation was so great that, although guardian of the young Mary Queen of Scots, he did not marry her to his son, and so the Hamitons have re- mained subjects to this day.

To Keep Skin Healthy,
 Youthful, Wrinkleless

Now that the social season is here, be especially careful to keep your skin in fine condition.

Also how very evident are some makeups when similarly illumi- mated l have myself discarded cosmet- ics entirely, using q process which gives far better results, and which leaves no trace on the skin. At night l smear on a thin coat of ordinary mercolized WAX, washing it off next morning. This gradually absorbs the devitalized par ticles of surface skin: just as grad ua1ly the more youthful skin beneath comes forth, providing q complexion as clear, smooth and delicately tinted as a young girls. Get an ounce of mercol- ized wax at your druggists and try this remarkable treatment.
 Remember too. that wrinkles, even the finer lines, are not easily concealed in a brilliantly lighted room. You can quickly obliterate these hateful marks by bathing your face in a solution of powdered saXolite, l oZ., dissolved in witch hazel, F pt.

 The ambassadors to the courts of Der lin, St. Petersburg and Vienna get $40, 0o0 piece, and the post of ambassador to Italy carries with it salary of $35,- COO a year. Sir Cecil SpringRice will be the youngest of our full-hedged ambassa- dors, for he was born in 1859, year later than Sir Gerard Lowther, who has hith- erto had that distinction. He is already well known in America, for he was over there some eight years ago as the guest or ex-President Roosevelt: and it is well known that the latter was greatly dis appointed at Sir Cecil being passed over in favor of MT Bryce. His marriage in 1904 with the daughter of Sir Frank Lancelles, formerly British ambassador al Berlin, may be said to have still fur ther strengthened his claims to promo tion to the highest rank.

 On one occasion, when a public re- ception was given to MT Gladstone particularly obesquious old gentleman was introduced to him and forthwith commenced flattering him to such an extent that the late premier grew weary of him. so, bidding the man good day. he settled down heavily into the nearest chair. The bore. instead of passing on, fingered near and seemed to have something still in his mind, though he looked blisstul.

But the ancient outside walls were good, and the views were so exquisite all around that Mrs Vincent fell in love with it and said she must have it. Fortunately, too, she hadn't to consider cost at all; the whole thing from start to finish, besides what her father paid for it, is said to have cost her S2,500.000 to make it habtable, and now Muckross Abbey. still as picturesque as ever is one of the most luxuriously and comfortably appointed houses in the British Isles.
 There was another thing, too. which attracted her strongly in Muckross, and that was the opportunities she saw it would give her of indulging her love of all outdoor pursuits She is passionately attached to all animals, particularly dogs and horses, and very soon after her mar riage she made up her mind to restore the almost extinct breed of Irish wolf hounds. She built kenhels for between D and 60 dogs and had the whole of Ire land secured for good specimens of the breed Now she has a 1ourishng pack of these dogs, which are becoming inn mensely popular with society folk in Ire land After the dogs were firmly estab- lished she turned her attention to the famous red deer on the mountains of Mangerton and Tore, near her home, which also were in danger of being ex- terminated. Owing to her efforts, neigh bors agreed to forbear hunting them for three years, and now there is a large herd of these handsome creatures in the mountains.
 To Entertain King
 Lack of space, which is one of the big gest worries impending on a royal visit will not trouble the Duke and Duchess of Portland, with whom the King and Queen will stay for a few days shortly. For Wolbeck is one of the largest ducal homes in England, and could accommo- date two royal parties and their suites if necessary. Few of those who have not had the troublesome honor of entertain ing kings and queens have any idea of the enormous strain it makes on the re- sources of their host. There is the enor- nous accommodation to be found, in the first place Not only has an entirely sep arate suite of rooms to be set apart for their majeStles, including DedrooIns, sll- ting rooms, bath rooms and dressing rooms, but there is their suite, consisting of at least one lady and two gentlemen in-waiting, dressers, valets and royal footmen, also to be housed. Then, of course, royal visit meaps party of dis tinguished guests to meet them, and they and their ladies ladies' and gentle mems gentlemen require still more space. And all this influx of extra folk in the household necessities an increased staff to look after them.
 And the mountains of luggage! King George and Queen Mary are eompara- lively modest in this respect, far more modest than many a society dame and her stupendous trunks and hat boxes with which she arrives to spend a week end. Queen Alexandra was rather ter ror'' in this respect She would have none of her dresses folded up; they were all hung in trunk, especially made for

An Accomplished Queen

No reigning queen possesses as many accomplishments as Queen Maud of Nor way. As a young girl she was taught to cook, to sew to trim her own hats, and crochet pettieoats for the poor; she carves in wood binds books takes pho tographs, manipuates a typewriting ma chine and handles billiard cue, rides drives, fences, dances, swims, rows, can manage a yacht, and is an adept at the national sport of Norway. It is not sur prising that so versatile a lady has been or is credited with the writing of books and plays. At one time that rumor be- came so persistent that an official denial came from court circles that she had taken to a literary career. On the one occasion of the worlds women suffrag- ettes' meeting in London, some four or five years ago, Queen Maud sent mes- sage of sympathy and encouragement- the first queen to identiy herself openly with the movement.
