YOUR WEDDING DAY
And the Famous Men and Women
Who Have Shared it.
BY MARY MARSHALL.
April 24-Mary Queen of Scots and
King Francis II of France.
Emperor Francis Joseph.
(Copnght, 1861


When Mary Stuart, queen of Scots,
was married, 259 years ago today, she
was fifteen and her bridegroom, King
Francis II. of France. was even young
er. Although a native of Scotland and
queen of that northern kingdom, she
had been brought up at the French
court SO as to be acquainted with the
language and customs of her future
bridegroom, to whom she was affianced
for reasons of state when a mere babe.
They were married at Notre Dame
Cathedral in Paris amid fitting pomp
and splendor; but it was long remem-
bered as an i'll omen that when half
way through the marriage feast the
bewitching young bride had to lay
aside her crown with the complaint
that It was much too heavy to be COM
Portable.
Only eighteen months later, she was
| left a widow. divested of that crown
through the untimely death of her boy
husband. Her grief was not one Of dis
appointed love, but of thwarted ambi-
tion, and the day after the death of
the king she restored the royal dia-
monds to her brother-in-law, assumed
the white mourning OF a queen of
France and shut herself up for forty
days in a room draped with black and
| lighted only with torches. Many have
second marriage with Lord DarnIey,
! and there are as many who say that
| II was a love match as those who in
sist that 1t was another marriage of
ambition. But whoever says that Mary
Stuart loved her first husband? How
could the beautiful Scotch queen fall
in love- with the puny little French
dauphin with whom she had been
brought up as a playmate in the royal
nursery?
Emperor Francis Joseph-whose old
age is SO saddened by the present war
married Elizabeth, daughter of the
duke of Bavaria. sixty-two years ago
today. Though she had led a quiet and
secluded life, she was one of the most
accomplished and surely one OF the
most beautiful women in Europe. Her
assassination in 1897 at Geneva by an
Italian assassin was one of the series
of tragedies that were meted out to
the brave Austrian emperor. Their only
son, the Crown Prince Rudolph, COM
mitted suicide by drowning, and of
their two surviving daughters, GiseIa
married the prince regent OF Bavaria,
and Valerie the archduke Franz Saliva
tor of Tuscany.

WASTE BECOMES A HABIT
French Officials Save $4,000 a Year
by Tracing Army
Custom.

Paris.-A wedding out Of unneces.
sary governmental expenses takes
place in the chamber Of deputies every
year when the report of the audit Of
fee is distributed to parliament. Usual.
ly a score or more Of conspicuous
cases in which the public money has
been wasted are selected by com
mittee which investigates them.
A member of the committee on econ
omy spent several hours endeaVoring
to find a reason why ammunition was
sent to the front in zinc-lined cases.
The other members of the committee
and the minister of munitions were
not able to solve the problem, so two
members of the committee accom-,
panied a box of cartridges from Vim,
cennes to the front to ascertain the
reason for the zinc None was forth
coming, hut after numerous frlitless
interviews with army officers tLs gen.
eral in command of the Fifth army hit
upon the reason. The zinc had been
used for sky years around ammunition
boxes and no one had ever thought to
take 1t off
AS a result an order was issued DO
ing away with the zinc lining. AS
the zinc in each box is worth nearly
50 the savings during the war amounts
to almost $15000O year.

SOLITUDE is RoSTAND'S CURE
French Poet Spends All His Time in
Bed, With All Noises
Forbidden.

Paris.-A friend of Edmund Rostand
says that the poet is taking an iso-
lation cure of three months, which he
is passing In bed in his house at Cam
bo. He sees nobody except one serv-
ant. everyone takes pains not to make
any noise in the house, and the poet
receives no letters nor communities
tions with the outside world except
through newspapers, the war account
ing for this compromise of what would
otherwise he perfect isolation. NJ.
Rostand's beard has grown fast, and
the servant who attends him says
that he is now unrecognizable.
He has taken one or two Of these
solitude cures before, once when he
was working on "Cyrano" and once
when he was slightly i'll. He is not
working particularly during this cure,
except for some reading. He was feel
ing out of sorts for several weeks be-
fore he took it, which accounts for his
decision. His friends say that these
cures have a remarkable effect Oh his
health; he gains a great deal of weight
during them, loses his habitual nerv-
BUSINESS, RECEIVERS his powers Of work
ing hard and generally becomes his
old genial self again.
It is said that he discovered the
treatment himself and that it was
against the advice of physicians that
he undertook it for the first time.
