Of fastening colored beads In position

cry Is used on dark silk street cos
tunes to decorate girdles. sash ends,

It is also used on chiffon and net

bead embroidery about the bottom

ing offerings In this season of partic-
ularly alluring fabrics. The heavy lus-
trous failles. ottomans. bengalines.
poplins and Bedford cords, in rich and
beautiful colorings, promise a far
greater variety than was possible last

wearying sameness. Another novelty
which, it has been predicted, would
appear at the Paris openings is silk
covert cloth.
For still more dressy gowns the
brocaded silks will be used, especially
in combination with plain silks Of the
same shade. Brocaded silk wraps will
be found with plain one-piece dresses.
A plain charmeuse costume, in shade
between tan and yellow, has loose

these two styles may be indicated
the suit which has fairly long coat

the most Of a-stylfsh vest. Striped vel.

in appearance, is favored among ma

coNsoRT PICKED BY ROYALTY
Somewhat Summary Method Of Mating
az II Is Done in the Kingdom
OF Siam.

Kings of Siam apparently do not be,
lieve in the wisdom OF allowing single
women to drift unattached about the
country. In certain districts after .
girl has reached an age where her Sc
curing for herself husband Is con-
sidered doubtful, she becomes q
daughter of the king" That is, the
king takes upon himself the task OF
settling her suitably in life.
His process is quite simple, and to
the point. He proceeds to the Sia-
mese penitentiary and looks over the
various prisoners. There is law in
Siam that any prisoner can obtain his
release by marrying one of this class
Of girls, and, naturally enough, any
pisoner whom the king picks out is
not likely to be backward about con-
senting to the ceremony. Nor does 1t
make any difference If he IL married,
for the men OF that country are not
restricted to one wife.
AS far as can be learned. there ~
no allowance made for the inclination
Of the girl in question. She has failed
in her mission In life as far as she
herself is concerned. and she must
abide by the decision Of the king
