WHY SOCIETY WOMEN

They do. not because il is a fad.

greatest possible hair beauty and
be sure they are not using anything

washing the hair it is never wise 10
use a makeshift but is always adj
visable to use a preparation made
for shampooing only. Many OF our
friends say they get the best results
from a simple homemade canthrox
mixture. You can use this at a
cost of about three cents a sham
poo by getting some canthrox from
your druggist, and dissolving a tea

This makes enough shampoo LIQUID

May 31-Alphonso of Spain and
Victoria OF COnnaught.
The last day Of May eleven years
ago was the wedding day OF the 90
year-old King Of Spain and his 20
year-old brioe, Princess Ena Of Bat
tenberg-nOw known as Queen Vic
toria of Spain. For polite reasons
il is always desirable for kings and
princes % create the popular i'm
preston that their marriages are ex-
ceptions 10 me rule ant are actually
founded on romantic affection in
stead OF reasons OF state. And in
the case of the king and queen Of
Spain ii is not hard 10 believe that
the two persons most concerned
really did fall in love for it was
scarcely a watch which any wise
counsellor Of state would have ar
ranged. In the first place, the
princess was a Protestant. She
was also an obscure person. an al
lance with whom would do Spain
comparatively little good. Never
theless. very vigorous objec-
Il ms were made.
II was EdlIlcla OF COnndugE"
whom the court gossips had all but
married 10 Alfonso. That young
woman didn't fancy him. II VA sa1d
that she actually gave him the nit
ten. There may have been paren-
tai objections. too. At any rate the
story goes that when Ena heard Of
the failure 10 make a match. she
said:
Well. il Patty doesn't want him,
III take him"
Although the affair was settled
in England. where King Alfonso
went awoOing. all the betrOthal
forms had 10 be respected. Alton
so asked Princess Beatrice for her
daughters hand and received formal
consent.
The king 7"tified the council Of
ministers at Madrid and the cortes
OF his betrothal The marriage day
was first set for May II. since that
was the kings birthday. The date
