NOT ENGAGED; EACH MAY
 CHOOSE ANOTHER

F. S. writes: T am a girl graduate over IT. My brother is Is. Since our father dield two years ago he is un- manageable. He visits a girl, who is coarse, 11ncultivated, unktnd. Our family is refined, educated, well-to- do. I am ashamed if nice folk come to see me. He has her at the house three times week. He does no work. Is uppish, and self-important. I can have nice company but dare not. I beg mother to stop her coming. What can she do? she answers. Can you tell me some way to change this? Never will forget your kindness"
 It is most always the unexpected that happens. Some girls who are dis liked, later on prove to be angels in disguise. Try to bring better results, iby hope and patience. They are not welded. Each may choose another.

.THE GERMAN PRINCESS"

A little more than 250 years ago all London interested itself in the sayings and doings of a sharp-witted adXen- turess, known as "the German Prin- cess,". whose real name was Mary Moders. After serving as a. maid to a lady travelling on the continent and acquiring smattering of foreign languages, she returned to England with the determination to turn her talents to account in London. She took up quarters at the Exchange Inn, conducted by a MT. King. Taking her hostess into her confidence she confessed that she was Henrietta Maria de Wolway, daughter of the Earl of Roscia, in Colonia, Germany, and had fled to avoid marrying an old count. Mrs. King had 8 brother named John Carleton, of the Mid dle Temple, whom she determined to marry off to the German Princess" :" She introduced her brother as a young nobleman and he played the part well. Finally they were married and lived for a time in happiness, until the sus- picions of MT. King were aroused by the failure of the Princess's fortune to materialize. A sensational divorce suit followed in which Mary Moders was charged with bigamy. She was dcQuttleu one lHeH erleu 1He StdSe as a career but failed, and took to thieving. She was detected, tried and Eentenced to transportation to Ja- maica. On the way over she discov- cred a plot to murder the captain, who set her free for reaveling it to him. She contrived in return to Eng land and again took up thteving, this time on a larger scale. It was some time before she was again caught at her trade. This time she was tried and sentenced to death. She was ex- ecuted at Tyburne on January 22, 1872, together with five young men. She was thirty-eight years old at the time of her death.

THREE winters ago the sweater vogue began and
 | reached what we then thought notto-be equaled popularity. The season following greater vogue for sweaters than ever developed, and since then the demand has doubled and trebled over and over again.
 But the sweaters this season show marked advance over the sweaters of three seasons ago. They pro- vide warmth of course but that to be the least consideration The novel trims the striking colors and combining of colors much more important than mere protection, but discerning and fashion able feminity would have it so and the Loveman, Joseph & Loeb Sweater Shop has gone to the market and brought back to Birmingham all that is newest and most attractive in sweaters. The prices begin at a very modest level and ascend gradually up to novelties of pure thread silk priced high as 65OO each. l2d F0or)
