Thus argued the royal matchmakers.
No woman ever had better chance
to rule by love than Princess Marie
The Roumanians idolized that tall,
fair beauty. They were dazzled by
her connections. They were ready to
forget the shattered romance of the
crown prince, who had been robbed
of the only woman he had ever loved.
Soon, however. disillusion came.
For. Marie was Indifferent to the king
dom, indifferent to her husband, whom
she did not love. She refused to take
the trouble to learn the language or
TO teach her children to love then
country AS the years have passed
her Indifference has increased and
her popularity has waned. Now the
people grumble at having TO take
care of her children, who, they de-
clare, have not drop of Roumanian
blood in their veins. Her cynicism,
her openness about her many affni-
ties shocks them, and mothers declare
she has lowered the morale of their

The proof that you will not exist in

the legend OF the ages. The poet has
written, Life is fairy tale twice writ

SAGE TEA WILL
DARKEN The HAIR
Restore Faded and Gray Hair
to Natural Color--Dandruff.
Quickly Removed.

There Is nothing new about the idea of
using Sage for restoring the color of the
hair. Our grandmothers kept their hair
dark, glossy and abundant by the use of
n simple Sage Tea" Whenever their
hair fell out or took on a dull, faded or
strcakcd appearance, they made brew
Of Sage leaves, and applied it to their
hair with wonderfully beneficial effect.
Nowadays we don't have to resort to
the old-time tiresome method of gather
ing the herbs and making the tea. This
is done by skillful chemists better than
we could do it ourselves; and all we
have TO do is to call for the ready-made
product, Wyeth's SAGE and Sulphur
Hair Remedy, containing Sage in the
proper strength, with the addition of
Sulphur, another old time scalp remedy.
This preparation gives youthful color
and beauty to the hair, and is one of
the best remedies you can use for dan
drutf, dry, feverish, itching scalp, and
falling hair. Get u fifty cent bottle
from your druggist today, and you will
be surprised at the qaick results. All
druggists sell it, under guarantee that
the money will be refunded if the
remedy is not exactly as represented.

Bucharest, Roumania-With one
exception the most unpopular person
age in Roumania-that is the unhap-
by distinction of Crown Princess Ma
RE. daughter of the English Duke of
Edinburgh and wife of the crown
prince of Roumania.
Twenty-odd years ago the crown
prince fell in love with the beautiful
Helen Vacaresco. He would have
married her, but for reasons of state
it was deemed wise TO prevent the
union. The prince wac sent to Eng
land where he met the Duke Of Edin-
burgh's daughter. He did not love
her. but after two years he yielded to
the tremendous pressure which had
been brought to bear upon him. She
was a princess Of England, with
splendid Russian connections, with
powerful German alliances Why
should a mere matter of love be per
mitted TO spoil such an alliance for
the heir TO the Roumanian throne?

daughters by her example.
In the meantime, Helen Vacarescs
has become the best loved, the most
popular woman in Roumania today.
Her books and poems are read by the
humblest, and her splendid social
work has endeared her to all. The
people of Roumania mourn that the
English princess should have taken
the place in their future kings life
which all now agree should have been
filed by the brilliant and lovable
sweetheart of the crown princes
younger days.
For years, it is said, the crown
princess feared being sent back to
England, but now that two of her chill
dren, Prince Charles and Prince Mich
olas, are grown up she knows she
need fear no longer. She has four
other children: A third son. who has
just arrived: Princess Elizabeth, IS;
Princess Marie, IS, and Princess lie,

mother, are famous for their beauty

CAFES IN BRAZIL.

With a Glimpse Of Rio de Janeiro's
Twenty Foot Wide Broadway.
Downtown in the commercial part of
Rio de Janeiro is the noisy, vivacious
Rua do Ouvidor, of all things Rio de
Janeiran the one that possesses the
most individuality, the place where
everybody who is anybody is to be
seen.
1t is only about twenty feet wide.
Just think Of 1.-THE Broadway of a
great city like Rio!-so narrow and
crowded that vehicles are not allowed
to go through at certain hours of the
day, but most of the somber Portu-
guese style buildings have been re-
placed by modern ones, and what 1t
lacks in width is compensated for by
the attractiveness OF the stores aud
cafes.
These cafes, principally devoted to
the service Of the demitasse, are every
where In Brazil, but here particularly
they are the rendezvous for the official,
military, professional and more pros
porous commercial classes, who drop iD
at all hours to talk things over to the
music of the orchestra-everything
from business, religion and politics to
the idlest society gossip, only they sip
coffee, for the most part, instead OF
highballs and beer.
And such coffee! A North American
